The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 340 Let’s put this case aside for now

"There are so many people coming and going. When the murderer committed these crimes, was he really not afraid of being seen?"

Hattori Heiji's words were also agreed by Conan.

The murderer had done research in choosing the rope, and it didn't take him long to kill the person. He also set up such a venue, so he must be a meticulous person who had planned ahead.

How could a murderer who is meticulous and pays attention to details pin the key of his scheme on something uncertain?

"Forehead......"

Maori Kogoro scratched his head, feeling a little stiff.

"This seems to make some sense."

Although everyone said so, Officer Digging Well still had some hope.

"This, maybe the murderer just wanted to take a gamble."

"Besides, he might not know that so many people would come to the Ebihara family today, right?"

As soon as the Mediterranean well-digger said this, he was immediately refuted by everyone.

"That's impossible. The murderer just killed Sumi Ebihara yesterday. How could he not know that a memorial service would be held here today?"

Hattori Heiji said.

Bai Masong also nodded in agreement and sneered,

"Instead of considering whether the murderer was careless, we police officers should consider other methods of committing the crime."

Bai Masong's cold words made the well-digging police officer's heart skip a beat, and even some cold sweat appeared on his smooth head.

"Yes Yes,"

The well digging officer wiped his forehead with his hand and said quickly,

"Officer Baima is right. We really shouldn't think so superficially."

Seeing his appearance, Hattori Heiji and Conan, two young men who have not yet entered society, couldn't help but despise the police officer led by the Fukui Prefectural Police.

Words like different treatment, rude at first but respectful later, treating people differently based on their situation, a worldly-wise person, and having a serious lack of sense of responsibility for the case can all be used to describe this police officer.

He seemed to be the epitome of the middle-aged, scumbag police officer on the island.

In this regard, the young Hattori Heiji and Conan naturally could not tolerate any sand in their eyes and could not stand such a rogue policeman.

However, Kogoro Mori understood this deeply.

Police officers like the well-digging officer are actually the majority in the country.

Being a non-professional, his room for advancement in life is extremely limited. In addition, his abilities are also limited. No matter how hard he works, he will still be in the middle of nowhere.

The island nation is a country that pays attention to seniority and ranks people based on seniority.

Like the well-digging police officer, who has worked at the grassroots level all his life, he works hard every day and slacks off every day. He won't be promoted anyway, so why should he work so hard for a false sense of justice?

There are actually not many police officers like Inspector Megure, who has worked as a grassroots criminal for a lifetime and is still concerned about cases at such an old age.

Thinking of this, Kogoro Mori sighed slightly in his heart, stopped thinking about it, and then brought his thoughts back to the case.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility!

"Do you think it is possible that the murderer bypassed this wall and threw the victim in from behind it?"

Kogoro Mori seemed to have suddenly come to an understanding and expressed his opinion to Hakuba Matsu and others.

As soon as this was said, Officer Digging Wells immediately agreed, wanting to make up for his previous image of being lazy.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Maori is right!"

"Since it doesn't work from this side, can't we throw it over the wall on the other side?"

Hattori Heiji thought for a moment, but immediately retorted,

"I don't think so either. The reason is the same as the above method."

"If the murderer did this, he would have passed by places where there were people anyway. He couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be seen."

"Um,"

Bai Masong and Conan also nodded secretly.

"That's right,"

Bai Masong said calmly,

"Since the murderer has created such a situation, it must not be such a simple method. He must want to provoke the police."

"So, this must be a method that has basically no major flaws."

Bai Masong's words were unanimously recognized by everyone present.

Indeed, according to the cases they are currently encountering, many of the murderers' methods are used not only to escape punishment but also to provoke the police.

Based on past experience, the method would definitely not be that simple.

"Um, Officer Hakuba, Mr. Maori,"

The well digging officer raised his hand and said weakly,

"Since this case is a bit tricky, why don't we investigate yesterday's case first?"

"That case shouldn't be like today's case, right?"

After listening to what Officer Horii said, Hakuba Matsu, Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro looked at each other and nodded.

The proposal of digging a well this time is acceptable.

After all, in their opinion, both cases were actually committed by the same person.

After all, the two deceased had a lot of similar networks of relationships and a common crazy pursuit of mermaid power, and the murders occurred only one day apart.

Therefore, the two cases can basically be investigated together.

"Can,"

Bai Masong nodded slightly.

"Well, I don't know about yesterday's case..."

Digjing rubbed his hands and asked again.

There's nothing I can do. He wasn't here yesterday, so I can only ask the people involved.

"Oh, right!"

Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered something.

"Last night, didn't we say we wanted to ask Miss Jun Hui about the things on the roster? Now is a good time to go find her first."

"register?"

The well-digging officer asked in confusion.

"That's right,"

Maori Kogoro looked at the confused officer digging the well and explained,

"The person who died last night was Ms. Sumi Ebihara. The biggest suspicious point we found so far is..."

As Kogoro Mori told the story one by one about Sumi Ebihara's obsession with the dugong arrow, her performance at the dugong festival lottery, and her failure to come to claim the prize, Officer Dijing also understood.

"I see. So now we want to look for the list to see if the one who drew the dugong arrow was Miss Ebihara Sumi?"

"That's right,"

Mouri Kogoro nodded.

Officer Horii still had some questions to ask, but Hattori Heiji thought they could talk while walking, so he urged,

"Let's go and ask Miss Jun Hui right now."

(PS: The way Naoko Kuroe died is different from the original, and you should be able to see that. As for what the method is, you can also think about it. Well... it is more pragmatic and not complicated at all. The protagonist Hakuba Matsu is a very pragmatic person and never does those fancy things.)

..................

"Eh? The roster."

Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned and a little confused.

"My great-grandmother doesn't seem to have mentioned this to me before."

Facing Shimabukuro Kimie's doubts, Maori Kogoro immediately said,

"Ah, maybe the old lady thought we would tell you directly, so she didn't mention it."
