An accomplice of Jiichiro Numabuchi?

Does it mean that in the original work, the trace of Kiichiro Numabuchi was found, but the one in the cabin where he was, the murderer of this incident?

Listening to the words of Otaki Goro, subconsciously, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think like this-

If I'm not mistaken, in the original work, the murderer of this case was a policeman who accompanied Hattori Heiji to entertain Conan and others from Tokyo.

And the identity of this policeman is the son of the driving class instructor who died in a car accident due to drunk driving in the incident that happened in Hyogo Prefecture 20 years ago, as mentioned by Goro Otaki just now.

Because he looked very similar to his dead father, when the policeman found the wanted Numabuchi Jiichiro, Numabuchi Jiichiro, who was already panicked because he had fled from the organization, recognized the policeman as the instructor of the driving training class back then, and told the truth about the incident that year.

As a result, after the policeman learned the truth about his father's death, in order to take revenge on those students in the driving training class that year, he trapped Jiichiro Numabuchi in a cabin so that he would not be discovered by others, and then the policeman launched a revenge action against those students in the driving training class that year, and began to kill the students of the driving training class that year, and planned to finally let Jiichiro Numabuchi bear the charge of murder-

And this is also the purpose of the policeman in the original work to lock up Jiichiro Numabuchi.

Although this act is an illegal detention of Numabuchi Jiichiro, in some cases, it also protects Numabuchi Keichiro from being discovered by other police or the public during this time.

So, it seems understandable to call them accomplices.

However, the next answer of Otaki Gorou made Gao Yuan a little unsure of how to answer-

"In the case in Tokyo a year ago, wasn't it on the way to escape from Jiichiro Numabuchi that someone helped dispose of the surveillance camera that was captured near the scene of the crime? Therefore, our police have always believed that behind Jiichiro Numabuchi, there must be an accomplice who assisted him in committing the crime. And this time, after he came to Osaka, there has been no news about him for so long, and I think that accomplice is helping him...... Therefore, Mr. Akechi, who was able to help the Tokyo police discover the traces of Jiichiro Numabuchi last year, will definitely be able to help us a lot in this regard! ”

seems to trust Takato very much.,Otaki Goro said all the reasons for inviting Takato this time.。

And at the same time, Otaki Goro's trust in Takato is indeed sincere-

After all, when I first met Gao Yuan last year, Gao Yuan was still a little-known little detective, and he was able to solve the murder incident in the Internet café with Pingji, and later, Gao Yuan also found out that there was another secret in Mr. Nishikawa's car accident.

Therefore, based on his impression of Takato last year, Goro Otaki has enough trust in Takato's ability.

But at this moment, compared to Otaki Goro's trust in him, after hearing the Osaka Prefectural Police will find his specific reason that Otaki Goro said just now, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little helpless-

Indeed, in last year's incident, Jiichiro Numabuchi was able to escape from the scene because someone helped him deal with the surveillance content. And this time in Osaka, there are indeed people who are shielding Jiichiro Numabuchi and preventing him from being discovered by the police......

But the problem is that the two groups of people behind this are completely different when someone assists Jiichiro Numabuchi twice!

In last year's incident, it was obvious that Numabuchi Keiichiro was still a member of the organization, and it was obviously the people of the organization who helped him clean up the aftermath, but at this moment, it should have been Numabuchi Keiichiro who had escaped from the organization, and it was actually the murderer of this case who would help him, and the two parties couldn't talk about it at all......

Thinking like this, thinking about what he should say after arriving at the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, Takato couldn't help but think silently-

After all, judging from the current clues, the truth of the incident should not deviate much from the original, but the current investigation speed of the Osaka Prefectural Police seems to be faster than that of Conan and Hattori Heiji in the original work......

In this regard, compared to Gao Yuan's thinking, Xiao Wai is a little worried about Gao Yuan-

Obviously, the organization should also arrest him, who escaped from the organization. So, in the eyes of the police, there may be someone who is assisting Jiichiro Numabuchi, is it possible that it has something to do with the organization?

Based on this consideration, whether Gao Yuan's assistance to the Osaka Prefectural Police because of the Numabuchi Keichiro incident will lead to anything bad is a point that Xiao Ai is worried about.

In this regard, looking at Gao Yuan's expression seriously at the moment, Xiao Wai was a little anxious in her heart, thinking that it would be better to find an opportunity to tell Gao Yuan what she knew quickly......

In this way, in the car of Goro Otaki, Takato and Xiao Ai quickly arrived at the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Looking at the building in front of him, under the leadership of Otaki Goro, after Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai walked into it, they were taken to a conference room, and then they saw Otaki Goro and said:

"Mr. Wise, you wait here for a while, and I'll report to the head minister and the minister of Yuanshan, and I'll be back soon."

In this regard, Gao Yuan nodded, and after watching Otaki Goro walk out of this conference room, Xiao Ai noticed that there was no monitoring equipment in the conference room, and no one was passing by outside for the time being, so he couldn't help but take advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Ai said to Gao Yuan in a low and serious voice:

"Did you know that Jiichiro Numabuchi ......?"

"Originally, he was favored by the organization, thinking that with his agile skills, he could be trained into a professional killer. However, it was later discovered that he was not successful, so he was abandoned by the organization, and before he almost became a test subject for drug experiments, he was a member of the bottom of the organization who fled because he was afraid of the organization. ”

Hearing that Xiao Ai seemed to be about to explain the situation about Numabuchi Jiichiro, Takato also whispered back, to show that he knew what he was going to face.

In this regard, hearing Takato say in such detail, Xiao Ai couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't understand why Takato knew so much about Numabuchi Jiichiro's experience.

But at the same time, because he knew that Takato knew about Numabuchi Jiichiro, it was obvious that he was ...... this time

No, it should be said that maybe last time, last year's incident about Jiichiro Numabuchi, Takato's investigation was already measured, so his worries seem to be a little unnecessary......

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief, although there were many doubts in her heart, but listening to the footsteps coming from outside the conference room, Xiao Ai continued to ask more.

Then, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai soon saw each other, Otaki Goro, who walked in from outside the door, and a middle-aged man with a modest face behind him-

"This is the famous wise gentleman, right? I've heard the little girl and the son of the Pingzang family mention you, and it's really a long time coming. It's a bit presumptuous to invite you here in such a hurry this time......"

After entering the door, Goro Otaki seemed to want to make an introduction first, but the middle-aged man stepped forward to greet Takato first.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan also nodded and responded:

"Presumably you're the chief inspector of Toyama Ginjiro? Long admiration. It is also my duty to be able to help the police investigate and arrest the murderer as soon as possible, as a detective! ”

Looking at the other party's face, Takato probably recognized the identity of the other party, he was the head of the criminal department of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and he was also Toyama Kazuha's father, Toyama Ginjiro.

In this regard, when they met for the first time, Takato and Toyama Ginjiro exchanged a few words of greeting, and when Toyama Ginjiro was about to turn the topic to the case, Takato couldn't help but say:

"By the way, Chief Inspector Toyama, I listened to Officer Otaki's basic explanation of this incident in the car. I thought, can you first investigate the incident of the death of the instructor of the driving class due to drunk driving? Although this incident may involve Jiichiro Numabuchi, I feel that this incident is more like revenge! ”

- As long as the development of events is still the same as the original, then finding the murderer will be able to learn the whereabouts of Jiichiro Numabuchi from the murderer's mouth, so Takato's idea is to solve the current incident first, and then the investigation of Jiichiro Numabuchi will not be effortless at all......
