Conan's New Police Story

Chapter 83 Uehara's Reasoning [Fourth More]

"...Ten plagues?"

Mu Mushisan, who didn't know much about these religious things, was at a loss, but Toshiro Odagiri, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, had a look on his face, as if thinking of related memories: ""Exodus", blood plague, frog plague, Plague of lice, plague of flies, plague of boils, plague of livestock, plague of hail, plague of locusts, plague of darkness, plague of the firstborn.”

"That's right, the killing rules used by the criminals evolved from the most famous core content in "Exodus".

"The Ten Plagues of Egypt, this is the passage in the Bible where God showed his power and bestowed disasters on ancient Egypt, and used his terrifying power to convince the Pharaoh to agree to return the freedom of the Israelites."

Conan, who was hiding under Uehara Katsumi's desk, pulled up the bowknot voice changer, sat down on the cold ground, and said in a concentrated voice:

"The first plague: the flood of blood. According to legend, God tapped the Nile River with a scepter in the hands of Aaron, and then the Nile River was empty of dead fish and water, and the river water turned into blood until seven days later.

"The seven dead in the serial murder case used this allusion—a fish tank without fish, and the corpses were found after the water in the tank was dyed red and turned into blood, and lasted for seven days."

——? !

Mu Mu Shisan in the meeting room widened his eyes in astonishment, and his breathing gradually became heavy: "What about the restaurant?"

"The second disaster: the plague of frogs. God cast a spell with a scepter, causing frogs to spread all over Egypt, which made the Egyptians very distressed. The Asahiju restaurant that was detonated is precisely the specialty restaurant that specializes in frog meat.

"According to the information and photos investigated by the Uehara Criminal Office, the location where the restaurant named Asahiju was detonated is precisely the cold storage of the ingredients, so there are ruins full of frog meat ingredients photographed by the Uehara Criminal Office , That photo is still hanging on the blackboard where the case is sorted out."

Conan, who was sitting on the ground, turned his head subconsciously, his eyes fell on the blackboard he lifted up and said.

"wrong."

Odagiri Toshiro, who was in the first place, frowned: "Even if you two can get in touch, what about the third pest plague, the fourth plague plague, the fifth plague plague, and the sixth plague plague?"

"The racecourse! The Red Horn Commercial Racecourse!"

Before the words fell, Miwako Sato, who was next to the thirteenth position, suddenly thought of the situation that he and Katsumi Uehara encountered in the racecourse that night.

Searching the office area of ​​the third department, Conan, who was looking at the blackboard, raised his mouth: "That's right, it's the racecourse.

"Judging from the case analysis records, Criminal Takagi first discovered the dead body of the old horse in the stable, and then found the body of Kirino's wife and daughter who claimed to be kidnapped in the horse farm.

"If I'm not mistaken, the stables at that time should have a very bad smell, Mr. Sato, it's not just the smell of formalin."

Facing the gazes of the police chiefs, Miwako Sato, who was named, nodded with absolute certainty: "Uehara even sweared about it, and I remember there were rotten sores on the corpse, and there were also many flies. I was there Almost every now and then you have to wave them away."

“The description of the plagues of livestock in the Ten Plagues of Egypt is that God cast a spell to kill the cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock raised by the Egyptians, and a plague was produced from this, and only the livestock of the Israelites remained unscathed.

"Back to reality, the murderer replaced the dead livestock with old horse carcasses from the racecourse. The same principle applies to lice, flies, and even sores."

Conan recalled the content of the Bible he had read, and said loudly:

"The third plague: lice plague. As a horse farm, it is very necessary to remove lice from horses regularly. I learned about this when I bought a racehorse before. I want to see the number of lice parasitized on horses. The horse breeding manual is clear;

"The Fourth Plague: The Plague of Flies Needless to say, Sato Criminal's answer just now must have been clear enough.

"Fifth disaster: sore disaster. Criminal Sato also said that the Kirino mother and daughter found in the racecourse had rotten sores on their bodies. According to the new autopsy information on the blackboard, it was the lesions caused by their drug overdose.

"As for the sixth plague of animal plague, it's like I said before. Prisoners can't get rid of the plague, so naturally they can only refer to it as dead livestock—that is, the horses in the racecourse."

"If you say that..."

Miwako Sato, one of Megushisan's right-hand men, walked along this line of thought, and her eyes lit up: "Water stains! The seventh disaster of hailstorm is the water stains left after the ice smashed the glass on the three sites and melted." ! The eighth locust—"

Speaking of this, Miwako Sato suddenly got stuck.

"Masked Rider."

Conan, who was not interested in Tokusho, thought of the narration he heard not long ago: "The Masked Superman left by the prisoner on the scene refers to the locust that brought disaster.

"According to the setting of this special drama, Kamen Rider's body has been transformed. As the protagonist, Kamen Rider is the first reformed person in the evil organization to incorporate locust genetic modification, which can also be called For the Locusts."

"I see!"

Mu Mu Shisan slapped his forehead, his face extremely heavy: "So the ninth disaster of darkness refers to the villa that was cut off due to the damage of the electric box! The tenth disaster refers to the eldest son of Takasugi Toshihiko of the Takasugi Consortium and the son of the Suzuki Consortium. The eldest daughter Suzuki Ayako!"

"Yes."

Conan lowered his head slightly, and his eyes fell from the blackboard: "According to the records of the Bible, God promised to patrol all over Egypt until midnight. From the pharaohs to the ordinary people of Egypt, there is no family with an immortal eldest son. No one with the firstborn escaped death. Even the eldest son in prison."

Miwako Sato's face sank: "The last bomb, the prisoner still has the last bomb in his hand, he locked Takasugi Toshihiko and Suzuki Ayako together, just like the eldest son locked in a prison in mythology.

"Wait a minute, Detective Maori. If that's the case, the law of the murderer's action is broken, but when will they do it?"

Sato Miwako was puzzled.

It's just-

"Miyazawa Shin."

"Eh?"

"Sato Sato, do you still remember what Miyazawa Nobu does?" In the light, Conan's lens hidden under the table glowed.

"What?"

Miwako Sato frowned, recalling his occupation: "The manager of the financial department of the Takasugi Consortium is mainly responsible for connecting with the Suzuki Consortium, because the two of them have jointly launched a large-scale underwater sightseeing tunnel project, and he has been following him all the time."

As soon as Sato finished speaking, Toshiro Odagiri, who was in the first seat, answered: "The content of Exodus, kill the eldest son, and Moses divides the sea."

"The Sheriff is right. This is the most important node in the Old Testament, and it is the beginning of the gathering of the Israelites to flee Egypt in unity. The record of this passage in the Bible ends with the killing of the firstborn son in the last of the ten plagues. Finally, Pharaoh released the Israelites headed by Moses.

"After the release, Moses used the power of God to create a classic allusion that is still used in major film and television and literary works-Moses divides the sea.

"My friend Yusaku Kudo wrote a mystery novel based on "Moses Divides the Sea" in the early years."

Conan, who was almost bald, grinned in surprise, and hurriedly made amends: "In other words, there is a high probability that the prisoner is now waiting for their companion to return in the undersea sightseeing tunnel that divides the ocean. Dr. Xia Muchuan is about to be detained."

"According to previous news reports, the undersea sightseeing tunnel has been cleared and is waiting to be opened. However, as one of the former project leaders, Miyazawa Shinobu should have the key to get in and out of it."

Mu Mushisan's face darkened: "His wife, Miyazawa Yuka. So as long as they are caught who are about to escape, they can ask the whereabouts of the kidnapped Takasugi Toshihiko and Suzuki Ayako."

"That's right." After finishing the last sentence, Conan slowly put down the bow.

"These three bastards! What do you think of the police?!"

Mu Mu Shisan, whose temples were throbbing, couldn't care less about the presence of his boss, and angrily punched the desk: "Sato! Someone locked up that Xia Mu Chuan Zhiya for me!

"Lead the team and start arresting people immediately! Make sure they tell the whereabouts of Takasugi Toshihiko and Suzuki Ayako before the bomb explodes!"

"understand!"

"Inspector, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Mu Moshisan apologized to Odagiri Toshiro, who looked calm.

"I'll leave it to you, Mu Mu, catch the living."

"Yes! Sheriff!"

Mu Shisanyi saluted, turned around and was about to rush out of the meeting room with Sato.In the next second, a slightly disturbed breathing sound came from the microphone——

"Wait a minute for the police department, the Maori detective's reasoning is wrong."

"Uehara?!"

"Uehara-kun?!"

Uehara Katsumi? !
Almost at the same time, the expressions of everyone in the conference room and Conan who was under Uehara Katsumi's desk in the office area of ​​the third department were shocked.

After getting out of the elevator, Katsumi Uehara, who obviously came trotting all the way, pushed open the door of the office area, glanced at Kogoro Mouri who was sitting on a chair with his head lowered as if he was sleeping, and said with a sigh of relief: "Or, the front door Yes, but the last part is wrong."

Got the last part wrong?

Conan, who was hiding under the table, shrank back and frowned.

"The prisoner is not waiting for the return of his companions to escape from the undersea sightseeing tunnel, but waiting for a large number of police officers to come and die!

"The last remaining bomb is nowhere else, but in the underwater sightseeing tunnel!

"Takasugi Toshihiko and Suzuki Ayako are not their ultimate goal, their ultimate goal is the police! It's the chasing police!"

Shrugging his tie, Katsumi Uehara sternly said, "Toshihiko Takasugi and Ayako Suzuki are just their tools, because in their view, this is the fastest way to gather a large number of police officers in an instant for pursuit.

"The purpose of all they did was not to kill a few people, but to reproduce the tragic death of the Egyptian army engulfed by the sea in the mythology of the Bible after Moses divided the sea.

"This is also the reason why Xia Mu Chuanzhi also chose to enter the Metropolitan Police Department, he is not waiting for the detention time to end to jump face, he is here to fulfill the NPC obligations.

"When the police are at a loss, as time goes by, people from the consortium will definitely take him away to torture and extract a confession. As long as he falsely spits out information at this time, the consortium will definitely notify the police to mobilize a lot of manpower to enter the sightseeing tunnel to search .”

Katsumi Uehara slapped the table, and said in a concentrated voice: "The police department, their target is us, and their target is to kill a large number of police officers at once! The last target of their revenge is the police!"

　Four shifts!
　　Although it was an hour later than the scheduled time, praise me!
