Detectives of Detective World

Chapter 376 The dead in the mall

Early the next morning,

After Tang Ze went to work, he found Sihuayuan and informed the other party that the new book was basically finished.

Let the other party choose the right time to announce the news, so as to maximize the publicity effect.

And after this day was passed safely, just when Tang Ze was about to get off work on Thursday night, when he was full of thoughts that he could spend the day safely, the case came as promised.

When he arrived at the scene by car, the familiar figure in front of him made Tang Ze feel no waves in his heart.

Xiaolan, Yuanzi, and Conan, who works all year round, seem to have run into a case while playing on the way home after school.

It's just that Tang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw another short-haired woman with blond hair beside the three.

Meeting Judy again shows that this case may be mixed with some small information from both the red and black parties.

Small information in this kind of case is a valuable puzzle piece for Conan, but it is not something worthy of attention to Tang Ze.

After seeing the other party, he smiled and said hello, and then began to check the scene carefully.

Let Conan play with the little information revealed by the other party in the case, he needs to pay attention to the case.

After asking the confessions of Sonoko and others, the general situation of the case has been understood.

Conan and the three of them met Mr. Judy after school.

Because it seemed that satyrs were harassing the students recently, Judy wanted to ask the two of them about the situation, so she brought three people to the mall here to have drinks and talk.

While they were talking, the lighting in the mall suddenly dimmed, and then a commotion was heard outside.

When he ran out, he found that the deceased was leaning against the protective wall at the entrance of the escalator, clutching his chest and dying.

The deceased was named Nakajo Katsuzawa, 43 years old this year, the president of a detective agency.

As for the cause of death, he was stabbed in the stomach and died.

Combined with the fact that the crime scene was in a place with huge traffic like a shopping mall, and the testimony of Sonoko and others that the power was cut off before, it can be speculated that the culprit committed the murder in the short moment when the power was cut off.

And in the file bag of the deceased's arms around his chest, there was a set of strange death messages that the other party tried to leave before his death, pointing to the prisoner - "○×△"!

After investigating the mobile phone of the deceased, the forensic staff found that the last call from the deceased was 30 minutes ago.

And at that time, it happened to be the moment when the case happened! !

Yes, you heard that right, it took Tang Ze and others 30 minutes to arrive at the crime scene.

This is not only the problem of long distances, but also because of traffic jams on the road...

It took half an hour to talk about whether it was long or short. After hearing the report of the forensic staff, Tang Ze directly took the mobile phone and chose to call the deceased's last phone call through the evidence bag.

But when the phone was dialed, a phone ring suddenly rang in the crowd of onlookers.

"Ring Ling Ling!!!"

Hearing the harsh ringtone, Tang Ze and others unconsciously looked towards the ringtone,

After that, I saw a middle-aged man with a high hairline and took out his mobile phone in a panic.

"Ah, wait…"

Looking at the constantly ringing mobile phone, the man hurriedly pressed the close button and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he raised his head, he found that the criminals on the side had already come to his side.

"It seems that thirty minutes ago, sir, you called the dead man."

Tang Ze's words instantly made the man in front of him panic, and he quickly wanted to deny, "No...I..."

"I'm sorry." Tang Ze didn't have the patience to struggle with the other party's heart, and directly grabbed the other party's wrist and turned the phone screen towards himself.

Sure enough, the name of the deceased was displayed above.

"Ah, I think of my brother-in-law!" Yuanzi seemed to suddenly remember something when he saw the phone, "He was calling from the seat next to us, saying that he would pay four times the price and ask the other party to come over and pay, etc. …”

"Hoo? This is a very dangerous speech..." Tang Ze stared sharply at the other party, "Sir, don't you want to explain something?"

"I know! I said it! I'll tell you all about it!"

Facing the criminals who were staring at him, the man who couldn't resist the pressure quickly opened his mouth and begged for mercy.

According to the other party's self-introduction, he is called Jiujiu, the company is on the 8th to 10th floors of this building, and the company's general affairs minister.

The reason why they have contact with the other party is because their company discovered last month that an employee was embezzling public funds without permission, so the leader above asked him to order him to find out this guy who embezzled public funds before the president knew about it.

Naturally, he is not a professional investigator, so he doesn't have the ability to investigate, so he hired a detective to investigate.

This is actually quite common in Neon. The daily business of many detectives is not actually a murder case, but this kind of business investigation, finding a mistress and some gray areas.

It's just obvious that the detective he was looking for was unreliable and had no professional ethics. After finding the prisoner, he directly chose to sit on the ground and raise the price.

At that time, what Conan and the others heard was his conversation with the detective, saying that the other party was willing to pay double the price, and if he was not willing to pay a higher price, then he would sell the information to the other party.

That's why Conan and the others heard the words in the cafe before.

It's just that the other party didn't come at the appointed time. Later, when he was looking for the other party, he was attracted by the onlookers. Only then did he know that Nakajo Katsuzawa was dead, and it was also at this time that the phone suddenly rang and he was discovered.

"So, the file bag held in the deceased's arms is the file?" Takagi speculated after hearing the words: "Now the file in the file bag is gone, which means that the prisoner is obviously aiming for this file. Come, then those who embezzle public funds are criminals."

Tang Ze nodded when he heard the words, and then looked at the next life for a long time and said: "Then, Mr. Next life, I wonder if Mr. Nakajo has investigated anything to report to you before this?"

"Ah, there are some!"

After hearing this for a long time, the prisoner in the next life quickly took out a list from the portfolio in his hand, "A week ago, Detective Nakajo provided me with a list of suspicious employees."

As a result, Takagi glanced at the densely written list of people and said with a headache: "Hey, this is not a joke, so many people want to be investigated one by one, that is a big project!"

"There are fifty-eight prisoners in total."

Looking at the list, Tang Ze quickly counted the number of people.

Hearing Takagi's words, Tang Ze smiled at him and said, "Indeed, it is too troublesome for so many people to investigate one by one.

But as long as the "death message" left by Mr. Nakajo is unraveled, everything will be solved. "
