Sakata's action of adjusting the rearview mirror made Conan and Heiji have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and the two people who felt as if they were connected to something looked at each other, and tacitly chose to silence, Sakata, who didn't pay attention to the movements of the two, was still conducting various inspections before driving, and it didn't take long for Sakata to start the car and slowly drive out of the police station.

"By the way, Pingji, I also checked the suspicious woman you found at the scene just now...... I got her information through the license plate. ”

The sedan slowly moved forward on the congested road, and taking advantage of this slow moment, Sakata took out a piece of paper with something printed on it and said, hearing that Heiji and Conan were shocked, "Oh? So fast? ”

"Well, that woman's name is Okazaki Sumie, 39 years old, and she just got divorced last year...... I currently live alone in the Xidu apartment, not far from our current location, do you want to go and see it first? ”

Sakata read the contents to the printer paper, and Heiji, who raised his left elbow to support his cheek by the window, glanced at the paper, "Okay, that woman's reaction, maybe she knows something......"

"Then I'll call her."

Sakata, who took out his mobile phone, dialed the number on the paper, and the call was connected when the connection time was about to exceed a minute.

"Hello, is it Ms. Okazaki's home? I'm Sakata ...... from the Osaka Prefecture Tojiri Branch."

Before Sakata's voice fell, the other party shouted on the phone full of fear: "Mr. Police! Hurry up and protect me! I'm going to be killed! I'll tell you everything before! Hurry up! ”

The faces of the three people who were frightened by this scream changed, and Sakata, who came back to his senses, hurriedly calmed the other party's emotions: "You calm down, let's go over immediately, lock the door and don't open the door for anyone......"

"Oops! Xidu apartment has passed! ”

Heiji, who inadvertently looked in the rearview mirror, suddenly found that Xidu Apartment appeared in the mirror, and quickly turned his head and shouted to Sakata who hung up the phone, and after hearing Heiji's voice, Sakata observed the road left and right, "What should I do?" There are too many Midosuji cars, and it will take a lot of time to detour to Yotsubashisuji......"

"In that case......

Heiji, who pressed the seat belt button, opened the car door, and Conan, who understood what he wanted to do, also opened the rear door, "Run faster!" ”

"Hey, Pingji!" By the time Sakata reacted, Heiji and Conan had already run across the road through the traffic jam and sprinted towards the Nishito apartment in the opposite direction.

"Whew... Call...... Hey, Hattori, what do you think about the wallet? ”

The two men, who were just one way away from reaching the apartment, were stopped at a red light at a crosswalk, and Conan, who was holding his knees and panting for breath, asked.

"Huh? ...... are you referring to?"

"Chiri said before that something in the wallet ...... Was there anything strange in the victim's wallet? ”

Wiping the sweat off his face and frowning, Hattori replied, "There's nothing special in there... And the wallets are also broken in a mess, if anything, it is that their wallets are all folded wallets that can only hold banknotes and cards......"

"There's still nothing to connect with, anyway, I'll see the lady first..."

"Well, asking her should give you valuable clues."

・

"Ding-dong-ding-dong-"

"Madam, I'm a friend of the police officer just now, please open the door......"

It was a little strange that the woman was still answering the phone at home a few minutes ago, but now no one answered, and the somewhat anxious Hattori reached out to press the doorknob, and to his surprise, the door was not locked.

Feeling bad, the two walked in and searched the house around, but they didn't find anyone Heiji and Conan returned to the living room, picked up the landline phone on the table, and pressed the call back button.

"What? Mrs. Okazaki is missing? I told her to wait at home......"

"Anyway, something is wrong, she didn't contact you?"

"Why, I didn't tell her my mobile phone number just now......"

"That's right, anyway, you should hurry up."

"I'm already past Midosuji, and I'll be there in another three or four minutes."

Before Pingji, who cut off the call, could put the earpiece back on the landline, a series of screams that broke through the sky came from outside the window, and Pingji, who quickly hung up the phone, rushed to the window, opened the curtain and looked down, only to see that in front of the public toilet next to the apartment below, a man wearing a hat and a cleaner uniform was slumped on the ground, moving backwards in a panic towards the entrance of the toilet, this performance made the two of them feel a sudden heartbreak.

"Will it be ......?"

The two who rushed out of the door hurried downstairs, and let the uncle who was sitting on the ground look frightened, and Conan and Heiji who rushed into the public toilet saw the corpse of a woman lying on the floor inside, and a sharp knife through her wallet was stuck in her heart.

"The murder was Ms. Sumie Okazaki, 39 years old, and the cause of death was strangulation ......"

Soon, Sakata, who rushed over, also called the identification personnel, and after hearing the identification results, the expressions on the faces of Heiji, Conan and Sakata, who were familiar with the inside story, were not very good-looking, looking at the corpse that was put into the body bag, Heiji pinched his chin and muttered: "I warned her not to go out, why did she run to the public toilet downstairs?" It's like putting yourself in front of the murderer......"

"Mr. Sakata! There were two strange messages on the phone in the victim's house! The police officers on the other side brought a new discovery, and several people immediately returned to the victim's home on the fourth floor.

"Beep--come to Shinsaibashi now! I'll let you meet your former friends. Beep - 1:08 p.m. ”

"Beep - do you see? Then it's your turn. Beep - 1:10 p.m. ”

"Shinsaibashi, isn't that the place where Noan was killed before? It seems that she was first led there by the first phone call, and when she came back after seeing the scene of the murder, after hearing the second message, she hid in the house in fear. ”

And what do former friends mean? If it refers to the murdered Ye'an, then there must be a connection between them, as long as you go back and investigate whether these two people have crossed paths before, you will definitely be able to get some clues......"

"Hattori,"

Conan, who listened to his analysis, beckoned, signaled him to come closer, and whispered: "These two messages are very strange, the time is only two minutes apart, if it is a normal situation, I will listen to the two calls together... This means that her every move is being watched by the murderer. But why didn't the murderer kill her at that time, there was no need to threaten her to hide in the house......"

Conan, who felt that he had reached a dead end again, scratched his hair, "Damn, these four murders are so weird, I have an ominous premonition that I have been played by the murderer......"

"Ominous premonition?"

Touched by Conan's words, Ping Ji was in a trance, and the scene of Conan, who was covered in blood in his new form in his dream, resurfaced in front of his eyes.

"Hattori...... Hattori? ”
