Conan: Another Famous Detective

"Where did you find Hiraoka?" Akira Yunomiya asked.

"We found Hiraoka in an abandoned building. When we found him, he was lying at the corner of the stairs."

"According to the autopsy results, he died of intracranial hemorrhage due to a strong impact on his head. Some blood stains were found on the wall of the stairwell. According to the test, the blood stains belonged to Hiraoka himself."

"Based on the circumstances at the scene, it seems that Hiraoka fell from the stairs and hit his head on the wall of the stairwell, eventually leading to death."

Officer Megure introduced the incident in detail.

"Has the possibility of his killing been ruled out?" Yu Gongming asked.

"At present, there are no traces of the second person at the scene. We initially speculate that he slipped and fell down the stairs." Officer Megure said.

"Hmph! There are very few self-produced and self-sold cases in the world of Conan. Now that the murderer on the surface is dead, it means that there must be a mastermind behind this!" Hanemiya Akira thought to himself.

"Now that Hiraoka is dead, what will Officer Megure do next?" Akira Hanomiya asked.

"We plan to go to President Ishimoto and ask him about Hiraoka to see if he has been intimidated by Hiraoka before." Officer Megure said.

"So has there been any results for the man named [Kenichi] I mentioned before?" Akira Hanamiya asked again.

"Not yet. This person seems to have no criminal record. It will take some time to investigate him." Officer Megure said.

"Then let me go together to meet President Ishimoto. Which hospital does President Ishimoto live in?" Akira Hanomiya requested.

"Well, in fact, President Ishimoto has left the hospital to handle club affairs and is on his way back to the company. We also made an appointment with him to meet in his office. The address of the club is..." Officer Megure reported The address of Ishimoto Co., Ltd. is displayed.

"Okay! I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Gongming simply tidied up and then called Meng Yu to inform Meng Yu of the latest situation.

…………

Walking into the company building of Ishimoto Co., Ltd., Hanemiya Akira and Meng Yu immediately saw Officer Megure negotiating with the staff at the front desk, and Conan hiding behind a pillar and peeping furtively.

After the two looked at each other, they walked towards Officer Megure and others.

Conan, who was observing silently, suddenly saw the figures of Yu Gongming and Meng Yu, and was slightly startled.

Then, he saw Yu Gongming glance this way and gestured that he could come with him.

When Conan saw his two most reliable partners arriving, he immediately stopped sneaking behind the pillars to peek, and walked out openly and came to the two of them.

"Officer Megure, we are here!" Akira Hanamiya was the first to speak out.

Officer Megure turned around and smiled when he saw the three of them: "It's Brother Yumiya and Mengyu... eh? Why did Conan come with us?"

Officer Megure glanced at Conan suspiciously.

"Sister Xiaolan asked me to deliver a change of clothes to my uncle who protects President Ishimoto. I happened to meet Brother Hanomiya on the way, so we came together!" Conan said, raising a bag of clothes in his hand.

Officer Memu nodded in understanding and didn't pay much attention.

Soon, Officer Megure finished negotiating with the front desk, and the few people walked towards the elevator.

Arriving at the elevator door, the elevator just reached the first floor. The elevator door opened, and a thin middle-aged man walked out of the elevator.

"Huh? Well, you're not Representative Takada's..." Officer Megure said in surprise.

The person who stepped out of the elevator turned out to be Representative Takada's secretary, Tsuneaki Arakura.

Arikura Tsuneaki was stunned for a moment, glanced at Officer Megure and others, and then suddenly said: "You are the police officer responsible for investigating the death case of the congressman, right? What can I do?"

"Ah! It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised to see you appearing in President Ishimoto's company!" Officer Megure waved his hand and smiled.

The other party is the secretary of Representative Takada, and his status in the political world is quite good. Officer Megure would never dare to neglect him.

"Oh! That's right. After all, Representative Takada was accidentally killed because of President Ishimoto. I always want to know something about the situation with President Ishimoto so that I can explain it to the Congressman's support club." Tsuneaki Arakura said calmly.

"So that's it. I won't bother you anymore. We happen to have something we want to know from President Ishimoto." Officer Megure said with a smile.

After Tsuneaki Shinkura nodded slightly, he passed several people and left.

Seeing this, several people also entered the elevator.

"Officer Megure, you seem to be a little reserved when facing the secret secretary?" Yu Gongming asked doubtfully.

"Well, although he is just the secretary of Representative Takada, he is also recognized by the outside world as the successor of Representative Takada."

"Now that Representative Takada has passed away, if nothing happens, he will be able to take over Representative Takada's position soon. Naturally, I have to be careful with a person like this." Officer Megure explained.

Yu Gongming nodded slightly, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

Soon, several people came to Ishimoto Seiji's office.

Seiji Ishimoto is sitting on the office chair, his secretary Sachiko Tanaka is standing aside, and there is a figure that everyone is familiar with sitting on the sofa in boredom.

"Officer Megure, you are here!" Mouri Kogoro greeted Officer Megure.

Officer Megure nodded to Mouri Kogoro, then looked at Ishimoto Seiji:

"President Ishimoto, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but we have something we need to confirm with you."

"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I still have a lot of work to do." Ishimoto Seiji still implemented his indifferent attitude towards the police.

Officer Megure was already used to this. He just took out a photo from his arms and put it on the desk in front of Seiji Ishimoto with a serious expression.

"President Ishimoto, do you recognize Shiro Hiraoka in the photo?" Officer Megure stared at Seiji Ishimoto and asked in a deep voice.

The moment Seiji Ishimoto saw the photo, his expression changed momentarily.

The next moment, his expression returned to normal, he shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know the person in the photo at all, and I don't know who Hiraoka Shiro you are talking about."

Although Ishimoto Seiji had tried his best to control his expression, he was facing both experienced police officers and observant detectives, and his skills were not enough in front of these people.

Officer Megure noticed Ishimoto Seiji's expression and felt confident. His expression remained serious and he said calmly:

"Mr. Ishimoto, you have to think clearly. According to our investigation, this Hiraoka is probably the murderer of last night's shooting. Your life is in danger at any time now. Are you sure you still want to hide it from us?"

Hearing this, Seiji Ishimoto's expression changed for a while, and then he sighed softly: "Okay, I'll tell you."

"President..." Sachiko Tanaka's expression changed slightly and she hesitated to speak.

"Forget it, this is what Secretary Arakura meant. I have to answer for Councilor Takada's death." Ishimoto Seiji said in a dejected tone.

"In that case, Mr. Ishimoto, please tell me." Officer Megure looked at Ishimoto Seiji, waiting for his next words.
