"Being followed? Who is it? Zong Takuya thought about it and found that something was wrong.

Judging from the information known so far, the ID that Conan wears on his hand has a location function.

And the ID can't be taken down without the instructions of the gangsters.

This means that the gangsters don't need to send someone to follow them at all, and the detectives have IDs in their hands like kite strings connected to a kite.

As long as the ID is still in the hands of the gangsters, no matter what, the detectives will never be able to escape.

Obviously, these people who followed Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Hakuba should have been sent by a third party.

What was originally a bomb hijacking case is now a third party.

The police officer who was driving the car replied, "The first thing that followed Hattori Heiji and his party was a sedan.

The driver of the sedan was supposed to be a woman, and the stalkers later became two men riding a motorcycle 'heavily armed'. ”

"Ever since they left Yokohama Marine University, two stalkers have been following them.

They seem to be choosing the right time and place to prepare to attack Hattori Heiji and his party. ”

"What about the identity of that woman, does the Kanagawa police have any guesses?" Zong Takuya continued to ask.

"Yes councillor, through our investigation, we have determined that the target of the investigation by Hattori Heiji and his party should be a bank robbery that occurred on April 4 in Badochi."

One of the robbers killed a security guard on the spot, and the suspects were Suehiko Ito and Masaharu Nishio, who graduated from Yokohama Maritime University.

Later, when the Kanagawa Prefecture Criminal Police conducted an in-depth investigation, one of the suspects, Masaharu Nishio, was shot dead in the office of the Far East Company.

The Far East Company is a company founded by Suehiko Ito. ”

Originally, Suehiko Ito was a major suspect, and multiple evidence and witness testimony pointed at him.

But the Kanagawa detective later found new clues on the sniper rifle that shot Masaharu Nishio.

The suspect, Reiko Shimizu, officially entered the police's sight. ”

"Reiko Shimizu? Who is this? ”

Reiko Shimizu was a college classmate of Suehiko Ito and Masaharu Nishio, and after graduation, Reiko Shimizu and Masaharu Nishio joined the Far East company founded by Suehiko Ito.

And when the three of them were in school, they all belonged to the Crime Research Society, and Suehiko Ito was the president of this research society at the beginning. ”

Listen, listen to Zong Takuya, find out that the gangsters who manipulated this incident finally fell on Suehiko Ito and that Reiko Shimizu.

So he asked the police, "What about that Suehiko Ito?" ”

The police replied, "After the death of Masaharu Nishio, the Kanagawa police received a report that there was a serious car accident in the container area of the terminal.

The scene of the crash found Suehiko Ito, who was badly injured, and the sniper rifle that had been wiped clean of fingerprints hidden in the trunk.

Later, after a professional investigation, it was found that the brakes of the car Ito was driving at the time had been tampered with. ”

"Suehiko Ito, who was seriously injured, was admitted to the hospital, but after his injuries stabilized a little, Suehiko Ito knocked out the police officer in charge of guarding him in the room and fled the hospital without a trace."

"So, what about that Reiko Shimizu?" Unsurprised by this result, Zong Takuya began to ask another suspect.

"According to the report of the Kanagawa criminal police, Reiko Shimizu should be dead."

"Dead? Or should it be? This kind of rhetoric of the public security in the driver's seat made Zong Takuya's first reaction was to fake his death.

In fact, the use of fake death to evade legal punishment is also a tried and tested method by some prisoners.

Especially for Zong Tuoya, who is engaged in intelligence, what they pay attention to is to see people in life and corpses in death.

If there is no body, it can only be considered missing.

When will the body be found before it can be completely declared dead.

Obviously, this norm also applies to the public security in Kanagawa.

After the Kanagawa criminal police found out that Reiko Shimizu was suspected of committing a major crime, they launched a high-intensity interrogation of her.

However, no substantial progress has been made.

And because the evidence was not sufficient, she could only let Reiko Shimizu out. ”

A few days after Reiko Shimizu left the police station, she was witnessed jumping into the sea and committing suicide.

Due to the turbulent water where Shimizu Reiko jumped into the sea, although Shimizu Reiko's body was not found, the Kanagawa criminal police still determined that Shimizu Reiko was dead.

But the Kanagawa police did not agree with this verdict. ”

"When we received our request for assistance, the Kanagawa police reopened the investigation into the cases of Reiko Shimizu and Suehiko Ito.

They found that shortly after the 4.4 Horse Lane bank robbery, Kidd's escape path partially coincided with the robber's escape route.

Remnants of two cartridge casings, a pistol and a rifle, were found at the scene, suggesting that Kidd, a strange thief passing by at the time, may have seen their real appearance.

That's why they were chased and killed by robbers. ”

"The robbers were led into a rugged alley when they were chasing Kidd, and the Kanagawa police judged that there should have been three people robbed at the time.

That is, Reiko Shimizu, Suehiko Ito, and Masaharu Nishio. ”

"At the scene of Masaharu Nishio's murder, the Kanagawa police also re-investigated and confirmed that the two people who shot Masaharu Nishio at that time should have been killed.

The first is a sniper who is lethal with one hit, while the second is a fresh hand with poor shooting skills. ”

"Judging from the fact that Suehiko Ito's car has been manipulated, the murderer should be the most suspicious Reiko Shimizu.

Based on this, the Kanagawa police judged that Reiko Shimizu should not be dead, but hiding somewhere.

We also agree with the judgment of our colleagues in Kanagawa. ”

Regarding the judgment of the Kanagawa public security and his subordinates, Zong Takuya also agrees.

At this moment, the public security happened to park the car not far from the Far East Company, and Zong Takuya happened to see Hattori Heiji, Conan, and Detective Hakuba walking into the company building in defiance of the sign prohibiting entry.

Shortly after the trio entered the building, two men on motorcycles also operated their own locomotives and forced their way into the building.

It looked extraordinarily arrogant.

Zong Takuya sat in the back seat without getting out of the car and gave orders to his subordinates: "Prepare to activate the safe house closest to here."

Let the guys go up and bring those two assailants here, don't get killed.

Dig out everything they know, move fast, and we don't have much time left. ”

"In addition, let the bomb disposal experts from the National Police Agency be on standby in the safe house, and if they confirm that the bomb ID in their hands can be defused, then remove the ID as soon as possible."

"Hayi!"

The public security officer in the driver's seat heard Zong Takuya's order and immediately got out of the car to make arrangements.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen heavily armed police officers to arrive from all directions, inspect the firearms, and enter the Far East Company building.

Soon after, the arrogant man who had just entered the Far East building on a motorcycle was dragged out of it.

At the same time, a frightened trio of high school detectives came out together. (End of chapter)
