Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Chapter 756 Mysterious Man

At the special investigation headquarters located in the conference room of the Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo, many investigators, led by a detective from the First Investigation Division, gathered.

Inspector Jigure and Manager Heibei Kuroda stood side by side on the Hinata, and sitting in the front row opposite them were Detective Kazunobu Inuiye, Inspector Shiratori, and Inspector Suga, the head of the Reform Preparation Office.

On the large screen at the front of the room, pictures including a photo of Inspector Sametani's face and a full body with bullet marks were being shown.

"Inspector Sametani had a gunshot wound through his chest. A bullet was also found at the scene. It was a 30-caliber rifle bullet." After listening to Chiba's report, Kuroda looked back at the screen and asked, "Rifle?"

There was also a commotion among the detectives.

"Yes. They are bullets from large-caliber rifles, commonly used for hunting in the mountains." Photos of the bullets found at the scene were displayed on the screen.

"Have you ever played with a rifle before?" In response to Kuroda's question, Chiba replied, "No."

"Next, the victim's footprints."

"Yes." Hearing Megure's voice, Shiratori stood up: "Last Saturday, Inspector Sametani went to Yamanashi Prison to meet with the inmate Mikuni Sadakuni. His whereabouts after that were unknown, but he returned to Tokyo yesterday, which was Sunday night. Then this morning, he was scheduled to meet with former Metropolitan Police Department police officer Kogoro Mori."

On the big screen, a photo of Kogoro was shown next to the photo of Sametani. Suga, who was sitting next to Shiratori, looked at the screen with a complicated expression.

"Although the two are friends, this is the first time they have met since Maori resigned from the Metropolitan Police Department. But before they met, Sametani was killed." Shiratori said.

"What was the reason for the two of you to meet?" In response to Megure's question, Shiratori replied, "That is not clear at the moment."

"Mr. Maori said that there might be information about Inspector Yamato of the Nagano Prefectural Police. Please look here."

A document titled "Mitakayama avalanche accident" appeared on the big screen, and there was also a photo of Yamato next to it.

Shiratori said, "This is the last document that Inspector Sametani looked at before he went to Nagano. The perpetrator of this avalanche was Inspector Yamato."

Kuroda glanced at the screen and then turned to look at Shiratori: "Do you mean that the reason why Inspector Sametani was murdered might be related to Inspector Yamato?"

"I think it's very likely." said White Bird.

Megure said: "I understand. Regarding this matter, please see the report from the Nagano Prefecture Police--"

At this moment, a man sitting in the second row suddenly stood up, walked to the stepped aisle between the long tables, leaned against the table and put his hand on his chin.

"Manager Kuroda. If we just wait like this, I don't think we'll receive a true report."

After the man in the striped double-layer suit finished speaking, he walked down the steps and came to Kuroda: "I went to the Nagano Prefectural Police Station to direct the scene."

"Prosecutor Hasebe." Kuroda addressed the man standing in front of him. "You are sent by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. Your job is to investigate the headquarters. You should not be here."

Hasebe turned to look at the detectives, opened his arms and said, "There is no such legal provision for prosecutors in the investigation headquarters, Officer." Hasebe faced Hinata again and took a step forward, getting closer to Kuroda.

Kuroda was sitting as if looking down.

"Even though you are the head of the investigation headquarters, please don't forget that your police are under the command of our prosecutors. Do you understand?" Hasebe stared at Kuroda and suddenly grinned.

After Conan and Xiaolan took a taxi from Sakudaira Station into the observatory area, they stopped in front of the reception and guard room.

While Xiaolan was checking in, Conan was looking at the sign next to the reception desk.

Xiaolan said: "Sorry for the wait, Conan. I heard everyone is waiting for us out front."

As Conan and Ran walked along the straight road, the children were near the millimeter wave interferometer. There was a car parked next to it, and the parabolic antenna on the roof was being raised up and slowly opened.

"Oh! It's open!"

“Like a flower.”

"Ah, Conan! Sister Xiaolan!"

Ayumi saw Conan and Ran walking towards them and waved happily.

After Conan and the others walked up to the children, the door of a car opened and Ochi walked out.

"It's Conan and Xiaolan, I'm Ochi."

"first meet."

"I'm sorry to ask you to come here so suddenly."

"It's okay." Ochi said, turning back to look in the direction of the car: "I was just explaining this mobile observation vehicle."

"Can you observe celestial bodies while moving?" In response to Xiaolan's question, it was Professor Agasa next to her who answered: "Rather than saying that, it's better to say that it's an excellent device that can be used to move to a place where it is easier to receive cosmic radio waves and analyze them."

At this moment, a clicking noise like a Boeing came from the front of the glasses legs of Conan. It was Kogoro, who had a bug installed on his body, who moved into the range where the radio waves could reach.

“…I went to Yamanashi Prison.”

The noise faded away and Yui's voice was clearly heard.

prison?

Just as Conan was concentrating on listening to the sound from the bug,

"Hey - but, Conan, Conan?" Ran at the side kept shouting while looking at Conan's face.

"Ah? Yes, yes~ That's amazing!" Conan quickly agreed.

"Well, let me introduce the interior of this mobile observation vehicle."

"it is good--"

Ran followed the children and approached the mobile observation vehicle, so Conan once again focused his attention on listening to the sound in the bug.

“…The formalities have been completed. You can meet Yukiya Sadakuni next.” A strange man’s voice came from the signal receiver of the glasses.

This voice...

However, Conan always felt as if he had heard this man's voice somewhere before, and recently...

"Oh, sorry. Are you okay?"

Suddenly, the face of the man he bumped into in front of Sakudaira Station appeared in Conan's mind.

It’s that man…!
