File.54 Osaka Castle, City of Gastronomy (10)

(In overtime, I have to consume another chapter to save the manuscript...... And the original zhu came out and became the original.,I don't know what the hell is going on at the starting point...... )

"Yuichiro Numabuchi? Could it be the serial robber murderer who is currently wanted?! ”

This name made Conan and Heiji's faces change greatly, and Sakata, who was stunned by their expressions, replied with a little stumbling: "The name, the name is so special, it should be him......"

Stretching out his hand, he snatched the phone from Sakata's hand, and said urgently into the receiver: "Hey? Are there any photos from that time? If you have one, send us a fax immediately! ”

Soon, a group photo from 20 years ago slowly spit out in the squeak of the fax machine, and when I picked it up, I saw the emaciated young man on the right side of the picture almost at a glance: "That's right! It's the swamp abyss! There were five other people whose names and looks matched. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"But ......"

Conan on the side pointed to the graduation date under the photo, "They all graduated from the driving training class smoothly that year, but Okazaki was the only one who got the driver's license, isn't it strange?" ”

"That's right... What happened 20 years ago? ”

Nodding his head to indicate that Conan was reasonable, Heiji looked at the few people in the photo again, but still didn't see any clues.

"After all, it's been 20 years, and it's good that there are still images left. The driving school also said that the incumbents of the year had long since stopped working there...... I don't think anyone remembers that time. ”

Sakata, who hung up the phone, also sighed, but Heiji and Conan thought of a place together, "Mr. Sakata, please take us to a place......"

·

—Municipal Nakanoshima Library—

"There should be...... About what happened to that driving class 20 years ago......"

In the library's reference room, Heiji was sitting in front of a computer typing, typing in the relevant words, and in a short time, a large number of news records matching keywords were swiped on the screen.

"There it is! That's it! ”

Pingji, who clicked on a record, pointed to the screenshot on the front page of the newspaper and said to the two: "On the day the six people graduated 20 years ago, an instructor in the driving training class died of drunk driving...... The instructor of the driving class got into a drunk driving accident, which is a very serious incident. ”

"The name is Tetsuji Inaba, and he is a devil instructor who is very famous in the driving class......" Conan, who quickly scanned the news, found a sentence describing the identity of the deceased.

After scrolling the mouse wheel, Heiji didn't find any other information, leaned back in the chair and turned his head to Sakata and said, "Mr. Sakata, I heard that Numabuchi recently sneaked back to Osaka, is this true?" ”

"Well, there are people in the jurisdiction who have witnessed what is suspected to be a swamp abyss, and I also participated in the search operation at that time." Sakata, who thought about it, replied affirmatively.

"Oh...... Could it be so? ”

Heiji, who had compiled all the information in his mind, spoke, "Numabuchi, who was short of money in his escape, wanted to extort some of the things he had done from the past, but he refused, so he killed the people he used to do to threaten the councillors? ”

"Or is it that the village secretary, who is planning to run for the Diet this time, uses Numabuchi to kill his former companions in order to cover up the scandal of the past?"

"It seems possible," echoed Sakata, who had a serious face, "Speaking of which, both Nagao and Noyasu received huge severance payments when they quit their jobs as secretaries and drivers for the village councillors......

"Let's meet Mr. Councillor first..."

Pingji, who stood up, had a glint in his eyes, "As long as you bring out the coach's car accident 20 years ago and the names of his companions back then, no matter how much he hates the police, he still has to speak!" ”

The three people who walked out of the library with confidence were blocked by Xiaolan and a few people who arrived, "Conan——! You naughty child, suddenly no harm is worried about death! ”

"Oops......"

Conan, who was caught by Xiaolan for a good meal, cast a look for help to Qianli who was standing aside, but the girl's playful expression clearly did not have this intention, and Conan, who struggled in vain for a while, had to appoint, just when everyone was in a hurry, a car drove over slowly, and after stopping not far from everyone, a tall round man with a flat head got out of the car.

"Huh? Isn't this Uncle Otaki from the Osaka Police Station? Why are you even dispatched? ”

After the man came over, Pingji, who saw his face clearly, exclaimed, and Otaki waved his hand and smiled: "Ah Ping, long time no see." Yes, Ye asked me to be the driver, because you don't seem to have enough cars to sit in. ”

"Huh? Really, you just like to indiscriminately command the criminal police! ”

Not to be outdone, Kazuha, who was reprimanded by Heiji, glared at Heiji: "What? You even used a police car to visit Osaka! ”

"Oops, stop arguing, don't argue." Seeing that the signs were wrong, Otaki hurriedly became a peacemaker.

After a chicken and dog jump, the soldiers divided into two ways to go to Heiji's house in two cars, Otaki and Chiri, while Heiji and Sakata went to the township councilor, and Conan, who wanted to be with Pingji, had to reluctantly watch Heiji's car leave him under the pressure of Xiaolan.

At this time, it was almost evening, and raindrops fell in the gloomy sky, and the two sedans were moving on the road of the rain curtain one after the other, because Otaki was called by Heye, and several people who were embarrassed to take the Qianli car sat in Otaki's car, and Maybach, who was empty all of a sudden, followed them.

"I'm so hungry..."

"I'll be able to reach the minister's house soon, so please bear with me...... Hey? ”

Otaki, who was talking to Kogoro, heard the mobile phone ringing in his pocket, and he answered the call with his left hand holding the steering wheel in his right hand, "Hey, I'm Otaki, what?" In the mountains of Minoh...... Found the car driven by Numabuchi?! ”

The sudden increase in volume startled the co-pilot's Kogoro, and Otaki took out a police light from the center armrest box and apologized, "Mr. Mori, I'm so sorry, I'll have to wait a little longer before I can eat—I have something to do." ”

"They suddenly turned around, do you want to follow, Miss."

Seeing that the rear of the sedan in front of her swung around and sped away, the maid, who was a little confused, turned around and asked for instructions, and immediately turned the steering wheel after getting the girl's nod, and followed the car in front.

Two cars driving out of the city followed the winding mountain road to a waterfall, where two police cars had already stopped, and Otaki, who had parked the car, opened the door and ran out, along with Conan, who had slipped out of the car.

"A waterfall in the rain is something special, isn't it?"

The girl in the car in the back looked at the waterfall and sighed, and the gray plain who glanced at her reminded you: "That big detective ran over with the police, is it okay if you don't follow him?" The other party is a murderer......"

As he spoke, he noticed that the girl had taken out an umbrella from the storage compartment and shook it at her.

"Of course not......"
