The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 33 Tacit understanding and trust

Irie's full name is Irie Kakuo. He is 46 years old and lives with his wife.

He opened a hardware store in Tokyo 14 years ago. He is a taciturn person who doesn't like to deal with people, but his neighbors praise his knife sharpening skills as unparalleled in the world.

The tattoo on the shoulder was done ten years ago, and the pattern is from the trophy won after winning the table tennis competition at a community event.

Matsuda Jinpei interrupted Date's narration and said, "Was the tattoo done ten years ago?"

"Yes, the person who played doubles with him at that time was Mr. Wai Shou, I have already asked." After thinking for a while, Itahang continued: "Also, he said to his wife at that time, 'Go and water the flowers. ’… I don’t understand what it means at all.”

After hearing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang quickly reacted and said, "In the Nagano dialect, 'watering' is always called 'watering'!"

"Hey... In that case, isn't this Mr. Irie from Nagano Prefecture? At least he lived in Nagano Prefecture, right?" Hagiwara Kenji said excitedly.

"Hagi, you forgot something." Matsuda Jinpei said seriously, "If the tattoo was done ten years ago, it won't be the same as it was 15 years ago."

"That's true." Hagiwara Kenji picked up his notepad and said, "Let's talk about it next. I'm in charge of Mr. Laundromat."

Mr. Wai Shou, whose full name is Wai Shouyi, is 55 years old and lives alone.

It turned out that his uncle was the owner of the laundry, and he fell ill.Originally, he was just helping his uncle when he was hospitalized, but after his uncle passed away, he has been running the business ever since.

The Guanyin tattoo on the upper arm seems to be tattooed in memory of his wife and mother who died in a traffic accident 20 years ago at the same time. During the tattoo, the face of Guanyin was deliberately tattooed to face each other.

"That uncle is also a repairman who is praised by the neighbors in the neighborhood. He graduated from a university with an engineering degree. He heard that simple electrical appliances can be repaired. He is just like Zhenping!"

Kenji Hagiwara looked at the police notepad in his hand and said, "The reason why I doubles with the Irie group is because I heard they are from the same town."

The hometown also shows that Gai Shouyi's hometown is most likely also Nagano Prefecture.Ritsu Sasashima made a mental note and continued to listen to who Matsuda was responsible for.

The object Matsuda is in charge of is called Monobu Wednesday, 35 years old this year. The scorpion tattoo on the back of his neck is a sign of joining the underworld organization when he was young and frivolous. That underworld is called the Scorpion Cup.

I was 20 years old when I got the tattoo, but the tattoo is on my neck, and my current marriage status is also single, living alone.

After listening to the contents of the investigation of the three suspects, there was an inexplicable sense of incongruity. Sasashima noticed Jing Guang's pensive expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah...I just remembered the phone call with my brother some time ago." Zhu Fu Jingguang explained: "My brother said that the place I was hiding at that time was not a Japanese-style wall cabinet with sliding doors, but a wardrobe that opened out."

"Did you confuse your house with your relative's house in Tokyo? I remember that the house was a Japanese-style house, so there were only paper doors and wall cabinets."

"Well, it should be."

The wardrobe that opens outwards, so the subtle sense of incongruity is here!
Matsuda Jinpei, who also noticed this point, expressed his doubts: "But if this is the case, it will be very strange? If the place where he hides is a wardrobe that opens outwards, if the murderer hits it because of his slippery feet, the door will be closed. Lock it up, so you can't see the murderer at all?"

Listening to their discussion, Datehang recalled the closet at home, and couldn't help saying: "Maybe the gap where Zhu Fu looked out...was not vertical, but horizontal?"

Sasashima Ritsu, who came to his senses, quickly said, "Squad leader, what do you mean...the wardrobe is a shutter door?"

"That's right, if the closet is a shutter door, you can see the outside even if you close the door... So the tattoo pattern you saw at that time should not be a goblet."

"?!"

If the top and bottom cannot be seen because of the blinds, then the opposite Guanyin statue will be regarded as a goblet!
After realizing who the murderer was, everyone dropped the mops in their hands one after another, and quickly ran towards the police academy.

The Waishou Laundry run by Waishouichi is located at 1-2, Asahi-cho, not far from the police academy, and it takes less than 8 minutes to get there through their running speed.

Matsuda Jinpei pushed the door open abruptly, and shouted into the store: "Hey, uncle guard, are you there?!"

The laundromat was unusually quiet, and there were no employees. It looked like a vacation slip.

Jiang Gu Ling turned his head to look at the front-loading washing machine, but noticed that the wires were actually connected between the two washing machines. He reached out to open it, but Matsuda stopped him loudly when he found out: "Don't touch it! It's a bomb!!!"

"Bomb, bomb?!"

Matsuda Jinpei, who is very familiar with this kind of thing, squatted down with his hands on his hips, looked at these improvised bombs connected by wires, and said, "Well, they are connected to other washing machines, and they might blow up the entire shopping street. ah."

"However, the one on the far right seems to be the source, as long as it is stopped, it will be fine."

Zhu Fu Jingguang was puzzled and said, "But why did you set up a bomb?"

"Now is not the time to think about this kind of thing. Matsuda will trouble you to dismantle the bomb. Zhu Fu and I will go find the outside guards, and the others will ask the surrounding residents to evacuate!"

"Yes, squad leader!"

"Wait!" Matsuda Jinhei stretched out his bandage-wrapped hand, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, my hand is in this state and I can't do fine work, but can you replace me, Hagi?"

"Although I wanted to say 'wrapped on me', did I forget that my hand was also scratched by that cat?" Hagiwara Kenji said with a wry smile, stretching out his two bandaged fingers.

The two of them set their sights on Sasashima, and they wanted to ask Sasashima, who was second only to them in terms of bomb disposal, because of his nimble fingers. Unfortunately, he was just scratched by glass yesterday, and his dominant left hand was also covered with bandages.

"Then there's no other way, I have to let Zero come here."

"Call me? But I didn't..."

"I'll teach you, just relax!"

"it is good."

Sasashima and Hagiwara ran outside the store and began to evacuate the crowd in the shopping street, in order to prevent unnecessary casualties from the bomb explosion.

Although they still trust their partners very much in their hearts.

After evacuating all the people, when he returned to the store, he received the good news that the bomb had been dismantled. At the same time, he saw Ida walking down the stairs with the sleeping little girl in her arms, and Zhu Fu led the murderer to guard outside.

"Looks like we've been busy for nothing, Kosajima."

"Yes."

The outside guard walking down the stairs lowered his head and asked softly, "What time is it?"

"Huh?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the watch and said, "29:[-] p.m. What's wrong?"

"Sorry kid, I'll go down and apologize to your parents..."

The moment his voice fell, there was a huge blasting sound on the second floor. I didn't expect that there would be a bomb on the second floor!

Just when they were panicking, Zhu Fu Jingguang saw the outside guard running quickly towards the second floor engulfed in flames, knowing that he was going to commit suicide, Jing Guang hurriedly followed.

"Don't go to Zhufu! It's too late!!"

"Turn back quickly—Jing!"

When Zhu Fu Jingguang stepped on the last step, he looked back and shouted loudly: "Outside! Cherry blossoms!"

Matsuda Jinpei frowned and said, "What is he talking about? It's not time for the cherry blossoms to bloom yet?"

Cherry blossoms?bloom?

The scene in the bathhouse, where Matsuda Jinpei opened his arms and showed the class flag came to mind.

Is that the case?

Quickly running to the balcony on the second floor, the five of them spread out the class banner with "Sakura Blossoms" printed on it, waiting for a certain "hero" to appear.

This is the tacit understanding and unconditional trust between them.

He successfully led the guard out of the sea of ​​flames and jumped out without hesitation. Zhu Fu Jingguang lay on the banner and heard the sob of the guard being dragged by him.

"Let... let me die..."

"That can't be done, you have to make a good atonement first."
