Detectives of Detective World

As you can tell from its name, Nishi-Shingle Plateau is a high-lying plain.

So there are mountains here, but they are not high, it is just a small slope.

Hattori Heiji followed him all the way towards the hillside. When he saw the densely packed ceramics piled on the roadside, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

According to the introduction of the old man in charge, the soil quality in the mountains in their area is good, and they can find good clay suitable for biscuit baking.

These ceramics on the roadside are sold all over the country.

The reason why I brought him here is because the summer camp has a tradition. At the end of the day, they will let the participating children experience pottery.

Finally, let them write their names in various ways on the plates made by the group.

These ceramics will be preserved here according to their age. Many children will even come to see the ceramics they made together when they grow up, so as to remember the friends they met at the summer camp and the time they spent together.

After listening to the old man's words, Hattori Heiji's eyes showed a hint of surprise and excitement.

Having learned the case information from Karasawa, he naturally knew that some clay suitable for ceramics was found in the group photo they investigated.

But now that he saw the ceramics on the mountainside, Hattori Heiji knew that this corresponded to the clues that Karasawa and the others had investigated before.

"This is Kato, the administrator of the ceramics field."

The old man led Hattori Heiji to the front of the hut and said hello to the gray-haired middle-aged man who was busy next to the ceramics: "Kato, I will take this child to the house to see the commemorative ceramics."

"go Go."

Perhaps he had seen too many children looking at ceramics. After hearing what the person in charge said, Kato was still busy with the things at hand and spoke directly without raising his head.

The old man in charge was not the first time he came here to look for things. It didn’t take long for him to lead Hattori Heiji to the storage place where the ceramics made by the children in the summer camp 18 years ago were stored.

After Hattori Heiji and the old man looked for the names on it, they quickly locked on a large plate with the names of Ritsuko Kuki and Michhiro Tsunoda written on it.

After confirming this, Hattori Heiji immediately called Karasawa and told him the findings of this investigation.

"Is that so?" After listening to Hattori Heiji's words, Karasawa suddenly said: "Everything is connected."

"It was here that Ritsuko Kuki and Michihiro Tsunoda met Yakushiji and Kyouta Kawada."

Hattori Heiji lamented: "Eighteen years later, two people became criminals, and the other two became anesthetic dealers. This is really a trick of fate..."

"The four of them may have gone through something together in this summer camp to make things like this happen."

Karasawa thought about the information Hattori Heiji said and said: "According to our investigation, except for this summer camp, there has been no news about them in the past 18 years.

I don’t believe that Ritsuko Kuki became the traitor of two anesthetic dealers in Yakushiji Temple so casually because of their friendship 18 years ago.

Thinking about it now, only if something happened in the past would Ritsuko Kuki have to give in and help Yakushiji.

And that kind of thing must not be exposed, and even if it is exposed, it will destroy her current life. "

As for what cannot be exposed, there are too many.

And the easiest thing to think of is killing.

If someone killed someone as a child, two people willingly degenerated into drug dealers, and the other two became criminals and wanted to hide the past in the name of "justice". This is actually a psychological change that is consistent with psychology.

And criminals are meant to deal with criminals. It should be said that it is inevitable. Michihiro Tsunoda, who formed the crime department, may have met Yakushiji, a drug dealer, one day.

Ritsuko Kuki was also involved, and the peaceful life was broken, which eventually led to the death of two people and the two became fugitives.

Of course, these are just reasonable speculations made by Tang Ze based on the existing intelligence. The specifics will need to be confirmed by further investigation.

But the search is not just like this, it is to make inferences based on the existing intelligence, and then continue to verify according to the direction of the inference.

Regardless of whether there are expected gains or unexpected gains in the follow-up, it is still one step closer to the truth.

Even not having any gain is actually a gain. To put it optimistically, at least one wrong direction has been eliminated.

But no matter how you reason, no matter how reasonable, you have to find the truth.

"I'll go to the nearby Nishi Shigaraki Criminal Division and ask to see if this happened back then!"

After Hattori Heiji heard Karasawa's words, he immediately understood the meaning of his words and proposed to go to the nearby police station to have a look.

"Wait a minute, I'll say hello to Nishi Shigaraki Criminal Division first." Karasawa asked Hattori Heiji to wait for his call and wait until he was ready before going.

Except for Osaka, Hattori Heiji's facial recognition is not easy to use. In the past, when people looked at you, you looked like a high school student. If they wanted to read the file, they wouldn't dump you.

If you want to say that you are a high school detective and you are here to investigate, then I probably should kick you out.

After all, in the eyes of many criminals, detectives are just here to cause trouble, and basically few are popular.

Unless you gain some fame in your own territory and solve a few cases, and people realize that you are capable and cooperative, they will slowly accept you.

For someone like you who wants to investigate the files when you are unfamiliar with the place, unless Hattori Heiji declares his family status and shows his father's face, they will definitely give you face, otherwise don't even think about it.

But that was just for Hattori Heizou's face. Just investigating a file like this wouldn't cost so much favor.

He is also a well-known figure now. This case is not only known to everyone, but also to some well-established insiders.

Tangze's greeting and cooperation at this time are strictly following the process. Who dares not to cooperate? If evidence is really found in you, it will be strange if the bosses above don't give you some shoes.

The two people who can become the heads of the local police station are also smart people. How can they cause trouble for others at this time?

I called Sihuayuan and asked for the phone number of the criminal director of the Nishi Shigaraki Criminal Division. Then I called him to report his home address and asked him to cooperate. As expected, he immediately agreed.

After that, I called Hattori Heiji, who just arrived at the place. Not long after he parked his motorcycle and explained his intention, he was welcomed in by the head of the local search section.

"If there is a specific year, it will be easy to find."

After hearing the purpose of Hattori Heiji's visit, the bald section chief smiled and said: "Wait a minute and let me see. Was it July 18 years ago..."

After rummaging through the crime report records, the other party soon handed the records in his hand to Hattori Heiji: "This was the only major case at that time, and I remember this case.

I know Kato, who makes ceramics. He is a good man, but his son was a bit too much of a bastard and later disappeared. Everyone was secretly applauding him.

The other party has not shown up again for so many years. Even Kato thought he was dead and applied for a death certificate. "

"Missing?" Hattori Heiji was keenly aware that this might be related to the case, and quickly asked: "Why did you disappear?"

"Kato's son had a very bad reputation locally. At that time, he took hundreds of thousands of dollars from his family and left home, probably going to Tokyo or Osaka."

The head of the Criminal Division turned over the file in his hand when he said this, handed it to Hattori Heiji and said: "This is the missing person notice at that time."

Hattori Heiji took it and looked at it, and saw the well-preserved missing person notice.

Kato Takunori was 22 years old when he disappeared. In the photo, he is a good-looking young man wearing a blue shirt. His hair is not long but it is also a naughty hairstyle.

But the most important thing is not these, but in the blood type column, the three words "blood type O" are clearly written.

"Right again."

Looking at the information in the file, Abdomen Heiji recalled that Karasawa told him that a black spot found in the photo was tested to be O blood type, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Hattori Heiji immediately called Karasawa to explain the situation, and Karasawa immediately paid great attention to it after learning the news.

Kato Takunori, who disappeared in the same month, has the same O blood type as the other person in the photo. All these seem to be coincidences, but they vaguely point to one fact.

A fact they had already guessed.

But this piece of evidence alone was not enough, so Karasawa asked Hattori to hand over his cell phone to the criminal section chief next to him.

Even though the two were communicating on the phone, Hattori Heijiren saw the other party nodding solemnly.

After hanging up the phone, the other party took a deep breath and put a smile on his face.

"Brother Hattori, Karasawa Criminal has already explained the situation to me."

The head of the Criminal Division smiled and said: "I'll call the scientific research people here later and follow you with the instruments.

If you give me more suggestions, let's work harder to see if we can find Kato Takunori. "

"I understand." Hattori Heiji was not surprised to hear the other party talking to him so politely. He knew that this was what Karasawa had explained, so he nodded and agreed.

The reason why the other party was so cooperative was because Brother Tang told him that if he could get things done here, he would give him a nice word from Mr. Saitama.

It was precisely because of this that he was so happy after hanging up the phone. After all, there was a big boss who was anxious, and it would be a great advantage if he wanted to make a move in the future.

The investigation on the Kansai side was handed over to Hattori Heiji. After Karasawa helped arrange the people, he fell into waiting again.

But not long after Tangze hung up the phone and closed his eyes to rest, his phone suddenly rang again.

He suddenly opened his eyes, subconsciously thinking that Hattori Heiji had news, but he soon realized that the other party's search could not be so fast.

After seeing the word "White Bird" displayed on the caller's display, Tang Ze answered the call.

The next moment he received surprising news.

Yakushiji's cell phone was turned on, and now they had determined the other party's location. The other party was moving in a car at the moment, and they were planning to arrest him.

After hearing Shiratori's words, Tang Ze couldn't help but frown.

It’s not for anything else, it’s mainly because Yakushiji’s cell phone turned on at a strange time.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for the other party not to know that the police have been locating his mobile phone. This is known from the fact that the other party turned off his phone immediately after escaping.

But the other party suddenly turned on his phone at this time, and was still moving in the car, with no intention of turning it off again.

It's obviously like trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

He estimated that Shiratori and the others also knew, but so what if they knew?

After so many days of investigation and so many people dispatched, there was no clue at all.

Now that I finally have some clues, even if I know that there is a high probability that it is false, I have to chase it.

In the end, Shiratori and others found Yakushiji's mobile phone under a truck.

It was obvious that they had been tricked, as the other party tied their cell phones to an unrelated truck to attract their attention.

"It's true." Holding the phone, Chiba sighed: "I'm just wondering how such a cunning guy could suddenly expose his traces so carelessly."

"At least we got his cell phone." Shiratiao said helplessly, "Although it's unlikely, we'd better go back and check."

"That's the only way. I contacted Karasawa Criminal to tell him about this, and asked him to prepare technicians to investigate Yakushiji's mobile phone." Chiba nodded helplessly when he heard this, took out the phone and contacted Karasawa.

Just when Karasawa received a call from Chiba, Hattori Heiji also asked the old man in charge and asked him to take his family and the local scientific research team to nearby areas that had not been mined.

This is a very simple reasoning. If the four children really killed Kato Takunori, all they could do with their abilities was to bury him on the spot.

And this is the place where ceramics are produced. After so many years of digging clay, it can be said that everything that can be dug has been dug.

But now that no bones have been found, there is only one possibility.

That is where the four children buried Kato Takunori. It is not a place where clay is usually mined.

In this case, the place that has the same soil quality but has not been mined is the focus of Hattori Heiji and others' search this time.

"This is it. The clay in this area has not been mined."

The old man led everyone to stop in front of a dilapidated wooden house: "Because there was a lot of gravel in this area, a wooden house for accommodation was built at that time.

Unfortunately, the business went bad and it closed down, and now no one cares about it for a long time. "

"Let's search from here." Hattori Heiji looked around, looked at everyone in the department and said, "Please, everyone."

The technicians nodded after hearing this, and then began to operate the machine.

This is a machine like a cart that needs to be pushed by one person, and a laptop is connected to one end.

"Are you trying to clear mines?" The old man couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw everyone's grand gesture.

"If you have to say it, it can be considered." Hattori Heiji nodded and looked at the open space in front of him, his eyes full of depth: "But it is not so much a landmine, but more like a bomb that has been buried underground for a long time and has not been detonated."
