"Concept God Ability"
Fujino glanced at Conan out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that the other had already said what he wanted to say, he didn't say anything more.
Giving this kid a chance to show off and satisfy my vanity is a good idea.
He just didn't understand why this kid was so eager to take credit for everything, even though he was clearly going to pass it on to someone else...
But then I think about how excited this kid gets every time a case happens, just like a husky.
Perhaps it's simply to satisfy one's own desire to solve cases?
To be honest, it is a bit perverted.
He solves cases mostly for the reward, and has little interest in solving cases themselves.
If he could, he would rather there never be a murder case in this world caused by injustice or the inability to seek justice through the law.
After taking Bunta Kuniyoshi Juzo Megure set up a makeshift interrogation room in the building's security office.
"Mr. Guoji, we suspect that you are at risk of intentional homicide."
Juzo Megure took out a photo of the list and the code. "You didn't have an alibi at the time of the incident, and the code left by the deceased on the file before he died, when put together, is your name."
"Oh—is that why you summoned me?"
Bunta Kuniyoshi lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. "But officer, aren't you being a bit too hasty? This could be a mark left by the murderer after the victim's death. If that's the case, then I'm also a victim who's been framed."
He paused, then continued in a calm tone, "If you want to interrogate me, you should find that document first. If I were the murderer, I wouldn't run upstairs; I would run away and burn the document."
"It seems you've already prepared your explanation."
Fujino stood aside and glanced at Bunta Kuniyoshi: "But actually, it doesn't matter whether we need the documents or not. Since we already suspect you, we're definitely well-prepared."
Megure: "?"
Is there?
"Prepare?"
Bunta Kuniyoshi was taken aback upon hearing this, and frowned as he looked at Fujino: "You've found evidence that I committed murder?"
"Speaking of which, before the murder, the suspect was suspected of embezzling public funds. Putting the murder case aside for now, as long as we let our colleagues in the Second Investigation Division investigate your cash flow, they will definitely find evidence of embezzlement."
Fujino didn't respond directly. Instead, he leaned closer, staring into Bunta Kuniyoshi's eyes, and smirked slightly. "If they find out you embezzled public funds, and then continue investigating the murder... they'll definitely be able to find the murderer leaving the company through nearby surveillance footage, but not coming back... tsk tsk tsk."
Megure: "?"
Are there surveillance cameras around here?
"Monitor?!"
Bunta Kuniyoshi was taken aback upon hearing this, and his expression suddenly turned strange.
"I've come to talk to you now only to ask you to turn yourself in."
Fujino lowered his eyes and continued, "My colleague has already gone to collect your evidence, but we still need to talk before taking you away. After all, if you have surrendered yourself, the court will most likely sentence you for murder."
Megure: "??"
How could he not know that the purpose of interrogation is to get the suspect to surrender?
"If I weren't so heartless, I would have taken you back to the police station long ago."
Fujino paused, then, as if empathizing, patted his shoulder and said gently, "There must be a reason for murder, and I can understand your situation. But think about your family. If we catch them, there will be no room for sentencing in court. Confessing will be treated leniently, and resisting will be punished severely. You should understand that."
"I..."
Bunta Kuniyoshi lowered his head, suddenly remembering that his wife and children were waiting for him.
I feel like if I turn myself in, I can definitely get released earlier...
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open with a "Kata," and Takagi and Conan walked in.
"Well..."
Fujino sighed with a look of disappointment, "It seems my colleague has found the evidence."
"Well?!"
Bunta Kuniyoshi suddenly panicked. "I confess, I killed him, I surrender!"
Megure: "???"
Is he about to confess?
He glanced at Fujino hesitantly, then suddenly felt much clearer.
Fujino, your interrogation techniques are impressive!
Without mentioning a single piece of evidence, the murderer confessed on his own.
Conan and Takagi looked completely bewildered at the atmosphere in the security room, which seemed to be nearing its end.
"That's it?"
Yes, that's it.
Fujino suddenly realized that his profession Failed Art Student would definitely increase credibility, so he could use it in interrogation...
As expected, it worked perfectly!
This is a conceptual ability. If it were upgraded to a higher level, wouldn't it be able to transform into the Summer Camp King of Soldiers?
This is definitely a phenomenal Concept God Ability!
Fujino could already picture himself in military training uniform, and how a single sentence, "Attention!" "Your mother was born to your maternal grandmother," or "Your paternal grandmother is your father's mother," would make the murderer kneel down and confess.
This has potential!
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Fujino turned to Takagi and asked, "Officer Takagi, have you found the evidence?"
"Hmm, ah, found it."
Takagi was also a little confused about what was going on, but he still took out the file folder, pointed to the name of Yoshitomo on it, and said, "The file is in the shredder above his workstation. Because there was blood on it, I pieced it together. Also, he probably took off his gloves when he threw the file away, so I think there are his fingerprints on it."
Megure: "???"
At this moment, he was filled with questions.
There really is evidence. How come he didn't know?
He thought his friend Fujino didn't know either, but he didn't expect he was just fooling people!
This wave, the atmosphere!
Then, he rubbed his chin together, his expression strange.
But now all the subordinates are working for my younger brother, it feels like my younger brother is the real police inspector.
I've become a stand-in?
"That..."
When Bunta Kuniyoshi saw his own evidence, he became even more convinced of Fujino's words and was even deeply moved. He asked timidly, "Am I still considered to have turned myself in?"
"Oh!"
Juzo Megure came to his senses. "However, whether you confess or not, we still need to ask you to come back to the police station with us."
"No problem!"
"Officer, thank you so much, you're still thinking of me..."
"Reform yourself and start anew. Your family is still waiting for you."
"Waaaaah... I promise I'll reform myself!"
"..."
Juzo Megure watched as the shark-like criminal expressed his gratitude and reluctance to part with his younger brother, and his eyelids twitched violently involuntarily. "How come the person is being thanked after being captured...?"
"..."
Conan, who was standing to the side, fell silent for a moment, feeling that something was off about the scene.
Even though the murderer was caught, it's good enough that the murderer doesn't hold a grudge against the detective.
What... what's going on?
Why does it seem like the general's kindness can never be repaid?
