Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Seventh
On Saturday, May 9, at around 12:40 noon, a conference room at the Naniwa Police Station in Osaka.
Sakata Yusuke, who was watching the video when Moori and his party came back, said: "You guys came just in time, Heiji, this is the tape just sent from the headquarters, and the meeting of the headquarters has been held for this person until now." Pressing pause while speaking key, point to a person in the painting.
"This is," Hattori was taken aback, "Goji Sotaro!"
"Who is it?" Molly asked.
"Isn't this fat driver the corpse just now?" Mei Daizi asked, pointing at a person on the screen.
"It's really him." Sonoko said.
Sakata Yusuke said: "His name is Noyasu Kazuto, and he has been serving as the driver of the Goji Councilor until four years ago."
"No way? Could it be that the murderer is the Township Secretary?" He Ye was taken aback.
"Even if it's not, it has something to do with him." Hattori pointed to a person on the screen, "This is the first victim, Mr. Hidetoshi Nagao, his secretary."
"I remembered that six years ago, a secretary surnamed Nagao stood up to take responsibility for the corruption incident of a member of the Osaka Prefecture Assembly called Goji. In other words, the second victim, Ms. Tadayo Nishiguchi, also It may be related to the events of that year." Mao Li said, "But if you want to kill him, you should have done it six years ago."
"I heard that he plans to go one step further and enter the Diet." Yusuke Sakata said, "Maybe it's to completely cover up the past."
"Chairman Xiangsi is notorious for hating the police. Now that this video tape has been released, it means that Dad is going to move him." Hattori said, and then asked, "Who is leading the team now?"
"Minister Toyama personally brought people there." Sakata Yusuke said.
"Kazuba's father? Then I'll take a look around too," Hattori said, "Officer Sakata, please take me there." Then he said to Maori, "Uncle, let Kazuha accompany you to the hotel."
He Ye said: "Pingji, everyone has been found, why are you still going there?"
"The prisoner who messed up my carefully planned trip to Osaka," Hattori straightened his hat, "how can I let him go so easily."
He Ye asked: "Then Heiji, did you bring that amulet?"
"I'm taking it, don't worry." Hattori waved his hand, and left with Sakata Yusuke.
Sonoko asked, "Which amulet is?"
He Ye said: "It's the amulet I gave Heiji, and it has always protected Heiji's safety."
Maori smiled and said, "It's true."
"I'm not talking nonsense. I forgot to bring the amulet last time, and I was seriously injured in the kendo competition in Heiji." He Ye said, "There are only two of them in this world, and they are very, very important amulets."
"Two?" Sonoko asked, "Could it be the same as yours?"
"That's right, I also secretly put the fragments of the handcuffs into Heiji's amulet." He Ye said.
"Okay, let's go too," Maori said.
"Huh? Where's Conan?" Lan asked.
"I went out earlier, let's go to the bathroom." Mei Daizi said.
"I'll go find him," Lan said.
"I can't find it. He probably went outside first to wait for Hattori." Yamazaki said with a smile.
"This kid," Mao Li said, "leave him alone, let's go."...
On the other side, the Naniwa Police Station parking lot.
Seeing Conan, Hattori smiled and said, "You really came here."
"He's going too?" Sakata Yusuke was taken aback, and then said to Conan, "Little friend, you'd better go back, or Detective Mori will worry."
"It's okay, it's okay," Conan said with a smile, "I'll call later."
"This kid is quite useful, take him with you." Hattori rubbed Conan's head.
"Alright then." Sakata Yusuke said helplessly.
Not long after, on the way to Goji Sotaro's house, Sakata Yusuke was in the car.
Sakata Yusuke's mobile phone rang, and after answering it, he said: "The address and phone number of that suspicious lady have been found through the license plate number, her name is Okazaki Sumie, and she lives alone in the western capital near Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street. In the apartment."
"Then go here first," Conan said.
"Alright, that aunt seems to know something." Hattori said.
"Then I'll make a call to see if she's at home." Yusuke Sakata made a call using the speakerphone. After connecting, he said, "Is this Ms. Okazaki's home? I'm Sakata from the Naniwa Police Station..."
"Mr. Police!" Ms. Okazaki exclaimed in surprise, and then said in panic, "Please come here quickly to protect me. If this continues, I will be killed. I will tell you what happened before, come here quickly ,hurry up."
"Ms. Okazaki, please calm down," Sakata Yusuke said, "Now lock the doors and windows of your house and don't let anyone in. I'll be right there." Then he hung up the phone.
Hattori looked at the road, "Not good, we have already passed the intersection to go there, this is Midosuji, to the Buddhist halls of Honganji Tsumura Betsuin and Shinmune Otani School Namba Betsuin, traffic jams are commonplace on holidays, It will take a lot of time to go around there." Then he said to Yusuke Sakata, "Stop the car, let's get off here."
"Us?" Sakata Yusuke unconsciously slowed down the car.
Hattori and Conan opened the doors of the passenger seat and the rear seat without waiting for the car to come to a complete stop, jumped out of the car and rushed onto the road, crossing the road amidst shouts and curses. ...
On the other side, Xinsa Bridge.
After getting off the bus with Maori and his group, Kazuba took them to the Xinsaibashi store of the Aviation Hotel, and introduced them to the famous shops around.
"It really deserves to be a place comparable to Ginza." Sonoko said.
"Look," Mei Daizi pointed to a crosswalk on a road nearly a hundred meters away, "Is that Hattori, and Conan?"
"It's them," Seeing Hattori and Conan running quickly across the road, he said to Ye Zi, "What are they running for?"
"Is something wrong?" Lan asked worriedly, "Is someone chasing them?"
"It's not like." Mao Li said, "If someone is chasing him, it should appear by now." Then he said, "Forget it, let's go and have a look."
"Really, I wouldn't have said it if I knew it earlier." Mei Daizi said helplessly.
So Mao Li and his group chased after them, and He Ye and Lan called them a few times, but it might be because of the noisy voices that they didn't hear them.
Soon after, Mori and his party lost Hattori near a residential area, and Conan was inconspicuous in the crowd.
"I said, can you slow down a bit." Yuanzi, who was pulled by Mei Daizi, complained.
He Ye asked, "Where did they go?"
"Why did it disappear after turning in?" Lan said.
Looking around, Mao Li found that, more than a hundred meters away, Officer Sakata entered the public restroom of the community park, "I saw Officer Sakata, go and ask him." Then he walked over there.
Strange, how could Officer Sakata be here, Yamazaki followed Mouri.
At this time, Kazuha found Hattori appearing in the corridor on the fourth floor of an apartment building, and shouted: "Hattori!"
"Why are you here?" Hattori said.
"Is Conan there?" Ran called.
"I'm here." Conan said, lying on the guardrail.
"Really, I'm worried." Lan said,
"I'm sorry, Sister Lan, I wanted to call you later." Conan said reluctantly.
"Okay, let's find the person first." Hattori pulled Conan off the guardrail.
Seeing this, Lan and He Ye ran towards the apartment building together.
Seeing this, Yuanzi asked Mei Daizi, "Uh, where are we going?"
"Where do you want to go?" Mei Daizi asked.
"I don't want to go anywhere," Sonoko said.
"Then just wait here." Mei Daizi said.
At this time, Yamazaki and Mori had left for a while, and suddenly thought of a few questions. Hattori and Conan came here to obviously find the residence of the lady who appeared on the scene before, but an important witness who may be an important witness in the serial killings, the Osaka Prefecture Police Headquarters It's too strange that not even a police department is sent. Moreover, there is no Chuxinsa Bridge here, so it should not be far from the barbecue restaurant in the morning. The murderer would choose to hang Mr. Ye'an's body there, probably because of the proximity. But there is another problem. It is impossible for Mr. Ye'an's body to be hung up after the police car was found. It should be hung up by the murderer before they went to the barbecue restaurant. Then the problem comes, Mr. Ye'an's body What are the chances of hitting a police car? Normally, I'm afraid one dozen zeros is not enough to display, but if it is not normal, it is absolutely feasible. But how could a serial murderer know that we came to Osaka, how could he know that we would appear at a barbecue restaurant that we didn’t even know ourselves, and that the police car would stop at the place where Mr. The location of the hit, unless the murderer of this serial killing is the one who took them to the barbecue restaurant and parked the car under Mr. Ye An's body.
Thinking of this, Yamazaki said quickly: "Uncle, let's go, Officer Sakata may be the murderer, and he may be doing the murder now." He ran over there.
"What, are you serious?" Maori was taken aback, and hurriedly followed.
Yamazaki asked: "Uncle, if it is not a coincidence that Mr. Noyasu's body fell on the police car, who do you think the murderer is?"
"Ah?" Mao Li reacted, "then only the police car is parked there..."
At this time, the two ran outside the public toilet in the community park, and found that inside the toilet, Sakata Yusuke was strangling a middle-aged woman's neck with a rope.
"Stop!" Mao Li immediately shouted, and then rushed forward.
Yamazaki stood guard at the door, and it turned out to be police officer Sakata Yusuke.
"Detective Mao, Mori!" Sakata Yusuke relaxed his hands in surprise.
The middle-aged woman stretched out her hand and shouted: "Help, save me!" As she spoke, she fell limply to the ground.
Mori grabbed Sakata Yusuke's arm and fell over his shoulder, making him land on his back.
Yamazaki thought, so Officer Sakata asked this lady to go to the scene where Mr. Noan’s body was found, and it was just incidental to frighten her. The real purpose is probably to create an illusion for us. As soon as the time comes, this lady appears, and Noan The husband's body will fall down to frighten the lady. It has nothing to do with whether there is something under Mr. Ye'an's body or whether there is a police car. Of course, it is better to have a police car, so hitting the police car is just a coincidence. The choice of that place to hang Mr. Yean's body must be due to the short distance, so as to control the time when this lady appeared. In other words, Officer Sakata already knew the lady's address, and he didn't report the lady's connection to the serial killings just now. Now he definitely wants to use Hattori and Conan as an alibi, take advantage of the time difference in traffic, and call the lady here while they are looking for the lady, presumably he also used his own police. Identity, otherwise this frightened lady would not have come here.
On the other side, hearing Mao Li's loud voice, Mei Daizi sighed: "It seems that uncle has encountered another incident."
"Go and have a look." Sonoko sighed.
Hearing Maori's voice, they found that the door of Okazaki's house was not closed. Hattori and Conan, who went in to check, were taken aback. Immediately rushed out of Okazaki's house, dodged He Ye and Lan who wanted to talk to them, and ran towards Maori.
In the public restroom, Maori turned over Sakata Yusuke who couldn't get up for a while, and tied him up with the rope that Sakata Yusuke fell to the ground.
At this time, Mei Daizi and Yuanzi came over, saw what was going on in the bathroom, and asked unexpectedly, "What's going on?"
Yamazaki said: "Officer Sakata should be the murderer of the serial killings."
"No way?" Mei Daizi and Yuanzi were greatly surprised.
Maori said: "You came at the right time, called the police and an ambulance, and then helped to help this lady outside."
"Okay." Mei Daizi and Yuanzi said, Mei Daizi went into the bathroom and helped the woman out, Yuanzi called the police and an ambulance.
Mori looked at his watch, "At 1:33 p.m., police officer Sakata Yusuke, the serial murderer in Osaka Prefecture, was captured by my famous detective in Kanto, Mori Kogoro." Then he laughed triumphantly.
At this time, Hattori, Conan, Ran, and Kazuha came over, and they were all surprised when they heard Maori's words.
"Damn it!" Conan raised his triangular eyes. It was dark under the lights. He should have thought that only police officer Sakata, who is a murderer, can turn accident into necessity, and make Mr. Ye'an's body fall on the police car accurately.
Hattori stepped forward and picked up Sakata Yusuke's collar, and shouted angrily: "Why you, tell me, you must have tricked her here as a policeman, how can you be worthy of your profession, stand up, Sakata, The cherry blossom badge in your police handbook is crying."
"Heiji," Sakata Yusuke stood up with Hattori's help, "I..."
"Say it! You bastard." Hattori roared.
"My father," Sakata Yusuke yelled, "Twenty years ago, they killed my father."
"..." Hattori didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, Mori laughed even more proudly when he thought that he would become a famous detective in Kanto and Kansai.
Outside the bathroom, He Ye asked suspiciously, "Does Maori detective have this habit?"
"What?" Lan asked suspiciously.
"Laughing in the bathroom." He Ye said.
"Pfft!" Mei Daizi and Yuanzi laughed loudly.
"Ah?" Lan blushed immediately, and then went to drag Maoli out of the public restroom. ...
