Chapter 65 The Dead Man Holding His Heart

"Since the mailboxes that appeared later were exactly the same, the mailbox you sawed open might not be the original one."

Conan got to the point: "This explains the envelope that appeared at the scene."

Officer Fujisai looked at him in surprise and said, "Very perceptive, little boy... Of course we have thought about this."

"We checked the remaining letters in the mailbox and determined that the oldest one was only put in two months ago... which means that the mailbox was changed two months ago."

He was very distressed: "But we can't find out who did it. There is no surveillance in the school. If we go there in the dark at night, it can be said that no one will notice it."

Conan asked: "What about that newly appeared mailbox? The police shouldn't do nothing about it."

Officer Fujisai: "The abandoned building couldn't be connected to the power supply, so we couldn't install surveillance. But we put the locator and the bug in the mailbox... but we didn't find anything until they lost power."

Mao Lilan hugged Conan tightly in her arms, "Then... is that mailbox still standing there now?"

Officer Fujisai nodded: "After the death of the previous principal, no one dared to manage it anymore."

"……Why?"

His expression became even uglier. “Because… the previous principal died tragically in his own home after he issued an order prohibiting everyone from approaching that building.”

"His tongue was cut off, cooked and placed on a plate with a knife, fork and sauce."

Mao Lilan swallowed unconsciously, opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Could it be... Could it be..."

"Do not."

Officer Fujisai made an inappropriate joke: "Fortunately, he is not Hannibal, and does not have the heavy taste we imagined... That tongue, there is no sign of being chewed."

"Was it the same person who committed the previous murder?"

Conan is still sharp.

"It's highly likely, but not certain, because there are no marks of confession on the principal's body."

Yukiko Kudo, who was listening in, couldn't help but look serious: "It sounds like this school is really dangerous."

"Just dangerous?"

Officer Fujisai sneered, "Do you know how many murders have been related to Meiji Junior High School in the past three years?"

He paused, but didn't keep the secret: "Nearly ten!"

"How many?!"

Conan was shocked!
Although he encountered many murders every day, they were distributed all over the country and the density was not high.

There are nearly ten homicides in one school now, which is really shocking!

"With so many cases, haven't the police found anything?"

Kudo Yusaku couldn't help but ask.

"This is... our negligence!"

Officer Fujisai had no expression on his face.

He took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the cigarette after trying hard to hold back.

"Although some clues have been found, no real culprit has been identified."

"...If the body wasn't still there, I would really suspect that all of this was the work of Shenyin."

The strong smell of wormwood rushed into his throat, and he looked around at the other people in the car: "So, when you said that Minzhi Middle School was related to Su Beixun, I personally believed it very much and was willing to come over to help."

"Have you got the case files with you, Inspector?"

Conan asked.

Fujisai shook his head: "The file is still at the police station, but I have all the details memorized in my mind."

He laughed at himself: "After all, these cases are piled up until now because of my incompetence. It's hard to forget them even if I want to."

Xiaolan wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to start.

So, in silence, the car completed its last journey.

A few people got off the car, and in front of them was still the standard guard room.

A uniformed guard came out and asked questions, and just as Kudo Yusaku was about to step forward to explain, Officer Fujisai took out his ID.

"Because of the previous case, we need to reinvestigate some things. Please cooperate."

The guard nodded immediately. He opened the school gate and asked quietly, "Officer, was the person who came before also your colleague?"

Fujisai was stunned, then startled, and asked, "Did someone else come just now? When was it?"

"Ah, just... just three or four minutes ago, he also said he was here to investigate the murder case at Meiji Junior High School."

"Where did he go?!"

Conan rushed to the guard's legs and asked loudly.

"He asked me where the abandoned dormitory building was and then left."

Officer Fujisai frowned, but without saying anything, he ran straight towards the abandoned dormitory building.

The remaining four men ran after him.

It is class time now, the school seems empty and quiet, and running is very smooth.

In less than three minutes, a gloomy and dilapidated building appeared in front of everyone.

Officer Fujisai took the lead, pushed open the old wooden door with a "clang", and then stood there.

Conan behind him saw the scene inside through the gap and also widened his eyes in disbelief.

On the wall of the corridor on the first floor, a bloody figure was nailed to the lime wall with an iron nail piercing his shoulder blade. His hands were crossed and held up, with his heart dug out and placed on top of them, his face was hideous and terrifying.

"what!!!!!!"

Xiaolan was so frightened that her heart stopped and she screamed subconsciously.

Officer Tengzai pulled out his cell phone and explained the situation to the police station.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the strange man standing next to the deceased.

A brown suit with a hat of the same color.

Officer Teng Zhai did not presume that he must be the murderer, but he still cautiously took out his gun and pointed it at the ground: "Who are you? Why are you here? What is your connection with this case?"

Wait a minute! This back view...

Conan felt that the back figure was very familiar.

But before he could verify it, the man raised his hands and slowly turned around: "My name is Megure Jusan. I heard about the case here and came here to investigate... a private detective, right?"

He paused at the end and continued, "I have nothing to do with this case. I only arrived three minutes earlier than you and I called the police in advance."

"Me... Officer Megure?!" X4
Megure's expression was complicated: "I am no longer a police officer... Long time no see, Kudo brother."

Fujisai frowned: "Do you know each other?"

Mao Lilan explained for him: "This is a police officer we met in Tokyo, but he just resigned a few days ago."

Conan was very curious: "Inspector Megure, why are you here?!"

When he was taking the statement, he clearly did not mention anything about Meiji Junior High School!
Megure took out his phone and said, "I received a text message like this last night, so I took a flight here this morning."

On the azure blue screen of the phone, it was written:

[Given another chance, how many people can you save? ——From Hokkaido Minji Junior High School]

"What does it mean?"

Conan rubbed his head.

He only knew that the police suffered heavy casualties when they arrested Su Beixun, and Inspector Megure was greatly shocked by this, but he was not clear about what exactly happened.

Megure didn't answer.

He gripped the phone more tightly, and his eyes became gloomy as he looked at the text on the screen.

——Su Beixun, are you really dead?
——If you are still alive...

——If you are still planning to hurt others... then this time, I will definitely kill you before you carry out your evil deeds!!!
"I don't care who you are..."

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, but Officer Fujisai didn't care at all. He looked at Megure and shouted coldly: "Don't leave my sight until you are cleared of suspicion!"

"Of course, I will cooperate."

　I finally visited all my relatives today. If no one comes to my house tomorrow, I should have the whole day free.
