Conan: Silence in the Dark

"It's okay, I heard it's a big case. Maybe we'll find some clues, too. Xiao Jing's words can be regarded as exculpating Conan.

"Xiao Jing, forget it, it's good if this kid doesn't make trouble. Mori Kogoro said unhappily.

"Mr. Mori, it's hard to get you here early in the morning!Ah, you're here too, good morning, Jing, Conan. Takagi greeted him.

"Good morning*2".

"I heard that it was a case of serial murder in a wide area. "Kogoro Mori was called in as a special adviser to the search meeting.

"Yes, there was a murder on the toll highway in Odawara City the day before yesterday, and mahjong tiles were found at the scene. At the same time, there were five incidents of mahjong tiles being found at the scene, and there were also five cases in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, and Nagano prefectures. Sato, who came with Takagi, confirmed Kogoro's words.

"Anyway, let's talk about the details at the meeting. "

"That's right. "It's always bad to talk about a case outside, and Mori Kogoro followed Takagi away.

"Jing and Conan will have to wait. "

"Well, okay, Sister Sato. Xiao Jing gestured in understanding.

"Then I'll go too. Sato settled down Conan and Shizue went to the meeting.

"Okay, remember to recycle it later. Jing took out the headphones from her satchel and reminded Conan to remember to recycle the bugging device in the future.

"Uncle usually doesn't put anything in his outer pocket, so he won't be discovered. Conan also took out his headphones and put them on the back road.

"First of all, except for the common point of the previous cases in the sixth case, each case was stabbed with a large knife, judging from the wounds, it was formed by wielding the knife from top to bottom with the right hand. "It's Officer Shiratori who is in charge of explaining.

"And in these five cases, the victims were first kidnapped by Corona and then taken to the scene of the body to be killed. "

"Then in all six cases, mahjong tiles with red circular markings and letters and black vertical lines written on the back were found next to the bodies. "

"It is clear that this is a message left by the prisoner, one of the tubes is painted red, and the five seven cylinders are each painted red, and one hole is painted red, only the upper right hole and the lower left hole do not appear at the moment. "

"The letters have two A, E, H, and Z, judging from the murderer's other cards, and the remaining L, written backwards, is also deliberate. "

"Each of the six victims had their belongings taken from them. Chains, wallets, amulets, key chains, foundation boxes, mascot figures. "

"Finally, there is a key piece of information that the victim of the sixth case said before he died. "

"Tanabata, today. "

That's it, Xiao Jing had already determined her goal this time when she heard the amulet.

"Why did the prisoners kidnap and then move to another place to kill them?" Conan asked first after listening to the content of the meeting.

"Is there any hint that the prisoner wants to give us at the place where the victim died? Xiao Jing thought casually.

"Possibly, I'll have to check the specific location later. Conan agreed.

"Could it be ....." and Mori Kogoro, who was at the scene, reasoned whether it was just a dispute caused by simple mahjong, and of course it was not recognized.

"There are two more people, and my uncle should not be wrong about this, this is undoubtedly a serial murder case. However, everyone agrees with Mori Kogoro's reasoning that there should still be victims.

"Then you bet on the prestige of the police, we must stop the criminals! This time, we demand that all the information of everyone be made public, and we must arrest this serial murderer as soon as possible!"

"Yes!".

After a general discussion among the participants in the meeting, the search began in earnest.

"Uncle Matsumoto, long time no see, is Sayuri sister okay. After waiting for the people inside to come out, Xiao Jing looked at the front of the people.

"Ah, it's the daughter of the Maori family, my daughter is still the same. Matsumoto also said hello and left.

"Let's go too. "

Mori Kogoro sent Shizue to the library, because Shizu's request also gave a rough idea of the case by the way, after all, if Conan was going to intervene, Shizu needed a legal way to get in.

And so it went on for a week.

"This is the location and location of the crime. Conan asked the Doctor to see it on the ground, and marked it with a red pen on the map.

"There doesn't seem to be a clue to the name. Xiao Ai carefully looked at the name of the place where the crime occurred.

"The span of regions is also huge. "It's hard to find a pattern to this kind of flow of motion.

"But there are no more victims. This is the exact news that Xiao Jing got from her father.

"Could it be a random crime?" The case has been happening for a while, but the police have not made any progress, which can't help but make Xiao Ai suspect that it was a random crime.

"The result on the police side is that these people don't know each other. Xiao Jing once again provided clues that her father had learned.

"Don't always think about this case, the police haven't made progress for so long, the case must be very complicated, let's go to the mall to relax." The doctor suggested as Conan looked thoughtful.

"Agreed. "Xiao Jing is thinking big.

"Isn't that Takagi?" After entering the mall, Xiao Jing immediately found Takagi and Sato upstairs.

"The police are there, too. Conan immediately looked around as soon as he opened his mouth and spotted several police officers who had also attended the meeting last time.

"Did a case happen?" of course the doctor with so many police officers present.

"Matsumoto Police is also there. "

Is this the prisoner has been locked?It's just that his father didn't get the news?Xiao Jing, who thought so, immediately entered a state of super-sensibility.

The smell of footsteps, teacher

A woman with glasses walked past them and glanced at Xiao Jing.

"Let's go up! This is the scene of the arrest!" Conan reasoned why so many police officers were here, and took the lead and ran up the elevator.
