Chapter 430: A Glimmer of Light in the Cracks 25
Inside the Metropolitan Police Department.
There were no relatives registered for Kenshinori Wakita, and the person sent by the organization to identify him was Toru Amuro, who was also known as Bourbon, so no one wanted to claim his body until Kogoro Mori came.
Takagi Wataru brought the unruly Mouri Kogoro and the other two to the place where the body was kept. Before lifting the white cloth covering the body, Takagi Wataru glanced at Conan.
He originally wanted to persuade Conan to leave, but when he thought about the fact that there were many corpses at the scene that were scarier than this one and Conan was not afraid, he didn't say anything more.
When the four people came out of the room, Maori Kogoro broke the silence among them, "Judging from the body shape, clothes and facial features that were not completely destroyed, this person is indeed Wakita, but..."
Maori Kogoro glanced at the document in his hand, "The corpse's buck teeth are false teeth, the hair is also a wig, and there is no beard on the corpse..."
This made him unable to confirm 100% that the deceased was Wakita Kanenori...
Or the deceased was Wakida, but the Wakida who usually appeared in front of them was a disguise.
Amuro Toru looked at Takagi Wataru nonchalantly, "Officer Takagi, Wakita's left eye seems to be sick again recently. Where is the deceased's eye?"
Kogoro Mouri also hurriedly looked through the information in his hand, and Conan, who pretended not to exist, also looked at Takagi Wataru nervously.
He thought to himself that in some cases, the police would only disclose the more common situations and some features would be deliberately concealed.
Rum's left eye was a fake one. If the deceased was really Rum, the police would have discovered problems with his eye even before the autopsy began.
Takagi Wataru said calmly: "The deceased's eye is a prosthetic eye, and he is not sick."
The details of the eyes don't match, so Kogoro Mori can't be 100% sure that this person is Kenshinori Wakita.
But Toru Amuro and Conan who were present were basically certain that the person lying here was most likely Rum, the second-in-command of the organization.
Most of the details of the corpse are different from those of Kanenori Wakita, but it is exactly the same as that of Rum, the second-in-command of the organization.
Both of them couldn't help but look back at the closed door. Is the person lying there really that Rum?
In the office of the First Investigation Division, Miwako Sato received a call and was about to go out on a field trip when she saw Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara sitting at their desks sorting out documents. She took a few steps outside and then turned back, "Why didn't you two go with Mr. Mori and the others?"
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyes and looked at Sato Miwako, "For something like that, Takagi can just lead them there by himself. We shouldn't get involved."
Hagiwara Kenji also smiled and nodded, "Jinpei is right."
Sarina told them to try not to stimulate their friend's memory, so the two of them deliberately avoided Toru Amuro.
Miwako Sato just felt that these two people were more active when dealing with cases related to Mr. Mori, so she was curious why the two people didn't go with them.
She glanced at the documents in the two people's hands. It was obvious that they were being filed. It seemed that the two people should be idle.
"I received a call about a missing person case. You two have nothing to do anyway, do you want to join us?"
Upon hearing that there was a new case, the two looked at each other, put down the case report they were about to write, picked up their coats and followed Sato Miwako out.
The daunting paperwork of case closing reports should be delayed as long as possible.
Just as the three of them left, Takagi Wataru also came back with Mori Kogoro and the other two.
"How is it?" Inspector Megure looked at the four people who came back, "Is it him?"
He had also dealt with Kensuke Wakita before, and he also felt that the deceased looked somewhat like him, especially the delivery vehicle found at the crime scene and the clothes on the deceased.
Takagi Shige replied: "Mr. Maori cannot be 100% sure whether the deceased is Mr. Wakita. There are several features on the body that cannot match Mr. Wakita."
Kogoro Mori also nodded to show his agreement with what Takagi Wataru said.
Inspector Megure sighed when he heard this. "In this case, if no one can confirm his identity, an autopsy procedure may be initiated later."
Kogoro Mouri communicated with Inspector Megure for a few more words. He wanted Inspector Megure to share some details of the case with him later. After all, the deceased might be his second apprentice Kenshinori Wakita.
Inspector Megure did not refuse this request. It was not the first time that Kogoro Mouri helped them solve a case, so these things were not a big deal.
After discussing these things, Takagi Shigeru looked at the three missing people in the office with some curiosity, "Inspector, have Sato, Matsuda, and Hagiwara taken on new cases?"
Officer Megure nodded, "There was a missing person case before you came back, and the three of them went together."
Takagi Shigeru still felt a little regretful for not being able to appear on the scene with Sato Miwako, but it was only a small regret.
Amuro Toru, who had been silent all the time, glanced at several places in the office and quickly retracted his gaze.
Conan, who was also silent, kept his attention on Toru Amuro.
He was sure that the email that Toru Amuro had received before should be the task sent by the organization to the Metropolitan Police Department to confirm the identity of the deceased.
Conan lowered his eyes and decided to try to contact Miss Arata later.
