Chapter 381 Knows How to Beat Stupid People

Officer Megure is really busy. As soon as he sorted out the information about Kogami Mai, he once again threw himself into the case of Kubota Airi.

In comparison, Kubota Airi's case is obviously more important. After all, it is about the life of an innocent person who died tragically, and it is about a vicious and perverted executioner.

If the murderer cannot be caught, the police will worry about whether this person will commit crimes again. Is there a victim whose life was ruthlessly deprived of his life somewhere in Tokyo?

The policemen of the Search Section 1, led by Officer Memu, had their heads bald and were pursuing the investigation day after day and night after day.

The police's perseverance in pursuit is not fruitless at all. At least their investigations into Kubota Yumiya and Mitsuha Tadao have improved.

Neither of the two suspects had alibi, and there was one other person who had telephone contact with Kubota Airi on the day of the incident and was in the same city.

"What?!" Mouri Kogoro exclaimed into the phone, "You said Hamano Tori also contacted Kubota Airi?"

Thanks to a chance encounter at the Teitan High School garden party yesterday, Mouri Kogoro now also knows the identity of Hamano Toshiya. Suddenly, he heard that an acquaintance was involved in Kubota Airi's case, which surprised Mouri Kogoro.

When Mouri Kogoro received a call from the Megure Police Department, Nobushige was sitting on the sofa next to him, sorting out the recently commissioned materials. Hearing this, he looked towards Mouri Kogoro, with strong doubts in his eyes.

Hamano Toshi is also a man who is deeply involved with Tanaka Kikue. Now that it is confirmed that he is related to Kubota Airi's case, Nobushige has to think about the role of Tanaka Kikue in Kubota Airi's case.

The murderer of Airi Kubota...could it be Kikue Tanaka?

Originally, Nobushige did not consider this aspect, because he would use such cruel methods to torture Kubota Airi's body. Before that, everyone including the police believed that there should be resentment between the murderer and Kubota Airi. At present, there is no evidence that Kubota Airi and Tanaka Kikue know each other, so naturally the so-called hatred is out of the question.

The only thing that made Nobushige think Tanaka Kikue was suspicious was her identity as Apricot.

For organizations, killing often does not require a particularly good reason. Perhaps the existence of Kubota Alli hindered a certain transaction of the organization, or maybe she was unwilling to cooperate with the organization. In order to train Epcot, who had just joined the organization not long ago, some big bosses in the organization gave the task of eradicating Kubota Alli. To Kikue Tanaka.

And Hamano Toshi has also been looking for the whereabouts of Tanaka Kikue recently. What he told Nobutushige yesterday that "he has not been contacted so far" may be a lie. In fact, Hamano Toshi not only found Tanaka Kikue, but may even have witnessed Tanaka Kikue's execution. the whole process of the task.

Out of protection for Tanaka Kikue, Hamano Toshiya did not tell the police all this, but he always felt very uneasy in his heart, so he found Nobushige at the garden party, hoping to get help or advice from him. However, as luck would have it, another bad poisoning case occurred at Tedan High School yesterday. Faced with so many police officers present, Hamano Tori finally backed down.

Nobushige felt that his guess was probably true, but this guess was not perfect.

He couldn't understand why Tanaka Kikue treated Kubota Airi's body like that if the killing of Kubota Airi was really an order from the organization. They themselves should be free from injustice and hatred.

The organization's actions have always focused on efficiency and never do unnecessary things, so the possibility of burning and pouring corpses with cement directly from the organizational level is very low.

This doubt prevented Nobuhiro from confirming his thoughts.

"Okay, okay!" Mouri Kogoro responded repeatedly, "I'll go over now!"

Conan stood beside Mouri Kogoro when he received the call from Officer Megure. After seeing him hang up the phone, Conan couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Mouri, what did Officer Megure say?"

Mouri Kogoro originally did not intend to answer Conan's question, but soon he met Asano Nobushige's probing eyes. Mouri Kogoro felt that his manager was quite powerful at the critical moment, so it shouldn't matter if he told him the detailed situation. What's more, Asano Nobuhige and Hattori Heiji were originally following Kubota Airi's case. Even if he didn't tell them, they would probably get the news soon.

"Officer Megure said that through the investigation of communications company records, they found that Kubota Airi had telephone contact with a total of three people on the day of her death. In addition to Kubota Yumiya and Mitsuha Tadao, she had a five-year relationship with Hamano Roshi. Minutes of conversation. And Hamano Lee should also be the last person Kubota Airi contacted that day."

Conan immediately expressed doubts: "But when the police investigated Kubota Airi's social relationship, didn't Hamano Toshiya not exist?"

"Yes, that's why Officer Megure and the others take it so seriously..." Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized something was wrong. He stopped talking and then punched Conan in the head!

"Hey!" Conan was in pain. He clutched his head tightly, pushed away from Mouri Kogoro, and slipped to Nobushige's side to seek shelter.

Nobushige coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Mori, don't hit your head, you'll make someone stupid."

If you are stupid, no one will help you maintain the "Sleeping Kogoro" character, which is not cost-effective.

Mouri Kogoro let out a heavy breath from his nose and said to Nobutushige: "Anyway, Officer Megure invited us to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. He will introduce the specific situation in detail when we get there."

"I want to go too!" Conan said loudly, "I know Mr. Hamano, so I am very curious about how he could be involved in the murder case."

Mouri Kogoro refused without even thinking: "No! Minors cannot participate in such serious matters!"

Conan curled his lips and said: "Then Hattori brother is also a minor. If he can participate, why can't I??"

"He's a detective, aren't you?" Mouri Kogoro glared at him.

Unexpectedly, Conan became even more confident: "Yes, I am a member of the Junior Detective Team!"

Nobuhiro felt speechless for a while. He silently moved away from Conan, fearing that he would be infected by Conan's younger age.

Mouri Kogoro was so angry that he wanted to pinch Conan's ears. However, at this critical moment, Maori Lan suddenly pushed in the door and saw his father abusing Conan at a glance!

"Dad, what are you doing?" Mao Lilan ran over quickly and held Conan tightly in his arms, "Don't hit Conan, you'll hit him stupidly!"

Conan: "..."

Strange, he should be very happy to be hugged by Xiaolan, but why does he feel a little miserable?
