Chapter 920 Takagi Wataru's speech.....
"Um................................"
As Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke, everyone nodded in agreement.................................
Originally, the clues about Yamato Kansuke and Ogino Ayami had already excited them.................................
Now, with Yokomizo Shigeo's major discovery, everyone's attention has basically shifted to Yokomizo Shigeo's side......................................
Well, although Lin Jiayou didn't know why the police valued the two leads about Yamato Kansuke and Ogino Ayami so much...
It's clearly a very routine screening method. If it were truly effective, it would have been detected weeks ago. What's the difference if it takes a little longer?
"good................................."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded and continued speaking to the crowd.
"Since everyone agrees, let's discuss the clues Inspector Yokomizo brought us..."
"Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts on those statements. Please feel free to speak your mind..."
"this..............................."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga's words silenced the previously excited lower-ranking police officers..................................
One by one, they looked at each other, and started burying their heads in the sand...
Letting them handle cases is fine, investigating leads is also acceptable, but discussing this kind of thing is really difficult.......................................
And so, everyone's attention once again focused on the leading police officers...................................
"that..........................."
Inspector Megure noticed that everyone was silent, and he sensed that his old superior was feeling rather awkward...
So he spoke first, trying to liven up the atmosphere...
"I have an idea..."
As soon as Inspector Megure spoke, all the officers present turned to look at him...............................
Kuroda Hyōe also cast a surprised glance at Inspector Megure..........................
Wow, this seemingly unremarkable and incompetent subordinate is the first to speak; he's got some skills...
"Ahem, what I wanted to say was......................."
Inspector Megure coughed twice, then began to hesitate and try to speak...
I was just thinking about helping my old boss out of an awkward situation, and I hadn't even thought about what I wanted to say...
"In fact, I do have something to say. I mean, I have something to say, and what I'm going to say in a little while is..."
Blah blah blah, blah blah.........................
After Inspector Megure rambled on and on about a bunch of nonsense, everyone lost patience............................
"Alright, Inspector."
Even Lin Jiayou, disguised as 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga', couldn't stand it anymore and quickly told him to mute himself...........................
"Let's talk about it when we have an idea; now is not the time to waste..."
"Okay, okay......................"
Inspector Megure nodded quickly, then looked at his younger brother, Wataru Takagi, and his eyes lit up.
"Manager Matsumoto, I feel like Takagi has something to say..."
"Oh?"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga astutely sensed Inspector Megure's intention to shift the blame, and immediately looked at Takagi Wataru beside him...
"So, Inspector Megure wanted Takagi to speak...?"
"Takagi, don't be nervous, just say what you need to say..."
"Ah I?"
Takagi Wataru was slacking off down there, having a perfectly good time.....................
As a result, being suddenly pointed out by 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga' completely baffled him....................................
He looked around and noticed that the surrounding police officers were all staring at him.................................
For a moment, even Wataru Takagi began to tremble...
No, with so many police officers, how can I, a mere patrol chief who isn't even a deputy inspector, speak? This...this...
Is this appropriate?!
"Takagi, if you're going to speak, hurry up and say something..."
Sato Miwako, standing beside him, gently nudged Takagi Wataru's shoulder and whispered an urging.
"Don't waste everyone's time..............................."
"I, I, I, I..."
Takagi Wataru mumbled two more words, stuttering and stammering...
Then, his gaze gradually hardened—
Since Officer Sato has said so, I definitely have to stand up for myself!
So, he stopped thinking about it and immediately perked up...
"Gentlemen, I have an idea............................"
Takagi Wataru, steeling himself, began to share his thoughts with everyone..................................
"Do you think that Kitajima Azusa and Kaga Shizuko, along with the other victims, might.................................."
"They all belong to the same organization..."
"Belongs to an organization?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this...
Upon hearing the word 'organization,' even Kuroda Hyoue, who had been nearly asleep, lifted his head and glanced at Takagi Wataru...
However, when he realized that this organization was not the same as the one he was referring to, Kuroda Hyōe stopped looking at it.
What does that mean?
The classic straight man, Inspector Megure, is now humbly asking questions of his junior subordinate...
Takagi Wataru recalled some of the cases he had encountered before and continued,
"So, could it be that their connection is actually because they belong to some clandestine, illegal force...?"
"It's like............................."
"Similar to the Genji Firefly case, which we solved jointly with the Kyoto police before..."
"The Genji Firefly Case.............................."
Upon hearing this word, the police officers immediately became interested and took Takagi Wataru's speech more seriously, beginning to consider the possibilities of his guess.
Takagi Wataru, on the other hand, got more and more excited as he talked.
"After all, Inspector Yokomizo said before that when Kitajima Azusa came to see Kaga Shizuko, Kaga Shizuko was very surprised.................................."
"Perhaps it's because they usually communicate online and almost never meet in person..."
"There's one more point, I don't know if everyone noticed......................................."
As Takagi Wataru spoke, he pointed towards the whiteboard over there, where information boards for each victim were displayed...
Because Takagi Wataru wasn't a police inspector, his seat was some distance from the whiteboard in front of the first row where the victims' information was posted...
Their professions..............................
"Takagi, just go up there and talk..."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke, nodding to Takagi Wataru......................
He's now desperately hoping Takagi will stall for as much time as possible...
Anyway, he still has ways to help the police speed up the process later...
Having received approval, Takagi Wataru quickly stood up and walked a few steps to the whiteboard...................................
"As you can see, these people have different professions and seem to have no connection on the surface, but..."
"If we assume they belong to some illegal organization, then these professions seem to have some merit..."
"For example, the second victim, Kaga Shizuko, was an izakaya (Japanese pub) hostess............................"
