Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

Conan calmly told the whole story.

Kurosawa Rin listened quietly to Conan's narration of these things that he already knew, and finally added an exclamation.

"Is that so... I didn't expect that Officer Sakata would be the murderer."

For a moment, everyone was sighing and sighing. It seemed that no one expected that the seemingly honest and upright Officer Sakata turned out to be the terrible murderer who killed three people in succession.

At this time, Hattori's phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Officer Otaki.

Officer Otaki is a subordinate of Hattori's father, and he has a very good relationship with Hattori. Basically, he can get any information about the police department or cases from Officer Otaki.

Now that Officer Otaki has taken the initiative to call Hattori, it seems that there has been some important progress.

Thinking of this, Hattori quickly picked up the phone and said, "Officer Otaki? Is there any new progress in the case?"

Officer Otaki on the opposite side said something, and Hattori looked stunned, "What? How could this happen..."

"Okay, I understand. Please tell me if you have any new clues."

After hanging up the phone, Hattori had a strange expression.

"Do you remember what I just said, that Numa Yuan had handcuffs on his hands when he was found?"

Everyone nodded.

"The owner of the handcuffs has been found."

Conan was stunned, "Hey, could the owner of those handcuffs be..."

Hattori nodded and took a deep breath, "Yes, those handcuffs belong to Officer Sakata."

"When Kiichiro Numabuchi was found, there was a piece of wood stuck on the other end of the handcuffs holding him. For some reason, Kiichiro Numabuchi must have been caught by Officer Sakata and trapped somewhere with wooden railings.

place."

"In addition, the police also found a saw on Ma Yuan's body, which should be the tool Ma Yuan used to saw wood. The cross section on the wood also confirmed this."

Conan held his chin and frowned slightly.

We don’t know when Numabuchi got out of trouble. If he got out before Officer Sakata was killed, Numabuchi would have great motives and suspicions in the case of Officer Sakata’s murder.

If it was really Numabuchi who killed Sakata, then who was the person who tried to kill Numabuchi and threw him on the sniper point platform?

Conan rubbed his head, feeling a little headache.

"I can't think of a solution even if I stay here. In short, let's go to the hospital and the police station to investigate first."

…

Because Kogoro was still hungover and driving was a bit dangerous, Narumi drove them.

I don’t know when Chengshi also took on the important role of driver like Vodka. However, Chengshi is gentler and more beautiful than Vodka, and not as silly as Vodka.

When it comes to killing people, it’s not like Cheng Shi has never killed someone before, so it shouldn’t be too bad to get some training.

Moreover, in addition to being a driver, Chengzhi also held many jobs that Vodka could not do.

For example, cooking, washing dishes, doing housework, dressing wounds, and even seeing a doctor, prescribing medicine, performing minor surgeries, etc.

My family’s vodka is so much stronger than the gin store’s vodka!!

Kurosawa Rin thought happily that it was really wise to save Narumi back then!

…

Everyone first came to the hospital where Numabuchi Kiichiro was staying.

The hospital is a police hospital and is particularly safe. Kiichiro Numabuchi is in the critical care ICU at this time and is cared for by professional doctors and nurses, making him "extremely comfortable."

Now he has no brain activity, and the brainstem damage caused by the spinal injury in the back of his head has basically declared that he will be a vegetative state from now on and will never wake up again.

Therefore, the police basically have no way to get more useful information from Numabuchi. Now they are willing to rescue him in this way only out of humanitarian considerations.

But Kurosawa Rin also knew that this kind of humanitarian relief would not last long. After all, the hospital was not a charity.

For a wanted criminal patient like Kiichiro Numabuchi, who has no family to pay for medical treatment and basically has no therapeutic significance, the hospital will keep him alive for a week or two at most, and then give up treatment and let him live or die.

This was almost a death notice to Numabuchi Kiichiro, and to a certain extent, it was considered an execution.

…

Apart from the pair of handcuffs, there was basically nothing worthy of investigation left by Kiichiro Numabuchi.

Several people took a look at Kiichiro Numagachi, who was living miserably in the ICU, and rushed to the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department to meet with Officer Otaki without staying in the hospital.

The police station looked very busy. The killing of a police officer yesterday seemed to have caused a great disturbance in society.

The case of Officer Sakata's murder has not yet revealed any clues. At this time, the sudden increase in public opinion pressure has made everyone in the police station extremely busy.

As Hattori Heizo's right-hand man, Officer Otaki was obviously busy all night.

He has the same dark circles under his eyes as Conan and Hattori, and he can't hide the tiredness between his eyebrows.

Compared to a dazed and hungover detective standing aside, this police officer looked obviously much more reliable than a former detective.

"Here we come, Heiji." Officer Otaki saw Hattori and others entering the Metropolitan Police Department. He immediately greeted them and came over with a stack of documents.

"The information you asked me to check is all here. I have other work, so I won't accompany you for now."

"That's a big help, Uncle Otaki."

Hattori took the information, and Officer Otaki left in a hurry.

When I opened the file, I found the investigative data of Police Officer Sakata and Kiichiro Numabuchi. The short life of these two people was recorded in a thick stack.

According to his previous guess, Kurosawa Rin carefully looked through Officer Sakata's information, but he didn't seem to find anything suspicious.

Compared to the years in which Kiichiro Numabuchi killed several people and disappeared inexplicably in his files, Officer Sakata's life was unremarkable.

"But...why did the number of years suddenly decrease?" Conan looked at Kiichiro Numabuchi's file and was a little confused.

Kurosawa Rin leaned over to take a look.

There was a hiatus in Numabuchi Kiichiro's files, and after a few years of hiatus, Numabuchi killed three people in succession.

Kurosawa Rin knows the inside story of the matter.

At that time, Numabuchi Kiichiro had just escaped from Miyano Shiho's laboratory. He thought he was being hunted by the organization and accidentally killed three people in a row.

The fact is that the organization did not pay attention to him as a low-level employee at all, and everything was just his own sentimentality.

"Could he be serving his sentence in prison? You see, Numabuchi Kiichiro happened to kill someone before that."

He casually made an unreliable guess, and was refuted by Conan the next second.

"This is impossible. If you have served time in prison, there will definitely be a record in the police station file. After all, records of criminal punishments such as being sent to jail for murder cannot be deleted for life."
