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

Chapter 924 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga': I have made the following arrangements...

"So, the matter is quite clear.............................."

Seeing that the police officers below had already understood this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga continued,

"About a few years ago, or some unknown time ago, Shizuko Kaga, Azusa Kitajima, and Shuhei Jinno encountered something......................................."

"Of course, it's more likely that these six victims all encountered something at the same time..."

"This matter may pose a threat to their lives......................................."

"Then, a 'child' that we don't yet know about, for Kagashi Tsuko, appeared........................................"

"He or she saved everyone, but was injured themselves, and may very well be dead..."

"Therefore, over the years, Kaga Shizuko and the others have visited the grave every year to commemorate this child............................................."

"It's also possible that they visit the hospital every year, but that's less likely than visiting the graves..."

"But then, last year, something happened..."

"That is........................................"

As he spoke, "Matsumoto Kiyonaga" pasted a blank photograph back onto the whiteboard...

Then, next to the photograph, he drew an arrow pointing to a new blank photograph, with the words 'relatives' written on it...................................

"This 'child,' he or she, still has relatives..."

"A year ago, Shuhei Jinno was stabbed by Fukase, and Azusa Kitajima and the others were worried..."

"That child's unknown relatives might retaliate against them because of this..."

"So, Kitajima Azusa went to Kaga Shizuko's izakaya to discuss with her whether they should continue going..."

"Unlike Kitajima Azusa's hesitation, Kaga Shizuko was not worried about this and decided to continue on her way..."

"This is everything we've uncovered so far, a year ago..."

"And this could very well be the connection between these six victims..."

"If this is their connection, then..."

Lin Jiayou, disguised as 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga', pointed to the two blank photos he had pasted on the whiteboard...................................

"The child's 'relatives' are highly suspicious..............................."

"Therefore, we currently need to find out two things..."

"First, who is this 'child'? And what was it that simultaneously plunged six victims into crisis...................................."

"Secondly, does this child have any living relatives? Which of his or her relatives is most likely to have committed the crime........................................."

"I agree with Manager Matsumoto's idea..."

Yamato Kansuke is completely impressed by Matsumoto Kiyonaga today..........................

He immediately followed and expressed his attitude...........................

The other police officers also expressed their opinions...

"it is good,"

Upon seeing this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga immediately spoke.........................

He first looked at Yamato Kansuke.

"Officer Yamato, you absolutely cannot abandon Fukase on your side..."

"He stabbed Jinno Shuhei a year ago; now it seems there might be a deeper reason..."

"We need to find out if he has any connection with the child that Kaga Shizuko mentioned..."

"So, I'm leaving Fukase in your care......................................."

"Yes--"

Yamato Kansuke responded loudly.

Although his physical limitations prevented him from standing up to salute 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga,' his voice was certainly second to none...

Seeing this, Lin Jiayou, disguised as 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga', secretly felt smug...

See? With just a few words, they can further slow down their progress in getting close to the truth of the case...

In Lin Jiayou's opinion, that Fukase guy definitely wouldn't be the final culprit....................................

Like I said before, since they were going to take action a year ago, why not take them out one by one? Why try to kill just one person, and even then, they couldn't finish him off.........................................

It can only be said that what happened a year ago was purely a coincidence.......................................

Now that we've determined that Fukase something-or-other isn't the culprit, we can simply hand him over to Yamato Kansuke to investigate...

As I said before...

Lin Jiayou is stalling for time now; he has plenty of ways to bring them back later..........................

All you need to do is create a time difference.........................................

"As for Officer Ogino, what about you.........................................."

Lin Jiayou, disguised as 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga', looked at Ogino Ayami and pondered for a moment..............................

Aya Ogino spoke up quite consciously.

"Matsumoto Management Officer................................."

"Based on your analysis, the clues I have don't seem to be that important anymore..."

"How about we put it aside for now...?"

"That's not necessary..."

After pondering for a moment, Matsumoto Kiyonaga shook his head.............................

"My speculation is ultimately just my speculation..........................."

"We police officers, we're not detectives, relying on a single guess and then putting all our resources into it..."

"We need evidence to solve cases, so................................"

"No clue can be overlooked..."

"We still need to investigate the leads you have, but..."

"This time, all we can do is give it to your own Saitama Prefectural Police force..."

Just kidding, we definitely have to investigate Ayami Ogino's side..........................

If they don't delve deeper into that area, how will Okakura Masaaki's affair come to light?

How else could he set a trap for Kuroda Hyōe...............................

Anyway, his reason was reasonable enough that Ayami Ogino and the others couldn't possibly refuse him...

"no problem,"

As expected, Ayami Ogino nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

If it were her, she would make the same choice if she didn't want to give up either side...

"it is good,"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded and looked at all the police officers below.

"Next, I will make the following arrangements—"

"Inspector Ogino, you'll be leading the Saitama Prefectural Police, focusing specifically on Okakura Masaaki's case..."

"Officer Yamato, you will lead all the police officers in Nagano Prefectural Police to be fully prepared and ready to arrest Fukase Nene at any time..."

"Officer Yamamura, your Gunma Prefectural Police are fully cooperating with Officer Yamato's operation..."

"Officer Shigego Yokomizo, Officer Sango Yokomizo, the Kanagawa Prefectural Police and the Shizuoka Prefectural Police are cooperating to fully investigate crisis incidents similar to fires and landslides that have occurred within the past five years..."

"To pose a threat to at least six people simultaneously is certainly no ordinary matter; it will inevitably be reported and documented..."

"Once that matter is uncovered, everything will be much easier..."
