Conan's New Police Story

Chapter 193 The Bones in the Fireplace

"This world is really amazing."

Kuroba Kaito raised his arms on the sideboard with some emotion, and looked at the policeman standing not far in front of him with great interest.

The two identities that were supposed to be on opposite sides have now come to the same front because of a mysterious criminal organization.

"I can help you, but I have to have room for myself."

"How to say?"

"Do you know how long Phantom Thief Kidd has been in this world, Officer Uehara?"

"You mean Ni? Or?"

Katsumi Uehara, who roughly guessed something, raised his eyebrows, turned his head and grinned at his Kuroba Kaito: "In the beginning, many people tried to use the name of Kaito Kidd to seek personal gain for themselves. But slowly , there is only Kaitou Kidd left on this planet who is recognized by the police all over the world.

"Do you know why?"

"Okay, then I can only give you a piece of advice." Uehara Katsumi smiled indifferently: "Those guys won't shoot you like the second class."

Kaito Kuroba did not respond, or in other words, the figure of him turning and walking towards the door already responded.

When Akemi Miyano ran down the stairs on the second floor with a bag containing some clothes, what caught her eyes was the scene of Katsumi Uehara left alone in the living room.

"The protection mission is complete, and he has returned to the team."

Arms folded around his chest, the man leaning against the wall alone seemed to see the doubt in her eyes, shrugged and said: "Unfortunately, my original plan didn't work, and I have to ask you to come with me again, Miss Miyano .”

"Just call me Akemi, Officer Uehara."

After taking a deep breath, Miyano Akemi, who managed to suppress the anxiety in her heart, tried her best to smile: "It's the same sentence, thank you."

Apart from this thank you, she can't think of any other way to express her gratitude to Uehara Katsumi for the time being. After all, this man seems to have everything in her opinion.

In other words, after thinking about everything, she found that she didn't have any bargaining chips to use to thank her.

"In fact, your cooperation is the best thank you gift to the police, don't doubt it."

Seeing what the woman was thinking, Katsumi Uehara tapped his toes, raised his eyes with a smile and said, "Not every witness who participates in the witness protection program can trust and cooperate with the police unconditionally like you, especially when there are so many accidents in the middle. It saved us a lot of trouble in the face of twists and turns.”

Miyano Akemi pursed her lips, and when she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the man raising his hand: "Stop saying thank you, I've heard calluses in my ears. Let's go, I'll take you to another place—"

Ring Ring Ring!
Before he finished speaking, the cell phone in Uehara Katsumi's pocket rang.

"Sato? What's the matter?"

"Uehara, where are you now?"

"On the way to send Akemi Miyano back, what's the matter, did something happen?"

"Well, Kenzo Masuyama should be dead, the chairman of the Japan Automobile Association, the rich man Chris Binyard used as an excuse."

Masuyama Villa, basement.

Wearing gloves, Miwako Sato put one hand on her hip, raised her eyes to stare at the raging fire in the fireplace, and said solemnly.

"Dead? How did you die?"

"I don't know, but judging from the physical evidence we found at the scene, he should have been shot dead and thrown into the fireplace to burn."

The swaying fire light illuminated the face of Sato who was close at hand, and Shiratori Rensaburo, who was signaling to the police officers to deal with the situation quickly, opened the notebook in his hand, pressed the nib of his pen, and continued to write and draw on it.

"...I see, I'll be right there."

Katsumi Uehara hung up the phone, turned his head to look at Miyano Akemi who was beside him, and took a deep breath and said, "If you don't mind, can you stay in my car for a while longer?"

"The case is important, and I can do it."

Miyano Akemi is very cooperative.

Nearly three and ten minutes later, Magenta's EVO stopped in front of a villa with many police cars at the gate.

Wearing a signature light green suit and a ponytail, Katsumi Uehara reached out to pick up the white and blue cordon after getting out of the car, and walked into the blocked villa without looking back.

"Sato, Shiratori, what's the situation at the scene?"

"Our people found something wrong during today's surveillance. When they found this basement, all they saw was a victim who had been burned in the fireplace until he was not a human being, a gun, and a few bullets. bullet."

Seeing the visitor, Miwako Sato habitually threw the gloves she had prepared to him, brushed her slightly dry red lips with the tip of her tongue, and briefly introduced the situation.

"What about forensic class?"

Katsumi Uehara walked towards the fireplace while wearing gloves and looked around. There were two wine glasses facing each other on the coffee table not far away.

"Because there was a fire in the fireplace, no fingerprints could be found on the gun. We cannot determine the exact time of death. Also, for all the objects at the scene of the crime, the forensic department can only extract the ones that belonged to Kenzo Masuyama fingerprint……"

Appearing in front of Katsumi Uehara with a small notebook filled with various on-site records, Shiratori Rensaburo elaborated word by word: "As for the dead body, strictly speaking he is not even a dead body, because it is only There are only bones left, and we can't even determine his identity, but judging from the situation at the scene, this bone is very likely to belong to Kenzo Masuyama..."

Listening to Shiratori's statement, Katsumi Uehara walked to the body bag and knelt down, slowly unzipping the zipper with his gloved hands——

The burned bones were neatly stacked, and the skull had obvious bullet marks.

"We have already contacted the people from Scientific Research Search to come over to make bones—"

"No need, it's better for me to do it myself when they come up with the results. It just so happens that I have to go to Mihua Central Hospital later, and Chengshi is an orthopedic surgeon.

"Oh, by the way, when you came in, was the fireplace very hot?" Uehara Katsumi, who zipped up, got up and walked to the fireplace, reached in.

Even though the flames had been extinguished, the temperature still remaining in the air was staggering.

"Yes."

"The monitoring didn't find anything?"

"No, we don't even know how the murderer got out. There is no other way out of this basement other than the door, but we have secretly set up surveillance outside the door, and we haven't found anything at all."

"Either the murderer entered and exited the basement through this fireplace passage, or our monitoring has been altered."

Miwako Sato looked at her partner who was poking his head into the fireplace, and then said, "A police officer is climbing up inside right now."

"Where's the monitoring?" Uehara Katsumi turned his head and asked.

"The section chief, Matsumoto management officer, and Megure Police Department take turns to watch over it." Ren Saburo Shiratori, who turned over a page of the small book, gave the answer.

　　Scared to death, I almost thought I had to change the graphics card...
