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

Chapter 916 Ayami Ogino: I've noticed it too.........

Let alone Yamato Kansuke, even Yamamura Misao, who seems the most guileless and guileless, has his own little schemes...

However, at present, only Yamato Kansuke has shown this...

Of course, they might have their own ulterior motives, but as police officers, they won't let these petty thoughts affect the overall situation...

The reason is quite simple—

The time limit mentioned above is the same for everyone...............................

If, due to mutual obstruction, the case is not solved within the stipulated time...

All of them will be in deep trouble......................................

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

Matsumoto Kiyonaga reached out another hand and pressed Yamato Kansuke, who was about to stand up and go out to hunt down Fukase Minoru, back down again.

He gestured to Yamato Kansuke, then slowly began to speak.................................

"No rush..............................."

"Let's first hear from Inspector Yokomizo and Inspector Ogino about their clues and discoveries........................................"

"Minoru Fukase will be arriving in Tokyo some time from now..."

"If we go too early, it might attract attention..."

Hearing this, Yamato Kansuke was slightly taken aback, then realized that he had indeed been too hasty...

Indeed, while Fukase Minoru is very valuable—at least Yamato Kansuke himself thinks so—it was ultimately his own suggestion…

Inspectors Shigeo Yokomizo and Ayami Ogino also have something to say.............................

If I don't tell them, wouldn't I offend someone again?

Thinking of this, Yamato Kansuke felt somewhat helpless.

I still don't quite understand social etiquette, but thankfully, Manager Matsumoto patiently reminded me repeatedly...................................

Moreover, what Manager Matsumoto said is also correct...........................

Minoru Fukase arrived in Tokyo in the afternoon, while the meeting is still in the morning...

Their premature deployment might backfire, as Fukase Minoru's girlfriend might notice and cause the opposite of what they intended...

Thinking of this, Yamato Kansuke immediately stopped in his tracks and obediently turned back....................................

"Yokomizo, Ogino, what are your thoughts...?"

Seeing this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded and looked at Yokomizo Shigeo and Ogino Ayami............................

"According to the previously agreed-upon order, Ogino will speak first....................................."

"Yes, Manager Matsumoto."

Seeing this, Ayami Ogino nodded.

She turned around, took the laptop she had brought from her desk, and placed it in front of Matsumoto Kiyonaga...

On the laptop screen, a series of documents had already appeared...................................

Matsumoto Kiyonaga glanced at it casually at first, his expression remaining unchanged, seemingly unconcerned.

In reality, Lin Jiayou, who was pretending to be someone else, was already inwardly sneering...

Heh, looks like even the Japanese police aren't all suffering from lung phlegm...

Some details about Masaaki Okakura have been unearthed...

That's right, this document clearly contains Masaaki Okakura's personal introduction and some background information about him...............................

Before the cases were merged, the Saitama Prefectural Police investigated suspects with a personal grudge against Masaaki Okakura, starting with mahjong tiles and examining his personal background.

After all, as a member of parliament's secretary, Masaaki Okakura certainly knew a lot of things, so it's not surprising that such a person would have enemies.

Or rather, it would be strange if he didn't have any enemies...

"What's this..................................."

"Matsumoto Kiyona" spoke calmly, asking Saitama Prefectural Inspector Ogino Ayami a question...

Ogino Ayami was unaware of the true thoughts hidden in the eyes of the 'Matsumoto Manager' before her, and simply began to explain obediently...

"Manager Matsumoto, these are some personal details about Masaaki Okakura..."

"As you know, the Saitama Prefectural Police have been focusing on investigating the background of Okakura Masaaki, the congressman's secretary..."

"Even after we came to Tokyo to conduct a joint investigation, we still didn't let our guard down..."

"Of these documents, this one is, in my personal opinion, highly suspicious......................................"

As she spoke, Ayami Ogino pressed a button on her computer.

On the computer screen, a file instantly appeared that was vastly different from the others, even just by looking at it..............................................

"Manager Matsumoto, please look..."

Ayami Ogino began to explain to Kiyonaga Matsumoto.

"The preceding information pertains to the third victim, Masaaki Okakura, after he became a member of parliament's secretary..."

"Because of your previous comments on the term 'Qixi Festival,' it suddenly occurred to me last night that perhaps the timeline could be extended a bit more......................................."

"So I had my colleagues in Saitama Prefecture redo Okakura Masaaki's data from the previous years......................................."

"Therefore, this document came into being..."

Ayami Ogino paused for a moment, then continued,

"This document dates back to about six months before Okakura Masaaki became a member of parliament's secretary..."

"According to past information, Masaaki Okakura was not the only candidate for Secretary of Representative Anzai—in fact, there were three candidates at the time..............................."

"At that time, Masaaki Okakura was only ranked second; the most promising candidate was another young man a year younger than him..."

"However, at the crucial final moment, this young man voluntarily withdrew from the election and disappeared without a trace..."

"Our investigation revealed that he was caught in a street brawl with thugs during that period, leaving scars on his face that resulted in disfigurement..."

"From then on, the young man became disheartened and returned to his hometown, where he inherited his parents' business, opening a small shop to make a living..."

"Although I don't have to worry about daily life, it's still a world of difference compared to before..."

"Upon further investigation, we discovered..."

"On the day of Tanabata last year, he had contact with Masaaki Okakura......................................."

Ayami Ogino rambled on and on...

Her words gradually made everyone understand what she wanted to express..................................

"I see..............................."

Yamato Kansuke stroked his chin and nodded...

So you mean...............................

"This young man's experiences back then were very likely caused by Masaaki Okakura..."

"After receiving some information during last year's Qixi Festival, he investigated and uncovered the truth..."

"From a high-ranking candidate for congressional secretary to an ordinary convenience store owner, such a dramatic fall fueled his resentment, leading him to begin his revenge plan........................................"

"But.................................."
