Stay away from Conan

Just now, Gao Yuan asked the police from the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters to conduct an investigation. Based on the photos of graduates who participated in the shared driving training class in Hyogo Prefecture twenty years ago, they excluded the three people who had been killed and the fugitive Numagachi. After Kiichiro and Prefectural Councilor Goji Sotaro, the last remaining female student is a woman named "Okazaki Sumie".

As for the whereabouts of this "Chengjiang" lady, it is much simpler to investigate.

Since Okazaki Sumie was divorced last year, Ms. Sumie, who originally changed her husband's surname because of marriage, changed her surname back to her birth name "Okazaki" and changed her driver's license last year. Therefore, through investigation, Ms. Okazaki Sumie changed You can know the other party's current address from the driver's license record.

Therefore, Takato and Otaki Goro quickly arrived at Okazaki Sumie's residence——

Xidu Apartment.

But just now, when the two of them knocked on the door of Ms. Okazaki Sumie's address, they found that the other party was not at home, and the car under Okazaki Sumie's name was not parked in the parking space.

Therefore, Takato recalled the plot of the original work, and then suggested that Otaki Goro wait here and wait for Okazaki Sumie, who was probably driving out, to come back.

As for Takato's judgment, Otaki Goro didn't have any better ideas, so he followed Takato's suggestion and parked the car in a position where he could see the entrance to the apartment where Ms. Okazaki Sumie lived, just like that in the car. Waiting for Sumie Okazaki to come back.

However, just as they were waiting, Okazaki Sumie's car came back. Then Takato and Otaki Goro, who were waiting in the car, noticed that they got off the car and ran in in a panic. Apartment Okazaki Sumie.

Seeing this, he noticed that the target person Okazaki Sumie had returned and looked panicked. He felt that something was fishy at first sight, so Otaki Goro was ready to go up and talk to Okazaki Sumie to see if he could learn from her. something.

But in this regard, Takato stopped Otaki Goro and asked him to wait.

Therefore, Otaki Goro, who had listened to Toyama Ginjiro's instructions and asked him to listen to Takato's arrangements for actions, although he was very puzzled that he didn't go up to take a look immediately, he still followed the advice and continued to wait in the car.

However, after a while, Otaki Goro, who finally couldn't sit still when he saw that there was no movement at Sumie Okazaki's apartment, asked Takato anxiously:

"Mr. Mingzhi, why don't we go up and take a look?"

To this, Gao Yuan came up with a reply:

"The opponent is in a state of shock right now. Instead of trying to scare the enemy now, it's better to wait and see."

However, listening to Gao Yuan's answer, which used three idioms in succession, "a frightened bird", "a startling snake", and "waiting for a rabbit", Otaki Goro couldn't help but seem to understand something, and said doubtfully:

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Obviously, Ms. Okazaki went out for a trip and came back in such a panic. She obviously encountered something that scared her. And based on the analysis of the serial murders, she is probably the murderer. The next target, so it's possible...she may have been threatened by the murderer! It's possible that she might have been at the scene when the third incident happened!"

Seeing Otaki Goro's curious inquiry, Takato couldn't help but give an explanation.

"What! If that's the case, don't we have to go up and have a look! What should we do if something unexpected happens?"

Otaki Goro couldn't help but said in surprise.

"Don't worry."

However, Takato continued to ask Otaki Goro not to be so anxious, so he continued:

"If she was really panicked because she saw the deceased in the third incident falling from the building, then the possibility that she was called to the scene by the murderer is not small, otherwise it shouldn't be such a coincidence.

"And if this inference is true, then based on this, it is obvious that the murderer should have been at the scene to observe her reaction. Maybe the murderer wanted to make Ms. Okazaki panic first, and then take the opportunity to attack her..."

As he spoke, Gao Yuan paused for a moment, reconfirmed the plot of the original work in his mind, and then said:

"So, instead of coming forward now and possibly alerting the enemy, maybe we can continue to wait here and maybe we will meet the murderer!"

In this regard, listening to Takato's analysis, Otaki Goro didn't seem to understand, but he still followed Takato's suggestion and concentrated again on staring at the apartment where Okazaki Sumie lived...

…

"It seems that he is currently living alone in a nearby Xidu apartment. Do you want to go and have a look first?"

On the other side, in Yusuke Sakata's car, Yusuke Sakata explained the information he had found about Sumie Okazaki, and then couldn't help but ask Hattori Heiji.

"Okay, maybe she knows something."

Although Ms. Okazaki Sumie was not involved in the alleged bribery incident of Sotaro Goji six years ago, based on her reaction when she saw the dead Kazuto Noyasu, Hattori Heiji still believed that she should not let go easily. After passing this clue, he replied like this.

So, after hearing Hattori Heiji's response, Sakata Yusuke controlled the steering wheel with one hand and took out his mobile phone with the other hand while driving, and began to dial the phone number of Okazaki Sumie's address that he had found before——

"Hello? Is this Ms. Okazaki's home? I'm Police Officer Sakata from the Osaka Prefectural Police Higashijiri Division..."

Soon, the call was connected. Yusuke Sakata first explained his identity, and then Heiji Hattori and Conan in the car clearly heard Yusuke Sakata's phone before the hands-free function was turned on. From the other side of the phone, Okazaki Sumie’s panicked words came——

"Mr. Police! Come and protect me quickly! I will be killed if this continues! I will tell you everything that happened in the past! Come here quickly!"

Suddenly, hearing the panicked shouting of the other party on the phone, Hattori Heiji and Conan both looked solemn and moved as close as possible to Sakata Yusuke's cell phone, wanting to listen more carefully.

In response to this, Sakata Yusuke was also surprised by the other party's attitude, so he hurriedly shouted:

"Calm down! We'll be there right away. Lock the door and don't let anyone in..."

In this way, just as Sakata Yusuke was consoling Okazaki Sumie on the other end of the phone, he suddenly glanced at the location where the vehicle was traveling at this time, and Hattori Heiji suddenly let out a startled sound——

"Oops! We've already passed Xidu Apartment!"

"ah?"

Hearing this, Sakata Yusuke couldn't help but panic. He saw that his car was blocked by other passing cars, and -

"What should I do? Midosuji is a one-way street, and there are many cars. If we go around to Yotsubashi-suji, we will spend a lot of time talking..."

Yusuke Sakata analyzed the current situation with some concern.

But in this regard, Hattori Heiji and Conan coincidentally opened the car door at this moment——

"It's faster to just run over there!"

Hattori Heiji said this, and Conan and he got out of the car and started running. First they ran from the driveway to the sidewalk, and then they went against the direction of the traffic and ran towards the Saito Apartment behind -

"Hey! Heiji!"

Seeing Hattori Heiji and Conan running out like this, Sakata Yusuke shouted to them worriedly, and Hattori Heiji replied:

"We'll meet up then!"

With that said, Hattori Heiji and Conan ran towards Saito Apartment without looking back...

…

Turning his gaze, he returned to Gao Yuan——

Just after Gao Yuan and Otaki Goro waited in the car for a while, suddenly, the two of them saw Okazaki Sumie running out of the apartment in a panic, and then ran in one direction.

In this regard, seeing this scene, Otaki Goro subconsciously wanted to ask Gao Yuan what he thought, but he saw a slight smile at the corner of Gao Yuan's mouth——

"Sure enough, the murderer has taken action..."
