Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 196 Hattori Heiji’s suspicion

Okazaki Sumie hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In addition to the few people who are dead now, those who participated in the plan were me, Sotaro Goji, and Kiichiro Numabuchi."

"What!?" Several people looked shocked.

Of course, Akira Hanomiya, who already knew the plot, and Yusuke Sakata, who was the murderer, were naturally pretending.

"Unexpectedly, in addition to Goji, Numabuchi Kiichiro, who killed three people in a row, was also a participant in that incident." Hattori Heiji said with a solemn expression.

"I remember he seems to be still running away, right?" Conan frowned.

"Besides you, does anyone else know about this?" Yu Gongming asked.

"No more, we should be the only ones left," Okazaki Sumie said.

"Well, then, Officer Sakata, let's take Ms. Okazaki to the police station first, protect her, and check on things from twenty years ago."

"Okay!" Officer Sakata nodded.

"Thank you... thank you!" Sumie Okazaki breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he could go to the police station.

Afterwards, several people got into the patrol car and rushed towards the police station.

…………

Osaka Higashijiri Police Station.

"Is this the graduation photo from twenty years ago?" Hattori Heiji looked at the black and white photo faxed from the Osaka General Office in front of him.

"The faces of Numabuchi Kiichiro, Goji Sotaro, and others all matched up one by one..." Hattori Heiji's eyes paused slightly when he scanned a face, and then handed the photo to Hanomiya Akikazu as if nothing had happened. Conan View.

"Currently, it seems that Numabuchi and the other Goji who are at large have motives for committing the crime." Officer Sakata said solemnly:

"Numabuchi, as a fugitive, would probably use what happened back then to threaten Xiangsi and ask him to help him avoid being hunted by the police, and killing those people was to intimidate Xiangsi."

"As for Xiang Si, he is about to run for Congress recently. In order to prevent this scandal from being exposed, he also has the same reason to kill the insiders."

"The police over at Numabuchi have been investigating, and there are currently no clues. Why don't we go to Goji's side and have a look first?" Hattori Heiji said.

"Okay, but wait a moment. I need to go to the bathroom first." Yusuke Sakata scratched his head in embarrassment and turned around to leave the office.

"Hanomiya, did you bring your mobile phone?" Hattori Heiji suddenly asked.

"I've got it, do you want to use it?" Yu Gongming took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"Thank you." Hattori Heiji took the phone and started to make a call:

"Hey! Dad, it's me. You should know all the clues from our previous investigation... Well, can you help me check some things about the driving school instructor Inaba Tetsuji, especially his family? The situation in recent years..."

After Hattori Heiji chatted with the other person for a few words, he hung up the phone.

"Did you call your dad?" Yu Gongming took back his phone and asked.

"Yeah, let him help confirm some things."

"Confirm? It seems that you also discovered the problem in that photo!" Yu Gongming smiled.

"I think it's too similar," Conan pointed out.

"I hope it's not what I thought?" Hattori Heiji suddenly began to feel depressed.

"Sorry everyone, I kept you waiting for so long. Let's leave now!" Yusuke Sakata stood at the door of the office and greeted everyone inside.

After several detectives looked at each other, they followed Yusuke Sakata into the patrol car with normal expressions and drove to Sotaro's home.

…………

In the evening, in front of a commercial building in Shinsaibashi.

Several girls with outstanding looks walked out of the building.

They had contented smiles on their faces, holding varying amounts of paper bags in their hands, and were chatting enthusiastically.

"Originally I just wanted to go shopping, but in the end I couldn't help but buy a few clothes." Meng Yu sighed.

"What's the matter? Meng Yu, you look really beautiful in that skirt. You will definitely make your boyfriend fascinated!" He Ye said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Meng Yu smiled.

"And you are so kind to your boyfriend. You are going shopping by yourself and you want to buy him clothes..." Heye said, and glanced at a men's jacket in the paper bag Mengyu was carrying.

"What's the point? If my boyfriend wears nice clothes, I can look good when I go out with him. And compared to the birthday gift he gave me, buying him a few clothes is really nothing." Meng Yu seemed to say Recalling something, a light blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Eh? What kind of gift is it?" Heye asked curiously.

Mengyu then vividly described what happened on his birthday to Heye.

"It's so romantic..." Heye said with envy, then showed a look of disappointment:

"However, it should be impossible for me to experience such a romantic confession..."

"Be more confident. Many times, he is so coy when getting along with you just because he didn't pierce this layer of window paper. When he really musters up the courage to take that step, you will find that he is actually It's more romantic than you think." Mengyu enlightened.

"Is...is that so?" Although Heye's tone was questioning, the expectation in her eyes betrayed her mood at this time.

"Of course, you have to believe in my experience as a person who has been through this before!" Mengyu affirmed.

While the few people were talking, they had already arrived at the car.

Mouri Kogoro was leaning on the car door and smoking a cigarette.

"I'm sorry, uncle, for keeping you waiting!" Meng Yu said with a smile.

"You girls are troublesome when you go shopping!" Mouri Kogoro complained.

"Okay dad, it's getting late. We are also planning to go to Hattori's house now, so you can just be a little more tired!" Xiaolan reassured.

"I was just about to tell you. Just now I wanted to drive around while you were shopping, but the fire couldn't be lit." Mouri Kogoro said helplessly.

"Does that mean the car broke down?" He Ye said in surprise.

"Yes, so, I have now contacted the car rental company to tow the car. Next, we can only take a taxi or take the tram." Mouri Kogoro said.

"By the way, didn't Hattori say that he arranged for some police officers to drive for us? Call him now and ask him to help contact other police officers to pick us up!" Xiaolan's eyes lit up.

"But Heiji didn't bring his cell phone!" Heye said.

"It's okay, I'll call Ming. He should stay with Hattori." Mengyu took out her mobile phone and started to make a call.

"Hey! Ming, what's going on over there... Oh, that's it, um, the car we rented broke down. You asked Hattori to contact the other police officers who entertained us to pick us up... um, I understand, if I will contact you if I find any clues here...Okay, bye!"

Meng Yu put down the phone, nodded to a few people and said with a smile: 'Okay, let's just wait here for a while. ’

"How are the two boys doing with their investigation?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

Meng Yu briefly explained what Yu Gongming told him.

"If it's really that guy from Soji who did it, it might be difficult to handle. After all, the energy of a current council member is extraordinary." Mouri Kogoro sighed.

"That's not necessarily true. When Officer Sakata came, he said that Hattori's father was having a meeting about this matter. If someone at the level of Hattori Heizo's headquarter intervened, Goji would have to think twice about making small moves." Meng Yu rules have different views.

"Forget it, why are you thinking so much? It has nothing to do with us anyway." Mouri Kogoro stretched himself and ended the topic directly.

After several people waited for another ten minutes, just as the car rental company's tow truck left, a patrol car stopped in front of everyone.
