Conan: I am really a good person

Chapter 73 Excellent Police Officer

The circling sirens stopped.

The elite police officers from the First Search Division arrived, led by a chubby middle-aged police officer with sharp eyes who introduced himself as 'Megure Thirteen' and asked others to call him Officer Megure.

Officer Megure and his men seemed to be extremely capable and full-fledged search elites. However, after hearing that the murderer had been brought to justice, they did not hesitate for even a second and overjoyed and rushed past everyone towards the future. "Thank you so much." Got it!"

He stared deeply at the future of Ichichi, as if he was remembering with his heart a man with a wanted amount of tens of millions of dollars, "Detective Ichichi, right? He is really young and promising!"

"Leave a contact!"

He didn't even care about being avoided in the handshake, and calmly changed to holding a wrist that would be covered by sleeves in the future, "I heard my subordinates mention you, the great detective who came back from the United States!"

A future: "?"

A future: "..."

Well, after arriving at the scene of the crime, shouldn't the police immediately interrogate separately on the spot or go back to the station to record a confession, and even if someone confesses, they should not comment on it and let the evidence speak for themselves?
Why don't you even verify it?Not sure if the deceased was actually killed by the person who confessed?

It’s okay if you don’t verify it, but…

It turns out that Neon's detective status is so high that even the elite police are so enthusiastic?
Or are the detectives who 'returned from America' special?

Also, 'I heard my subordinates mention you'...

Ignoring some shortcomings that must not be pondered over, the police are quite well-informed, which can barely be regarded as one of the characteristics of an elite police force.

Mirai Ichijo lowered his head, looked at Megure Thirteen's hand that was holding his wrist tightly, and confirmed: "Are you from Souichi's police department?"

"Don't you need to confirm the murderer again?"

"Yes," Megure Thirteen added, "Search Section [-] Forced Criminal Search Division [-] Police Department."

After he finished staring, he let go and muttered, "Okay, he is really handsome, no wonder..."

He waved his hand again, "No, no, didn't the murderer plead guilty? The evidence is there again, and the case can be closed."

A future: "..."

You know there must be something wrong with the source.

Isn’t the most elite part of the Neon Police in Souyi?Is this the elite?
Ichijo Mirai didn't understand, but he was shocked and didn't want to understand at all, "It's the end of the 19th century, the years all start with 21, it's normal for the police not to be professional in the [-]st century."

Also arriving with the police was a detective.

A middle-aged detective who looks to be in his late 40s is Mao Lilan's father, Mao Li Kogoro.

Unlike Memu Shisan who immediately locked onto a future and rushed towards it, he was not overly enthusiastic and only looked at it from a distance.

But the same thing is that I muttered a few words, "No wonder the client who recently commissioned me asked me in such a roundabout way if I wanted to transfer the commission to a new person in the same industry and give me some support."

The same thing is that he also didn't ask too much about the case, and he had no intention of re-examining the case and solving it himself.

They naturally acquiesced: The person who confessed must be the real culprit.

Not only the police department and detectives, but also the police responsible for collecting clues around the body took it for granted. They put half of the cigarette next to the body into an evidence bag, and reported solemnly and yet surprisingly: "Police department, the key evidence has been collected! "

The evidence bag was transparent and contained only one cigarette, but the cigarette was a two-section cigarette. The cigarette butt and body had been pinched open, and the smoker did not use a filter.

A future gaze stayed on the evidence bag for a few seconds, then turned to look for Conan. Unsurprisingly, he found Conan staring at the evidence bag with twinkling eyes. When he noticed his sight, he looked up. His eyes were particularly shining, like a A sharp dagger tempered in the middle of the flames.

The dagger waved in the air and made a hunting sound: Naomichi Tanaka is not the murderer!

Because Minagawa Katsuhiko never touched the poisonous filter, the poison he got was not from the cigarette.

"Ichijou-nii," Conan walked up to Ichijo Mirai and asked in a moderate voice, "Didn't Tanaka-nii say that he poisoned the filter of the cigarette?"

"But the filter and the cigarette body in the evidence bag are separate, right? Brother Minagawa doesn't use a filter when he smokes."

"Could it be that when Brother Minagawa smokes without a filter, he also holds the filter in his mouth?"

He frowned, "That's weird."

Hearing this supplementary information, Megure Thirteen's face became serious, "Mr. Tanaka said he was poisoned by the filter?"

"I'll go ask."

Tanaka Naomichi had not yet gotten into the police car and was receiving a pair of silver handcuffs issued by the police in the courtyard. Before he could put them on, he was questioned by the police again.He didn't know why, so he confessed honestly: "Yes, I put poison on the filter."

"Don't you hold the filter in your mouth when you smoke? You only need to poison the filter. There is no need to poison other parts. Adding too much poison will produce a weird smell."

Then came the police officer who collected the cigarettes. He studied the evidence bag carefully and handed it to Megure Thirteen, "Officer Megure, the cigarette butt is dry, and the part connected to the filter is the ignition part, and the end of the cigarette is It’s wet.”

Moreover, "the deceased had only taken one or two puffs of cigarette, and the tear marks on the ignition part were still obvious."

This shows that Tanaka Naomichi's poison did not reach the point of poisoning Minagawa Katsuhiko.

Megure Thirteen's expression changed, and he subconsciously looked at Mirai Ichijo, "But, Detective Ichijo...oh, no wonder you asked, 'Do you want to identify the real murderer again?'"

"You didn't say the murderer was Naomichi Tanaka!"

"That,"

He looked at Watanabe Haomei, who was being questioned in the corner of the living room, and his eyes became sharp, "Is that the lady?"

The policeman who collected the evidence exchanged a few words with his colleagues and held up an evidence bag containing chocolate. "The chocolate next to the body has also been collected. Just test it and you will know whether it is poisonous!"

There were three suspects present.

Since it was not Naomichi Tanaka, the only two remaining suspects were Watanabe Komi who gave away the chocolates, and Mrs. Minagawa who cooked the meals that everyone ate.

Compared to Mrs. Minagawa, of course Watanabe is more suspicious.

It was so big that when Ichijo Mirai saw Mouri Kogoro, his eyes sharpened instantly, "Miss Watanabe!"

He and Megure Thirteen reached an agreement and quite swore that "Mr. Minagawa took Miss Watanabe's chocolate before his death."

"Everyone ate what Mrs. Minagawa cooked. It can't be that the food is poisonous, right? It can only be Miss Watanabe!"

Mumu Shisan nodded in agreement, "In that case, let's send the chocolate and cigarettes for testing first."

"Don't tell them just yet."

Mirai Ichijo said nothing.

He lowered his head again and looked at Conan.

After eliminating a suspect and relocating the murderer, Conan's brows were still furrowed. He looked at Watanabe, who was unaware, and Tanaka Naomichi, who was willing to submit to the law, and then looked for Mrs. Minagawa.

Mrs. Minagawa is talking to the police.

Because she was the mother of the deceased, and everyone had eaten the food she cooked, there were relatively few suspects. Only two young police officers were taking statements.

But they're not in the living room, they're in the kitchen.

The faucet in the kitchen was on, and Mrs. Minagawa was washing the coffee cup slowly while answering the police's questions in a low voice. The soft voice of the story came faintly, and she seemed to be quite cooperative.

……and many more.

Not long after his son died, he calmly washed the coffee cup?Even if they are not biological sons, they have been together for seven years, so they are a bit indifferent, right?
Conan rummaged through memories: Mrs. Minagawa smiled after watching Ichijo Mirai drink coffee and eat cake.

He searched through his memories again: Minagawa would be scolded for eating chocolate, but after drinking coffee, Mrs. Minagawa fed him cakes with added sweetness!
After capturing these two clips, he immediately went to look for Susumu Minagawa.

Minagawa Susumu was being gently questioned by two policewomen in another corner of the living room. He was covering his cheeks with tears in his eyes. Although he did not cry out immediately due to the arrival of the police, he was sobbing from time to time. It was obviously due to tooth decay. .

As he watched, Conan's eyes darkened.

He looked up at Mirai Ichijo and said, "Brother Ichijo, Mrs. Minagawa is so weird, eh."

It stopped abruptly when it met the gaze of the future.

Mirai Ichijo looked at Conan with a smile, "What's wrong?"

He squatted down, went through the process of touching the child's head perfunctorily, and praised gently: "What a keen little detective, like a born policeman."

And asked directly: "Have you considered becoming an elite police officer such as Souyi or the FBI in the future? It can be from any country, as long as it is a police force that can participate in transnational pursuit of criminals."

If you have considered it...
