Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 13 You Killed Kenji

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This one is Matsuda Jinpei, who will be assigned to the Violent Crime Team of our first investigation section to work with you from today. He has been working in the mobile team of the Security Department until last year, which is pretty cool. Oh special!"

Although police officer Mu Mu enthusiastically introduced the newcomers who had just arrived with his colleagues.But Matsuda Jinpei's arrogant and arrogant attitude still made the old people in the first investigation department dislike him.

"Please, don't make fun of me, Officer Mumu. I'm not a student who came from the countryside to study in the city. If you don't let me introduce myself, what's the point?" Matsuda suddenly turned to look at these old people. Policeman: "Besides, it was not my intention to come here, and I came here out of nowhere!"

Now Matsuda offended other police officers, and the boss had no choice but to hand Matsuda into the hands of Officer Sato.

Although she was unwilling, Officer Megure's request made Sato Miwako agree, but she still had a bad first impression of this guy who didn't respect Officer Megure.

In Sato's car, Matsuda typed quickly on his mobile phone. He was writing an email that he would send out but never receive.

"Are you writing a text message? You type really fast!" Sato drove back to the Metropolitan Police Department, but glanced at Matsuda who was looking at the phone from the corner of his eye: "Is it your girlfriend?"

"This is for a dead friend of mine, don't get me wrong. The only good thing about me is my nimble fingers."

...the morning of the sixth day
"Huh? What do you mean if you don't go?"

Sato Miwako slapped her hand on the table and glared at this willful little devil.

Six days since he came to the first search department, this man has been going his own way, and now he refuses to go to the police station to pick up and drop off prisoners. This makes Miwako Sato, who is proud of being a policeman, unacceptable.

"At this time of year, the General Administration will receive faxes with Arabic numerals, right? According to my inference, this must be a certain Afro counting down. He will definitely do it today!"

"How is it possible? That kind of thing is probably just a prank."

Matsuda closed the newspaper in his hand. He was wearing sunglasses, staring straight at the fax machine.

After a few minutes, the machine did spit out a piece of paper. Matsuda put the paper on the table, and everyone gathered around to read the message on it.

We are a group of warriors of the round table, all stupid and cunning cops take note!

At noon and fourteen o'clock today, we will use the heads of our comrades in arms as fireworks to light up the celebration.Come and stop us if you have the ability!
Police officer Megure suddenly noticed that the faces of those young subordinates who had just joined in the past two years suddenly twisted and twitched, and the movement became louder and louder. Amid the noise, officers Matsuda and Sato also noticed it.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? Did you all have a bad stomach this morning? Cheer up!"

Miwako comforted her subordinates with concern. She took out the diarrhea medicine from the drawer and put it on the table.But no one went to pick them up. It would be better to say that they were not hungry after all.There is no discomfort on the body.

However, Matsuda sensed something was wrong, so he picked up the paper and asked, "Where have you seen this riddle, right? Where is it, tell me quickly!"

"Actually, it's the boy keep that's on sale today." Someone answered Matsuda's question, and as soon as he finished speaking, Matsuda punched the wall.

ha?Shonen manga?Damn bomber, are you kidding me?Did you take Kenji and me as a joke?asshole!
"So you brought me here? Please! Officer Megure, I just drew a cartoon. What does the bomber have to do with me?"

Yuji sat in the interrogation room, with a bowl of pork chop rice in front of him.He took apart the disposable chopsticks and enjoyed them deliciously.

"That's right, Officer Megure, my brother wouldn't do such a thing!" Just as Shinichi wanted to speak up to defend Yuuji, Officer Megure dragged him to the interrogation room on the other side.

It's not because he doesn't believe in Shinichi, Police Officer Megure has watched these two children grow up.

Shinichi and Yuji are both good kids with great reasoning skills.But this time the prisoner is very likely to be the same person who killed policeman Hagiwara Kenji four years ago, which is too dangerous.

He had just promised Yuzuo to take care of them, how could he involve these two children in such a dangerous incident!
"Why don't I have pork chop rice?"

Shinichi's voice came from the next door, the sound insulation of this interrogation room is not good enough, Yuji almost lost his appetite because of the noise.

"The date of the fax was the day before yesterday. That is to say, the prisoner scanned the content the day before yesterday and set it to be sent this morning. And this issue of Keep is only released today." Miwako Sato pointed to the fax machine seriously.

Matsuda took a puff of cigarette silently. He didn't believe that the boy in front of him could be the bomber, but this was also the only clue to catch the murderer.

The only chance to catch the murderer who killed Kenji.

"Indeed, but that doesn't exclude people from printing plants and editorial departments. Your reasoning is untenable!"

"No! Shonen Keep's printing factories are all in Hokkaido. And if you sue for leaking manga content, the leaker is likely to lose his fortune. No one would do this for a 230 yen magazine.

As for your editor, she only came to Tokyo from Tsuwano Town in Shimane Prefecture's Shikazu-gun three years ago, so it won't be her.You have been avoiding talking about it, it seems that you already have someone you suspect, speak up, and let him have a chance to reform himself! "

Then let me beat him up hard and throw him into jail to eat for the rest of his life!
After Matsuda extinguished the cigarette, he opened the chair and sat opposite Kudo Yuji. He stared at the boy with rice grains stuck to his chin, and began to release the coercion of the police.

It turns out that the reflection from my glasses looks like this, brighter than the one in the anime!
If you don't intervene, Matsuda will die on that Ferris wheel if nothing happens. This is a good opportunity to save him, and there is a perfect candidate right now.

It is really worthwhile for me to use a whole volume of "Edogawa III" to lay out the layout.

That's right, the plot was indeed plagiarized from "The Undead on Baker Street", but Yuji was all about this curly-haired policeman from beginning to end.

Furutani Rei is the only one who can save Matsuda, but because he has only joined the organization for a year, Amuro Toru is currently under observation.Asking him to meet a policeman at this time is simply forcing him to die.

So Yuji deliberately used this riddle as a reminder for the manga. Thanks to the afternoon when Toru Amuro was hired two years ago, he tried his best to recall this riddle.Otherwise, Matsuda Jinping would be doomed today, the kind that would not be saved even if Jesus came.

By making Toru Amuro a suspect, wouldn't it be possible to reasonably allow him to meet Matsuda Jinpei and get involved without exposing himself?

It is estimated that the prisoner scratched his head and couldn't think of it.My riddle meeting collided with the national comics.I'm such a genius!
Yuji touched the corners of his eyes with the yellow wasabi in the pork cutlet rice just now, and looked at Matsuda Jinhei with tears in his eyes.

"I think that person is probably my comic assistant."

"When did he start working as your assistant? What's his name?"

"Toru Amuro. He applied for the position as an assistant two years ago, but he said that he worked part-time in Tokyo for two years before becoming an assistant."

Four years ago, we met.

Kenji, I found him!
