While looking at Senichi with a calm expression, Takagi hesitated and said, "Detective Senichi... are you planning to investigate those closed suicide cases?"
"Yeah, if there's a mistake, we should correct it," Senichi said calmly.
"Although I agree with what you're saying... it's better not to openly talk about it until there's evidence for such things," Sato Miwako whispered and reminded him softly. "Otherwise..."
"It might cause trouble for many people, right?"
Senichi waved his hand and said, "Actually, I still trust the judgment of my colleagues in many cases. After all, if it's classified as suicide, a lot of investigation needs to be done.
But if there's a suicide case where something doesn't add up, you can talk to me. I believe many criminal investigators have had such experiences, more or less.
If there's anyone willing to share, I can help analyze it. I won't act recklessly."
As for suicide cases, Senichi generally wasn't too worried. After all... even if there were difficult cases or incidents disguised as suicides, they would be thoroughly investigated by the First Division!
As a Detective Conan world logic veteran, everyone understood the reasons.
And he brought up this topic precisely for the case that Sato Miwako had been involved in.
Only by solving that case could they silently eliminate the impending movie version case.
"I don't have any," Takagi said while rubbing the back of his head and smiling.
"I've been with the force for a shorter time, and since working with you on cases, I haven't encountered anything that made me doubtful..."
"What about you, Sato-san?" Senichi asked, opening the conversation.
"Have you come across any suicide cases that seemed off or were hard to let go of?"
"Seemed off... Well..." Sato Miwako sighed and looked a bit dim.
"I can't make a correct judgment on this case anymore. My mind is always in chaos. Anyway, let me first explain the situation of the case..."
Then, Sato Miwako briefly recounted the events of the incident to the two of them.
In essence, during the process of surveilling a suspect, an old detective suddenly had a heart attack.
Although they had already driven to the hospital as quickly as possible, in the end, they couldn't save her.
The final outcome of that case was classified as a suicide.
"So, in other words, Detective Sato, you didn't actually participate in the resolution of that case, right?" Senichi finally prompted Sato Miwako to bring up this topic after carefully guiding the conversation.
"Yes," Sato Miwako nodded. "At that time, when that happened... After I took my senior to the hospital, the decision was made by the two detectives who were surveilling at the time."
"How about reopening the case file and double-checking?" Senichi suggested with a smile. "After all, although Sato-san was involved in the case, you weren't in charge of closing it."
"You seem quite enthusiastic," Sato Miwako said with a helpless smile. "Well, let's see. I do have some doubts about some things that happened back then."
"It's just a precaution," Senichi said with a double entendre.
"I'll go get the case file, and you two wait here," Sato Miwako said to the two of them before heading to the archives.
Senichi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after watching everything go smoothly.
His purpose in carefully guiding the conversation was to get the person involved to join in, so that his intervention wouldn't seem abrupt.
However, this impact only weakened a part of it.
As long as his actions didn't appear to be a "provocation," everything else...
Can wait until the case is resolved...
Senichi would use facts to silence everyone.
After reviewing the case file brought by Sato Miwako and cross-referencing the information and memories of the case, Senichi gained a clearer understanding of the case.
The trigger for this movie version case was a suicide case involving a doctor named Jinno.
At that time, investigators found a suicide note apologizing for a surgical mistake during the search of his computer. Consequently, the investigating detectives concluded it was a suicide and closed the case.
However, there were objections, particularly from the deceased's sister. In her testimony, she claimed that her brother was an incompetent doctor who never cared about the life or death of his patients and that he couldn't have committed suicide to apologize for a surgical mistake.
Moreover, a week before the incident, she witnessed her brother having a heated argument with a young man with purple-dyed hair in front of a warehouse.
For the sake of caution, Detective Tomonari brought Sato Miwako, Narasawa, and Shiba to the warehouse.
According to the investigation, the warehouse had been rented as a base for a band, and the young man with purple hair was likely a member of that music band.
When the four arrived, there was no one in front of the warehouse, so they temporarily held their positions and waited for the suspect to arrive.
However, because of the extremely hot weather that day, Detective Tomonari suddenly had a heart attack.
Although Sato Miwako wanted to call an ambulance at that time, Detective Tomonari stopped her, saying not to alert the suspect during the mission, and prepared to take a taxi to the hospital.
Later, when Sato Miwako caught up, she found Detective Tomonari lying on the ground.
Even though Sato Miwako raced to the hospital, Detective Tomonari still passed away during surgery.
The subsequent case was eventually classified as a suicide.
And Senichi also knew that the reason for defining it as suicide was because the young man with purple hair was related to the criminal department...
He was the son of Chief superintendent Toshiro Odagiri.
And everything began right here.
After Detective Tomonari's death, his son, Tomonari Makoto, questioned why they didn't call an ambulance and bluntly stated that they had killed his father and he would never forgive them.
Shortly after this, both Detective Narasawa and Detective Shiba requested transfers.
Afterward, it became the root cause of the upcoming movie version case.
One day, Chief superintendent Toshiro Odagiri discovered a lighter in his son's room with the name of the deceased, Doctor Jinno, engraved on it.
After he questioned his son, Toshiya. Toshiya admitted to extorting money from Doctor Jinno.
Upon learning this, Chief superintendent Toshiro Odagiri immediately contacted Detective Narasawa to reopen the investigation.
What happened next is quite tricky.
Due to Detective Tomonari's death and his son's accusations, Detective Narazaki sought psychological guidance due to mental issues.
However, the psychologist turned out to be the culprit who killed Doctor Jinno.
This was a bit painful..
