The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 55 Intelligence Bourbon T0

Just as Toru Amuro and Takuya Mifune were arguing, another figure got out from the passenger seat of the sports car.

The man was tall and thin, with a waist-to-body ratio higher than that of an average person. He was wearing a thin khaki shawl and had a uniquely calm look on his face.

Toru Amuro recognized that the man was Rin Shakuha, one of the important figures in the last Dorobiga Paradise incident.

Because he acted too low-key, they almost overlooked this person and only noticed him after being reminded by squad leader Ida.

Although the results of the investigation are very clear.

Rin Shakuha, whose father is Rin Soumei, is the Osaka regional consultant for the Suzuki Group, and whose mother is Fujiwara Mio, the eldest daughter of the Fujiwara family in Kyoto.

If they traced further up, they would come across the Fujiwara family. Although they did not investigate too deeply, the power of the Fujiwara family in the political arena could not be ignored.

His parents got married when they were both 21 years old, and had this child the following year. When they got married, they faced resistance from the Fujiwara family because Rin Soraki was unwilling to change his surname by marrying into the family.

As a traditional powerful family, the Fujiwara family certainly could not accept the fact that their first heir was marrying a person from a different family. So when Rinshakuha was three years old, the pressure from the Fujiwara family finally reached a peak and the two agreed to divorce.

Later, Fujiwara Mio did not take over the helm of the family business as the Fujiwara family had expected. Instead, she went to the United States alone to Hollywood and began her acting career. She quickly became famous and became the internationally acclaimed "Queen Mio".

It was also from this year that Rin Kongming devoted himself to the industrial management of the Suzuki Group, gradually encroaching on other Osaka companies and stepping on the accelerator on the road to this behemoth dominating Japan.

Interestingly, in order to resist the tactics of the Fujiwara family, the two lived in Tokyo after their marriage, but after their divorce, they both chose to leave Tokyo, leaving the young Rinshakuha alone in the Suzuki family.

The two have not returned to Tokyo for more than ten years.

With the support of the Suzuki family, Rinshakuha completed his studies from elementary school to junior high school in an orderly manner. Interestingly, in his high school year, he took the initiative to transfer to Kyoto to attend high school, and during high school he completed systematic learning on motor vehicle driving, small aircraft driving, and various small boat operations.

After graduating from high school, Rinshakuha moved out of the Suzuki family and stayed in Kyoto for another two years. He quickly completed the credits required for university graduation and applied for early graduation.

But there is no record of where his tuition came from.

After investigation, they found that Rin Shakuha had no signs of working, and the amount in the bank card left for him by the Suzuki family had never changed.

In the public security system, Lin Chiyu obtained a gun license through legal channels.

But they couldn't find out when this happened.

In other words, there was a hand that could avoid Rei's eyes and help him from behind.

He extremely suspected whether Rinshakuha had had contact with the Fujiwara family during the years he stayed in Kyoto, but there was no way to confirm it.

Besides, even if he had contact with the Fujiwara family, it was hard to imagine that the Fujiwara family would help him.

His last name is Rin.

Amuro Toru was thinking like a flash, while Rin Shakuha got out of the car, held the door open, and asked Mifune Takuya, "What's going on?"

After calling the police, Mifune Takuya stared at Amuro Toru closely, fearing that he might do something dangerous. When he heard Rin Chiha calling him, he immediately retreated to his sports car: "Someone's been killed in front!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chiyu walked forward and saw the corpse as expected.

Da da da.

There were chaotic footsteps. Rin Shakuha and Amuro Toru looked over and saw three men, two adults and one child, running out of an okonomiyaki shop on the roadside, staring at the miserable corpse with wide eyes.

"Mr. Maori and Hattori?" Rin Shakuha raised an eyebrow, "What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence! Have you called the police?" Uncle Maori was speechless by this coincidence and took out his cell phone to make a call.

"I've already called." Takuya Mifune came over and showed his cell phone.

"So what happened here?" Hattori Heiji was already squatting beside the corpse. He suspiciously took a picture of the rope tied around the corpse's waist, then turned around and asked.

Amuro Toru found an opportunity and quickly explained the situation to prevent himself from being inexplicably accused of being the cause of the accident: "I was driving normally when this person fell from the sky and hit the front of my car, and then I was knocked out."

"Based on his position at the time, he fell from the roof of the building where the store you came out of is located."

"So, you are the first person to discover this case." Hattori Heiji has quite naturally regarded this incident as a case.

Uncle Maori walked up to Amuro Toru, looked at his unique blond hair carefully, and suddenly realized: "I remember now, you are the detective who stole my limelight last time!"

Amuro Toru smiled and handed over his business card: "I do run an office, you can call me Amuro."

Amuro?

Conan retrieved the key words, and related memories quickly reappeared in his mind.

Isn’t that the detective who solved the case in seconds that Chiyo mentioned at the Beika Restaurant?

Blonde hair, dark skin...

He quietly approached Toru Amuro's feet and confirmed these features.

Yeah, right.

"Instead of reminiscing about the past here, I think it would be better to take a look at the condition of the body first." Rin Chiyu looked at his watch, walked past a few people, and squatted next to Hattori Heiji.

“No one probably wants to waste too much time here.”

"That's true." Amuro Toru chuckled.

"Judging from the degree of rigor mortis, the time of death must have been more than a day. At least you don't have to worry about being sent to prison." Lin Chiyu pinched the corpse's forearm and glanced at him.

"Looks like we can save the money on hiring a lawyer." Toru Amuro made a small joke.

"But the body is in such a damaged state that it's hard to find any useful clues..." Hattori Heiji fiddled with the joints of the body with regret. It fell from such a high place and was hit so far by a car.

"What is this?" He turned the dead man's shoulder and his eyes suddenly focused.

Hearing him say this, Kogoro Mouri hurried forward to help, and turned the body over as quietly as possible so that it was facing upwards.

The corpse had a terrified expression and was staring at the sky with its eyes open, which looked extremely creepy.

And in his heart, a fruit knife was stuck straight.

As if due to the second collision, the knife turned clockwise and left a bloody crescent mark on the chest of the deceased.

"Hiss... so cruel." Kogoro Mouri's eyelids twitched.

A few people were still wondering whether the knife mark was made by the murderer or caused by the fall. Mifune Takuya looked up and pointed at the roof and shouted at them: "Hey, look, there seems to be someone upstairs!"

A few people looked in the direction he pointed, and actually saw a vague shadow lying on the edge of the rooftop looking at them.

"Damn it, you killed someone and still dare to stay at the scene?!" Kogoro Mouri was furious. He picked up his feet and ran upstairs, as if he was going to catch him.

Conan laughed in his heart, this person has been dead for almost a day, no matter how you think about it, the person upstairs can't be the murderer.

But it's at least a clue, so let the uncle deal with it alone.

Obviously, the other people's reasoning abilities were not bad either, and they all thought of this point, so only Kogoro Mori rushed forward, and the rest of them stayed where they were, trying to find more clues from the body.

Soon, Kogoro Mori came out of the corridor escorting a man in high spirits. The man was still begging for mercy.

"I've already caught him. When will your Osaka police arrive?"

"No, brother, I really didn't do anything to kill anyone. Look how weak I am, how could I have the courage to do that!" The man he was pressing down was still a bald man, his legs were still shaking, and he shouted tremblingly.

"You've come just in time." Toru Amuro patted his pants and stood up, staring at the man sharply, with the aura of a superior suddenly revealed on him.

"Tell me what you did upstairs. Don't leave out any details."

The Mediterranean man swallowed and felt a huge sense of oppression.

"Yes, someone called and said there was a strange man on the rooftop and asked me to go up and take a look. I was afraid that someone wanted to commit suicide, so I decided to go up and check the situation."

He scratched his head. "As soon as I opened the door to the rooftop, I heard the sound of something hitting the ground. I thought I was too late and the person had already jumped down, so I leaned against the edge and looked down. After a while, he rushed up and pressed me to the ground."

As he said this, he glanced at Kogoro Mouri timidly.

"I think the body is probably hanging on the outer wall of the rooftop, and one end of the rope is hanging on the door handle of the rooftop. As long as someone turns the handle from that side, the rope will fall off, causing the body to fall from the building." Hattori Heiji guessed how the murderer controlled the fall of the body from just a few words.

Lin Chiyu gently lifted the pocket on the dead man's chest and said meaningfully: "And the knife pierced through the wallet in the dead man's pocket at the same time as it pierced his heart."

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment when he heard his words: "Brother Rin, you also know those cases..."

Rin Chiyu nodded.

"What on earth are you talking about?" Conan saw them talking in unison but he had no idea. He felt a little annoyed and stared at them with his half-moon eyes.

"I think they are talking about the recent serial murders that occurred in various places in Osaka." Amuro Toru explained to Conan with a smile. When he thought that this little brat was actually a high school student, his expression couldn't help but become weird.

"They all died of strangulation, and their killers often stabbed their wallets with knives and pierced their chests."

"Another ritualistic killing." Lin Chiyu gave a brief summary.

There were only so many clues that could be found on the body, and even fewer that could help identify the murderer. The other witnesses didn't see anything either. One day was enough to bury too many things.

Everyone's reasoning reached a bottleneck.

Just when they were at a loss of what to do, the young master Mifune Takuya came over and quietly pointed to the crowd outside and said, "Hey, don't you think that woman's reaction is too strange?"

Hearing this, Toru Amuro began to pay attention to the woman he pointed out. He pretended to look up at the rooftop, as if he was observing the scene, but in fact he was looking at the person through the rearview mirror of a car nearby.

But the woman with cold sweat on her forehead was very keen to notice that she was being spied on. She screamed excitedly, turned around and ran out of the crowd.

Amuro Toru was slightly stunned.

Have his detective skills deteriorated to this extent?

Or is that woman no ordinary person, possessing top-notch anti-reconnaissance skills?

However, after looking back, he understood the answer.

"Hey, wait a minute, that lady!" Hattori Heiji stretched out his hand and shouted loudly, intending to keep her.

Conan also quickened his pace and chased after him.

The woman quickly got into the car parked on the side of the road, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

It turned out that someone had alerted the enemy, and Amuro Toru had the urge to cover his face and sigh.

Naturally, human legs cannot outrun wheels, and soon the two returned with regret.

"It's okay, I remembered her license plate number." Hattori Heiji comforted himself.

Tuk Tuk——

There was a dull sound of knocking on the car window. Toru Amuro gestured towards the back seat of his car, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.

Conan was attracted by the knocking sound and moved closer.

Was there another person in his car?

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he stared, he couldn't see through the car window with anti-peep film, and could only vaguely see the outline of a blurry figure.

The vehicle started.

"If you need anything else, you can call me." Toru Amuro said to the people outside the car, pointing to the business card he handed to them.

"Well, I have something urgent to do here, so I'll excuse myself first."

He quickly put the car in gear, walked around the body lying on the ground, and left the scene.

"That kid just now was terrible." Grenfiddich said suddenly.

Toru Amuro's heart skipped a beat. He knew about Kudo Shinichi's deeds. Could it be that Glenfiddich had guessed something?

"How?" was all he could say vaguely.

"He won't die." Grenfiddich's expression was serious, as if he was saying something that was the ultimate truth.

"what?"

"I used bombs on him twice and he was still alive and kicking. This is proof."

Toru Amuro felt like he had heard a cold joke, but he was still relieved when he confirmed that Kudo Shinichi's identity had not been exposed.

He didn't reply. He knew that the best way to deal with someone like Grenfidi was to ignore him.

As expected, Glenfiddich felt bored when he didn't get any feedback from him and changed the subject.

"The murderer in that case seems to be quite talented. Have you ever thought of bringing him into the organization?"

"It's not appropriate." Amuro Toru said concisely.

"Oh, so you know who the murderer is?"

"I found out about him while investigating Numabuchi's whereabouts. I just didn't expect him to commit a crime again today, and happen to be nearby."

"It's Bourbon after all, so why do you say it's inappropriate?"

Toru Amuro turned on the turn signal and turned cleanly into a mountain road.

"He is obsessed and too much into rituals. He subconsciously sees himself as the righteous party. Such a person cannot get along with the organization."
