"Tell me, what exactly have I done?"

"You know in your own heart that there is no room for quibbles."

I don't know if he was impressed by Qinghai Chuantang's ability, or if he trusted her too much. If you know that this is a wonderful misunderstanding, I don't know if you will know the law and break the law, in order to vent your anger.

"Officer Sichuan West, you saw the portrait drawn by Sister Xiaotang, so you came to look for the person on the portrait, right?"

Kawanishi Mu Ji stared at him and looked up and down, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the little ghost they often mention, who follows Maori, and we've met a few times before." If there is anything you can say, you can say it directly. ”

He seems to be a guy who likes to get straight to the point.

Sister Xiaotang said that the portrait has added too much subjective assumption, so if you want to find someone based on the portrait, you will miss the real suspect. If the success is 100%, then she can guarantee at most that the portrait is 10% correct. So, the difference between a portrait and a real person is too great, because if you catch the wrong person like this, it's not worth it. ”

As he spoke, Conan showed the email interface to the other party, convincing him that he was not making up these words.

"I'm sorry, I was too reckless."

Kawanishi Muqi bowed deeply to him, "My sister goes to elementary school nearby, there are many alleys there, and she even met a man in a trench coat before. I was afraid that she would encounter this kind of thing again, so I was a little anxious. ”

As soon as a case involves a family member, he becomes less calm and rational. This is precisely the most fatal point, like the "suicide case" twelve years ago.

Conan received another email, this time with two portraits.

The man above looks young and handsome, and his hairstyle is very similar to Amuro's, only more curly and fluffy. The other portrait shows the same person, just wearing a pair of glasses, which makes people a little unaccustomed and not easy to associate with a person.

In terms of looks alone, it's hard to associate him with the term "trench coat man". After all, due to some related works, a stereotype appears, and people's first thought is always that the other party should be sloppy or obscene.

"Is there a portrait of another person?"

"Officer Chuanxi, is there actually more than one man in a trench coat?"

"Well...... this"

Kawanishi Kiji handed the notebook to Conan, "It's a portrait of another person in the notebook, wearing a pair of glasses." ”

However, when Conan opened it to view, it was a blank slate.

There is no portrait, and there is no handwriting from before her.

"It's ...... Disappear the pen! ”

If you bake it carefully with a lighter, you can restore the handwriting. Or if you use some of the pen, there will be traces, just rub it out with a lead strip.

Stop him!

Conan remembered the email he had sent him directly. It turns out that the real intention is not to let himself stop the police officer in western Sichuan, but to delay the time and wait until the handwriting disappears, so that he can achieve "death without proof".

"The image is guaranteed to be accurate at up to 35%, so don't rely too much on it."

This was the one in the email that Conan didn't find because it was written in the portrait. It's easy to overlook it if you don't zoom in, because it's a bit less conspicuous.

This is called "analog portraiting". If the portrait is more than 50% similar to the suspect, it can be used to touch and post it as a useful clue.

And 35%, at most, is a reference, and maybe not even a reference. If you really arrest people according to this standard, it is likely that there will be cases of false arrests, just like before.

Nothing is a panacea, whether it's a detective or a profiler.

The next day, Twilight Thirteen held a meeting with a few people.

Before entering the conference room, Twilight Thirteen called Kawanishi Muji aside alone and said earnestly, "I know that the case of twelve years has become a knot for you. But I hope you remember that you are now a criminal police officer, and being too emotional will affect your judgment. Yesterday's incident, if it weren't for the person concerned not caring about it, if it was someone else, maybe he would have complained about you. It's finally back here, so don't make similar mistakes again. ”

With that, Twilight Thirteen patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Let's go, let's go in."

The time limit was five days, and now there are four days left.

"Usually exhibitionist areas are 'school alleys, on the streets, in parks, near bus stops'. But this time, we like to haunt nearby parking lots, or places with developed roads. In other words, it is likely that the other party moved by car, and it is more likely that they will live on Dongcheng Street and Xicheng Street. ”

Both Dongcheng Street and Xicheng Street are quite affluent places.

Perhaps some people will have the prejudice that exhibitionists live in poor areas. But surprisingly, among exhibitionism, there are very many people in professional positions, which are often referred to as "elite professions".

"The current investigation is insufficient, so please work harder. However, there is some information that can be used as a reference. The height is above 180, the figure is moderate, the appearance is not ordinary, sometimes he wears glasses, and his temperament may be slightly different. The other party is a very young man, maybe even a student, but at least a college student. ”

"I'm sure everyone knows very well what happened before."

None of them spoke, but they all had serious expressions.

Twilight Thirteen nodded in satisfaction, "So I hope you can work harder to prevent an unfortunate accident." In addition, the other party always disappears suddenly in the alley, it may be a person who is very familiar with the path of the alley, or the residents there, can start from this range to investigate. ”

"Now, let's get moving."

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

Exhibitionists sometimes wear hats and sometimes glasses...... But without exception, he will always wear something, trying to hide his true appearance, and even put on a wig or something. This shows that he is at least not a bold person, and he is still a little apprehensive in his heart.

Of course, there is also the case of wanting to confuse the police.

"I was walking down the alley when I suddenly saw a man in a trench coat in front of me. The man in the trench coat was dressed all over the place, and it was so late at the time, I was so scared, so I ran away. The alley here was like a maze, and I ran a long distance, thinking that I had finally gotten rid of him, so I stopped to breathe. ”

Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared behind me, then reached out to cover my mouth and nose, and dragged me into a dark alley. I was really scared and struggled non-stop. Fortunately, a patrol officer passed by at this time and scared him away, otherwise...... The consequences are truly unimaginable. ”

Even now, I still feel frightened, and I can't help but be afraid for a while.

After leaving the alley, Kawanishi Kiki looked at Takagi, "Officer Takagi, did you find anything?" ”

"This ......" Takagi scratched his head a little embarrassed, "The other party is very familiar with the shortcuts to the alley, and may come here often, or be a resident here." ”

"When we were in a meeting, the Dusk Police Department said it."

Kawanishi Muji's expression was a little cold, and his tone was a little suspicious: "Officer Takagi, when I was in the previous case, didn't I see that you were very powerful?" Looking at it now, the gap is really a bit huge, as if someone controlled you and said those words. ”

Takagi sneered, "Maybe that's what 'inspiration' is called." Mr. Mori sometimes helps solve crimes, and at the beginning, he starts by saying some reasoning that seems reasonable, but is full of loopholes, and when inspiration comes, he becomes a 'sleeping Kogoro', and uses meticulous reasoning to identify the real murderer, and even the modus operandi can be re-demonstrated, just like the murderer himself. ”

At the mention of "Maori Kogoro", Takagi's face was filled with a little more adoration and respect.

His big name, Kawanishi Muqi, naturally heard of it, but he didn't like him a little. This is true even for all those who claim to be detectives. It's like Shinichi Kudo, who was very popular before, and he was called the "savior of the Japanese police industry".

Could it be that the dignified Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has to rely on a 17-year-old high school student to solve the case, otherwise it will be helpless?

Absurd.

A few nights of sleepless work have brought some long-standing unresolved incidents to a successful conclusion, just to be able to get back here sooner. In addition to the case from 12 years ago, it is also necessary to let those people know that the Metropolitan Police Department can solve the case very well even if there are no detectives present.

"Before, senior? Predecessor? ”

Seeing that the other party was a little distracted, Takagi couldn't help but call out to the other party, wanting to pull him back on track.

"Just call me by name. Seniors or something, I feel too old. ”

Although he is in his thirties, he still has a vibrant, twenty-year-old heart.

Kawanishi Kiki, who finally came back to his senses, looked at Takagi, "Officer Takagi, do you know what to do next?" ”

"Door-to-door inquiry?"

Takagi hesitated slightly.

"It's a good idea, but with so many families, none of us are familiar with this place, what if we get lost? What do you look at when you get lost? ”

"Maps?"

Kawanishi Muji nodded, "It seems that you are also worthy of the high hopes placed on you by the Twilight Police Department." ”

As soon as Takagi heard this, something in his heart was touched, and the whole person instantly felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, very excited and excited.

"Senior in western Sichuan, then let's hurry back and get the alley map!"

But before he could finish speaking, Kawanishi Muji had already taken out a map from his arms, as if he had already prepared it.

In general, Kawanishi Muji is actually an excellent criminal policeman.

"I asked the patrolman, and he said that after that, the other person fled in this direction and then suddenly disappeared."

As he spoke, he drew the route with his pen so that Takagi could see it more intuitively.

It was the end of an alley, and there were three families here.
