Chapter 1398 The Dark Tracker (Gathering)

Saburo Sakurada was once forced by society to the point where he had no choice but to sell his identity, and that ordeal also affected his later life.

He got a job at Meilikan under the introduction of Kudo Yusaku. Because he didn't want to lose his hard-earned life, he worked hard there and kept improving.

After the initial experience of running in a foreign country such as the language, he began to make continuous progress and became a scroll king.

Later, because of his excellent ability, he was poached by a headhunting company. Later, because of his continuous learning and progress, he successfully entered a large local enterprise.

In terms of love, this guy also had good luck and picked up a blond girl who was living on the street after her family was broken up due to a case and her house was taken away for repayment of the loan.

After asking Kudo Yusaku to help solve the case and find the murderer, he took the other party in and hired the girl as a housewife.

Then they naturally got together, and now the other person has changed his nationality with Melician's green card and has settled down there.

After knowing the other party's current situation, Tang Ze was also very surprised. He did not expect that the once down-and-out guy really seized the opportunity he gave him and finally became the winner in life.

But this is better. The more successful the other party is, the more he can cover up his past experience of poverty. Now that his nationality has changed, it will be even harder to follow the clues to find out about Miyano Akemi's identity.

Of course, these were just emotional thoughts that flashed through Tangze's mind. In reality, everyone was still trying to persuade Yuanta to give up climbing the tree.

"By the way, why don't you Yuanta try a retractable strap?"

Looking at Genta who was a little unwilling, Dr. Ali suddenly suggested.

"Retractable strap?" Mitsuhiko asked with a confused look on his face: "What is that?"

"Is this what you gave me just now, Doctor?" Conan took out a black rope from his pocket and asked.

"That's it. I've made some upgrades and improvements. As long as you press the button, it can expand and contract freely within a hundred meters." Dr. A Li explained with a smile.

"Use this to hoist Genta up?"

Tangze reached out and took Conan's retractable belt: "I'll go up and tie it up. It feels quite interesting."

"Pay attention to safety." Ayako on the side couldn't help but warned.

"Okay, aren't you confident about my skills?" Tang Ze waved his hand.

"Who is worried about you? I'm worried about Genta's safety." Ayako said angrily: "What if the tree falls down accidentally?"

"Don't worry, the quality of the telescopic belt studied by the doctor is still guaranteed." Tang Ze said with a smile: "There will be no accidents."

Karasawa said as he climbed up the tree with the telescopic belt, tied one end of it to the rope, and lowered the other end.

After Conan on the side tied up Genta, Karasawa pressed the button, and the telescopic belt pulled Genta upwards.

"Ah, stop it quickly!!"

As the telescopic belt continued to shrink, Yuantai felt that he was getting closer and faster to the tree branch he was tied to.

Seeing that he was about to hit him, Tangze quickly pressed the button to pause the retractable strap, and finally stopped it.

"Huh, I almost got slapped in the face." Tangze wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled and glanced down at Ayako.

The other party rolled his eyes at Tang Ze angrily: "I told you to be careful."

"I almost hit my head."

Yuantai was also startled, but just after he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw stag beetles crawling on the tree trunk and immediately said excitedly: "I found stag beetles!! Sure enough, there are many in high places!"

"That's great, Genta." Ayumi smiled sheepishly when she saw Genta's unconcerned appearance.

Just when Genta was struggling to catch the beetle on the tree, suddenly a unicorn flew past the eyes of Mitsuhiko and the others.

"It's the Unicorn Fairy!" Bumi said excitedly: "Hurry up and chase!"

"Don't let it run away!" Mitsuhiko also quickly chased in the direction of the One-horned Fairy.

The two trotted for a while, and then saw the unicorn fairy staying on a tree trunk without any sense of danger.

"Wow, there's another one!"

Mitsuhiko watched the one-horned fairy staying on a tree with flowing sap. After running over, he said excitedly: "There are two of them at once!"

"They are eating tree sap!" Ayumi said excitedly as she watched the rhinoceros licking the tree sap.

This is the joy of children, simple and pure, and they are very happy when they get two beetles.

"Ah?"

Mitsuhiko looked at another unicorn on the tree and picked it up: "Look at this female unicorn, it actually has tape on its wings!"

"It's true, it's too much!" Ayumi came up to take a look, and found that the wings were covered with long strips of tape.

"There are words on the tape." Mitsuhiko hesitated when he saw the English words on it: "This is"

"It's "Open". It's quite common on the bentos sold in convenience stores." Dr. Ari recalled this, "Speaking of which, it was also on the fried chicken bento I bought yesterday."

"fried chicken?"

After hearing what Dr. A Li said, Haiyuan glanced at Dr. A Li: "Did you secretly eat fried food again?"

"Ah ha ha ha." Dr. A Li laughed twice under the needle-like gazes of several Haiyuan, and quickly looked at Mitsuhiko and said: "Give me the horned fairy, and I will tear up the note!"

As he said this, Dr. Ali took the beetle that Mitsuhiko handed him, and complained: "Who is it, to do such a bad thing!"

But the way he pretended to criticize the beetle with a guilty conscience seemed to be forcibly changing the subject.

Huiyuan didn't say anything more about this, he just smiled helplessly to save some face for this old man who was over fifty years old.

"But since these two are only one female and one male, maybe they are lovers!" Mitsuhiko imagined as he grabbed the male unicorn flying from the tree in his hand.

"Then Ayumi, come and give them a name!" Ayumi said enthusiastically: "The boys will be called Cowherd, and the girls will be called Weaver Girl!"

"Speaking of which, Chinese Valentine's Day is coming soon."

When Karasawa said this, he thought of Conan's dream before, and then thought of the Chinese Valentine's Day, and he always felt that it was a sign of an upcoming case.

Although this may be just an illusion, Tangze, who has this feeling, is also on guard.

But what people didn't expect was that on the day of picnic in the forest, no incident occurred, and not even other guests were seen.

After catching the beetles, everyone had a picnic in the forest for lunch, and then returned home safely without any signs of a case.

On the contrary, it was the beetles on the wings that seemed familiar to him, but he didn't know where the familiarity came from.

However, when Karasawa received a call from Officer Megure in the evening, inviting him to participate in a cross-district cooperation serial murder case tomorrow, he temporarily put aside his thoughts. Because obviously everything will be confirmed by tomorrow.

Although Karasawa wants to know more in detail now, Officer Megure said that the situation of this case is too complicated, and they are also sorting out the information so that they can explain it to everyone at the meeting tomorrow.

Therefore, Tangze had no choice but to hold back his inquiring mind and wait for the start of the cooperation meeting tomorrow to learn more about the situation.

And this development is exactly what Tangze wants. After all, after understanding the previous cases, he should be able to compare them and see which cases overlap with the ones in his memory.

Temporarily allowing himself to relax and deal with the difficult case expected tomorrow, Tang Ze quickly fell into sleep.

Early the next morning, Karasawa arrived at the Metropolitan Police Headquarters early in a blue suit.

Arriving at the meeting floor with ease, they found Kogoro Mouri, Xiaolan and Conan standing in front of the door.

'Although I had a hunch, I didn't expect it to be a case related to "Ke Xue".'

After seeing Conan, thinking of yesterday's outing experience and Conan's dream, Tangze felt more and more that this case was unusual.

‘Perhaps it’s a theatrical version. After all, a large-scale battle like this begins with the Metropolitan Police Department search meeting, and the background of the case is generally relatively large. ’

Karasawa's mind was running with thoughts, and he was thinking to himself: 'The previous battle with Kaitou Kidd was also very big, but I don't know which theatrical version it is this time. I will have to identify it carefully later to still have the familiarity of the beetle.'

After all, he has seen the theatrical version, and this is a walking reward package for him. Even if he forgets some details and the general plot, he still remembers them, which does not affect his planning of sufficient rewards.

"Ah, it's Karaze Criminal."

Just when Tang Ze was dazed for a moment, Xiaolan also saw Tang Ze after helping her father straighten his tie, and smiled and said hello: "Good morning~"

"Good morning." Tangze came back to his senses and greeted with a smile: "I didn't expect Detective Maori to be involved in this case."

"How could such an important case be missing from me, Kogoro Mouri!?"

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro said proudly: "As long as I take action, I can solve this kind of case in a matter of minutes!"

"I feel relieved to hear that Detective Maori is so confident."

At this moment, Miwako Sato and Takagi came over with a smile and greeted everyone: "Good morning~"

"Morning." Tang Ze nodded as a greeting.

"It's really hard to trouble Detective Maori to come here so early in the morning." Takagi said politely.

"No, it is also an honor for me to be invited as a special adviser."

Mouri Kogoro said politely, and then said seriously: "I heard that there was a large-scale serial murder case?"

"There was a murder case on the expressway in Odawara City, and mahjong tiles were found at the scene." Takagi nodded.

"The same mahjong tiles also appeared in five murder cases in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Nagano, and Shizuoka." Miwako Sato agreed.

"I see." Mouri Kogoro said thoughtfully, touching his chin.

"Anyway, let's go in quickly." Tang Ze urged: "Since there are so many cases, it's impossible to explain clearly even if you stand outside for a while."

"Yes." Mouri Kogoro came back to his senses and followed Takagi and others into the conference room.

"Conan, are you waiting here?" Tang Ze looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Conan smiled obediently: "Just wait here for uncle to "finish" the case meeting."

Hearing that the other party deliberately paused on the key words, Karasawa understood that the other party should have placed a bug on Mouri Kogoro to facilitate the listening of the case information.

"In that case, I'll go in first." After Tang Ze understood that Conan's words conveyed the message that his help was not needed, he greeted the two of them and entered the conference room.

Although it was still early, the conference room was already filled with criminals from all over.

Although everyone comes from different places and some of them have never met each other, after all, they are all colleagues and are about to cooperate in the investigation, so everyone is actively socializing and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Mouri? It's been a long time!" Sengo Hengo, who discovered a coral, came over excitedly when he saw Kogoro Mouri and said hello to him.

"You're still as loud as ever, Sensu." Mouri Kogoro said, picking his ears.

"Long time no see, Karasawa Criminal." Compared with Mouri Kogoro, the crew-cut Yokomori Jugo had a better impression of Karasawa, and he followed his brother and came over to say hello.

"Long time no see." Tang Ze smiled and said, "I didn't expect you two brothers to come too."

"After all, the case happened in the jurisdiction where our brothers are located." Henggou Shigego said, rubbing his head.

"By the way, this lady behind you is"

After exchanging pleasantries, Mouri Kogoro stared at the cool female criminal in an off-white suit behind the two of them, and couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce you." Sango Hengo said with an apologetic smile: "She is the Ogino Police Department of the Saitama Prefecture Police Department."

"I am Ogino Ayumi, I have heard of these two great names for a long time." Ogino Ayami introduced herself with a smile.

"Ah, I didn't expect that the Saitama Prefecture Police Station actually has a beautiful police officer." Kogoro Mouri scratched his head and praised, obviously he was lustful again.

"Ogino was my junior when I was working in Saitama Prefecture." Hengo said with a smile.

"Hey, has a case also happened in Saitama County?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment and then responded.

"Because the victim who was killed in Tokyo lived in Tokorozawa (a city in southern Saitama Prefecture), I was called here for coordination." Ogino Ayami explained with a smile.

"Where's Mr. Mori, why are you here!" Henggou Sengo asked excitedly, as if he was meeting his idol.

"This time, Detective Mori is here as a special adviser." Miwako Sato said, "This was requested by Director Matsumoto himself."

After hearing Miwako Sato's words, Karasawa looked thoughtful.

"Hmph, how unbecoming it is to ask a detective for help!" Henggou Shigego, who was on the side, said with dissatisfaction and reluctance: "Does it mean that you don't even trust Karasawa's criminal abilities!"

"I feel the same way."

Just then, a voice echoed in the distance. Everyone turned around and saw a long-haired man on crutches walking slowly.

"Yamato dares to help the police department and the Yamamura Police Department."

Looking at the familiar two people, Tang Ze smiled and greeted, "I didn't expect you two to come too."

"Hey, please take care of me this time." Yamamura Cao still looked so unreliable, which made Tang Ze feel ashamed.

Every time he saw the other party and saw that the other party relied on Conan to be promoted to the police force, Karasawa felt worried for the residents of Gunma County.

After all, this guy is really unreliable.
