Chapter 298 Investigation (22)

The next day.

The morning light outside the window penetrated into Akai Shuichi's room through the gaps in the curtains.

But he still maintained the posture of sitting in front of the computer, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, his fingers moving quickly on the keyboard.

The chirping of birds echoed outside the window.

The difference from a few minutes ago was that the only sound in the room was the clacking of keyboard typing.

Shuichi Akai sat in front of the computer all night.

He spent an entire night watching all the surveillance videos at Tokyo Big Sight that he had received from Rena Mizunashi.

Obviously, the organization is not just talking about tracking down Kaito Kidd.

The organization has obtained surveillance footage from the exhibition venue and has begun an investigation.

After checking the surveillance video inside the Tokyo Big Sight, Shuichi Akai discovered that there were quite a lot of deleted parts in the surveillance video.

All the deleted surveillance videos were from the afternoon of that day.

Most of the parts involving Kaito Kidd were deleted.

The last time Kaito Kidd appeared in the video was when he suddenly broke through the glass and flew out from the roof.

Other than that, there's nothing strange about the video.

After repeatedly studying the contents of the surveillance video, Shuichi Akai did not find any other abnormal behavior of Kaito Kid.

At the same time, Shuichi Akai did not forget to look for traces of Akikawa Sousuke in the video.

However, the parts of the surveillance footage related to Akikawa Sosuke were quite normal.

Originally, because there was a live broadcast camera installed in front of the stage in area B, there was no camera facing the stage.

In the surveillance video, when Akikawa Sosuke first appeared in the afternoon, he came out of the lounge after lunch break and came to the stage with the guests on the scene.

The second time he was captured by the camera was when Akikawa Sosuke left the stage.

Afterwards, Akikawa Sosuke left the exhibition venue just as the surveillance video showed, after leaving the stage.

The surveillance video was only shot within the exhibition venue, so Shuichi Akai had no idea where Akikawa Sousuke went afterwards.

After watching this set of videos, no matter how you think about it, it seems that Kaito Kid deleted the video evidence of his own crime.

It has nothing to do with Akikawa Sousuke or anyone else.

however.

This is just the subconscious thought of ordinary people.

At least Shuichi Akai knew that it was entirely possible that Akikawa Sorasuke would return to the scene after leaving the venue.

After all, the monitoring room had been controlled by Kaito Kid a long time ago, and anyone who entered the monitoring room could delete the surveillance video.

Shuichi Akai didn't know where Akikawa Sousuke went after leaving the venue.

However, his suspicion towards Akikawa Sosuke did not diminish much.

After investigating all night, Shuichi Akai did not find any other strange clues.

Naturally, Shuichi Akai's investigation direction turned to Akikawa Sorasuke again.

'Most of the surveillance videos about Kaito Kidd have been deleted. It seems that Kaito Kidd operated the surveillance software.'

'But there is another possibility that the person who operated the surveillance software deleted all the surveillance videos of Kaito Kid in order to mislead those who checked the surveillance later.'

'On the surface, it was Kaito Kid who stole something and then deleted his own surveillance video.'

"In fact, someone else deleted the surveillance video of Kaito Kid in order to mislead the people who were viewing the surveillance video."

Kaito Kidd appears very frequently in surveillance videos.

Countless surveillance videos were deleted, making it difficult to verify whether Shuichi Akai's guess was correct.

Shuichi Akai did not have a thorough understanding of the situation inside the venue that day.

He couldn't just rely on this surveillance to conclude that there was something wrong with Akikawa Sosuke. So he waited until about eight in the morning, and after confirming that Conan should have gotten up and gone to school, he took out his cell phone and called Conan.

"It's Subaru-san, what's going on?"

After seeing the name of the caller, Conan quickly avoided the people around him and hid aside and said.

He knew that Shuichi Akai would not contact him easily.

If so, it must be something very important.

"Boy, can you still recall the route that Kaito Kid took inside the venue?"

"Hey, why are you suddenly curious about this, Subaru-san?"

"I am also somewhat concerned about this case."

Akai Shuichi said.

"I want you to give me the full account."

After hearing this, Conan briefly recalled the whole story and started to recount the first time Kaito Kidd appeared in the exhibition hall of Scarlet Heart and was grabbed by Sera Masumi by the shoulder.

The security personnel at the scene recounted the entire process of Kaito Kid breaking through the glass and leaving.

Conan has an excellent memory, so he didn't have to spend much effort when recalling.

Although Kaito Kidd disguised himself as other people, there are some parts of his action route that are uncertain.

But Conan was still able to judge what Kaito Kid had done and where he moved from and to by the locations where he disappeared and reappeared before and after his disguise.

Shuichi Akai listened and took notes in his notebook.

soon.

By the time Conan finished his retelling, the video of Kaito Kid's actions was clearly displayed on the notebook.

"Thank you, kid."

After finishing the record, Shuichi Akai thanked Conan.

"It's fine."

Conan said he didn't mind.

Anyway, these things don't involve any privacy. If Shuichi Akai can find out something from them, that would be a good thing.

"Boy, do you know what Zhenchun has been doing recently?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't had any contact with Ms. Sera since the incident at Tokyo Big Sight."

"But every day after school, Xiaolan would chat with Miss Sera in their group, so I guess Miss Sera is just enjoying school life normally."

"Ok."

After asking this question, Shuichi Akai hung up the phone.

He looked down at the records in his notebook, which clearly recorded all of Kaito Kidd's actions and locations according to the timeline.

Shuichi Akai spent another morning comparing the edited parts of the surveillance video with the actions of Kaito Kid.

After doing all these things, Shuichi Akai discovered that a part of the surveillance video that obviously did not include Kaito Kid had been deleted.

This part happens to be the surveillance video from the entrance and exit outside Venue B to the monitoring room.

This also means that except for the part where Kaito Kidd takes action.

Someone also deleted a section of surveillance footage from several cameras from the entrance of Venue B to the monitoring room.

In this situation.

Either there was someone new coming in from outside who went directly into the monitoring room and deleted the surveillance video of Kaito Kid and himself.

Or, someone left the venue and then returned to it.
