27. Metropolitan Police Department Love Story I

Although he caught up with Conan and the others with the idea of sleeping, and was also discovered while driving, he arrived at the branch manager's house without danger.

\"Please Mr. Policeman go to the second floor, I'll go to the lobby.\" As soon as I opened the door, I saw the branch manager pointing to Takagi and Sato pointing to the stairs on the second floor, while he himself was walking towards the hall.

Conan changed into his shoes and walked slowly down the hall.

\"Aha...\" And as for Xiaobai, it was very indecent to yawn.

"Hmm...\" As they walked towards the hall, Conan and Xiaobai also looked around at something.When they came to the window, Conan looked at the hole that had opened next to the window lock and thought about something.

As for Xiaobai, well, just ignore him, because this guy is probably purely deliberate, only to see him look at the window and then yawn indecently.

\"Didn't you sleep well?\" Finally, Conan, who couldn't look at it, looked at Xiaobai and asked.

\"I could have continued to sleep, but I didn't feel like I slept well after being woken up.\" Bai replied to Conan.

\"Wow...\" Just as Conan was about to say something to Xiaobai, the voice of the store manager came from the room.

\"What happened.\" At the moment when the cry rang out, Takagi and Sato on the second floor asked as they ran in the direction of the call.

\"Do you have any clue?\" After Conan and the others entered the room, they looked at the branch manager's wife who was lying in a pool of blood, and at the same time looked at the branch manager who was crying, Conan asked Xiaobai beside him.

\"Sometimes being too contrived will only make you look more suspicious.\" Xiaobai did not answer Conan's question directly, but said something that was not in the right mouth.

"It's too contrived...\" Conan looked at the branch manager and thought about something.

"The murder was Mrs. Masuo Kadai, 42 years old, and the murder weapon was the knife that was inserted into Mrs. Kadai's back.\" After some time, the Identification Division and the Search Division arrived, and after cordoning off the surrounding area, Sato also began to do his duty.

"No signs of struggle were found, and it appears to have been fatally stabbed.\" A police officer was recording the scene.

"I think the time of the crime was probably when the victim screamed.\" Sato said, looking at Mrs. Kadai's body.

\"Sato Criminal, did you hear the screams of the victim?\" A police officer asked in surprise when he heard Sato's answer.

"The victim's husband happened to call here from the Metropolitan Police Department because I accidentally turned on the megaphone.\" Takagi explained to the officer.

"That's when I heard my wife's screaming voice on the phone.\" The branch manager replied with his head down.

"Aha...\" Xiaobai yawned boredly on the side.

\"I don't know when they'll be over.\" Xiaobai listened to the police officer ask questions, and then watched Conan give the police officer a hint, just thinking about going back to his nest and getting a good night's sleep.

"This is no ordinary theft.\" A voice came from the doorway as he sat in a chair and fell asleep listening to the policeman's investigation.

\"The prisoner's target was this person from the beginning, I think so.\" Looking towards the door, a man in a sky blue suit, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and a confident smile on his face, looked at Sato and said.

\"White... Officer Shiratori added.\" Takagi said as he looked at the other party in a daze.

"I'm no longer a police officer, I've been promoted to a police officer today." said the man known as Officer Shiratori.

\"It's a nice character.\" Xiaobai looked at Officer Shiratori with an interested expression on his face.

\"So, how do you think it's not a murder caused by theft?\" After a while Sato teased Shiratori, Sato asked Shiratori what he thought.

"If you hear the victim on the phone, usually the thief will not attack the person who is talking on the phone, and if he was caught screaming, the thief would have escaped.\" Shiratori explained to Sato.

\"Nice logic...\" Listening to Shiratori's answer, Xiaobai said in his heart.

"I think the prisoner must have been in this room at the time, and while the victim was talking to you, the prisoner killed the victim on the phone because he didn't want the victim to continue talking to the police.\" Shiratori continued his thoughts.

\"Wait, if that's the case...\" Sato seemed to think of something.

"Yes, I think the prisoner must have been the bandit of the duo.\The victim was held at gunpoint by the prisoner during that incident, so he was very close to one of the robbers, I think the prisoner thought he was recognized, and then killed in order to kill him.\"The victim seemed to be struggling desperately when he was taken hostage.\" Shiratori thought as he said what he heard about the crime.

"Well, because it was too difficult to deal with, I changed Mrs. Twilight, who happened to go to the bank, as a second hostage.\" Takagi replied to Shiratori.

\"By the way, my wife talked about foreigners last night.\" The branch manager seemed to think of something, and said to Shiratori.

\"Yes, that's it, I think Madame just wants to tell us about the characteristics of the prisoner.Takagi, contact the Special Search Headquarters.One of the prisoners should be a foreigner.\" Shiratori said with a look on his face, and then ordered Takagi to act.

\"I thought there would be a good ending, but I didn't expect to return to the original point.Even if the other prisoner is really a foreigner.However, there are not a thousand foreigners who come to Japan to travel or live in Japan, but there are eight hundred, and I really don't know where he got his confidence...\" Xiaobai shook his head and lowered his opinion of Shiratori.

\"Don't you think it's strange?\" Conan's voice rang out as Takagi was about to run out.

"You see, the back of the sports bike is only 2 meters, and there is no door in the back, why would the prisoner attack the lady who is riding the sports bike from behind?" Conan asked.

"It's this kid again," Shiratori said as if he knew Conan.

\"Do you know him?\" Sato asked.

"Well, the little detective who has been following Mr. Maori.\" Shiratori said, holding Conan up.

\"I didn't think you're so famous, little brother.\" Sato said, looking at Conan.

\"I don't know when I'm going to sleep like this.\" Xiaobai looked at the farce-like scene, thinking as he walked towards the bookshelf behind the sports car.
