Chapter 73 Police Officers Are Also Very Hardworking
"Mr. Masuo, you've really worked hard!" Sato Miwako said with a smile, handcuffing Masuo Keizo's other hand as well.
"This Police Officer, you, you are..." Masuo Keizo looked blank.
Who is he?
Where is he?
What's going on?
Sato Miwako's smile disappeared, and she said sternly, "Mr. Masuo Keizo, I am now arresting you on the charge of conspiring with others to rob a bank!"
Masuo Keizo's heart skipped a beat, "What robbery? Police Officer, the bank I'm in charge of was robbed, I'm the victim!"
Sato Miwako said, "Mr. Masuo, your excuses are useless. Your companions have already confessed everything and provided a Phone Recording of your call with him. The motive is also very clear. In the Phone Recording, you said yourself that you conspired with others to rob the bank you are in charge of, all for your wife who spends money like water."
"I see," Haibara Ai muttered to herself, "Before, Police Officer Sato said it would be better for Mr. Masuo to come alone, and also said that after today, Mrs. Masuo wouldn't have to worry anymore, it's because the robbers have already been caught, and the Police were waiting for another accomplice to deliver himself to their door..."
"Uncle, you're really stupid," Genta said disdainfully, "Actually delivering yourself to their door!"
Panicked Masuo Keizo: "..."
Even adding insult to injury, that little Fat Person Disguise is going too far!
"Police Officer Sato is amazing!" Ayumi said admiringly.
Mitsuhiko thoughtfully said, "So Police work is this easy..."
"It's not that easy!" Sato Miwako waved her hand to refute, "We interrogated more than ten criminals this morning, and some of them still need to have their identities confirmed. If it weren't for some Criminal Evidence being delivered... cough, anyway, the Interrogation Rooms are all full now. When we got this Clue, Mr. Masuo had already left Home, so I could only wait here first. In addition, there are two other Police Officers rushing over and lying in ambush near his Home, just in case Mr. Masuo received News and ran away. So, Police work is not that easy."
Masuo Keizo: "..."
It really is hard work, to catch him, they even have people lying in ambush...
Ayumi pondered, "Although I don't really understand, it seems like it's very hard work..."
Conan chuckled dryly in his heart. Before, he wasn't sure, but now it seems, July really did catch a lot of criminals and send them over.
Saying the Police are hardworking, it's actually already easy for them.
But then again, that robbery case three days ago, even the Police hadn't investigated it clearly. It's estimated that the Wanted Order was only focused on collecting Clues and didn't announce Criminal Information at all.
Even criminals like this have been caught, and with Criminal Evidence attached, that Code Name July guy is a bit too terrifying, completely doing the investigation and catching people together...
"Alright, I'll go find an Office to use as a temporary Interrogation Room," Sato Miwako reached out and pressed Masuo Keizo's shoulder, "Takagi, you also find a Place to take a Written Statement!"
"Wait, wait!" Masuo Keizo's face turned pale in an instant.
When his Wife was taken hostage by the robbers, she recognized that the robbers were his Friend. He was afraid of being implicated, so he had already set up a Trap to kill his Wife.
But his matter has already been known by the Police, so there's no need to kill his Wife... No, wait, now it's probably too late, then he absolutely cannot say it!
If he doesn't say it, he might still be able to get away with an Alibi, as long as he prays that the Police don't see through his Method.
If he says it, and if the Police don't stop it in time, once that Trap Mechanism is triggered, he won't just be charged with robbery, he'll also have to add murder to the Criminal Charge...
"Mr. Masuo, is there anything else?" Sato Miwako asked.
Chi Feichi stared at Masuo Keizo, he also wanted to see if this man would give up on killing his Wife...
"No, no, nothing!" Masuo Keizo was covered in cold sweat, cannot say it, absolutely not...
"Make a Phone Call to Mrs. Masuo." Chi Feichi considered it and decided to give a reminder.
"Huh? Make a Phone Call to Mrs. Masuo?" Wataru Takagi didn't react, "Why?"
Conan's mind flashed, and his face changed drastically, "The robbers who took Mrs. Masuo hostage are Mr. Masuo's Friend, she might have already recognized them! If Mr. Masuo is worried about things being exposed, it's not impossible that he would harm Mrs. Masuo, or even kill her to silence her! Brother Chi, is that what you're thinking, right?"
Wataru Takagi scratched his head, "But now both criminals in the robbery case have already been caught, Mrs. Masuo shouldn't be in any danger, right..."
Masuo Keizo was sweating profusely, unable to say a word.
Sato Miwako noticed that Masuo Keizo was acting strangely and quickly shouted, "Takagi, make a Phone Call! Tell Mrs. Masuo to immediately go to Police Officer Tanaka who is lying in ambush near her Home, I'll contact Police Officer Tanaka right now!"
Wataru Takagi quickly turned around and used the Landline Phone on the Table to make a Phone Call, but no one answered on the other end.
Sato Miwako used her Mobile Phone to contact Police Officer Tanaka who was lying in ambush nearby, "Police Officer Tanaka, you go to Mamiya Family Home right now, Mrs. Masuo is probably in danger, hurry!"
Five minutes later, Sato Miwako's Mobile Phone rang.
"Hello..." Sato Miwako immediately answered, after listening to a few words from the other end, the anxious Emotion on her Face suddenly calmed down. Seeing others looking at her, she put down her Mobile Phone and shook her Head, "Mrs. Masuo was stabbed in the Heart by a Knife, she's already dead."
Masuo Keizo slumped to the ground, covering his Face with his handcuffed Hands, "I should have said it earlier, no, if I had known... if I had known it would be like this..."
Silence fell around, with a hint of oppression.
Conan quietly noticed Chi Feichi, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Although Hattori Heiji had previously suggested grabbing Chi Feichi's Leverage to exchange for the Video, he also thought it was a good idea, but he thought the difficulty was higher than getting the Storage Card.
As a Friend, he wouldn't use real Leverage to blackmail Chi Feichi, even if it was just to delete the Video, blackmailing is very hurtful to feelings. In the beginning, he just wanted to find something embarrassing about Chi Feichi, and jokingly exchange the Video back.
But Chi Feichi this guy is too calm, calm to the point of being like an Illness. Just like now, when everyone else has a heavy Face, Chi Feichi's expression and gaze haven't changed at all, still the same as usual, calm to the point of being almost indifferent.
Even earlier, he had seen another man who faced dead people with the same indifferent and calm Eyes, and that was the man called Gin!
He doesn't think Chi Feichi has Connection with that Organization, but it's said that Eyes are the windows to the soul, and the Emotion in the Eyes won't lie. He's worried whether Chi Feichi's abnormal Situation is a change in his Illness, or rather, he doesn't want his Friend to become like Gin...
Chi Feichi noticed Conan's gaze, and when he looked down, Conan had already withdrawn his gaze with a heavy Face.
Chi Feichi: "..."
Why does he have the feeling of being targeted by the Death God Elementary School Student again?
Conan: "..."
Sigh, these Friends around him really make people worry their hearts out...
"Takagi, you take them to take a Written Statement first," Sato Miwako said, breaking the silence, "The Home Delivery should have already been unpacked, others can free up their Hands to go to the Scene, I'll be responsible for interrogating Mr. Masuo."
"Okay!" Wataru Takagi responded, watching Sato Miwako leave, found an empty Office, and started taking a Written Statement.
The Junior Detective League children and Doctor Agasa can take a Written Statement together. They went to Blue Castle together, and the experiences in between were roughly the same. With Doctor Agasa accompanying them, the children's Written Statements can also be a little easier.
Chi Feichi lived in Blue Castle for a while, and there are still some things that need to be confirmed. Logically speaking, Chi Feichi's Written Statement should be taken separately, and then cross-referenced with the Junior Detective League's Written Statements, but there's no way...
Today, Police force is really not enough!
"Then children, please sit down for a while first," Wataru Takagi said after preparing the Recording equipment and sitting behind the Table, "Mr. Chi, regarding the case of Mutsumi Nishikawa's murder and Attempted Murder at Mamiya Family Castle, may I ask what Date you checked into Mamiya Family's Home?"
Chi Feichi recalled for a moment, the Date was below when Mamiya Mitsuru went to sign the discharge papers that day, "May 27th."
