Hearing Sotakuya's question, Sakata Yusuke couldn't help but feel in awe.
As expected of the section chief, he had already guessed what was going on at the scene before anyone arrived.
Thinking of this, Sakata Yusuke's tone couldn't help but become more respectful: "Yes, Section Chief, in addition to Heiji, there is also a Mori detective from Tokyo."
"By the way, it seems that Mr. Mori is bringing his family to Osaka to play. Miss Xiaolan and little Conan are also here."
Hearing that Conan was also present, Sotakuya showed a clear expression.
Right, as long as Conan is present at the scene, it will be the most authentic murder case in the world of Ke Xue.
So Takuya has completely ruled out the possibility of suicide - it must be suicide! How could suicide happen so easily in a place where Conan is around?
"Pay attention to your surroundings, Sakata, I'll go over now.
By the way, was this murder committed by those third-party personnel who tracked the tour group members? "
Sotakuya suddenly remembered the suspicious third party mentioned by Sakata Yusuke, so he asked.
"It's not them." Yusuke Sakata replied affirmatively: "Those people basically won't show up when members of the tour group travel together, just like"
"It's as if there are their accomplices in the tour group." Sotakuya smoothly picked up Yusuke Sakata's guess.
In fact, Sotakuya had doubts in this regard after learning about the strange behavior of suspicious third-party personnel.
When tour group members travel separately, in order to keep track of their movements, third-party forces will send people to follow them.
When the members of the tour group gather together, since there are already people from the three parties in the group, there is no need to send additional people to follow them.
So, who is the third-party spy hidden in the tour group?
When Sotakuya hung up the phone, both Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjirou put away their phones in the private room.
So Sotakuya asked tentatively: "Is it a case at the castle tower?"
Toyama Ginshiro nodded: "It seems that we will start a joint search now."
After asking the hotel to find a driver, Sotakuya and the other two took a car to the castle tower.
When the car drove near the castle tower, Hattori Heizo noticed the media who had arrived around the murder scene and started taking pictures. He frowned slightly and asked the driver to stop the car.
Hattori Heizo, as the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, is no longer able to approach this kind of scene. Once Hattori Heizo appears on the scene, the media will inevitably pay more attention to this incident.
Excessive exposure is not conducive to the investigation of the case.
After receiving the signal from Hattori Heizo's eyes, Toyama Ginshiro made a phone call and called the Otaki Police Department in charge of the scene.
Officer Otaki is a member of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters' Criminal Investigation Department. His existence to Hattori Heiji is similar to that of Megure Thirteen to Kudo Shinichi.
They are all tools placed by high school detectives in the police (laughs).
After receiving the order from Ginshiro Toyama, the Otaki Police Department rushed over immediately, and then narrated the case in detail to the three people in the car.
When the Otaki Police Department mentioned that the members of this tour group not only traveled, but also played role-playing during the trip, Sotakuya felt a chill.
To be honest, Sotakuya, a Japanese, feels that this kind of behavior is too middle-class.
I really admire how much fun these middle-aged people, the youngest of whom are in their 30s and 40s, are having so much fun.
Sotakuya adjusted his sitting posture slightly and secretly glanced at Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginshiro.
All I can say is that he is truly worthy of being a boss, and he remains so calm after hearing such an embarrassing situation.
Otaki Police Department covered up his embarrassment with a dry cough and then talked about the case.
When he mentioned that the deceased Kato Yuji tried to grab the umbrella in Hattori Heiji's hand before his death, Sotakuya frowned.
Speaking of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, we have to mention his Horse Seal "Golden Tang Umbrella". It just so happened that the role to be played today was selected by lottery every day in Taiko Hideyoshi's eight-day tour group.
The person selected to become Toyotomi Hideyoshi today is the youngest member of the tour group - Wakisaka Shigehiko.
Wakisaka
The deceased's death message pointed directly to Wakisaka Shigehiko, and Zong Takuya also found his motive for the murder from his surname.
Wakisaka Masakiyoshi and Wakisaka Shigehiko, who were killed 13 years ago, both had the same surname: Wakisaka. Judging from their age, Wakisaka Shigehiko was almost exactly the grandson of Wakisaka Masakiyoshi.
If the motives for murder were made into a fan diagram, vendetta would definitely occupy a large part of the area.
Sotakuya, who deduced the real culprit from the Otaki Police Department's narrative, immediately wanted to discuss it with Hattori Heizo, but when he turned around, he found that Hattori Heizo had already dismissed the Otaki Police Department in a few words.
"Headmaster Hattori, I probably know who the murderer is."
"You mean to say Wakisaka Shigehiko, right?"
"ah?
Since you know everything, how can you pay it back?"
Sou Takuya was a little surprised. Since Hattori Heizo had already determined who the real murderer was, why did he so blithely let the Otaki Police Department return to the scene?
It's not that Sotakuya looks down on the Otaki Police Department, but the fact is that the capabilities of this police department are probably equivalent to those of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Megure Thirteen.
The advantage of the Otaki Police Department over Megure Jusan is probably that by the time Hattori Heiji enters the Metropolitan Police Department, the Otaki Police Department may be able to do the same thing as a dragon.
This is a die-hard loyal minister who stands beside the "Prince" of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.
Ginshiro Toyama, who was also sitting in the back seat, answered Sotakuya's doubts. He picked up the evidence bag just delivered by the Otaki Police Department and handed it to the co-pilot Sotakuya.
A piece of pottery with gold chips stained on its inner wall was placed in a transparent evidence bag.
"13Three years ago, a charred corpse was found in the moat of Osaka Castle, because there was no identification document on the body, and the moat severely damaged the corpse's information.
So the case has never been solved. "
“But on the body, we found a gourd-shaped pottery piece with the inscription 893 on it.
On the pottery we found half a fingerprint left on it.
The inner wall of that pottery sherd was just like this one, stained with bits and pieces of gold. "
After talking about Hattori Heizo, Toyama Ginshiro continued: "After the unknown charred corpse case, there were multiple robbery and murder cases in Osaka. Because the crime scenes were highly similar in style, the Search Section 1 merged the cases.
At one of the crime scenes, a gangster accidentally left his voice and a fingerprint behind.
After comparison, half of the fingerprints on the burnt pottery shards were highly similar to the fingerprints left in the robbery and murder case. "
"Officer Zong, do you know what this means?"
Zong Takuya nodded: "This means that there is a high probability that the charred corpse case has some unknown connection with the serial robbery and murder cases, and today's case may also have some connection with the two cases from that year."
"No, it should be said that these three cases are inevitably connected!"
Zong Takuya said firmly to the two of them.
