"That's the problem. At that time, we should have been the only ones ...... with the police."

Listening to Kudo Shinichi's words, Takato couldn't help but think about it, and then recalled that he proposed to everyone that the murderer was when he used playing cards to commit the countdown crime, and when Concubine Yingli was hospitalized, he couldn't help but say:

"No...... At that time, when I told the murderer's logic of the crime, I was in the hospital. At that time, in addition to us, there were also the doctors and nurses who were present at the time, as well as some patients who occasionally passed by...... But, could it be so coincidental? ”

Having said this, I thought that this second murderer had to learn about the first murderer's method of using playing cards to count down and attack the relevant characters after Fei Yingli's accident, so that the follow-up incidents could be created after that, so the only possible time to leak secrets was before he and Conan went to the auto repair shop and after the attack on Lawyer Fei.

In this case, the possibility becomes very small.

"No, there's another possibility."

However, in the face of Takato's rhetoric, Kudo Shinichi put forward another possibility somewhat seriously and seriously, and while speaking, Kudo Shinichi looked around at the people present-

"How, how?"

Looking at Kudo Shinichi's gaze that seemed to be scrutinizing, Mori Kogoro felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask with a little doubt.

"If you have to say it, if you know the details of the case, the people who may leak the news, can't we and the police be?"

In this regard, Kudo Shinichi explained very seriously:

"Maybe, even if we were communicating about the incident, someone accidentally overheard it......"

"You ......"

Suddenly, hearing Kudo Shinichi say this, Mori Kogoro looked a little angry, feeling that he almost doubted everyone like this.

"Hmmm......"

But in this regard, although Officer Twilight's expression was a little solemn, he could not deny the existence of this possibility, so he nodded silently and said solemnly:

"It's not impossible. Just like the wise brother said just now, at least from the time when Yingli was hospitalized, when the wise brother proposed that the murderer was counting down with playing cards, someone around may have heard the relevant details. And we can't guarantee that so many police officers involved in the investigation of this incident were not accidentally overheard while talking about it......"

"But in any case, it doesn't make sense to go into details."

For such a situation, Gao Yuan can't find a refuting point of view, and he really agrees with this conjecture very much, but really, this conjecture can't be verified-

"None of us can guarantee that we will find out all the details that might have been heard, so instead of thinking about how the second murderer knew about the fact that the murderer was using playing cards to count down the crimes, it would be better to find out the identity of the culprit from the other side!"

After thinking about it carefully, Gao Yuan decided to start an investigation into the incident from the other side.

"What?"

Officer Twilight asked.

"The crux of the matter is still with Mr. Asahihiro."

Takato responded.

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi was also very able to understand Takato's thoughts at this time, so he continued to explain along with his words:

"The two murderers, one of whom replaced the eye drops that Mr. Asahi used when he was driving the helicopter, which was very likely to cause Asahi Hiroki to have a driving accident while driving the helicopter. The other murderer was even more direct, poisoning Mr. Asahi Hiroki with an arrow coated with poison. It can be seen that the two murderers are both people who have the intention of killing Mr. Asahi Hiroki, and they are definitely people who have a deep hatred for Mr. Asahi Hiroki!

"Therefore, we now have to find a way to find out the interpersonal relationships around Mr. Asahihiro, and find out who may have a grudge against Mr. Asahihiki, and the murderer may be among them!"

"Heh......"

Just after Kudo Shinichi finished speaking, before Officer Twilight could make a statement, Maori Kogoro seemed to disagree with this statement, and deliberately replied against Kudo Shinichi:

"We asked Mr. Hiroki himself this question during the day, and he made it clear that he didn't have a grudge against anyone!"

"Maybe that's not true. Perhaps, he offended someone without an opinion, and it is possible that he himself does not know, right? ”

In the face of Maori Kogoro's rhetoric, Takato recalled the plot of the original work, and then thought of his own perception of Asahi Hiroki, feeling that a person with a character like him is easy to offend others, so he said so.

"Huh?"

Listening to Takato's statement, Maori Kogoro was puzzled for a moment, and then felt that this statement was obviously problematic, and immediately retorted:

"But in this way, Mr. Hiroki may have no opinion on who he has offended...... Even Mr. Hiroki himself doesn't know about this kind of thing, so there's no room for investigation, right? ”

"It's hard to say, but it's obvious that the two murderers want him to die, so it's obvious that the murderer and Mr. Asahiko must have a different relationship, which can't be wrong!"

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but say.

"Okay."

Faced with the current situation, hearing that Takato and Kudo Shinichi both thought that these two gangsters must have a great hatred for Asahiko Tree, Officer Twilight couldn't help but pause and said affirmatively:

"In that case, let's start investigating with the people around Mr. Asahi Hiroki now!"

"Of course, it's best to prioritize investigating Asahihiro's relationships with those who also know Mr. Mori."

After hearing Officer Twilight begin to prepare for the investigation, Takato tried to start narrowing it down:

"It's not clear whether the first gangster came for Mr. Mori or not, but first Officer Twilight, then Attorney Wai, me, Dr. Asasa and finally Mr. Asahi Hiroki, obviously, if we talk about Dr. Asasa up to now, we are still all people we all know, and we can't determine the specific scope, but when it comes to Mr. Asaki, who represents 'Nine', it is obvious that the scope has been narrowed down a bit......"

"In other words, the possibility that this murderer is Murakami Akira is still very high......"

With a somewhat solemn expression, Maori Kogoro held his chin in one hand and said, but at the same time shook his head-

"However, it's unlikely that Murakami knows Mr. Hiroki and wants his life, right?"

"That's right, Takagi. How is your investigation into Murakami's whereabouts after he was released from prison? ”

At this time, hearing the name "Murakami Sho" mentioned again, Officer Twilight couldn't help but ask about Wataru Takagi, who was originally sent to investigate the whereabouts of Murakami Sho, and wanted to know if there was any news about Murakami Sho.

In this regard, Takagi Wataru was a little helpless, just shook his head, and replied:

"No...... Because Murakami's parents have passed away a long time ago, and those distant relatives in other places have basically never had contact with him, and he has no friends in prison for so many years, so ......"

"If he has no relatives or friends, what kind of transportation did he take to leave the prison after he was released from prison alone?"

At this time, listening to Takagi Shibu's report, Gao Yuan suddenly asked.

"Ah...... This ......"

To this, Wataru Takagi was a little dazed and didn't know how to answer.

"Well, since that'......"

Seeing that Takato seemed to have some thoughts about Murakami's investigation, Officer Twilight thought about whether to let Takagi Wataru follow Takato's thoughts to continue to track down Murakami's whereabouts, but at this moment, Officer Twilight's mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was Officer Shiratori.

So, Officer Twilight picked up the phone—

"Hello? It's me...... What? Tomorrow morning, Mr. Fair Sawaki is going to the Sea Paradise 'Water Crystal' to make an appointment with Mr. Shang Shengyi? ”
