Chapter 2451 2463 [Angel Mao Lilan]

Facing the police's suspicious gaze, Vodka made an indescribable cry in his heart.

He seriously considered the possibility of breaking out of the encirclement and climbing out the window like Spider-Man, but then he realized with great regret that he didn't seem to have that kind of skill.

In the end, the ordinary Mr. Yamada skillfully chose to endure.

"Look at it from a bright side. Although this will expose my true appearance, it will only be shown to others and will not be photographed."

Vodka felt that the mysterious image of his organization was being forced to collapse bit by bit. He tried to comfort himself: "Besides, the eldest brother didn't wear sunglasses. He wasn't even afraid of leaving traces of hair loss. What does this mean? This means that the truly strong don't need to care about such details. Even if they show their faces, they won't be caught."

Thinking of this, Vodka walked into the ward with a tragic look on his face and took off his sunglasses in front of the woman on the bed.

"!" Conan didn't expect to have such a gain today. He walked forward quickly, wanting to see the man's true face after taking off his sunglasses... However, when he finally squeezed through the narrow door of the ward and rushed to the bed, Vodka had already pushed his sunglasses back.

Conan: “…”

He turned to look at the woman on the hospital bed: "..." Hurry up, say you didn't see it clearly and ask to see it again!

However, he only saw the woman's slightly shocked expression. After a second, Sakihara Hui came back to her senses. She looked at the police and said firmly, "It's not him."

Conan: “…”

...So what does this guy look like? Let me see!

He wanted to make a loud request like this, but he was worried about exposing his identity, so he had to endure it.

Next to her, Mao Lilan looked at the vodka, then at the portrait, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Xia, who was busy sorting out the ice cream, noticed the unusual movement of his classmates. He asked in a good mood, "What's wrong?"

Mao Lilan hesitated and said, "Speaking of which, when I went to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a statement last week, I saw a person who looked very much like Mr. Yamada in the file that Officer Chiba was in charge of. I was surprised and talked to Sonoko for a few words at the time, so I have a vague impression of him."

Jiang Xia: "...Take notes?" When did it happen? Did you get into trouble again behind my back?

But thinking about the fact that he didn't go to school often, and his schedule didn't overlap much with his two classmates, he could only sigh and stop thinking about what had happened: "You mean..."

Mao Lilan nodded: "In fact, when the explosion happened just now, I was standing relatively far back, and I did vaguely hear the sound of an engine behind me. So... maybe that car belongs to Mr. Yamada, and the man who almost hit us before is the real suspect who planted the bomb?"

Vodka was stunned when he heard this, and then he was moved: he didn't expect that there were still good people around Uzo, he was right about this high school girl!

Jiang Xia thought for a moment: "Now that you mention it, I do have some impression of it."

Vodka turned his head and looked at him: "......?" What's going on? Something is wrong. What conspiracy do you have? !

"The case that Chiba was in charge of last week?" Officer Takagi, who was standing by, suddenly thought of something when he heard what Mao Lilan said. "Was it the robbery and murder case that happened in Shinjuku?"

"?" Jiang Xia, "What happened in Shinjuku last week?"

He suddenly realized that he had not yet fully explored Tokyo. In addition to Beika-cho, he should visit more places elsewhere.

Seeing that Jiang Xia was interested in the case, Officer Takagi quickly explained, "Just last week, a knife robbery occurred in Shinjuku. The woman who was robbed died. The victim's family member who contacted the police at the time was her husband... If you think about it carefully, the portrait of the bomb suspect today does look a lot like the victim's husband."

Vodka: "..." Why didn't you say so earlier! You policemen have really colluded with that little bitch, right?

The angry Mr. Yamada silently took a step back, and while the police had a new topic, he silently reduced his presence.

"In that case, why don't we pull up the file of that case and see what's going on?" The righteous detective stepped forward to administer justice. He turned back to look at Vodka and said, "To be on the safe side, Mr. Yamada should stay as well. It's not that I doubt you, but the sooner we understand the whole story, the sooner you can get rid of suspicion."

Conan nodded secretly: "..." That's right! If we can find out Vodka's flaws during this time and keep him in the hands of the police forever, the situation will be even better...

Thinking of this wonderful scene, he couldn't help but smile. At this moment, the fake elementary school student suddenly relaxed and noticed a hidden sight.

"?!" He raised his head and met Vodka's gloomy gaze.

Conan: “…”

Conan quickly acted like a little fanboy: "Although I didn't quite understand, what Brother Jiang Xia said is right!"

Vodka: "..." This little bastard who was in cahoots with Uzo...

…

No matter how reluctant Mr. Yamada was, the police finally decisively adopted the plan proposed by Jiang Xia.

Not long after, the relevant files of the robbery and murder case in Shinjuku District were transferred over.

"This is the husband of the lady who was murdered."

The photo of the deceased's husband and today's sketch of the bombing suspect were placed together. When the two were compared, the situation became clear: "They really look alike! Unlike Mr. Yamada, the person in this photo even has the same hairstyle and eyes as the sketch!"

Vodka pushed up his sunglasses and pretended not to hear the discussion about himself.

His low profile paid off, and the police's attention was indeed shifted to another person first.

Officer Sato looked through the files and introduced the case to everyone. She pointed to the man in the photo and said, "This gentleman is Takahashi Hongchang, he is 33 years old and works in a chemical pharmaceutical company.

"Last week night, his wife went shopping at a convenience store. On the way home, she was stabbed by a gangster and died of excessive blood loss."

She took out another photo, which showed a gentle and quiet woman with her hair in a bun. "This is the victim, Takahashi Sachiko, 27 years old, a full-time housewife."

As she spoke, Sato Miwako frowned, "Although we are currently investigating in the direction of robbery and nighttime murder, there is one thing that is actually very suspicious.

"——The deceased Mrs. Takahashi had a high-value insurance policy, and the beneficiary was her husband. According to our investigation, her husband, Mr. Takahashi, had recently incurred a lot of debts."

Jiang Xia: "In other words, Mr. Takahashi has a motive to kill his wife to defraud insurance?"

Officer Sato nodded, then sighed helplessly: "But the problem is that when the case happened, Mr. Takahashi had a very solid alibi."
