Osaka Police Station, Hattori Heizo's office.
Looking at the two photos on the table, Hattori Heizo thought deeply.
The photos show two victims who died in two places, Toyonaka City and Hirakata City. There were no witnesses to the two murders, and they were dozens of kilometers apart.
The only commonality in the photos is that the murderer's knife penetrated the wallet in the coat pocket and stabbed the victim in the chest.
"Dong dong" knock on the door.
"Come in," Hattori Heizo said after coming back to his senses.
The door opened and a middle-aged man walked in, Toyama Ginshiro, a subordinate of Hattori Heizo, the criminal director of the Osaka Police Department, and the father of Toyama Kazuha.
"Minister, we just received another murder case. It is exactly the same as the previous two murder cases. The victim had a knife inserted in his chest, penetrated his wallet and inserted it into his chest." Ginshiro Toyama reported after entering.
"It seems to be a case of serial murder..."
Hearing this, Hattori Heizo narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and said: "Toyama, notify us and immediately find out the identity of this victim, and whether he knows the previous two victims or whether he has any grudges with anyone. ...".
"Yes, I'll do it right away," Toyama Ginshiro responded, just as he was about to turn around and go out.
Hattori Heizo added: "There is also the robber and murderer Numabuchi Kiichiro in the distant mountains. Speed up the manpower search and make sure to arrest him as soon as possible."
"I understand." Toyama Ginshiro nodded, left the room and closed the door.
...
Osaka Police Station Higashijiri Branch.
After a murder was reported outside the okonomiyaki shop, Situ Xiu and others were brought here for routine questioning.
After the police's questioning was over, Situ Xiu and others sat together and talked about the murder case.
"In the three murder cases, knives penetrated the wallet and stabbed the chest, and they were all strangled to death. The first person killed, Hidetoshi Nagao, was a convenience store manager, and the second person killed, Tadai Nishiguchi, was the proprietress of an izakaya. , and the third victim, Noyasu Kazuto, was a taxi driver.”
Hattori Heiji paused and continued: "None of the three victims were killed because of money, and so far these three people have no connection...".
"No connection?" Mouri Kogoro frowned slightly.
Hattori Heiji nodded and said: "Yes, from the place of birth, the school he attended and the place where he works, although they are all in Osaka, the locations are completely different."
After listening to Hattori Heiji's words, Conan secretly thought for a while, looked at Situ Xiu, then patted Situ Xiu, and said: "What you just said was not a coincidence. What does this mean? Did you find anything suspicious again?" place".
"A little bit, but..."
Situ Xiu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You may not believe me if I tell you, so forget it, I'd better not say it."
Conan said hehe, then rolled his eyes at Situ Xiu and said, "If you don't tell me, how do you know I don't believe it?"
"Didn't Hattori say it was a coincidence? Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it." Situ Xiu curled his lips.
coincide?
He had to fall in front of their car!
Situ Xiu didn't think so. The victim had been dead for a day and was tied to the roof of the building by the murderer. When they were about to leave, the owner of the teahouse received a call from the murderer and went to the roof to open the door. The victim fell on the spot and happened to be upstairs. Below is their car.
If you don't come early, you won't come late, but now.
It seems like a coincidence, but if you think about it in another direction, it is also a premeditation.
After listening to Situ Xiu's words, Conan thought for a moment and frowned: "Are you saying that Yusuke Sakata is suspicious? This is impossible. He is a policeman. How could he do such a thing?"
"It's amazing that you can guess this." Situ Xiu raised his thumb.
Conan's face was speechless. Who was he, the famous detective drum washing machine? How could he come out to fool around if he couldn't even guess this.
"I came here repeatedly. The car was parked where Yusuke Sakata was parked. It was also where he found us when we wanted to eat okonomiyaki. When we were about to leave, the victim happened to fall off. This is too many coincidences! Wait. ....”
Situ Xiu paused, looked at Conan, and then said in surprise: "I know, if this is not a coincidence, the three of you are so powerful together that even the victim wants to smash you to death so that you can eliminate harm for the people." .
"..." Conan had a black line on his forehead and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
MMP, this can all be related to us.
We simply don't go out.
Conan couldn't help but vomit in his heart, but Situ Xiu's words also made sense. Of course, it was not the reason that the three of them were together, but that these three coincidences of Sakata Yusuke were very suspicious and worthy of deep thought.
Situ Xiu looked at Hattori Heiji and said to Conan: "Hattori thought it was a coincidence. That was because he did not believe that Sakata Yusuke would make such a mistake as a police officer, so he ignored Sakata Yusuke as a suspect."
"But I'm different. I was suspicious of everyone during the incident. Even you, Conan, I sometimes suspected was Kaitou Kidd in disguise."
Listening to Situ Xiu's words, Conan showed his dead eyes and said hehehe...
Then Conan rolled his eyes at Situ Xiu and said with a smile: "It makes sense. Why don't you come and solve this case? Since you suspect Yusuke Sakata, you should have evidence, right?"
Situ Xiu shook his head and said: "I'm not interested in the case. I'm not a detective at all. I never look for evidence...I...just tell you my reasoning. Believe it or not." You, just like you three get together, I don’t need evidence to predict that something will happen.”
Another premonition, damn it!
The corner of Conan's mouth twitched twice. At this moment, Haiyuan Ai beside him said, "I heard it."
Situ Xiu turned to look at Haiyuan Ai and smiled faintly: "Classmate Xiao Ai, it's wrong to eavesdrop on other people's conversations."
"I'm not the only one, you see they all heard it." Haibara Ai smiled slightly and pointed at Hattori Heiji, Mouri Kogoro, Xiaolan, Koizumi Anko, and Kazuha who were gathered around the table.
Then he saw that all these people were looking at Situ Xiu, and then Koizumi Hongzi glared at Situ Xiu and said, "Xiao Xiu, don't talk nonsense...".
Situ Xiu laughed dryly: "Haha, I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."
"Damn..." Hattori Heiji twitched the corner of his mouth twice.
He heard it, and the kid said behind his back that something would happen if the three of them got together.
MMP, this is all a problem with the rollers and has nothing to do with me.
And that nightmare, also related to rollers.
Hattori Heiji is too difficult. Every time he is with Drunk and Uncle Mori, he will encounter a murder.
Just at this moment, Sakata Yusuke ran in from outside the door and said excitedly: "Heiji, yes, we have found the common ground between the victims."
"Really?" Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up and he stood up.
Sakata Yusuke handed a tape in his hand to Hattori Heiji and said with a smile: "This is the video tape. I just borrowed it from the TV station. You can understand it after watching it."
Hattori Heiji took the videotape, and Sakata Yusuke ran to find a TV that played the tape, so everyone watched the videotape together.
In the picture, a group of reporters gathered around a car. There was a middle-aged man outside the car. Hattori Heiji stared at the picture and said, "Is this an interview with Sotaro Goji, a member of the prefectural assembly, when he was suspected of corruption six years ago? "
"I've seen the news. It's said to be about the incident where the secretary was asked to resign..."
Mouri Kogoro pinched his chin, looked at the man in the picture, and then said: "I remember that the secretary's last name seems to be Nagao...eh...".
Mouri Kogoro paused and said in surprise: "Nagao? Is he the first victim?"
"Hmm~" Hattori Heiji nodded, and then said: "The man standing next to the car blocking the reporter's interview was the first victim of the murder, Nagao Hidetoshi...but...".
Hattori Heiji looked back at Sakata Yusuke and asked doubtfully: "Isn't this corruption incident over? Why are you still showing it to me?"
"What he wants you to look at is not the people outside, but the third victim, Noyasu Kazuto, who is sitting in front of the car."
Situ Xiu said calmly, looking at the man in front of the car, who looked exactly like the third victim.
Sakata Yusuke glanced at Situ Xiu deeply, while Hattori Heiji on the side looked at the screen and said in shock: "It's really Kazuto Noyasu, this...".
"Yes, I heard that four years ago he seemed to be the driver of the Goji Councilor," Sakata Yusuke nodded.
"The former secretary and driver?" Hattori Heiji pinched his chin and said, "It seems that Councilor Goji may be related to this incident...".
"Because of this, the seniors in the department have already gone to the hometown secretary..." Sakata Yusuke said.
"I heard that he is famous for hating the police. If you go there, you won't be able to see him," Mouri Kogoro said with his arms crossed.
Conan held his chin and was deep in thought when he was suddenly hugged by Hattori Heiji. Hattori Heiji then turned around and glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "How will you know if you don't try, Mr. Sakata, I think we should go there and have a look."
"Hey... let's leave this kind of thing to the police," Mouri Kogoro shouted.
"No, how could I let the hateful murderer ruin your trip to Osaka..."
Hattori Heiji waved his hand, and then said with a smile: "Just go to my house with Kazuha."
After saying something to Kazuha, Hattori Heiji left the room, followed closely by Sakata Yusuke.
Situ Xiu looked at Haibara and lamented: "Did you see Hattori holding Conan in his arms? They are such a good pair of chickens. They hug each other when they go out."
Hearing this, Hui Yuan Ai glanced around the room, and sure enough, Conan was not seen.
She wondered: "Strange, why did Hei Hattori take Conan away?"
"Didn't I say it? They have a deep friendship and like to be together."
Situ Xiu smiled. Conan's identity was known to Hattori Heiji, but Haibara Ai didn't know that the identity of the drum washing machine was exposed to others, so he asked this question.
Haiyuan Ai rolled his eyes at Situ Xiu, "Hey, hey, hey... Do you know the true meaning of gay friends?"
What a little brat is talking nonsense here...
Hui Yuan Ai was vomiting in her heart, she couldn't understand, this little kid didn't act like a child every time he spoke. Even though he was so young, he spoke like an adult.
If she hadn't known about Situ Xiu's family background, Haiyuan Ai would have suspected that this little kid had taken the pill she developed and became smaller.
However, I thought that this kind of drug is only available in organizations and is strictly controlled. Ordinary people cannot get this kind of drug at all. In fact, this kind of drug is developed to kill people invisible. In other words, what the organization develops is poison, and no one knows how to kill people. become smaller.
When Hui Yuan Ai first took this medicine, she took it with the hope of death, because her only sister died and she had no one to rely on.
"Hey, why is Conan missing?" Xiaolan glanced at the room.
Mouri Kogoro looked around and snorted: "Where did that kid go? It always makes people worry."
"Are you going to the bathroom?" Koizumi Hongzi asked.
"Uncle Maori, Conan must be following to investigate the case."
Situ Xiu smiled and looked at Mouri Kogoro. Sure enough, after hearing this, Moori Kogoro clenched his fists and said angrily: "Damn you kid, you sneaked away to investigate the case again...".
"Conan is really..." Xiaolan frowned slightly. Based on her understanding of Conan, she would definitely follow him when he encountered a case.
Conan, you're done!
Situ Xiu was smiling all over his face, while Koizumi Hongzi shook her head helplessly. This little guy knows how to cause trouble.
"Don't be anxious, just wait here. I'll make a call and I'll be back soon." He said something to Ye and walked out of the room.
...
On the other side, Yusuke Sakata was driving, Heiji Hattori was sitting in the passenger seat, and Conan was sitting in the back seat.
Looking at Yusuke Sakata, Conan's face showed solemnity. According to Situ Xiu's reasoning, the suspect was probably him.
But....
Why did Yusuke Sakata do this!
And if Sakata Yusuke killed people, why did he still take them with him?
Moreover, Yusuke Sakata also found this clue about Councilor Goji.
Conan thought deeply that he could not expose Yusuke Sakata until the cause of the crime was found.
Yusuke Sakata, who was driving the car, suddenly said: "By the way, Heiji, the address and phone number of the woman you think is suspicious... I have found it out from the license plate number. Her name is Sumie Okazaki, 39 years old, last year. Divorced. I seem to be living alone in a Saito apartment near Midosuji. Would you like to check it out first?"
"Midosuji? Isn't this the road?"
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then let's go and see. Maybe that woman will know something."
"Then I'll make a call first to see if she's at home." Yusuke Sakata took out his phone and pressed it.
Seeing Yusuke Sakata driving, Conan quickly said: "Uncle, let me help you fight."
"Thank you, kid, I've got through." Yusuke Sakata smiled.
"Uh..." Conan responded, looking at Yusuke Sakata solemnly.
Hattori Heiji, who was in the passenger seat, put his chin on his hand and tilted his head. He had no idea that Situ Xiu and Conan had reasoned that the suspect was Sakata Yusuke.
"Hello, Ms. Okazaki, I am the Osaka Police Department..."
After the call was connected, Sakata Yusuke introduced himself and chatted with the person on the other end of the phone. After a minute, he suddenly shouted: "Calm down, don't open the door, we will be here soon."
Conan's expression changed, and he stood up, sitting next to Sakata Yusuke's seat, trying to hear clearly what was on his phone.
Hattori Heiji said: "Mr. Sakata, we have passed the Saito Apartment."
"Ah..." Sakata Yusuke was stunned for a moment, glanced at the nearby traffic, and then said: "Oops, we are on a crowded road now, and it will take a lot of time to drive back."
"Run, it's the only way to go faster."
Hattori Heiji opened the car door and got out of the car, and ran quickly, followed by Conan who got out of the car.
....
After running for a while, Conan and Hattori Heiji arrived downstairs at Saito Apartment. Both of them were panting and inhaling heavily.
Conan took a deep breath, looked at Hattori Heiji with a serious face and said, "Hattori, you should have heard the conversation between me and Xiaoxiu just now. Don't you have anything to say?".
"Whatever you say, that's all your problem and has nothing to do with me." Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes.
"!!!" Conan had a black question mark on his forehead.
Seeing the confusion on Conan's face, Hattori Heiji explained: "When you didn't come, I rarely encountered murder cases. It was just the first day you and Uncle Mouri came here, and a murder happened. You can say with your conscience that this has something to do with me." what relationship".
"Nani?" Conan looked confused.
Am I asking you this?
It doesn’t matter if you didn’t hear it, you actually distanced yourself from the relationship and blamed the murder case entirely on us.
Are you asking about my conscience?
Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you said such words?
