Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

"Counsellor, you are right." Matsumoto Kiyonaga complimented Sotakuya, and then continued:

"But I can't guarantee that the gangsters back then also had such common sense. So I still want to try it."

"I understand, I will help you pay attention when the time comes." Sotakuya said to Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

After agreeing to these two things, Sotakuya returned to the office and asked Miyano Akemi to help him find files from 20 years ago.

Twenty years ago, a serial murder case occurred in Mika Town. At that time, there was a police inspector Morimura in the First Investigation Division, who was the supervisor of Matsumoto Kiyonaga in the police department at the time.

While checking the suspect's vehicle, he was knocked down and the driver hit and run.

The suspect who was being interrogated by Morimura police whistled and shed tears when he was interrogated by Morimura.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga then traced the whereabouts of the suspect and was attacked by the suspect with a Japanese sword.

Officer Matsumoto grabbed the Japanese sword and left a horizontal stab wound on the suspect.

Although Matsumoto Kiyonaga left a stab wound on the suspect, he couldn't see it at the time, so he didn't know whether it was the chest or the back.

This case is an obsession for Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

It seems that every criminal police officer will have a few unsolved cases on his mind.

Some detectives even retired or even passed away without waiting for good news.

And some lucky detectives will get a result that can only comfort them decades later.

How to put it, Sotakuya doesn't know whether justice that is decades late can really be regarded as justice.

So now when handling cases, Zong Takuya is more aggressive because he doesn't want to experience this kind of "delayed justice."

After knowing the case well, Zong Takuya was not optimistic about Matsumoto Kiyonaga's plan.

A fugitive murderer could disappear for fifteen years without committing another crime.

Obviously this means that such a murderer has a fixed source of money. Maybe they have a regular job, or they are not even short of money at all.

I want to use money to find such a murderer.

Of course, Sotakuya did not completely deny the possibility. You can never predict the unexpected arrival in life.

For example, the murderer might have encountered an accident that required a lot of money~

This is hard to say, and Sotakuya will not deny the appeal of this 1 million yen.

So according to the agreed time, Zong Takuya came to Zhuangtang Hutao's home, which was a luxurious single-family villa that looked quite luxurious and was carefully taken care of.

At the door, Sotakuya was received by Taisuke Hotani, the housekeeper of the Shotang family.

The two of them walked through the vestibule towards the door of the villa while talking. When Sotakuya walked up the door steps, Taisuke Hotani's words stopped him.

"Wait, what did you say? Your eldest lady has already chosen two candidates as saviors.

Are you still hosting people at home now? "

Taisuke Hoya nodded in embarrassment, then gritted his teeth and chose to tell Sotakuya frankly.

After Odagiri Toshiro learned that Shodo Kurumi wanted to find his childhood savior, he immediately helped contact Sotakuya.

Although Odagiri Toshiro helped contact him, this does not mean that Sotakuya will put down his work and leave to help.

Being able to take a day off to help out shows that the relationship between Sotakuya and Odagiri Toshiro, the second-in-command, is indeed very good. But according to Taisuke Hotani, Shodo Kurumi can't wait for Sotakuya to come to visit on the weekend.

Just a few days ago, I started the recruitment process for my savior.

After fierce competition, a large number of "contestants" who wanted to fish in troubled waters were deprived of the qualification to spend 1 million yen for free.

In the end, these two people are left, both of whom sound like "saviors" that meet Zhuangtang Hutao's requirements in every aspect.

"I'm really sorry!" Taisuke Hotani bowed deeply to Sotakuya and apologized for his eldest lady.

If Shodo Kurumi's behavior was said by Kamizuna online, it would be a slap in Sou Takuya's face.

Even if he said it more seriously, he would slap Odagiri Toshiro in the face.

The two big guys from the Metropolitan Police Department are both thinking about you, and one of them even came over to help you on a voluntary basis when he was about to take a break.

As a result, you came here and said "This is my own business, you don't need to worry about it"?

It's not impossible for anyone with a small heart to hate Zhuangtang Hutao just because of this.

Sotakuya doesn't hate Shodo Kurumi, and he doesn't have any dissatisfaction.

But when he saw Taisuke Hotani's face full of shame and guilt, he suddenly had an idea.

"I'm telling you, you guys shouldn't have hired a detective to help investigate because of those two savior candidates?"

In the eyes of outsiders, police officers who are compared with detectives all day long and are often belittled by the media as inferior to detectives will definitely hate the profession of detectives.

So from the moment they met until now, Taisuke Hotani has never dared to tell Sotakuya about this, until Sotakuya guessed the situation himself.

"Yes, yes. I'm really sorry!" The eldest lady insisted on this. What could he, the housekeeper, do?

I can only help find the last detective!
.

dong dong.

"Miss, Mr. Sou is here." Taisuke Hotani opened the door of the restaurant and let So Takuya in.

Shodo Kurumi seemed very happy when she heard Sotakuya's arrival, but she still apologized to Sotakuya very politely.

"Officer Zong, I'd really like to trouble you to make a trip. I really can't wait to know the identity of my savior, so I took it upon myself to start screening these candidates in advance."

Sotakuya stopped Shodo Kurumi's apology and said kindly: "It's okay, Miss Shodo, I can completely understand your urgency.

So are these two candidates for the final round? "

"And Mr. Mori, we meet again~" Sotakuya said hello to Kogoro Mori.

As the most popular and popular detective in Yoneka Town, it didn't surprise him that Kogoro Mouri appeared here.

"Hey, why are there police here?" The dark-skinned candidate with dreadlocks who looked more mixed-race than Hattori Heiji was called Sogo Banba.

When he heard that Sotakuya was a policeman, he was obviously nervous.

The candidate beside him, Kusumoto Ryuhei, was much calmer. He immediately accused Banba Sogo of coming here to make a living. Otherwise, even if he was a police officer, what would he have to be nervous about?

Kusumoto Ryuhei seems to be speaking with great justice, but if Sotakuya hadn't just discovered that his little self's eyes only met his own for a moment, he looked away with a guilty conscience.

I'm afraid it's easy to believe his lies.

From the current point of view, Sotakuya doesn't think there is any need to ask about the scars on these two people. Based on this performance, the selection of saviors this time can easily be wiped out~ (End of this chapter)
