Before Shizuka Shizuka could finish her words, Inspector Megure arrived here led by Kogoro Mori. He first greeted the two Suzuki sisters, then looked at Shizuka Shizuka who was sitting between the two of them and smiled warmly.
"You must be Ms. Ayako's fiancé, Mr. Shimizu, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Jusan Megure, a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division."
"Hello, Officer Megure." Shizuka Shizuka nodded at him.
Although Shirakawa Shizuka had seen this fat police inspector a long time ago, for Shizuka Shizuka, this was the first time she met Inspector Megure.
"Mr. Shimizu, I came to see you mainly to ask you some questions before and after the explosion. I wonder if it's convenient for you now?"
After some simple pleasantries, Inspector Megure quickly got to the point. Perhaps because of Shizuka Shizuka's identity, he did not make his tone sound too harsh.
Chapter 256 But the one who sent it was someone from the organization
"No problem. Do you need me to go somewhere alone?"
Having anticipated the current situation, Shizuka Shizuka agreed to Megure Jusan's request.
"Ah, that's not necessary. It's just a few simple inquiries. Just stay here."
Shizuka Shizuka readily agreed, which made Inspector Megure feel a little relieved.
After all, he is from a big consortium. If the other party gets angry and doesn't want to cooperate for some reason, it will be difficult for him to deal with it.
Clearing his throat, Inspector Megure looked at her with his usual serious expression on his face.
"Mr. Shimizu, did you notice anything that seemed unusual to you before the explosion?"
"Have."
Nodding, Qing Shuijing replied: "Before the train arrived at the station, I saw a strange man on the platform..."
Briefly and quickly, she recounted everything about the man with glasses and the suitcase she had seen earlier.
"Inspector Megure, after seeing that scene, although I didn't know what those people's purpose was, I always had a bad feeling in my heart, and it was this premonition that ultimately prevented me from boarding that train.
Of course, I am not sure whether the suitcase is really related to the explosion, but I suggest that the police can investigate in this direction..."
"A black suitcase?... I see. The police will consider it."
Officer Megure nodded, and then asked, "By the way, Mr. Shimizu, do you still remember the specific appearance of those men you mentioned?
If you can, I hope you can recall it, it may also be helpful to the police investigation. "
"I see...can I have some paper and a pen?"
"what?"
"Inspector Megure, my brother-in-law is our art teacher at Teitan High School. He's very good at drawing!" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly interrupted. It seemed that she would never miss any opportunity to praise her brother-in-law.
"Is that so? That's great. Takagi, come here quickly..."
And right next to the crowd, Conan, who was also secretly listening, frowned and his eyes kept fixed on Shizuka Shizuka.
"What's wrong, great detective?" Haibara Ai suddenly walked up to him and asked, still wearing a hat and mask on her face.
"Are you doubting him?"
"No, I don't think he lied." Conan said in a low voice, withdrawing his gaze from Shizuka Shizuka.
"No matter how you look at it, today's events have nothing to do with him. Just as he said, he probably just noticed something unusual and became alert, so he didn't choose to get on that train. Logically, this does make sense, but..."
Speaking of this, Conan's eyebrows frowned deeper.
"Haibara, suppose you were Shizumi Shizuka, what would you choose to do in the previous situation?"
He looked at Haibara Ai, and there was something else hidden deep in his eyes.
Haibara Ai immediately realized the hidden meaning in his words.
Conan really didn't think that Shizuka Shizuka had anything to do with today's explosion.
However, Qing Shuijing's reaction after noticing the unusual situation on the platform made him suspicious.
Qingshui Jing's actions do sound very logical, but when you think about it carefully, they don't seem like the reaction an ordinary normal person should have.
From the perspective of hindsight, there is indeed nothing wrong with the fact that Shizuka Shizuka became alert after seeing the swapped suitcase and ultimately chose not to board the train.
But the point is, before the explosion, why do you think there must be dangerous items inside?It even made you decide that you couldn’t get on that train?
When ordinary people encounter such a situation, shouldn't their first reaction be to think that it might be a theft? Even if they think that it might be a bomb, it would probably be a joke, not a real thought.
Conan keenly noticed that Shizuka Shizuka's reaction at that time was completely different from what a normal person would react to.
He couldn't help but recall the first time he met Shizuka Shizuka in the Bandage Monster Villa.
He still felt that the identity of the man in front of him was very special.
He is anything but ordinary.
"Hey! Megure!"
Suddenly, a loud voice was heard behind everyone, and a burly middle-aged man with a small mustache on his chin jumped from the track outside onto the platform and ran quickly towards Inspector Megure.
"You are... the village police officer?!" Seeing the burly man, Kogoro Mouri shouted in surprise.
"Oh? Brother Maori, you are here too? Sorry, I was busy investigating the scene and didn't notice..."
"Murakaka Officer, haven't you already left the police force? How come..."
Muranaka Tsutomu was a police officer of the same period as Megure Juzo in the Metropolitan Police Department, and was also the fastest to be promoted to the rank of Superintendent among his peers.
However, after being injured in a mission three years ago, Muranaka Tsutomu retired from the police force. I heard that he is about to marry his foreign fiancée.
"Haha, I happened to be at the Metropolitan Police Department to see Megure for some business, and when I heard that there was an explosion here, I followed along."
Muranaka Tsutomu explained with a smile.
"I originally thought it would be a case related to 'Pramia', but I just investigated the scene and found that it doesn't seem to be..."
"Pramya?"
"Oh, that's the famous international indiscriminate serial bomber. I heard that this criminal came to Japan recently. The train bombing that happened in the suburbs some time ago was related to this person...ah, sorry, I got off topic."
Smiling embarrassedly, Muranaka Tsutomu pointed to the small black fragment in his hand towards Officer Megure.
"Megure, I just checked the carriage at the center of the explosion and found a large number of similar black fragments inside.
I asked the forensics department to collect and analyze it. These should be fragments of a suitcase. After collecting these fragments, we roughly judged based on the restored shape that the explosion in the carriage at that time might have occurred in this suitcase.
In other words, the bomb that destroyed the entire carriage was actually transported onto the train in a suitcase.”
"Is it really a suitcase?"
"The painting is done."
While the few people were talking, Shizuka Shizuka handed the three stick drawings in her hand to Inspector Megure.
"Oh! That's a great help, Mr. Shimizu! Let me see it!"
Inspector Megure quickly took it, and Kogoro Mori and Tsutomu Muranaka beside him, and even Conan followed over.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingshui Jing quickly took out her mobile phone and took a look. There was a text message sent a few minutes ago.
The content of the text message was a series of irregular numbers. Qingshui Jing quickly deciphered it based on her memory, deleted the text message, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
really interesting……
The man with glasses and the suitcase is actually a member of the organization?
()
Will Chapter 257 be related to that research?
"Has the identity been confirmed?"
In the car outside Suzuki's house, Shizuka Shizuka was sitting alone in the driver's seat with an earphone in her ear.
One day has passed since the train explosion on the platform. After roughly identifying the suspect, the subsequent investigation of the case was entirely handed over to the police.
If nothing unexpected happens, the police should be able to arrest the murderer quickly after obtaining the suspect's appearance provided by Shizuka Shizuka.
Well, if nothing unexpected happens...
As for their original plan to go to Clover Villa to attend the anniversary party...because it was already evening yesterday after cooperating with the police in the investigation and taking Houxi's statement, everyone was not in a hurry to leave, but agreed to go together this morning.
Anyway, this anniversary party was not just held yesterday, it will be open over the next few days, so it’s no problem for them to go there in the evening.
"Confirmed, it's a member of the research team." The voice on the phone was Shirakawa Qing's gentle voice.
The man with glasses who was killed in yesterday's train bombing was a member of the organization.
When she heard the news, Qingshui Jing was a little surprised.
Based on the intelligence obtained by the police at the scene, the purpose of the two mysterious men who exchanged the suitcases was obvious. They just wanted to get rid of the man with glasses, so they specially planned the explosion.
Is this a personal vendetta? Or is it directed at the organization?
"Is there anything worth noting?" asked Qingshui Jing.
"Hmm... I don't think so." Bai Heqing thought for a moment and replied: "If I have to say, he and Shirley once participated in the research of that project together..."
The research group's project, and it can also be related to Shirley... Qingshui Jing instantly understood what Shirakawa Qing meant.
"Of course, after Shirley disappeared, the research project was quickly stopped. Researchers who participated in it but were not involved in the core content were basically reassigned to other projects. The man with glasses yesterday was one of them."
"Do you need me to come back and help with the investigation?" After a moment of silence, Qingshui Jing asked.
She had a vague feeling that this matter might not be that simple.
"Ah, that's not necessary."
Bai Heqing directly rejected her proposal and said, "After all, I promised to give you a day off these two days, so just go and have fun...
Judging from the current situation, there is nothing to pay too much attention to. We will follow the police investigation. Of course, I will also ask Xiaoqin to investigate the whereabouts of the two mysterious people you saw. "
"Yes." Qing Shuijing nodded without insisting.
"Okay, that's it." On the other end of the phone, Bai Heqing yawned and hung up.
"Brother-in-law!"
Just then, the two Suzuki sisters also walked out of the gate and waved to her.
Putting away her mobile phone and lowering the car window, Qing Shuijing looked at the two of them, her eyes resting on Suzuki Ayako. The two met their eyes and nodded to each other.
