Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

Chapter 580 579. News from Yamanashi Prefectural Police

Shoji Horikoshi spoke very well, his tone was very firm, and it looked like he was not telling lies.

But this does not give Sou Takuya a reason to give up doubting him.

Sotakuya is not the kind of goddess detective who treats deer as a horse.

Without definite evidence, he would not do anything to Shoji Horikoshi.

But at the very least, as a Tokyo citizen, it is Shoji Horikoshi's obligation to cooperate with the police investigation.

At this time, it is better for everyone to be decent.

Of course, if Shoji Horikoshi chooses to be dishonorable, So Takuya will help him show his dignity.

After giving Horikoshi Shoji a warning look, Sotakuya didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore. If this kid was smart enough, he could forcefully leave.

So Takuya's arrangement of play actually made Horikoshi unable to deal with him.

As a true native of Tokyo, Shoji Horikoshi has a deep understanding of the changes in the Tokyo police in recent years.

In the past, Shoji Horikoshi would have just left when faced with this situation, without hesitation at all.

But not now.

The gangsters who were subdued on the streets, or the criminals who were forcefully dragged out of their homes by Tokyo police detectives.

Each of these incidents shows that the style of the Tokyo police is becoming more and more like that of their Osaka counterparts.

Even in some aspects, there are some that are even worse.

This young police chief looks uneasy and kind-hearted at first glance!
I must not be fooled!
In the end, despite the fact that the relationship between Horikoshi Shoji and Tsuneyama Misa was on the verge of breaking up, Tsuneyama Misa kindly rescued her would-be ex-boyfriend.

But this time the bailout was undoubtedly just a courtesy.

The relationship between the two has reached a point where it can never go on.

So Takuya didn't pay too much attention to the young lover whose relationship has come to an end. He is now answering a call from the head of the Yamanashi Prefecture Criminal Police.

"What are you talking about? You have discovered the suspected suspect and the suspicious vehicle?" Zong Takuya's voice suddenly rose, but there was still a trace of confusion.

Are we saying that the police in Yamanashi Prefecture usually speak so strictly?

What are suspected suspects and suspicious vehicles?
Haven't you already told them the suspect's basic characteristics and license plate number?

Besides, there is a big living person like Mao Lilan in the back seat of the car. It is difficult to confirm what is wrong with this thing.

After asking for the address, Sotakuya rushed to the scene with Reiko Akitaka and Conan immediately.

Judy and Akai Shuichi were left behind by Sotakuya to look after the campsite. The most important thing was to watch Horikoshi Shoji and not let him get away.

Although the Yamanashi Prefecture police have made some discoveries, Sotakuya's intuition is still warning him not to open the champagne at halftime until the dust settles.

Following the instructions of the Chief of the Search Section [-] of the Yamanashi Prefecture Criminal Department, Sotakuya drove to the middle of Winding Road.

From a distance, I saw that a section of the mountain road was surrounded by police and cordoned off.

After Sotakuya's car arrived, the Yamanashi Prefectural police immediately let him go. At the same time, the head of the Yamanashi Prefectural Police Investigation Section [-] also came to greet him.

"Chief Zong, this is the first time we meet, I really admire your name for a long time!" The first search section chief of the Yamanashi Prefectural Police said this with no polite words at all.

The long admiration in his mouth is really not adulterated at all.

Whether it was Sotakuya's promotion speed or his usual achievements, he was beyond his reach.

Seeing such a young Sotakuya at this time, he even felt as excited as a fan meeting his idol.

It is quite rare for such an emotion to appear in a detective who is known for his calmness. "Chief Hamada, we're not polite, what's the situation now?" Mao Lilan has not been found yet, and the situation is still urgent.

Zong Takuya didn't have time to be polite, so he asked directly.

Hamada Kenji also understood the urgency of the situation and did not say much. Instead, he led Sotakuya to a place inside the cordon where the guardrail was knocked open.

“After receiving your request for support from Section Chief Zong, our headquarters immediately dispatched criminal police and patrols from the local station to blockade Omotai Village Mountain Road.

While the mountain road was blocked, the traffic department also conducted a search along the mountain road.

Then the accident scene was discovered. "

Sotakuya stuck his head out from the damaged part of the guardrail and looked down.

There was a crashed car at the foot of the cliff. The license plate was difficult to see clearly due to the distance.

Just when Sotakuya was about to check the license plate number with the help of Dr. Agasa's props, Hamada Kenji handed over some photos:
"Here are the close-up photos of the scene that were urgently sent by forensics personnel."

Kenji Hamada said hesitantly, but still handed the photo to Sotakuya.

Sotakuya understood Hamada Kenji's hesitation at a glance.

Because the license plate number of the vehicle that crashed into the cliff in the photo was not the one Shuichi Akai had seen before.

But the driver in the cab fit the image of the kidnapper in both dress and appearance.

"How is the driver's condition?" Zong Takuya asked reluctantly.

Hamada Kenji shook his head: "It's not good. He was already unconscious when we found him, and he is now being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

But the ambulance doctor was less optimistic. "

"In addition, we found this at the scene." Hamada Kenji picked up two evidence bags, each containing a mobile phone.

One of the phones is a flip phone, and the other is a touch-screen smartphone.

Through the key chain on the smartphone, Zong Takuya recognized that it was Mao Lilan's mobile phone.

The kidnapper's extortion call was also made through Mao Lilan's mobile phone. Another flip phone was open, and when the screen was turned on, a half-written text message could be seen.

It’s just that the recipient has not been filled in yet.

So Takuya asked Hamada Kenji while reading the text message halfway called on the gangster's phone: "Where is the kidnapped girl.

Did you find it in the car? "

Kenji Hamada shook his head regretfully: "This is also what we are not sure about. In addition to the appearance of the driver, he can match the characteristics of the gangster, whether it is the model of the vehicle or the license plate number.

Forensics officers even conducted an urgent and thorough search of the interior of the vehicle.

But there was no trace that the victim had been in the car. "

Changing cars midway?
This was Sotakuya's first reaction when he heard the news.

Let’s look at the content of the message:

[The woman will die at 15:00, please give her the remaining money]

Not surprisingly, this should be a hired "killer", and his target is...
Zong Takuya checked the gangster's cell phone again, and then found a blurry photo in the phone.

Although the figure in the photo is blurry, it is obvious that it is a woman and she is wearing pink clothes.
