Chapter 219: Bar Follow-up
Today is Valentine's Day, and the streets are especially lively.
Idle couples, unscrupulously sprinkled dog food on the street.
Moriran, who had just returned to Tokyo from Izu and said goodbye to Sonoko Suzuki, took Conan on the train home, looking at the couples around him, looking a little lonely.
Conan pulled Xiaolan's clothes:
"Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy?"
Maolilan barely managed to squeeze out a smile:
"No, it's nothing."
She rubbed her eyes and took out a beautifully packaged piece of chocolate from her bag:
"I don't know where Shinichi is now, he's such a good person, someone else should give him chocolates, right?"
Conan was first pleasantly surprised by the chocolate that Maolilan had specially prepared for him, and then when he heard this, he hurriedly comforted:
"Brother Shinichi must be too busy, and he also wants to come back to accompany Sister Xiaolan as soon as possible."
Mao Lilan smiled and rubbed Conan's head with emotion:
"Thank you for comforting me, Conan."
Then skillfully, he made an excuse for Kudo Shinichi:
"I went so far away with the garden that even if Shinichi came back, he wouldn't find me.
"Maybe he's angry right now."
As she spoke, Xiaolan looked at the chocolate again and handed it to Conan:
"Conan, I'll give it to you."
Seeing Conan's surprised look, Xiaolan smiled:
"I think Shinichi won't be angry if I give it to you."
Conan took the chocolate, blushing, his eyes were round, and he looked at Xiaolan with emotion.
Xiaolan took out her mobile phone:
"When I'm home, I'll give Shinichi a call.
"Ah, by the way, I should call my dad first and ask if I need to go to the supermarket to buy groceries."
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone in public and prepared to make a call.
As soon as she said two words, Xiaolan said in surprise:
"What? Dad, you said you're still at the police station? What's going on again?"
Case?
Conan, who was moved, caught the key word, immediately threw the moving aside, and asked anxiously:
"Sister Xiaolan, has something happened?"
Maolilan said worriedly:
"Mr. Kurosawa's tavern, there was a murder, and someone threw smoke bombs and illegally owned a gun.
"Dad is helping the police investigate the case, and it seems that the Japanese public security people are also involved, so it is estimated that he will be busy until late."
Japanese police?
Conan thought of his parents, who were hostages in the Japanese police.
Could it be that this incident has something to do with the organization?
Conan said anxiously:
"Sister Xiaolan, let's go take a look, shall we?
"Maybe we can help Uncle Maori?"
Mao Lilan thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"Okay, but, Conan, you are not allowed to make trouble, if you do it there, the police uncle will arrest you!"
Conan nodded obediently, not taking Maoliran's intimidation seriously.
Touching my chin, I began to think about the situation related to the organization.
When they arrived at the police station, they realized why an ordinary murder case and gun case could be entangled for so long.
First of all, the guy who is suspected of being the murderer has not been found, and his identity does not seem to be ordinary.
Officer Musset's boss, Kiyocho Matsumoto, personally called to vouch for the suspect and asked the Japanese police to remove Shuichi Akai's arrest.
However, the person in charge of the Japanese public security disagreed, and was ready to take Kurosawa Liquor, the owner of Kurosawa Bar, and the guest Okiya Pleiades back for investigation on the charge of endangering the safety of the people.
However, because of Kurosawa's good skills and familiarity with Mori, he was invited by Shirakawa to serve as a bartender for the celebration banquet.
So, after knowing about it, although Shirakawa himself didn't
Yes, but a pretty good lawyer was sent.
The lawyer is serious and arrogant, and is very familiar with the relevant laws.
Not only did he keep Kurosawa, but he also helped several other bar guests involved as temporary lawyers, including Okiya.
As a result, the atmosphere froze all at once, at least in the absence of conclusive evidence that Okiya and Kurosawa were the murderers.
or before there is conclusive evidence of the purchase or sale of ammunition.
The police can't take people away.
After listening to the case, Conan thought thoughtfully:
"So, someone took advantage of the clash between the man in the knitted hat and the deceased, and the eyes of others were attracted, and they threw smoke bombs.
"None of you, then, saw clearly how the dead died?"
One of the subordinates, Xiao Twilight Wenping, said nervously:
"At that time, we were next to the minister, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable when he fell to the ground.
"But before we could lift the minister up, the smoke exploded."
Sister Minoru Kishiura added:
"Then suddenly there were gunshots, and we ran out with everyone."
Kence Hatsumura affirmed:
"I remember that Twilight was the quickest to come out, followed by me and Kishiura, then the store manager and this gentleman."
Okiya pushed his glasses and justified his justification:
"At that time, I was frightened by the sound of gunshots, and I didn't dare to run out directly, for fear of being injured by mistake.
"Later, I felt someone passing by, so I ran out.
"At that time, I accidentally spilled the wine, and I was cleaning up the wine on the table, and my hands were on the table, and someone should be able to prove it for me."
Conan looked thoughtfully at Wataru Takagi:
"Officer Takagi, was the deceased poisoned?"
Wataru Takagi nodded:
"Yes, we found a small spot of blood pricked by a needle from the position of the deceased, who was slapped on the shoulder by the man in the knitted hat.
"There, a toxic reaction was detected. Someone must have stabbed him with a poisonous needle to cause him to die."
Hiroya Kazami, the leader of the Japanese public security, hung up the phone and walked over, and said in a deep voice:
"Murder is the responsibility of your search department.
"But we found guns, bombs, and other items at the bar and in the residence of Mr. Okiya.
"We suspect that you are involved in the trafficking of dangerous goods, selling national security information and other crimes, and we need you to come with me.
"If there is no problem, we will give you a clean slate."
The lawyer of the Bai Chuan family pushed his glasses and said seriously:
"If there are guns and bombs, their fingerprints are not detected.
"Then I have reason to suspect that someone has framed him.
"Like, the three guys who ran away from the store.
"According to eyewitness testimony, the man in the knitted hat who was right in front of the store did not leave the front door after the gunshot.
"This kind of behavior is suspicious no matter how you look at it.
"It's not appropriate for the police to arbitrarily rule him out of suspicion, right?
"Of course, I'm just a lawyer, and I don't have the authority to stop you police from enforcing the law.
"However, about the fact that you let the murder suspect go unpunished, and searched this gentleman's house without permission.
"I think the media should be very interested."
The lawyer's expression was very polite, although he said that he couldn't be the master, his tone was very oppressive.
Obviously, I know that the prisoners of the public security are different, and if they are caught, whether there is evidence or not, they will not be able to get out in a short time.
So, ready to put pressure on other sides.
