"This is it."

Katayama walked to the address Conan gave him, and Conan had planned to come over, but the weekend had passed, so he had to go to school so as not to be suspected.

Zorro stood at his feet, a rare smile...... Hissi! Katayama brought it to investigate the case today, and sure enough, it was more important and reliable than the stinky squirrel!

In short, Conan was very reluctant to ask Katayama to solve the case, and he really wanted to solve it himself.........

"All creations can reflect the author's heart, and the deliberately chosen killing method is also a portrayal of the murderer's heart."

Conan left such a sentence and left the address to him.

If it was usual, Conan would probably guide Mori to this place, but now Katayama is a little more reliable in his eyes, so he will ask him to come.

Of course, Yukiko is the only one left to look at the store.........

“…… Staff dormitories? ”

Looking at the sign in front of the courtyard, Katayama realized that this place was originally a dormitory for employees of a nearby factory.

That is, the first two victims were both former employees of that factory.

"Yo, little brother, are you looking for someone?"

A strong man in a white vest watched Katayama stand at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, so he walked up and accosted him.

"Ah, sort of...... Uncle, are you a worker here? ”

Katayama came back to his senses and was about to ask for what he wanted to know.

"No, I used to be an employee here, and today I'm here to find an old friend."

The uncle laughed and patted Katayama on the shoulder.

"Who are you looking for? Just tell me, I think I know all the people here! ”

"Well, that's the case, uncle, do you know Sana Mizuhara and Matsudaira Masako?"

Seeing that this person was so enthusiastic, Katayama didn't say much, and first said the names of the two victims.

Anyway, when the case is solved or defined as an unsolved case, this information will still be released, and it is not something that cannot be said.

"Oh...... They, they're workers here, what's wrong? ”

The man seemed to hesitate, but quickly came back to his senses and asked Katayama.

"No, it's nothing, uncle, can you take me to their old dormitory?"

After thinking about it for a while, Katayama still planned not to say that the two were dead, but just vaguely confused the past.

"Yes, it's okay, that building shouldn't be occupied by ......... right now."

"Is there no one in the whole building?"

"Ah, yes."

………

The uncle walked in with Katayama, bypassed the three new buildings, and walked straight into an old building that looked like it should be demolished.

Zorro sniffed in the hallway, as if he was curious about everything.

Katayama followed the man and continued to walk towards it.

"This is where the old workers lived in the past, but later there were more and more employees, and a new dormitory building was built, and the building was temporarily shelved."

"It's too extravagant, so it's not unusable......"

Katayama complained, do you have a lot of neon land? Such a large building is empty.........

"Ah, indeed...... It's more because of the previous incident......"

The uncle whispered, but the voice was too small, and he didn't seem to want Katayama to hear it, but Katayama still heard it a little bit.........

"That thing ......"

Sure enough, what happened here, and it seemed that this uncle didn't want him to know at all.

It's a big deal, he went back and asked Conan to check it out......

………

"Well, this is it, where they live......"

The man pointed to the two iron gates.

3—4 and ...... 3—6。

"Compartment, ......"

"Yes, at that time, there were fewer workers, all of them were one room, although it was not big, it was barely enough for couples to take care of children......"

The man continued, his expression seemed a little downcast, but he quickly put this expression on his face and looked at Katayama heartily again.

"So, little brother, what are you looking for them?"

Zorro looked at the man vigilantly, and at the same time his claws silently stretched out, this man ...... There seems to be murderous intent......

"Ah, there's something important, but since they're not here, forget it......"

"That's right, that little brother, I'll send you out."

The man patted Katayama's shoulder again with a big grin, making him a little unable to straighten his waist, this guy is really strong.........

……

"Uncle, you said that you used to be an employee here, so now you don't work here anymore?"

On the way out, Katayama suddenly spoke coldly, which made the man stunned, but he quickly recovered.

"Ah, because I'm really uncomfortable in one place, so I'm working as a freight driver in the city now."

"That's ......"

"Well, little brother, then I'm going to send you here, I'm going to see my old friend."

Katayama led Zorro outside, but as soon as he got around the corner, Zorro bit Katayama's trouser leg.

"Huh? What's wrong? That ......"

He wanted to ask Zorro if he had found something, but he followed Zorro's eyes...... The uncle had a hammer in his hand all the time......

Also called a hammer...... It's the kind you usually find in your toolbox, good guys...... It wasn't supposed to kill him here, but he didn't do it without too much in-depth investigation.........

Picked up a life.........

Katayama swallowed, took out his newly bought flip phone, and called Conan.........

………

“……… So, when the bottom edge of the triangle and the height appear ........."

The teacher drew a right triangle with a triangular ruler on the blackboard and demonstrated it to the students in the seats.

Conan yawned, and sure enough, the elementary school curriculum was really boring.........

Buzz—————

A buzzing sound suddenly sounded in his pocket, and it was Kudo Shinichi's mobile phone ringing......

Some of the classmates had already heard the sound and their eyes had already shifted, so Conan hurriedly raised his hand.........

"Teacher, I'm going to the bathroom!"

………

"You guy, call to see the time......"

Conan stood in one of the school's storerooms, where no one usually came, and phone calls were not easy to detect.

"Okay, don't say so much, you go and ask your almighty dad to check if there is any big news about the dormitory building of the Mihua Heavy Factory before...... The focus is on the third floor......... Did anything happen on the third floor......"

After Katayama finished speaking, he hung up the phone and looked back at the old dormitory building...... Does it have anything to do with these two murders?

"The specific murder method is also a portrayal of the murderer's heart........."

Conan's words echoed in his mind, a specific method of killing? In other words, does starvation have a special meaning for the murderer.........
