Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 375 Using the Police as Guns

Yu Gongming took out his mobile phone and glanced at the phone number.

"Officer Megure...is there anything new?" Yu Gongming murmured in his heart. After saying hello to a few people, he stood up and walked out the door.

After arriving in a secluded corner, Yu Gongming answered the phone.

"Hey! Officer."

"Brother Hanomiya, a murder occurred in Room 602 of Apartment xx in Shinjuku." Officer Megure's voice came.

Yu Gongming was slightly startled: "Why did you call me when there was a murder? Is the case very difficult and you need my help?"

"No, the main reason is that this case is probably related to the man in black robe who sneaked into your house." Officer Megure said in a serious tone.

Yu Gongming's eyes narrowed: "Officer, please tell me specifically, what happened?"

Officer Megure said, "That's it. A total of three corpses, two men and one woman, were found in Room 602."

"One of the men and one woman was shot through the throat and killed with one shot. The other man was shot once in the right wrist and forehead. The fatal wound was in the forehead."

"At the scene, we found two pistols and a knife. According to our inspection, the pistol that killed them did not belong to any of the guns at the scene."

"A total of three bullets were fired from one of the handguns at the scene."

"And there are three clues that are particularly important."

Officer Megure paused for a moment, giving Hanamiya Akira time to digest the information, and then continued: "The first clue is that on the dagger, we found the emblem belonging to Black Sakura."

"The second clue is that there is a black robe on the ground next to the deceased who was shot in the forehead. Three bullet holes were found on the black robe. Based on comparison, it was confirmed that it was caused by the pistol at the scene."

"The third clue is that the deceased woman used a pool of blood to leave a death message in a coffee shop called [Nightingale]."

"Based on previous clues, we have reason to suspect that the three people in the house are killers affiliated with Black Sakura, and the person who killed them was the man in black robe who sneaked into your house!"

As Hanemiya Akira listened to Officer Megure's narrative, his expression became more solemn.

He thought for a while and then asked: "Are you sure that the death message was left by the deceased? He was shot in the throat and could still leave a message containing two reminders of a nightingale and a coffee shop?"

Officer Memu was stunned: "This... we didn't take it into consideration. At that time, I saw blood on the right index finger of the female corpse, and there were words in the pool of blood next to the finger. I subconsciously thought that this was the death left by the deceased. information."

"Brother Yumiya, it's really strange to hear you say that."

Yu Gongming asked again: "From which direction did the bullet enter the throat? What was the posture of the deceased at that time?"

"The bullet penetrated the deceased's throat from the front. The deceased was lying prone facing the ground... Wait, brother Hanomiya, what do you mean..." Officer Megure's tone changed slightly.

"Yes, the bullet hit the throat from the front. The impact should be backwards. At worst, the deceased should be lying on his side."

"After being shot in the throat, it is simply impossible for the deceased to turn over and leave such detailed death information at the same time."

"So, the information about [Nightingale Cafe] was not left by the deceased, but by someone after her death!"

"Murderer!" Officer Megure said immediately.

"This possibility is undoubtedly the greatest." Yu Gongming confirmed Officer Megure's guess.

"If it was left by the murderer, then what did the murderer want to do by leaving this information to us?" Officer Megure asked.

Yu Gongming thought for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed: "By the way, the person who was shot in the forehead, are there any burn marks around the wound?"

"Uh, wait a minute, let me ask." Officer Megure said and fell silent for a while.

Then, there was a faint voice of inquiry on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Officer Memu's voice sounded: "According to the examination of the forensic personnel, there are indeed some burn marks around the forehead wound."

"That is to say, the pistol that shot him was quite close to him." Hanemiya Ming said.

"Well, these scorch marks are caused by gunpowder scorch caused by close range shooting. I know this." Officer Megure replied.

"I remember that the deceased was shot once in his right wrist, right?" Akira Hagong asked.

"Yes." Officer Megure confirmed.

"Since the other two people can kill each other with one shot, there is no reason why the third person was just shot in the wrist, coupled with such a close range shooting."

"I suspect that the murderer put a gun against the deceased's forehead to threaten him, and had some communication with the deceased. Perhaps the information about the Nightingale Cafe was revealed by the deceased?"

"It's very possible, but what does that mean?" Officer Megure asked doubtfully.

Yu Gongming replied: "It means that the man in black robe actually does not know how many Black Sakura strongholds, then this series of actions of the man in black robe can be explained."

"Oh? What do you say?" Officer Megure asked eagerly.

Yu Gongming said: "If the murderer is really the man in black robe, then he first used us to destroy one of Black Sakura's strongholds, and then raided another stronghold himself."

"I remember that the recording provided to us by the man in black robe should belong to Feiyan's stronghold. So, since he has mastered the location of this stronghold, why did he not attack this stronghold like he attacked 602, but instead Provide us with clues?"

"Because the audio tape was given to me, and with my close contact with the police, I will definitely choose to call the police."

"When the police get involved, I estimate that even if we don't have the means to find the killers' stronghold, the men in black robes will take the initiative to reveal it to us."

"Because once the police intervene, facing these killers, the movement will definitely not be small, just like what happened this morning."

"With such a fuss, other Black Sakura lurking in Tokyo will definitely notice. Then, they will most likely send people to investigate."

"As long as the man in black robe follows the person who came to investigate, he can find the new stronghold, which is Room 602."

"After finding Room 602, the man in black robe found out other strongholds through interrogation. Then, he notified the police again and disguised this new gathering point as a death message."

"If that's the case, officer, you will definitely go investigate the Nightingale Cafe, right?"

"I will definitely investigate." Officer Megure said.

"If a killer organization's stronghold disguised as a coffee shop is investigated by the police, what will be the reaction?" Akira Hanomiya continued to ask.

"Hmm..." Officer Memu thought for a while and said hesitantly: "There may be direct and fierce resistance, or there may be ways to hold us back, and then take the opportunity to cover up, transfer or destroy the evidence of their crimes."

"Yes, but no matter what it is, the Black Sakura members in that stronghold have to take action, and once they take action, a lot of things will be exposed."

"If someone were to observe in secret in a targeted manner..." Yu Gongming chuckled: "I'm afraid the harvest will be extraordinary!"

Officer Memu was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly realized: "This guy is using our police as a gunman!"

"Correct answer!" Yu Gongming smiled.
