"Do you suspect that the same prisoner did it?" Xiaolan tugged at the corner of Shinichi's clothes, a little uneasy.

Kudo Shinichi didn't reply to her words positively, but he couldn't be wrong.

The case of the gem was unsuccessful, and suddenly another case appeared. The methods and thinking of the criminals in both cases are so cautious that it is very likely that they are related.

Maybe Officer Matsuda found something when he was investigating the case, and maybe he was killed and killed.

His face turned extremely bad.

is also a police officer in charge of a case, but Officer Sato is unharmed. This shows that Officer Matsuda Jinpei has not yet told the prisoner about it, and only he knows the details of the prisoner.

The only person who can know so clearly that the police have a suspicion is the only one from the Metropolitan Police Department......

He suddenly remembered Hoshino Satsuki.

When the video of her confronting the prisoner was shown on NHK TV on New Year's Day, Shinichi thought that she probably knew the prisoner.

If she found out that Matsuda Jinpei was beginning to suspect her and asked one of the two robbers to kill him, then everything would have been explained.

"That, Officer Matsumoto. May I ask if the female police officer who confronted those two gem robbers before is called Hoshino Satsuki? ”

Matsumoto cracked his mouth, smiling rather than smiling. "You really know it, boy, that female police officer is a graduate of the Kyoto Police Academy, the best newcomer this year. It's a pity that they were outnumbered......"

Shinichi's expression became more and more terrifying. "So, did you ever doubt her? After all, she had a lot of doubts in that video. ”

"Shinichi, what are you talking about? Isn't it talking about Officer Matsuda Jinpei right now? Xiaolan was puzzled.

Matsumoto Kiyocho saw his thoughts and closed his eyes slightly. "Do you suspect that this policewoman killed Matsuda? However, she had an alibi. At the time of the incident, she was at the Metropolitan Police Department with other officers of the Search Division. Besides, she's the daughter of my idol Sayuri Hoshino. ”

I see... No wonder his daughter is called Sayuri Matsumoto. The corners of Shinichi's mouth twitched and he was dumbfounded.

He knew that no matter how clear his reasoning was, it was useless, because he hadn't been to the scene of the crime at all. And even if you read it, there is no direct evidence to prove that Hoshino Satsuki and the prisoner are in a gang.

He pursed my lips, sullen.

Shinichi and Ran had been delayed for a few hours at Matsumoto's house. Seeing that the time was almost up, he began to issue an eviction order.

"Alright, the detective game is over, boy. I shouldn't have talked to you so much, but I'll talk to you when I see that you've come to visit. The rest of the matter will be left to our police, so let's go home. ”

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi tugged at his collar and took a long breath.

I'm really by these stupid cops.

"Let's go, Lan."

As polite, he bent down slightly before leaving. But in any case, check it again for yourself.

At night, the study of the Kudo Mansion is lit up with a faint light.

In the room created by the sea of books, Shinichi holds a laptop and keeps tapping on the keyboard. Trying to find a clue about Satsuki Hoshino.

He remembered Matsumoto Kiyocho saying that she was a graduate of the Kyoto Police Academy.

"Kyoto...... Police officer...... College, Fresh ...... Group photo of graduates. He typed out these words to himself and searched the globe.

In the next second, the group photo of the graduates presented in front of him made the waves in his heart more and more turbulent. He began to suspect that his previous reasoning had been wrong.

This graduation photo does have the appearance and name of Hoshino Satsuki.

"Impossible......" he muttered.

Actually, Kudo Shinichi couldn't have imagined it at all. After Matsuda Jinpei expressed his suspicion of Hoshino Satsuki, the killer who was secretly tracking him informed the organization of the incident, and then Miyano Shiho and other people in the laboratory synthesized the portrait and stole the information originally recorded on the Internet.

"How so?"
