The three of them traveled lightly and soon arrived in Nagano Prefecture from Tokyo.

Because it was a secret investigation, Zong Takuya did not alarm the Nagano Prefecture Police Headquarters, but only contacted the Nagano Prefecture Public Security.

The local public security and the local police headquarters seem to be one, but in fact they are two completely different systems.

In the public security system, the control of the public security headquarters over the local public security is far greater than the control of the Metropolitan Police Department over the local police headquarters.

The Metropolitan Police Department's influence over the local police headquarters is more of an influence than control.

Even some local police headquarters have no influence over the Metropolitan Police Department, such as the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters

These unresponsive local police headquarters seem to be more like a prince than a state within a state.

Local policing is quite different.

As the second counselor in charge of national intelligence, Zong Takuya has absolute jurisdiction over the local public security.

And the local public security also had to deal with the "ministers" who came down from the headquarters.

If one doesn't cope well, make the headquarters feel that the place is starting to get out of control.

That means that the local police will usher in a bloody purge.

The Great Purge here naturally does not mean that it is as simple as killing everyone, but changing to an unfamiliar area, and by the way, changing a less important department.

Headquarters can still do this.

Therefore, Zong Takuya can contact the local public security unscrupulously, without fear that they will reveal the whereabouts of his group to the Metropolitan Police Department.

The local police carried Zong Takuya and the three of them all the way to a remote mountain village.

This is where the court regularly inflows funds every year.

Before going to the village, Zong Takuya had already asked people to investigate the details of the village.

It shouldn't be said to be some information about the village.

Despite its remote location, the people of the village are not poor, and many of the customs that have been preserved in the modernization process of the village's nestled in the mountains.

For example, it will be a festival in the village not long after, and the funds of the Oniwa Trading Company will flow into it at this time of year.

According to the accounts of the Oniwa Trading Company, the main purpose of this fund, which is allocated every year, is to support local festivals.

Can you believe it? ”

Zong Takuya walked through the village with Gunda Ikumi and Zhufu Gaoming, and the village's festival was about to be held, and during this time, some foreign tourists came to the village one after another.

The people of the village are not surprised by these outsiders, and even enthusiastically sell their village's specialties to them.

In fact, there is nothing special about the so-called specialty.

Japan is a small country, and the area is so big.

Even if there are some differences in folk customs, they are not too much different.

So the specialties sold in the village are actually more souvenirs and souvenirs, just like those sold in tourist attractions.

Nothing special.

In such a featureless and featureless village, the Oniwa Trading Company regularly invests a sum of money every year to fund their festivals.

None of the management of Oniwa Trading Company had anything to do with the village

Are these people crazy?

One side takes the risk to earn illegal money, and then uses the money to fund a festival in a village that has nothing to do with them.

"Of course I don't believe it," Ikumi Gunda sneered, and it was not for nothing that people do good deeds.

But it will never happen to the kind of person in the big court.

"The people at Oniwa Trading Company must have other plans."

"I agree with Officer Gunda." Zhufu Gaoming still has that elegant appearance, and said unhurriedly at the moment:

"In fact, in the end, there are only a few possibilities for the Oniwa trading company.

Either they use the celebration as a pretext to launder money.

But it is only washed once a year, and it is not too large a lot of money to be washed once, and the court has its own fixed money laundering channels.

I don't think it's money laundering. ”

"It's impossible to sell drugs, and if it's a purchase price, it doesn't seem to be enough.

In addition, Oniwa Trading Company does not have a drug trafficking business. "Ikumi Gunda denied the possibility of drug trafficking.

Despite its remote location, the village seems to be a good place for drug dealers to use as a den.

On weekdays, Otin Trading Company is more engaged in the business of fraud and pig slaughter.

It's not easy to understand something illegal, and the management of Oniwa Trading Company is still sober and won't want to do everything.

In addition, Tokyo's drug market was already saturated, and the spheres of influence were clearly divided.

As an "outsider", it is difficult for Dating to get a piece of the pie.

The most important thing is that the people who do drug trafficking are a group of people who lick blood with knives, and the swindlers of the Dating Trading Company are still not ruthless enough.

Don't dare to play with others.

"That seems to be the last item left, either poison or gambling." Zong Takuya is the final word, and it is easy to choose one of the two options for gambling and drugs.

"Let's go, let's find a place to learn about the festival here, maybe" Just as Zong Takuya was about to find a place to learn about the characteristics of the festival, he found a black and particularly chic high school student in the crowd.

"Why is he there?" Zong Takuya is a little curious, and the very chic high school student who can be called black in the world of Conan is naturally only Hattori Heiji.

And the appearance of Hattori Heiji here also seems to be a foreshadowing

Sure enough, Zong Takuya looked up and found a combination of Maori Kogoro and Conan.

Well, what did this village do that caused all the gods of death to appear in this place?

At that moment, Zong Takuya shouted to them: "Mr. Mori, Hattori~"

"Counsellor?"

"Brother Takuya!"

The group naturally met for a while, and Takuya Nakamune also learned the reason why Mori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji came here.

Kogoro Mori, Conan, and Ran came to meet a family named Torada who lived in Nagano Prefecture.

They learned from the current head of the household, Naobu Torada, about his son Yoshiro who had recently been killed by a tornado.

And Hattori Heiji and Toyama and Ye went to the Dragon Tail house.

In the Tatsuo family's mansion, Heiji and Kazuha listen to the current head of the house, Ryuo Yushi, tell him about the kidnapping and murder of his son Yasuji not long ago.

Conan and Heiji, who were commissioned by each other, met in the process of investigating the case and decided to explore the truth of the incident together.

Just as they were leaving from Hutian to go to Ryuwei's house, they happened to meet Zong Takuya and his party at the village market.

"That means that in addition to the murder that you each want to investigate, you also learned of another case that happened six years ago during the investigation?"

Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mori arrived earlier than Takuya Sone, so they naturally knew more information.

After hearing from the two of them that a patrol officer died six years ago, Zong Takuya frowned deeply. (End of chapter)
