"Order received." After receiving the order, Nishiki Chitsugu saluted in a lively tone.
Perhaps she was the most hard-hearted person among those present.
She has been carrying out operations department missions for so long and has seen too many deaths. The only difference this time is that those who died were Eriri's family members.
In her opinion, no one's death is special, including her own.
Seeing that Luo Shu had already ordered the capture and detention of Conan, Kasumigaoka Utaha had no intention of staying to watch, so she said directly:
"Then I will start the review directly."
"Hopefully, we can get a result as soon as possible."
Chapter 117 Conan Accepts His Fate
Prayer room.
In front of the body covered with white cloth.
Taking advantage of his small stature and the fact that all the staff were busy, Conan quickly crossed the cordon and entered the prayer room, quickly approaching the corpse.
However, before he could move, a hand grabbed his collar:
"Hey, kid, you can't run around here."
Conan turned around and saw that the person holding him was actually an acquaintance.
I remember that he was a patrol officer who often followed Inspector Megure. He seemed to be in Takagi Shigeru's care?
Noticing this, Conan quickly explained:
"Well, big brother, it was Uncle Maori who asked me to come here."
"Mori-senpai?" Takagi Wataru was stunned when he heard this. He was still very diligent in his heart. Why did Maori Kogoro let a little brat come over? Wasn't he afraid of causing trouble?
However, even though he thought so in his heart, Takagi Shigeru's tone softened a little:
"Little boy, does Maori-senpai have any requests for anything? You can tell me."
Conan was shocked when he heard this. He subconsciously used Mouri Kogoro as an excuse because he thought that Mouri Kogoro was a detective and would make the police tolerate him like they did when he was Kudo Shinichi.
However, he forgot that Mouri Kogoro is not as famous as Kudo Shinichi. Just because Takagi Wataru listens to Kudo Shinichi does not mean that he will listen to the current Mouri Kogoro, even if the other party was a former senior in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Thinking of this, Conan became anxious and quickly changed his words:
"Oh, actually I don't know either. Uncle Maori just told me to walk around the body and he said I would naturally find the thing."
"Oh, it seems that Brother Luo Shu asked Uncle Mao Li to find that thing."
The reason why he didn't mention Megure Jusan was because he was afraid that Takagi Shigeru would go to Megure Jusan to verify the situation.
But with Luo Shu along, things are different.
Conan knew very well that as the heads of the special department, Takagi Wataru and even Megure Jusan would not easily go to Luo Shu to verify the situation, so he deliberately said that it was Luo Shu's instructions.
"Officer Luo Shizheng..." Takagi Wataru's face changed immediately when he heard the name.
Takagi Shigeru is not timid, but he is afraid of this high-ranking official in the special department who was quickly promoted from inspector to senior superintendent after joining the Metropolitan Police Department. Especially since he had cooperated with Inspector Sato in investigating the other party in the past, Takagi Shigeru was even more afraid.
Therefore, Takagi Wataru, who was worried about being bullied, let go of Conan's hand and said with an embarrassed expression:
"Since that's what he meant, then kid, you should investigate carefully. Remember not to destroy the scene."
"I see."
Conan said this in a child's tone, then quickly approached the corpse and began to observe the condition of the corpse, occasionally lifting the white cloth to observe the condition of the corpse.
"The fatal injury was to the head, a blunt force trauma... Considering the size and shape... the weapon must have been quite large..."
"Hmm? Why is there dirt on the ground?"
Conan glanced at the dirt next to the body, dipped his finger in it, and put it to his mouth:
"The dirt is very fresh... It doesn't look like it came from the shoes... Could it be from the murder weapon?"
'The murder weapon touched the soil, and then the dead body?'
"Then the murderer is someone who has access to both the soil and the murder weapon, and satisfies both requirements..."
Suddenly, sparks flashed in Conan's mind: "Is it the gardener?!!"
Just at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind, holding a piece of white cloth, and pressed it directly on Conan's nose.
'not good! ! ’
Conan was shocked. Without even thinking, he knew there must be some medicine wrapped in the white cloth.
How dare the murderer attack him in front of all the Metropolitan Police Department members?
Conan was suddenly filled with shock and anger, and even though he was being dragged in the air by a hand by the back of his neck, he still struggled desperately.
It was at this moment that he was lifted up and was able to see part of the prayer room.
He saw the cold-faced and handsome Luo Shu on the spot, and also saw the serious-faced Megure Jusan and the nervous-looking Takagi Wataru beside Luo Shu.
Next to these people were Sayuri Sawamura and Eriri, mother and daughter, with complicated expressions on their faces.
When Conan saw these people, he struggled desperately and opened his mouth to call for help.
However, at this moment, he had already realized something in his mind, but he just couldn't believe it.
Until, Kogoro Mouri brought the sad-looking Ran Mouri to the door of the prayer room. When he saw Kogoro Mouri's solemn expression and Ran Mouri biting her lip and trying hard to hold back tears.
In an instant, Conan seemed to understand something, and slowly he gave up struggling.
Soon, Conan's hands and feet fell down, and he was held in someone's hand like a powerless sponge.
At that time, Nishiki Chitsu, who had grabbed Conan's neck with one hand and lifted the kid up, loosened the white cloth and held him up as he spoke:
"It's strange. He's just a little kid, but he's surprisingly strong."
"But fortunately, the matter has been resolved."
As he spoke, Jinmu Qianshu turned his head and waved to Luo Shu:
"It's done!"
Luo Shu nodded upon seeing this, and immediately instructed: "Take this man back to the department's headquarters for detention, and I will deal with him when I come back."
"Okay~"
Luo Shu confirmed that Conan was put into a silver metal box by Nishiki Chitsuka and taken away. Then he walked over slowly and said to Maori Kogoro and his daughter:
"I have confirmed the identity of the child's parents. Next, we will discuss the child's situation with his parents."
"As for that Professor Agasa, you don't have to worry about it, Maori. I will take care of it."
"That would be the best."
Hearing Luo Shu say this, Maori Kogoro also breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether Luo Shu really contacted Conan's parents or not, he just listened to what the other party said.
And Kogoro Mori also knew that these words were not spoken to him, but to Ran Mori.
Although it is not clear why Luo Shu asked Mao Lilan to come and see why Conan was captured, it is obviously not a matter that he needs to solve.
On the other hand, Mao Lilan was also very entangled when she heard that Luo Shu would contact Conan's parents. She couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Luo, why do you want to arrest Conan-kun?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu calmly said that he did not believe it at all:
"This child shows signs of illegal human experimentation."
"Although we cannot confirm who the perpetrator is, we have a target here after receiving information from the Metropolitan Police Department and FBI undercover agents."
"In order to prevent this child from being targeted by the organization conducting human experiments, we need to put him under witness protection with the consent of his parents."
"How could this be?"
When she heard that Conan was actually the product of human experiments, Mouri Ran covered her mouth with a look of pity on her face.
Her maternal instinct made her feel sorry for Conan, but her reason told her that letting Luo Shu take Conan away was the best option for the child.
"I understand, Mr. Luo Shu, thank you for your help to Conan."
Upon hearing this, everyone present who knew the situation except Mao Lilan had an awkward expression on their faces.
Especially when Luo Shu said calmly, "This is the duty of the Metropolitan Police Department," everyone's faces were almost unable to hold back their excitement.
Finally, under the compassionate gaze of Mao Lilan, Conan was put into a metal box and loaded into a van. After being transported for several streets, he was escorted by Gin and Vodka who arrived.
While in a coma throughout the whole process, Conan was sent to the secret management department in Akihabara-cho, Tokyo by Gin and Vodka, who were unaware of the situation. He was received by Yukinoshita Yukino and sent to the secret management area underground.
Luo Shu, who was at Sawamura's house, did not care about his own itinerary. After seeing Conan off, he slowly walked to the corpse, squatted down, and touched the half-dried blood with his white-gloved hand.
After getting stained with blood, he took away a strand of hair with a follicle, then stood up and said to Sayuri Sawamura:
"Let's go and listen to the final result."
Chapter 118 Divination is not omnipotent (fourth update)
In the reception room.
Sitting around the sofa in the center, everyone, including Luo Shu, was listening to Kasumigaoka Utaha's investigation results.
"The man who killed Mr. Robert was the gardener 'Mitsui'."
"The murder weapon used was a 'shovel' used to dig the soil in the yard."
"According to my own memory, he took advantage of Mr. Robert's unpreparedness, entered the unlocked prayer room, and hit Mr. Robert's head with a shovel from behind, which directly caused his death."
"After doing this, he quickly fled the scene, cleaned the shovel used to kill, put it in the warehouse, and pretended to be repairing equipment. He stayed in the warehouse until the Metropolitan Police Department arrived."
Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was reporting with the file in hand in front of him, Luo Shu took a deep breath, then exhaled, turned his head and looked at Matsumoto Kiyonaga who was sitting next to him.
After hearing about the case, this senior official of the Metropolitan Police Department immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed to the scene without stopping, and only arrived just now.
"So, this is the whole process of the diplomat being killed?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga felt a headache and pressed his eyebrows.
He was just about to report the deaths of several tourists from Hong Kong in Akihabara Town, and now there is another case of a diplomat being killed.
The key point is that Luo Shu was involved in both things, which made Matsumoto Kiyonaga really not know what to say.
Fortunately, Minister Luo Shuluo still had some sense of public morality and at least knew to put an end to the incident he was involved in. Otherwise, he would have to prepare a few more quick-acting heart pills.
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Luo Shu, and after seeing him nod, she explained to Matsumoto Kiyonaga:
"Based on my memory, this is the entire process of the incident."
Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded and said nothing more, indicating that he agreed with the results of the investigation.
After all, the incident was forcibly taken over by Luo Shu. No matter what the result of the investigation was, it was Luo Shu's responsibility. He only had to agree to the result on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department, so naturally there were not too many questions.
Compared to Matsumoto Kiyonaga who only wanted a conclusion, Sayuri Sawamura was more concerned about the reasons:
"What was the motive for the murder?"
Sayuri Sawamura said with a complicated expression:
"Mitsui has worked in my family for almost twenty years. His family is also a subsidiary of my Sawamura family. He works in my family as a retainer."
"In that case, why did he kill Robert?"
Ying Lili, who was listening at the side, also raised her head at this time. She was also very confused. How could the gardener uncle who always brought her small gifts when she was a child and came to mediate when she was scolded, kill her father?
Seeing the expressions of the mother and daughter, Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed:
"According to the results of hypnosis, Mitsui discovered that Mr. Robert was secretly investigating Mrs. Sawamura's affair, and after confirming that Mr. Robert already knew about the adulterer, he killed her in order to protect his wife."
"absurd!!"
Sayuri Sawamura was so angry that she laughed:
"Just because of this?"
"He killed my husband because of something like this?"
