Chapter 1098: Really Reliable, Mr. Policeman

"Takagi! Takagi!!" Sato Miwako anxiously called Takagi Wataru's name.

In the video, Takagi Wataru is lying flat on a wooden board between two buildings, with several meters in the air below him. In addition, there was a hemp rope tied around his neck, tape on his mouth, his hands tied behind his back, and his ankles were tied tightly with rope.

"If he turns over and falls, even if he is not high enough to fall to death, he will probably be strangled to death by the rope." A police officer asked worriedly, "What should we do now?"

Listening to her colleague's voice, Sato Miwako became even more anxious. She shouted loudly, hoping that Takagi Wataru could feel her mood: "Takagi, get up and take control of the situation!!"

I don’t know if there is really a power called love in the dark. Amidst Sato Miwako’s shouts over and over again, Takagi Wataru actually slowly opened his eyes.

He was obviously not very aware of his situation when he just woke up, but he soon realized it.

Takagi Wataru discovered that there were cameras directly above, to the side, and below him. It was estimated that the image had probably been transmitted to the Metropolitan Police Department by that person. Then what he has to do is to give as many tips as possible and cooperate with the Metropolitan Police to save himself.

Director Matsumoto looked at the impact on the tablet with a very serious expression: "Immediately ask the Cybercrime Countermeasures Division to investigate the source of the signal, and be sure to find Takagi..."

"I'm afraid they won't be able to find the source of the signal in a short period of time, right?" Conan's childish voice sounded, but the police officers present seemed to be used to this.

Director Matsumoto even waited patiently for Conan's explanation.

"Because this tablet has been modified, right?" Conan pointed to the charging socket and power button of the computer. "The police officer from the explosive ordnance disposal squad has proven that the power button cannot be used. Now this computer can only display video. One function, and it cannot be charged or connected to the Internet.”

Shiratori Rensaburo explained to Conan: "But Conan-kun, as long as we completely disassemble the computer, we can charge it directly from the inside, and we can also read data directly from the hard disk."

"Eh? Aren't you afraid that Officer Takagi's image will disappear if you do this?"

Shiratori Rensaburo was stunned.

Conan said: "The reason why the prisoner went to great lengths to modify the computer is to prevent the police from easily finding Officer Takagi's location. So the best way to threaten him is the video itself, right? What's more, the prisoner will most likely use an overseas server as a springboard, or even There is more than one, and even if the police contact the communications company immediately, they will not be able to check the source of the signal in a short period of time."

There were many police officers gathered in the courtyard of the Metropolitan Police Department, many of whom were not even familiar faces from the Investigation Division. When these police officers heard Conan's plausible reasoning, they immediately looked at each other and fell into doubts about their abilities.

Conan reacted suddenly when he saw this. He quickly scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "Ahem, actually Brother Asano told me these, and I don't quite understand them either."

"Ha." Hui Yuan Ai couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Conan immediately cast an accusing look at her.

Huiyuan was silent.

"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Asano!" Officer Megure seemed relieved, and he accepted Conan's explanation with peace of mind. It seems that as long as he can find an excuse to escape some horrific possibility, no matter how ridiculous the excuse, Officer Megure will accept it.

This is also the common thought of most police officers who know Conan.

"I said..." Nobuhiro didn't expose Conan's lies. He met Director Matsumoto's gaze and said calmly, "Should the Metropolitan Police Department first track down the person who sent the package? Even if he is not the real culprit behind all this planning. , and it must be related to the real murderer."

Officer Memu suddenly realized: "Ah, yes..."

"Immediately investigate the surveillance cameras at stations and convenience stores near the Metropolitan Police Department to look for traces of the person delivering the package." Manager Matsumoto ordered coldly, "Also, Megure, I heard that Takagi went to meet someone yesterday to meet someone. Stayed for a night somewhere, huh?”

Officer Megure was stunned for half a second before replying: "Yes, he is very concerned about the time of the light rail."

"Don't be distracted at this time." Manager Matsumoto scolded him rudely. "Hurry up and investigate the long-distance stations near the light rail, especially Haneda Airport. Check the lists of all passengers entering and leaving yesterday."

"Yes, I understand!"

Manager Matsumoto glanced at Shiratori Rensaburo: "Shiratori, go to Takagi's residence immediately, check his computer mailbox or the mail in the trash can, and find out the information about the person Takagi wants to see."

"yes!"

"Chiba, responsible for monitoring computer images. The tablet cannot be charged, and the remaining power is estimated to be only enough for ten hours. Turn on the playback for ten minutes every hour, and use the camera to record the video during this period for subsequent investigation."

"Manager!" Sato Miwako asked nervously, "What about me? What can I do?"

Manager Matsumoto could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Miwako Sato, but if she was not allowed to participate at this time, Miwako Sato would be even more worried. He pondered for less than a second and then said: "Take Mr. Asano and the children to the reception room and ask carefully about the meeting with that person. After all, they are people who have had direct contact with criminals. Not only their appearance, body shape, and statements All methods and behaviors must be mastered.”

"yes!"

Manager Matsumoto nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, don't stay here, take action quickly!"

"yes!"

The search class, which was originally in chaos, quickly took action because of his words, and the police officers from other departments also went back to work. As long as it is confirmed that there are no explosives in the package, the rest is a matter of searching the first lesson and has nothing to do with them.

Haibara Ai withdrew her gaze from Manager Matsumoto and said softly to Nobushige: "You are really reliable, Mr. Policeman."

"That's right." Nobuhiro narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Although the police officers in the First Search Division are usually obscured by the light of detectives, in critical moments, they are all reliable and can be completely trusted."

Haibara Ai raised his head and looked at Nobuhiro seriously: "I'm not just talking about Manager Matsumoto."

The smile on Nobushige's face continued: "I'm not just talking about Administrator Matsumoto."

…

In the reception room, Miwako Sato and two police officers drew a sketch of the person who delivered the package on paper based on the children's description.

Nobuhiro didn't go in. He stood at the door, seemingly typing and chatting with others using chat software, but in fact he was talking to Hiroki.

"That person didn't have electronic equipment on his body, so I couldn't locate it directly." Hiroki explained.

"Well, I know, but you should investigate faster than the police. Just find a way to help the police during the investigation."
