Conan: Above force, everything is truth!

At present, Nanako Motogami's boyfriend, "Mizutani Hirosuke", is the most suspected.

This serial murder case is likely to be committed by him in order to avenge his girlfriend.

Even if it is not a case committed by him, this series of cases must be related to him.

What is even more suspicious is that after the police found his apartment, they learned from his neighbors that Mizutani Hirosuke had not returned to the apartment for some time.

So far, the police have regarded him as the "number one suspect" and have even sent his information and portrait to police stations in various places.

However, as of now, the police have not made any progress.

"Tatsuno, where do you think the criminal's next target will be?" Officer Sato asked after looking at the map on the whiteboard.

Tatsuno looked at Officer Sato: "Since the criminal specifically chose the pattern of the Big Dipper, the next location is easy to guess-the North Star."

After listening to Tatsuno's guess, Officer Shiratori stood up and walked to the front of the conference room, picked up a pen and drew the Big Dipper and its extension on the map displayed on the whiteboard.

The North Star is on the five-fold extension line connecting "Ursa Major Alpha and Ursa Major Beta" of the Big Dipper.

Since he was not sure where the end of this line would be, Officer Shiratori simply drew a long straight line.

After seeing the point where the straight line passed, Maori Kogoro on the side suddenly opened his eyes wide and stepped forward to grab the pen from Officer Shiratori.

The next second, Maori Kogoro drew a circle on "Tokyo" where the straight line passed.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure and the other police officers present showed a thoughtful expression.

"Absolutely right! This is the next crime scene!" Maori Kogoro turned around and looked at the people in the conference room, patting his chest and said.

Just as Officer Yamamura was about to say something, Inspector Hagino Ayami of Saitama Prefecture glanced at the computer screen and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's the same result as what I calculated on the computer."

"It seems that this criminal is still a rigid person. I put the constellations on the map on the computer and found that the position of the North Star is almost Tokyo."

When Maori Kogoro heard this, he immediately put his hands on his waist proudly, with a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.

If this was not the meeting room of the Metropolitan Police Department, he would have laughed out loud.

Inspector Megure glanced at Inspector Hagino Ayami and frowned, saying, "Is there a way to narrow the range a little bit?"

"I'll try." Hagino Ayami nodded and turned his eyes back to the laptop screen again.

Seeing that the discussion had come to a conclusion, Manager Matsumoto stood up immediately: "Okay! Before Officer Hagino narrows down the scope, Megure will notify all police stations in Tokyo and issue an urgent wanted order for Hirosuke Mizutani! Others continue to follow up on the investigation and find ways to get more useful information!"

——"Yes!"

After the meeting, Maori Kogoro decided to stay in the Metropolitan Police Department and continue to follow up on the case.

Tatsuno and Xiaolan planned to go to a nearby convenience store to buy some things while it was still early, and then go home directly.

Just when Tatsuno was shopping at the convenience store, he suddenly received a call from Conan.

Tatsuno glanced at the current time and joked: "Kudo, shouldn't you be in class at this time?"

"It's not the time to talk about this! Takeda, someone sneaked into Teitan Elementary School last night, came to the class and stole my sea...work! I suspect that the organization did it to collect my fingerprints!" Conan's tone was obviously mixed with a bit of anxiety.

Hearing this, Ryuno remembered what happened this morning and said calmly: "Don't doubt it. In addition to what you said, someone also sneaked into the football club of Teitan High School last night and stole your football."

Conan on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds: "It seems to be correct... There are my fingerprints on these two items. That person should have guessed my identity, so he collected my fingerprints and wanted to confirm my true identity..."

"Yes, this possibility is very high. And this was not done by Vermouth, because she has already determined your identity."

"Takeda, let's not talk about this for now. How is the case going? I heard from Uncle Maori this morning that there seems to be some new progress in the case."

"Well, the seventh victim appeared. The connection between these victims has also been discovered..."

"..."

After putting away the phone, Ryuno frowned. He always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important.

...

A few hours later

The last class of Teitan Elementary School ended.

In the puzzled eyes of Mitsuhiko and the other two, Conan rushed out of the classroom in an instant.

Originally, they had made an appointment with Conan to go to the doctor's house after school.

Seeing Conan running away by himself, Mitsuhiko frowned and said, "What's wrong with Conan recently? Why does he seem weird?""Yeah, he has been acting weird since he found out that the dolphin's dorsal fin was missing this morning... Did something happen?" Ayumi showed a worried look.

Genta touched his belly and said expectantly, "Don't worry about him, let's go to Dr. Agasa's house quickly! He said last time that he would prepare chocolate pudding for us today!"

Hearing this, the three nodded, and took the bus to Dr. Agasa's house with their schoolbags on their backs.

After getting on the bus, the three seemed to have forgotten about Conan, and were excitedly discussing what games they would play after eating pudding.

Just then, two rhinoceros beetles on the ground caught Mitsuhiko's attention.

"Look! There are actually two rhinoceros beetles on the bus!!"

It was not until Mitsuhiko reached out and picked up the two rhinoceros beetles that the three found that the backs of the two rhinoceros beetles were actually taped with "V"-shaped tape.

"Why are there stickers from the convenience store again? Who on earth is doing such an excessive thing!" Mitsuhiko immediately reprimanded.

"Yeah! These rhinoceros beetles are so pitiful..."

Not long after, at the doctor's home.

After seeing the stickers on the back of the two rhinoceros beetles, Dr. Agasa also frowned.

Judging from the shape and type of stickers, this was obviously done by the same criminal.

After carefully removing the stickers on the back of the rhinoceros beetles, Dr. Agasa noticed that Mitsuhiko and the other two were in a low mood, and immediately put on a smile and prepared to change the subject.

"By the way, this may be a message left by someone."

"Message?" Mitsuhiko and the other two asked in confusion.

"That's right! Guess what message he wants to convey?" Dr. Agasa put the two rhinoceros beetles into the insect box and chuckled.

Seeing that Dr. Agasa was about to start telling his long-lost joke riddle, Mitsuhiko and the other two sighed helplessly and asked, "Why?"

Dr. Agasa looked up and explained, "Haha, of course it's HELP! Because the English word for rhinoceros beetle is BEETLE, which is close to the word BEAT."

"The homophony of this word is the reason why the famous "Beatles" was named. And 'V' represents the Arabic numeral 5, so the name of the band's fifth album is HELP!"
