Chapter 761 I Thought You Were Dead
"This is Hasebe from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office." Sato stood up and introduced him to everyone.
"I heard this from Manager Kuroda. I am the prosecutor at the headquarters for the investigation of this incident."
Kogoro uncrossed his arms and looked at Hasebe in surprise: "Under normal circumstances, would a prosecutor like that come to a place like this?"
"I will come if you need me. I'm Mr. Kogoro Mori, a former detective of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department." Hasebe replied with a calm smile.
Conan, who was hiding under the table, secretly glanced at Hasebe's face, "I'll come if you need me."
Conan took Hasebe's meaningful words very seriously.
After Hasebe showed up, the search meeting began, which had not made any special progress.
Conan sneaked out of the conference room and went up to the roof and called Amuro. Amuro undoubtedly heard the details from Kazami, who had been eavesdropping on Conan and others' reasoning in the conference room.
"Mr. Amuro, why is Inspector Sametani investigating the avalanche accident ten months ago? Why is he looking for the person who was at the scene at that time? Please tell me, Mr. Amuro. What kind of department is the 'Reform Preparation Office' where Inspector Sametani works?"
Amuro did not answer immediately and remained silent.
"If Mr. Amuro can't tell me, I'll go ask Mr. Kazami. Or maybe I can ask Mr. Hayashi, the 'Hidden Public Security'?"
"........He is still a troublesome child as always."
Amuro replied helplessly: "Didn't I say that the judicial transaction system is related? That will be changed now."
Hearing this, Gu Nan remembered the TV news program he had watched before.
Congress is at a standstill as it investigates a scandal involving a member of the House of Representatives.
The review of the "Criminal Procedure Law Amendment" was also stopped.
Amuro reported everything in detail: "Yes. Although the Congress is going to introduce an amendment, the review is at a standstill."
"And then?" Conan asked.
"I'm really impressed..." A sigh came from Amuro's other end of the phone.
"That department was prepared in advance to respond to the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Law Amendment. Have I answered all your questions clearly?" Amuro asked.
"Thank you, I'll contact you if I have anything." Conan said and hung up the phone.
At a campsite on Mount Miho, Dr. Agasa, Ran, and the children are enjoying a barbecue under the starry sky.
Yuan Tai was eating grilled skewers with great appetite, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were eating pies baked in the stove, and Hui Yuan was a little far away from everyone, talking on the phone with Conan.
The murdered Sametani belonged to a department that was specifically preparing to amend the judicial transaction system.
Huibara digested the news. "So, Mr. Sametani wants to find someone who appeared at the avalanche site in order to prepare for the new judicial system?"
Conan said: "Yes. If he was killed because of this, then the criminal is likely to be someone who opposes judicial transactions?"
Huiyuan said: "But that is a law that has already been passed by Congress. How can it be stopped just because a policeman was killed?"
"Yeah..." Hearing the slightly disappointed voice coming from the other end of the phone, Huiyuan shouted: "Hello!"
"If that amendment passes, the 'Witness Protection Program' will also begin..."
Japan has not yet implemented the "Witness Protection Program" introduced from the United States, Italy and other places.
Huiyuan remembered that FBI investigator Judy had told her before that she hoped she would accept the "Witness Protection Program"
Judy has been persuading Huibara, whose true identity was discovered by Vermouth of the Black Organization and who was almost killed by them, to accept the "Witness Protection Program."
The "Witness Protection Program" is a system that protects the safety of witnesses instead of testifying. Those who accept the program will change all their information such as name and address and live as a completely different person.
Once accepting this plan, it means that all previous ties must be severed. In the end, Huibara refused on the grounds that she did not want to escape, and Judy did not insist on opposing it.
"Come on!" Conan encouraged Haibara with a smile.
"What's wrong with you?" Conan's voice brought Haibara back to his senses.
"Nothing." Conan shook his head.
After hanging up the phone, Huihara returned to the children who were happily barbecued.
Yamato left the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters and headed for Mt. Mihodake in the car driven by Yui.
It started snowing on the way, and it snowed even harder when we reached Mt. Miho. Yui drove along the mountain road and finally stopped at the end.
It was dark by now, and the light from the headlights reflected the snowflakes among the trees on the mountain.
"It's right in front. That's where I encountered the avalanche." Yamato, sitting in the passenger seat, stared at the darkness on the other side of the windshield with sharp eyes.
"Who did I see at that time..." Yamato was very depressed about his lost memory. The person he saw at that time was most likely the murderer of Sametani -
Yui, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at Yamato and said, "It's snowing again. How about we come back tomorrow?"
"If you want to go back, go ahead. I can go alone." Yamato put his hand on the car door and prepared to get out.
"...It was the same at that time." You Yi faced forward and whispered, "Xiao Gan, you left a message saying you found the imperial chef, and then you chased him by yourself... Since then, your whereabouts have been unknown, and we have not been able to contact you for several months..."
"What's wrong? Why do you say that suddenly?" Yamato took his hand off the car door and looked at Yui who lowered her head slightly.
"...I thought you were killed." Yui choked.
"How is that possible, idiot?" Yamato was puzzled.
Yamato turned around and answered. Yui looked up at Yamato and said, "But, everyone thought so at that time! All the Nagano police!"
“…So, you quit your police job and married a local celebrity while I was missing.” Yamato whispered as he looked at the falling snow through the passenger side window.
Yui once resigned from her police job and married the son of the heir of a local prominent family, but the heir mysteriously fell to his death shortly afterwards, and several murders occurred one after another.
Yui explained, "Now you know. It was to solve the mystery of Mr. Kai's case."
Patrolman Kai, who fell off a cliff and died six years ago, was deeply admired by all the villagers during his lifetime. He was also very important to Yamato and Yui. The two became detectives because of their admiration for Kai. They wanted to find out the truth about Kai's fall and death, but Yamato suddenly disappeared in an avalanche. Yui thought Yamato was dead, and in order to investigate the truth of the incident alone, she married a local celebrity who was one of the people related to the incident.
Yamato said, "Well, if I were you, I wouldn't choose to get married."
Hearing what Yamato said, Yui was stunned for a moment and then grabbed Yamato's right arm: "Then in that case, if Xiaogan is no longer in this world, I have no other way to find him... If you were me, what would you do?! Answer me!"
Yui questioned with eyes as sharp as a sword, and Yamato suddenly became a little at a loss.
Yui has been waiting for an answer.
After the two looked at each other for a while, Yamato suddenly said something, at this moment.
"boom!"
Gunshots rang out and the passenger-side rearview mirror was shattered.
