Chapter 252: Halo Lend Me a Rub
Immediately after, a sad exclamation almost pierced Hattori's eardrum: "Little Black!!" ”
Mao Lilan picked up the cat, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were already hanging.
However, when she touched it, she found that the cat was caring, and it was soft, and Hattori Heiji actually lied to the army.
After probing his heartbeat carefully, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not dead yet, don't curse it!" ”
Heiji Hattori was unfamiliar with the cat, but Moriran and Conan knew each other.
Conan knew it more deeply.
Although there are many black cats on the street, this one is still more recognizable than other cats - it looks a lot like a black cat.
Why did it appear at the scene of the crime?
Conan's mind flashed countless possibilities in an instant, and his heart chuckled several times in succession.
The worst he could think of was for Jiichiro Numabuchi to catch up with Shiraishi in the woods and then use him to threaten the black cat to help kill people.
But soon, this possibility was ruled out by Conan.
Let's not talk about the black cat's unexpected methods, even if he is really threatened, in that case, the one who kills should be the black cat who is threatened to become a tool man.
But in fact, until Noyasu and the people were killed, only the fingerprints of Kiichiro Numabuchi were detected on the knife.
So it shouldn't be like that.
…… It's good if not.
Just like the magic of the black cat, if he really wants to change to killing, Conan doesn't know how to stop it, where to stop it, it will be a disaster.
So, maybe the black cat is also looking for Shiraishi, so he also set his sights on Yoshiichiro Numabuchi and tracked it all the way here?
This makes more sense. And it's not as head-scratching as the previous hypothesis.
It's just that why did the black cat drop the cat here?
Was it when he got into a fight with Jiichiro Numabuchi and his accomplices, and accidentally covered the cat under the basin?
The base of the tea table in Gangqi Chengjiang's house is very low, about the same height as the upside-down pot. If you accidentally buckle it and push the basin under the coffee table, it is indeed possible to lock the cat up.
…… But this cat is not dumb, it can bark, how can a black cat not find it?
Unless the opponent is too strong, the black cat can't take care of these.
At the mention of the opponent who could make it difficult for the black cat, Conan's mind gradually appeared with a suspicious curly hair wearing a black mask.
But at the end of the day, this is just unfounded conjecture.
What matters now is – what is this closed room murder case all about?
With a wallet in his heart, this shows whether it is a homicide or one of the serial murders. It took a lot of effort to get out of a secret room, and it was impossible for the police to believe that Gangqi Chengjiang committed suicide.
…… Conan pressed the corner of his forehead tiredly.
The easiest way is to find the black cat and ask him how he is doing.
Speaking of which, cats don't matter.
Conan looked up at the cat in Maolilan's hand, and suddenly felt that from his own angle, there seemed to be something more in front of the cat's neck.
On closer inspection, it appears to be a tiny round ball, obscured by fur and barely visible.
Conan was puzzled for a moment, and wanted to bring the cat from Maolilan's hand so that it could be easily checked.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the cat suddenly woke up.
It looked up at Maolilan for a moment, then raised its tail to wrap around her wrists, and its nails popped out to hook her sleeves, all written "I don't want to go".
Maoliran was stunned for a second, and after a second, he decisively ignored Conan's outstretched hand and took the cat back into his arms.
"......" Conan jumped twice on his forehead.
I didn't dare to be 100% sure.
But now he understands perfectly.
This is definitely the black cat's cat!
…… Is it a transmitter on its neck? Or bugging?
Could it be that the black cat didn't actually come here, but just let the cat out to track freely, and then the cat found Jiichiro Numabuchi by himself, and was detained into a basin by Jiichiro Numabuchi and his companion with a bad taste?
This speculation seems to be more reliable than the first two.
Because there weren't many signs of a fight in the room.
And if the black cat really came here and got into a fight with Jiichiro Numabuchi and his accomplices, the movement would definitely not be so small.
Only in this way can Jiichiro Numabuchi and others make it more convenient to create a murder room.
…… But it's still that sentence, the murderer has been clarified, and there is a ghost for being a secret room.
Criminals really can't be judged by common sense.
……
Shiraishi didn't pretend to be asleep all the time.
The main reason is that Mao Lilan will send it to the pet store for rescue, so that he will not be able to follow them into the parliamentarian's house.
The cat slave is really a treasure in the world.
……
There was not much to investigate at the scene, and several people quickly returned to the police station to continue investigating the relationship between the deceased.
Judging from Okaki Chengjiang's reaction before his death, she must know Ye An and people. In other words, this time, Jiichiro Numabuchi is not killing people randomly, and the targets he chooses must be related to each other.
Along the way, Yusuke Sakata gave various hints, and finally made Heiji Hattori and Conan notice the common denominator of "driver's license".
After that, they searched all the way to the driving supervision office, and finally found out about the driving training class 20 years ago, and found the graduation photos of that period.
Twenty years ago, six young cadets surround the instructor.
Now, the instructor has died drunk, and four of the six students have also died, leaving only Jiichiro Numabuchi and the village secretary-chan still alive.
Shiraishi leaned on Maorilan's shoulder and glanced at the photo.
Tetsuji Inaba stands in the C position, he is very similar to Yusuke Sakata, and even the split ends in his hairstyle are exactly the same.
Shiraishi turned his head to glance at Yusuke Sakata and noticed that he was indeed a little nervous.
But fortunately, due to some kind of strength, and there happened to be a glimmer of light on the coach's face, which obscured his appearance, Conan and Hattori Heiji did not notice the problem for the time being.
- At a glance, the most attractive thing in the photo is Keichiro Numabuchi, who has not been captured so far.
"Twenty years ago, there must have been something bad in this driving class." Heiji Hattori speculated, trying to restore the truth:
"After Jiichiro Numabuchi escaped from prison, he wanted to use that incident to blackmail the village councilor and ask him to help him escape, but he refused. So he started to massacre the people involved as a way to threaten the parliamentarians? ”
Conan shook his head, feeling that something was wrong: "Except for the councilors, the others are just ordinary people, can this really threaten the township councillors who have many bodyguards?" ”
"Don't forget, it's likely that Kiichiro Numabuchi had an accomplice, and perhaps it was his accomplice's order to kill them.
"And I always feel that in this matter, Numabuchi Keiichiro is not dominant, because the one who kills is generally the oppressed party, unless Numabuchi Keiichiro is a murderer who kills people......"
Hattori Heiji is still not used to discussing problems with such a young child.
But he looked around and noticed that except for the cat's eyes, which was a little strange, no one else felt wrong.
