The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 797 Is this what it feels like to be a person with connections?

Fujino and Sato have already driven to the company of the witness Dejima.

Dejima is the president of a company. Although it is not very large, he can be considered a wealthy man in the capital world.

Belong to the group that harvests leeks.

I just arrived at the underground parking lot of Dejima Company.

A black Mercedes also happened to stop next to Fujino's car.

Fujino glanced over and saw Dejima in the cab.

Miwako Sato was the first to greet him: "Good morning, Mr. Dejima."

Dejima was stunned when he heard this, and there was a hint of evasion in his eyes.

Fujino caught this evasion and asked directly: "Mr. Dejima, you said last night that you saw the face of the hit-and-run criminal. Is that correct?"

"Yes, but...I was wrong yesterday."

Dejima hesitated for a moment, "Last night when I went home and sorted out my memory, the person driving the car seemed to be a woman, and the license plate number was also wrong."

"Hey, are you kidding?"

Miwako Sato frowned: "You swore yesterday that it was your son's birthday!"

Dejima lowered his head and said, "I am ashamed to say that as a father, I even got my son's birthday wrong."

"you……"

"Okay, Sato."

Fujino stopped Sato Miwako from continuing.

He looked towards Dejima and said in a deep voice, "Did someone come to see you?"

"..."

Fujino's guess was confirmed by Dejima's silence.

He spoke without any emotional fluctuations.

It was something that had been expected a long time ago, so why would it be unexpected?
He thought for a moment and looked at Dejima: "Mr. Dejima, I won't force you, but at least you can tell me what the person who came to you looks like, right?"

"After all, you, I, and everyone else know this kind of thing."

After hearing this, Dejima was silent for a while, and then he said, "He was a man wearing glasses, with a fierce look and short hair... That's all I can say."

"I understand."

Fujino nodded and turned around without hesitation: "Sato, let's go."

Dejima bowed deeply to the two people who turned and left, "I'm sorry, but I also have family and employees to protect!"

Fujino did not respond, but walked out of Dejima Company slowly.

In his opinion, the other party should have grasped the weak spot of leaving the island.

The other party can even influence the Metropolitan Police Department, so it is really easy for them to do anything they want.

Find a dark place to detain him for three days. His children are his weak spot. Putting a accusation on him will affect his children's files.

…………

The two came to the underground parking lot.

Sato Miwako's face showed a hint of anger, but more of it was helplessness: "Last night, you asked us to catch the murderer... but you changed your mind today."

"Everyone has a weak spot, and once it is grasped, there is no way out of one's control."

Fujino put his hands in his pockets: "If I were in his position, I would definitely make the same choice. After all, people don't live for themselves. There is always more to consider when living in this world."

"Using family members to threaten witnesses?"

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako murmured something and her face darkened.

Family is indeed a weak spot that cannot be avoided.

If it were her, others would use her mother as a threat.

She would probably make the same choice.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Fujino also shook his head helplessly: "No need to threaten, just say that you have to think about your family too." "Dinglingling!"

At this time, the phone rang.

Sato Miwako answered the phone, her expression immediately became even gloomier, she gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice: "How abominable!"

"what happened?"

"Mr. Kataoka has also changed his statement."

Sato Miwako put away the phone with a gloomy face: "He said he had never seen Utada Ryuichi come to his store."

"Isn't this normal?"

"But……"

Miwako Sato knocked on the roof of the Ford Taurus next to her: "This way, there is no witness. That guy has completely exposed himself."

"..."

Fujino glanced at her and could understand why she was angry.

I got used to everything going smoothly, but one day I found out that the thing I had been protecting was just someone else's plaything...

That feeling of powerlessness and at a loss as to what to do, in the end, I could only feel helpless and angry.

The more righteous you are in your heart, the more aggrieved you feel.

Speaking of which, these kinds of things are common in any world, and even make him feel like he has returned to his previous life.

After all, the world of science is too fairy-tale-like. Detectives solve cases and the police arrest people. As long as they have evidence, criminals can be brought to justice, regardless of their identities.

Actually, that's not the case. If you think about it carefully, among the people Conan has dealt with, not many are capable of interfering with the Warning Department.

The murderer is the son of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and has connections in the National Police Agency.

In the world of science, this is already a top-level murderer.

Just as Fujino was thinking in his heart, the ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

He took out his phone and looked at the note: [Matsumoto Kiyonaga]

Fujino thought for a moment and answered the phone: "Manager Matsumoto, what can I do for you?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's voice came from the other end: "You and Sato should be investigating Utada Ryuichi's case right now, right?"

"Yes, it's under investigation. She is with me now. Do you have any instructions?"

"Fujino-kun, please turn on the speakerphone."

Fujino did as he was told, and then Matsumoto Kiyonaga's voice rang out: "I will now take over this case concerning Utada Ryuichi."

"According to the information we have so far, the current Foreign Minister Utada is suspected of hiring a killer and other crimes. Now the people in the Investigation Section will fully investigate this case."

"At the same time, the foreign minister's son, Utada Ryuichi, has also been involved. Sato Miwako has been appointed to take full command of Utada Ryuichi's hit-and-run case, and advisor Fujino Doji will provide guidance on this case."

As Matsumoto Kiyonaga finished his words, the car fell into silence.

Seeing that the two did not respond, Matsumoto Kiyonaga said, "Don't worry about anything. Just get to the bottom of this case. If you need anything, just ask for support."

"understand!"

Sato Miwako came to her senses and immediately responded.

Fujino next to him was a little surprised at this moment.

It’s not that I didn’t expect to be able to resume the normal investigation, but I didn’t expect it to be so outrageous.

If you use your toes to guess the situation now, you will know that it was the rich woman who took action.

But as soon as he did it, he accused the current foreign minister of hiring a killer, and seemed to be trying to get him out of office...

Is this what it feels like to be a relative? !
In one word, cool!

This feeling even made Fujino feel like he was holding the emperor's sword, beheading the tyrants and treacherous ministers.

But on second thought, he felt that the influence of the rich woman was a little too outrageous.

Behead the tyrant emperor and the treacherous ministers.

Isn't this what the emperor should do?
Can this little rich woman still be a princess?
