Sunday, July 20, Teraoka family garden.

Nearly one o'clock in the afternoon, when Katsutoshi Terooka and Mori were chatting happily, they received a mobile phone call, and the meaning of Katsutoshi Teruoka's words was to go somewhere alone to meet others.

Hanging up the phone, Katsutoshi Teraoka said, "I'm sorry, Mori. ”

Seeing Katsutoshi Teraoka's serious look, Maori couldn't help but ask, "Senior, is something wrong?"

Katsutoshi Terooka said: "The caller's name is Matsuyama, who is a cadre in a violent organization, and there was a murder near his yard last night, in a dark alley a few blocks near the restaurant where you drank last night. ”

Maori muttered to herself, "Is there such a thing in the morning paper?"

"The body was found in the morning," Teruoka said, "and it was too late for the morning report." ”

"I see. Maori said, and then asked, "What about you and Mr. Matsuyama, senior?"

Katsutoshi Terooka said, "Matsuyama is actually an informant I developed, and last night was the day we met, but he didn't come until the time, so I met you on the way to find him." ”

Maori asked, "Senior, do you suspect that he did this?"

"No, I thought he had been cleared by his organization, and it wasn't until I was notified this morning that I learned that he had been named as the prime suspect in this incident, and now I'm sure he's the murderer. Katsutoshi Teraoka said, "On the phone just now, his voice sounded panicked, and he said that he was going to smuggle to other countries. ”

"Stealing, smuggling. Maori was taken aback.

"I promised him before that as long as I could destroy the organization he belonged to, I would help him become a new person, and I also have some responsibility for him now. Katsutoshi Teraoka said, "Anyway, I'm going to see him now and persuade him to turn himself in." ”

Maori said: "Senior, what if you want to go there alone, if that person escapes, then the senior will be solely responsible for this matter." ”

"It's okay, only you know about it. Katsutoshi Terooka said, "If Matsuyama escapes, it will be considered that it never happened, and it will not be too late to intercept his ship at sea." Then he asked, "Maori, you're not going to take the initiative to make a report, are you?" and laughed, "I almost forgot, you're not a police officer anymore." ”

Maori smiled bitterly: "Senior, this is not good. ”

"I'm in the fourth lesson, and for the murders and the violent organizations, my responsibility lies with the latter. "If I lead a team to capture Matsuyama, then my reputation will be ruined, and all the informants will no longer trust me, and I will not be able to do this business anymore." ”

Maori said: "But this is too dangerous, the other party is a murderer, and you are not on duty, senior, and the pistol is ......"

Katsutoshi Terooka said, "Mori, have you forgotten that murderers are only members of violent organizations. Then he said, "Okay, don't persuade me, this risk must be taken, and besides, he will call me because he believes me." ”

"Then I'll go with you. "Otherwise, I'll contact the Twilight Police Department." ”

"What are you talking about!" Katsutoshi Terooka grabbed Mori by the collar.

Maori said again: "Senior, if you don't let me go." ”

"You guy. Katsutoshi Terooka let go of his hand, "But I'm the only one who can go see him, you know?"

Maori asked, "Where is it?"

Katsutoshi Terooka said, "It's at the warehouse at Shibaura Pier. ”

"Shibaura?" said Maori, "it's a demolition area now." ”

"There's no one to meet," Teruoka said, "you wait for me, I'll go get the jacket." ”

Mrs. Teraoka said, "I'll get the shirt for you." ”

"No, I don't. Katsutoshi Teraoka replied, and then said, "Don't worry, soon." With that, he entered the room.

Conan thought to himself, is it necessary to use this tone?

Nearly ten minutes later, Katsutoshi Terooka came out, "Sorry, I found the car keys, let's go." As he spoke, he walked to the front of the car, opened the door and sat down.

However, when Mr. Katsutoshi Teraoka stretched his legs, Conan noticed that Mr. Katsutoshi Teradoka seemed to have a holster on his calf.

It was a pistol, Conan was taken aback, so Mr. Oka didn't let Mrs. Terooka get the shirt in order to get the gun, and just as he was about to speak, Katsutoshi Teraoka had already started the car and left.

"Dad, he's fine," Lan said worriedly, "He's obviously drunk so much just now." ”

"Sister Lan, let's go too," Conan said, "You're worried about your uncle." ”

Mrs. Teraoka said, "I'll call a taxi." With that, he went back to his room and called, and soon after, a worried look came out.

Seeing this, Conan thought to himself, it seems that Mrs. Teraoka knew that Mr. Teraoka had a pistol, and she went to confirm it just now, but found that the gun was not there.

Soon after, a taxi came and took Ran, Conan, and Mrs. Teraoka. ……

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, outside a warehouse in Shibaura.

Maori stood beside the car, smoking anxiously, when he suddenly noticed a taxi coming, and his heart lifted up, and then he found that it was Mrs. Teraoka, Ran, and Conan who came down from above, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but scold: "Lan, what are you doing here." ”

Lan said, "I'm sorry, Dad, but I'm really worried, very worried." ”

Conan asked, "Uncle, where's Mr. Teraoka?"

"In the open space around the corner," said Maori, "the senior was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he asked me to wait here and go alone." ”

Conan said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Maori said, "What are you talking about, you will be scolded by your seniors for such words." ”

At this moment, a loud "bang!" was heard.

"It's ......," Maori was taken aback.

"It's gunshots. Conan affirmed.

"The senior didn't have a gun at all. Maori said, "That's the other party." Then he found Conan rushing over, and immediately followed, and Ran and Mrs. Teraoka also hurriedly followed.

At the scene, Katsutoshi Teraoka stood motionless with his back to the entrance and exit, and on the ground more than a meter in front of him, a man fell there with a pistol in his hand, and his left chest was already red with blood. There was also a backpack that fell on the ground not far away.

Mori stepped forward to check on the man's condition and found that he was dead, and then asked Katsutoshi Terooka, "Senior?"

"Mori, call the Twilight Police Department. Katsutoshi Terooka said, "Now it's his job." ”……

Ten minutes later, the Twilight Police Department led the team to arrive, and after asking the subordinates to start the investigation, he took out the police manual and asked Terooka Katsutoshi, "Hello, Teraoka Police Department, what is going on?"

"Hello, Dusk Police Department. Katsutoshi Terooka said, "When I tried to grab the gun, I accidentally misfired. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Teraoka Police Department, may I ask you about Mr. Matsuyama, you should have been notified, why did you come to see him alone, what is your relationship with him, and why did he look for you at this time?"

Katsutoshi Teraoka said, "Matsuyama is my informant, and I promised to help him become a new person, and now I want him to turn himself in." He had sold me information before, maybe he wanted to break the news before leaving, so he ran away for a sum of money, so he came to me. As he spoke, he motioned to the Twilight Police Department to look at the backpack on the ground.

The Twilight Police Department took a look at it and found some changes of clothes and a large amount of cash, and then asked, "Teraoka Police Department, how much did you give him?"

"I'm not prepared to give Matsuyama money at all. Katsutoshi Teraoka said, "I thought that if he didn't listen, I would catch him." It's just that he became excited when he heard that he had no money, so I persuaded him to turn himself in, and at the same time took the opportunity to step forward, but I didn't expect to end up in such a situation. ”

"It was an accident, Dusk Police. "It was an unfortunate accident. ”

No, it wasn't an accident, Conan thought to himself, it was a murder, and the murderer must have been Mr. Teraoka, but there was no evidence yet.

"By the way," the Twilight Police Department asked, "Teraoka Police Department, how much do you know about Mr. Matsuyama's murder last night?"

Katsutoshi Terooka said: "It's not very clear, he just said that he was a guest who went to gamble. ”

The Twilight Police Department said, "Okay, Teraoka Police Department, we will talk about other matters after the investigation, please don't leave Tokyo during this time." As he spoke, he closed the police manual.

Katsutoshi Teraoka said: "I understand, I should be temporarily suspended, I will stay at home and wait for news." ”……

In the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

During the break, Conan took today's evening newspaper and chatted with Yamazaki, which published the story of Mr. Katsutoshi Terooka and Mr. Matsuyama. Today, the detective agency is closed, and of course Yamazaki is also resting at home.

"I believe what you say is true, but the judge will not take your words. Yamazaki said, "A police department is very convincing. ”

Conan sighed: "It seems that you haven't thought of a way, now you can only wait and see what the police say." ”……

Monday, July 21, Mimiko Miyamoto's office.

Mimiko Miyamoto, who was reading the materials, received a notice from the front desk secretary on the 63rd floor that Miss Midaiko and Mr. Yamazaki came over with their school bags.

After a few moments, Miyamoto Miko heard footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door, "Mom, it's me, and my brother." ”

"Come in. Miyamoto Miko laughed.

After Midaiko and Yamazaki pushed the door in and said hello, Midaiko said, "Mom, Gomera ......"

"I'm not a Goder. Mimiko Miyamoto smiled and asked, "Why, did you hear about it from your classmates?"

"Yes. Yamazaki smiled, "After that, I talked about the acquisition, but Midaiko still wanted to ask." ”……
