Chapter 465 The police are good helpers, organize the staff well and add more to the leader [The Darkest Darkness]
Just now, when Sato Miwako brought a few children to check the scene, she ran into her father's old friends. At that time, a group of people had briefly talked about the "Chou Silang incident."
Conan adjusted his glasses that were pulled crooked by the kids, shook his head in the midst of his busy schedule, and spoke truthfully like an innocent child: "I only told Brother Jiang Xia that you encountered a difficult case."
Sato Miwako was silent for a moment.
Since Conan didn't say it, then Jiang Xia thought of it himself.
There were many unsolved cases eighteen years ago, and many incidents that resulted in the death of police officers, but when Jiang Xia heard those two words, she immediately remembered that her father was involved, and even knew Sato Masayoshi's full name... Even many of her colleagues only knew about the "Chou Silang Incident" and didn't know that the incident was related to her. Could it be that Jiang Xia had paid special attention to this case before?
When people encounter something that is related to themselves, they can't help but associate it with themselves.
At this time, Sato Miwako couldn't help but speculate, "Jiang Xia deliberately went to investigate this matter, is it because it is related to her?"
And then I was a little touched.
——Although Jiang Xia seems to be reluctant to communicate with others and always secretly harms the criminals, he is secretly repaying her kindness by helping her solve difficult problems where no one else can see.
Speaking of which, if she had any favor to Jiang Xia, it was probably only when Jiang Xia beat up a criminal, she helped to clean up the mess or cover it up... This, this is actually a bit illegal...
Thinking of this, Sato Miwako's mood suddenly became very complicated.
But now is obviously not the time to think about these things.
Just now Jiang Xia gave her two pieces of information - her father's close friend + he had been abroad.
Thinking carefully, combining the two key points, she actually thought of such a person who met the requirements...
There were several old videos stored in Miwako Sato's mailbox.
She recalled how her father breathed his last in front of her 18 years ago, and how happy she felt when she was about to bring the criminal to justice. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she adjusted the screen with trembling fingers.
…
At the same time, Shinagawa subway station.
Strictly speaking, Jiang Xia is very careful about maintaining his image. In public, he not only won't hit anyone, but is usually very friendly.
——Being too brutal in public might cause some criminals to correctly estimate his strength, making it difficult for them to think of silencing him, or even simply not asking him to solve the case. This would obviously result in the loss of a lot of potential murderous spirits and ghosts.
In addition, in the eyes of the organization, he, a high school detective, is still in the accumulation stage. The organization also requires him to maintain a good image and blend into the upper class as soon as possible. Now, Jiang Xia has initially experienced the distress of not having organizational tasks to complete, and it is necessary to be a good organizational employee.
So after releasing the baton, Jiang Xia did not continue to step on the prisoner. Instead, he picked up the unconscious person, helped to brush off the dust, and then handed the dealt with prisoner to the nervous policeman on the side.
A group of police officers thanked the familiar citizen for his brave act and quickly took the suspect away for further questioning.
However, according to an old lady who often takes the subway, the person caught this time was probably just a subway pickpocket - he ran away when he encountered a surprise inspection because he felt guilty about stealing something. This is not the same person as the arsonist.
Jiang Xia also thought so.
——When he threw the man down just now, he observed the "suspect" closely and found that there was indeed no evil or murderous aura on this person.
The real arsonist is still at large.
However, there is no need to report this kind of thing specifically. Once the suspect wakes up and the police catch him and ask him, they will know that the mission is not over yet and more efforts are needed.
…
Inspector Shiratori and two other police officers took the suspect with mosquito coils in his eyes from Jiang Xia and took the elevator out of the station.
The rest of the people took the escalator upstairs.
Takagi was also classified as one of the "remaining people".
He stood in the slowly ascending elevator and suddenly remembered something. He turned around and looked at Jiang Xia, feeling a little conflicted.
——Just now, when Sato Miwako accompanied a few children to confirm the scene of the witness, Takagi and Inspector Shiratori also went there.
At that time, a group of people met an old classmate of Officer Sato's father. When talking about the "Chou Silang Incident", Sato Miwako once said that if someone could solve this mystery, she would be willing to fulfill any wish of the solver.
...At that time, Takagi Shigeru had even thought of the style of the wedding ring.
But this mystery from more than a decade ago is not something that can be solved easily. Clues are very scarce.
So after calming down, Takagi Shigeru became dejected again.
And now, when he suddenly met Jiang Xia, he always felt that he had grasped a path to success.
But thinking about it carefully, I felt that if I asked Jiang Xia for help, then should this case be considered solved by him or Jiang Xia? Strictly speaking, this should be considered cheating...
If he was in a hurry to catch the criminal, Gao Mushi would have already rushed back to Jiang Xia by now.
However, the statute of limitations for the "Chou Silang Incident" had already expired three years ago. This puzzle has no time limit, so it seems that there is no need to abandon one's moral integrity...
Finally, Takagi Shigeru shook his head vigorously to get rid of the distracting thought of running to secretly look through the reference books.
At the same time, he secretly clenched his fist: I have to rely on myself! At least I have to try my best to check it first.
If after all efforts, no clues can be found, then Jiang Xia will be recommended to Officer Sato. In this way, the mystery will be solved by Jiang Xia, and competitors like Inspector Shiratori will naturally not be able to get the promise of the policewoman Sato Miwako...
Takagi Shigeru was secretly thinking about how to harm his opponent.
At this time, as the elevator went up and his line of sight rose, he inadvertently saw the sign for "Shinagawa Station".
Takagi looked at the Chinese characters above, then looked at the kana marked on it, and suddenly his whole body was shocked as if he had stepped on an electric switch - he understood!
Ten minutes ago, when Sato Miwako talked about the "Chou Silang incident", she said that there was actually another clue about this incident that was not known to the public.
——When the deceased Sato Masayoshi was investigating the case, he wrote three strange pseudonyms "カンオ" in the police manual, but no one knows what they mean until now.
But at this moment, Takagi Shigeru suddenly had an idea - this seemed to be a simple word game. "カンオ" written in romanization is kano, and among the "old friends" they met just now, one of them had the surname "鹿野", pronounced "カノ", and "カノ" written in romanization is also kano.
...According to the custom among acquaintances, this is most likely how Sato's father addressed his old friend with the surname "Luno"!
Just as he excitedly came to this conclusion, Takagi's eyes suddenly moved and he saw that "Shikano".
...right next to Jiangxia.
