Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 247 246, Sano was beaten by Hattori!

And the most critical thing is that among the six members of the driving test class, apart from these four people, there is also a congressman and a serial murderer who is currently wanted.

The existence of Kiichiro Numabuchi.

"You can't be wrong, this must be the problem!"

After getting the photos of the six students and the instructor from that year, Hattori Heiji was more certain about the problem. When he changed hands, he was confused because the date when the six people's driver's licenses were obtained was not right, and began to investigate the reason.

But at this moment, Haibara Ai came closer to Conan and muttered: "This Numabuchi Kiichiro seemed to have been a member of the organization."

"……What did you say!?"

Conan, who was originally struggling with the details of this case, suddenly changed his expression after hearing this: "You said that this Kiichiro Numabuchi was once a member of the organization!?"

"Um."

Hui Yuan Ai nodded and explained what she understood about the situation.

"The organization once took a fancy to his skills and wanted to recruit him as a peripheral member, but he lost control too easily and was not suitable for the organization's style, so he was later arranged to undergo drug experiments. I don't know when he escaped.

"

"...All in all, although this guy knows very little about the organization, it is at least certain that he is very dangerous."

"I see……"

Conan responded with some disappointment. He thought he could catch a big fish this time.

It's a pity that the last time at Abeido Hotel, several members of the codename showed up openly or covertly, but in the end, I couldn't catch any of them.

...The only one who was caught out by Sano by accident, and was silenced.

"What did you say?"

Hattori Heiji, who had already checked the information, came over.

"It's nothing, I'm talking to Edogawa about my holiday homework."

Just as Conan was about to answer, Haihara Ai came up with an excuse first.

...Is this because he doesn’t want to involve Hattori Heiji too deeply?

"Holiday homework?"

Hattori Heiji, who still didn't know that Haibara Ai and Conan belonged to the same species, squatted next to Conan after being stunned for a moment, and asked jokingly: "Hey, Kudo, is it okay to ask a high school student to do the holiday homework of an elementary school student?

Feeling really good?"

This guy...

Conan showed a pair of dead eyes: "Okay, did you find anything?"

"It's a pity that apart from the fact that the coach died in a car accident while driving drunk, there was no other gain."

Speaking of business, Hattori Heiji immediately sighed: "Now we can only go to the congressman's house to see if there are any other clues."

"Well, let's go then."

However, none of the four people in the group expected that just as they were about to go out for verification, they bumped into Sano who was returning with Kiichiro Numabuchi on his back.

"Sano?"

Seeing the person carried on Sano's shoulders, Conan and Haibara Ai's expressions suddenly changed: "What are you doing? Where did you kidnap this person from!?"

...What are these two guys talking about?

Sano glanced at the two fake children, casually threw Numabuchi Kiichiro to the ground, then looked at Sakata and asked: "Officer Sakata, does he look familiar to you?"

Seeing the face of the unconscious Numabuchi Kiichiro on the ground, the faces of the four people suddenly became even more stunned.

"Numa, Numabuchi Kiichiro!?"

"Where did you find this guy??"

Sano calmly smoked a cigarette, looked at Sakata who had noticed something was wrong, and explained: "I originally planned to go for a walk in the mountains, but I didn't expect that I happened to bump into this guy in the wooden house, and I happened to hear some interesting things."

"Interesting thing?"

Before Conan could ask in detail, Sakata couldn't bear it anymore and began to confess: "Oh, I didn't expect to be discovered by you like this. It's really..."

"...Sakata?"

Hattori Heiji looked at Sakata, a bad premonition welling up in his heart.

"I'm sorry, brother Heiji, I actually killed those four guys..."

Sakata smiled bitterly and explained his motive for killing.

It turned out that Sakata's father was once an instructor at a driving school, and the four current deceased, as well as their other two classmates, including Kiichiro Numabuchi, were all students taught by his father.

But then one day, Sakata's father was killed in a car accident while driving drunk. Sakata originally thought that his father was very safety-conscious and could not drive drunk. Later, he accidentally caught Kiichiro Numagachi and learned from the confused man that he was driving drunk.

Know the truth.

... Probably six of them got together and tampered with the brakes of Sakata's father's car in an attempt to scare the other party. Unexpectedly, they ended up killing someone.

So Sakata, who discovered the truth, became angry and locked up Numagachi Kiichiro. He planned to kill the other five people and then kill him, pretending to commit suicide out of fear of crime.

And this... well, it can be regarded as a legitimate reason for revenge, which naturally caused Hattori Heiji and the others to have complicated expressions.

Only Sano looked calm.

Firstly, Sano didn't care about this trivial matter, and secondly, he had already heard these things from Numabuchi Kiichiro before at the cabin. Hearing them again would only make him feel boring and boring.

...But to be honest, although Sano did suspect that Numabuchi Kiichiro was related to this case that he didn't even know much about, and even played a vital role.

But Sano really didn't expect that once the factor of Numabuchi Kiichiro came out, the whole case would be solved directly.

According to Sano's original prediction, this case would probably not be concluded until midnight. It was precisely because of this that he chose to leave the team to deal with Kiichiro Numabuchi first.

For things to develop so quickly, it can only be said that this kid Sakata has no brains.

Even if we put aside the existence of Kiichiro Numabuchi, why does this girl have to pierce the driver's license of each victim with a knife? It's so fancy, and it's like making a movie?

...Oh, Sakata seems to have mentioned this just now. The remaining guy is a congressman and is protected by bodyguards. He wants to deliberately reveal clues so that he can have an excuse to get closer to the investigation.

But even so, Sano still felt that it was outrageous. Anyway, if it was him... well, Sakata couldn't be him.

Facing the enemy who killed his father, it seems normal to be unable to remain calm and make some cruel moves.

Forget it, it's none of your business, just finish things early and get off work early.

"Now that everything has been discovered, my life will be over..."

And just when Sano was distracted, Sakata, who had confessed everything, suddenly pulled out his pistol.

Seeing this, Sano subconsciously took a step forward, immediately disarming the opponent and knocking him to his knees.

...No, this guy doesn't seem to be planning to break the pot and take away a few people to be buried with him before leaving, but is planning to commit suicide, so what should I do in a hurry?

Seeing that Sakata was still trying to struggle to break free of his restraints, Sano wanted to let go and comply with the other's wish, but unexpectedly Hattori Heiji stepped forward and slapped him.

"Damn guy, take your responsibility and come to Sakata. Can committing suicide solve the problem!?"

Hattori Heiji roared with hatred on his face, obviously wanting to slap Sakata in the face to see if he could wake him up.

It's a pity that because Sakata struggled too much, Hattori Heiji's slap was deflected.

...and hit Sano on the face behind Sakata.

Even the cigarette in Sano's mouth was knocked away by Hattori Heiji's slap.

Sano was stunned after being slapped.

Hattori Heiji, who slapped Sano, was also stunned.

Sakata, who was supposed to be beaten, was also confused, and the two tomboys who were watching were even more confused.

...Sano was actually beaten by Hattori!?

In the dead air, a bright red palm print gradually appeared on Sano's fair face, fully proving that the force of Hattori Heiji's slap was definitely not small.

The kneeling Sakata stopped struggling and blinked instinctively, while the two tomboys gasped at the same time, their mouths slightly opened, their heads tilted back, and their eyes widened.
