"That's right! This man is Nugbuchi! I didn't expect him to participate in the camping training with these people, so was he also responsible for this serial murder? This bastard! ”

"Huh? Is Numabuchi now in Osaka? Seeing Sakata on the side, pointing to a man in the photo with an angry roar on his face, Yuichi asked with a smile with some certainty in his heart.

"Yes! Two weeks ago! Some people in our jurisdiction said that they saw people suspected of being swamps, and I also participated in the search at that time! Although he was not caught, we Osaka police believe that he did abscond! ”

"Oh? Is it? Interesting! Where was the location of your search at that time? Can you tell me about it? Officer Sakata! ”

"Ahh This manhunt is over anyway! There are only a few surrounding policemen left patrolling and besieging the city, and the location is right at the Minoh Falls! If Officer Yuichi is interested, I can ask someone to take you there!" In the face of Yuichi's inquiry, although Sakata's clenched fists trembled, as an old criminal policeman, he still smiled and arranged for Yuichi.

"Really? Thank you so much! I'll just go over and take a look, and maybe I'll be lucky enough to find that Jiichiro Numabuchi! After being besieged for so many days, he must not be able to go far! After a few polite words with Sakata, Yuichi touched Conan's cute mushroom head, which was crawling next to Heiji to study the photo, and then turned around and left the archives.

"Brother Youyi! What's wrong? As a code for Yuichi's unilateral stipulation, although Conan protested strongly and unhappily, he finally gave up resigned to his fate because his arm couldn't twist his thigh.

"I'm going to look for Kiichiro Numabuchi at Minoh Falls in a moment, and I suspect he's actually been caught by the police who are searching for him! It's just that some police officers hid him for some special reasons, but the entire Osaka police were searching there at the time, and he definitely didn't dare to take Numabuchi Jiichiro out of the mountain, so the wanted criminal must still be around the Minoh Falls now! I'm going to find him out and expose the abominable true face of a demon in a police uniform! During my absence, you must stay together peacefully and not apart! Pay special attention to the guy named Yusuke Sakata! Do you understand? ”

"Officer Sakata! Cousin Youyi, what do you mean? That's right! That's what I mean! You go ahead with him and continue the detective game! I'm going to get to the bottom of him! ”

Just as Conan stared at Yuichi in disbelief to digest the shocking news he had revealed, Heiji and Sakata, who had finished their research in the archives, also walked out.

"Yuichi! I noticed a graduation photo written in the bottom corner from the photo, which means that they all graduated successfully at the Hyogo Coaching Ground at that time, but now the result is that Okazaki is the only one who graduated there! So I suspect something big must have happened to the juku twenty years ago! Get ready to check out the Municipal Nakanoshima Library! I heard Sakata say that you are going to go alone to Minoh Waterfall to check the traces of Jiichiro Numabuchi? ”

"Ahh Yes! I'll leave it to a few of you to investigate the cause of death of these people, after all, I'm a police officer at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and it's not a matter of obstructing Officer Sakata's work here all the time! So I'd better go there and find out the whereabouts of Jiichiro Numabuchi! After all, he is a nationally wanted criminal, and as long as he is a police officer, he is obliged to arrest him, right? Hahaha! ”

"Oh? Is that so? "Although I think Yuichi's reason is a little strange, but Heiji, who can't figure it out, doesn't care. After nodding his head to show that he understood, he took Conan and Sakata in a car and set off towards the library.

After the Toyota car staring at Sakata left, he waved to the police officers left behind by Sakata, and Yuichi got into the passenger seat of the police car and pointed out his destination.

"Xidu Apartment!"

"Huh? Officer Yuichi! Aren't we going to Minoh Falls? ”

"Haha! Let's go to Xidu Apartment first! I seem to have lost something important there, so let's go look for it first! Then go to Minoh Falls! ”

"Okay! Officer Yuichi! ”

Just as Yuichi was taking the car to the Xidu apartment, Heiji and his team also came to the municipal library.

"Found it! Twenty years ago, on the day those six people graduated, one of the instructors in the driving class died while drunk driving. The instructor of the driving class had a car accident? This is a serious matter! ”

"Hmmm! The instructor's name is Tetsuji Inaba, and he is a famous devil instructor in the driving training class, and many students commented after his death that he is the most severe in the driving training class! ”

"Really? This driving class is really interesting! Twenty years ago, the coach died drunk, and 20 years later, the trainees were killed in succession, including city councilors like Sotaro Goji, and murderers like Jiichiro Numabuchi. Do you think it could be that Jiichiro Numabuchi, who fled back to Osaka, lacked the entanglement of fleeing and wanted to use his past to blackmail the township councillors, but he was refused, so he killed these people who had stayed with him one by one to threaten the councillors? ”

"Or is it that the village secretary, who is going to run for the Diet this time, used Numabuchi to kill people in the past in order to eliminate some scandals that we didn't know about when he was staying together 20 years ago?"

"It's all possible! After all, among these people, the only one who deserves to be treated like this is the Township Councillor! ”

"It's possible! Looks like we're going to have to go sit down with the Township Councillor anyway! After brainstorming with Conan, Pingji, who came to this conclusion, couldn't help but laugh, and things seemed to have returned to the dot after such a big circle.

"What? Going to the Township Councillor? That guy who hates the police, you definitely don't want to see him a second time after you met him! Sakata, who heard Heiji's opening, couldn't help but remind.

"If you bring up the death of the coach in a car accident 20 years ago and the names of those companions back then, I think no matter how much he hates the police, he still has to speak! Conan? Let's go! ”

"Ahh Oh! Here it comes! Coach Tetsuji Inaba? Is that the man you don't know in that photo is him? Why do you always feel familiar with him? How can I be familiar with someone who died 20 years ago? Is the murderer really Officer Sakata? Why? Conan, who was staring at Yusuke Sakata's back, chased after him while pondering.

At the same time, on Midosuji Road, not far from the Nishito Apartment, looking at the Toyota car that was being prepared for recycling by the taxi company on the side of the road, Yuichi also had a smile on his face.

"Master! Please ask! Is the person renting this car a gentleman named Yusuke Sakata? ”

"Ahh Yes! What's wrong? ”

"I'm his friend, I just got out of the car and it looks like something fell on the car, can I go up and look for it?"

"Absolutely! Sir, please please! ”

"Thank you! That's right! Is my friend's other Toyota rented from your dealership as well? Yuichi, who was groping for something in the back seat of the car, asked seemingly casually.

"Ahh Oh, yes! Mr. Yusuke Sakata probably likes this Toyota, right? He rented two at once! ”

"Is there a lease record?"

"Yes!"

"Would you please send this record to the Osaka Police Station when you're done?"

"Huh? No problem! I will! ”

After finding this conclusive evidence, Yuichi smiled and took out his mobile phone.

"Hey! Flat times? There's something I want to tell you about! You start by finding a separate environment, you know? ”
