Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's Hard to Remember Who the Murderer Is
The background of the reunion with the Black Clothes Organization is at the memorial service of a famous director Akiji Sasumaki, the famous Kabito Hotel, and the death of Shigehiko Toguchi, an official who is currently preparing to be investigated.
Of course, Matsuda will not remember these details, but he clearly knows that the murderer is Kenzo Higayama, the owner of the automobile company, and the code name in the organization is Pisco.
How do you find evidence that the murderer is him? Matsuda thought this, and the crowd of people shouting around him had already begun to surge out the door.
"What should I do? Twilight was already sweating on her forehead. In order to wait for Matsuda to come to the scene, he has been delaying for a long time. These people are said to be celebrities in the upper class, and a large group of them can completely lead the direction of public opinion: "This should be an accident, right?"
"Ah, they can let it out, but they can't be so messy. Matsuda looked around, and the eyes of the so-called superior people were fixed on him: "You must accept a simple investigation, register your name, identity and address, and then simply search your body for any suspicious items." ”
"Hey, what do you mean, do you treat us like prisoners?" said a man next to him, dissatisfied.
"It doesn't mean that, it's just a routine investigation. Matsuda smiled and said, "Please cooperate with our work." ”
"Who are you?" Matsuda's smiling face didn't make them take it for granted.
"That's right, why should we be investigated like prisoners? "We're going to get out now. A group of people began to babble.
"Quiet, quiet!" Matsuda clapped his hands and raised his voice: "Please keep quiet! After all, there is a death now, and it is our responsibility to investigate the cause of death, please don't embarrass us." Matsuda said the back, his voice already cold.
"Ahem, this is the head of the inspection department of Matsuda Jinpei, who is our search class, and he is temporarily in charge of investigating this incident. Twilight also came out in solidarity with Matsuda: "He's now searching for a lesson on our behalf." ”
Matsuda Jinhei, the famous and troublemaker, glanced at each other, looked at Matsuda's gloomy face, and fell silent.
"Now, please register them one by one. Matsuda pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Was anyone nearby at the time?"
Of course, there will be people nearby, and if Pisco is not nearby, how can he shoot so accurately without alarming the people nearby.
"Yes. Twilight nodded to a few people nearby, "University professor Yoshiharu Taru, chairman of the automobile company Kenzo Kashiyama, and Yasuo Misaka, the owner of the professional baseball team, and, uh, who else?"
"The police department, and the American actor Chrissy Wynyard. Takagi interjected, "Naoya Tarumi, a famous music producer, and Minoru Nanjo, a popular writer, are now famous. ”
Ha, it's really a dividing line between the old and the new. Matsuda looked at the six people, and Twilight remembered that they were all influential old men, and Takagi was talking about trend-setting rookies.
"Yes, can you tell them to wait?" Matsuda said, pretending not to care, "I'll have a few questions later." ”
Chrissy Wynyard? Matsuda didn't go out of his way to see her, and there will be a lot of time to get in touch with her slowly in the future, so it's not good to be alert now.
The faces of the six people who were left behind by Matsuda's name were not very good, after all, they were left alone by the police at the scene of the crime, and such a thing would have an impact on their reputation.
"Didn't you say it was an accident?" said the musician Tarumi directly to Twilight, "Twilight Police Department, you also thought so just now." ”
"Well, this, it's Officer Matsuda right now, so let's hear what he has to say. Twilight was questioned like this, and her heart began to feel weak. He knew what Matsuda was capable of, and what if he decided it was murder? He had said it was an accident in front of so many high-class people, and his reputation was ruined.
"Aren't you from the police department?" Nanjo said loudly, "You're in charge of this kind of thing." ”
Matsuda Jinhei? Chrissy or Belmode pretended not to speak Japanese, but her eyes scanned Kenzo Kashiyama several times. Will you be able to escape the eyes of this detective?
He hung his back slightly, squinted his eyes and didn't talk to others, just stood there. Let me see, what do you have to worry about Smirno.
Wearing white gloves and rummaging through the chains on the chandelier a few times. Did you fly somewhere else? Matsuda was checking when he saw Conan and Xiao Ai in the crowd from the left front.
With their backs to Mt. Tsuyama and Belmode, they stretched out their fingers and shook them a few times around their mouths, telling Conan not to come over now. Then Matsuda looked up at the chain in the middle of the hall and said to Takagi next to him, "Move a table and put it in the middle, and I'll see what is going on above." ”
Takagi was puzzled, but he did so, and called a few people to set the table under the chandelier. There would be no problem with that, would it? Looking at the bloodstains under the table, Takagi could only smile bitterly. It shouldn't destroy the scene, right?
Matsuda climbed onto the table, tried the height, but still felt that it was not enough, and moved a chair to stand on it, and this time it was almost enough. It took a tiptoe to remove the remaining pieces of the iron ring from the chain that connected the chandelier.
After looking at it carefully, there was nothing out of the ordinary, and he held it in his hand again to prevent the light from shining on it. Sure enough, it was coated with fluorescent, and Matsuda jumped off the table with satisfaction.
And those who were waiting for registration and inspection or staying to watch the excitement were pointing at Matsuda and whispering.
"Police, this hall needs to be searched carefully. Matsuda walked over to Twilight and whispered.
"Search, search for what?" said Twilight strangely, "Is there anything else hidden here?"
"Of course. Matsuda handed him the fragments in his hand: "This is man-made sabotage, it should have been shot from a pistol." ”
"Pistol?" Twilight said in surprise, "How is that possible? ”
"I think I had a muffler, and it was dark at the time, as long as I blocked out the fire from the pistol. Matsuda attached to Twilight's ear, "At present, we are trying to find a pistol and a muffler, and besides, among these six people, except for Yoshiji Taru, who was abrased by the chandelier, they all have to test the gunsmoke reaction." But the action should be light, and there is a good chance that the pistol is still on the murderer. ”
"I see. Twilight nodded, "I'll make them careful." ”
"The search can be done now, but the smoke reaction can only be tested when the crowd has been evacuated. Matsuda also did not forget to warn Twilight to pay attention to the evacuation of the crowd.
But just as Matsuda was talking, there was an argument outside the door. Such a big event is of course a big event for those reporters that deserves a lot of special attention, so they flocked to the door, and when a few people who had been examined came out, they surrounded them.
One or two people were surrounded by reporters and were powerless to resist, so they could only let them take pictures and ask questions. But when it comes to it, these people, who are surrounded by three layers of reporters, don't want to answer these questions. After all, it's a dead person, and it's hard to say anything now.
But when more and more people came out, of course I didn't want to be blocked here by reporters. They want to go out and leave, and the reporters want news and break the news, so the conflict arises.
On the one hand, there are reporters, and on the other hand, celebrities, it is inevitable that there will be physical conflicts when they are crowded around, and Twilight has to come out to maintain order, so that a large number of police forces have been taken out.
And Matsuda can't do anything at this time. After all, there are so many people in the entire hall, and it would not be good to injure the people in them because of his actions.
In any case, the job of the police is to protect people's lives and property from threats. In the process of arresting criminals, it is unreasonable to let people who should be protected be harmed by criminals, right?
Anyway, the prisoner has already been locked, so it doesn't matter if it's late for a while, and the important thing is not to give the criminal a second chance to commit the crime.
Matsuda has been keeping an eye on Kenzo Kashiyama, and it is very easy to subdue him, even if this old man has good marksmanship, but within five steps Matsuda is sure that he will not be able to fire a single shot.
It's easy to do, but what about Belmode? She would never let the mountains fall into the hands of the police. This is also the purpose of Qin specially inviting this great god from the United States to assist and monitor the mountain.
Although he kept a close eye on him, Matsuda was still very experienced in keeping an eye on the six people at the same time, making him feel that he was spying on him. But at the same time, he noticed that he was also spying on the other five people.
"Hmph, it looks like they're really treating us like prisoners. Of course, Yasuo Miyako also felt Matsuda's undisguised attention, and said to Tarumi next to him dissatisfied.
"There's no way, who let us get closest to Swallow Shigehiko at that time. Tarumi didn't care, and said sarcastically: "You're so nervous, it shouldn't be a good thing you did." ”
"It won't be me anyway. Yoshiji said on the side, "I almost made a companion with Swallow." ”
"Really?" Nanjo joined the conversation, "but it's also possible that you did it on purpose, and as the only one injured, you should be the first to be eliminated by the police." ”
Chrissy watched their argument with a smile and tried to make a beautiful vase with a communicative smile that she didn't know Japanese.
"Ahem, it's a dead person, at least you should maintain a little respect for the dead. Shan finally spoke: "There is no point in staying here with you. After saying that, he walked straight to the place where the registration and inspection were temporarily arranged.
"Hey, didn't you hear that policeman? The three bottles reminded when they saw the movements of the mountain.
"After all, I'm old, not as young as a young person, it's time to rest. Kashiyama said nonchalantly, "And my company is in Tokyo, so where can I go?" If you like to check it, let them check it. ”
