【Conan】I just want to survive but I am forced to join the main plot

After taking care of Numabuchi Kiichiro, Wakagi Ryo returned to the hotel where he temporarily stayed and sent Gin an email.

Five minutes later, Gin did not respond, but Rum sent two messages.

"Member of the Township Committee."

There is no grudge between this congressman and the organization itself. It is purely because he and the congressman supported by Rum are political enemies, so he was targeted by this one-eyed boss.

After replying "OK" to Rum, Wakagi Ryo took the initiative to call Hattori Heiji (the Sherlock Holmes fans had left each other's contact information).

"Hattori, how's the situation?"

"Ah, Brother Ruomu, are you okay? We are looking for clues at the police station now. Do you want to find someone to pick you up?"

Wakamu Ryo raised his eyebrows: "There is only so much space inside the police car. How can you and I fit in there? Oh, I know. Heiji is also a scheming boy. If I sit in the passenger seat, you Sit in the back seat and let Kazuo sit on top of you. It can barely fit in, right?"

Sit, sit on...

Hattori Heiji, who was driving outside, went red from his forehead to his heels, and his brain was so short-circuited that he forgot that he could even drive another car.

Conan twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Hattori Heiji with the eyes of someone who had experienced it. Then he reached out and patted Hattori's shoulder as hard as a big brother.

Wakamu-san's bad taste was always teasing him and Xiaoran when he was in Tokyo. Now in Osaka, the unlucky ones have become Hattori and Kazuha.

"Okay, no kidding, what clues are there in the current case?"

Hattori Heiji was still down for the time being, and Conan climbed onto the table and took the phone from Hattori's hand.

"Brother Ruomu, including the person who was smashed down outside the hotel before, there are currently three victims in this case. Each of them had a dagger piercing the wallet on the chest of the deceased, and then piercing the heart of the deceased. But for now, there is no Find something in common among the three deceased people.

The first victim, Nagao Hidetoshi, was the president of a certain supermarket, the second victim, Nishiguchi Tashiro, was the proprietress of an izakaya, and the victim who appeared today, Noyasu Kazuto, was a taxi driver. "

"What's in the wallet?"

After Ruomu Liang listened to Conan's words, he suddenly asked.

"Eh?" Conan turned his attention to Hattori Heiji. After all, he had never seen the first two victims.

Hattori: "The wallet contains some cash, a few bank cards, and a driver's license."

Ruomu Liang: "If there is a driver's license in every wallet, go check it."

Sakata Yusuke:? ?

He held the videotape that he had prepared long ago to divert the police's attention to Councilor Goji Sotaro, and froze in place.

Then I couldn't help but think about the strange message I received early this morning, which was automatically destroyed after reading it.

Hattori and Conan seemed to understand something and suddenly fell into a state of thinking.

Kogoro Mori, who was also listening in, asked casually, "Why a driver's license?"

Wakaki Ryo: “Because the murderer’s behavior pattern is very ritualistic, serial murderers who follow established patterns in history can usually be roughly divided into three categories.

The first type is for murderers to express some kind of psychological appeal. However, the targets of this type of people often pursue physical appearance. Even if the targets are not young and beautiful boys and girls, they will have certain similarities in appearance. For example, the famous serial murderer Jack the Ripper in history.

The second type is a sacrificial murderer who believes in a cult. This can also be ruled out. I did not see any religious-related elements on the corpse. Moreover, this type of murderer is actually more common in Europe and the United States, where there are many chaotic sects.

The third type is the revenge murderer. It is very likely that these deceased people had participated in a certain case in the past, and now that the relatives of the victims have found out the truth, they have come back to take revenge.

I noticed that you knew the identity of the deceased immediately after discovering the body without conducting further investigation, because there must be something in the wallet that can prove the identity of the deceased.

The murderer wanted to use this method to declare to other people who participated in this incident that I am here to claim the lives of the crimes you committed back then.

As for why you are asked to check the driver's license, it is because if these deceased people had no intersection in work and life, the only way for these people with different identities to get to know each other would probably be through a training camp before taking the driver's license test. "

Sakata Yusuke:! ! !

There was never a moment when he felt like he was completely exposed in front of someone, without any secrets at all.

Conan, who has become accustomed to it, and Hattori Heiji, who was caught off guard by a spoiler:...

"Heiji, I have found out the license plate number you gave me. It is a woman named Sumie Okazaki. This is her home address."

Hattori turned around and said to Officer Otaki: "Officer Otaki, please go to Ms. Okazaki's house with Officer Sakata to protect her. This woman is very likely to be the next person in this serial murder case. victim."

Officer Otaki's expression immediately changed, and he pulled Sakata and rushed out of the office.

Wakaki Ryo: "One more thing, Hattori."

"what?"

"Although what I said is just speculation, if it is really revenge after many years, the murderer can accurately find the addresses of these people in such a short period of time. It is very likely that they are people within the system, such as Internal work at the household registration office or the police.”

Hattori Heiji's expression was solemn for a moment, but then he pretended to smile nonchalantly: "It's impossible, Wakagi-san. I know everyone in the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department. It's impossible for them to do such a thing. Wakagi-san, on the other hand, You are really amazing at being able to analyze so many things without being there."

Ruomu Liang: "Compared to you who are obsessed with finding clues, I am actually better at thinking from the perspective of the murderer. After all, I have killed so many people."

Hattori Heiji:! ! !

"In the comics."

Wakamaki slowly added the second half of the sentence. This pause scared Hattori Heiji to break out in a cold sweat. After reacting, he immediately turned into an expression of (???).

"Brother Ruomu, please don't gasp when you talk next time. Okay, you can have a good rest in the hotel first. I'll ask Heye to pick you up. You must go to my house for dinner in the evening. My mother's cooking is amazing!"

After hanging up the phone, Hattori Heiji said to Kazuha: "Kazuha, take Uncle Mouri and Xiaolan to my house first, and pick up Brother Wakaki at the hotel by the way. I'll go and interrupt your trip to Osaka. The criminals must be brought to justice!”

-----------------------------

Yusuke Sakata performed the autopsy on Okazaki Sumie calmly on the surface, but in fact all he could think about was the message he had received inexplicably in the morning.

The call he made at the police station just now gave him an unprecedented sense of urgency.

"The deceased's name was Sumie Okazaki. She was 39 years old. The cause of death was that a strip was strangled around her neck. The murderer probably strangled her and then pierced the wallet with a knife and fixed it on her chest."

Since they were coming with the Otaki Police Department, they naturally drove a police car. Therefore, the two taxis of the same model that Sakata prepared at the beginning were not used. However, he still found an opportunity, and while Otaki and him were temporarily separated, he called Okazaki Sumie and asked her to leave the house and hide in a nearby public toilet.

Pretending to be ignorant again, he and Officer Otaki arrived at the empty Okazaki house. Then, in order to improve efficiency, naturally he and Otaki split up to look for people in the community.

And took the opportunity to kill Okazaki Sumie.

It's too rough. The way it was done this time was too rough.

Without convincing Heiji Mobe and the detective from Tokyo, his colleague from the Otaki Police Department, if they gave him enough time, he would be able to discover his flaws in this hasty case.

But he had no better way. Once Okazaki Sumie was protected by the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department, it would be difficult for him to find another chance to kill this woman.

"What did you say?!"

The Otaki Police Department shouted into the phone.

"What's wrong, Otaki-senpai?"

"There was an accidental fire in the Yumian forest. After the fire brigade put out the fire, a body was found in the charred wooden house. After investigation by colleagues from the forensics department, the deceased was suspected to be the robber and murderer Numabuchiro Kiichiro who had been on the run."

"what!"

Kiichiro Numabuchi is dead?

The last escape route he had reserved for himself was gone.

After Otaki Police Department hurriedly explained, he picked up his cell phone and started making calls.

At this moment, Yusuke Sakata's phone vibrated, and a message appeared on his phone.

[You have no way out, Mr. Officer, what are your thoughts? ——Dr.M】

The next second, the information is automatically destroyed, and no trace can be found again.
