Although the young police officer was young, he seemed to be a team leader. He directed several other people to notify the three suspects to come to the elevator where the incident occurred.
Normally, you could go back after you finish restoring the computer surveillance. However, in order to observe Igarashi again, and to worry that they really discovered some of Kitagawa's secret actions, you still followed the crowd and walked here silently.
The first two men came back with a middle-aged woman dressed elegantly and a young man with purple hair.
"Why do you suspect me? I don't even know that person." The young man shouted all the way, "I made an appointment with my friends to go to Mount Fuji today."
"Okay, be quiet. What's the point of talking so much?" The middle-aged woman said slowly, "The police are just doing their job. Who made us appear in the surveillance video at an inappropriate time?"
The young man curled his lips, but said nothing more.
The third policeman came running over from a distance, panting and shouting, "Captain——!"
"What's wrong?" the young police officer turned around and asked.
The police officer ran over and gasped for a few breaths, then answered incoherently: "That, that suspect...he committed suicide!"
"Why?!!"
Everyone hurried to the third suspect's room, the door of which was wide open (the police officer just now said that because no one responded when he knocked on the door, he asked the hotel management for the room card to open the door).
The first thing I saw when I stepped in was a man in a suit hanging in the air, with the breath of death surrounding him and a half-thick rope wrapped around his neck.
"!" The young police officer was shocked, "Hanging himself? Why would this happen!"
The middle-aged woman covered her face: "Oh, my God."
The purple-haired man chirped, "Oh, I think he is the murderer. Did he commit suicide out of fear of punishment?"
"He committed suicide in a suit. That's really formal." Uncle Maori touched his chin.
Conan narrowed his eyes and wanted to go forward to take a closer look, but was stopped by Uncle Maori: "What are you going to do, little brat?"
“Wow!”
The young police officer directed his team members to film the scene, and then slowly let the hanged man in a suit down.
"..." Jinpei Matsuda walked over, half squatted down, and stared at the neck after the rope was untied.
The purple mark is the whip of death, which takes away people's breath and life.
You also walked forward a few steps and saw the purple marks.
...It couldn't be Beichuan, you thought silently in your heart. He was definitely strong enough to strangle someone to death.
And then pretend it was suicide...?
The time you and Matsuda went to Blue Snow Villa together, Matsuda felt Beichuan's pinching, and you believe he should also know that guy's extraordinary strength.
But normally you wouldn't just doubt it...it happened so long ago. You looked up at Matsuda's back again.
Igarashi was still lazily leaning against the side of the room. You caught a glimpse of him with his eyes half closed.
Very good, now everyone's attention is drawn to each other... We must contact Beichuan now. You think.
Taking a few steps back, you minimize your presence. You pull out your phone and start tapping away.
【Did you take action? 】
As soon as you pressed the send button, a head popped up beside you, with semi-long gray hair hanging down and lightly brushing your shoulders.
"Hey? Watanabe-san is awesome, are you still helping to watch the surveillance video and find the murderer?"
"!" You were so scared that you almost threw your phone away, but luckily you were quick enough to turn off the screen.
How come there is no sound when the other person comes close to me!? Wasn't he just taking a nap!?
The eyes of the crowd turned to you again, and you continued to put on a fake smile: "Ah... I wanted to check it out, but I felt that I couldn't do it without permission. It seemed like I was overstepping my authority, so I backed out."
"How can it be considered as overstepping my authority to help find the murderer?" Igarashi smiled with a smile on his handsome face. "If you find it, I would be very grateful to you."
“……”This guy——!
You tightened your grip on your phone.
"Ah, are there any other valuable surveillance videos?" the young police officer came over and asked.
"..." You lowered your eyes and smiled, "If you need, I can try again."
"Then I'll trouble you." Matsuda stood up from the body of the man in the suit and said sideways, "In addition to searching for the suspect in the elevator, please also check the videos near this room."
"Hey? Matsuda, don't you think this man committed suicide?" asked the young police officer.
"...Maybe." Matsuda smiled, "But the main thing is to find the murderer in the elevator. That is a confirmed homicide."
"The reason for checking the video footage near this room is because he is one of the suspects. Now that he is dead and cannot be questioned directly, we can only get information about him from the video."
You kept your smile on and naturally turned on your phone to start working. This time you faced Igarashi, making sure he couldn't sneak up on you from behind.
Your mobile phone has been modified through your own coding. In special cases, the keys on your mobile phone are not in the original alphabetical order above, but a random order that only you know (to prevent others from guessing what you pressed based on the movements and positions of your fingers).
This really worked for you right now. You were sure that neither Igarashi nor anyone else could see the meaning of your actions.
The reply message appears on the screen, and this time Beichuan responds quickly, with just a simple "yeah". You know what to do now.
Your expression remains unchanged as you smoothly complete the video search and screening. In fact, Kitagawa himself is not as straightforward as he appears to be, at least he is not visible in these normal videos.
This is probably not the first time the other party has done this. The organization is always very careful when dealing with people. Since there is no tail in electronic matters, you don't have to worry about it.
You feel relieved, then look up and say, "I have cut out the effective content. How can I send it to you?"
"Send it to my email." The young police officer gave his email address. "Thank you! Fortunately, you have solved a lot of problems and saved a lot of time... It will take another hour for the Information Department to send someone over."
“You’re welcome.” You smiled. “Fighting against darkness is a responsibility.”
Igarashi seemed to chuckle softly beside him, but no one else noticed except you who had been keeping an eye on him.
“…”
Finally they were able to return to the room, and it was now up to Conan and the others to solve the case.
After sitting at the desk for a while, the main thing you are thinking about is this guy Igarashi... I always feel that he knows a lot of things.
Is he testing me? Or is he just chatting?
...Anyway, I'd better open the special mobile comics and forums and take a look to see if there is any useful information in them.
The comics are updated almost synchronously. The man who just committed suicide and the conversation between Igarashi and you are all shown in the comics. Except for Igarashi's chuckle, which is specially marked, there is no more information.
...Okay, now you are sure that guy should know something about you. You just don't know how much he knows.
【#熬丸子#: The classic three-choice game disappeared?! Why did one of them die? (Screaming), is this a case within a case?】
[#想向ト子醬醬釀釀#: Ah... In essence, it's still a choice between the three. Maybe the guy who died was the murderer. But it was really unexpected that he died without even saying anything. 】
[#玉樹临風#: The neck is in close-up! Does it look familiar? 】
[#海鮮柚子#: Purple pinch marks...hiss! Shark-san! The strong Kitagawa Mahaki——yes, he also came to this hotel! ]
【#dollars#: So it can't be without reason, I gave him a close-up shot of him coming to this hotel at the beginning. This case must be related to him! 】
[#冥王sin#: I wonder if Matsuda has any doubts... He seems to have noticed it. Matsuda should still remember that guy. 】
[#团滅即HE#: It's been so long, do you still remember this detail? 】
【#经典雞尾酒#: You must remember it! It's a rare memory of hanging out with Jiang Lai and Xiao Jing Guang. It's impossible to forget it. There will be no chance to do it again in the future. 】
[#梧桐-木瑾年#: Hiss, stop! Stop the knife immediately!! Change the subject——! ]
[#I'm super fierce~#: Watanabe Sheep-kun is so handsome——Too strong! 】
[#棋中月#: I always feel that there is something strange in the interaction between him and Igarashi (thinking), are they guarding against and testing each other? 】
[#寻芳不覺#: I can do both of them!! They are both computer experts hehehe——and their identities seem very mysterious. 】
【#齐素#: Add one plus one! According to the last episode, Igarashi's identity should be relatively important, and he would not reveal it to ordinary people... Could he be some secret police officer?】
【#鹿鹿日更新过万#: Then this time, this time is the Public Security Bureau testing HLJ? Watanabe should be HLJ! 】
【#秦烈#: I hit it, I hit it, I'm fine again! Isn't this kind of tense CP that is both enemy and friend and equally good great? 】
【#小露涵#: But Watanabe could also be a bar... He seemed to come with Shark Tooth. 】
【#佚#:HLJ is a secretive person, who knows who he is on the surface. To be honest, when he says he is a good person, it is just one-sided.】
【#青雀#: Eh? But didn’t HLJ help the Police Department arrest many criminals and shut down the organization’s website? 】
[#禦坂9982号#: You can act it out. Once HLJ gains enough trust, you can infiltrate the Red Team. 】
[#莫尹盼#: Hiss, it's terrible...!! If it's true, Matsuda and Xiao Jingguang are really miserable. And Jiang Lai just used them and threw them away, wuwuwuwuwu——]
[#爱你喲#: It seems that Igarashi knows more than Watanabe! In this case...]
[#白月汐#: When the strength is equal, the inequality in information becomes the factor that determines the advantage or disadvantage. 】
“…” That’s right. You narrow your eyes.
It's hard to say who is stronger, but the inequality of information is definitely the gap between you and Igarashi at the moment.
