The man who held the power of the Metropolitan Police Department's search lesson sat quietly in his chair motionless, his eyes closed and his lost breath all told everyone present a fact-

He died, physically dead.

"We didn't find any abnormalities in the section chief's hair or blood, and I'm afraid a detailed autopsy will be needed to determine the cause of his death."

The officers of the forensic division appeared in front of the officers of the first section led by Twilight Thirteen with an indigestible horror, and stubbornly stated the results of the examination, which were not found: "Judging from the situation of the corpses, there are no signs of struggle or struggle in this office. ”

"Who has been in and out of the section chief's office?" Twilight Thirteen put his hands behind his back, his face gloomy as water.

"There aren't many people, and they all focus on working hours during the day. After work in the evening, the section leader first went to the cafeteria for a meal, and then returned to his office, only a few phone calls with his subordinates, and did not meet anyone until the explosion......"

“……”

Twilight Thirteen's face became more and more ugly the more he listened.

This is the Metropolitan Police Department, and this office is the office of the head of the Investigation Division 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department.

But now, that mysterious criminal organization has completely trampled on the faces of all the police officers who searched for a lesson.

"The police department, everyone has run away, the interrogation room is empty, it should have taken advantage of the commotion caused by the explosion to escape, the police on duty at night are empty, and the spirit is easy to slack."

Miwako Sato, who came from the other side of the corridor at some point, glanced at the situation in the office and exchanged eyes with Katsumi Uehara, and stepped forward to whisper in Twilight Thirteen's ear.

"Sure enough, I knew."

Twilight Thirteen's face twitched, his hands under his cuffs clenched into fists for a moment, and he took several deep breaths before calming down, and turned his head to look at his right-hand man who was inspecting the scene of the eucalyptus: "Brother Uehara, I'll leave it to you and Sato here, I'm going to report the details to Matsumoto Administrator." ”

"Yes, Police."

Katsumi Uehara, who was squatting next to the section leader's corpse, couldn't help but raise his head in response when he heard this, and after watching Twilight Thirteen and his people leave in a hurry, he refocused his attention on the surroundings of the corpse in front of him.

Miwako Sato, who also put on gloves and started to help, walked over, looked down and saw the empty medicine bottle in the drawer, pursed her lips and whispered, "Uehara." ”

"Ah, I see. If nothing else, he must have committed suicide after swallowing the medicine in the bottle. Katsumi Uehara, who knew what his partner wanted to say, was still looking for something on the ground, and he didn't raise his head when he heard it.

"What are you looking for?"

"Shots, scuffles or struggles, it turns out that there is nothing." Katsumi Uehara, who was about to lift the office floor tiles one by one, slowly stood up, leaned one hand on the wide desk, stared at this sudden corpse, and felt some emotion in his heart.

aptx-4869。

When it comes to the untraced assassination of the distillery, and a medicine bottle, the first thing that comes to his mind is this poison known as a drug.

Except for a few Chosen Ones such as Kudo Shinichi, all the other people who took Distillery A medicine died without exception, and even autopsies could not detect the slightest abnormal death.

So, here's the problem.

It is known that the A drug is one of the secret drugs of the organization, but why does this soon-to-retire section chief Wada have it in his hands?

Or is it not a drug?

Katsumi Uehara, who was leaning one hand against the edge of the table and crossing his waist with one hand, kept looking at the corpse of Section Leader Wada Saburo, his eyes narrowed slightly, and various thoughts flashed alternately in his mind: "Where is the section chief's house?" What about his family? ”

"Takagi and Chiba were ordered to go to the section chief's house before you arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, and the results should be out soon." Miwako, who kept rummaging through the documents in the drawer, had a solemn face: "Uehara, are we being put together?" ”

"If nothing else, it should be."

Katsumi Uehara, who was playing with the empty medicine bottle and looking up at the simple decoration of the office, gave way to his colleagues in the forensic class a little, sighed and said, "Do you know what I'm thinking of now?" ”

Hearing this, Miwako Zuoto made a movement in her hand, and raised her eyes to look at him: "What?" ”

"Remember the mahjong that Gin mentioned?"

Under the stunned gaze of the woman, Katsumi Uehara picked up the black ballpoint pen in the pen holder, drew a mahjong logo on the white medicine bottle, and then placed it in the center of the desk-

"Now, he's playing the card in his hand that will allow him to win, right under your noses and mine."

The index finger of his right hand turned back and forth between the two, and Katsumi Uehara's tone could not hear sadness and joy: "The identity of a police officer has limitations, and Gin is very clear about this.

"Even if I catch him, as a police officer, I am not qualified to meet Gin in person, even if he is temporarily detained by us. And it just so happened that the big fish in the Metropolitan Police Department happened to be a high-ranking official. ”

Miwako Sato opened her mouth, and after a few words of wanting to speak, she interrupted: "I'm sorry Uehara, your previous instinct was right. ”

"It's just intuition, there is no evidence, and I am not firm in my own position." After taking a deep breath, he exhaled slowly, but Katsumi Uehara, who crossed his waist with one hand, was not lonely: "If you run, you will run, and next time you dare to come and catch it again." ”

“……”

Miwako Sato looked at everything in this office, patted her forehead and still felt a little unacceptable, muttering to herself: "I still don't understand, how dare they?" This is the Metropolitan Police Department, even if they have a background behind them, openly provoking a state of violence...... How dare they? ”

Covertly and head-on provocation of violent law enforcement agencies in a regular State are two completely different concepts.

No matter how unbearable the image of the Japanese police is to the outside world, it can almost be said that it will be a long time to be ridden by a criminal organization.

Katsumi Uehara is very determined about this: "If there is anything you don't dare, the big deal is to leave Japan to avoid the limelight, anyway, they have escaped now." ”

Gin: That's a ruthless guy who dares to shoot Tokyo Tower in a helicopter gunship.

"So what should we do next?" Miwako, who was trying to keep herself calm, rubbed her eyebrows.

"Wait for the notice."

Katsumi Uehara's answer was succinct: "This eucalyptus is no longer something we can continue to meddle in here, even if we investigated it in the first place.

"What's more, there is a section chief who has died now."

Having said that, what was the reason why Kiyoshi Matsumoto was on the original timeline to search for the head of the first section?

Thinking of this, Katsumi Uehara frowned slightly, recalling the Metropolitan Police Department structure in Conan.

He only remembered that the management officer, Kiyoshi Matsumoto, would be promoted to the head of the first search section in the future, and Kuroda Guard, who was born in public security, took over his position and became the new management officer of the first search section......

As for the section chief...... Not impressed-

Wait, the top position of Matsumoto Kiyonaga on the original timeline should not also be because of the cleaning of the Metropolitan Police Department, right?

If I'm not mistaken, Kuroda was on the way to investigate as soon as he appeared?

Katsumi Uehara scratched his sideburns, and his heart was full of thoughts for a while.

The death of Saburo Wada, the current section chief, made him think of the future Matsumoto Kiyocho and even Kuroda Guard's superiority.

According to common sense, if Saburo Wada is not exposed, he should be able to survive until retirement and then be taken by Matsumoto Kiyonaga; But now because of his appearance, Gin was arrested, and Saburo Wada was forced to be exposed, exchanging himself for the escape ...... of Gin and others?

This does seem to form a closed loop of thinking, and the only drawback is that...... He has no evidence now.

"Ringing ringing!"

"Chiba? How's it going over there? ”

"The harvest is huge."

In the Wada Mansion, Chiba clenched the documents in his hand under the bright lights, and took several deep breaths in a row: "If you can, you'd better call Uehara to come here and have a look."

"So far, we've found a draft employment contract and a number of supplementary agreements between the section chief and Kenzo Kashiyama at his home, with a generous salary package that is enough to make people blush.

"As for the section chief's wife and son, they have all been brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department by Takagi, and Inspector Oda will personally interrogate them."
