The police searched the mountains for a long time with a few police dogs, but they never found Jiichiro Numabuchi and, of course, Shiraishi.

After learning from the owner of Kanaya that a car was missing from the garage and finding the same muddy footprints in the garage as on the corridor of the side entrance of the hotel, they both understood that Jiichiro Numabuchi had probably driven away.

But that doesn't stop the search, after all, there is an innocent citizen in the woods.

The search was carried out until noon, and the body of Hidetoshi Nagao was also found in the nature park.

Because of the same characteristic of "heart and mouth wallet", the police immediately reported the case to their colleagues on the mountain.

Only together, it can barely be regarded as an accident.

But now, there are two people who die exactly the same way. And the fingerprints extracted from the knife can also match the fingerprints of Jiichiro Numabuchi.

Coupled with the history of Serial Murder by Jiichiro Numabuchi, the police attach great importance to this matter, believing that this is also a serial murder case, and there may be other victims in the future.

The police left a few people to continue the search for Shiraishi, who had strayed into the deep forest, while others expanded the scope to find the lost vehicle.

Boss Jingu wandered on the edge of life and death, and at this time he was not in the mood to continue holding activities.

Moreover, anyway, the goal of showing off the book collection has been achieved this time, so I will take advantage of this opportunity to dismiss the event and do it next time.

He didn't go into the after-dinner reasoning session, he invited the guests to a meal, stayed for one night, and the next day, each of them was given a set of Sherlock Holmes gifts, and the people were sent away.

The members who participated in the activity left very dissatisfied, some made an appointment for a car by themselves, and some went back in a police car.

Heiji Hattori, Conan, and Moriran get into Yusuke Sakata's car.

On the one hand, it is because of the good location chosen by Yusuke Sakata for parking, and on the other hand, it is also because Hattori Heiji is very familiar with Yusuke Sakata.

In Yusuke Sakata's previous plan, he wanted to use Heiji Hattori, a detective with a bit of an impulse and some background, to get close to his last target - a high-powered parliamentarian.

For this reason, Yusuke Sakata did not lack the opportunity to make contact with Hattori.

Maolilan actually wanted to stay and continue to look for someone.

But Conan felt that Shiraishi was not an expert in wilderness survival, and he should not be able to run too far.

Since the police didn't find it today, it means that Shiraishi may have met other people on the road after getting rid of Numabuchi Jiichiro, rubbed the car back to the city, or strayed into some mountain house.

Instead of staying on the mountain and looking for people with police dogs, it is better to take advantage of Hattori's relationship and go down the mountain to check the vehicles passing by on the winding mountain road and what households are within a dozen kilometers.

When Conan analyzed this to Moriran, Heiji Hattori stared at him silently from the rearview mirror.

This kid is really weird. Whether it's IQ or calmness, it's too child-like.

I heard that he has a good relationship with Kudo Shinichi, if he secretly hides a bug on his body, or turns on his mobile phone on hands-free, and accepts Kudo Shinichi's remote guidance......

No, Conan didn't have headphones in his ears, and he didn't pause at all when he spoke, let alone rote memorization.

With such a long line, how could a primary school student memorize it so firmly after listening to it once.

…… It's greasy. It's definitely greasy.

Heiji Hattori decided to intensify his observation.

Intuition told him that if he wanted to find Kudo Shinichi to fight it out one by one, the chattering child in front of him was definitely a key.

……

Neither Maoryan nor Conan had a good breakfast, and when they arrived in the city, their stomachs sounded hungry.

Heiji Hattori heard it.

Remembering that the two of them were also friends who had solved the case together, and it was the bait that lured out Kudo Shinichi, he made a friendly proposal

"It's rare for you to come to Osaka, so I'd like to invite you to eat some signature food. I happened to know that there was a shop nearby, and the udon noodles were very authentic. ”

Hattori Hei didn't go to a big hotel, but a small noodle restaurant with a very ordinary appearance, and he usually had to go to rub it every three or five days, and he didn't get tired of eating.

Yusuke Sakata was silently relieved to hear this decision.

There were a lot of unplanned things, but luckily, things were still going well.

……

After eating at the noodle restaurant, Yusuke Sakata pretended to answer the phone and went out first.

He drove the voice changer in the car and called the owner of the noodle shop to say that there were strange people on the roof and asked him to go to the roof to have a look.

There's nothing to lose by taking a look.

The boss came to the roof of the building without knowing anything, pressed the doorknob, and the mechanism was activated. The corpse fell to the ground and slammed into the front cover of Yusuke Sakata's car.

- This position was also calculated by him in advance, so he didn't have to worry about smashing other passers-by and making things bigger.

When the owner of the noodle shop walked to the railing in confusion and looked down, he saw that Hattori Heiji and Conan, who had fallen from the building, had already rushed out.

At this time, people's first reaction, in addition to hiding, is to look up at the place where the body fell.

As soon as the two looked up, they saw a backlit figure upstairs, and this "gangster" dared to stay where he was.

They rushed forward.

Mao Lilan ran out half a step slowly, covering his eyes and glancing at the corpse in the car.

After seeing the purse in the heart of the corpse, her face changed, and she rolled up her cuffs and ran upstairs with the two detectives.

If the murderer happened to be upstairs, he might know where Shiraishi is now!

Yusuke Sakata, who was in the car, saw them go away, picked up the phone again, and pretended to be contacting the police station.

But in fact, he was calling his next target, Gangqi Chengjiang.

Gangqi Chengjiang divorced last year and now lives alone in a nearby Xidu apartment. The trajectory of this person's life is very fixed, and at this time, she should be at home.

Yusuke Sakata turns on the voice changer and calls her to trick her into going to the neighborhood so that she can see the corpse of Noyasu and the people.

Gangqi Chengjiang is usually more gossipy and loves to watch lively.

After she left, Yusuke Sakata called again and left threatening messages such as "You are next" on the answering machine.

Gang Qi Chengjiang, who was going home after watching the excitement, would tremble with fright when he heard it, and then obeyed the "police" who came to help her.

After completing a series of operations, Yusuke Sakata called back to the police station and told them that there was one more victim.

The three of them went upstairs to take a look, but they found nothing except to crack the method of the corpse falling at a regular time.

There was no Yoshiichiro Numabuchi on the roof, only one who didn't know what to do, and only said that someone called him to come upstairs to see the situation.

The three of them wondered why Jiichiro Numabuchi used such a complicated way to kill people, and even more puzzled how a fugitive who had just escaped and hid in the mountains every day made an anonymous phone with a voice changer.

This matter is full of suspicions, and no matter how you look at it, Jiichiro Numabuchi has at least one accomplice.

At the mention of accomplices, Heiji Hattori suddenly thought of Shiraishi.
