Conan's New Police Story

Chapter 48 Three cases in one? 【Second Update】

When Chiba and Takagi came back from the bathroom shaking the water in their hands, Miwako Sato and Katsumi Uehara were already standing on the blackboard and talking freely, and it seemed that their differences had been resolved.

"Doctors, hospital security guards, financial practitioners, horse breeders on horse farms, construction workers, power plant managers, truck drivers, this prisoner really doesn't care about meat and vegetables, he has everything."

Hanging the photos of the deceased in the archives on the blackboard under the "Serial Murder Case" sequence, Katsumi Uehara turned his head and glanced at the photos of two men in black that Miwako Sato posted under the "Shinkansen Bombing Case" sequence.

"Judging from the information we have so far, although the seven deceased had different occupations and ages, the only thing they have in common is that they all had a good reputation among colleagues, relatives and friends, and they were well-known good people..."

Takagi Tsutomu and Chiba Kazunobu, who had dried their hands, couldn't help being shocked when they saw this, and immediately stepped forward and began to introduce each of the deceased. Sato and Kamiji, who had never been involved in this serial murder case before, sat and listened——

No.1 The deceased was a doctor at Mihua Central Hospital, male, 45 years old, working in the Department of Neurology;
No.2 The deceased was a security guard at Mihua Central Hospital, male, 57 years old, working in the security department of the hospital;

No.3 The deceased was a financial practitioner, male, 31 years old, and worked for Suzuki Fund;
No.4 The deceased was a horse breeder, male, 47 years old, working for the Red Horn Jockey Club;

No.5 The deceased was a construction worker, male, 28 years old, and worked for a construction company under the Takasugi Foundation;

No.6 The deceased was a power plant manager, male, 45 years old, and worked for a power company under the Suzuki consortium;

No.7 The deceased was a truck driver, male, 37 years old, and worked for a freight company under the Suzuki consortium.

"During our investigation, none of the seven deceased showed any abnormalities on the day before their death, and they were even talking and laughing with their family members on the morning of the day of their death..."

"From the point of view of the social circle, these seven people do not know each other, and there is no overlapping range of relatives and friends. As for the people who have enemies with these seven people, we were still visiting and investigating one by one before Shiratori's accident. The portion is huge..."

As the first police officers to investigate the serial murder case, Takagi Tsubasa and Chiba Kazunobu have already explained the situation to Kamihara Katsumi and Sato Miwako in the most concise words possible.But even so, it took them more than 40 minutes to make an introduction.

"The initial examination results from the forensics department showed that the hearts of the seven deceased had fatal wounds. At the same time, their left wrists were all cut open, which is why the fish tank was filled with blood."

"And the wound on the heart is very thin and narrow, not like a traditional knife. At the same time, traces of resistance were also found on the bodies of the seven deceased."

The two people who sat on the chairs while listening and flipping through the materials had serious expressions on their brows.

"There are traces of resistance, which means that the seven deceased had contact with the murderer before their death, and the contact was emotional.

"According to the data, the truck driver was the strongest among the seven dead, with a height of 176cm and a weight of 87kg; followed by a construction worker, with a height of 172cm and a weight of 84kg."

"Leave aside the others and don't look at it for the time being. It is not an easy time to easily subdue these two people and let them wait for death obediently."

The cap of the ballpoint pen draws circles back and forth on the documents, and Katsumi Uehara mutters about the portrait of the prisoner in his heart: "A strong adult male?"

On the side, Miwako Sato turned her pen and added: "But if it is drugged, even a woman can do it, and we have to wait for the autopsy and blood results to make a judgment.

"However, according to the data, the seven deceased had all gone to work on the day of their death, but they were later found dead in an abandoned dangerous building in the suburbs. That is to say, did the prisoner have a car? Or rent a car? Takagi, Chiba , haven't you checked this before?"

"We checked this, but there was a corpse every day during those seven days, and there were too many vehicles that had been to the suburbs, so we couldn't find the corresponding suspect vehicle at all.

"And the area where the body was found is a place that has long been abandoned. It has only been included in the list of dangerous buildings in recent years and is ready to be demolished and rebuilt. Therefore, there is no surveillance nearby at all. The original surveillance has long been broken."

Hearing the words, Takagi Tsutomu hurriedly explained, and Chiba Kazushin, who was thirsty beside him, took advantage of this time to return to his work station and picked up a water cup to take a few sips.

"Have you checked the fish tank?" Katsumi Uehara, rubbing his chin, closed the file in his hand: "The sale of this kind of large fish tank, generally speaking, the shopkeeper should be very impressed."

"I have checked, but there is no gain, because the person who bought these seven fish tanks died due to an accident."

"died?"

"Yes, the person who bought the fish tank was named Miyazawa Nobu. He was a manager of the finance department of the Takasugi Foundation. He died in a car accident a month ago. It seems that Sakata and the others next door are responsible for this case."

"?"

Katsumi Uehara, who felt familiar with the name at first glance, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Nobu Miyazawa? Manager of the Finance Department of the Takasugi Foundation?"

Miwako Sato, who noticed the strangeness of her partner, felt a little strange: "Do you know each other?"

"When I went to the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office before, I met this Miyazawa Nobu's wife who complained for her husband, saying that the police made a wrong judgment and her husband was actually murdered."

Recalling the appearance of the woman named Miyazawa Yuka who couldn't kneel on that rainy day, Uehara Katsumi rubbed his temples, feeling a little pain in his head for a while.

How did this add another case?
"No, what does he, a manager of the finance department, buy seven large fish tanks for? Go home to raise fish?" Katsumi Uehara suddenly realized while rubbing his eyes, and looked up at Takagi and Chiba.

"No, we asked. It was considered a purchase of soft decoration. There are also a series of soft decoration items purchased together with this fish tank. I have also checked the list and the actual objects. They are all right, and there are no shortages. Miyazawa Nobu It was funded by signature."

"...Anyway, since it has something to do with it, please ask Mrs. Miyazawa to come to the Metropolitan Police Department—"

Miwako Sato, who had closed the file in her hand, hadn't finished speaking when the phone vibrated——

"I'm Sato."

Miwako Sato, who hastily pressed the answer button after seeing the note, gradually changed her expression: "Is that so? I understand, thank you."

Seeing this, Katsumi Uehara raised his eyebrows curiously: "What's wrong?"

"The results of the call records of the bomber came out. The mobile phone number belongs to Toshihiko Takasugi."

"Takasugi Toshihiko? The son of the Takasugi consortium?"

"Ah."

Miwako Sato nodded, and immediately put down her teacup and stood up: "Takagi, Chiba, you two are going to make an appointment with Mrs. Miyazawa; Uehara, follow me to the Takasugi Foundation."
