Chapter 868 Conan is the shining beacon
The next day, the Metropolitan Police Department held a press conference and broadcast the entire process live regarding the explosion that occurred during the trial operation of the "Touto Line" the day before. Criminal Department Director Odagiri Toshiro, Aoki Matsu, Shiratori Jinsaburo, and Conan's guardian Mouri Kogoro were also invited to attend the meeting.
Facing the cameras of many reporters, Aoki Matsu said: "The criminals used plastic bombs, and they used remote control to start the timer. The subway runs at 60 kilometers per hour, and the emergency stop curve where the criminals were located was 250 meters away from the bomb, so we can infer that the timer was set for 15 seconds.
Therefore, if the driver had not applied the emergency brake at the time, he would have been directly subjected to the force of the explosion, leading to an irreversible tragedy. "
After hearing what Aoki Matsu said, the media reporters present couldn't help but show surprise. Then a reporter in the crowd raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, who is the person who called Inspector Aoki to ask you to stop the train?"
Aoki Matsu said, "It was Detective Maori who called and told me that there was a bomb in the Shin-Yamate Tunnel. I thought that the Shin-Yamate Tunnel and Line 15 overlapped to a certain extent, so I immediately asked the train to stop. I must be responsible for the safety of all the passengers in the train."
Kogoro Maori was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously glanced at Aoki Matsu.
Aoki Matsu ignored his look.
In this situation, he certainly couldn't say that it was Sayuri who called him!
Even if the incident was discovered later, Aoki Matsu could say that he was protecting a minor, and others would understand.
As for Kogoro Mori, he is not afraid of itching because he has too many lice.
Seeing this, Odagiri Toshiro immediately said: "As for the result, all the passengers in the car, including Governor Asakura, were unharmed. In addition, thanks to the assistance of Conan, no vehicle was affected by the explosion. I think this can only be described as a miracle."
Immediately, a reporter raised his hand and asked, "Then why did Conan notice the bomb?"
Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu immediately said, "It is said that the detective Maori who was present told him in advance that there might be a bomber."
Maori Kogoro was even more confused after hearing this [Me? ]
After hearing what Aoki Matsu said, Maori Kogoro pointed at himself in confusion, but the next second, he heard continuous praises from the audience.
"You are worthy of being the famous detective Maori!"
"Detective Maori is amazing!"
Seeing that the reporters in the audience were all praising him, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help scratching his head.
Before he could figure it out, he heard a reporter in the audience ask, "Mr. Maori, could you please give us your opinion on the criminals?"
Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro immediately said seriously: "Ahem~ The purpose of the criminals committing crimes against each other is not only to take the life of Mayor Asakura, but also to destroy the major construction he promoted during his second term! That is, the new subway line of Toei. I can only say that their criminal behavior is unforgivable!"
After hearing what Maori Kogoro said, a reporter immediately asked: "What do you know about the criminals at present?"
Shiratori Renzaburo continued, "Unfortunately, the surveillance cameras installed in the tunnel did not capture the emergency stop bend where the criminals were. We speculate that the criminals escaped from the emergency exit and fled to the road on the ground via the slope.
But no witnesses have been found so far. Conan also said that he could not tell the criminal's age, appearance, or whether he was a man or a woman.
"According to our police's analysis, the motive for the crime came from unilateral dissatisfaction and resentment towards Mayor Asakura's administration over the past four years. Our police will conduct investigations in this direction. The press conference ends here!" After saying this, Toshio Odagiri stood up and left.
Seeing this, Aoki Matsu and Shiratori Renzaburo also stood up and left.
Seeing this, Kogoro Maori immediately followed.
Everyone returned to the office.
After encouraging Aoki Matsu and others and urging them to solve the case as soon as possible, Odagiri Toshio left. He still had to report the situation to his superiors.
meeting room.
Inspector Megure presided over the meeting and reviewed the known situation.
"It seems that it will be difficult to find the criminal." Inspector Megure sighed.
Qing Musong thought for a moment and said, "Regarding that threatening letter, I think it is very likely to cover up the motive for committing the crime!"
Gao Mushi was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "Huh? You said it's used to cover up?"
Aoki Matsu looked at Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector, Governor Asakura was previously the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, right?"
"Yes, is there any problem?" said Inspector Megure.
"What project involving the most people did he preside over when he was in office?" asked Aoki Matsu.
Aihara Yoji said at the time: "I heard that when he was the minister, a village in Niigata Prefecture was relocated in order to build a reservoir."
Maruta Ayumi also said: "Yes, I still remember this, I remember that was the Kitanosawa Reservoir!"
Aihara Yoji responded, “Yes, but Minister Asakura personally visited the village and said that he would prepare a high deposit and an alternative area suitable for living. He even stayed in the village for a week. He had a sincere talk with every villager, so he gained the trust of the villagers, and finally everyone agreed to move the village.
Later, it took only three years to build the new village, and only five years to complete the reservoir from the start to the completion. But I heard that some villagers were still firmly opposed to it in the end. "
Maruta Ayumi suddenly realized what was going on. "So that's how it is. If the real motive of the criminals is the resentment towards the construction of the reservoir, then the criminals must be people from the village or related personnel."
Aoki Matsu shook his head. "This is just one of the possibilities. There could be other things that made the criminal hate Governor Asakura."
But Qing Musong knew that this was inevitable.
why?
Because the place Conan and his friends are going to on Sunday is Kitanosawa Village, which was newly built due to the construction of a reservoir!
In a case with no clues.
Conan is a shining guiding light!
Aoki Matsu was 100% sure that it didn't matter even if the criminal was not from Kitanozawa Village, but the next time the criminal committed a crime, it would definitely be in Kitanozawa Village!
Don’t ask why, the answer is science.
Believe in science, Amen.
Inspector Megure then said, "This Sunday, a ceremony to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the village will be held in the village in the alternative area. Governor Asakura was originally scheduled to attend and stay overnight, but he canceled his trip because of this incident."
"Wait, this seems a little wrong!" Takagi Shigeru frowned and said.
"It's a bit strange indeed. If they hate Governor Asakura because of the village relocation, then wouldn't it be easier for Governor Asakura to go to Kitanosawa Village in Niigata Prefecture than this opportunity?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki also spoke up at this time. "This is a bit like..."
"It seems like the criminals deliberately wanted to stop Governor Asakura from going to Kitanosawa Village in Niigata Prefecture." Aoki Matsu continued: "Yesterday, after I received the call, I stopped the train and the train did not enter. But the criminals still pressed the button to cause the explosion in the Shin-Yamate Tunnel."
Upon hearing this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled and said, "It's more like a threat. I just don't know what secrets Kitanosawa Village has."
Inspector Megure thought for a moment and said, "Aoki, you lead the team to Kitanozawa Village to investigate, while Shiratori and Sato stay in Tokyo and continue the investigation there."
"Yes!" everyone responded.
After leaving the meeting room, Aoki Matsu looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Ayumi Maruta, and Yoji Aihara and said, "Is it okay for you to go to Kitanosawa Village this weekend? If you have any questions, please let me know and I will go to Inspector Megure to coordinate."
"No problem." All three of them responded.
"Very good." Aoki Matsu said with satisfaction: "Maruta, go check the information of Kitanozawa Village, especially what happened when the reservoir was built. Aihara, go check the information of the residents of Kitanozawa Village to see if there are any criminals or people who died because of the reservoir."
"Yes!" Maruta Ayumi and Aihara Yoji responded immediately.
Upon hearing this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Aoki Matsu and asked, "Inspector, what about me?"
"Go help them first and see how criminal investigations are done." Qing Musong said, "Detectives and criminal investigations are completely different."
"Yes!" Nanatsuki Yueshui responded upon hearing this.
After sending the three people away, Qing Musong took out his cell phone and checked it. There was no reply from Noah's Ark.
There are also cameras installed near the Shin-Yamamate Tunnel. Even if the criminal is careful, Aoki Matsu doesn't believe that he can escape without leaving the tunnel. Whether he drives or walks, as long as he comes out, he can be locked.
Of course, this kind of locking will definitely lock out a large number of vehicles and people.
We need to compare them one by one, which is too much work.
But don’t forget, there is also Conan, the shining beacon.
After getting the information, compare it with the people in Kitanozawa Village first. If there is any duplication, that person must be the number one suspect.
Of course, it is also possible that there is no overlapping person, so the murderer could be a traveler to Kitanozawa Village.
Then when we go to Kitanozawa Village, we can connect to the Internet, secretly collect information about tourists, and then let Noah's Ark compare it again.
If this can't be compared.
Then Aoki Matsu can only say - the plot is killing it.
Just wait and catch the criminals after the crime happens.
Before going to Kitanosawa Village, Maruta Ayumi and Aihara Yoji came to report to Aoki Matsu with the information they had investigated.
"Inspector, I found out that nothing major happened when the reservoir was being built, but there were always people who opposed the construction of the reservoir. Even after the reservoir was built, there were still people who opposed it." Maruta Ayumi said, "That person is Yamao Keisuke."
Upon hearing this, Aihara Yoji said, "Inspector, this Yamao Keisuke hit and killed Natsuki Tono from the same village eight years ago, but he surrendered to the police, so he was released after only a few years in prison. The reservoir was built before he was released from prison."
Qing Musong frowned when he heard this. He always felt that this case was somewhat familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember it.
After thinking about it, he still couldn't remember, so Qing Musong gave up thinking about it and looked at the two of them and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Both shook their heads.
"Apart from this incident, there is no other major event." said Maruta Ayumi.
"Okay then, let's get off work early today and go home to pack our luggage. Tomorrow we will go there with Professor Agasa and the others, disguised as tourists." Aoki Matsu said.
"Yes!" the three responded.
Aoki Matsu also left work early and went home to pack his luggage.
Aoki Matsu then contacted Noah's Ark and received a list from them. These were all suspicious vehicles that Noah's Ark had selected after comparing them with the cameras near the Shin-Yamamate Tunnel.
But it has nothing to do with the people of Kitanosawa Village.
Aoki Matsu was not surprised by this.
To do something like this, if the criminals are not stupid, they will definitely change cars, and most of them will be illegal ones.
The chances of being able to detect it are pitifully small, and not being able to detect it is the norm.
The next day, Aoki Matsu and other three went to meet up with Dr. Agasa at his house.
After arriving at Dr. Agasa's house, they found out that not only Dr. Agasa and the Junior Detective League were going to Kitanosawa Village to ski, but also Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were going too.
"Ms. Agasa isn't going?" Aoki Matsu asked curiously.
Subaru Okiya has appeared and lives nearby. Could it be that this pair of cousins have fallen in love with each other again?
Agasa Yuko smiled and said, "I have something to do so I won't go. I feel relieved with uncle, Mr. Maori, and Inspector Aoki here."
Aoki Matsu didn't ask any further questions after hearing this.
However, Dr. Agasa asked curiously, "Mr. Aoki, who is this lady?"
"She is the new detective in our Investigation Division 1, Section 3, Nanatsuki Koshimizu." Aoki Matsu introduced with a smile, and then introduced Professor Agasa and others to Nanatsuki Koshimizu.
"Why do I feel that Detective Koshimizu is a bit like someone..." Genta looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki and whispered to his friends.
Sayuri asked curiously, "Who does he look like?"
Mitsuhiko said very cleverly at this time: "Genta, you mean that Detective Koshimizu looks a lot like Detective Sato, right? They both have short hair and are both heroic and brave women."
"That's right!" Yuan Tai nodded.
Hearing this, Nanatsuki Koshimizu smiled and said to the Junior Detective Team, "We are going to investigate secretly, so we cannot reveal our identities. You can just call me Sister Koshimizu."
"Yes! Sister Yueshui." Several members of the Junior Detective Team shouted obediently.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu smiled when she heard that, then glanced at Conan again before looking away.
Before, Aoki Matsu told her that Conan was very smart and had a strong talent for reasoning, and was a little genius. Nanatsuki Koshimizu was a little skeptical, but previous events told Nanatsuki Koshimizu that Conan was indeed a little genius in reasoning and should not be underestimated.
Therefore, Nanatsuki Koshimizu also became curious about Conan.
But it's not malicious.
After everyone arrived, we drove to the subway station, took the Shinkansen to Niigata, and then took a bus from Niigata to Kitanosawa Village.
Kitanosawa Village is currently hosting the annual Kitanosawa Snow Festival, and many tourists come here to visit, but it is not yet crowded.
After putting away their luggage and changing into thick clothes, everyone entered the ice and snow world and started playing.
Although Qing Musong and the other three had a mission to accomplish, they went out to play for a while before starting to work.
