Chapter 2933 2945 [Uzo Late Night Class]
Officer Sato was very relieved when he heard what they said: "Then we only need to search the other side of the car - the workload is greatly reduced. You are a great help."
Mao Lilan smiled embarrassedly, and Suzuki Sonoko raised her chin: "Don't be polite, it's my duty!" Detectives and police are all family, and of course the beautiful detective assistant is also one family!
Officer Sato organized his men and prepared to search that half of the train for the murderer's possible hiding place.
Jiang Xia stood by patiently and considerately gave his colleague some time to hide the gun.
Not long after, Mist Tengu flew back and muttered something to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia responded, then turned to Officer Sato and said, "Speaking of which, the Shinkansen passes through more than one tunnel along the way. If a passerby happens to occupy that restroom, this plan will not be possible.
"So I think that before Chizo Ogura went to the bathroom, the murderer must have surveyed the terrain in advance. After confirming that the bathroom was empty and the plan could be carried out, he sent a signal to Chizo Ogura in some way, suggesting that he planned to start."
Miwako Sato nodded as she listened and asked Officer Takagi, "Takagi, did you notice anything unusual after I left? You were sitting with Chizo Ogura at that time, and you probably could have seen the signals he could receive."
"This..." Officer Takagi tapped his head and thought hard, "Except that Chizo Ogura insisted on going to the toilet, there seems to be no other abnormality."
As he was speaking, he caught a glimpse of Conan who was hesitant to speak, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He slammed his palm and said, "Right! Speaking of this, before Ogura Chizo asked to go to the toilet, it seemed that three people walked past from the aisle. Conan was just about to run at that time and almost bumped into them, so I have some impression."
"Ah! I remember it too." Mao Lilan also remembered the scene when Conan was suppressed. "Those three passengers were all men, and they seemed to be holding something in their hands... Could that be the signal they sent to Ogura Chizo?"
Suzuki Sonoko glanced at Conan and said, "I didn't expect that this naughty kid would accidentally help us remember the key person."
Vodka looked at Conan meaningfully: "..." Haha.
Jiang Xia was talking to the ghosts when he suddenly felt a cool scent of vanilla floating beside him.
He turned around, a little surprised: "Why are you here?" Didn't Officer Sato just ask all the passengers to return to their seats to facilitate the investigation?
Vodka tried hard to put on a simple and honest expression, trying to fit in with the detective team: "..." Why else? Of course, it was because he didn't want to stay with Calvados.
"Right now, that guy is busy hiding his gun and has no time to deal with an innocent passerby like me. When the gun is hidden and lost later..." Vodka sighed inwardly, "I'm really worried that he won't be able to hold back and will take his anger out on me, and then drag me down to die together. Compared to that uncontrollable guy, it's safer to be with the police and the director."
As an innocent passerby living under Uzo's shadow, he didn't want to have nothing to do but make enemies with others, let alone stay around that person after making an enemy.
So, no matter how reluctant he was, his reason told him that he had to hide here first - Tokyo was not far away anyway, and as long as he gritted his teeth and endured for an hour or two, he could return to the arms of his big brother Gin.
Officer Takagi noticed the commotion here and explained, "Mr. Yamada was worried that we were short of manpower and wanted to come over to help. I thought he had been involved in many cases before, so I asked him to stay."
After he finished speaking, he was suddenly startled: Wait, why should I report this to Jiang Xia? ——Strictly speaking, from the perspective of identity alone, Jiang Xia and Mr. Yamada don’t seem to be much different…
Thinking of this, Officer Takagi, who had just made a big mistake, couldn't help but secretly look at Sato Miwako.
When he found out that Sato Miwako had no objection to the high school students and Mr. Yamada infiltrating the staff, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued with his current work.
Next to her, Officer Sato had no time to think that Jiang Xia was unreasonable in the situation. Her attention was focused on the three "suspicious persons" who passed by the deceased and Officer Takagi.
——It is much easier to check three suspicious guys than to search half a Shinkansen train. The detective's brain is more useful than a hundred times the manpower.
She questioned several witnesses: "What did those three people look like? What were they holding in their hands? - Don't worry, just say whatever comes to mind."
When asked for more detailed information, Officer Takagi and the two high school girls were confused. Conan jumped off the seat and tried to escape, but he almost bumped into a passerby's leg. Fortunately, he was caught by Mao Lilan in time. So their attention was actually on Conan.
As for the three passers-by...
Seeing that the task of narrowing down the suspect was about to reach a deadlock, Conan said: "There were three uncles passing by. They didn't seem to know each other. Two of them were holding newspapers, and the other was holding a can of coffee."
Officer Sato looked relieved: "If you see those three people, can you recognize them?"
Conan nodded: "Of course!"
Vodka looked at the boy's confident appearance and couldn't help but imagine a picture in his mind: late at night, in a quiet room, Uzo pulled out a whiteboard from the corner of the room, unfolded a pointer and pointed at the photos on it one by one.
In front of the whiteboard, a primary school student looked at the pictures carefully with eyes wide open, and memorized the three faces firmly in his mind...
…
The fake elementary school student really has a memory that is almost photographic.
Soon, the three passengers were called away from their respective carriages and gathered in the crew room.
"A man was stabbed to death in the toilet?" Hearing this, two of the three men were at a loss, while the other one who lived in Mihua quickly reacted and slammed the table angrily, "Then go find the murderer, why are you looking for me? - Do you suspect that I am the murderer!"
Officer Gao Mu was overwhelmed by his arrogance and had to slow down his tone and humbly explain: "Because before the deceased was killed, only the three of you passed by his seat, so we suspect that someone secretly sent him a signal and guided him to the bathroom."
Sato Miwako also said: "If you don't mind, please tell me why you were walking in the corridor at that time. This will help us eliminate the suspects more quickly and help us catch the real murderer. The train will take some time to arrive in Tokyo, and you don't want to stay with a brutal murderer all the time."
