Chapter 49 Too late

After hearing this, Hattori Heiji smiled, clenched his right hand and stood in front of him. The anger he had just generated turned into a strong fighting spirit, and he shouted enthusiastically: "It's settled!"

"I like your attitude very much. The firm will definitely prosper with you." Chen Shi also smiled and extended his left hand for a fist bump.

His eyes became sharp, and Hattori Heiji was not to be outdone and counterattacked, "I will also treasure your apology video!"

There seemed to be an electric current flowing between the two people, colliding with each other.

"Look," Mao Lilan pulled the corners of her mouth to both sides of her face and flattened her lips, "Boys are like this, there will always be inexplicable friendships."

"Really~" Yuan Shan and Ye rolled their eyes, blushed slightly, and complained with a pout.

No longer arguing, Hattori Heiji took everyone to an office of the Osaka Prefectural Police Higashijiri Division. As the first witness of the corpse, they had to complete the transcript before continuing their journey.

Because of the clues Chen Shi gave about Councilor Sotaro Goji, he also needed to use police resources to investigate.

"Brother Heiji, we found the video of Zhang at that time." Yusuke Sakata ran over and waved the videotape in front of his eyes.

Then the videotape was inserted into the machine, and the scene of Sotaro Goji being surrounded by a large number of reporters for interviews six years ago due to corruption was shown on the big head TV, in which the dead Hidetoshi Nagao and Kazuto Noyasu appeared.

After reading it, Kogoro said: "I remember that after this incident happened, his secretary took the initiative to resign, and the matter was settled. Yes, his secretary was Nagao Hidetoshi."

"Yes, but the motive for this crime cannot explain the fact that Nishiguchi Tadai, who had nothing to do with Sotaro Goji, was killed in the same way." Hattori Heiji held his chin in deep thought and responded.

"As long as the death methods are the same and the suspicion of copycat crimes is ruled out, there must be a relationship," Chen Shi reminded. "We can't find the connection because we are stuck in the present. Maybe we can look to the past and maybe we can We found common ground.”

The first one to respond was Sakata Yusuke. He clapped his thigh and shouted: "What a great idea! Let's check to see if there is any connection between them in the past!"

After saying that, he trotted away again.

Although Hattori Heiji was also impatient, he could only wait for the news in the office.

Although his father Hattori Heizo is the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters and a police inspector, he has never officially registered with the police station. He can use the name of a detective to check the clues investigated by the police, but he cannot directly participate in it.

Fortunately, regarding the aunt Okazaki Sumiko who escaped from the scene of the incident, she quickly found the relevant information based on the license plate number. Hattori Heiji asked Kogoro to drive and took him, Chen Shi and Conan, who was quietly hiding, to the Saito Apartment.

After running around one day, Kogoro had sobered up from the wine he drank on the plane in the morning, and the car parked smoothly at the foot of the apartment building.

Pushing open the car door, Hattori Heiji anxiously came to Okazaki Sumiko's door, put his hand on the door handle, and pressed it with trepidation.

The lock cylinder retracts and the door opens.

"We're late!" he said to Conan behind him.

In the car, Hattori Heiji tried to communicate with Okazaki Sumiko in advance through the phone, but failed to get through. He thought that the murderer's next target might be her, so he asked Kogoro to turn on his police lights, and the whole journey was smooth. Unexpectedly, Still too late.

Conan put his hand on the seat of the chair, feeling the slight heat from the feedback, and analyzed: "It should have only been a few minutes, look for the apartment floor and the surrounding area!"

They did what they said, and the two of them worked hard to check the apartment layer by layer until they saw Kogoro and Chen Shi blocking the door of the public toilet outside after leaving.

"Where did you go!?" Kogoro shouted, "The body was found in the toilet, and he didn't answer the phone!"

Hattori Heiji saw the corpse inside through the gap, then took out his cell phone and found that it was out of battery. He touched his forehead with an annoyed look on his face, "I should have brought two more batteries with me when I went out!"

"I came to the toilet and found the body on the ground. Judging from the degree of blood coagulation, it should have been dead for a few minutes. I asked Uncle Maoli to search the surrounding area. No suspicious person was found. The police should be arriving soon." Chen Shi looked at his watch and said.

He went in to check the body and found that what Chen Shi said was true. Hattori Heiji lamented: "Let's go back and see if they have found out the news."

After waiting for a while, the police arrived and took over the scene, and the group returned to the police station.

Before Kogoro's car stopped, Sakata Yusuke appeared out of nowhere and thrust a photo through the window to Hattori Heiji, "Hey Heiji, where have you been? I'm looking for you everywhere!"

We found out that the deceased and Sotaro Goji both participated in the Hyogo driver’s license training test twenty years ago!”

Taking the photo, his eyes swept over the dead people, and finally landed on a man with long hair shawl-length on his head, sparse eyebrows on his face, sunken eyes, thin cheeks and turned-up nostrils.

"This is Numabuchi Kiichiro!" Hattori Heiji exclaimed.

Then he shook his head and said, "This guy has been running away for a long time. The police are looking for suspected cases, but there are no clues yet. If he really did it, it will take a long time to catch him. "

Continuing to look at the photo, a face that was 80% similar to Yusuke Sakata appeared. Hattori Heiji's pupils suddenly shrank, and the hand holding the photo became harder. He glanced at Yusuke Sakata outside the car from the corner of his vision, and finally chose to put the photo away. , "It seems that we really have to wait for this guy to show up. It's not too early now, so let's go to my house for dinner first!"

"A fugitive!?" Kogoro recalled his past in the criminal police team and said, "Basically, as long as the case is related to the fugitive, it will take a long time. A case I handled before was like this. That person I fled into the mountains for two whole years, and finally I surrendered because I couldn't hold it any longer."

Unlike Kogoro, Conan, who was sitting next to Hattori Heiji, noticed that there was something wrong with him before putting away the photo. He was as curious as if he was crawling with dense insects and wanted to question the truth on the spot.

"In that case, please ask Mr. Sakata to call down the people upstairs." Chen Shi smiled and said to Sakata Yusuke, then turned to Hattori Heiji and said, "It seems that this bet has no result. But my office is still ready for your arrival at any time."

"Haha, I will go there to have fun when I have time!" Hattori Heiji returned to his enthusiastic idiot look, laughing and saying.

How did the police cars come and how did they leave, back on the road to Hattori Heiji's house?

In the car, Hattori Heiji took off the amulet around his neck and hung it on Conan. "I'll leave this with you for now. I'll ask you for it when I feel better!"
