Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 264 258. The Familiar First Victim

Inspector Megure did not tell Hayashi Ryoma about the shooting directly at the door of the operating room, but found an empty office.

There were only Inspector Megure and Hayashi Ryoma in the office.

After Lin Longma entered the office, he closed the door behind him and said to Officer Megure, "Okay, Officer Megure, there are only two of us here.

Why on earth was Ren Sanlang shot?"

"It's like this, Brother Shiratori has been on a surveillance mission recently. Today it's Brother Shiratori's turn to go out on a field mission.

While on the trail, Brother Shiratori witnessed a shooting case, and the victim was also a police officer from the Investigation Division.

Unfortunately, he was injured while independently pursuing the criminals. "

Lin Longma couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Didn't Ren Sanlang shoot when he was chasing the criminals?"

He was somewhat confused. If this was an organized operation, with all three magazines emptied, there would be no way the so-called criminals could escape.

Even if Shiratori is a police officer, the Tokyo police have more restrictions on firing guns, but Shiratori is definitely not the kind of person who would give up on his own because of fear of choking!
What's more, the criminals had already shot a Metropolitan Police Department detective, leaving him unknown whether he was dead or alive. Even if Shiratori emptied the magazine, it would be in compliance with regulations.

"The incident happened on a commercial street. Although it was raining, there were still many innocent people on the street. And Brother Shiratori's shooting skills are not very good."

Inspector Megure explained the situation at the scene to Hayashi Ryoma with a stern face. Usually, the results of White Bird's shooting practice at the shooting range were not so satisfactory.

Not to mention shooting at moving targets while on the move.

It's hard to say whether the murderer can be killed or not after this round of bullets, but it would be a big deal if a few innocent citizens were killed or injured.

As for Shiratori's serious injuries, Inspector Megure speculated that Shiratori should have been close to the fleeing murderer at that time.

In order to escape, the murderer shot and killed the second detective. Fortunately, Shiratori was lucky enough that although his injuries were serious, he did not die immediately.

Doctors at the Green Terrace Police Hospital are currently giving him emergency treatment. As for when the surgery will be completed.
There is no definite answer from the Green Stage Police Hospital either.

All I can say is try your best.

"By the way, President Lin. We learned from the police officer in the same group as Brother Shiratori that Officer Shiratori had visited you at your company not long ago.

Can you tell me what you talked about?"

Hayashi Ryoma knew that Inspector Megure asked this not because he doubted him, but because as someone who had recently come into contact with Shiratori, it was necessary for him to conduct an investigation after what happened to Shiratori.

The focus of the investigation by the First Investigation Division should be on the dead detective, and the murderer's target is obviously that detective.

As for Shiratori, it was purely bad luck, and Inspector Megure asked Hayashi Ryoma just as a formality.

He is indeed a grassroots cadre who is well versed in human relations, and the process is flawless.

Officer Megure asked, and Hayashi Ryoma did not hide anything and immediately told Shiratori the purpose of his visit:
“It was Ren Saburo who asked me to help investigate the situation of the Kudo family. He suspected that Kudo Shinichi was not missing.

Or there is still a connection between Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Shinichi, and Kudo Yusaku is making a false police report."

"In addition, Ren Saburo also suspected that the reason why Kudo Shinichi had not shown up and hidden himself might be related to the criminal intermediary company he was investigating."

Hayashi Ryoma mentioned the crime agency, Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Shinichi, which made Inspector Megure subconsciously perk up.

"Brother Shiratori has been full of energy since returning from President Lin's place. It seems that President Lin has helped Brother Shiratori a lot?"

"It's not a big help." Lin Longma said modestly: "At most, it's just helping to the best of my ability. I happened to meet Kudo Yusaku and Conan during an incident that day. I found that Kudo Yusaku didn't seem to be anxious or anxious about his son's disappearance or possible death."

Hayashi Ryoma briefly told Inspector Megure about the incident involving the newly named Rentaro and Kudo Yusaku's behavior in the suite.

Now even Inspector Megure thought that what Hayashi Ryoma said was correct - maybe Kudo Yusaku really made a false report this time.

Even if he knew that Yusaku Kudo had made a false police report, what could he do? Inspector Megure couldn't go to Kudo's house to question Yusaku Kudo.

In fact, Inspector Megure's best choice in this matter is to pretend to be confused. Having always been at the grassroots level, Inspector Megure has become a master at pretending to be confused at some point in time.

Furthermore, the focus of the investigation of the First Investigation Division should now be on the murderer who attacked the detective. As for Kudo Yusaku, it is better to wait until Shiratori recovers and deal with it himself.

Kudo Yusaku has developed a lot of connections in the Metropolitan Police Department over the years, and Shiratori also has someone supporting him behind the scenes.

In short, this is a situation of two great gods fighting each other. It is better for Inspector Megure, an ordinary grassroots cadre in the police force with no background or origin, to stay away from it.

If they get too close, it would be bad if the fight between the great gods affected "little monsters" like them.

Hayashi Ryoma expressed his understanding of Inspector Megure's attitude of not wanting to dig deeper into Kudo Yusaku, and considerately changed the subject.

"By the way, the first detective who was shot, is he okay?"

"Not very good." Officer Megure sighed solemnly, "When the ambulance arrived, Officer Narasawa was already dead.

Before he died, he left a death message. "

"Wait, Officer Narasawa?" Lin Longma was stunned. He had only heard of this surname not long ago.

His last name is Nara, and he's a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, could it be him?

"Officer Narasawaji, do you know President Lin?" Officer Megure asked curiously.

"No, I don't know this officer. By the way, what is the death message left by Officer Narasawa?"

Hearing Lin Longma's question, Inspector Megure immediately made a move. One hand stretched out and tightly grasped his chest, and his mouth opened in vain but no sound came out.

"Heart? Heart?" Seeing Inspector Megure's actions, Hayashi Ryoma responded subconsciously.

"Heart? Why is it the heart?" Officer Megure was stunned, then asked quickly.

Lin Longma was a little puzzled: "Officer Megure, isn't the place you are holding the heart?

Do you have different interpretations of the news of Officer Narasawa's death?"

Officer Megure nodded solemnly: "Yes, we have always believed that what Officer Narasawa wanted to express was his detective manual."

"Generally, criminal police officers will put their criminal police manuals in the inner pocket of their coats so that they can easily access them when they need to record something.

Like this. "

Inspector Megure reached into the inside pocket of his windbreaker and took out his police handbook.

"But if Officer Narasawa wanted to hint at the detective manual, why didn't he just put his hand inside his bosom?
I know that Officer Narasawa was not in a good condition at the time, but this should be a clearer direction, right? "
