Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Chapter 772: The Murderer

Conan pointed at the leather gloves Lin was wearing and asked, "Are they made of deerskin?

"This, this..."

Yui glared at the embarrassed Lin with a fierce look: "Glove traces. They were collected from both the key that fell at the scene and the mobile test vehicle."

Yui raised the key with a rabbit pendant in her right hand. The planetarium screen also displayed a mobile observation vehicle with a parabolic antenna.

"Also, this is a piece of leather that Genta bit off the glove of the criminal who attacked Inspector Yamato and Detective Uehara."

As Takagi explained, the scene on the screen switched, revealing leather fragments in a plastic bag.

"The identification results show that the leather fragments are exactly the same as the deerskin on the gloves of the criminals who broke into here."

Lin's expression became visibly anxious.

"In other words, you left behind so much evidence that is enough to prove that you are the criminal!" Kogoro said in a strong voice.

Lin Xiangfeng glanced in the direction of the door where he was, and then ran towards the door in the opposite direction like a spring.

Unfortunately, as soon as Lin ran to the open door, he was blocked by a cane. It was Yamato's cane.

"Warfare is the art of deception." Yamato, standing in front of the door, smiled slightly.

"Yamato Police Department!"

Led by Ran, everyone who had heard that Yamato was dead opened their eyes wide in shock.

"Isn't that what you should say at a time like this? Right, Gao Ming?"

Gao Ming, who looked stunned, came to his senses immediately when his name was called.

"…That's right. The fundamental principle of combat is to deceive the enemy. That's a famous quote from Sun Tzu."

"Xiao Lin"

Yamato looked at Lin in front of him.

"When I saw the avalanche you caused, I remembered you clearly. Who was the person I witnessed at that time ten months ago..."

Ten months ago.

When Yamato was chasing Gokura on the snow-covered Mount Miho, he found a car parked on the forest road. Next to the car, a hooded man was doing something.

"Hey! What are you doing there? Run!"

As Yamato shouted, the hood of the person working was blown off by the strong wind, revealing the face underneath.

The hooded man—that was Lin.

In front of the charcoal hut, when the avalanche was approaching on the north slope, Yamato's left eye suddenly felt an inexplicable pain.

As the sharp pain hit, Yamato remembered the face of the hooded man he had seen on the snowy mountain ten months ago.

Yamato couldn't help but kneel down while pressing his left eye.

The avalanche is imminent.

Just as Conan and the others walked towards the charcoal hut, Otomo appeared in front of Yamato, who had escaped a step later. He dragged Yamato's body towards another charcoal hut by the river.

Otomo hugged Yamato and jumped into the charcoal kiln. The next moment, the flood of snow engulfed the entire charcoal kiln.

After a while, the rumbling sound like an earthquake stopped, and the entrance to the charcoal kiln was completely covered with snow. In the darkness, Yamato kicked the snow at the door with his right foot.

However, the snow, which was packed so tightly, did not move at all.

At this moment, some snow fell from the chimney directly opposite the entrance, and some light came in.

"Yamato Police Department!"

Conan's voice came from the distance. "I'm here!" Yamato responded: "Inspector Yamato!"

This time the sound came from directly above the flue.

"It seems this is the chimney of the charcoal kiln. It was Otomo who saved me."

Otomo passed out next to Yamato.

"Great. I'll call for help right away."

"No, wait."

Yamato called out to Conan who was about to leave.

"I understand everything now. Who did I see ten months ago? Who was the criminal who attacked Inspector Samedani and me?"

After reviewing the avalanche incidents ten months ago and yesterday, Yamato continued, "Then, I told everything to the first person who found us. So..."

Yui, who came from behind Lin, continued, "If it's discovered that Inspector Yamato is still alive, he'll definitely be targeted again, and it will also bring harm to those around him."

Gao Ming touched his chin with his hand and nodded slightly: "So before arresting Inspector Lin, I decided to pretend that I was dead."

"That job seems to have been entrusted to the public security department."

Yamato said this and turned his gaze to Lin.

"Unlike you, he's a trustworthy public security officer."

Kazami stood in front of the door, listening to Yamato and the others' conversation with a serious face. Yui walked up behind Hayashi and asked, "Ten months ago, the person that Inspector Yamato witnessed was Inspector Hayashi, that is, you."

"At that time, you were deploying the huge antenna on that car." After Yamato finished speaking, Ochi saw the mobile observation vehicle displayed on the screen.

"Mobile observation vehicle..." Yui asked again, facing Lin with his back to her. "You tried to steal a car again a few days ago. I guess you were trying to do the same thing. What did you do on the snowy mountain of Mt. Miho-dake ten months ago?"

"I'm afraid it would be very troublesome if someone witnessed it."

Gao Ming added, and Yamato roared at Lin in front of him.

"Answer me! Lin!!" This time, the person who answered was Hasebe.

"It's receiving satellite radio waves. Those are also radio waves from Japan's intelligence-gathering satellites."

"Huh?" Lan and others exclaimed in surprise.

Hasebe said as he walked between the seats.

"Of course, it also includes military satellite intelligence from our ally, the United States. Trying to use this data

You are the one who made this known to the world and used it to threaten the Japanese government."

"So, Mr. Hasebe has been looking for that criminal all this time?"

"Aren't you a prosecutor affiliated with the Investigation Headquarters?"

When Conan and Kogoro asked questions one after another, Hasebe stopped and turned to look in the direction of Conan and the others.

"Sorry, I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I'm Hasebe from the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center." Hasebe introduced himself and bowed to everyone.

Kogoro, Sato, and Takagi, who had heard that he was a prosecutor of the investigation headquarters, were all shocked when they heard this.

"I forced Officer Kuroda to participate in the search operation, disguised as a prosecutor from the search headquarters."

When Hasebe confessed his true identity, Gao Ming said, "I see."

"Did the Japanese government initiate internal investigations and public security operations because they received such threats?"

"Internal adjustment?" Lan asked in confusion, and Feng Jian explained.
