Driving back to the city.
Ye Geng was busy thinking about the completion of the action plan.
After seeing that Conan would rather skip school and devote all his attention to investigating the case, Belmode came to find him.
Thanks to Ireland concealing intelligence and wanting to use Kudo Shinichi's matter against Gin, otherwise the plan would not have been implemented so smoothly.
I really don’t know if they are lucky or not...
As soon as Ye Geng gathered his thoughts, he received a call from Gao Mushe:
"Hello? Officer Takagi."
"Well, Mr. Ye, it's like this..."
Takagi Wataru said:
"Early this morning, witnesses discovered the body of the seventh victim, Sumire Shindo, in Koryo Park in Kanagawa Prefecture. The management officer asked me to call everyone to inform everyone that a search meeting will continue at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Well, I'll be there on time." Ye Gengyi said, "Is there anything else?"
"Uh, no, bye."
On a certain overpass on the section from Mika Town to Hachioji City.
Takagi Wataru hung up the phone and turned to look at Miwako Sato, "Officer Sato...Mr. Ye was the same as before and didn't ask me about the situation at the murder scene."
"Yes, he has the exact opposite personality from Mr. Mori." Miwako Sato said.
"Um..." Takagi Wataru scratched his head, a little confused, "Officer Sato, what on earth are you talking about?"
Sato Miwako did not answer directly, but held on to the railing and looked down, "We almost had a car accident here yesterday."
"Well, it's really thrilling."
Takagi Wataru also looked at the busy traffic below, "Now that I think about it, I'm still sweating on my back."
"Don't you think it's strange?"
Miwako Sato said:
"How could both tires burst at the same time? For criminal police like us who rely heavily on cars to rush to the scene, Takagi...you should have done regular car inspections, right?"
"Could it be that someone scattered nails on the road?" Gao Mushe was confused.
"Sniper..."
"What?!"
"The tires may have been shot intentionally by someone. From our current position..."
Miwako Sato looked serious, "I remember a car parked here."
"ah?!"
Takagi Wataru was shocked, "Impossible? Can that serial murderer really do this..."
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, Takagi..."
Miwako Sato said:
"This idea may be a little unreasonable, but I always feel that in addition to the murderer, there is also a group of unknown people secretly intervening in this case."
"The identity is unknown, but is there really such a person..." Takagi Wataru was confused.
"At Miss Shindo's house, the same paint was stepped on twice, first on the paint tube, and then on the dried paint that had been squeezed out, and was stepped on again."
Sato Miwako analyzed: "This means that after Miss Shindo was taken away by the person who killed her, there were other people who went there to look for her."
"Uh..." Takagi Wataru hesitated, "But it's also possible that the murderer stayed at the scene and didn't leave until the paint dried, right?"
"Where is the woman who suddenly disappeared from Mihua Shopping Center?"
Sato Miwako said: "Her appearance is too coincidental. Maybe... maybe she is an accomplice of that group of people, and it is not necessarily that she ran to be a hostage on purpose!"
"But...but...what is this for?"
Takagi Wataru continued to be confused, "Officer Sato, are you thinking too much..."
"That's right. Maybe I think too much."
Sato Miwako took a deep breath and thought of all the people participating in the search meeting.
Takagi was still so slow, so she was relieved... But what about the others?
Although the people who did not participate in the arrest included the management officer, Mr. Mao Li and Mr. Ye, this does not rule out the possibility that others did not pass on the news.
...Should we ask the Megure Police Department to contact Kudo Shinichi?
Sato Miwako was caught in a tangle.
…
at the same time.
There is another person who is entangled and even panicked.
"The black knight's helmet was damaged..."
Conan looked at the email sent to him by Mao Lilan, and his pupils shrank and almost lost their color.
Something is seriously wrong. If the dolphin's dorsal fin and the black knight's helmet are taken away by that group of people, my identity may have been exposed...
what to do? What should I do?
We must come up with a countermeasure quickly, otherwise Xiaolan and her uncle will definitely be implicated.
But... they haven't taken action yet, are they waiting for an opportunity?
Or maybe I still can’t believe the fact that a high school student turned into a child.
correct!
It's a memory card. They must be looking for that memory card too. If I can find it before them, maybe I can reverse the current situation!
"It's a pity that I can't tell Brother Gengyi about this matter. Otherwise, if I discuss it with him, I can take the lead. Damn it..."
Conan scratched his head desperately:
"If the mahjong tiles are elevators, then what do the English letters and triangles mean... and the meanings of 'Qixi' and '京'... Huh?"
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the promotional poster nearby.
The Tanabata Festival event takes place in Kyoto!
Thinking about it, Conan immediately took out his cell phone and called Hattori Heiji:
"I am investigating the recent serial murder case. Hattori, let me ask you, if you mention Tanabata and Kyoto, can you think of any events?"
"Well..."
Hattori Heiji said:
"If I have to mention it, on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day the year before last, there was a fire in a restaurant called Vega in Kyoto."
"Please tell me more details!" Conan urged.
"Oh...let me think about it."
Hattori Heiji recalled for a moment and said helplessly:
"I'm sorry Kudo, because it seemed to be an accident, so I only remember that two guests seemed to have died because of it, and the rest was..."
"Hattori, go find out more about that fire!"
Conan emphasized: "The key point is to find out how many elevators there are in the hotel and the number of people the elevators can carry."
"Elevator? Check the number of passengers? Wait a minute Kudo..."
Hattori Heiji was originally paying attention to that case, and he immediately figured it out when he heard the prompt.
While preparing to skip school, he asked:
"Are you trying to say that the two people who died at that time were actually because they couldn't get on the elevator, so..."
"Ah, that's what I thought, because Brother Gengyi said that the mahjong tiles left at the scene most likely represent the elevator."
Conan paused, took a deep breath, and said: "Anyway, please leave it to Hattori. The only person I can think of who can help me... is you."
Kudo, what happened?
Hattori Heiji was stunned, but did not ask further questions and said, "Are there any other clues?"
"No more. If you find anything, please contact me."
"okay, I get it."
call ended.
Conan immediately ran towards the Mihua Library. He was unable to use the Metropolitan Police Department's internal network. If he wanted to track down the case that happened in Kyoto the year before, he had to look back through the newspapers.
As for why he called Hattori Heiji, in addition to the other party knowing his identity, it was also because it was shorter to go directly to Kyoto from Osaka.
This is perfect for him as time is his life.
Hope... we can all gain something.
