My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 39 Closed door

After hearing this, the Megure Police Department thought for a few seconds and called Sato Miwako, "Sato, you and Ida go to Hirota Kenzo's previous company to investigate his situation."

Miwako Sato glanced at Aoki Song and then responded: "Hi, I'll go right away."

After Sato and the others left, Officer Megure looked at Aoki Song and said, "Aoki-kun, tell me what you think, why you want to send someone to the racecourse."

Of course, it’s because I played the trick myself and knew the plot in advance!

This kind of truth must not be told to the Memu Police Department.

Aoki Song organized his words in his mind, and then said: "Police Department, from the words of Hirota Kenzo's neighbor Yamada-san, we can conclude that Hirota Kenzo really wanted to get rich overnight. After the incident, the appearance of the two people who came to look for him was

They also look very similar to the two robbers.

Based on these two points, I guess Hirota Kenzo might have been blinded by money, secretly swallowed the one billion yen, and then hid."

"There is a possibility, but what does this have to do with sending people to the racecourse? You don't think that after he committed a crime and may have embezzled one billion yen, he dared to go to a crowded place like the racecourse, right?"

Police Department Mu asked.

Upon hearing this, Aoki Song said seriously: "Police Department, first of all, outsiders did not know that he was a robber. The robber was fully armed at the time and did not reveal his appearance. No one knew the true face of the other party except themselves.

Even now, we can only say that Hirota Kenzo is deeply suspected, and there is no definite evidence. Secondly, the racecourse is indeed crowded, but the racecourse is also a mixed bag, especially the racecourse also operates horse betting, and there is a gray atmosphere here.

and a lot of black characters.

If Kenzo Hirota didn't want to hide secretly all his life and wanted to get rid of his accomplices, he might go to the racecourse to find someone in this area. If nothing else, he would have to change his identity and name.

And as the saying goes, 'the most dangerous place is the safest place', everyone knows that he likes horse racing, and the place he must go to on weekdays is the racetrack. When ordinary people disappear, they usually go to the places where he often goes to look for him first, but he

The robber has been in trouble with the law, but he won't go to the places he usually goes. Maybe he is just having a mental war.

In addition, he often goes to the racecourse on weekdays and is familiar with all parts of the racecourse. If by chance he meets an accomplice who is looking for him, he can run away quickly because he is familiar with the terrain."

After a pause, Aokisong said: "Police department, I know this is a bit of a gamble, but we don't have any clues now." It's better to treat a dead horse as a live doctor.

The Memu Police Department naturally heard the meaning of Aokisong's words, thought about it and asked: "How sure are you?"

"Fifty percent!" Aoki Song whispered: "The police department, the billion yen stolen from Mitsubishi Bank also need a way to launder it. If Kenzo Hirota is a kidnapper, based on his experience, it will be

What better way to do that than to bet on horse racing?”

Even if you lose, you can still pretend to win.

There are so many people placing bets at the racecourse. Even if someone has suspicions, it is impossible to investigate them one by one, because many people use cash to bet on horse racing, and the money they win is also cash.

Without bank transfer, you don't have to pay as much as you say. As long as you don't overdo it at one time, and occasionally get lucky, all the money can be laundered over time.

As for checking the racecourse's accounts?

Haha, I dare to open a racetrack without any connections behind my back!

It's simply impossible to check.

Therefore, the dupe market has been the best laundering channel in all countries since ancient times. This is the reason.

Megure Police Department thought for a while and said: "In this way, you and Fukui go together. Fukui's observation skills are the best among our three departments. If you find the other party's whereabouts, remember to contact him immediately."

"I understand." Qingmusong responded quickly.

The Megure Police Department called Fukui Criminal over and warned him a few words before letting the two of them leave.

Aokimatsu and Fukui Hiroki drove to the racecourse in Tokyo together, but they were embarrassed because neither of them had been to this place before and didn't know that horse racing was not held every day at the racecourse. As a result, they were rejected.

Racecourses generally hold events in designated months, and they are not held every day, but only one or two days a week, most of the time on Saturdays and Sundays, especially the basic arrangements for important events.

on Sunday.

The ticket fee is 200 yen per person. There are 12 games in total. The doors open on time at 9 o'clock in the morning, the first game will be held around 10 o'clock, and the last game will be held around 16:00-17 o'clock.

After being rejected, Aoki and Song still gained something. They got a brochure introducing the racecourse from the guard, which contained the recent race schedule of Tokyo Racecourse. According to the date above, there will be races on Saturday two days later.

It is arranged that there will also be a race on the following Sunday.

There was no choice but to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department and report the matter to the Megure Police Department.

The racecourse is not open for business, so the police department has no choice but to wait until Saturday.

If they're lucky, they might have caught the robber before Saturday, so they don't have to go to the racetrack to look for a needle in the haystack.

When Aoki Song returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, Takagi Wataru and Tokawa Criminal also came back and got each other's employment photos at Mitsubishi Bank, as well as some work photos.

After comparison, it was found that the photo on the driver's license registered with the license plate number that Aoki Song went to check was the same person as the photo that Takaki and Wataru got back from Mitsubishi Bank.

"It seems that Hirota Kenzo is very likely to be the robber." Wataru Takagi said excitedly.

For the police, the most troublesome and difficult cases are those where there are no clues at all, because they have no idea in which direction to investigate.

Even leaving a fingerprint or footprint can give the police clues.

Although they are not yet able to convict Hirota Kenzo, there is no doubt that all signs indicate that this person is a very suspicious person, and they are just short of an irrefutable proof.

After identifying a clearly identified suspect, they can follow the clues and conduct various investigations on this clear suspect to discover clues about the other party's accomplices and finally catch them all.

"The suspicion is indeed very high, but now he is obviously hiding, and we have no way to arrest him and interrogate the whereabouts of his accomplices," Tokawa Criminal said.

Hearing this, Aoki Song said: "It depends on whether Sato-san can bring us any new clues. If we can know some of Kenzo Hirota's habits from his colleagues, we may not be able to find him smoothly.

"

"I hope so." Takagi Wataru prayed.
