Chapter 460: Digging Too Shallow

"She was also there?"

Inspector Megure glanced at Shiratori.

The latter understood and immediately went to check the guest list.

"The murder case of Dr. Nino seems to have been reported before. It is said that he was sued by the patient's family a few days before his death because of a surgical error?"

Conan asked, recalling.

"Conan, you remember it very clearly..." Inspector Megure nodded.

Lin Feng patted the dog-headed detective’s head.

This happened a year ago. You are a first-grade student. Don't go too far.

"Dr. Niino did leave a suicide note apologizing for the surgical error."

"That's why Inspector Tomonari thinks the possibility of suicide is higher," said Inspector Megure.

However, his sister, Niino Tamaki, doesn't think so.

She even said it bluntly.

My brother is a very bad doctor who never considers the life or death of his patients.

Committing suicide to apologize for a surgical error is completely impossible.

"Inspector, she's not on the guest list." Officer Shiratori came back with a folder.

"I see."

Inspector Megure continued, "A week before Jinno's death, he was seen arguing with a young man who had dyed his hair purple."

"Purple?"

Lin Feng and Conan both remembered the second generation.

Minister Odagiri's son, Odagiri Toshiya.

The other party also appeared at the celebration today.

"At that time, Inspector Tomonari went to the warehouse with Officers Sato, Narasawa, and Shiba for the sake of caution."

Inspector Megure did not want to talk in depth about the purple-haired young man's intention, but started talking about what happened that year.

That was last summer.

Inspector Tomonari, who was lying in ambush around the warehouse with his three subordinates, suffered a heart attack due to the overheated weather.

He stopped his subordinates who wanted to call an ambulance and ordered them to keep an eye on the warehouse. He walked out of the alley alone, holding his chest, and wanted to call a taxi to go to the hospital.

Finally, he was found by Officer Sato who chased after him to check on the situation. He fell to the side of the road with his hands on his chest.

"In an emergency, the other two were left to guard the warehouse while Sato drove Inspector Tomonari to the hospital."

Inspector Megure said, shaking his head.

The senior who was afraid that the ambulance would alert the suspect still died on the operating table.

"If Officer Sato can't drive himself in time, I'm afraid calling an ambulance won't help."

Lin Feng thought of this driving god-like figure in the Metropolitan Police Department and couldn't help but sigh.

Officer Megure did not refute and continued, "Officers Nara and Shiba, who stayed near the warehouse, finally waited for the young man with purple hair."

"It was only then that they discovered that the other party was Minister Odagiri's son, Odagiri Toshiya."

Inspector Tomonari died of a heart attack during the ambush, and the case of Dr. Nino Yasushi was ruled as suicide, and the investigation was suspended.

"It's very stressful..." Lin Feng said after looking at Inspector Megure and Shiratori.

In that case, a doctor with no medical ethics died, and there was no solid evidence, so they just let it go.

To date, two police officers who were in charge of the investigation at the time have died one after another.

Even for the second generation, this matter is not so easy to get over.

"Perhaps, the two of them, including Officer Sato, have any questions about the case?" Conan stared at Officer Megure and asked slowly.

"Yes, recently, at the request of Officer Narasawa, Officers Sato and Shiba have resumed investigating the case of Dr. Ninoho from a year ago."

Officer Shiratori nodded and admitted the matter. Now that things had come to this, there was no need to hide anything.

Because the case was reopened for investigation, Narasawa and Ichiro Shibayo died, and that's why a bomb was placed at the wedding celebration venue tonight and a pistol was prepared in an attempt to get rid of Officer Sato.

"That is to say, Ninobo probably did not commit suicide. The murderer from a year ago was afraid that the investigation would lead to him committing this crime."

Conan guessed, looking thoughtful.

"In addition, Inspector Tomonari has an only son." Inspector Megure took out the last photo.

The photo shows a young man in his twenties or thirties.

"Is he also a suspect?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

If there was no suspicion, there probably wouldn't be any photo of this person prepared.

"It happened on the day of the wake."

"He first questioned the three people who were in the same group as his father, then pointed at them with hatred and said he would never forgive them."

Inspector Megure explained.

No matter who it is, they all hope from the bottom of their hearts that this young man has done something wrong.

"This person also went to the banquet tonight..." Conan recognized the person in the photo again.

It would be too strange to say it was a coincidence, right?
There are three photos on the table, including Odagiri Toshiya, Niino Tamaki, and Officer Tomonari's only son Tomonari Makoto.

It just so happened that these three people all appeared at the celebration today.

"Let's sort out our motives first."

Lin Feng pointed at You Chengzhen's photo.

Because his father died unexpectedly during the mission, he took his anger out on the other three team members and wanted revenge.

Next is Nino Tamaki.

Because his brother, who had no medical ethics, was diagnosed as suicide, he felt resentful and wanted to get rid of the police who investigated the case.

Finally, there is the troublemaker, Odagiri Toshiya.

If it was him, there could be only one explanation.

He was the one who killed Ninoho a year ago. In order to cover up his crime, he wanted to kill all three people who were reinvestigating the case.

"Officer Narasawa was holding his left chest before he died. In his pocket was a police manual. Officer Shiba also held a police manual in his hand."

As Inspector Megure said this, he moved the photo of Niino Tamaki slightly outside.

The actions of these two people may very well be suggesting that the murderer is related to the police.

The police believe that the suspect is still among You Chengzhen and Odagiri Toshiya.

"I personally think that the murderer is the person who killed Ninobao a year ago." Lin Feng speculated.

There was no reason for Niino Tamaki to kill the police officer who wanted to reinvestigate the truth behind her brother's death.

The timing of You Chengzhen's revenge is just too coincidental.

Did Odagiri Toshi also kill people to cover up the truth?
Sure enough, this matter is very troublesome.

"In short, Brother Lin Feng, thank you very much this time." Officer Megure nodded and looked at Lin Feng to thank him.

Just before the police conducted a comprehensive search of the hotel, he offered protection to Sato, but his proposal was rejected.

During the power outage, the murderer found a position in advance with a gun, and Officer Sato was in real danger.

After obtaining a lot of inside information, Lin Feng and Conan bid farewell to Inspector Megure and left the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The police are still digging too shallowly."

Back in the car, Lin Feng shook his head and said.

"Shall we go check?"

Conan looked at the repairman.
