Chapter 273: Serial Kidnapping and Murder of Young Girls
Jiang Xia nodded: "The management officer of the First Investigation Division." Inspector Megure's immediate superior.
No matter from which perspective, he had an impression of the name "Matsumoto Kiyonaga".
——From the perspective of a current detective, as a frequent visitor to the Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Xia once met Matsumoto Kiyonaga, but they didn't have much interaction.
From the perspective of a "prophet" who has mastered the spoilers, Jiang Xia remembered that Matsumoto Kiyonaga was also a very unlucky person, and several cases had happened around him.
One of the incidents was when his daughter got married. On the wedding day, the future son-in-law poured sodium hydroxide into his daughter's drink and poisoned his wife.
...Wait, my daughter is getting married?
Thinking of this, and connecting it to today's part-time job - helping a wedding company, Jiang Xia suddenly guessed the purpose of Amuro Toru taking this odd job.
He should be brought here to slack off... No, he should be brought here to complete tasks for the organization.
The content of the mission may be to collect information related to Matsumoto Kiyonaga.
Compared to the heavily guarded Metropolitan Police Department, it is easier to get information in this kind of private setting.
Seeing that Jiang Xia knew Matsumoto Kiyonaga, Toru Amuro did not explain further and continued, "Matsumoto Kiyonaga has a daughter named Matsumoto Sayuri. She is one of the protagonists of today's wedding and also our client - you should be more familiar with her than Matsumoto Kiyonaga."
Jiang Xia paused for a moment and agreed with this statement.
Sayuri Matsumoto was Jiang Xia Tongzhi's music teacher in junior high school. In fact, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and they only had a few classes together: after all, Jiang Xia Tongzhi, like Jiang Xia, was also a habitual truant who was often absent from class and often skipped serious classes, let alone music classes.
However, Jiang Xia did not explain these details to his boss who had been very active recently. He knew that to Toru Amuro, these were actually unimportant - As for other tasks, Toru Amuro still had to investigate them seriously to prevent the organization from discovering that he was slacking off.
As for this kind of information concerning the internal police, Toru Amuro can draw it however he wants. He only needs to ask his subordinates in the public security department to help him check the information, and then act alone for a period of time during the investigation, and then he can release some of the intelligence in his hands as appropriate, pretending that he has worked hard... The joy of being an undercover agent in the science department is so simple and unpretentious.
In Amuro Toru's opinion, this mission is related to Sayuri Matsumoto, and then to Jiang Xia. So theoretically speaking, he can get in touch with Sayuri Matsumoto through Jiang Xia, and then get in touch with Kiyonaga Matsumoto... In short, this is a mission that is very suitable for helping Jiang Xia improve his performance and avoid him being targeted by the organization because of excessive slacking.
Of course Jiang Xia would not refuse.
It may be difficult to get the soul in this wave, but you can definitely pick up some murderous aura.
…
The wedding company's car was quite old, bumpy and noisy.
After a while, Toru Amuro couldn't help but frown, and he regretted very much not driving his own car over.
However, the car is already on the road and time is tight, so there is no time for him to change the car.
I had no choice but to drive this old car to several places to pick up the custom-made items for the wedding.
I picked up the items on the list provided by the wedding company one by one, and soon, only the last item was left.
Toru Amuro parked the car on the side of the road, got out with Jiang Xia, and went to move a set of specially made folding wreaths.
The two crossed the street and entered the company across the road.
Not long after, in the Beika Park next to the car, Ayumi Yoshida walked through the park gate and ran out stealthily.
——She was playing hide-and-seek with her fellow detectives. She was almost found by Yuanta just now. Now she escaped in a hurry and was eager to find another hiding place. Children are very serious when playing games and don't want to lose.
Ayumi Yoshida stood on the street, looking around carefully, looking for a new hiding place.
When she saw the colorful car next to her with a wedding advertisement painted on it, her brows suddenly lit up - the trunk of the car was loosely fastened.
Hidden here, no one will find it.
Yoshida Ayumi ran over happily, climbed in, and closed the lid again.
There were some miscellaneous items piled in the trunk, and the remaining space was not large, but it was more than enough for a thin first-grade elementary school girl.
Ayumi Yoshida quickly found a gap. After she lay down, she grabbed a piece of cloth to cover herself, feeling that the chances of being found were a little smaller.
Ayumi got up very early today. She ran and jumped all morning while playing hide-and-seek with her friends and was now a little tired.
She originally just wanted to hide in the trunk for a while, but she yawned unconsciously and fell asleep leaning against the sundries.
…
Not long after, two workers returned to the car carrying a folding flower tray that was not too heavy but quite large.
Toru Amuro did not open the trunk, but directly opened the rear door - the remaining space in the trunk was not enough to fit this huge round prop, so it had to be placed in the car.
Once all the props are delivered to the destination, we won't have to drive this annoying little car anymore... Toru Amuro breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this. He closed the car door and got in with Jiang Xia.
The two drove straight to the wedding venue.
…
Rice Flower Park.
During the game of hide-and-seek, Genta, who was in charge of finding people, successively picked out Conan who was hiding on the legs of a passerby, Mitsuhiko who was hiding in the bushes, and Haibara Ai who was completely unmotivated and was reading a book perfunctorily behind a tree.
However, he still couldn't find Ayumi.
Conan yawned at the gathering place, looked at Genta who was looking for someone everywhere, and checked his watch: "Let's stop here for today, I have something else to do in the afternoon."
In the morning, he found Mao Lilan packing up to go out. When he asked, he found out that Sayuri Matsuda's wedding was in the afternoon.
Conan used to have a good relationship with Mr. Matsumoto, so he decided to go over and take a look. Although he couldn't greet the teacher as Kudo Shinichi, he still wanted to join in this memorable event.
Conan had to leave the hide-and-seek team because of something. Seeing this, Haibara Ai took the opportunity to suggest that she should go home.
With fewer people around, the fun of hide-and-seek decreased. The children discussed it and decided to find Ayumi Yoshida, who was hiding somewhere, first, and then go home.
However, after searching for a while, several people could not find Ayumi at all.
Conan looked at the empty park and gradually remembered one thing - when he was playing hide-and-seek just now, when he was hiding next to a passerby, he accidentally glanced at the newspaper in the passerby's hand.
The above was a report about a serial kidnapping and murder case. The case has not been solved yet, and there are already four victims, all little girls of Ayumi's age.
Could it be that...
Conan's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously rushed out of the park to find someone.
