"One Takasugi Foundation is not enough, and now there is another Suzuki Foundation, is this prisoner crazy?"

"Maybe he's also a member of the drug group, and he wants to take revenge on society?"

Rice Flower Central Hospital, in the President's Conference Room.

After seeing Matsumoto Kiyocho take Twilight Thirteen out to talk to the people of the Suzuki Foundation, the men and women in front of the board whispered whispers, while Conan, who was still looking up at the various information on the board, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard the words:

What prisoner wants to take revenge on society is so revenge......

"Go Conan, don't bother the police here, I'll take you to school."

"Okay ~ Uncle Maori."

After determining the possible location of the last three bombs, the investigation that followed was extremely tedious and time-consuming, which was not something that Mori Kogoro could do, so he walked decisively.

After nodding goodbye to Katsumi Uehara and Miwako Sato, Kogoro Mori left the conference room with Conan, who jumped off his chair.

Judging from Takasugi's confession, he didn't know that the secret of his desire to poison his fiancée on the wedding day was known, and everything was still going according to plan.

"In other words, if what he said is true, it means that Miyazawa Shin's death in a car accident is most likely arranged by this mysterious murderer."

Looking at the back of the two people leaving, thinking of the client of Maori Kogoro, Miwako Sato turned her head sideways and looked at the death message of Miyazawa Shin who was hanging alone on the whiteboard, and frowned slightly.

So far, among the information they found in the Miyazawa Shin car accident case, the only thing that can be linked to the follow-up serial murder case is the fish tank-

The seven victims of the serial killings were found in abandoned buildings in the suburbs when they were each immersed in a blood-soaked fish tank that happened to be one of the soft outfits list signed by Nobu Miyazawa.

In other words, judging from the existing clues, strictly speaking, the death of Shin Miyazawa is actually the beginning of this serial murder case.

"Uehara, do you think it is possible that the murderer who killed Nobu Miyazawa and the murderer who committed this series of crimes later...... Aren't they the same person? ”

After thinking for a moment, Miwako Sato turned her head to look at her partner's side face, and said uncertainly, "What if, I mean what if."

"What if the secret that Miyazawa discovered a month ago was not that Toshihiko Takasugi was going to poison Sayuri on his wedding day, but that someone was gathering people to drink drugs and drink?"

The more she talked, the more fluent Miwako Sato became, picked up a black marker and drew seven lines under the words "Miyazawa Shin" on the whiteboard, connecting them to the seven deceased in the serial murder case: "According to the autopsy results, all seven of them are addicts and are fully qualified to kill."

So when they found out that Miyazawa Shin had discovered this secret, these seven people banded together to create an accident that killed Miyazawa Shin in order not to expose this fact, which was the first murder.

After that, a person who believes that Miyazawa's car accident was not caused by an accident finds out the truth. So he killed these seven murderers one by one, and sank them in the last batch of items that Miyazawa Shin bought before his death, so as to comfort his spirit in the sky and complete revenge? ”

The light in her eyes became brighter and brighter as she expanded her thoughts, and Miwako Sato, who felt as if she had touched that layer of truth, turned her head to look at her partner, and there was a rare look of expectation in her tone: "Do you think this is possible?" ”

“…… If you say that, I haven't noticed that even when I was focused on the crime notice. Katsumi Uehara's expression moved, and he leaned against the conference table and fell into deep thought.

After Sayuri Matsumoto was kidnapped, he devoted himself to the study of the teaser letter, and did not have the time or energy to think about it.

"If you follow your train of thought......"

Biting his lips, which were already dry to the point of peeling, Katsumi Uehara subconsciously turned the marker in his hand: "First of all, Miyazawa Shin was very busy for a period of time before his death, running back and forth between home and company every day, or simply living directly in the company.

In other words, the place where this secret was discovered was either a home or a company. Considering that he has only his wife at home, it should be a company. ”

Katsumi Uehara opened the cap of his pen, and the pitch-black handwriting flew on the whiteboard in front of him—"Takasugi".

"The fifth deceased was a worker at Takasugi Construction."

Miwako Sato became more and more determined to draw a line in the order of the dead in the serial murder case, connecting it with the name of the company that Katsumi Uehara had just written, and looked up at him: "Nobu Miyazawa may have discovered his abnormality and saw the scene where they gathered to take drugs, which led to the murder." ”

"So, one day a month ago, they gathered together to plan a perfect accident and send Miyazawa Shin back to the West." Following Miwako Sato's words, Katsumi Uehara's speech began to speed up in the moment after the pause.

"It's just that what they didn't expect was that although the police had been tricked into closing the case by accident in a car accident, there was one person who didn't believe it was an accident and never gave up the investigation."

Miwako Sato, who took over the man's words, drew a question mark on the blackboard to represent the prisoner, and stretched seven lines above the question mark to connect to the [NEXT Serial Murder Case]: "In the end, he found out the truth and began to take revenge, leaving a letter of [NTXT] and a corpse a day to mock the police who were synonymous with incompetence in his eyes." ”

But to the prisoner's surprise, his revenge plan was soon discovered by a policeman named Renzaburo Shiratori.

"So he used the identity of the seventh deceased who was killed by himself in the serial murder case to plant a bomb in a restaurant and call to lure Shiratori Renzaburo to the restaurant."

Following Miwako Sato's movements, Katsumi Uehara also wrote the names of Shiratori Renzaburo and the restaurant on the board, and drew two lines below them, connecting them to the question mark drawn by the woman representing the prisoner.

"The prisoner didn't know exactly how much information the police had about him, so he decided to attract attention by kidnapping Sayuri Matsumoto and leaving a notice letter to divert the attention of the police, intending to portray himself as—"

Miwako Sato, who became more and more excited, suddenly got stuck, and her brows furrowed for a moment: "No, if that's the case, why did he buy a bomb?" The people who were going to be killed were all killed, and there was no reason to buy bombs again. ”

"But what if they don't kill them all?"

As if thinking of something, Katsumi Uehara directly picked up a pen and wrote the words "Rice Flower Central Hospital" on the white board: "What if there were not only seven people in the drug abuse party that Miyazawa Shin bumped into at the beginning, but eight, nine or even more? ”

Miwako Sato, who heard this, suddenly lit up: "That's why there are so many bombs in the Rice Flower Central Hospital." Because the prisoner only found the previous seven people, and the rest he only knew that it was from the Rice Flower Central Hospital, but he didn't know who it was! ”

"Or rather, he only knew which departments those people worked in at the Rice Flower Central Hospital, so from the very beginning he decided to use a bomb to kill them all at once."

Katsumi Uehara, who wrote an Arabic number 8 under the words "Rice Flower Central Hospital", turned his head and looked at Miwako Sato: "That's why the murderer in the restaurant only used 1 bomb, but the murderer in the hospital used 8 bombs, because the people he wanted to kill were scattered in these eight departments." ”

He also wanted to take revenge on the police, so after blowing up Shiratori, he began to use the notice letter to inform the location of the bomb, and Sayuri Matsumoto was just thrown by her to distract the police.

He wanted to see that the police were powerless, that the police who were trying to save people were played around by themselves without knowing it, and that he even wanted to see that the hospital exploded after all the efforts of the police, or that Sayuri Matsumoto still hadn't been saved.

"It's just that what he didn't expect was that you saw through the double meaning he hid in the teaser letter, and his two purposes were defeated."

Between the four eyes, Miwako Sato's pen fell on the blank space under the question mark, and the pen in Katsumi Uehara's hand also fell on the blank space under the words "Rice Flower Central Hospital"-

Neither of them looked at what the other had written, their eyes were always fixed on each other's faces, but their hands wrote a name at the same time, an identical name.

Yuka Miyazawa.

"It seems like we're really the best match." Katsumi Uehara tilted his head and raised his eyebrows.

Miwako Sato, who was looking at her, had a smile on the corner of her mouth, noncommittal: "But we don't have evidence yet, it's just speculation." ”

"The old rules, red and white."

"I'm okay with that."
