Chapter 1399 The Dark Tracker (Case)

However, Karasawa's complaints were temporary, and soon Karasawa and Yamato Gansuke began to chat.

"What about Zhufu-kun and Uehara-san?" Karasawa looked at Yamato Gansuke and asked, "I remember they were also in Tokyo a few days ago."

"I didn't leave after handing over the case before, so I was left directly behind."

Speaking of this, Yamato Gansuke gloated: "As for the two of them going back, Uehara helped me stay in Gunma County to facilitate timely communication.

As for Gao Ming, he is currently with the Xinye Department and is not qualified to participate in the department's cases. "

"I remember that he wanted to go back to the headquarters. I guess you will be able to work together soon." Tang Ze said with a smile when he heard this.

"That guy had better not come back." Yamato Kansuke had a disgusted expression on his face when he heard this, but in fact Karasawa knew that as a good friend, he would definitely welcome it, and the smile on his lips also showed this.

"Speaking of which, didn't that kid with glasses come over today?" Henggou Sengo looked around behind Mouri Kogoro and asked immediately.

"A brat with glasses?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately responded: "Are you still talking about Conan?"

"Yes, that's him!" Henggou said, "When he's around, the cases are always solved smoothly!"

"Speaking of which, it seemed that I was the same at that time," Henggou Shigego recalled.

"Me too." Yamamura Cao echoed closely.

After hearing his words, both Karasawa at the scene and Conan, who was eavesdropping with the help of Mouri Kogoro's bug, couldn't help but feel tight in their hearts.

Not only because the criminals who had dealt with Conan began to notice the illusion that cases would be solved smoothly when Conan was around.

It's also because compared to others, this sloppy guy like Yamamura is the only criminal who has been anesthetized by Conan and used as a stand-in to solve cases.

Given the nonchalant nature of the other party, if the discussion continues in these forms, I am afraid that Yamamura Soo will say that he lost consciousness to solve the case, which will be troublesome.

"I heard from you that my disciple seemed to have provided you with some help on the case when I didn't know it?"

Realizing that something was wrong, Tang Ze hurriedly opened his mouth and changed the subject with a smile: "That child is indeed smart, and he learns things very quickly with me. I have taken him to many scenes, and his reasoning can be considered modeled." Something like that.

However, after all, I am still young and inevitably have shortcomings. If you encounter it in the future, please take care of it.

As for now, although Conan is here with Detective Maori, he is still young after all, and is waiting outside the conference room with Xiaolan. "

"So he is a disciple of Karasawa Criminal!" Yamamura Cao exclaimed after hearing this: "No wonder he is so powerful at such a young age."

"It is true that he has a maturity that far exceeds that of ordinary people." Henggou Shigego heard this and said: "But with Karasawa Criminal you taking him to the crime scene to study, it is reasonable to have such growth."

"Even so, he is an incredible kid." Yamato Gansuke commented.

"Let's stop chatting here. Officer Megure and Police Inspector Matsumoto are here."

Tangze, who wanted to end the topic, immediately ended the topic when he saw the two of them entering the door: "Everyone, please find a seat and sit down. It's time to get down to business."

After hearing this, everyone looked towards the door and nodded, and soon the crowd dispersed.

Conan, who heard everyone leaving outside the door, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Tangze Criminal was on the scene to change the topic in time, otherwise if they let the discussion continue, he would probably lose his vest.

Moreover, Yamamura Cao had been anesthetized by himself. With his unruly temperament, he would definitely tell the truth about his unconsciousness.

That will be the big deal then. After all, although there are sloppy guys like Yamamura Fu in this group of people, there are also sharp criminals like Yamato Gansuke.

If they were allowed to summarize the information and Mouri Kogoro suddenly leaked the information, it would be really over.

After all, Mouri Kogoro was unconscious when he solved the case, and when he woke up, he had no memory of how the case was solved.

Even if Kogoro Mouri feels guilty and won't say it out loud, it is inevitable to have doubts in his heart.

Fortunately, Tang Ze was also there, and when he realized that the topic was not good, he helped him change the topic in time, thus avoiding the risk of exposure.

However, even Conan didn't realize that he, who originally resisted the title of master and apprentice, had subconsciously acknowledged this title in various incidents and "crisis situations", and even began to use this title frequently to do things.

After sending signals and concealing his identity again and again, Conan will probably gradually become accustomed to this identity, just like he started to act cute in a child's voice after getting smaller.

It may feel shameful at first, but in the end it will become "really delicious".

Not mentioning Conan's side, after Karasawa dismissed everyone, everyone took their seats, while Yamamura Soo looked around and then moved closer to Karasawa.

"Karasawa Criminal, who is that one who looks so fierce?" Yamamura Cao asked in a low voice.

"That's the Matsumoto police officer I'm talking about." Karasawa whispered back: "That's the management officer of the First Investigation Division. Go back and sit down quickly."

"Eh? Does it look like this?" Yamamura Cao said in surprise: "It looks so fierce."

"After all, he was a fierce man who was slashed in the left eye by the murderer, and was able to snatch the samurai sword from the prisoner's hand and strike back with a knife." Tang Ze said with a smile: "Hurry up and find a place to sit, be careful of being scolded."

"Ah?" Yamamura Cao glanced at Matsumoto Kiyonaga guiltily after hearing this, and quickly found a place to sit down.

When everyone sat down, the case information was distributed one by one on the table.

Shiratori, as the case commentator, began to talk about the compiled information.

There were six serial murder cases in total. Except for the sixth case, the other five cases had in common that the criminals stabbed the victims to death with knives.

Judging from the wounds on the corpse, it was killed with a knife from top to bottom.

In addition, the victim's body still had traces of injuries from electric batons. It was obvious that he was stunned first and then moved to the crime scene for killing and dumping.

And there is a big question in this.

Under normal circumstances, murders are carried out as covertly as possible to minimize the traces of murder and prolong the time it takes for the body to be discovered.

And why did this prisoner do the opposite and go to all the trouble to stun the deceased and move him to the location where the crime was not hidden to kill him?

Hearing Bai Niao's words, everyone couldn't help but frown.

Although everyone here has parallel imports, there are also many who are capable.

After hearing Shiratiao's words, many people realized that the prisoner's actions were unusual.

And this kind of criminal behavior, which is different from the criminal psychology of ordinary prisoners, also illustrates one thing. This prisoner has his own theory of action to support him. This may be some kind of ritual, or there may be some special revenge meaning in those places.

If you want to catch this criminal, you must get close to his thinking frequency and understand why he does what he does. Only in this way can you understand the other party's thinking and actions.

Before casting the screen, Shiratiao watched everyone digest this information and continued: "In addition, we found red circles on the bodies of all the victims in these six cases, with Latin words written on the back. Mahjong tiles with letters and black vertical lines.

It is obvious that this is criminal information left intentionally by the criminal suspect. "

Tang Ze looked at the document in front of him, which showed the mahjong tiles left at the scene of each deceased person in the order in which the case occurred.

The first prisoner's mahjong was "one cake", which was all painted in red.

Starting from the second prisoner, all the mahjong tiles have changed into "seven cakes", and the red positions are on the circles that make up the different positions of "seven cakes".

For example, the second prisoner, that is, the first "Seven Pies" mahjong tile has the third circle painted red.

The third prisoner is the last circle, and the fourth becomes the fourth circle (the upper left circle of the four circles below the seven loaves).

The fifth circle again became the first circle, while the sixth circle was painted red in the second circle.

There doesn't seem to be any pattern at all.

"Among the four circles under Nanamochi, the lower left and upper right cylinders are not painted in red." Ayano Ogino pointed out the clues he discovered while typing on the keyboard with both hands.

"Are the Latin letters two A and E, H, Z and L written backwards?" Henggou touched his chin and pondered.

"In addition, when we checked the belongings of the six victims, we also found that three people seemed to have randomly taken an item from them." Shiratiao said.

Listening to Shiratori's words about the case and looking at the missing items shown in the documents in his hand, Tangze's eyes narrowed unconsciously.

In the column of the victim's lost items, there are various items including pendants, necklaces or amulets, wallets, motorcycle key chains, mascot dolls, and makeup boxes.

But Tang Ze's eyes were fixed on the lost items of one of the victims.

Gangkura Masaaki, the belongings he lost were amulets!
  The reason why Tang Ze was so shaken by an item was because he had determined which case it was based on the case information Shiratori mentioned earlier and the file information in front of him.

Theatrical version, the dark stalker!
  And this drama involves a black organization!
  The reason why the organization paid attention to this case was because there was an organized undercover among the victims.

And this undercover agent carries a memory card with the organization's undercover roster.

What's even more fatal is that the murderer took away the memory card when taking away the deceased's belongings.

Under such circumstances, the black organization naturally has to destroy the evidence quickly. Otherwise, when the prisoner is caught and the items taken away are recovered, careful inspection will be carried out.

At that time, the organization's list will be directly exposed.

That's why the black organization went out this time, and even sneaked into the police to search for information, just to find the prisoner as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Karasawa unconsciously glanced at Matsumoto Kiyonaga who was sitting in the seat, his eyes looking a little deep.

He suddenly thought of the information contained in the beetle.

This time Matsumoto Kiyonaga will be outsourced by Ireland, and the beetle is a distress message sent by the real Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

However, Karasawa soon resisted the urge to directly rescue Matsumoto Kiyonaga and catch him in action.

You can't touch him yet. If you expose the other party on the spot, you can certainly mess up the black organization's plan, but the other party will also react quickly.

At that time, the other party will definitely treat Ireland as an abandoned son and silence him, and at the same time continue to hunt down the criminals to ensure that the evidence can be destroyed.

So the key is not to alert the enemy for the time being, but to seek more results first. It’s just a pity that Matsumoto Kiyoshi will be wronged for a few days.
  With this in mind, Tangze calmed down and continued to focus on the case.

While Tangze was meditating, a group of criminals had already discussed whether the prisoners had taken the items on the deceased, or whether they had been left behind when the prisoners moved the deceased.

In the end, since everyone had lost items, it was unanimously concluded that the prisoner had taken it.

Of course, this was useless information to Tangze, because he had already determined this.

"Well, the focus now is indeed the information on the mahjong tiles." Officer Megure said thoughtfully.

"There is actually one more thing about information."

Shiratori looked at the crowd and said, "As for the sixth victim, Mr. Ryuzaki left a death message of "Nabata Kyo" after the car accident."

"Ryuzaki may have seen the suspect at the Daikanyama Rest House where the brake fluid was leaking." Jugo Yokomori guessed after looking at the information.

"Well, everyone~ maybe we can think simpler!"

Just as everyone was discussing, Mouri Kogoro stood up swornly and said directly in the midst of the noisy discussion: "Mahjong tiles are just mahjong tiles, and the motive for murder revolves around disputes arising from mahjong.

The two mahjong tiles, one cake and seven cakes, may refer to eight people playing mahjong.

As for the two circles that are not painted red among the four circles under the mahjong tile Qibi, one of them refers to the murderer himself, while the other refers to the final victim. "

"Then the crime will continue!?"

Because of Mouri Kogoro's wise judgment in the past, Officer Megure immediately became serious after hearing Moori Kogoro's words.

"I'm afraid that's it." Mouri Kogoro nodded confidently.

But this is really a fool's blessing. This time, Mouri Kogoro was indeed fooled.

"But if there are eight people, wouldn't it be better to use eight cakes?" Shiratori asked with some confusion after hearing what Mouri Kogoro said.

"But actually one loaf and seven loaves have another meaning."

Mouri Kogoro said in a serious tone: "That is to say, the prisoner listened to the two cards of one cake and seven cakes, and only one of them is short of being able to reverse the game and win in an instant!"

"I see!!"

Amid all the criminal turmoil, Sengo Yokomori, as a die-hard fan of Kogoro Moori, firmly believed in what he said: "But despite this, someone still got rid of him."

"That's why the murderer became so angry!" Yamamura Cao also had a look of realization on his face, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Mouri Kogoro.

It's just that these words made Karasawa's mouth twitch. After all, no matter how you look at it, Mouri Kogoro just superimposed his hobby of playing mahjong on his reasoning.

There is absolutely nothing reliable about it!
