"Brother, this picture Granburch sent...I can only see that it is a woman."
Vodka looked embarrassed.
Gin had a cold face and, contrary to his usual style, he did not smoke and sat on the chair.
He had just finished talking to Rum. The people stationed at the airport were all arranged by Rum. They were almost at their doorstep, but there was no sign of any surveillance?
Were they all killed? A bunch of rubbish.
"Bring it over and let me take a look."
Just now, Gin only finished reading the message sent by Chu Ming and went to communicate with Rum. He hadn't even looked at the pictures yet, so he directly asked Vodka to print them out and prepare to send them to each member later.
Vodka handed over the printed picture.
FBI Agent——by Chu Ming
"..."
After a long silence, Gin finally spoke: "Female, blonde, blue eyes, wearing black-framed glasses. According to this standard, let someone go to Mika to have a look first."
"You are worthy of being the big brother. You can understand this." Vodka's face was full of pride.
Gin didn't say anything. He just waited for Vodka to leave and then silently crumpled up the picture in his hand and threw it into the trash can.
If it’s garbage, just throw it into the trash can.
Like the paintings by Granberg.
Gin: Gotta tell Granburrch, it's a great drawing, don't draw it next time.
Chapter 144: Specialization
"Officer, is my wife okay? I received a notification from the police saying that my wife was involved in a car bombing."
It took a long time for Kazuo Sakihara to finally arrive.
"You must be Mr. Kazuo Sakihara. Don't worry, your wife is fine." Officer Megure comforted him.
Unfortunately, Kazuo Sakihara was not comforted at all. When he heard that his wife was fine, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Why, you seem disappointed that your wife is fine?" Chu Ming leaned against the door frame, looking at him suspiciously.
Sakihara Kazuo's eyebrows were knitted together. "How is that possible! I'm just happy for Xiaohui! It's so fortunate that there were no casualties in the explosion. It's so lucky, hahaha, haha."
"No, Mr. Sakihara, I regret to inform you that your wife's sister, Miss Kuanmei, was unfortunately killed in the explosion."
Chu Ming narrowed his eyes and informed him kindly.
"!!! What did you say! You said Kuanmei..."
Kazuo Sakihara's voice suddenly became louder. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, he lowered his head and restrained himself for a moment, then straightened his bow tie to try to cover it up.
"How, how could it be...what's going on?"
"You are not in love with your wife's sister Kuanmei, so you tampered with the car and tried to kill Miss Xiaohui in the explosion. Oh, right? In this way, you can live with her sister~ Maybe you can even buy a huge insurance policy for your wife. Tsk tsk, you can get both money and people~"
Chu Ming clenched his right fist and hammered it on the palm of his left hand, looking like he saw through it all.
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly kill my own wife? And I've been working in the company all day today, and everyone in the office can testify for me!"
Kazuo Sakihara's face turned red with anger and he roared at Chu Ming.
Chu Ming continued to stimulate him: "So far, this sentence is the most fluent. How many times have you practiced it at home?"
"you--"
Officer Megure quickly separated the two of them, without mentioning Chu Ming's question: "Mr. Sakihara, you are still in the hospital, please keep your voice down. Miss Kanmei was helping your wife reverse the car when it exploded. By the way, do you have any impression of this person?"
Officer Megure unfolded a portrait. Sakihara Kazuo's eyes shrank suddenly, and then he tried his best to pretend to be calm: "No, I don't know him. I'm going to see my wife. Excuse me."
After saying that, he opened the door and entered the ward.
Inspector Megure watched him enter the ward: "This is really too suspicious..."
"Yes, even Inspector Megure could see that he was suspicious. It seems that he is the murderer. Then how did he complete his alibi——"
Chu Ming pinched his chin and thought hard, ignoring the resentful and aggrieved look of Inspector Megure.
Conan walked up to Officer Megure and tugged at him: "Officer Megure, have you checked the man in the portrait? Is there any information?"
"Not yet. The portrait was just finished and I brought it over to show Mr. Sakihara. When Takagi comes later, he will take it to investigate."
Speak of the devil, Takagi came running over and said, "Officer Megure, we have already investigated the scene. How is the portrait?"
Officer Megure handed him the portrait and said, "You came at the right time. Here is the portrait. Go investigate it——"
"Hey, this man - I've seen him in the case file that Officer Sato was in charge of."
"Quick, go to the Metropolitan Police Department and pull out that file!"
"Yes!"
——Metropolitan Police Department——
Inspector Megure pasted the man's photo on the whiteboard together with the portrait he had drawn.
"Yes, it's him." Officer Sato stood aside. "His name is Takahashi Hiromasa, and he works at a chemical company. His wife, Takahashi Sachiko, was stabbed on her way home from shopping at a convenience store and died of excessive blood loss. She bought a huge amount of insurance before her death, and Takahashi Hiromasa was heavily in debt. We also suspected that he might have killed his wife to defraud the insurance, but he had sufficient alibi on that day."
"Takahashi Hiromasa works at a chemical company and can make explosives. And these two cases have one thing in common, both wanted to kill their wives, and they both have alibis, so is there a possibility-"
"——They are exchanging their killing targets."
Chu Ming's voice was not loud, but it made the whole office silent.
"But why did Mr. Sakihara want to kill Miss Xiaohui..." Xiaolan was puzzled.
Maori Kogoro sighed: "This can be seen from the few words that Mr. Sakihara blurted out after learning of Miss Kanmei's death. He and Miss Kanmei must have had some unusual relationship before..."
Chu Ming nodded. Yes, the uncle has a keen sense of smell when it comes to catching cheating.
This is what it means to specialize in a profession.
However, there may be a reversal in this case.
Chu Ming carefully recalled the look in Xiaohui's eyes when she saw Maori Kogoro that day. It didn't seem like she was seeing her teacher after a long absence.
——It’s more like the panic of being caught doing something bad.
Could it be that she was taking advantage of the situation?
Not bad, this was a great counterattack, but it had nothing to do with him.
It’s better to go back early, take a shower and go to bed. I don’t know if Gin has sent someone to track Judy’s whereabouts. Maybe by following her, I can find Akai Shuichi.
When Shuichi Akai arrives in Japan, things will be in complete chaos, right?
Bourbon doesn't want to blow up the Metropolitan Police Department, but he will definitely be willing to accompany me to blow up the FBI~
Chapter 145 Don't buy yourself insurance in Mihua
"We were at the Metropolitan Police Department last night, so why didn't they just take a statement while we were there? Why did we have to make another trip today?"
I go to the Metropolitan Police Department every day, but I am not as diligent as the organization.
"Besides, Dr. Agasa is here, Uncle Maori is here too, and they have participated in almost all of Conan's cases. Why should I come here?" Chu Ming lay on the chair and wailed.
"Okay, Brother Chu Ming, now that we're here, we agreed to go to the amusement park together later!"
"Ugh--"
Takagi came out with a few cups of tea. "Haha, we were really busy last night. After listening to Mr. Chu Ming and Detective Maori's reasoning, we immediately went to catch Takahashi Hiromasa. At that time, he was already packing up to escape. Kazuo Sakihara saw the police portrait in the hospital and realized that Takahashi Hiromasa was exposed. He immediately called to inform him to escape, but was caught on the spot by Officer Sato."
When talking about Officer Sato, Takagi's eyes sparkled.
He went on to say, "These two people confessed everything last night. They met while drinking, and it was at that time that Sakihara proposed to Takahashi to exchange wives for insurance fraud. Sakihara fell in love with his wife's sister, Miss Kuanmei, and tried to use the high insurance money from killing Miss Xiaohui to open a clothing store for Miss Kuanmei..."
"Does Xiaohui know about this?" Mao Li's eyes were full of worry.
Takagi nodded: "Inspector Megure went to her house this morning. She couldn't believe it and kept crying. No wonder, even if her husband didn't want to kill her, her sister betrayed her."
Conan always felt that he had overlooked something. He looked up and asked Chu Ming: "Brother Chu Ming, do you feel that something is wrong?"
"What's wrong? I just realized a truth from this." Chu Ming's face was serious.
"What's the point?"
"In Mihua, don't buy insurance for yourself if you don't have any."
"..."
Conan turned his head away. He shouldn't have asked Chu Ming.
???
Chu Ming stared at Conan in dissatisfaction. Was he wrong? Buying insurance at Mihua is like giving money to others with your own life!
After talking about yesterday's case, Takagi took out the file bags of several previous cases.
"I'm the only one here to take your statements today. Officer Megure and the others are a bit busy."
"Huh? Why are you still busy since yesterday's case was solved?" Kogoro Mouri was a little confused.
"Recently, Officer Megure has been busy with the bank robbery case. It was because of the terrible bombing case that Officer Megure took time out to go yesterday."
"Are you talking about the case where 200 million yuan was forcibly stolen from the Beihu Town Bank three days ago?" Maori Kogoro suddenly realized, "I also saw the report of that case."
"That day, Officer Megure's wife, Abi, also went to the Haido Bank to do business. She was taken hostage by the robbers and was slightly injured. So this time, Officer Megure worked especially hard!"
Takagi took out the folder: "Okay, let's get started, I have a date at five o'clock~"
"Oh my, Officer Takagi actually has a date tonight? But your buttons are about to fall off?" Conan tilted his head to act cute.
"Yeah, the collar is a little dirty and the shirt is a little wrinkled. Would you go on a date like this?" Chu Ming also asked a soul-searching question.
"Ah - this -" Takagi felt a little embarrassed.
Dr. Agasa at the side delivered a fatal blow: "You don't have a girlfriend, do you want me to introduce one to you?"
Gao Mu quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, I want to ask someone I like out tonight, she-"
