Chapter 346

Uncle Mouri glanced at the evidence bag and asked strangely: "Officer Shiratori, did the criminal leave this behind?"

"That's not certain for now." Officer Shiratori shook his head.

"We just happened to find this at the scene; we can't rule out that someone else dropped it in the park."

Conan pinched his chin with one hand: "That sword looks so strange; I feel like I've seen it somewhere."

"Is it possible it's related to a criminal Officer Megure arrested?" Uncle Mouri asked.

"As for the criminal," Megure frowned at Kogoro Mouri, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:

"Perhaps it could be Murakami Jo. Ten years ago, he was arrested by me and Mouri for murder; he was only released from prison a week ago."

Shiratori's expression became grave: "I'll go investigate immediately!"

"Mouri, if the criminal really is Murakami Jo, you should be careful too." Megure said with worry.

"I know."

Uncle Mouri's expression was serious, as if he had become a different person.

"If it is him, it's indeed possible he might come after me too."

After a while, Shiratori walked in from outside.

"The criminal should indeed be Murakami Jo," he said with a grave face.

"He was released from prison a week ago and has suddenly disappeared; I'm afraid he's hiding somewhere, preparing for his next murder."

"Murakami Jo..." Uncle Mouri's face became even heavier.

Megure looked at Mouri, "If it really is Murakami Jo, I think it's very likely he's coming for Mouri."

"Although it was both me and Mouri who arrested him ten years ago, it was mainly Mouri."

At this time, the TV on the wall was playing an advertisement news segment, introducing the Aqua Crystal Marine Entertainment Plaza opened by Asahi Katsuyoshi.

Five o'clock in the afternoon, Dr. Agasa's house.

Dr. Agasa was helping Conan repair his solar-powered skateboard, while Conan sat in front of the TV, holding the phone and saying "uh-huh" non-stop.
