After receiving orders from Uno Tadayoshi, Megure Police Department and Aoki Song returned to the Metropolitan Police Department and called people from the third department to the conference room for a meeting.

Except for Shiratori Rensaburo and Takagi Nagasuke who reinterrogated Teraoka Katsutoshi in the interrogation room, other criminals from the three departments were present.

After the Mumu Police Department had someone close the door of the conference room, they told the others the suspicious points that Aoki Song had just discovered.

This naturally caused a lot of noise. As a criminal, no one would want to see a rat droppings appear in their team.

After seeing that the emotions of the subordinates were almost expressed, the Mumu Police Department silenced everyone and began to arrange tasks.

We need to investigate Matsuyama's murder, the relationship between Matsuyama and Teraoka Katsutoshi, which violent organization Matsuyama belongs to, and what the other party is.

Moreover, after being reminded by Aoki Song, all the financial dealings between Matsuyama and Katsutoshi Teraoka, and even the financial income of Teraoka Katsutoshi, etc., need to be investigated.

In fact, Aoki Song also wanted to suggest searching Teraoka Katsutoshi's house, but thinking that just one doubt and Conan's testimony were not enough to kill Teraoka Katsutoshi.

Especially since Conan is still a little kid, the testimony of a child in Neon country can be used as a direction for police investigation, but it cannot be used as evidence to try the opponent in court. In addition, Teraoka Katsutoshi's special status, I thought about it.

I think Aoki Song didn't say this proposal out loud.

After all, Aoki Song is also a criminal now. When you encounter criminal-related matters, if you find suspicious investigators and deliberately target them, it will give others a completely different feeling.

What Mouri Kogoro asked Aoki Song before also reminded Aoki Song that no one in this world is a fool. Moori Kogoro can understand the meaning of his words, and others may not be able to.

It was only because his boss was the Megure Police Department, a man who seemed incompetent but righteous and would definitely not collude with people like Katsutoshi Teraoka, that Aoki Song dared to tell him everything.

After arranging the tasks, all the criminals from the three departments walked out of the conference room with solemn faces and went about their business.

Aoki Song did not leave, and sat in the conference room with Megure Police Department, waiting for Shiratori Rensaburo's interrogation of Teraoka Katsutoshi's confession that finally came down to black and white on the paper, while also talking about this matter.

"Aoki, do you think Teraoka Police Department will be the murderer in this case?" Megure Police Department asked with a very ugly look on his face.

It sounded like the Megure Police Department still didn't believe this kind of thing, but Aoki Song knew that the Megure Police Department was actually asking him about his confidence in solving the case.

After thinking about it, Aoki Song shook his head and said: "I'm not sure either. I discovered something when I was at the scene just now, and I thought Teraoka Police Department was suspicious. But I carefully recalled the testimonies of Teraoka Police Department and Uncle Maori, and found that

It’s a problem we ignored.”

The Mumu Police Department was shocked when they heard this and quickly said: "What's the problem?"

"That's all the information we have now. It was said by one person from the Teraoka Police Department. The only thing that is certain is that Matsuyama did kill someone yesterday. The rest is all information revealed by the Teraoka Police Department, including Uncle Maori.

Many of the words were revealed by the Teraoka Police Department," Aoki Song said.

"You mean, the Teraoka Police Department is very likely to lie here!"

Aoki Song nodded, "His relationship with Matsuyama, as well as Matsuyama's desire to wash his hands in a golden basin, and the matter of his and Matsuyama's fight over the pistol's misfire. Matsuyama died, and it was all him who had to deal with it. Who knows what's going on here?"

True or false.

And even if everything he tells is the truth, if there are some things that are not conducive to him, do you think he will tell the truth?"

Of course not!

Anyone who understands the spread of information news knows that third-rate media reports half-truth and half-false news, second-rate media reports half-truth and one half-false news, and first-rate media reports all true news, but only reports that are beneficial to themselves.

.

In addition, humans are living creatures, and every living thing has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so naturally it is impossible to say anything unfavorable to oneself.

The Mumu Police Department nodded slowly, that is indeed the case.

After seeing that the Megure Police Department agreed with his point of view, Aoki Song continued: "On the premise that the Teraoka Police Department lied, there are actually two possibilities. The first is that he killed someone to silence him. He either accepted Matsuyama's bribe, or

It was the reason why Matsuyama was caught.

The second is that there was actually another person at the scene at the time, and it was this person who killed Matsuyama, but for some reason the Teraoka Police Department let him go and then lied to us."

Without knowing the truth, the latter is not impossible.

There is a violent organization behind Matsuyama. Now it is obvious that Matsuyama wanted to escape after killing people.

As a violent organization, especially as a cadre, Matsuyama knew more or less about the organization's affairs.

This kind of organization may not be as awesome as a "winery", but the rules are similar. It's easy to join, but hard to quit.

Based on this thinking, it is not necessarily the violent organization that knew Matsuyama was going to run away and was worried that he would say something detrimental to the organization in the future, so it killed him.

Then Teraoka Katsutoshi had a relationship with this organization and chose to protect the other party.

This guess is appropriate and reasonable.

Megure Police Department thought for a moment and nodded, "You're right. Although when Maori and the others ran over, they only saw Teraoka Police Department and Matsuyama who had fallen to the ground dead, but these were all the words of Teraoka Police Department himself.

The terrain at the dock warehouse is complicated and it is easy to hide a person."

As he spoke, the Mumu Police Department seemed to have thought of something, and stood up with a frightened expression: "I will immediately send someone to guard..."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Song immediately said: "Police Department, I asked Saito to lead people to guard the pier. You don't have to worry."

There is really no need to worry, because this is a wrong answer.

The Mumu Police Department breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. If the murderer escaped because the police had withdrawn their team early, the Mumu Police Department would never forgive themselves.

Although the level of reasoning and solving crimes is not high, the Mumu Police Department is still a very responsible person.

Seeing that the worried expression of the Megure Police Department disappeared from his face, Aoki Song was not the least bit embarrassed about scaring the Megure Police Department, because otherwise he would be able to investigate Teraoka Katsutoshi in such a high-profile manner.

In capitalist countries, bribery can be legal during general elections. One can imagine the hidden rules behind this.

Generally speaking, if something, especially a bad thing, is revealed, then it must be that you don’t know how bad it is secretly.

Of course, these things are not something a little guy like Aoki Song should worry about.

Not to say that everyone has shit on their butts, but there is more or less some gray income. A thorough investigation can definitely detect it, but the problem is that if you do a thorough investigation without a reasonable reason, you will be looked at by other people who have shit on their butts.

As your biggest enemy, you will be attacked in groups!

But as long as Teraoka Katsutoshi and violent organizations have private transactions, then...

After a thorough investigation, there will be no problem.

After all, although everyone has shit on their butts, under normal circumstances, the upper level trades with the Metropolitan Police Department as a whole, and then the upper level eats meat and the lower level drinks soup, and everyone can share some benefits.

Why is the welfare package of the Metropolitan Police Department so good?

Isn’t it true that the treatment of police departments in other places in Neon is not so good?

The reason is very simple. The Metropolitan Police Department receives many donations from wealthy people in Tokyo every year, and these donations are more or less enjoyed by all the police officers at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Because donations are settled at the end of each year. Since others are doing charity and good deeds, there cannot be any surplus. Wouldn't it be a waste of other people's good intentions?

Now you, Katsutoshi Teraoka, want to steal everyone's food rations and eat alone. If not, who will do it? I will definitely do it to you.

Maybe the reason is not as dark as Aoki Song thinks, but this is an old trick in capitalist countries, and the president can be crushed if he blocks his interests.

Don't underestimate Teraoka Katsutoshi's position. The leader of the Fourth Investigation Section is certainly not a big deal in the Metropolitan Police Department. There are many people higher than him. But in the front-line criminal investigation of violent organizations, he is the leader.

Because under normal circumstances, the section chief will not personally investigate the case, and it is even more unlikely for a police officer who is higher than the section chief. Everyone is responsible for remote control in the office.

Therefore, Katsutoshi Teraoka's position is simply a reflection of low status and power. For some small violent organizations, the information he revealed is very useful. It is really not a bragging for him to eat alone.

After all, no matter how nice the donation sounds, everyone knows what it is, so the amount donated each time is not very high. It’s just that there are many rich people who can’t afford to donate to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the total sum is a very considerable number.

If everyone followed Teraoka Katsutoshi's example, or if Teraoka Katsutoshi rose to a higher position and continued to eat alone, then...

Anyway, regardless of whether it is a conspiracy theory or not, and regardless of whether Aoki Song is overthinking, no matter what, we cannot leave others with the feeling that Aoki Song is actively fighting among himself.

Therefore, with these speculations and suspicions, no one can tell Aoki Song's fault in such an investigation direction, and it also lays the groundwork for the subsequent comparison of Mrs. Teraoka's fingerprints.

It’s impossible to believe Teraoka Katsutoshi’s words. The other person involved is dead, so if you don’t investigate things like interpersonal and economic transactions, what else can you investigate?

Not long after, Shiratori Rensaburo knocked on the door. After getting permission, he walked in and handed the two people the results of his interrogation of Teraoka Katsutoshi.

The Megure Police Department and Aoki Matsu took a quick look at it. It was roughly what Teraoka Katsutoshi said to the Megure Police Department when they were at the scene. There were only some minor differences in terms of sentences or descriptions, but this was not a problem.

Unless someone has a photographic memory like Conan, most people just say what they say. If you ask them to say it again a few minutes later, they won't say exactly the same thing.

With the confession written in black and white, as long as there are problems with their investigation results and Teraoka Katsutoshi's confession, it will mean that the other party is lying, and the investigation time can be delayed.

However, this case was not that complicated. Although Sato Miwako and the others had found something the next day, they could not turn it into evidence or a hammer.

But the results from the forensics department came out, and the results showed that the pistol did have the fingerprints of Katsutoshi Teraoka and Matsuyama, but what surprised and surprised the forensics class was that there was another person's fingerprints on the pistol.

As soon as this result came out, the Memu Police Department became convinced of Qingkisong's judgment - there might be a third person at the scene!

After receiving the results of the forensics class, the Megure Police Department immediately asked Shiratori Rensaburo and others to interrogate Teraoka Katsutoshi. He and Aoki Song observed Teraoka Katsutoshi's every move outside the interrogation room.

Teraoka Katsutoshi's actions were somewhat beyond the expectations of the Megure Police Department.

Originally, the Megure Police Department believed that relying on the fingerprints of a third person on the pistol would enable Katsutoshi Teraoka to confess honestly.

Here, the police department still has some illusions about Teraoka Katsutoshi - maybe Matsuyama was not killed by Teraoka Katsutoshi, but by a third person.

However, Teraoka Katsutoshi's expression surprised the Megure Police Department. Teraoka Katsutoshi denied the speculation that there was a third person at the scene and was very surprised that the third person's fingerprints appeared on the pistol.

After interrogating Teraoka Katsutoshi, several people sat in the small conference room for a meeting again.

"We have confirmed the case Matsuyama committed. He was a gambler who went to the casino. The time was around eight o'clock last night. However, the weapon Matsuyama used to commit the crime was not a pistol but a dagger." Sato Miwako shared the found information with everyone.

said.

Shiratori Rensaburo also talked about the results of the interrogation just now of Katsutoshi Teraoka.

Then Takagi Nagasuke talked about the contact between Teraoka Katsutoshi and the violent organization. The two parties did have some contact. Matsuyama was the liaison between Teraoka Katsutoshi and the violent organization. However, the violent organization flatly denied bribing Teraoka Katsutoshi.
