I'm a police officer in the world of Conan

When he came out of the pachinko shop, Koichi Edogawa narrowed down the suspects again.

But there were a few points that he couldn't figure out at all, first of all, if the purpose of the prisoner was only for money, then the note left by him kidnapping the daughter of the councillor should be about the extortion of money, not the bill of the councillor.

I am afraid that there is an invisible hand behind the prisoner that is pushing all this to happen!

Secondly, the prisoner has not contacted Mr. Nishinuma, a member of parliament, so it stands to reason that the kidnapper will usually make another request within 24 hours, but the prisoner has not contacted Mr. Nishinuma, so what is the prisoner doing at this time.

Hiroichi Edogawa felt that this case might not be as simple as it seemed.

"The Edogawa Police Department made up for it, and the Twilight Police Department asked us to go back to the police station, and the prisoner made a new request. "Chiba received a call from the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Let's go, let's go back. "

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, search the conference hall of the first section.

"Police, do the prisoners have made new requests?" said Hiroichi Edogawa trotted all the way.

"Well, Brother Edogawa, we are under a lot of pressure at the moment, and the prisoner is asking for twenty million dollars and a car in two hours, otherwise he will tear up the ticket. Officer Twilight's face was solemn.

After two hours, the prisoner began to feel anxious, since the ultimate goal of the prisoner was money, then why did he leave that note, is it not good to leave a note about money in the first place?

I'm afraid, that note is another purpose.

"Police, the ingredients of the biscuit have been tested, and they are Tokyo Sky Tree chocolate sandwich biscuits (Note 1)" Miwako Sato came to the conference hall with a list of ingredients.

"We checked the convenience stores around Nishinuma-sen's house that sold these cookies, and found a man named Arima Moriyama who regularly buys these cookies, and, based on the cameras at the scene, we preliminarily concluded that it was the same person who appeared at Nishinuma-sen's house. Takagi also said about the phenomenon he investigated.

"At the police department, Officer Chiba and I found out that Arima Moriyama loves to gamble, especially small steel balls, and is in debt because of this, and Arima Moriyama is a homeless man, wandering in the park a hundred meters away from the councilor's house, and has received charity from the councilor, and is familiar with the daily activities of the councilor's family.

Edogawa Hiroichi continued: "In terms of motive, the kidnapper's main purpose was to make money, but the prisoner left a note asking the councillor to stop pushing the bill, and the councilor's family was looted, and the subsequent request was also a demand for money, which shows that the prisoner didn't care about the content of his note at all, all he wanted was money."

On the way back, we learned from our colleagues in the Organized Crime and Violence Division that this support group was the focus of their observation, suspected of possessing guns, and that it also opened an underground casino, and even had (Note 2) deals with the children of some high-ranking officials.

"The public housing project promoted by the councillors, which is an abandoned building and the base camp of the mutual aid group, so they strongly rejected the bill, coerced Moriyami with debts to kidnap the daughter of the Nishinuma councilor, and left a note asking the councillors to stop pushing the bill.

"Therefore, everyone, Arima Moriyama is the most suspicious in terms of motive and the possibility of kidnapping, so I apply to search the wandering place of Arima Moriyama, and at the same time participate in the crackdown on the mutual aid group, and wipe out this violent group!"

"Okay, Brother Edogawa and Sato are in charge of searching Moriyama Arima's residence, Brother Takagi and Brother Shiratori are in charge of finding the location of Arima Moriyama, and Brother Sakaki and Brother Chiba are in charge of connecting with the Organized Crime and Violence Section. "

In an hour, I'm going to find Arimama Moriyama!" Officer Twilight slammed on the table.

"Yes!"

Moriyama's ultimatum was now two hours away.

Driving to the park, Koichi Edogawa and Miwako Sato saw a lot of tents gathered here, all of which were inhabited by homeless people.

Maybe there are people like Moriyama Arima, who are deeply addicted to gambling and don't want to make progress, and finally embark on the road of crime.

But Edogawa Hiroichi also warned himself that all he saw was just stereotypes, and that all of it was just survivorship bias (Note 3).

We should treat any matter dialectically, not with colored glasses.

Back to the point, Edogawa Hongichi and Miwako Sato entered Moriyama Arima's tent, the tent is not big and no one exists, but the sparrows are small, they are well equipped, and their daily necessities are also complete, and there is a set of plumber's clothes on the ground, so it seems that this is how he entered the house of the councilor.

Edogawa Hiroichi thought silently in his heart.

"Sato, I already know how Moriyama got into the councilor's house and kidnapped the councilor's daughter. Edogawa Hiroichi said, pointing to the clothes on the ground.

"Well, it seems that Moriyama entered the councilor's house disguised as a plumber, and then knocked out the councilor's wife and snatched the cash and the councilor's daughter. Sato is worthy of being a criminal police officer for many years, and he quickly understood where the case was.

Now, it's up to Takagi.

There is now an hour and a half left before Moriyama's deadline.

"According to the surveillance, Moriyama went to an abandoned school, not to the territory of the mutual aid group, we have reason to suspect that the mutual aid group did not completely control Moriyama, if Moriyama was completely controlled, then the daughter of the councillor would definitely fall into the hands of the mutual aid group, and the note left by Moriyama would not be money but a bill. "

Takagi Wataru is worthy of being a criminal police officer for many years, and he quickly figured it out.

"Inform Officer Twilight and S.I.T. (Note 4) that we have discovered Moriyama's hideout, so please quickly conduct an external investigation of the abandoned school. "Takagi has made a discovery, too.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Organized Crime and Violence Section.

"The main members of the support group are young people who have dropped out of school, and they are more like mobs than gangsters, basically all equipped with vehicles and extremely mobile power, and for them, the source of their guns and [) has not yet been found. "

The police department rummaged through the information of the mutual aid group and told Sakaki, Edogawa's junior follower, that this mutual aid group was a hard stubble.

"We've been monitoring the support group lately, and they're going to have a deal tomorrow with some underage addicts at the Yagami Internet Café in Rice Flower Town, and it's expected that twenty people will be there, all armed with weapons, including guns.

"To put it simply, this support group is a hard stubble. "

It's an hour before Moriyama's deadline.
