Chapter 122: The Fourth Victim

"This person standing next to the car and blocking the media interview is actually Youngtoshi Nagao, the first person to be killed in a series of murders? But this case has been investigated, why do you still show it to me? Looking carefully at the plot in the video, Pingji, who couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Sakata's gourd, couldn't help but turn his head and ask.

"Nope! Not Hidetoshi Nagao! What I want you to see is the driver! ”

"Driver? This...... Isn't this the third Yean to be killed? ”

"That's right! Four years ago, he seemed to be the driver of the Township Councillor! ”

"The former secretary and the driver were all strangely murdered, one way or another! It stands to reason that we should all pay a visit to this Township Councillor, who definitely knows some of the inside story of this case! ”

"But the Township Councillor is notoriously disgusted with the police! Will he meet with us? ”

"Humph! This kind of thing happens! Recently, he was preparing to participate in the election, but he had no other choice! ”

After finding a new clue in a few words, the energetic Heiji Jean and Ha Obichi went to their house first, and then turned around and left the Tojiri Branch.

"Yuichi! This kind of thing, don't you go to join in the fun? ”

"Don't go! This is a matter of the Osaka Police Department.,I'm an outsider from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to make a lot of fun.,Don't catch the fox but cause a commotion! ”

"Oh? Do you think so? It seems that the leisurely life of the island country has made you lose your vigilance as an FBI agent! Now that the organization has come to the island nation to develop, do you think that with their cunning rabbit character, they will only operate in Tokyo? This Hattori Heiji's identity is useful! We shouldn't treat him so casually, we have to have a good relationship with him when necessary, you know? It can be seen from the fact that he can borrow a police car to take you out to play, and he will not refuse to use the police force to do some personal things! And his dad is the boss of all the police in Osaka Prefecture, do you think you can still sit here? Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Judy, who was sitting next to Yuichi, reminded him in a whisper.

Yuichi, who had been educated by Judy like this, could only stand up after smiling helplessly.

"Judy! I still like you when you're not working, don't put too much burden on yourself, okay? I know those childhood shadows are putting a lot of pressure on you, but now there's me! Do you understand? I'll take it with you! Not only Belmode, Gin, Vodka, or even the boss who has been hiding his head and tail, everyone in the Black Organization, I will not let go of any of them! So please let go of your calculations as an FBI agent! It's going to be tiring to disguise yourself like this! I'll help him settle it out there! You follow Xiaolan and wait for my good news! ”

After saying these words, regardless of what Judy was thinking in her heart, who had already lowered her head, Yuichi took a few quick steps and chased after Heiji, who had hidden Conan in his arms.

In the yard of the Tojiri substation, Heiji and they had already got into a car without a police station logo, and Heiji, who was sitting in the back, apologized to Yusuke Sakata embarrassedly, after all, the police car that was secretly driven out was suddenly smashed, and the financial compensation was put aside, and the least remorse was to be written. Sakata, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was reassuring that Heiji didn't have to care, and was adjusting the rearview mirror.

"Huh? Is this a standard tutorial for driving in Osaka? Or is it the driving mode of a certain driving school? I always feel that Sakata's driving habit has been seen somewhere, where is it? After catching up and getting into the car, Yuichi, who was welcomed by Heiji and Conan, couldn't think about it anymore. Driven by Sakata, several people drove quickly towards the direction where the township councilor was.

"To go to the office of the village councilor, you have to go through Midosuji! Damn it! It's the road again! ”

"Huh? Pingji you say so! I also remembered that this so-called Midosuji has a very important place in your Osaka traffic? Just now we were going to eat the okonomiyaki of the okonomiyaki restaurant you mentioned, and we were also going to Midosuji! ”

"Yes! No way! With so many one-way streets, Midosuji, which can make a U-turn and turn, has indeed become a place of traffic congestion, but now it's not time to eat food, even if Midosuji is congested, we have to squeeze through! Damn it! If only I could drive a police car! Why do you have to wait so aggrievedly to move a little bit! ”

Just after Yuichi and their car drove into Midosuji, Sakata, who was originally sitting in the driver's seat and driving quietly, watched the car in front of him stop, put the gear in neutral and patted his head in chagrin.

"Look at my memory! I just remembered talking about the Township Councilor, and I almost forgot about it! Peaceful! I have found out the license plate number of the suspicious woman you just said at the police station, including her address and phone number! Her name is Chengjiang Okazaki, 39 years old, divorced last year, and currently seems to live alone in the nearby Xidu apartment, do you want to go and see it first? ”

"Good! She should know something, otherwise she couldn't be the only one with so many onlookers who reacted so much and fled! ”

"Good! Since you said so! Then I'll call her and see if she's not home! ”

Seeing that the car in front of him had not started at all, Sakata, who took out his mobile phone, called the phone according to the phone in his notepad.

"Hey! Is it Ms. Okazaki? Hello, I'm Sakata from the Osaka Police Department Tojiri Branch, we have some things about the recent homicides that we would like to know from you, do you have time to cooperate now? ”

"Mr. Policeman! Hurry up and protect me! I'm going to be killed! I'll tell you everything before, come quickly! Please! Hurry up! I don't want to die! Woo woo woo~"

However, unexpectedly, as soon as Sakata's phone called, Okazaki Chengjiang on the other side reacted violently and began to ask for help.

Hearing Okazaki Chengjiang's desperate cry for help, they immediately became nervous, this Okazaki Chengjiang may be one of the insiders they know about this serial murder case, and it can be seen from her words that she absolutely knows the three people who died, so the thread that connects them all is about to be caught.

"Sakata! You tell Sumie Okazaki to calm her down! Lock the doors and windows before we go, don't open the door when anyone asks us, be sure to wait until we go! Let's go through the pedestrian street first, and you'll bring the car over when you're done! Do you understand? ”

"Don't worry! Peaceful! ”

So under the urging of Heiji and Conan, Yuichi, who had some doubts in his heart, didn't care about anything else, as long as he followed the two of them towards the Xidu apartment.

"Hey! Aunt! We're friends with Officer Sakata who just called you! Please open the door! Heiji, who was standing in front of Okazaki's room at No. 405, took a deep breath and calmed himself from the heavy gasp after a quick run, and then rang the doorbell and shouted.

However, no matter how much he yelled, no one responded, and Yuichi, who felt that something was wrong, hurriedly slammed into the door, but the imaginary collision sound did not come, but Yuichi's whole person was flashed in.

"The door is unlocked! This sucks now! Didn't you tell her not to run around until we came? What the hell is this stupid woman thinking? Heiji, who already had a premonition that Okazaki Chengjiang might have suffered a poisonous hand, couldn't help but slam his fist on the door frame.

"That's it! It's useless to talk about that now! Let's go find this Okazaki Chengjiang lady, if you live to see people die, you need to see corpses! Yuichi, who got up from the ground, patted the dirt behind his body, and began to search the apartment expressionlessly.

And just as he began to search, a piercing scream suddenly came up from downstairs, and the three people who had a bad premonition in their hearts immediately ran down.

When they hurried to the vicinity of the screaming public toilet, under the guidance of a cleaner, Yuichi and the others found Okazaki Sumie lying on the ground with a frightened face, and a knife piercing her purse was also stuck in her chest.

There is already a fourth victim in this serial murder.
