Chapter 1629 The same case as 17 years ago

Under the dim sky, a car was shuttling through the busy city.

Looking at the busy traffic outside the window and the hurried crowds, Tang Ze in the car felt a strange sense of alienation watching it all.

After spending a leisurely vacation, Tangze always felt that it didn't match the style of this city.

However, this was just a feeling of difference brought about by the fact that the lazy period had not yet ended. Tangze quickly put aside this boring and strange feeling in his heart.

After returning home by car, the two greeted the driver and asked him to park the car and leave. Then they returned to their home they had not returned to for a long time.

Although they haven't been back for a week, everything in the house is as clean as before, without any dust. Compared to Yonehara Sakurako, she cleaned the room regularly when they didn't come back.

Because it was getting late and they had just eaten on the plane, the two of them took a simple shower in the bathroom and then returned to the bedroom to rest.

In order to adjust their schedules on the plane, the two of them resisted not sleeping. Now after taking a shower and lying down on the boat when they got home, they immediately fell asleep.

The sun rises in the east, and when the sky is filled with sunlight again, a new day comes again.

After washing up, the two lazy people who had returned from vacation began to pack up their clothes, adjust their mentality, and go to the workplace to start working.

Of course, Karasawa said it was work, but he was just listening to Koshimi Nanatsuki's recent work report.

However, because Karasawa used his leave card, he only had accumulated daily work during the week he was out. As for the case, he didn't hear anything about it.

At least the Kesouyan's anatomy room has been idle for a week, proving that no case has occurred.

After hearing the news, Tang Ze did not relax. After all, the case was closed and the leave card kept the case from happening.

But now that the "peaceful" period has passed, it would not be surprising for subsequent cases to occur anytime.

Thinking of this, after Tangze finished the work he had accumulated, he walked towards the Metropolitan Police Department.

In any case, if there is a case, the Metropolitan Police Department will be the first to receive the information. As for Conan, he plans to wait until after get off work to visit and see if there are any signs of a case.

After initially planning the follow-up actions, Karasawa had just taken the elevator to the Search Section 1 and before he went in to visit, he saw Officer Megure hurriedly leading Officer Takagi towards the elevator.

After seeing the two of them, Tangze quickly pressed the pause button to keep the elevator open.

"Thank you very much, brother Tang Ze."

After entering the elevator, Officer Memu touched the sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tangze Criminal, aren't you going down?" Takagi on the side watched the elevator door close, but Tangze still stayed in the elevator, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay. I came here for nothing. I just wanted to visit you after not seeing you for a long time."

Hearing Officer Megure's words, Tang Ze smiled and asked proactively: "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, is there any case that happened?"

"Yes, we just received a report that a murder occurred in Okuho Town."

Officer Memu sighed: "We are planning to dispatch the police now."

Tang Ze sighed inwardly when he heard this. After all, he came here just to see if there were any signs of a case, but he didn't expect that the case had already happened.

While internally complaining about how anxious the "God of Death" was, Tangze followed suit as usual and said, "Then I'll go and have a look too."

"It would be great if my brother Tang Ze is willing to come."

Hearing Karasawa's words, Officer Megure smiled and said, "With you here, we should be able to solve the case quickly."

"It's too exaggerated. For more details, we have to go to the scene to understand the situation."

Tangze shook his head modestly, and at this time the elevator arrived at the parking lot on the first floor.

The three of them didn't hesitate. After getting into the police car, they turned on the siren and drove towards Okuho Town.

After speeding all the way to the crime scene, the car soon stopped in front of a traditional house.

The house was very large. After Takagi parked the car, the three of them came to the yard and saw two men in black suits approaching.

They have strong bodies, and you can see traces of training on their hands. They look like bodyguards.

"Where is the crime scene?"

When Officer Megure saw the two people coming towards him, he immediately asked.

"The employer thought the main building was unsafe, so he finally left the house." One of the bodyguards explained, and then led everyone to another smaller building next to the main building.

Of course, although this is not the main room, its size is almost the same as an ordinary room, which shows the wealth of the owner of the house.

According to the bodyguard's introduction, the deceased lived here because he felt that the main house was too big and had too many places to get in and out, so he chose a separate house with a smaller space and better security as his living place.

After living here, the other party basically stayed in this room all day long and rarely went out.

While listening to the bodyguard's words, everyone quickly entered the bathroom of the room, and then saw the deceased in the room.

He was an old man who was as handsome as Dr. A Li, but looked slightly older than him.

He is basically bald, and the few hairs and eyebrows left on his sides have turned gray.

At this moment, he was leaning against the wall. There was a hideous wound just above his right forehead. Blood spread from the wound to his eyes and downwards, making him look like he was dead.

After seeing the body, Aso Minoru, who rushed to the scene with Karasawa and others, stepped forward and began to examine the body, while Officer Megure began to learn about the situation of the deceased from the two bodyguards in suits.

The victim's name is Kunihisa Hiyama. He is 61 years old and is the president of a real estate company, a high-risk position.

As for the circumstances of death, it was also very simple. After checking the injuries, Aso quickly determined that Hiyama Kunisu died as a result of being beaten on the head with a blunt instrument.

"Looking at the situation, it seems that the deceased was attacked in this room away from the house, and then ran into the changing room of the bathroom."

After looking at the surrounding environment, Officer Megure made a judgment.

"In addition, the deceased should have planned a counterattack." Tang Ze looked at the strange-looking yellow scissors held in the deceased's right hand: "But unfortunately, it seems to have no effect."

"Then again, this simplicity is really strange." Officer Megure couldn't help but said while focusing on the scissors.

The reason why Officer Megure said this was because there was a red decoration at the junction of the yellow-handled scissors, which looked quite distinctive.

Generally speaking, there will be no such extraneous things on scissors.

"It's really strange."

Tangze nodded and agreed: "But this is also a good thing for us, because the more distinctive it is, the more detailed we can investigate the scissors. In any case, this scissor was also the last thing the deceased held during his lifetime. Something needs to be investigated in detail.”

"Well, that makes sense." Officer Megure nodded, then looked at Takagi and said, "Leave it to you, find out the situation about the scissors as soon as possible."

"understand!"

Takagi nodded after hearing this, took a photo with his mobile phone, and then began to investigate the origin of the scissors.

However, it seemed that this alien in the scissors world was quite conspicuous. It didn't take long for Takagi to come over with a strange look on his face: "Police Department, the situation of the scissors has been investigated."

"So fast?" Officer Memu looked surprised when he heard this: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"The crab decoration on the scissors makes a "clicking" sound, but nothing else is special."

Takagi said with a smile: "And the owner who invented this scissor is also an acquaintance of all of us. He is Dr. Ali."

"It was actually invented by Dr. Agasa!?" Officer Megure said in astonishment as he looked at the scissors in the deceased's hand.

"Such a boring invention is indeed very Dr. Ari's style." Tang Ze couldn't help but chimed in.

"Since we are acquaintances, it will be easy to handle."

Officer Megure quickly recovered from his surprise: "Contact Dr. Ali and ask him to make a trip."

Looking at Takagi who was on the phone, Karasawa finally understood how Conan got involved in this case.

Sure enough, after waiting, Dr. Ali drove Conan to the crime scene.

But what was different from what was expected was that there was one more person here this time.

Chongyanang.

After seeing the other party also get out of the car, while Akai Shuichi was not looking this way, Karasawa looked at Conan with a strange expression, silently asking the other party why Akai Shuichi also came to this murder scene.

Conan on the side winked at Tang Ze, and then took out his mobile phone. Upon seeing this, Tang Ze calmly withdrew his gaze.

Not long after, Tang Ze received a text message. Tang Ze opened it and read it before finally understanding the whole story.

It turns out that this case is somewhat similar to the death of Akai Shuichi's younger brother, Haneda Koji.

17 years ago, Haneda Koji was a well-known four-time shogi champion.

With this title, he went to Merica and participated in the chess competition that he usually played as a hobby.

However, the night before the game, Koji Haneda was attacked by an unknown person in his hotel room and died.

At that time, his room was turned into a mess, and before being killed, Haneda Koji seemed to have shown signs of resistance, but the direct cause of death was unknown.

On the same day, in another room of the same hotel, a beautiful but rich man, Amanda Hughes, died.

The old woman's cause of death is also a mystery.

The only known connection between the two is that Amanda Hughes is a loyal fan of Koji Haneda, and the two have met and communicated with each other.

After the day of the incident, Amanda Hughes's personal bodyguard disappeared. Therefore, the local police listed the bodyguard named "Asaka" as an important suspect in the case and began to investigate his whereabouts.

But 17 years have passed and her existence has not yet been found.

Not only that, even her true identity is full of mysteries. Neither Amanda’s family nor related personnel know why Amanda hired her as a bodyguard.

And because the name of Haneda Koji was on the list of people who were force-fed APTX4869, after Haibara told Conan the news, he has been investigating this person.

Because the bodyguard Asaka mysteriously disappeared and Haneda Koji was fed APTX4869, Conan suspected that the other was a member of the organization, so he became interested in the case.

The reason why they came here with Dr. Agasa was because they heard that today's case was similar to the case of Haneda Koji that year. The deceased had a pair of scissors in his hand, so they followed him to find out.

As for why Akai Shuichi followed, Karasawa already knew the reason after reading the text message.

After all, his brother who died back then died holding scissors, and a similar case appeared today. Even if there was little hope of a connection, he had to go find out.

After reading the text message, Karasawa put away his phone and met up with Officer Megure and the others, and then walked towards the bathroom.

When Dr. Ali came to the door and was about to enter, Tangze grabbed him and said, "Be careful, there are glass shards on the ground. You may get hurt if you run in rashly."

On the bathroom floor, there was a broken neck, and the broken glass had patterns and broken words on it.

And this fragment pattern is obviously the same style as the cup with the toothbrush on the sink.

"We should be able to think of this cup as the deceased throwing it towards the prisoners who were chasing him into this place in order to resist. What do you think?"

Okiya looked at Officer Megure and suggested: "After that, the victim took the scissors used to trim his beard and prepared to face the prisoner head-on."

"That's about it." Officer Megure nodded after hearing this.

"But if that's the case, don't you think it's strange?" Okiya asked, stroking his chin as he looked at the scene in the room.

"What's so strange?" Officer Megure asked puzzledly.

"mop."

Tangze on the side pointed to the mop behind the body and said: "You want to say that the mop was clearly placed behind the victim, but the other party did not pick up this better defensive weapon.

It is obvious that a mop with a longer handle is more effective against murderers armed with blunt instruments, but he deliberately took scissors. "

"It's really strange to say that." Officer Megure seemed to have come to his senses when he said this. He looked at Okinawa and asked in surprise: "By the way, who are you?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet." Okiya said, "I am Okiya who is currently serving as the assistant to Dr. Agasa."

"Mr. Okiya?" Officer Megure nodded suddenly.

"I'm here today to explain that pair of scissors." Okiya said with his eyes open.

"By the way, I heard that these scissors seem to make a sound when they are closed."

Lifting up the scissors, Officer Megure quickly asked, "Does this scissor have a recording function?"

"Sorry, there is no such convenient function." Okiya shook his head and said.

"I'm so sorry." Dr. A Li on the side also scratched his head and said with a smile.
