Chapter 313: Making a Few Hundred Million Shouldn't Be Too Much, Right?

"No way..."

Takagi was speechless for a moment: "I'm not very good at painting."

"Compared to realism, I prefer impressionism..."

Shiratiao also smiled and declined politely.

Fujino: "..."

Let's face it, these two people are indeed quite unkind.

Let people paint, and then laugh at them for their poor painting skills...

Fujino was speechless for a moment, then said: "Officer Sato, hand me the notebook."

"well?"

Sato was surprised and handed over the notebook: "Consultant Fujino, can you sketch?"

"As for sketching... I haven't done much painting."

Fujino took the notebook: "I have drawn some anime characters casually before... Well, logically speaking, there shouldn't be much of a problem..."

After some writing and drawing, Fujino quickly drew a portrait of the arsonist based on Ayumi's description and some impressions.

Although his painting skills are not very strong, he can at least distinguish the features.

Fujino handed the painting to Ayumi: "The suspect should look like this, right?"

"Yeah! That's right! Just like what Brother Fujino drew!"

Ayumi reached out her hand excitedly and nodded.

"Let me see……"

Conan also stepped forward, took a look, and revealed his half-moon eyes: "Why does it look like an anime character?"

"Didn't I tell you before, I just had no time to draw anime characters..."

Fujino looked at Conan speechlessly: "How about you do it?"

"I'd better forget it..."

Conan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly.

"In that case, just search like this."

Fujino handed the painting to Shiratori: "Officer Shiratori, this painting should be suitable for investigation, right?"

"There is nothing wrong with this painting. Although the painter is indeed not online, he can at least distinguish the features and see them at a glance..."

Shiratori took the painting, and then hesitantly said: "But if we mobilize the police force to conduct a large-scale search just for this one suspect, it would be too much."

And after all, this is an arsonist search and joint investigation job. It would indeed be a bit inappropriate if they all took it away.

"Don't you believe Ayumi?"

"Don't underestimate us kids!"

"Ayumi is unmistakable!"

The children immediately became unhappy and looked aggrieved at the police officer's suspicion.

"Actually, it's not that I don't believe it..."

Takagi smiled and smoothed things over, "After all, Ayumi didn't see the suspect setting the fire at the time. It would be troublesome if we made a mistake."

"It shouldn't be wrong."

Conan suddenly thought and reasoned: "The weather is still a bit hot now. At that time, the guy was wearing a windbreaker and gloves. His trousers still smelled of being torn by gasoline, and he appeared near the fire scene with a weird smile. , if he is not the murderer, it is really unreasonable..."

Fujino: "..."

Silently he lowered his head and glanced at his suit.

Then I thought about the life-saving windbreaker in my portable space.

Hmm, why does it feel like he is a murderer?

…………

After some arguments from Conan, Miwako Sato finally decided to go to the crime scene to take a look.

But before that, she still had to take a detour to other places.

…………

In front of a crossroads.

Miwako Sato squatted next to a sidewalk telephone pole, praying devoutly with her hands clasped together. In front of her, there was a white flower inserted in a can.

Today is the death anniversary of her father Masayoshi Sato.

Eighteen years ago, Masayoshi Sato was unfortunately hit by a truck while chasing a suspect. Because it was raining, the ambulance arrived late. It took some time until the Sato family arrived at the scene before Masayoshi Sato breathed his last.

Listening to Shiratori's explanation, Takagi said in surprise: "Could it be that the police officer who was killed in that case..."

"That's right, it's Officer Sato's father, Masayoshi Sato."

Fujino nodded and thought: "That case was called the 'Chou Silang' case. After Sato Masayoshi was hit by a truck, he kept shouting such a name to the murderer, so the case was named 'Chou Silang' ', the police also conducted a large-scale search on him, but about three years ago, this case passed the prosecution period. "

"I also remember that case..."

Takagi recalled, "It was a very sophisticated robbery, and the amount of the robbery was 550 million yen."

Fujino's ears pricked up when he heard this: "Five hundred and fifty million?"

"Yeah, a lot of money."

Takagi regretted: "The only clue present was only ten seconds of monitor footage. No one knew how Masayoshi Sato found the murderer. The investigation could not continue, and it was eventually forgotten..."

"The prosecution period...is really a kind rule."

Haibara Ai crossed her arms and looked at Sato Miwako, seemingly touched: "You have obviously committed an irreparable crime like murder, and after hiding for more than ten years, you can return to society openly and just like a normal person. It's really It’s so unreasonable. Although the murderer can come back again, for the victim, it is a pain that will never be forgotten for the rest of his life..."

Fujino also nodded: "If it is the Chinese legal system, even if the murderer hides in the ends of the earth, as long as he kills someone, then even if thirty years have passed, there will still be a chance to be traced in the end. In the end Blood for blood.”

Conan glanced at Fujino unexpectedly and thought: "If it is the Chinese legal system, it seems like this... But according to the laws here, if the other party has not committed a crime in the past fifteen years or in the future, even if he is arrested, he will not be able to do anything. …”

"This is also something that can't be helped."

Sato Miwako stood up slowly, "Although everyone still remembers the name and the prisoner of that case, no one will remember the dead policeman if he is not a relevant person in the police industry... There is no evidence in the case to continue the search. , it’s also something that can’t be helped.”

"Anyway, we don't do this job just to be famous..."

After a pause, Sato Miwako looked at Fujino: "But it's a shame Fujino-kun can still think of this old case... I thought the detective wouldn't like to investigate such a case where the murderer cannot be brought to justice. "

"I just have a good memory. I happened to see this one when I was investigating old cases..."

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, "However, this kind of case that has passed the statute of limitations still needs to be investigated. Even if the criminal cannot be brought to justice, there will be someone who will bring a perfect conclusion to this case."

"Are you talking about Rice Krispies Batman?"

Sato Miwako immediately recalled the white figure and shook her head: "It would be okay if the opponent is caught, but if it is just to simply kill the opponent... let's forget it."

In her mind, bringing him to justice means catching him and accepting legal punishment.

Instead of killing the opponent directly.

Fujino said nothing when he heard this.

As a time traveler, he subconsciously believes that any crime should be punished with blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

Whether they are drug dealers, murderers, or philanthropists who make huge amounts of money, they are all people who will be sentenced to death under normal circumstances.

But it seems that in the eyes of these people, the murderer is not unforgivable.

Compared to his world, he believed that this world was too 'gentle' towards those criminals who committed heinous crimes.

"But..."

Yuantai suddenly asked: "The truck driver should have seen the prisoner's appearance at that time, right?"

Miwako Sato agreed with Genta’s question.

However, the prisoner was wearing sunglasses and a raincoat at the time. Even the driver could not tell the other person's appearance under those circumstances.

Even if he knew that the other party was called 'Chou Si Lang', in fact, it was not a person's name.

The clues left at the scene were too thin. The only additional clue was the English letters of [KAN O].

"I remember when I was a kid, I used to stare at those words, trying to find some clues."

Sato Miwako smiled helplessly, "At that time, I was still thinking that if anyone could crack this code and catch Chou Silang, I would satisfy any of his conditions."

"Any conditions are acceptable?!"

Takagi and Shiratori both swallowed involuntarily.

In his mind, he imagined Sato Miwako wearing a wedding dress and following him into the marriage hall.

"I want a thousand eel rice!"

"If it were me, I'd want to stay in a tropical paradise castle for one night!"

"Then I want a ticket to the International Museum of the Universe!"

The three little ones all expressed their thoughts one after another.

"sure!"

Sato Miwako smiled and nodded in agreement, but was attracted by Haibara Ai and Conan's requests.

Hui Yuan Ai thought for a while and felt that she didn't need anything, so she casually said: "The latest high-end bag of any brand."

"Then I want tickets for this World Cup!" Conan said.

"Uh...ok."

Miwako Sato smiled and agreed.

But I felt speechless in my heart.

Premium bags and World Cup tickets.

Are all primary school students this year so realistic?

‘If the secret code is really discovered by these children, I’m afraid Sato Miwako will look as pitiful as Takayama Minami with an empty wallet. ’

Fujino looked at Miwako Sato who was smiling bitterly, and couldn't help but think to himself.

After that, another wave of people came to pay homage to Masayoshi Sato at the intersection.

That group of people were all high school classmates of Masayoshi Sato, three boys and one girl. Each of them had an animal name in their name, such as ape, deer, bird, and pig.

After a brief negotiation, they left here.

Then, news came from the Megure Police Department, which had just finished handling the bank robbery case, saying that a man had suddenly broken out of the security checkpoint at Shinagawa Subway Station. His characteristics were very similar to those described by Ayumi.

Takagi and Shiratori were deployed to the scene for reinforcements. Fujino felt that he should also follow to see if he could be of any help, so they rushed to Shinagawa Station together, while Miwako Sato stayed and continued to identify the crime with the children. on site.

…………

On the car heading to Shinagawa Station.

[Detective professional bounty mission: The murderer eighteen years ago

Mission goal: Capture the prisoner who robbed a bank eighteen years ago and caused the death of a criminal police officer.

Task Reward: 3 million yen, 200 detective reputation points]

"Did the system task really get triggered?"

Fujino sat in the back row, looking at the system task in front of him, thinking secretly in his heart.

This system task was triggered when he just met the four high school friends of Sato Masayoshi.

And the target he wanted to catch was none other than the old man named Shikano Shuji among the four.

That's right, in fact, the code left by Sato Masayoshi pointed to Shikano Shuji.

The so-called "Chou Si Lang" actually means "Go and surrender", but because of the intermittent reason, it was misunderstood.

So Japanese is really inconvenient, with a lot of homophones, and a mishearing will cause a lot of trouble.

And [KAN O] is a very simple word game, pointing to Shikano.

What he has to do next is to lure the snake out of the hole.

According to his memory, Shikano will take the initiative to show up a little later and knock out Takagi who discovered the truth.

And the arsonist will also appear at Shinagawa Station at the same time.

In other words, as long as he followed up and ambushed them, he could get these two missions for free.

Moreover, he actually had some ideas about the 550 million yen stolen from the bank.

He didn't get 1 billion before, so it's not too much to get 100 million this time, right?

…………

Shinagawa Station.

Not long after arriving, the suspect was subdued by Fujino, Takagi, and Shiratori.

However, the suspect was not an arsonist, but a thief.

"Officer, I'm really not an arsonist!"

The thief was pinned to the ground by the station police and cried out for injustice.

"Inspector, we have caught the suspect who escaped from Shinagawa Station."

Shiratori stood aside and straightened his messy suit: "But as far as he is concerned, he is just a thief who broke into the house..."

Takagi tugged at his collar, wiped the sweat from his temples, and looked at Fujino, who was sitting next to him without breathing and dressed neatly: "Advisor Fujino, your physical strength is really good. It was so easy to arrest this guy."

"Nothing."

Fujino said: "I just exercise regularly and learned some fighting skills in the kendo hall."

"Exercise?"

Takagi was stunned: "Can I ask how you exercise regularly? ?”

“Well…”

Fujino thought for a while: “It’s probably just 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10km long-distance running every day, but you just need to stick to it every day.”

“Huh?”

Takagi was stunned when he heard this: “Do you have to do it every day?”

“Yes, do it every day. If you give up, it won’t work.”

Fujino nodded: “But this method is not suitable for everyone. If you are not in good physical condition, you will hurt yourself.”

“So that’s it…”

Takagi nodded thoughtfully, and was considering whether to exercise as Fujino said.

After all, the scene that the thief that he and Shiratori couldn’t subdue together was directly pressed by Fujino alone was really shocking.

Looking up, he looked at the license plate of the station, but suddenly froze for a moment.

Immediately, there was a burst of excitement, and he had forgotten what happened just now.

Because he had discovered the secret of the code!

Thinking of this, he was full of joy and planned to call Sato, intending to let the other party reward him well.

"Takagi, who are you calling?"

Shiratori noticed Takagi's strange behavior at this time and bent down to ask.

"Nothing..."

Takagi nodded in a panic and quickly took out the urine shield method: "I just want to go to the bathroom."

As he said, he quickly stood up.

"I'm going to the bathroom too."

Fujiano also stood up and followed him.

"Fujiano?"

Takagi looked at Fujino who followed him and suddenly felt a little troublesome: "Well, you want to go to the bathroom too?"

"Yeah."

Fujiano nodded and looked at Takagi suspiciously: "You don't go?"

"Ahem."

Takagi coughed lightly and felt a little weird.

But if he just followed Fujino to the bathroom, then it might be a bit troublesome...

He had to tell Sato about this quickly!

If it was Fujino, he shouldn't steal his chance, right?

After thinking about it, Takagi made a decision: "Actually, it's like this. I already know who killed Sato's father..."

"So that's it..."

Fujiano smiled slyly: "So you want someone to tell Officer Sato about this in exchange for conditions, right?"

"Ah... this, it's not like that..."

Takagi was a little flustered for a moment.

"Just go and make the call."

Fujiano put his hands in his pockets and didn't listen to Takagi's explanation: "Anyway, I really need to go to the bathroom, so I'll take your share."

"Oh...oh! Thank you, Consultant Fujino!"

Takagi nodded repeatedly, thanking Fujino in his heart.

Fujiano raised his hand and waved behind him without replying.

Thank you, it's not worth it.

He didn't really go to the bathroom anyway.
