The Working Emperor starts with Conan

After Sato's mother told Takagi almost all of Sato Masayoshi's interpersonal relationships, it was evening.

Sato did not go home because he worked overtime, and Takagi was also ready to say goodbye.

However, Sato's mother persuaded him to stay by saying, "How can we let the guests leave hungry when it's dinner time?"

So Toyama Fei used Takagi's light to have a dinner at Sato's house.

Shortly after Toyama Tobi and Takagi left, Officer Sato returned home from a day of overtime work.

"Mom, is there a visitor at home?" Officer Sato asked curiously, standing under the entrance with two pairs of men's slippers obviously placed there.

"Yeah, I just came home to sit for a while and then left." Sato's mother seemed to understand the thoughts of today's young people.

Although Takagi did not tell Sato's mother to keep it secret, she still chose not to tell her daughter about it.

Maybe there is also the thought of not wanting to let my daughter's hopes be dashed again.

My mother didn’t say anything and Officer Sato didn’t care either. As the anniversary of my father’s death approached, my father’s old friends would occasionally come to visit us.

Takagi took Toyama Tobi back to the Metropolitan Police Department and went to the archives room to find the files and evidence of the last case handled by Masayoshi Sato eighteen years ago.

Since there were no suspects available for investigation in this case, Takagi had no choice but to start from scratch.

"I remember hearing from my seniors that Police Sato confirmed the identity of the suspect immediately after watching the video, and then went to arrest the person." Takagi found a copy of the surveillance video tape, then found a projector and started playing it. stand up.

Once, twice, three times. Takagi never discovered the mystery in the surveillance video.

He watched the video over and over again and recited the three katakana names "Kanaji (KA·N·O)" that were the only clues in the volume.

This clue was written in the police manual of Masayoshi Sato, but unfortunately, eighteen years later, no one has deciphered what these three katakana represent.

"So, what's different about this video?" Takagi scratched his head in distress.

The video shows a standard bank robbery scene. The gangsters stormed into the bank with guns, and then the bank chose to cooperate after a commotion.

Just as the gangster was about to leave, a guard who was new to the industry suddenly stood up to stop the gangster. Then the gangster simply attacked the guard with the butt of his gun.

It can be seen from the gangster's choice that the gangster did not actually want to kill the guard.

But after all, the human head is a hard and fragile body tissue. The guard died on the spot when the gun was held down.

It's unfair to say that some people can still stand up unsteadily even after having three vases hammered on them, but some people just get hit with the butt of a gun and die so simply.

Seeing that Takagi really had no clue, Tobi Toyama had no choice but to remind him: "Since Police Sato was the suspect who was targeted the moment he saw the image, the problem should still be with the robber.

Maybe it was some kind of distinctive feature that led Sato Police Officer to recognize that this was his friend at a glance? "

Gao Mu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You are right, Yuanshan!"

Takagi first paused the picture, then stared at the robber in the picture. After a while, Takagi slowly shook his head.

It shouldn't be a physical characteristic.

The robber was well prepared, and no part of his body was exposed. It was obvious that Police Inspector Sato was not the suspect identified based on his body shape and appearance.

If it's not the appearance, then it might be the actions of gangsters. Some people will do some small actions inadvertently.

He may not feel it himself, but anyone familiar with it will recognize it as soon as he sees that little movement.

Takagi played the videotape again, staring at the gangster's movements in the videotape.

No, no small tricks, the entire robbery plan was neat and neat, without any sloppiness.

It was obvious that this was a bank robbery that was well planned and even practiced in advance. The only surprise was the guard who stopped the gangsters as they were about to leave.

and many more!

As soon as the scene of the gangster attacking the guard with the butt of his gun passed, Takagi immediately pressed pause. He didn't speak, just frowned and stared at the screen.

It was actually fine when he didn't notice the gangster's movements just now, but now that he noticed the gangster's movements, Takagi suddenly felt a sense of disharmony.

When normal people use gun butts to attack others, most of them will choose the method of using gun butts in movies and TV series.

That is to keep the normal gun-eating posture unchanged, and then smash down hard with the butt of the gun.

But this gangster uses the gun butt in a different way than ordinary people. He uses the gun butt more like a stick?

A stick that looks like a baseball bat? That’s right, a baseball bat!

A bolt of white lightning instantly flashed across Takagi's brain, allowing him to experience what it means to transcend tribulation in his brain.

Takagi remembers clearly that Sato's mother said that Masayoshi Sato was a member of the baseball team when he was in school. At the same time, even when he became a police officer, he maintained a very good relationship with his former teammates on the baseball team!

It makes sense, everything makes sense!

If it was the signature move of a teammate who had been with him day and night and trained together all day long, Masayoshi Sato would certainly be able to recognize it at a glance!

Takagi quickly flipped through the police manual in his hand and directly targeted one of the suspects - Shikano Shuji!

As for the three katakana names in Masayoshi Sato's police manual, they were also deciphered by Takagi when he was going through the robbery in his mind.

That white lightning was like giving Takagi a layer of reasoning buff!

The interpretation method of カンオ is to recombine the three katakana Roman characters KA·N·O into KA·NO (かの) Kano Shuji’s surname pronunciation!

Yes, that’s it! The suspect has been identified!

Takagi is very excited, but now is not the time to be happy.

Although they have identified the suspect, Takagi still needs to visit and investigate.

For example, what kind of movements did Shuji Kano make when using a baseball bat? If you want to verify this, you have to find someone who was on the same baseball team as Masayoshi Sato.

The person verifying cannot be an acquaintance of Shikano Shuji, otherwise there is a high risk of leaking information and leaking information.

In the next three days, Takagi specifically asked for leave from Officer Megure, then found the school where Masayoshi Sato went to, and went to the baseball team to find the coach at the time.

After confirmation by the coach, this special posture is indeed the posture of Shuji Shikano using a baseball bat.

Because the batting posture is special but the strength is very strong, the coach still remembers it to this day.

Takagi just roughly imitated Shikano Shuji's movements, and was immediately recognized by the baseball team coach who blocked him.

Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!

In other words, the only thing left is to arrest the suspect in the robbery, murder and assault on the police eighteen years ago, Masayoshi Sato's baseball teammate, and Sato's old friend who has been a police officer for many years - Shuji Kano!
