Chapter 124 Another gambling dog
“The deceased Kenzo Hirota, 49 years old...”
The police officers from the search section surrounded the scene, and Masami Hirota who had fainted was driven away The ambulance that arrived took him to the hospital, and Conan and the others stayed at the scene as the first people to discover the body.
"How could this happen..." Watching Masami Hirota being carried into the ambulance, Mao Lilan grabbed her wrist tightly, her eyes filled with mist, "I finally found my father, but he was so miserable when I met him. The scene, Miss Masami..."
"Yesterday afternoon, we saw Mr. Hirota alive. Who would have thought that after just one night, we would be separated forever?" Mouri Kogoro Meiyuya. It's all depression, "Damn it, who did it..."
Staring at the policemen as they untied Hirota Kenzo's body from the chandelier, Conan held on to his cell phone and waited for Joker's response, his mind running rapidly as he analyzed it.
"The deceased was strangled to death and then hung here." After a brief on-site investigation, the Mu Mu Police Department has come to a preliminary conclusion, "The technique was very rough, and there were multiple cuts on the neck of the body. There were repeated strangulation marks, and there were obvious signs of struggle on the deceased. There were rope and cloth fragments in the fingernails... The murderer was very powerful, and he was guessed to be a strong adult male."
Adult male, strong. ...
There was a regular vibration from the phone. Conan raised his hand, saw the caller ID, quietly exited the door, and answered the phone in the corridor.
“Hey, joker.”
"It's me." Joker said in a low voice, dispelling the casualness in his voice. "Kenzo Hirota is dead. How did he die?"
"He was strangled and hung in the house. I think so, too, based on the police department's judgment." Conan, who had entered a crime-solving state, no longer sounded like a child. "Yesterday, the last time we saw him was at a convenience store near the apartment around 6 o'clock in the evening. Uncle Maoli checked the characteristics repeatedly before returning to the office. Do you think this has something to do with the organization? "
After a brief silence, joker asked: "Describe the situation in his room. , where is Hirota Masami? Are you still here?”
“The room is very empty, with only a simple chair, coffee table and TV, and no decorations can be seen. This is a small single apartment. , From the position I observed, I can’t see any personal belongings. It’s very strange.” Holding the railing and looking down at the police car on the first floor, Conan could see the police officers questioning the tenants and the landlady on the first floor, and he thought about it. Asked a question, "According to you, he is a gambler with a lot of debt, so why does he rent an apartment in this area? It is close to the CBD office buildings. Small-sized apartments are very popular and the unit prices are high... Well, Ms. Hirota Masami was frightened and fainted after entering the room. She should be in Mihua Central Hospital now."
During the call, joker let out a particularly obvious sigh, and a long breath blew through the microphone. There was a trace of noise.
"Trouble, it seems to be an organized effort. Little detective, don't contact me for the time being, I have to deal with the problem. Hirota Masami, have you taken any preventive measures?"
"Yes. Conan's answer did not surprise Karasawa, "I attached a transmitter to Ms. Hirota Masami. My original intention was to listen to the conversation between her and Hirota Kenzo after they met... Now, it may not mean much anymore." "
"How could it be?" Joker chuckled twice, "I want to thank you for your caution...catch the murderer as soon as possible, I have my own things to do."
< br>Conan's heart sank after receiving the exact reply from joker.
He looked at Maori Lan, who looked out the window from time to time with a worried face, and Maori Kogoro, who had a serious look on his face and discussed the case with the Minggu Police Department.
If this case is related to the organization...should he warn Xiaolan and the others as Kudo Shinichi?
"...In other words, this person is the father your client is looking for." After asking them clearly the reasons for being at the scene, the Mumu Police Department touched his round chin, feeling a little worried, " So, what you know about his specific situation is limited to his name and occupation. Well, it seems that you have to ask the victim’s daughter Masami Hirota. Is it Takagi who followed him at the hospital? Please contact Takagi and ask. Ask Ms. Masami Hirota how she is? Are you awake and emotionally stable? "
The police officer standing by answered the call and dialed Takagi Wataru's phone.
Well, it seems that Xiaolan should be informed. Once Kenzo Hirota’s false identity is found out, it’s hard to say whether the forces behind him will be involved.
Observing their movements, Conan made up his mind, picked up the voice changer around his neck, and prepared to go to the uninhabited corner of the stairs to give Xiaolan a call. "What? You said Masami Hirota disappeared while you were going to the doctor?!"
Conan turned around sharply and looked at the Memu Police Department who asked loudly.
"Hurry up and send someone to find her! The murderer has not been caught yet, she is in danger now!"

In each machine, there are rustling sounds. The noisy rolling balls collided and rolled in the dazzling light, and together with the people sitting in front of the machine, either shouting loudly and beating hard, or remaining silent with desolate faces, they merged into a noisy and chaotic scene. As the pachinko shop door opens and closes, it falls into the ears of passers-by.
Miyano Akemi pushed up the sunglasses on her face, and her high heels clicked regularly on the tiles. She scanned the faces and quickly found her target.
"Kishui!" She stood behind the man, gritted her teeth and called out the man's name.
The tall man with his back to her showed no reaction. He just poured a few more steel balls into the entrance of the machine, turned the knob, and stared at the machine with flashing lights with his bloodshot eyes.
"Aki Hirota!" Miyano Akemi slapped the empty plastic basket away from his hand.
Shocked by her voice, he released the button too early. Kishui first watched the stalled marbles slide to the bottom, smacked his lips in regret, and then looked at Miyano Akemi reluctantly with a frown. .
"It's you..." Kishui rolled his eyes and stood up, ignoring the empty basket without marbles. "What's the matter?"
"Come here!" Miyano Akemi Looking at the noisy crowd around him, he endured a tug on his sleeve and said, "Come out and say..."
Kishii curled his lips, put his hands nonchalantly into his pockets, and followed up leisurely, stepping out and knocking on his high heels. Miyano Akemi, who was playing the sound, said casually and perfunctorily: "Yami, you are always so surprised. The task is right there, even if it is two days late..."
"You killed Bei Tsuka Shiro?" Standing outside the side door at the back of the store, Miyano Akemi could no longer suppress the anger and fear in her heart, and asked sternly, "Why didn't you inform me first if you found him?"
As soon as she walked into the empty apartment, Miyano Akemi understood everything.
Shirou Kaizuka took away all the cash that the three of them had stolen. It was enough money to fit in six or seven large suitcases, and because it was robbed from a bank, all of it was new money with serial numbers. In such a short period of time, it was impossible for him to launder this batch of money, and he did not dare to store the banknotes with recorded serial numbers. He could only keep them as they were.
In such a small apartment, no matter how hard he hides it, he has no place to hide so many boxes, and the only person who comes here for the money, besides her, is Kishui.
"Tch..." Kishii put away the casual expression on his face, looked at the angry Miyano Akemi, and smiled maliciously, "You want to ask me where the money went? Huh, no. The woman I used..."
Miyano Akemi's face was livid, and her anger could not be concealed, but she was not surprised by Kishii's sudden change of attitude.
What credibility and moral character can these rotten gamblers have?
She closed her eyes, raised her right hand, and a small pistol slipped out of her cuff and fell into her hand.
Raising her hand and pointing directly at Kishui, she repeated: "I ask you, why didn't you notify me first when you found him?"
The company had a dinner and didn't come back until 8 o'clock, paralyzed< br>
