Chapter 175: Osaka's Serial Killings

After getting out of the car and ensuring their own safety, the three detectives immediately surrounded the body.

"Who is this...... Dad asked subconsciously frowning at the corpse in the car.

"I don't know. He suddenly fell from above and landed on our car. "As the host of this trip. Hattori replied voluntarily. "It's from this building," Hattori's eyes suddenly widened in the middle ......of his words, not that there was another corpse immediately falling from above, but that at the top of the building where the corpse had just fallen, a person was looking down.

"Officer Sakata, please contact the police station immediately!" After that, Hattori ran towards the building, followed by Conan, after all, my father was a policeman and detective, and he didn't rush upstairs like two young people, but immediately protected the scene and began to calm the witnesses at the scene. On the other side, Sakata listened to Hattori's words and began to call the police station, while I was watched by Xiaolan's hand.

He Ye and Xiaolan are both the daughters of the police, and they should have seen a lot of things like facing corpses, but for the person who is now lying on the car cover and is dead, the look in their eyes is not so fearful, but more sympathy and sadness, yes, this kind of thing is a dead person for two kind-hearted girls, no matter how they say, they can't be as expressionless as me.

"Huh, Kaoru-chan. Aren't you afraid?" Kazuha, who had recovered from the shock, looked down at me, who looked flat, and then squatted down and asked me.

"Huh, I'm not afraid. I replied casually. Of course I'm not afraid, if this kind of scene is I'm afraid, then my ten years of killer career will not be alive and poi.

"Hey, Kaoru is so brave. A relieved smile hung on Kazuha's face. "Alas...... It was a good trip, but I was ...... by something like this. A bit of frustration was written on Kazuha's face again.

"It's okay, Sister Ye. I smiled reassuringly. I don't care, after all, I'm just here to accompany Xiaolan and my dad out to relax. Although I encountered such a thing, I was quite happy to watch that kid from Kudo play. Just let him go.

It didn't take long for Hattori and Conan to step down from the building, followed by a bald uncle in a nightgown, but this person was not the prisoner who pushed the body down, but the owner of a café in the building. The reason why he went to the top of the building was because someone called him and told him that there was a strange person upstairs and asked him to go up and have a look.

"In other words, the owner of this café was just used by the real murderer to push the body down?" said Dad frowned upon hearing this.

"That's right. Hattori replied. "Just tie the body with a rope first. It was then tied to the railing of the roof and wrapped in a plastic bag. It is then fastened with a rope to the entrance door at the top of the building. This way, when the door is opened, the rope will fall off and the corpse will fall. Judging by the stiff body of Cheng Dù, the deceased should have been killed a day earlier and hung there. ”

"But this prisoner is so bold. "By Hattori's side, I said silently. "I threw the body directly at the police car. Do you think it's a coincidence or is it deliberate?"

"It's a coincidence. Conan replied.

"Well, I think so too. "Hattori should be in harmony. "But it seems like a warning from the killer to someone. ”

"Warning?"

"Warning?" the voices of the two children rang out at the same time

"The knife, pierced the purse and stabbed it directly into the chest. It's exactly the same as the previous murder. ”

"Before?"

"Before?" again the voices of the two children.

"Ah, that's ...... Huh?" Hattori was about to answer our questions, when he heard an aunt screaming in horror from the back of the crowd. Turning her head, the aunt had already run towards her car in a panic. Hattori just wanted to chase, but he had no choice but to start the car. With the strength of my feet alone, no one here can catch up in such a short time unless it is me. And even if it was me, I guess I would have been thrown off after more than half a minute because the car had increased its speed. Of course, I won't chase it, anyway, how can I find someone by writing down the license plate number. Why do you have to show your strength? But that's fine, at least we have the target for our next stop - Osaka Police Station, Tojiri Office.

"Serial homicide cases?!" Dad asked sternly in the police station. "Did you say that the deceased was already the third victim!?"

"Yes. Hattori frowned as well. "All three of the dead were fatal after stabbing their purses with knives and then stabbing them in the chest, but before that the killers would have strangled them to suffocation. It is clear that the action behind is deliberate. ”

"Could it be that he was killed because of money?" and Ye expressed his opinion with his hands on his cheeks.

"No, that's not justifiable. Hattori denied Kazuha's words. "The first to be killed, Hidetoshi Nagao, was the manager of a supermarket. The second killed, Mrs. Tayo Nishiguchi, was the proprietress of a hotel. And the newly deceased Noyasu Kazuto was a taxi driver. These three people can't have anything to do with people because of money. Aside from their modus operandi, these three have nothing in common at all.

"Kaoru, do you have any ideas?" Conan whispered to me, and even Hattori aimed at me.

“...... No idea. ”

"Hey, hey......" Conan narrowed his half-moon eyes. "Help. You don't want our trip to end like this, do you?" Conan said with his hands folded.

I held my forehead slightly. "You haven't checked the records of the phone calls to the owner of the coffee shop, and you haven't checked the backgrounds of the three deceased. But here you ask me what I think. If I just sit here quietly and wait for news from the police, and when all this is cleared, you will have an idea of your own. ”

"This ...... Okay, but how do I feel like you're so unmotivated today?" Conan wondered. "I remember that when you solved the case the first few times, you listened carefully to the analysis of the case. ”

"I don't know if it's the after-effects of the last injury, but I've always been sleepy lately. As I spoke, I yawned very cooperatively. "Maybe it's because I woke up too early today, and I'm so sleepy now. ”

"Uh...... It's really rare to hear you cry sleepy. Conan twitched the corners of his mouth.

During the chat, time is also passing little by little. It wasn't long before Sakata ran up to us with a tape and shouted "There you have it." Flat brother. We've found common ground among the victims. ”

After getting the news of the common ground, our group gathered in front of the video recorder to watch the video. The image that came out of the projector was a picture of a member of the Township Council being watched by the media.

"What is this?" Hattori was puzzled. "Isn't this the news that Setaro Sogo, who was a member of the prefectural council six years ago, was involved in corruption and dereliction of duty. ”

Later, his secretary took the initiative to take responsibility and resigned. This matter is not over. Dad recalled. "I remember his secretary seemed to have the surname Nagao...... Could it be the same person?!

"Hmm. This person is Hidetoshi Nagao, who was killed in the first place. Hattori nodded. "But what does this have to do with this case?"

“...... So you, a Kansai detective, really rely on your skin? I squinted my eyes and complained as I stretched out my hand to the driver on the screen. "This thing has just left under your nose. You forgot in the blink of an eye?"

"Driver?hhhhh "But you kid, you're really not polite. Gritting his teeth with hatred, Hattori still put his mind on the case. "Former secretary and former driver, it seems that this case is inseparable from Sotaro Goji. ”

"Hey, Kaoru. Conan whispered.

"Go ahead, don't try to pull me, I want to go back to sleep. Hah~" I shook my hand at Conan.

“...... Well, I'll leave it to you. He said. Conan walked towards Hattori.

"Officer Sakata, let's go over and have a look!" said Hattori, pulling on his coat. When Conan was put inside, I wondered if there were so many people present, could it be that no one else could see it except me.

"I said, leave this kind of thing to the police. We don't have to ......" The unhappy-looking dad tried to stop Hattori, but unfortunately failed.

"Please, this gangster ruined all your trip to Osaka, how could I let him go so lightly. Hattori straightened out his baseball cap. The whole person seems to have changed the appearance of a soul. "He Ye knows how to get to our house, so you can go back and rest first. As he spoke, Hattori waved at us.

"Wait a minute, Heiji!" Kazuha called Hattori to a halt. "Did you have that amulet with you?"

"Yes, I'll take it, don't worry, I'll see you later. Leaving Kazuha with a confident smile, Hattori turned and left.

"Amulet?" Xiaolan was slightly puzzled.

"It's the amulet I gave to Heiji. It keeps the peace safe every time. Turning around, Kazuye looked proud.

"Is it that spiritual? "Dad is a little disdainful of this kind of child's love game.

"I really didn't lie to you. Kazuha puffed out his face unhappily. "Once, Heiji forgot to bring that amulet, but he was seriously injured during the kendo tournament. That's one of only two of his most important amulets in the world. ”

"Two?"

"yes, it's the key that I was handcuffed with Hattori when I was a kid, and I secretly put him in that amulet for the backup key.

"Hey......" Xiaolan's face showed a gossipy smile.

"Ahh That one. He Ye suddenly blushed and hurriedly changed the subject. "That's right. I'll take you to Heiji's house, Kaoru looks like he's tired. Let him go to Heiji's house to rest. ”

"Heh~ That's what I said. Seeing that he and Ye were starting the topic, Xiaolan didn't ask, "Then let's go, Xiao Xun, Ke ...... Eh, what about Conan?"

"He just went out with Hattori. "I can't say anything.

"Nani?!" Dad was surprised. "Why does this stinky boy always like to run around. ”

"Well...... Just let them go, uncle. He Ye shook his hand. "Anyway, let's get this little guy settled first. He Ye pointed at me who was still yawning, with a listless face.

"Then what's going on, that stinky boy, I must find him this time and teach him a good lesson. "Dad didn't give up.

"That's good, I'll take you to the police station headquarters to find Officer Otaki. He'll take you to Hattori, and as for this kid, let him rest in the lounge of my dad's office. He Ye said generously.

"Eh, is that good?" Xiaolan blushed slightly. After all, it's the office of the Chief of Crime.

"Yes, you can. With that, Kazuha called Officer Otaki of the General Bureau. In less than half an hour, the police officer, who thought he was stout and had a scar on his eyebrows, appeared in front of us.

"Yo, Miss Heye, it's been a long time. Officer Otaki greeted.

"Hello Officer Otaki. "Say hello to Ye also. "I'm sorry to make a special trip. ”

"Where, where. Otaki smiled innocently. "So, where do we go next?"

"Well, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Kogoro Mori, a detective. ”

"Ahem. Dad coughed softly, then stretched out his hand and said to Officer Otaki with a slight sternness. "Hello, I'm Kogoro Mori. ”

"Oh, you're the detective in Kanto, known as the sleeping Mori Kogoro. Officer Otaki was pleasantly surprised. "It's a blessing. ”

"Hello, I'm Maolilan. Xiaolan also bowed and said hello.

"And this sleeping child is called Ming Ya Kaoru. He spoke to Ye and pointed to me who was already sleeping in Xiaolan's arms. "I'm sorry Officer Otaki, but we're going to find Hattori and another child, Conan, right now, so I want this child to rest in the rest room of Section Chief Toyama first. ”

"That's right. Well, no problem, then let's get in the car right away. ”

"Kaoru-chan. Kaoru-chan: We're about to go. Wake up a little and go back to sleep in the car for a while. Before leaving, Xiaolan gently shook me who was sleeping in her arms. Soft channel.

"Eh, uh-huh......" Hearing Xiaolan's words, I opened my eyes in a daze, rubbed them, and after answering, I lay on Xiaolan's shoulder again.

"Really. Sure enough, it's a child. Xiaolan smiled lightly, and then walked out with her father and Kazuha.

The journey was still less than half an hour, and we arrived at the Osaka Police Station.

"Then let's sleep here for a while. Let's go to Hattori them. "And Ye took over the sleeping me from Xiaolan's hands. He gently placed me on the sofa in the lounge and covered me with a blanket. Then he said to Xiaolan and her father.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. Miss Toyama. Xiaolan bowed slightly.

"Well...... Don't be so out-of-the-box. "Alright, let's go. He Ye Dafang arrived, and then, Xiaolan and her father, as well as Officer He Ye and Otaki left. There was only one sleeping me left in the room...... After about two minutes, there was some rustling sound in the quiet room, and I opened my lilac eyes calmly while still asleep. Gently pulling back the blanket on my body, I walked to the window and looked down, only to see my father and the others walking towards the police car they had just been sitting in. Soon, the car started moving again and left the police station.

Seeing the car drifting away, a wicked smile hung on the corner of my mouth. Flipping my palm, a purple phone appeared in my hand. Soon a string of numbers was dialed out.

"Moses Moses. Who's it, please?" a soft voice rang in my ears.

"Hmm, Hinata-san?" I was slightly surprised.

"Eh, Kaoru-chan?" Hinata on the other side of the phone was also stunned, and then reacted. "It's been a long time since I've seen Kaoru-chan. "That's right, it was Yuki Hinata, who was freed with my help some time ago. Originally, this call was made to the skinny wolf. But he was picked up by Hinata, but when I think about it, Hinata's secretary is now the secretary on the right track of the thin wolf. It's also normal for the phone to be answered by her.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've seen Sister Hinata. I laughed. "How are you doing?"

"Well, thanks to you, I'm fine here, thank you Kaoru. Hinata said gratefully.

"Hey, it's okay. You're too polite, Sister Hinata. I replied. "Where's the skinny wolf?"

"Mr. Koga is playing with Sakura. ”

"This old boy is quite nourishing. I couldn't help but laugh. "Then, Sister Hinata, please call him for me. ”

"Okay, you wait a minute. Kaoru-chan. Soon, Hinata took the phone and walked towards where the thin wolf was. After a while, a sweet and greasy female voice came from the voice on the phone.

"Brother Mingya~"

"Yo~ Sakura-chan, I haven't been in touch for a long time. I heard Sakura-chan's sweet laughter, and I couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"That's it...... It's been a long, long time since I last saw Brother Mingya. I could imagine Sakura pouting on the other side of the phone.

"Sakura-chan, I'll be able to play with you in a while. ”

"Really?" Sakura said excitedly.

"Of course, when I'm not busy these days, I'll go over to you. ”

"Hmm~ That's a certainty. ”

"Well, it's a word. I smiled. "Alright, give your dad the phone, I still have something to tell him. ”

"Oh, good~" Sakura obediently handed the phone to the thin wolf.

"Makes you laugh, Mr. Flowwind. "The skinny wolf was a little embarrassed.

"Poof...... It's rare for you to have such a happy day. "I can't help but laugh.

"Everywhere, it's all thanks to you. The thin wolf said with a red face. "I don't know if there's anything I can do for you this time?"

"Ah, do you have any informants in the Osaka Police Station, huh...... The kind that has a very high position. ”

"Osaka Police Station?" the thin wolf raised an eyebrow. "Yes, yes, but the position is not too high. It's probably the captain or something. What's wrong? Need help with follow-up questions?"

"How is that possible...... When do I need that kind of thing. I narrowed my half-moon eyes. "The captain is enough, let him come to Toyama Ginjiro's office and find a way to take me out. ”

"Huh?" the skinny wolf startled.

"Well...... I can't explain this kind of thing for a while. Anyway, hurry up. Then let all the people in the Osaka Wave Bar evacuate within six hours. ”

"Well, you mean, you're ready to ......"

"Ah, hurry up, I don't have much time. ”

"Okay! I'll do it right away!"

Honk...... Honk...... Honk......

After a busy "......" sound, I put down the phone and let out a long breath. "The detectives are busy, and I'm the only one left. After saying that, a wicked smile crept up on the corner of my mouth again.

“さ...... ゲームを始めよう!"

(So...... Game – It's On!)
