Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Chapter 931 Yokomizo Shigeo makes a new discovery...

Following Yamato Kansuke, Yokomizo Shigego also began his follow-up reporting on the previous report..................................

"Manager Matsumoto, and all colleagues................................"

Yokomizo Shigego spoke, addressing the crowd.

"Our Kanagawa Prefectural Police, throughout the entire day yesterday, found no new leads..."

"but............................."

"Last night, our case saw a major breakthrough!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Yamato Kansuke immediately pressed for an answer.

"Officer Yokomizo, what do you mean by that...................................."

"Haha, what a coincidence,"

Yokomizo Shigeo laughed heartily.

"Last night, one of the officers from the Kanagawa Prefectural Police who was investigating suddenly brought back some very important news..."

"This news can be considered the key to this case......................................."

"That was—the Qixi Festival three years ago!"

“Three years ago, on that Tanabata Festival, three of our victims from Kanagawa Prefecture—Azusa Kitajima, Shizuko Kaga, and Tsutomu Ryuzaki—had all visited Kyoto!”

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise.

Their eyes all revealed a look of surprise..........................

It matches up perfectly, it matches up perfectly..............................

Tanabata Festival, Kyoto........................

It turns out that the pronunciation of 'jin' actually means Kyoto.................................

"After obtaining this crucial clue,"

Yokomizo Shigeo immediately continued,

"Our Kanagawa Prefectural Police conducted an overnight investigation into the whereabouts of the three individuals..."

"It was later discovered that they had all stayed at the same hotel in Kyoto on Tanabata (the Chinese Valentine's Day) three years prior..."

"Without much thought, we immediately investigated the hotel they were staying at..."

"During our subsequent investigation of that hotel, we unexpectedly discovered..."

"The other three victims were also listed on the check-in list around the time of Qixi Festival three years ago..."

“......................”

Yokomizo Shigego launched into a long explanation to the assembled police officers, recounting the findings of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police's investigation throughout the previous day.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayou nodded in agreement.

Very good, excellent..............................

With the organization's intervention, the investigation results came out much faster this time............................

Yes, the report Yokomizo Shigego received last night from a police officer was actually information deliberately leaked to them by the organization...

This kind of thing is too simple for the organization; they don't even need Lin Jiayou.

With just a little effort, any undercover agent in Kanagawa Prefecture could easily achieve the goal...............................

The organization has planted countless undercover agents throughout Japan...

We don't usually need them; we just need to provide them with occasional conveniences.

For example, when investigating certain gray areas like KTVs, giving them the green light and organizing the team's actions would be much easier.

The organization is well aware of the principle of "draining the pond to catch all the fish," and generally won't allow undercover agents to do too many outrageous things...

"Therefore, our investigation into this case has made significant progress..............................."

Yokomizo Shigego continued,

"The two keywords mentioned by victim number six, Tsutomu Ryuzaki, have also been explained—they are the Tanabata Festival three years ago, and the meaning of Kyoto........................................."

"Therefore, I am here at the meeting today for two reasons: firstly, to give a report, and secondly..."

"We also hope that Superintendent Matsumoto can apply to his superiors to include the Kyoto Prefectural Police in this joint investigation..."

"Yesterday, due to the urgency of the situation, we didn't contact the police in Kyoto, so.................................."

As Yokomizo Shigeo spoke, he didn't finish his sentence...

The biggest taboo in this kind of cross-disciplinary investigation is to secretly do things without the knowledge of the homeowner...

Yokomizo Shigego's actions this time could be considered taboo, which is why he didn't say everything, but he knew that 'Manager Matsumoto' would definitely understand....................................

As expected..................................

"This isn't a big problem..."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga waved his hand and spoke calmly.

"I will explain this matter to Chief Odagiri, and I will also communicate with the police officers in Kyoto..."

"Our primary focus should be on solving the case; we must not let other matters distract us from our investigative thinking."

"Okay, sure..."

Yokomizo Shigeo nodded.

Actually, that's what he thought too.

Moreover, this matter is truly urgent............................

He also knew that their superiors had only given them a week, and two days had already passed.

If they waste another day, then they will only have four days left.............................

Over these four days, they need to work their way back from the motive to the killer, find the killer, and apprehend the killer.

Very difficult.............................

To avoid such an emergency, Yokomizo Shigeo had no choice but to act expediently, working overtime through the night to gather all the information from Kyoto and save as much time as possible.

"Horizontal groove,"

After Yokomizo Shigeo nodded, Matsumoto Kiyonaga immediately looked at him and said,

"Is this all the findings of your investigation last night?"

The subtext is, you stayed up all night last night and this is all you found out?

Moreover, this was done without notifying anyone or following any procedures, and it's just this little bit...

If that's really the case, then we really have to question your abilities..................................

"Of course not!"

Fearing he would be looked down upon, Yokomizo Shigeo quickly spoke up, loudly denying it...

"We found quite a lot last night!"

For example...............................

"There is likely to be another victim; we must go there immediately to protect them..."

"what?!"

Upon hearing Yokomizo Shigeo's words, everyone's expression immediately changed...

There are already six people, isn't that enough?

There's another victim?!

If another person dies during their joint investigation, then..............................

Even if the murderer is found, they'll still get a severe scolding...

The collective honor that's within our grasp might just slip away...................................

Seeing that everyone had realized the seriousness of the problem, Yokomizo Shigeo quickly spoke up.

"It's this person..."

He took out his phone and placed it on the table............................

The phone screen also displayed a photo and some introductory information..............................

"Shindo Jin, 27 years old, female, professional painter, currently residing in Hachioji City.............................."

"She was one of the seven survivors from the top floor of the hotel during the fire three years ago on Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day)..."

"And currently, the only one still alive............................"

"Xin Tangjin, the only one still alive among the seven survivors, died in the hotel fire............................................."

As the officers listened to Yokomizo Shigeo's words, they unconsciously began to mutter to themselves.

Not brothers..........................

The amount of information contained in those few simple words you just spoke seems to be...

It's a bit big.........................
