Chapter 3129 3141 [Rum, the source of all evil]
When Hibiki Eri was investigating, Conan was also observing from the side quickly and low-key. Hearing this, he quickly pointed to the trash can beside him like a dedicated supporting actor: "Aunt Eri, there is a piece of waste paper in here!"
As he spoke, relying on his childish status, he squatted down, picked up the paper ball with his gloved hands, and unfolded it carefully out of curiosity.
Curacao looked at the child with a slight wariness.
"Although we have successfully gotten rid of Wuzo, I still feel that things are not that simple." An organization cadre who has experienced too much sighed silently, "Once this is over, I must leave here as soon as possible..."
Thinking of this, looking at the slightly messy crime scene in front of him, Curacao was slightly stunned, and then he realized something belatedly.
——Usui Ritsuko is dead.
And with her death, her mysterious "secret weapon that could defeat Kisaki Eri and successfully turn the tables" naturally disappeared.
"I have already checked her cell phone, computer and all other electronic materials, but there is nothing in them that can help the factory turn around."
"In other words, unless Usui Ritsuko guessed that something would happen to her and left a paper backup at home or in the office in advance, the secret weapon would definitely not be left behind."
Of course, as Rum's confidant, Curacao had already visited all the places that Usui Ritsuko had come into contact with. So strictly speaking, this mission was indeed completed.
And the person who helped her achieve all this was actually...
Curacao: “…”
Although he had not reported these situations to Rum, as an organizational cadre who knew his superior very well and had good reasoning ability, Curacao seemed to have Rum's malicious smile in his mind for an instant.
“…”
She couldn't help but put her head in her hands and covered her face: It was obviously Wuzo who thought those people were interesting, so he wanted to grab them and play with them himself. But in Rum's eyes, this was actually Wuzo's preferential treatment for her...
"I can't believe that guy is so old, but he still has a love-brain that can think about everything in this way." Curacao sighed:
“However, maybe it’s just that Rum is too confident, so he subconsciously interprets the situation as he wants to see.
"Of course, it's also possible that he knew Uzo's true thoughts from the beginning, but in order to win over this valued talent, he deliberately found a plausible excuse and threw me out as bait."
The more he thought about it, the more murderous intent surged in his heart...but in the end, he could only take a deep breath and endure it skillfully.
Next to her, Officer Yokomizo looked at her with a slightly strange look, a little confused.
But soon, he remembered that this lawyer, like himself, was someone who knew the inside story, so he suddenly realized it and lowered his voice to remind him: "Focus on the role! This is the most critical moment, you must not let it get away with it."
“……” When Lawyer Shirai heard this, for some reason, his look became even stranger.
Officer Yokomizo sighed inwardly and could only pray that this unreliable lawyer would sort out his expression before the murderer got here.
At the same time, he considerately moved a step forward and used his tall body to block Kisaki Eri's sight, so as to prevent the clever Queen of Law from noticing anything wrong.
…
"What is this cop doing?"
Inspector Yokomizo's every move was captured by the surveillance camera on the roof and was seen by Vodka.
The vodka has been refilled with new coffee.
At this time, he opened a new bag of potato chips and chewed them while feeling confused about the current situation: "Isn't Wuzo a major suspect in this case? But in the surveillance video in the lobby on the first floor just now, the person who was taken away was not him..."
Although the man being escorted wore a hat and covered his face with a scarf, and it was difficult to see his face clearly from the surveillance camera angle, Vodka had studied Ouzo for a long time and could tell whether it was him or not just by looking at his movements.
- In short, based on his accumulated experience, as soon as the unlucky guy who was taken away by the police appeared in the surveillance video, Vodka immediately confirmed that this was definitely not Uzo.
"Damn it, for such a big hotel, why don't they have full surveillance coverage in the corridors? What happened after Jiang Xia left the room with the group of lawyers?"
While cursing, he looked through the surveillance cameras installed in various places during this period of time with confusion.
…
When the organization cadres are carefully looking for evidence and making careful inferences.
In the room of the hotel where the murder scene was located.
A lawyer and a mini detective were currently concentrating on doing something similar to what he was doing.
Before the police could react, Conan had followed the trail and successfully flattened the note he picked up from the trash can.
The group of people looked closely and saw three kana "ha", "ya" and "shi" and a number "2" written casually on the crumpled paper.
Kisaki Eri took the paper from him, carefully identified it, and then said to the police officer who came over to take a look out of curiosity: "This should be written by the deceased - the handwriting is exactly the same as her usual handwriting."
Officer Yokomizo read the three pseudonyms on the paper in a low voice, a little confused: What does this mean? What does it have to do with the current murder case?
His bewildered expression was extremely realistic, because it was absolutely true: although he had just skipped all the steps with the help of Jiang Xia and knew the answer directly, he was not Conan after all. He could not rely on the answer to immediately deduce the entire process in a flash of inspiration - in short, he did not know all the details of this murder case.
...Of course, if they knew everything, they wouldn't have to act here - everything they are doing now is just to restore the details and defeat the murderer so that he can save some effort in his investigation.
Thinking of this, Officer Yokomizo, who had been feeling somewhat guilty, suddenly regained his confidence. He stopped mumbling in his heart and asked directly, in line with his character: "What does this mean?"
Hirano has simple strokes and is easy to write, making it very suitable for casual recording.
But unlike Chinese characters that have various meanings attached to them, they only indicate the pronunciation - several kana put together can often form more than one word.
Fei Yingli thought about it and suddenly remembered something: "This should be the meaning of 'Lin' - the environmental pollution case that Usui took over was very complicated and difficult to handle alone, so after the second trial, she has been asking me to introduce her to a partner lawyer.
"She and I were opponents in the final trial. I originally thought that Usui was joking with me, but I didn't expect that she actually wanted to use the person I recommended - this can be regarded as trust in me, so I did my best to find the most suitable lawyer Lin."
