A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 228 The plan begins!

"Hehe, Mr. Jinbao, it's really leisurely. Come here for a walk in the evening."

Although the mountain village police officer was polite, his face did not relax at all. The handcuffs from his arms had been taken out, holding them like a death scythe.

"Officer Shancun, what do you mean by that? You don't really think I'm the murderer, besides, why would I kill someone I've never met?"

Facing the handcuffs, Masao Jimbo looked a little nervous, but he still pretended to be ignorant and asked aloud.

"Mr. Jinbao, at this point, you have nowhere to go. Give up your resistance. Do you think we will wait for you here? Is it just a guess?"

This time it was not the Yamamura police officer who spoke, but the uncle. To be precise, it was Conan who was hiding behind the seat. He needed to get Masao Jimbo to confess his guilt as soon as possible, and the time for anesthesia was running out.

Before Masao Jimbo could refute, Conan continued to speak.

"Five years ago, there was a bank robbery in Junma County. There were two principal culprits. However, due to the careful planning, the police did not arrest them immediately and let the two escape."

"So this incident gradually became a suspicious case. Unexpectedly, today, five years later, the two principal culprits have become one person."

"And the last person is you, Mr. Jinbao. The box in your hand is probably filled with banknotes from that bank robbery."

Masao Jimbo, who was holding a suitcase, was terrified, but his face still showed a fearless look.

"Mr. Maori, don't think that you are a great detective, so you can frame others casually."

"Let's not mention the bank robbery for the time being. After the police check the contents of your box, the truth will come to light. After all, the bank has recorded the lost banknotes."

Conan didn't get entangled in this matter, because the robbery happened too long ago, and there was no way to obtain evidence. He just deduced it based on various small clues, and the authenticity could not stand the test.

"The man in red who appeared in the hotel five years ago did not commit suicide, but homicide, and the time of death was not four years ago, but the day after he walked out of the hotel five years ago."

"Among the two of you, the man in red is supposed to keep the banknotes, but after he got the banknotes, he was worried that he wouldn't get his own share, so he buried the banknotes next to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who fell to the ground."

"And hide the specific location in the newspaper, hand it over to Yoshiro Toda, let him take care of it, and tell you that the money has been hidden by him, and he will share the spoils after the limelight passes. You thought the man in red wanted to keep it to himself, Then he became murderous."

"However, you made a mistake. The man in red hid the money too secretly. Although you found the innkeeper based on the information left by the man in red, you only got the curse letter. This is unacceptable to you."

"So, you stayed in the hotel and wanted to search nearby. Unexpectedly, the search took five years."

At this time, Masao Jimbo's face was no longer as calm as before, gloomy and uncertain, as if his own thoughts had been picked out.

The mountain village police officer looked at the uncle with closed eyes admiringly. His idol was really amazing, and he got so much information with just such a little clue.

However, Conan's face in the car became a little nervous. He felt that the uncle's breathing was not as steady as before, and he was about to reach the edge of sobriety, so he sped up his reasoning.

"Five years later, when you learned that the hotel owner had a box left by a man in red and invited me to crack it, you took the opportunity to find someone pretending to be me and took the box ahead of time."

"I didn't expect that there was nothing in the box except an old newspaper, and this person pretending to be me extorted a huge amount of money from you. You killed him on impulse, and then disguised it as a suicide scene."

"Hahaha, big detective, you have said so much, what about the evidence, these are just your reasoning, it doesn't make any sense."

The flustered Masao Jimbo suddenly calmed down, trying to find a loophole in Conan's words, but in the end he really found it, with a little pride on his face.

"Of course there is evidence, because if you want to disguise the scene as a suicide, you have to borrow the chessboard that was placed on the table at that time. In order to prevent slipping, you must take off your socks. I don't know if Mr. Jinbao remembered to wipe them off afterwards. What about the footprints?"

Masao Jimbo's face suddenly became very ugly. He was negligent. At that time, he was only concerned about removing his own fingerprints, but he even forgot about the footprints.

"I think the police should be able to confirm that you have entered and exited that room as long as they compare your foot prints."

"I can prove this. There are indeed footprints on the chessboard. The forensics department has notified me and specifically asked me to collect the footprints of all the staff in the hotel tomorrow for comparison."

Yamamura Police Officer’s supplement made Masao Jimbo completely give up his rebuttal. The evidence was already in front of him, and he could not allow him to refute.

"Hehehe, the famous detective Mori Kogoro really lives up to his reputation. I want to know when you started to doubt me."

"From when you handed us your phone."

This made Masao Jimbo look puzzled, he just handed over his mobile phone, there is nothing suspicious about it.

"I just follow..."

In the middle of speaking, Masao Jimbo suddenly reacted, his face darkened, he was careless.

"It seems that you have figured it out. We didn't reveal our identities at the time, but you found us directly by relying on the stickers on your phone. This means that you have long known that Kogoro Mori in the house is pretending to be, and we are the real ones. "

"Wow, I didn't expect Mr. Maori to identify the suspect just based on a small loophole. You are a good detective."

While praising the uncle, the Yamamura police officer picked up the handcuffs and walked towards Masao Jimbo, wanting to arrest him and bring him to justice. Unexpectedly...

"Hahaha, the famous detective really deserves his reputation, but have you considered that I will run away?"

In this desperate situation, Masao Jimbo suddenly sneered, glanced disdainfully at the thin village police officer, turned and ran into the depths of the forest.

"Don't run! You have nowhere to go."

The mountain village police officer yelled and chased after him. Masao Jimbo looked back and found that the uncle was still unmoved, and a confident smile appeared on his face. Now no one can stop him from escaping.

"Oh!"

While he was being happy, a huge force suddenly came from his waist. After Masao Jimbo hit the ground heavily, he felt the pain from his waist and wailed loudly.

"Stop howling, save some energy, and wait until you have to exert yourself in prison."

Accompanied by the speech, Noah slowly walked out of the dark forest. He had been lying in ambush for a long time. What he was afraid of was that this person would escape. After all, he was also a robber before, so he would not be so honest and just get caught.

It now appears that he guessed right.

……

Tokyo, inside an apartment.

"Xiuyi, is the officer coming?"

"Tomorrow's plane, in order to prevent exposure, the exact time is not yet known, we just need to be prepared."

Akai Hideichi fiddled with the weapon in his hand, and replied without looking back that tomorrow he will carry this weapon to cover his boss, in case the organization makes a move.

"Oh, the easy days are over, I haven't had enough fun yet."

Although Judy's tone was full of frustration, her face was not like that. She looked excited and looking forward to it. She finally waited for this day.

Belmode!
