Chapter 838: Let me just ask you whether anyone is dead or not?Conan suddenly felt angry and hot all over, and his temples bulged slightly unconsciously.
He snatched Haibara Ai's phone, opened the text message interface, and started thinking like a crazy person.
Without any hesitation, after a brief contemplation, he reasoned in a deep voice: "There are a lot of these numbers, but the strange thing is that 1031-1101 are skipped directly. If converted into dates, it would be October st to November st, and the general time for these numbers is late October to early November."
"The notes in these katakana also have traces. For example, Xianqiao Commercial and Dadujianju, if I guess correctly, refer to the commercial street of Xianqiao, and Dadujian refers to the residents' committee. The others are also some construction companies and manufacturing factories."
"The numbers behind are 800, 350, 200, 400, and 150. These should refer to the amount, and the unit should be . As for the currency, I don't know."
Conan said proudly: "From the end of October to the beginning of November, it is the time for the Tokyo Assembly election. From this point of view, these codes should refer to some shady operations in the election, and these codes are the bills for bribery!"
Haibara Ai:"……"
Normally you take a lot of time to solve a case, why are you so fast today?
Could it be that he was stimulated and that's why he was willing to use all his strength?
Sure enough, people don’t know their limits unless they try something exciting.
Huihara Ai was speechless, Conan looked at her proudly and asked, "How about it, such a simple thing can be deduced in one go, right?"
“Is there anyone who can’t even come up with this inference?”
"No way, right?"
"Then you're awesome."
Huihara Ai showed dead fish eyes, resisted the urge to reach out and hit Conan on the head, then reached out to snatch the phone back, quickly tapped on the keyboard to edit the text message and sent it out:
[The code has been cracked. It is a code related to election corruption. The code above is the time period and...]
"..."
Conan looked at Huiyuan Ai who didn't pay much attention to him and just sent a text message, and suddenly realized that something was wrong:
It’s over, I’ve been sold out!
You fake loli, we are obviously good comrades who know each other well and are open-hearted to each other.
Why did you turn around and sell out my good comrade?
Conan looked at Haibara Ai who was silently sending text messages, and felt that this fake loli was a traitor.
But if you think about it, it seems that I am the outsider, which is quite reasonable?
It's impossible to know someone's ins and outs.
From the bottom of my heart...
This fake loli should be able to do it.
In a physical sense, of course.
…………
On the other side, Snow King Ice City.
Fujino received a text message from Haibara Ai.
After a careful comparison, I was able to see the clues.
I can only say that she is worthy of being Ai. She is very fast at cracking secret codes. The title of Secret Code Princess is confirmed.
It's just bribery of politicians or something...
Fujino couldn't help but be speechless for a moment, feeling that he had encountered too many political cases.
A foreign minister was just removed a while ago.
It looks like there will be another case of election fraud today...
Fortunately, he will not go into politics in the future, otherwise he would have a lot of political enemies.
"I understand!"
Yumi Miyamoto contacted the telecommunications company and wrote down everything she found out in a small notebook.
She picked up her notebook and said to everyone, "After those three calls two days ago, three people used the phone numbers to contact the telecommunications company to inquire about their personal information and home addresses."
"The first person was an unemployed person who wanted to go for an interview. He forgot the note with the company he was interviewing for at home. He didn't dare to call to inquire, fearing that he would be rejected by the interviewer due to carelessness, so he contacted the telecommunications company to inquire about the address."
"The second person wanted to know the current location of the phone because his daughter ran away from home."
"The third person met someone by chance while traveling, but he accidentally put that person's phone in his luggage. He wanted to return the phone to that person, so he knew that person's phone number and address." Miyamoto Yumi sighed and said, "The operator who answered the phone didn't intend to reveal the identity of the person on the line, so he didn't write down the phone number the other party was looking for."
Fujino thought for a moment and asked, "Since we can investigate their identities through their phone numbers, we should be able to find out their addresses, right?"
"Well, although I'm not sure about the order, the address is clear."
Yumi Miyamoto stuck out her tongue and subconsciously dipped her fingers in the saliva.
But after thinking about it, she suddenly remembered something, stopped what she was doing, and looked at the people in front of her with embarrassment.
"Don't do that next time."
Fujino said sincerely: "If someone poisoned your police manual, you would kill them with this poison. You would smell almonds in your mouth after you die."
Miyamoto Yumi: "..."
I thought I would be considered childish.
I didn't expect that he would be directly considered dead!
Fujino didn't pay any attention to the silent Miyamoto Yumi, but directly took over the fruits of the code assistant's labor: "I have cracked the code in the phone. Now I just need to find the address the other party called from, and the case can be closed."
"Has the code been cracked?"
"And we just need to find the other party's address..."
"What kind of case is this?"
Everyone was confused when they heard this.
Of course, I just feel confused about this case.
After all, Fujino is a famous detective after all.
It's reasonable that the famous detective saw through the case at a glance, right?
Fujino would not disappoint them. He coughed to moisten his throat and reasoned, "These codes are actually bribery bills, and the bribers are people who participated in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly election. The breakthrough in the case now lies in the address where the call was made... As long as we figure out the address of the call, we can determine whether the person who left the phone here mistook the Poirot Café for somewhere else."
"Election bribery case?"
Miyamoto Yumi was stunned. "Then this matter should be handed over to the Second Investigation Section, right?"
"Can we give them a second lesson with the case we got?"
Fujino frowned slightly when he heard this: "I'm asking you if there are any dead people now?"
"The dead are dead..."
Yumi Miyamoto hesitated: "But that person died accidentally."
"I just want to ask you if anyone is dead?"
"It's dead."
"That's enough. This case will be assigned to the Investigation Division... Yumi, you don't want the credit to be taken away from you, do you?"
Miyamoto Yumi: "..."
You kid, you have perfectly integrated into the search lesson, right?
The Investigation Section 2 she mentioned is, strictly speaking, the Election Department under the Investigation Section 2 of the Criminal Department, a department responsible for election fraud cases in Tokyo.
Investigation Section 1 is responsible for murder and arson, Investigation Section 2 is responsible for high-IQ crimes, as well as various corruption and economic investigations, and Investigation Section 3 is responsible for robbery, thieves, and theft gangs.
Ginzo Nakamori is the inspector of Investigation Section 2. Although Investigation Section 3 is responsible for catching thieves, high-IQ criminals who are internationally wanted like Kaito KID are still handled by Investigation Section 2.
The powers within the Metropolitan Police Department are actually very complicated. It is common for people to arrest people and take credit for other people's work without authorization.
But more often than not, it’s the people in the Investigation Section who overstep their authority and take credit for the work.
After all, once murder is involved, the severity of the crime will be similar to that of any other crime and will require investigation.
The most common excuse is: "I just want to ask you if anyone is dead?"
There's a dead person, so this job falls to the search department.
