Chapter 30 Trap
Chapter 30 Trap
"Inspector Megure. The results of the second test showed that the hair and the bloodstain came from the same DNA."
"Where are the footprints?"
"They are the style of sneakers, and they are quite common and common."
one day ago--
Toyamaji found Chiba and said that he knew some details about the female corpse found in the reed field not long ago.
"I was driving past that area and saw a man beating a woman. As a law student, I couldn't just turn a blind eye. So I got out of the car and walked over. I saw the man slap the woman, so I ran over and pushed him to the ground. I asked him if he was injured anywhere and if he needed to go to the hospital."
"But she pushed me away with force and accidentally scratched the back of my hand, leaving a bloody mark. Then she told me not to meddle in other people's business. Since she had already said that, I couldn't stay any longer. And the woman kept hitting and scratching me, which made me feel a little embarrassed. So I thought at the time that it might just be a quarrel between the young lovers."
Hair, bloodstains, and footprints, all three pieces of evidence point to the same person - Hideyoshi Ikemoto.
However, when the police arrived at Hideyoshi Ikemoto's residence, they did not find him.
Due to insufficient evidence, Dongshanzhi was taken away by his lawyer.
"The murderer should be that person for sure. But why did evidence suddenly appear, pointing to another person? Is there some hidden story?"
Conan stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"My dear Conan, I didn't come to you to ask you to stay here and worry about who the murderer is. I need your help so that I can better implement the plan."
In terms of his relationship with the police, Conan definitely has more say than her. After all, he has become a person who can get through easily by swiping his face card.
"Plan?" Conan looked puzzled.
"Lue the snake out of its hole."
If this plan were to be told to the police, Megure Juzo would definitely object.
"Hey, you're not going to be the bait yourself, are you?"
Conan deliberately lowered his voice to prevent himself from accidentally shouting out loud.
The other party looks like he is powerless, so no matter how you think about it, it is not like luring a snake out of its hole, but rather a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
In some concepts, Conan's ideas are surprisingly consistent with Megure Jusan. That is, he is unwilling to let others act as bait because it is too dangerous.
After all, you never know what the other party will do next. You also don't know if the other party is carrying a sharp weapon. If you die because of this, it will be too late to regret.
"if not?"
Qinghai Chuantang smiled and said, "You have a good relationship with the police. If you are the one asking, I think they will be willing to cooperate. In this respect, I don't have as much say as you, not to mention that you have double the say."
In his words, he hinted at the dual identities of Conan and Kudo Shinichi.
The two of them are not friends, so they will not become partners. Although they are still wary, in some aspects, they are quite compatible, so they can be called "partners" for the time being. Because according to Conan's thinking, if he were a woman, he might also choose this approach.
Just like opium, it is addictive. When you get high, you feel like you are being dominated and unable to control yourself. Only desire is left.
"I'm just an elementary school student now, okay?"
Conan had a speechless expression on his face.
Should he thank her for the compliment? Why did she sound as if she could control the police?
This idea is too dangerous.
Even if he asked for help in the name of Kudo Shinichi, it might not work. If he could still fool Inspector Megure and the others before, but now that someone named Kawanishi Kiki has come, things have become a little tricky.
Although I don't know him very well, I heard that he is a very good detective and is very persistent in the case. If he suspects me.
"In return, I can tell you some secrets about the organization you want."
Conan was startled and his body froze for a moment.
"You, who are you?"
"Didn't I tell you my name?"
Qinghai Chuantang smiled, "Besides, didn't I tell you who my father is? Although it's a secret from you, he told me a lot. After all, I can be considered a 'good wife'."
Wait, it seems that this is not how the term "good wife" is used?
Conan's expression became a little strange, but he was really curious about the secret, and excitement suddenly appeared on his face again.
"Deal. But before that, you have to tell me a secret so that I can know whether you are lying or not."
Conan started negotiating with her, just like bargaining when buying vegetables.
"What do you want to know? But don't ask questions like who the boss is. Have you ever seen anyone play the last level of a game right at the start?"
It makes sense, but I can't refute it.
But Conan also knew that the other party did not know this secret, otherwise the Black Organization would have been destroyed long ago.
After thinking it over, Conan asked, "You know, malt whiskey?"
"know."
"and you."
"This is the second question."
Unknowingly, Conan fell into the trap that the other party had already dug.
Although the plan to lure the snake out of its hole can use Sato as bait.
But there is such a thing as instinctive reaction.
After all, Sato is not a weak woman. If she subdues the criminal directly, she will not be able to find evidence and catch him in the act.
In the dead of night, Qinghai Chuantang walked alone in the alley, deliberately slowing down her pace. This perfectly shows the thoughts of a timid girl walking at night.
According to the previous interviews with the victims, several routes that the criminals often appear can be determined. As long as you walk more, you will eventually meet them. What's more, this place is like a maze, and it's dark, so getting lost is normal, so it won't arouse the other party's suspicion.
Suddenly, Qinghai Chuantang stopped, squatted down and tightened his loose shoelaces.
At this moment, she couldn't help but pause, as if someone suddenly appeared behind her.
She stood up slowly, looking a little scared.
He leaned slightly to the side, then ran away.
The other person quickly caught up with her and covered her mouth and nose with his hands to prevent her from making any sound and waking up the others.
"Are you the pervert?"
Sato appeared from the alley where he had been lying in ambush, grabbed the other person and pushed him out.
He had a mask on his face and even a pair of gloves on his hands, and seemed to be well prepared.
"Pervert, come on."
Sato smiled provocatively.
He quickly stood up from the ground, turned around and ran.
"stop!"
The two of them deliberately did not chase after him directly, but instead kept a distance from him, allowing the other party to fall into another trap as expected.
Just when they reached a fork in the road, they found that the other person had disappeared in an instant, as if some magic had been used.
Qinghai Chuantang and Sato looked at each other, both couldn't help but smile, and then looked to the end of the alley on the left -
He placed the props in a transparent bag and put it back in the drawer.
An old man was lying nearby, soundly sleeping, and was not awakened by the noise. This was exactly why he chose this place.
"Toyamaji."
A voice suddenly appeared, and then the light of a flashlight shone on his face, which was a bit dazzling.
"who are you?"
"Edogawa Conan is a detective."
Conan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "With such a noise, the old man won't wake up, and it's also convenient for hiding evidence."
As she spoke, she walked to the drawer and took out the evidence. There were traces of lipstick on the gloves.
"Now, you can no longer deny it."
The flashlight shone on the other person, as if reminding him that it was time to surrender.
There are police officers nearby, and it would be too troublesome to deal with the child. We might even be caught in the act.
Dongshanzhi thought so, then he started running and rushed out of the door in two or three steps.
Unexpectedly, he was caught by someone who was waiting there and handcuffed.
"I was just a witness who passed by and saw the fight."
Until now, he is still making excuses.
Qinghai Chuantang saw his face clearly, not 35%, but 50%. It seems that it is really about to be mass-produced.
"You are now a criminal in flagrante delicto."
Conan came out at the right time.
In addition to the gloves in the transparent bag, there was also a pair of shoes, which were covered with traces of the victim.
Dongshanzhi stopped struggling and seemed to be thinking about something.
Finally, Toyamaji was taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department. He had the right to find a lawyer to defend himself, and the person he was looking for was Kawano Kawano.
"Why am I here again?"
"That's what I wanted to ask as well." Kawano He looked at him, "Why did you go there?"
"I prefer to take walks at night. Does that seem normal?"
Tou Sanzhi smiled, "I heard that AOI never fails. So, when can I go out again? I can't wait."
Kawano He stared at him for a while and was silent for a while.
"I've read the recent news. You know, not everything can be easily covered up."
Tou Sanzhi leaned forward and said, "What about what you did, President? Wasn't it covered up as well?"
Although he didn't explain what it was, Toyama's words undoubtedly made Kawano Kawahyu's body stiffen. It seemed that the other party did know.
He caught his own weakness, just like AOI caught his own weakness.
Once a person's weakness is caught by others, it is like grasping the other person's lifeline. Some people will do anything to cover up their weaknesses in order to survive.
Kawano He clenched his fists and then released them.
“AOI is already taking action.”
Kawano Kawakuni knew that AOI had a subordinate who was a man who liked to wear a black knitted hat.
Various methods are used to hide the evidence of a person's guilt.
It's like a contaminated site.
Tang: If you really ask me who the boss is, I actually don't know. Forget it, I'll just bluff him if I can, and make him look a little more powerful.
