Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 596 The Chou Silang Incident

At this moment, there is a crossroads in front of everyone.

The passing vehicles move in an orderly manner under the command of traffic lights.

Officer Sato came to a pillar of the highway fence, lowered his head slightly, and looked extremely complicated.

She was holding a small bottle in her hand at the moment, with a bouquet of pale yellow chrysanthemums stuck on the bottle.

Officer Sato placed the bouquet on the ground with great solemnity, slowly closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and prayed silently.

The three little ones looked at this scene curiously, and Genta asked in confusion: "What is Officer Sato doing?"

Akira Hanomiya looked at Officer Sato who was praying with his eyes closed, and said softly: "Since it is the opposite day from his birthday, I am afraid that Officer Sato is paying homage to someone who has passed away, right?"

Upon hearing this, Officer Shiratori touched his chin and thought for two seconds, then suddenly his eyes widened: "I know! Today happens to be the memorial day of Officer Sato's father, Officer Masayoshi Sato!"

"I remember he died in the line of duty here eighteen years ago."

"Is that so?" Officer Takagi confirmed.

Officer Shiratori nodded: "Yes, eighteen years ago today, he fell at this intersection while chasing a robber and murderer."

"Crossroads?" Officer Takagi couldn't help but look around.

Officer Shiratori's tone unknowingly became heavier: "Yes, he was chasing the criminal to this intersection, but was hit by a truck. It happened to be raining heavily at the time, and the ambulance didn't arrive for a long time."

"So, under the watchful eyes of Officer Sato's family, he breathed his last in the ambulance and passed away to heaven..."

Officer Shiratiao closed his eyes slightly, showing a look of reminiscence: "I remember that the case seemed to be called..."

"Zhou Silang." Conan and Yu Gongming said this name almost at the same time.

"That's right, Chou Si Lang, that's Chou Si Lang!" Officer Shiratiao suddenly said.

Conan pushed up his glasses and continued: "The detective who was hit by the truck kept repeating a mysterious name to the murderer when he was dying. Therefore, this case was named the Chou Silang Incident."

Akira Hanomiya took over: "I remember that the police launched a large-scale search at that time, but because Detective Sato who had the key elements of the case passed away, the investigation was in trouble."

"And the prosecution period for this case passed three years ago."

"Oh! I remembered, I have seen this case on TV several times." Officer Takagi also had an impression:

"I remember it was a planned robbery, and the only clue was about ten seconds of surveillance footage captured by the bank's security camera."

"The method by which the police officer who died in the line of duty identified the suspect has become a mystery that will never be solved after his death."

"However, I didn't expect that the police officer turned out to be Officer Sato's father..."

"It's not your fault..." Officer Sato turned his back to everyone, and his voice came faintly:

"Even if that case still remains in people's memory, except for people related to the police, I am afraid that few people will remember the name of the police officer who died in the line of duty."

"Officer Sato..." Both Takagi and Shiratori looked at Officer Sato worriedly.

Officer Sato turned around and walked towards the crowd, seemingly comforting, but also laughing self-deprecatingly: "Besides, we police officers don't work so hard just to let others remember our names!"

Everyone was silent.

Yuantai suddenly scratched his chin and said doubtfully: "That's not right. The truck driver should have seen the murderer's face at that time, right?"

Officer Sato bent down and smiled at him: "Originally, that was true, but the murderer was wearing a long raincoat at the time, and the driver didn't even know whether he was a boy or a girl, let alone what he looked like."

"In the bank surveillance, the robber was wearing a hat, mask, sunglasses, jacket, and other disguises. The police had no way to identify the suspect."

"But, don't you already know that the prisoner's name is Chou Silang?" Mitsuhiko asked.

Officer Sato shook his head slightly: "However, all the people with this name who may have committed the robbery have been screened and ruled out as suspects."

Officer Shiratori sighed: "So, this case has become an unsolved case. The three clues of the picture on the video recorder, the name Chou Silang, and the raincoat and jacket are really too weak."

"No, it's Shijo." Officer Sato said calmly.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Officer Sato at the same time.

Officer Sato said: "This fourth clue is the three suspicious words recorded in katakana in my father's police manual - [KAN O]"

"[KAN O]?" Officer Shiratori frowned and thought for a while, then said doubtfully: "This is the first time I heard it."

Officer Sato said: "The police have not disclosed this clue to the public. Perhaps in the eyes of the police, this clue is the key to solving the case."

"So after the incident, the police asked my mother and I many times whether my father had ever mentioned these words to us."

"What's the result?" Officer Takagi asked.

"As a result..." Officer Sato spread his hands helplessly: "Neither my mother nor I have heard my father mention these words, and we don't understand their meaning."

"I often stared at these words when I was a child, so I was particularly impressed."

She raised her head slightly, showing a hint of reminiscence: "At that time, I thought, if anyone can solve this mystery and catch Chou Silang to avenge my father, no matter what his request, I will agree to him."

"Any request..." Officer Shiratori's expression changed subtly.

"Is everything okay?" Officer Takagi swallowed.

When Hanemiya Akira looked at their expressions, he could guess with his toes that they must be thinking about something indescribable.

"Then if I guess it, can you treat me to a hundred eel rice?" Genta asked excitedly.

"Of course!" Officer Sato smiled.

"My word, let me experience the feeling of a tropical paradise castle!" Ayumi said with bright eyes.

"As for me, just give me a ticket to the International Space Station." Mitsuhiko smiled.

Xiao Ai crossed her arms and said calmly: "Then I just want Prada's latest bag."

Conan rested his head and smiled: "Then can I have tickets for this World Cup?"

"Uh... um! No problem!" Officer Sato's smile became a little forced.

She couldn't help but curse in her heart, are all children today so smart?

She raised her head slightly and was suddenly startled: "Huh? Takagi, Shiratori, you two are..."

At this moment, Officer Takagi and Officer Shiratori were seen frowning, as if they were thinking about something seriously.

Ayumi raised her head slightly and suddenly pointed in a certain direction and said, "Hey! Someone is coming here with flowers again!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction pointed by Ayumi.
