“Oh no!”

After listening to Sakaki Makoto's reasoning, Conan and the other two immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

The other party is very cautious.

When most of the police were running towards East City, preparing to chase and intercept...

Xicheng will definitely be short of police force and have weak defenses.

If Kiichiro Numabuchi had been driving a new car at that time, he could have easily bypassed the police and successfully escaped from Osaka!

"Call the police!"

When the four of them rushed out of the room, Conan shouted to Mao Lilan who was standing at the door:

"Kiichiro Numabuchi is not in East City. He is going to escape to the west!"

“It’s too late…”

Hattori Heiji straightened his hat, looking grim:

"I'm afraid Kiichiro Numabuchi is already on his way out of the city!"

"There is a shortage of police force. The Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters simply cannot spare so many people to stop him..."

“Damn it!”

After notifying Mao Lilan for the time being...

The four of them took the elevator down to the first floor.

Otaki Goro was standing by the car smoking. When he saw the four people rushing over, he said in astonishment:

"Don't be so anxious..."

"No time to explain, drive!"

Sakaki Makoto and the other three jumped into the car and shouted to Otaki Goro.

"oh oh..."

Throwing away the cigarette butt, Otaki Goro started the car without knowing why:

"With Minister Yuanshan here, there will be no problem in Dongcheng District..."

"Don't go to Dongcheng District, go west!"

"ah?"

Otaki Goro turned around and asked:

"Why go west?"

"The vehicle found in Dongcheng District was just a bait!"

Hattori Heiji was holding the map, looking anxious:

"Kiichiro Numabuchi must have fled to the west!"

“Damn it!”

He punched the center console:

“There are so many ways out of town!”

The incident happened too suddenly, and Hattori Heiji was completely unprepared, so he was inevitably a little angry.

When a person is not calm...

The ability to think about problems will plummet.

What's more, they are too young.

At only 16 or 17 years old, I lack experience and easily panic when encountering difficulties and don’t know how to deal with them.

"Don't panic."

With a warm hand on his shoulder, Sakaki Makoto said:

"Although there are many ways out of the city, there are few options for Kiichiro Numabuchi."

"In order to avoid being discovered by the police, he would definitely take small roads where there are no surveillance cameras, police, or people."

The calm voice seemed to have a kind of magic that gradually calmed down the anxious people.

After looking at Sakaki Makoto with gratitude, Hattori Heiji took a deep breath and began to screen the paths.

As the host, among the people present, who has more say than him and Otaki Goro?

Many paths are not even marked on the map and only locals know them.

for example....

Three sparsely populated paths.

After many selections, Hattori Heiji made his choice:

"These three roads are the most suitable."

The map was delivered to the back row, the overhead light was turned on, and he ran his finger across the map:

"The first one is to go north, leading to Tottori Prefecture."

"The second one is to go straight west to Kobe."

"The third route is to go southwest, past Wakayama to Shikoku Island."

Three roads, three choices.

They only had one car, so they obviously couldn't cut it into three pieces with a knife and act separately.

"Don't worry."

Otaki Goro grabbed the intercom and said:

"You can choose one of them, and the other two will be left to the police."

Hattori Heiji...

Looking at Sakaki Makoto:

"Which path do we choose?"

"You need to take a boat to go to Shikoku Island, which can easily expose your identity."

Staring at the map, Sakaki Makoto said:

"Tottori Prefecture is located in the northernmost part of the Kansai region. If Kiichiro Numabuchi had intended to go there from the beginning, he could have taken the Gifu-Maizuru route."

"And from a geographical point of view, Tottori Prefecture is not a good place to escape..."

"Let's take the second route, Kobe!"

.................

After receiving the notification, the entire Osaka Prefecture became active.

Police officers on duty can be seen everywhere on the streets to prevent Kiichiro Numabuchi from maliciously injuring others.

Thousands of personnel from the Ministry of Transportation, Criminal Affairs, General Affairs, Security and other departments were mobilized to conduct a strict investigation.

I have to say...

The Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters issued a very correct order.

Some people may think, why mobilize so many people just to capture Kiichiro Numabuchi?

Isn't this making a big deal out of nothing?

But that is not the case.

Taking Kiichiro Numabuchi alone, he was just a notorious murderer. He had no hot weapons in his hands. How many people could he kill with just a knife?

You should know that there are police patrolling the streets in Japan.

It is indeed unprecedented to mobilize so many police forces just to arrest one person, but...

Things have been different since Yusuke Sakata was captured.

Catching murderers is the duty of the police.

As a police officer, Yusuke Sakata, for his own selfish reasons, did not hand over Kiichiro Numabuchi to the police after arresting him, but imprisoned him privately, which eventually led to his escape. If the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters does not take any action...

Once Kiichiro Numabuchi committed the crime of murder, it would inevitably cause a huge disturbance.

The people can't accept it!

It's okay for the police who should have been protecting them to break the law knowingly, after all, there is a reason. If they explain the situation publicly, although the people are angry, they can understand it if they put themselves in their shoes.
