The afternoon sun came into the house with the breeze, and the white gauze curtains like paint danced enchantingly.
Yusaku Kudo sat behind the table, took a pen, and wrote elegant words in small regular script on the manuscript paper.
Even after returning to Tokyo, he still did not give up his work and continued to create every day.
After writing for a while, he heard the sound of brakes coming from downstairs, so he put down his pen, picked up the coffee beside him, and savored the bitterness spreading in his mouth.
Boom boom boom!
"Come in."
The door opened, and Megure Jusan hurried in, saying impatiently:
"Yusaku, something happened in Osaka! There is a group of bombers who have blown up the Tower of the Sun in the Expo '70 Memorial Park. The Osaka Prefectural Police called and asked the Metropolitan Police Department to cooperate in the investigation!"
"Osaka?"
Kudo Yusaku raised his eyelids and put down the coffee cup:
"Isn't that Heizo's territory? With him here, can't we catch a few bombers?"
"According to them, the situation this time is different. There are five criminals in total. The three suspects responsible for planting the bomb in Osaka have been arrested. The remaining two, one named Kurosaki Shinya, is currently in Tokyo, and the other named Kurosaki Tatsuya went to Okinawa this morning. If Osaka wants to solve the case, they must act across cities."
“No wonder.”
Kudo Yusaku nodded and understood why Hattori Heizo asked him for help.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. This explosion seemed to have taken place in Osaka, but the real mastermind behind it was hiding in Tokyo. Hattori Heizo was the only one who could catch them if he didn't care about time. But he had to apply to his superiors first. After all, Osaka is far away from Tokyo, and he can't just rush into Tokyo with a group of people to catch people!
This is how the police work. Police in each city are only responsible for cases within their jurisdiction. If a criminal runs to another city, they need to jointly investigate the case. They must not act on their own and arrest people across borders without even saying hello.
"What is the prisoner's message?"
Of course, Kudo Yusaku would not be so stupid as to follow Megure Jusan around without asking any questions. He knew that if he did so, he would most likely be led astray by Megure Jusan.
Hattori Heizo was obviously aware of this, so he specifically asked Kudo Yusaku for help.
"Hmm... Osaka Prefecture said that Kurosaki Shinya must have kidnapped a little girl. He threatened an innocent woman to go to Osaka Prefecture and detonated a homemade bomb placed in a suitcase."
"What suitcase?"
"A limited edition LV box. It seems to have been released just last month."
Kudo Yusaku pondered for a moment, picked up his phone and dialed Sakaki Makoto.
"What?"
As soon as the call was connected, Sakaki Makoto's lazy voice came out, as if he had expected Kudo Yusaku to call.
"Is Hiroki Sawada next to you?"
"certainly."
"I need the sales records of limited edition bags at the LV flagship store for the past month."
"That thing is useless. I've already checked it. Only Kurosaki Tatsuya's girlfriend appears in it. You'll have to go to Kurosaki Tatsuya's house to look for the rest of the information."
"....You are also in Osaka?"
"Standing under the shattered Tower of the Sun, do you want to say hello to Conan?"
"No."
Kudo Yusaku hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
He was really a little confused now.
Why would Makoto Sakaki go to Osaka for no reason?
And with Conan...
Could it be related to the Black Organization?
And since he and Hattori Heizo are both in Osaka, how can they be manipulated by the criminals?
Kudo Yusaku thought for a second, put away his underestimation, and finally became serious.
Although he and Hattori Heizo's reasoning ability is strong, Sakaki Makoto is no pushover either. Not only does he have a large gathering of talented people, he also has "collected" bigwigs from basically all walks of life.
If the criminal cannot be caught even after all this, it can only be said that this case is of great importance.
"We have just found out the whereabouts of the suspects Kurosaki Shinya and Kurosaki Tatsuya."
Megure Jusan asked:
"Kurosaki Shinya is currently in court at the Beika Central Court. It is expected to end in an hour at 2 pm. Although Kurosaki Tatsuya is not in Tokyo, we have already sent people to keep an eye on his girlfriend Kawahara Mami and they can arrest her at any time."
"The key is the whereabouts of the hostages... We currently know nothing about it."
"Does Kurosaki Shinya have a girlfriend?"
"No, he lives alone in a bachelor apartment."
"Divide into two groups. One group will search Kurosaki Shinya's apartment, and the other group will search the residence of Kurosaki Tatsuya's girlfriend."
The conclusion drawn by Kudo Yusaku is the same as that of Hattori Heizo:
"There is no time to lose. Set off immediately and make sure to complete the search before the end of the trial!"
"yes!"
At 1:15 p.m., the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division went out in full force and headed straight for Sumida Ward and Chuo Ward.
In a large supermarket in Sumida District, Kawahara Mimi was walking in the food area with a basket on her shoulder. She looked at the dazzling array of vegetables and selected them. She picked up two onions, thought for a moment, and then put them down, looking conflicted.
"Should I cook curry or sukiyaki tonight?"
She said to herself:
"How about making curry? Um, buy something sweet!"
Kawahara Mimi, who was concentrating on purchasing food, did not notice the two suspicious men in suits behind her. They were hiding behind the shelves, pushing a cart, and staring at the woman who was wandering not far away.
They were of course undercover agents sent by the First Investigation Division. Their purpose was simple: to keep an eye on Kawahara Mimi to prevent her from absconding for fear of crime or doing anything stressful.
