Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

The police found information about Okazaki through the license plate number. She was a housewife living in Toudou Apartment and had no contact with the victims of the serial murders.

Otaki also tentatively asked on the phone about the time of murder estimated by the forensic doctors in the previous two cases, where Okazaki was and what he was doing.

The aunt's answer was straightforward. One time she was in the hospital taking care of her mother who had a cold, and the other time she was at school to attend her daughter's parent-teacher meeting.

Otaki continued to report:

“Brother Lin Xuan, I have asked my colleague at the nearest police station to verify that there is no problem with her alibi.”

"Okazaki said he was too scared to see the body, so he drove away in a panic."

There is no doubt that Auntie is lying.

Even though her life was threatened, she still refused to reveal the truth about "that incident" twenty years ago when questioned by the police.

But at present, only Lin Xuan knows that the old lady is definitely a person related to the case.

Heiji was also listening to the report and he couldn't help but smile.

[The white-faced man's reasoning was overturned by Otaki's investigation results. It turned out that he was just lucky on the rooftop.]

[With Kudo's help, there's no way I can lose to this guy! ]

At this time, another foreign aid of Heiji also trotted into this corridor.

Yusuke Sakata, a detective from the Higashijiri Investigation Division of the Osaka Police Department.

This man wears glasses and looks very gentle to others, but he is actually an experienced and excellent criminal policeman.

Normally, when Heiji needed convenience from the police while investigating a case, he would ask Otaki for help. However, today, Otaki was ordered by his superior to be at Lin Xuan's disposal at any time, so Heiji had to call Sakata.

After all, his father is Hattori Hanzo and he has solved several cases before, so it would be difficult for the civil servants at the Osaka police stations to refuse Heiji's request.

After a few greetings, Hattori Heiji took Sakata away.

Otaki was afraid that a wrong inference would make Lin Xuan lose confidence, so he said to the guests invited by his leader:

"Brother Lin Xuan, feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as we can find out the truth as soon as possible, we police will cooperate."

But Lin Xuan seemed not to hear Otaki's voice. His eyes were fixed on the direction where Heiji and Sakata left.

Because just now, Lin Xuan heard an incredible sound.

[Sure enough, my plan was flawless]

[The third target of revenge is also dead, the next one is Okazaki's turn! ]

[And I miss Sotaro! I will never forget the grudge from 20 years ago]

[Father, I will kill them with my own hands! To avenge you!]

[This time I will use the son of the Hattori family and let the detective kid help me complete the alibi and find an opportunity to kill Okazaki! ]

The one who made these thoughts was Sakata Yusuke! He and Heiji had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Lin Xuan finally moved his lips:

"Officer Otaki, the guy wearing glasses just now was also a detective, right?"

"Of course. Sakata is my junior in the police academy. Although he is young, he has solved several major cases right after joining the police. He can be said to be a rising star in our Osaka police force."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but complain silently in his heart.

[666! ! ! 】

[The Osaka police are so wild. The real culprit of the serial murder case turned out to be an active detective. No wonder they found nothing after two weeks of investigation! ]

Lin Xuan lowered his voice and ordered:

"I want you to help me check this person, especially the situation of Sakata's parents."

"What?" Otaki couldn't help but suspect that he had heard it wrong. The detective from Tokyo actually suspected the criminal police?

Otaki does not discriminate against detectives, but he is more willing to trust his colleagues who work side by side with him than the boastful detectives, not to mention that the investigation of Mrs. Okazaki did not yield any valuable clues.

If Criminal Director Toyama had not given advance warning, Officer Otaki would not have been able to help but loudly refute Lin Xuan.

Although he has not yet obtained evidence, in order to prevent new victims from appearing, Lin Xuan must persuade Otaki to help:

"The criminal committed three crimes in a row without leaving any evidence. This shows that he is very familiar with the investigation methods of criminal police and forensic doctors. It is very likely that he is engaged in related professions or even mixed in the investigation team!"

Otaki still felt hesitant:

"All the elite officers of Osaka Prefecture have been assigned to investigate this case. Why do you only suspect Sakata?"

Suspecting his colleagues and conducting an investigation behind the scenes, if Sakata is innocent, it will be difficult to resolve the matter once it becomes a big deal.

Officer Otaki is known as Osaka Takagi. Although he has a straightforward personality, his mind is often stuck.

Lin Xuan originally wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but there was no need to do so.

With red eyes, He Ye came into this corridor from the corner. The amulet she had been carrying since childhood had been thrown into the trash can.

In the past, He Ye always accompanied Heiji in investigating cases, but from now on, she wants to always stand by Lin Xuan's side.

"Uncle Otaki."

Kazuha looked at his father's subordinates.

"I heard from my father that Lin Xuan has solved many cases in Tokyo. Since we have asked him to help, we should trust Lin Xuan's judgment."

This reminded Otaki of Toyama Ginjiro's order, that he was asked to assist Lin Xuan, so he had to cooperate with any request made by the high school detective.

Otaki sighed helplessly and had to do as Lin Xuan instructed.

Lin Xuan also knew that Heiji's words had hurt He Ye's heart. He gently held the girl's hand, and He Ye buried her head directly in Lin Xuan's chest.

[Hattori Heiji, I have treated you like a younger brother since you were a child]

[But you actually treated me as a stake in a boring game. I will never talk to you again! ]

……

Twenty years ago, Yusuke Sakata was not yet in elementary school. His father was a driving school instructor who supported the family by working alone.

But suddenly one day, his father got into an accident due to drunk driving and the car was destroyed and everyone was killed. However, in Sakata's memory, his father had always been a meticulous person and would never drive after drinking.

In order to find out the truth about his father's death, Sakata was admitted to the police academy and became a criminal policeman. A few months ago, he finally found out everything that happened.

It turned out that the father, as a coach, was very strict with the students and this caused hatred. Six students got the father drunk and stuffed him into a car with a brake failure, which led to the tragedy of the car being destroyed and people dying that night.

The Osaka police's investigation into the victim's social relations only dates back three or four years at most, and his father died twenty years ago, not to mention that the six students tacitly cut off contact after the tragedy that year.

That’s why the police mistakenly believed that there was no connection between the victims of the serial murders!

Sakata, who killed three people in a row to avenge his father, was following Conan and Hattori as if he was their younger brother.

Neither of the two detectives realized that the real murderer was the kind detective standing nearby.

"Conan," Heiji changed the subject in time: "Why do you think the murderer would go to such lengths?"

All three victims were strangled with a rope, then stabbed with a knife through the wallet in the coat pocket, and finally the murderer stabbed the knife into the heart of the corpse.

Conan remained silent. The murderer must have some special meaning behind his behavior, but Conan couldn't figure out the reason.

The murderer couldn't stand it anymore, and he came up with a plan to use the detective to help him create an alibi.

But Sakata never expected that the son of the Hattori family would be so stupid, so he had to give some hints.
