Bang!
When gunshots were heard, Conan and Hattori Heiji, who were squatting near the safe escape exit checking for clues, both startled and raised their heads to look upstairs.
"Something happened again!"
Without any hesitation, Conan and the other person immediately rushed out of the safe escape exit and came to the toilet outside the main monitoring room.
The men's restroom was crowded with people, and every staff member of the Mihua City Hall had a heavy face and eyes full of fear.
"Make way, make way!"
Pushing through the crowd, Conan and Hattori successfully entered the toilet where the cordon had not yet been set up, and found Sakaki Makoto, Takagi Wataru and others.
At this moment, Makoto Sakaki was squatting in front of a toilet cubicle, examining the body of Thomas Sindorah.
"He was shot in the back of the head and died instantly. There were no other external injuries..."
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Sakaki Makoto looked back, picked up the phone tightly held in the corpse's hand with an expressionless face, called up the call record, and said:
"The last call was two minutes ago, from the other party, whose number was hidden... Based on the time when the gunshots were heard, the deceased was talking to someone before his death, and the bullet went through the glass of the toilet cubicle where he was, hitting Thomas Sindolla in the back of the head."
There were messy glass fragments scattered on the ground, and there was no doubt that this was a murder case.
No one expected...
Chairman Sindora, who was a well-known figure in the U.S. IT industry, died in a public toilet of only 3 square meters.
There is no dispute that the criminal's modus operandi was simple and crude. He fired a shot outside the window and killed Thomas Sindoora in the toilet.
The other party was here to kill and silence the witnesses, as for whether they would be discovered...
It doesn't matter at all.
"Takagi!!!"
The late Megure Jusan finally arrived with his subordinates including Sato Miwako.
Without further ado, Megure Jusan grabbed Takagi Wataru's collar and roared:
“What the hell is going on!!!”
"Why was Thomas Sindorah shot?!"
"M...Memu Police Department..."
Takagi Shigeru didn't dare look his boss in the eye. He lowered his head and said dejectedly:
"It's all my fault. I didn't think highly of Thomas Sindorah..."
"What's the point of saying this now!"
Megure Juzo let go of Takagi Wataru and called in Detective Tomi from the Forensic Identification Division to investigate the scene for clues.
In fact, Megure Juzo also knew that Takagi Wataru could not be blamed entirely for this matter.
Strictly speaking, the police have to follow procedures when doing their work. Thomas Sintra is at best a suspect. The police can ask him to assist in the investigation, but they cannot prevent him from even using the toilet.
Taking a step back, if the suspect goes to the toilet, do the police still have to watch him?
The charges against Thomas Sintra were not yet extremely serious.
"Takagi, what was the situation like?"
Miwako Sato pressed the ballpoint pen, took out the notebook, and began to record the testimony of the first person to discover the scene:
"Didn't you check the toilet?"
"When a suspect asks to go to the toilet, police officers must carefully check the surroundings to ensure safety... You should have learned this in the police academy."
"Officer Sato..."
His mouth drooped, and Takagi Wataru was about to cry out of grievance:
"I checked it, and I checked it very carefully..."
"I asked Thomas Sindoula to wait outside the toilet and I went into the toilet alone to check. After confirming that no one was there, I let Thomas Sindoula in. As soon as he came in, he went straight to the only cubicle with a window. Before I could stop him, he had already locked the door."
"I thought he just picked one randomly because he couldn't hold it anymore. After all, the window in the toilet is very small and an adult can't climb through it. And this is the 15th floor..."
"Uh-huh."
While taking notes, Sato Miwako nodded:
"Have you been guarding outside the cubicle?"
"Yes, in order to prevent Thomas Sindorah from escaping by using the gap above the compartment, we specially opened the doors of the compartments on both sides, and the three of us stayed there all the time."
“Did any stranger enter the toilet during this time?”
"No."
"Are there any unusual phenomena before and after the gunshots?"
"this..."
Gao Mushi recalled carefully and said:
"When Thomas Sindorah went to the bathroom, we could clearly hear him talking on the phone with someone in English, speaking very quickly, as if they were arguing..."
Although Takagi Wataru knew some English, it didn't mean he could understand the speed Thomas Sintra used when arguing.
"You didn't confiscate his phone?"
The police officers of the First Investigation Division, including Sato Miwako, all looked at him in a very strange manner.
According to standard procedures, the suspect is not allowed to communicate with the outside world before he is cleared of suspicion, unless there is an appropriate reason and an application is required.
"I...I confiscated it..."
Takagi Shige's face turned red:
“But he also has a cell phone…”
"When I heard him on the phone, I was about to go forward to warn him, but then I heard gunshots mixed with broken glass..."
"Then what?"
"Then I broke open the door and saw the body of Thomas Sintra..."
"Takagi..."
Hearing this, Megure Jusan couldn't help but sigh in despair:
"I overestimated your ability..."
His cheeks flushed red, and Takagi Shigeru couldn't say a word in rebuttal.
The sudden death of Thomas Sintra disrupted everyone's rhythm.
