How Real Wine Became the Light of the Metropolitan Police - Chapter 83
“Conan! Are you okay? It’s not good to stay in the bathroom for too long.”
Maurilan knocked on the bathroom door again.
“Ah ah ah ah – it’s going to die!”
A familiar voice of an uncle floated in all the way from the door and hit the bathroom door.
After the wooden door of the bathroom was shaken twice, it made a loud noise.
“Dad, go to the office’s bathroom, Conan is still inside.”
“I can’t hold it anymore! Brat! Give you three seconds, and I’ll kick the door if you don’t come out!”
Maori Kogoro slammed the wooden door twice aggressively with a disheartened face.
hateful!
He only saw half of it!
Conan gritted his teeth, and reluctantly put the smartphone screen in his trouser pocket, and opened the wooden door pretending to be obedient.
Mouri Kogoro lifted Conan up like a radish, threw it outside, and ducked into the toilet.
It looks like the toilet can’t stay.
But he hasn’t figured out what the problem is with the monitoring, and it will take a while…
Conan’s eyes rolled around the room and landed on the currently empty bathroom.
He quickly ran back to the room, grabbed some clothes from the closet, and rushed to the bathroom.
“Eh. Is Conan taking a shower so early today?”
Mao Lilan, who happened to come out of the kitchen, looked at the closed bathroom door in surprise and tilted her head.
·
Police Department.
Matsuda rubbed his sore eyes, gritted his teeth and dragged the progress bar of the video back to when the deceased Keisuke Gono just appeared.
The purpose of his monitoring now is different from the initial blind scan.
The initial blind scan was just to grasp the general information in the shortest time, and now his primary purpose is to figure out how Xin Haikong was transported into Room 3109.
With this goal as a premise, the surveillance video clips he needs to observe can be greatly reduced.
Around 5:50 last night, Xin Haikongren was still in the apartment building, and it was impossible for him to arrive at the hotel before 6:00 including the time he was stunned and transferred.
The deceased Keisuke Gono entered room 3109 at 6:03.
Xin Haikong was only transported into the room after the deceased entered the room.
After dragging the video back to six o’clock, Matsuda not only did not speed up, but instead adjusted the speed of the video to 0.5 times.
Between six o’clock and eight o’clock when the body was found, this surveillance video must have been manipulated.
Since there is a problem, it will definitely leave traces of editing. As long as he is careful enough and patient enough, just like dismantling a bomb little by little, he will sooner or later find out where the edited place is.
·
Maori’s bathroom.
Conan turned on the shower and released water, making a huge sound of water; he moved a small stool and sat next to the bathtub, facing the large mirror on the dressing table.
He adjusted the surveillance video to the time the deceased entered at six o’clock, and began to look back at his normal speed.
Six ten. A guest dressed in yellow passes through this corridor and walks out of the camera from the lower right corner.
This should only be checked out guests.
Six twenty-five. A woman in a blue dress walks into the camera from the lower right corner and goes straight to room 3110.
This is the guest who lives next door to room 3109.
Six fifty-five. A staff member approached room 3109 with a cart.
But he opened the door of room 3108 opposite.
Should just be the service staff who went in to clean up.
but…
On the screen, a man in gray overalls and a black cap pushes a cart into the room.
Conan’s eyes unconsciously focused on the cart.
In fact, this cart should fit an adult man.
But he entered room 3108.
Conan continued to look down, seeing footage of themselves appearing along the way.
He raised his head in disappointment, and hammered his aching shoulder and neck with his right hand.
This kind of feeling is not very good. He clearly knows that there is a problem with the monitoring, but he can’t see where the problem is.
He had been watching the video for a long time, and 20 minutes after entering the bathroom, he turned off the shower.
The dense steam makes it warm and soft here.
If she stayed any longer, Xiaolan would definitely find out that something was wrong and she had to go out.
He stood up from the small bench and wandered around the bathroom unconsciously with his stray eyes.
The large mirror on the washbasin was completely obscured by the mist, and it reflected Conan’s image vaguely.
and many more!
Conan’s eyes refocused, and he looked at the glass without moving, and a flash of light flashed across his mind in an instant.
Mirror.
At the same time, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Matsuda paused the picture, and a strange picture appeared on the screen in front of him.
Got it! where the clip is.
A smile finally appeared on his face that had been expressionless, and he stood up from the chair with completely stiff legs.
Xin Haikong is innocent!
In the bathroom, Conan jumped up from the small bench and watched the video again with his phone.
That’s right, it’s here.
Xinhai police officer is innocent!
He rushed out of the bathroom like a cannonball, passed the doubtful Maori Lan in the kitchen, and opened the door of Maori’s house.
“Conan – where are you going!”
“Sister Xiaolan, I’m going out to play with Yuan Tai and the others!”
A childish voice came from downstairs, and Conan had already run out of the building.
With his current status, it is difficult to interject in the case of the new sea police officer, and he can only ask Mr. Amuro to convey the truth of the matter.
Although I don’t know why Mr. Amuro suspected Police Officer Shinkai before, but as long as the truth of the matter is revealed, Mr. Amuro will definitely help Officer Shinkai.
·
The living room, with the heavy curtains drawn, looked dark.
The scorching light of the afternoon was blocked, leaving only the dense moisture.
The owner’s clothes were still piled on the off-white sofa, but the owner had not returned overnight.
The blond young man sat on the sofa, rested his head on the pillow behind the sofa, and covered his eyes with his arms.
Countless thoughts were intertwined in his mind repeatedly, as if a thousand needles were stirring in his mind.
Rum’s sudden assignment to him disrupted all his plans and inferences.
Everything is not right.
Rum has been in the organization for so many years, even if he has not met M, he must know something about him. Why is he so certain that there is a hostile relationship between Xin Haikong and M?
It was only possible that he had seen with his own eyes, or had heard with his own ears the case that M made against Xin Haikong.
M is from the gin side, and doesn’t have much interaction with Rum on weekdays. Even so, Rum understands M’s target for the new sea and sky, which shows how exaggerated and how open the target is.
From the very beginning, the reason why he suspected that Xin Haikong was equal to M was only based on the high coincidence rate of Xin Haikong and M in the case.
M created seven cases before and after, and Xin Haikong just appeared in each case. It’s hard not to think of him as the mastermind behind the scenes.
But in fact, a person appears repeatedly in a series of cases, and it is not the only possibility that he is the murderer.
In addition to the murderer himself, the victim will also appear in the case.
Where there is a murderer, there is a dead man, as always.
If according to the idea given by Rum, M stared at Xin Haikong and played him around, it is easy to draw this conclusion—
Xin Haikong is not the maker of that series of cases, the truth of the matter is just the opposite, that series of cases is exactly what M has laid out against Xin Haikong.
The test made with bombs on the Shinkansen, in the Tokyo Tower kidnapping case, Xin Haikong came to the scene full of bombs alone, the leaked information in the Hakuma group incident, the kidnapping with strong direction after the event, the Eight Hundred Eight Bridges In the serial murder case, they cut off their last clue, and in the case of the Stone of Life, killed the owner of the gem in front of Xin Haikong.
This is a threat, a provocation, a sharp-edged danger, a framed accusation pulled into the quagmire.
It is the darkness that uses its own body to infect the light little by little.
Before he knew it, M had already been eyeing the younger generation.
The younger generation is the innocent victim who bears it all alone.
The raised arm slipped down unconsciously, and the five fingers were tightly clasped together.
His heart was suddenly seized by an unspeakable emotion, and the guilt and panic that spread over him drowned his whole being little by little.
He lost the ability to breathe several times, until his face was flushed and he couldn’t breathe, and then he reluctantly relied on his physiological response to breathe again.
So what did he do?
What did he do when the younger generation was framed, misunderstood, pulled into the quagmire, looked at him with the last glimmer of hope, and reached out to him?
Not only did he fail to hold that hand in time, he pushed him deeper and farther.
What the **** did he do!
Thinking about it carefully, he was not the only one who was played around by M.
How many times did the younger generation go to danger alone, and how many times hovered on the brink of death.
Why would he pour his anger on the younger generation who also suffered misfortune, and why would he cut off the trust between them and look at each other with suspicion.
The amber eyes of the black-haired youth slowly came to mind, and Toru Amuro sat up from the sofa and looked around the warm room.
When you look at it with skepticism, everything is wrong.
But when you change your mind, everything is different.
The plants on the window sill may have just been moved from the flower shop, but the younger generation who couldn’t take care of them well just raised the flowers to death.
The guitar hanging on the wall in the study is brand new, maybe it’s just that the younger generation suddenly wants to learn guitar.
The bookcase in the utility room is full of books, ranging from high school textbooks to college and civil service exam books, witnessing a teenager’s ordinary but full of enthusiasm and hope in the past ten years.
The refrigerator in the kitchen was empty, but there was still an entry-level cooking book on the cooking table.
what has he done…
With a little bit of information in his possession, he thought he was making unrealistic speculations about the identity of others, and aimed his gun at the younger generation who had always trusted him very much.
then…
After the kidnapping case, it was clearly he who took the initiative to confess his identity.
Obviously, in order to gain the trust of his juniors, he used Matsuda Jinping as a guise. He first asked the juniors to trust him, but now he turned his suspicions on the other side.
Too bad.
The blond youth stood up straight, his purple-gray eyes refocused on the plain vase in the closet.
At that time, he found the monitor on that vase. Now that I think about it, the monitor should have been installed by M.
You still have time.
The junior’s case has not yet been finalized.
Find a way to get the younger generation out of prison first!
Just as such a thought ignited, he turned around suddenly and went straight out of the house.
He had just closed the door of the junior’s house when he collided with Conan who came in a hurry.
·
detention center.
The black-haired youth sat cross-legged on the tatami, with a book of “The Little Prince” spread out on the small table in front of him.
This is a hardcover book. The publishing house specially invited some well-known illustrators in the industry to add cute and warm illustrations to this book.
On the open page, the little prince with a dark green scarf approached his rose, as if seeing him for the first time, as if he were parting.
Such books were not originally provided in the detention center, but the young prison guard on guard was a good talker and took the initiative to bring him books that could relieve his boredom.
Xin Haikong glanced sideways at the electronic clock outside, it was three o’clock in the afternoon.
He hated waiting, so he wished it would all be over sooner.
Matsuda Jinhei and Amuro Toru, which one will come first? Still… it won’t come.
The fingers tapped the table in a bored manner, and tapped out a little tune without any regularity.
“Da da da!”
A burst of rapid footsteps came from a distance, accompanied by the man’s panting voice.
The black-haired youth turned his head back in surprise, raised his smile and looked at the person who finally arrived.
The visitor was dressed in a black coat, his curly black short hair was a little messy, and there was still a bit of stubble on his chin.
But with a smug smile on his face, he looked extremely high-spirited.
“found it!”
Matsuda Jinhei leaned into the glass door and said loudly.
“What did you find? A clue?”
Xin Haikong got up and approached the glass door, stood quietly, and looked at Matsuda with a smile.
The young prison guard who was left far behind finally arrived at the scene and stood aside waiting for Matsuda’s visit.
“There is a problem with the surveillance video of the hotel. The content in the video seems to have been flipped from left to right. 6:03 is the time when the deceased entered the room. The whole surveillance video after 6:50 is reversed. 6:5 Fifteen minutes later, a waiter pushed a trolley into room 3108, but in fact he entered room 3109, which is the room where the deceased was!”
“You should have been transported into the scene by a trolley at that time. After the murderer finished killing people, he calmly pushed the empty trolley and left the scene.”
The black-haired youth pressed his hand on the door excitedly and said, “I knew that the surveillance video must have been manipulated! After that? What the police saw, after entering room 3109 wearing a snow-white sports suit at seven o’clock, What about the person who never came out? Is that the case too?”
Matsuda nodded, his dark eyes glowing.
“That’s right, the 20-minute surveillance video from 6:50 to 7:10 was flipped left and right. The person who entered room 3109 wearing a snow-white tracksuit at seven o’clock actually didn’t enter 3109 at all. It’s room 3108 that no one has ever paid attention to.”
“I later rushed to the scene to investigate again. The window of No. 3109 is completely suspended, but the window of No. 3108 is facing the fire stairway outside the hotel. A strong adult can jump from the window to the safety stairs. Evacuate the scene!”
“I have made it clear to lawyer Fei Yingli about the specific matter. We are now investigating the cleaning staff of the hotel. You will be acquitted soon!”
Great, all in.
As expected of Matsuda Jinhei.
The black-haired youth smiled and frowned.
“It’s all up to you.”
·
“Mr. Amuro, I found out what’s wrong! Officer Shinkai is innocent!”
Conan just bumped into Amuro Toru, and excitedly pulled the hem of Amuro Toru’s clothes, and said anxiously.
“Where is the problem?”
Amuro Toru changed his previous attitude, knelt down on one knee, and asked anxiously in line with Conan’s height.
Conan hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the surveillance video and handed it to Toru Amuro.
“The deceased entered No. 3109 at six o’clock, and the mysterious man in the snow-white clothes entered No. 3109 at seven o’clock, and neither of them came out at the end. So everyone subconsciously assumed that the mysterious man in the snow-white clothes was the Xinhai police officer. But in fact the whole monitoring The video starts at 6:50 and is flipped left and right, and the room originally on the left becomes the right.”
“The house number can’t be seen clearly on the surveillance video!”
Amuro Toru keenly discovered this.
“Yes. So everyone will subconsciously follow the direction of the room in the real world to guess which room is in the surveillance video. The mysterious man in the white clothes who entered the room at seven o’clock did not enter room 3109, but 3108 opposite 3109. Room No. He did not enter the murder scene at all.”
“The murderer who actually entered room 3109, disguised as a housekeeper at 6:55, pushed a car into room 3108 on the video. In fact, after flipping it over, he entered room 3109.”
Conan swiped the progress bar with his hand to find the section where the cleaning staff entered room 3108.
“Look, this cart is big enough for an adult.”
“The cleaning staff entered room 3109 at 6:55, and did not leave room 3109 until 7:05. The murderer must have killed the deceased at this time, and arranged the killing scene.”
Toru Amuro understood instantly.
Very subtle means.
The murderer did not choose to replace the monitoring in a drastic manner, but generally chose the method of flipping the video left and right.
In this way, it is difficult for those watching the monitoring to detect subtle changes, and under the **** of habitual thinking, the room on the video corresponds to the real room from beginning to end, thus completing this set of It’s called magical replacement.
And this replacement is not a single person’s action. It is impossible for the white clothed disguised as Xin Haikong and the murderer who killed the dead to appear in the 3108 and 3109 spaces at the same time.
The mastermind behind it must have more than two people.
M wanted to kill Keisuke Gono, but he didn’t do it directly. Instead, he went around in a circle and blamed Xin Haikong for the murder.
Why did he do this, and what did M want to do to Xin Haikong?
Is M’s purpose just to send Shin Haikong to prison?
Suppose that in the past that he didn’t know, Xin Haikong did something that attracted M’s attention. Bombs, kidnappings, and repeated trials never directly killed Xin Haikong.
Rum wants him to bring Xin Haikong into the organization, will M have the same idea?
and many more!
With M’s strength, it was easy to recruit new people into the organization, but he chose two people, Hirohiko Yoshimura and Yuko Ninomiya.
The reason why Yoshimura Hirohiko joined the organization is because he wants to avenge his daughter and punish kidnappers who cannot be punished by law.
The reason why Yuko Ninomiya cooperated with M was to avenge her dead mother.
From the perspective of traditional morality, they are actually on the side of sympathy rather than imitation.
There are many loopholes in modern law, and if there are loopholes, there will be regrets. In most cases, only procedural justice can be maintained.
Procedural justice is of course the most important and should be observed justice under the current social conditions, but it cannot bring justice to everyone. In the corners that procedural justice cannot take care of, those with **** hands go unpunished, and those who are pure and innocent are forced to go to jail.
The values of M are just the opposite.
He seems to like the pursuit of justice with results. As long as the good people get a good ending and the sinful people get retribution, he doesn’t care what method is used in the process.
Therefore, rather than saying that M chose the two individuals, Hirohiko Yoshimura and Yuko Ninomiya, it would be better to say that he was simply maintaining a kind of “justice” in his mind from beginning to end.
So what about Xinhaikong?
M created an unsolved murder case, framed Xin Haikong as a murderer, and achieved a situation where innocent people were arrested and imprisoned.
M, who stands on the stand of justice of results, why should he treat Xin Haikong like this?
Why put the things you hate the most on Xin Haikong?
Xin Haikong, who was betrayed and accused in this way, is like Hirohiko Yoshimura who was isolated and helpless back then.
Rum wanted him to bring Xin Haikong into the organization, and his words were: “It’s better not to let M get the first.”
!
Keisuke Gono is just a by-product, M’s real goal is Shinkai!
“Whoo-hoo-“
The phone in Conan’s hand suddenly vibrated. He hurriedly answered the phone, put the phone close to his ear, and a gentle female voice came from the opposite side:
“New One!”
It’s Xiaolan!
As Conan walked to the side of the corridor, he quickly switched the voice in his bow tie.
“Shinichi? Are you there?”
“Yes!” Finally switched over, Conan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Things are making progress! My mother told me that a police officer found out where the surveillance video was faked, and they are following this clue to investigate!”
“Really?” Conan answered excitedly.
He really did not expect that there are such powerful people in the police.
Amuro, who was standing outside the corridor, heard the sound and looked over, his eyes fell on the smile on Conan’s face, and he paused.
“It’s true, police officer Xinhai has been re-examined, and it seems that he is about to arrive at the Metropolitan Police Department. He will be able to come out smoothly. Xinyi, you can rest assured.”
Conan hung up Xiaolan’s phone, walked back to Amuro Toru, and told him what Xiaolan said on the phone as he walked.
“You mean… an officer has found out the truth of the matter?”
Amuro frowned, thinking for a moment.
It seemed that the police officers in the search section had finally played a role. Much better than before.
In this way, the younger generation should be able to get out of prison smoothly.
“Yes, Mr. Amuro, where shall we investigate next?”
“You said before that Xinhai’s blood test results don’t contain any hallucinogenic ingredients, right?”
Conan was a little confused when he heard the words, but nodded obediently.
The blond youth looked up and looked outside the corridor.
The sun in the distance was approaching the west, and the sky was a brilliant golden color.
Even if the police get clues, they can only investigate the security personnel and staff of the hotel. The surveillance video can only prove that Xin Haikong did not actively enter room 3109, but the real murderer could not be found.
The younger generation was clearly dazed, but there was no hallucinogenic ingredient in the body, and the other party must be using the medicine developed by the organization itself.
Why is M so targeted at the new sea and air? Does he also want to rebel against Shinkai, who was framed and imprisoned, like Hirohiko Fangmura did?
Now that the frame is unsuccessful, what will M do? Did you watch them rescue Xin Haikong?
“Whoo-hoo-“
The phone in his pocket vibrated, interrupting Amuro Toru’s thoughts.
He turned on his phone, and it was an email from Rum to him.
There are only a few short words on it—
[Forgot to add, if you can’t get it, kill him before M. ]
The smartphone fell on the floor tiles of the corridor, and the glass screen was smashed into cobweb-like cracks.
The blond young man bent over eagerly and grabbed Conan’s shoulder, so strong that Conan couldn’t help groaning.
“You just said that Xin Haikong was arraigned? Is he not in the detention center now?”
Conan’s eyes widened, his face very puzzled.
“Officer Xinhai has been arraigned. Of course, he is not in the detention center. He should be at the Metropolitan Police Department soon.”
Oops!
The blond-haired youth turned and ran, ignoring the mobile phone on the ground.
“Mr. Amuro—”
Conan stared blankly at Amuro Toru’s back, squatted down and picked up the other party’s phone.
I don’t even have my phone, what happened?
