Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 235 The way of contingency
"I think he would say that if he saw me. 'I can double the amount the other party gives you, as long as you let me go.' If you have money, it's okay to say..." The gloomy voice on the other end of the phone talking.

In the beverage shop, Kenta and the others watched this scene.

Just listen, the man in the social suit said in a low voice: "Okay. I understand, I will give you three times, no, four times. Now you just need to come over quickly and give me his name and evidence." "

Outside the mall, a middle-aged man wearing a brown hat put out his cigarette in the trash can and said, "If you pay four times, I think he will be in trouble."

After hanging up the phone, the man turned around and said, "You heard me, don't blame me. Who told you to settle things?"

Xiao Hei, who was wearing a knitted hat, turned his head angrily, with a cold light in his eyes.

The man walked into the mall, and suddenly heard a voice, and turned around to find that Xiao Hei was still following him.

"Hey, even if you follow me, I won't stop there. I think you are hopeless."

The man patted the envelope in his hand and said, "You have to know that what is in this envelope is evidence of your evil deeds."

The man was very angry, but this was Miwa Town, so this was a proper act of suicide.

Sure enough, Xiao Hei didn't hold back, he pulled out a knife and pointed towards the man.

"Uh~"

At this time, all the lights in the mall just went out.

The inside of the drink shop was also pitch black.

Xiaolan asked: "No way? What happened?"

Kenta raised his head strangely, "Power outage?"

After more than ten seconds, all the lights suddenly turned on again.

Yuanzi immediately relaxed, "I'm scared to death."

Xiaolan was a little sad: "It's no wonder, you have encountered a power outage in the building before."

Kenta patted Sonoko on the back, his face darkened.

The accident Xiaolan mentioned happened when she was with Xiaolan and the others. At that time, there was a murderer who specifically took revenge on women who wore thick-soled shoes while driving.

Yuanzi was also wearing thick-soled shoes that day. At that time, he was out of the crowd because he went to the toilet. Unexpectedly, he was targeted by the murderer, who was mistaken for wearing thick-soled shoes and driving, and attacked Yuanzi in the building mall.

At the last moment, police officer Mugure blocked the prisoner's blow and saved Sonoko.

Afterwards, Police Officer Mumu suffered a head injury, and Kenta even went to Lutai Police Hospital with a fruit basket to visit.

I also met Officer Megure’s beautiful wife, Midori Megure.

"Ah—" A girl screamed loudly.

Kenta and the others looked over in surprise. The voice was very close, and it sounded like it should be outside the store.

After a while, the crowd began to gather outside the drink shop.

"Oh my god, it seems to be right in front of this store!" Yuanzi said in surprise.

"Really, with so many people, what could have happened?" Xiaolan was also puzzled.

Conan took the first step and ran out of the drink shop.

The crowd followed closely behind, and were stunned as soon as they came out.

A man with wide eyes and a big envelope in his arms was stabbed to death on the escalator of the shopping mall. The man's body was still shaking back and forth along with the conveyor belt.

Teacher Judy had no expression on her face, she turned her head and said, "Mori-san, Suzuki-san, please call the police and an ambulance immediately!"

"Good!"*2
Conan took a step forward and noticed that there were three strange symbols drawn on the envelope, ○, , △.

Circle, cross, triangle?What are these?Conan was very distressed.

a while.

Police officer Mu Mu led the team.

"Hmm. Did you kill him by stabbing the abdomen with a kitchen knife?" Mu Mu squatted next to the corpse and examined it.

Takagi said: "Yes. The man who was killed was named Nakajo Katsunori, and he was 43 years old. According to his business card, he was running a firm."

"Detective? But I don't quite understand, what does this strange Dying message mean?" Megumi thought.

"No, no, no, it's a Dying message." Teacher Judy corrected her pronunciation behind her back.

Mu Mu turned her head, "Ah, I remember you are..."

Judy said: "That's right, I'm Judy St. Timilion. I'm so happy to see you again, Mr. Police Department." Teacher Judy began to speak strangely again.

Mu Mu and Takagi looked dazed, and they laughed dryly in cold sweat.

Conan couldn't help complaining in his heart, before correcting other people's pronunciation, it's better to speak your Japanese first.

Mu Mu saw Judy and said, "Nonsense, why are you always involved in such murder cases?"

"Yes, but..." Judy pointed behind her, "Compared to them, I am still much inferior."

Mu Mu tilted his head and saw a circle of acquaintances, "Xiao Lan, you are all there too."

Xiao Lan said: "We were just talking about things in the nearby drink shop. I didn't expect that there would be a sudden power outage."

Yuanzi said: "When the lighting came back on, I heard a woman's mournful cry. I ran over and found that he was dead."

"Power outage?" Mumu asked.

Gao Mu hurriedly flipped through his small notebook, and replied: "According to the management of the building, it was caused by a mistake in the inspection of the electrical system. However, the power outage lasted no more than 15 seconds."

Megure said: "In other words, this murderer happened to take advantage of the darkness to stab Mr. Nakajo and escape. Before Mr. Nakajo died, he left this strange dying m and message to hint at the identity of the murderer. ?"

Officer Megure's nose turned red with embarrassment, and Takagi snickered.

The two of them turned around and found Teacher Judy looking at them approvingly.

Mumu coughed slightly, turned around and squatted down, "But what do these circles, crosses, and triangles mean?"

Takagi guessed: "The circle is often used in the missing characters of the typesetting. Mr. Nakajo thinks that his name should not be known, so he expresses it like this?"

Teacher Judy suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I always feel that I have seen this mark somewhere before."

"Huh?" Xiaolan and Yuanzi were surprised.

Even Police Officer Meguro quickly asked, "What did you say? Where did you see it?"

"Please think about it, Miss Judy!" Takagi also asked.

"Mmm~" Judy raised her eyes, thinking hard, "That's right! It's a gamepad! There are marks like ○, , △, □ on it."

Megure and Takagi let out a sigh of relief.

"Did I help you?" Judy asked expectantly.

In exchange for Meguro and Takagi's dry laughter.

Kenta complained, this game fan, his brain circuit is so active, he could think of this.

At this time, the police tool of the Evidence Collection Division approached and said: "Police Department, the call records on the victim's mobile phone show that there was a call 30 minutes ago."

"30 minutes ago? If you calculate it forward, isn't it when the murder happened!" Mu Mu said.

Takagi took the phone.

Conan suddenly said: "Then let's play and see."

Takagi was taken aback for a moment, and then began to operate.

The scene became a little quieter, and suddenly a mobile phone rang among the lively crowd.

The man hung up the phone in a panic, and just breathed a sigh of relief, Officer Megure had appeared in front of him, and Takagi appeared behind him to block the way.

The man's forehead was sweating slightly. This man was the social bastard who was sitting behind Kenta and the others just now and wanted to pay four times the price for something.

Officer Megure approached, "It's you. You were talking to Mr. Nakajo 30 minutes ago, right?"

"This, this..." The man bowed his head in silence.

Yuanzi suddenly yelled, "Could it be that phone call?"

Xiaolan also suddenly realized.

Mu Mu asked strangely, "What phone call?"

Yuanzi spoke righteously and pointed out: "I thought the content of their conversation was very strange. When I think about it, he said, then I will pay four times the price and you come here quickly. I will not remember it wrong!! "

"Is that so? Huh?" Officer Megure asked.

"You don't want to do this, I just say it." The man waved his hands again and again, bowed his head and said: "I will recruit them all."

Officer Megure took the person to a cubicle in the store to get a rough understanding of the situation.

The man's name is Laisheng Fan Jiu, 50 years old, and he is the general affairs director of the commercial company.

"You hired a detective to investigate the internal situation of the company." Mu Mu said.

Fan Jiu nodded, "Yes, that's right. Last month, I found out that someone in the company secretly embezzled the company's reserves. Before reporting to the boss, the boss ordered me to find out this person first."

"Where is your company?"

"The 8th to 11th floors of this building belong to our company."

"So that's how it is. After the detective found out the suspect, he contacted you. Because it's not convenient to meet in the company, so you made an appointment to meet at this beverage store. But after the time came, he still hadn't seen him. Call him to check the situation, right?"

"Ah."

Takagi memorized the notebook and said, "From Mr. Nakajo holding the empty envelope, the employee who embezzled public funds is the same person as the murderer?"

Officer Mu Mu agreed with this conjecture, "Well, it is very likely that he committed the murder first, then took away the evidence, and then fled back to the office upstairs."

"Then, do you have no idea who this embezzler might be?" Mu Mu asked.

"No, this detective gave me a list of people in our company who are suspected of embezzling public funds a week ago." Fan Jiu, the next student, took out an envelope from his briefcase, took out the A4 paper inside, and said: " This is the list he gave me."

The A4 paper is densely filled with names, as many as 5 to 60.

Takagi broke into a cold sweat, "Officer Meguro~"

Police officer Mu Mu took it, and said distressedly: "It is really tiring to investigate all these people on the list."

Conan stepped forward to take a peek. There were 58 suspects in total, but the only clues so far were circles, crosses, and triangles.

This is quite interesting.The corner of Conan's mouth rose.

As time passed, the sky outside gradually darkened.

There was a circle of people watching the excitement outside the building.

Kenta and the others were left behind for several hours because they were also eyewitnesses.

At this time, Takagi ran from a distance and reported: "Officer Megure, from the three symbols written in blood, we have found the fingerprints of Mr. Nakajo who was assassinated this time."

"is it?"

"And those bloodstains are also Mr. Nakajo's blood."
