Chapter 1778 1785 [Choose one of the three murderers of the congressman] Ask for monthly vote o(〃'▽'〃)o
Inspector Megure is indeed a veteran worker who has handled countless murders. He quickly cheered up:
"Speaking of which, besides the bad news just now, I have a good news here. I found two suspects. They may have a grudge against President Ishimoto, so they teamed up with hackers to assassinate him. I have called all the suspects to the banquet hall. Why don't you come over and help me with the advice now?"
…
Although Inspector Megure will never be able to find the real murderer, his efficiency in identifying suspects is impeccable.
Jiang Xia took Conan to the banquet hall, ready to start the three-choice game. On the way, he remembered that he was so overwhelmed by the smooth series of clues given by Inspector Megure that he forgot to tell him the clues he found in the abandoned building, so he quickly sent another message to supplement it.
The taxi crossed the wilderness and the city and finally stopped in front of the banquet hall where the shooting took place last night.
Jiang Xia entered the banquet hall and took a quick look, and found that the people here were mainly divided into two groups.
On one side were several familiar policemen, who were whispering something with serious faces.
On the other side stood a few familiar passers-by - they were the people involved in this shooting case. Even President Ishimoto was brought here because the economic investigation was suspended due to the priority of the murder case.
Jiang Xia nodded from a distance to the president and his secretary with whom he had spent the night, and went to Inspector Megure.
…
Inspector Megure waved to Jiang Xia and looked at the suspects who had a lot of social resources.
Perhaps he was afraid of being blackmailed by these big shots, so he waited until Jiang Xia approached him before asking in a low voice: "Didn't you go to the hospital with Mr. Ishimoto and his secretary last night? When did the secretary leave the ward?"
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "Last night we left the banquet hall and headed for the hospital. She passed away more than ten minutes after we arrived at the ward, and she didn't come back until this morning."
"As expected." Inspector Megure puffed on his unlit pipe, his eyes becoming sharp. "That is to say, she had no alibi for the entire night, and she had the time to silence the hacker."
Conan was startled: "The other kind of footprints you found in the abandoned building, could it be left by a woman?"
Miwako Sato poured Jiang Xia a cup of tea, sat over and said, "Judging from the stride, it looks more like a man, but the footprints were deliberately disguised - the accomplice who murdered the hacker actually wore shoe covers and was very careful not to leave any valuable sole patterns, so we can't rule out that clues such as the stride were also disguised."
Inspector Megure touched his pocket, took out a photo and placed it on the table: "In addition, this person is also a big suspect. If the secretary is really the murderer who murdered President Ishimoto and accidentally killed the congressman, then this person should be her motive for killing President Ishimoto."
Jiang Xia looked down and saw a tall man with dark skin in the photo. This should be a candid photo. The man in the photo was obviously not very cooperative and turned his head to walk to the side. When he turned his head, the iconic braid on the back of his head was suddenly exposed.
Conan was startled. He looked up at Jiang Xia, then looked at the suspect on the other side of the banquet hall from afar: Isn't this the man who had a secret meeting with the secretary in the game room last night, and who just rummaged through President Ishimoto's office!
"This is Shibata Kenichi, the secretary's boyfriend." Inspector Megure sighed, "Although he looks like a gangster, he was actually a young master of a small company. But later his father committed suicide and his family fell into poverty."
This background sounded very familiar, Jiang Xia asked: "Is his father's matter related to President Ishimoto?"
Inspector Megure nodded. "It is said that the company he managed was squeezed out by President Ishimoto. Since then, Shibata has hated Mr. Ishimoto. It is not impossible that the secretary will cooperate with him to get revenge."
As she was speaking, Sato Miwako's phone suddenly vibrated and she received an email.
She clicked it and took a look, then forwarded it to Jiang Xia: "The evidence you asked the police to find just now has been obtained by the Forensic Department."
After saying this, the equally experienced female police officer looked at Jiang Xia and couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile: "Let me guess, will I be able to get off work soon?"
Inspector Megure cleared his throat: "..." How unreserved! How can you say such a thing directly! There are still some media outside who have not dispersed. At least they should pretend to be professional...
…
On the other side, seeing them chatting happily, several suspects felt a little uncomfortable.
Congressman Takata's secretary looked down at his watch, pushed up his glasses, and said to them, "You know how much work I have to do today just after the congressman passed away."
The secretary's boyfriend didn't seem to be a gentle person either: "What does this case have to do with me? Just because I have a grudge against that guy? There are so many people who have grudges against him!"
The female secretary quickly comforted him: "Don't say that, it's just routine cooperation, it will be over soon."
Jiang Xia looked at them and found that he seemed to have squeezed out most of the murderous aura from them.
So he didn't wait any longer, but stood up and walked over: "There was a little incident, but the case will be solved soon."
President Ishimoto was a little distracted. Seeing Jiang Xia approaching, he scratched his head in confusion: "Didn't they just say that the case was closed? The hacker who blackmailed me killed me and then ran to an abandoned building to hide, but unfortunately slipped and fell to his death. Isn't that right?"
Jiang Xia looked at the president who had brought him a lot of fun, and said patiently: "There were actually two murderers in the shooting case. The hacker did not fall to his death in the abandoned building by mistake, but was killed by his companions. He was not even the mastermind of the shooting. The real murderer behind the scenes just wanted to use his death to end the investigation of the case."
"Then this matter has nothing to do with me." Pigtail suddenly spoke up, "I know why the police are looking for me - I did come to the venue last night, and I do have a grudge against Ishimoto, but I don't know the hacker at all. Besides, I have a night shift at the izakaya, and I worked all night yesterday. My colleagues and regular customers can testify for me. I don't have time to do anything evil like silencing my accomplices."
Jiang Xia looked him up and down and said, "I didn't say you were the murderer. But speaking of part-time jobs, don't you think being a detective is more interesting than working in a pub?"
The braided boy was originally full of fighting spirit against the police, but when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Ah?"
"Ahem!" Inspector Megure quickly cleared his throat and secretly reminded Jiang Xia not to go off topic. Although he didn't know why Jiang Xia was so persistent in persuading people to become detectives, now was the time to solve the case.
