Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

The three people traveled lightly and quickly from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture.

Because it was a secret investigation, Sotakuya did not alert the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters, but only contacted the Nagano Prefectural Public Security Bureau.

Local police and local police headquarters appear to be one, but in fact they are two completely different systems.

In the public security system, the Public Security Headquarters has far more control over local police than the Metropolitan Police Department has over local police headquarters.

The Metropolitan Police Department has more influence than control over local police headquarters.

Even some local police headquarters cannot influence the Metropolitan Police Department, such as the Osaka Prefecture Police Headquarters.

Rather than saying they are a country within a country, these local police headquarters that listen to tunes but not announcements seem to be more like princes from one side.

Local police are completely different.

As the second counselor in charge of national intelligence, So Takuya has absolute jurisdiction over the local police.

When faced with the "imperial envoys" coming down from the headquarters, the local police also have to respond with utmost vigor.

If a response is not good, the headquarters will feel that the local area is starting to lose control.

That means that the local police will usher in a major purge that will break their muscles and bones.

Naturally, the big purge here does not mean simply killing everyone, but changing to an unfamiliar area, and by the way, changing to a less important department.

The headquarters can still do this.

Therefore, Zong Takuya could contact the local police without any scruples without fear that they would disclose the whereabouts of his group to the Metropolitan Police Department.

The local police took Zong Takuya and the three of them to a remote mountain village.

This is where the capital flows into the court every year.

Before heading to the village, Zong Takuza had already asked people to investigate the details of the village.

It should not be said that it is some information about the village.

Although this village is located in a remote area, the people in the village are not poor. The village is built on the mountain and has retained many customs during the modernization process.

For example, there will be a festival in the village soon, and the funds from Oba Trading Company also flow into it at this time of year.

"According to the records in the accounts of Da Ting Trading Company, the main purpose of this fund, which is allocated every year, is to support the organization of local festivals.

Do you believe it? "

Sotakuya was walking in the village with Gunda Ikumi and Morofuku Takaaki. The village festival was about to be held. During this time, some foreign tourists also came to the village one after another.

The villagers were not surprised by these outsiders, and even enthusiastically promoted their village's specialties to them.

In fact, the so-called specialty products are nothing special.

Japan's land area is small, and the area is only so big.

Even if there are some differences in folk customs, they are not too different.

Therefore, the specialties sold in the village are actually more souvenirs and souvenirs, just like those sold in tourist attractions.

Nothing special.

In such a featureless village, Da Ting Trading Company regularly injects a sum of money every year to support them in holding festivals.

None of the management of Oba Trading Company has even the slightest connection with this village.

Are these people crazy?

On one side, they took risks to earn illegal money, and on the other side, they used the money to fund a festival that had nothing to do with them in a village.

"Of course I don't believe it," Gunda Ikumi sneered. There are many people who do good things.

But it will never happen to people with big families.

"The people from Da Ting Trading Company must have ulterior motives." "I agree with what Officer Gunda said." Zhufu Gaoming still looked elegant and said calmly at this moment:

"In fact, in the final analysis, there are only a few possibilities for what Da Ting Trading Company does.

Either they are using the celebration as a pretext to launder money.

But it is only laundered once a year, and the amount cannot be laundered at one time. In addition, Da Ting has its own fixed money laundering channels.

I don't think it's money laundering. "

"It's impossible to sell drugs. If it's payment for goods, the money doesn't seem to be enough.

Moreover, Oba Trading Company does not have drug trafficking business. "Ikumi Gunda denied the possibility of drug trafficking.

Although the village is located in a remote area, it seems to be a suitable base for drug dealers.

Da Ting Trading Company usually does more business of fraud and pig killing.

It's not easy to understand just one illegal thing. The management of Datong Trading Company is still clear-headed and won't want to do everything.

Furthermore, Tokyo's drug market is already saturated, and its spheres of influence are clearly divided.

As an "outside household", it is difficult for Da Ting to get a share of the pie.

The most important thing is that those who sell drugs are a group of people who lick blood with their swords. The scammers of Dating Trading Company are not ruthless enough.

Don't dare to risk your life with others.

"Then it seems that the last thing left is either drugs or gambling." Zong Takuya made the final decision. It was an easy choice to choose between gambling and drugs.

"Let's go, let's find a place to learn about the festival here." Just as Sotakuya was about to find a place to learn about the characteristics of the festival, he spotted a dark and unique high school student among the crowd.

"Why is he here?" Sotakuya was a little curious. In the world of Conan, the only high school student who can be called black is Hattori Heiji.

And the appearance of Hattori Heiji here seems to indicate that

Sure enough, Sotakuya looked up and discovered the combination of Mouri Kogoro and Conan.

Okay, what kind of evil thing did this village do that caused all the shinigami to appear in this place?

At that moment, Sotakuya shouted to them: "Mr. Mori, Hattori~"

"Zong Counselor?"

"Brother Takuya!"

Naturally, the group of people met for a while and exchanged pleasantries. During the greetings, Takuya also learned the reason why Kogoro Mori and Heiji Hattori came here.

This time Mouri Kogoro, Conan and Xiaolan came to meet a family named Torada who lived in Nagano Prefecture.

They learned from the current head of the household, Naobubu Torada, that his son Yoshiro had died in a tornado not long ago.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha went to the Tatsuo family.

In the mansion of the Tatsuo family, Heiji and Kazuha listened to the current head of the family, Tatsuo Shi, about how his son Koji was kidnapped and killed not long ago.

Conan and Heiji, who accepted their respective commissions, met during the investigation of the case and decided to explore the truth of the incident together.

Just when they left Hutian and were about to go to Tatsuo's house, they happened to meet Sotakuya and his group at the village market.

"That is to say, in addition to the murder case you each want to investigate, during the investigation you also learned about another case that happened six years ago?"

Hattori Heiji and Mouri Kogoro arrived earlier than Sotakuya, so they naturally knew more information.

After hearing from the two of them that a patrolman died in mysterious circumstances six years ago, Sotakuya frowned deeply. (End of chapter)
