The white car sped away amidst the gushing gray exhaust gas.
"hateful!"
"She ran away!"
Hattori and Conan stopped helplessly.
After hearing the names of Toyonaka City and Makata City, the woman fled in a panic, like an antelope drinking water by a river being attacked by a crocodile.
To say she had no idea...
It would be more reliable to say that Trump believes there is no problem with the election.
"It doesn't matter."
Looking at the car going away, Conan said:
"I wrote down the license plate number, but..."
"You better tell me quickly, what are the two cases that happened in Toyonaka City and Makikata City?"
.......................
5 p.m.
Osaka Prefecture, Higashijiri Police Station.
"Serial killings?!"
In the waiting room, Maori Kogoro's voice came:
"The man who just fell is already the third victim?!"
"That's right."
In front of Makoto Sakaki and the others, Hattori Heiji rested his chin on the table with one hand, and did not hide the fact:
"All three victims were killed by stabbing their wallets through their chests with daggers."
"But before that, the prisoners would use something to strangle them to death in advance."
"Could they have been killed because of a feud over money?"
Yuanshan Heye leaned forward and asked the first question.
"No, that doesn't make sense."
Hattori Heiji denied this possibility:
"The first person to be killed, Nagao Hidetoshi, was the manager of a supermarket, and the second person to be killed, Nishiguchi Tayo, was the proprietress of a tavern."
"As for the Noyasu and the one who just fell, he was a taxi driver."
"There's no way they would conflict with others over money!"
"Besides the modus operandi, there is nothing in common between these three people."
Sakaki Makoto, who was sitting next to him, didn't say anything.
All the people that Kiichiro Numabuchi might come into contact with during his escape were written down in the clues provided to him by Gin.
Nagao Hidetoshi, Nishiguchi Tayo, Noyasu Kazuto, and...
Okazaki Sumie, Goji Sotaro.
As for the reason...
It's not clearly stated in the clues.
Osaka is Kiichiro Numabuchi's hometown, and he knows many people here. How could Gin list the whole process one by one?
but...
This did not delay Makoto Sakaki from searching for Kiichiro Numabuchi.

The door of the waiting room was pushed open, and Yusuke Sakata, who had gone to retrieve the files, came back.
He held a tape in his hand and said:
"Brother Heiji, I found it!"
"We found the commonality among the victims!"
"real?"
With a look of joy, Hattori Heiji stood up and said:
"What do they have in common?"
“It’s all on this tape.”
As he spoke, Yusuke Sakata put the tape into the player.
rustle...
The player started to turn, like the gears of fate, meshing one by one.
After reading the signal, the electron gun in the old-fashioned TV, which is composed of a filament, a cathode, and a control grid, emits a stream of electrons.
The electron stream is accelerated by a high-voltage accelerator and focused by a lens to form an extremely fine electron beam, which hits the fluorescent screen, causing the phosphor to emit light and produce a colorful picture:
The screen showed a black sedan surrounded by reporters and spotlights.
Hidetoshi Nagao stood outside the car, trying his best to stop reporters from interviewing and taking pictures, but it was like an ant trying to stop a tree.
The man who fell from the rooftop at noon, Ye Anheren, was holding the steering wheel with both hands and adjusting the rearview mirror.
In the back seat, a bald man with a ferocious face stared coldly at the camera without saying a word...
"this..."
Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows and said:
"Wasn't it the scandal six years ago when Sotaro Goji, a member of the prefectural council, was involved in corruption and malfeasance?"
"That's right."
Maori Kogoro nodded:
"Later, his secretary took the responsibility and resigned, which made the matter come to nothing..."
"His secretary... is Nagao Hidetoshi!"
"But what does this have to do with the serial murder case?"
He scratched his head, somewhat confused.
"It's not just Nagao Hidetoshi who appears on the screen..."
Sakata Yusuke pointed at the TV and said:
"This is a precious video footage that was circulated at the time. In it, the secretary of congressman Goji Sotaro is Nagao Hidetoshi, and his driver..."
"That's the deceased we encountered, Ye Anheren!"
Everyone was shocked.
So...
The first deceased, Nagao Hidetoshi, had worked with Noyasu Kazuto?
The clues to solving the case instantly focused on Sotaro Goji.
"After the corruption scandal led to Nagao Hideto's resignation, Noyasu Kazuto also resigned the following year."
Pushing his eyes with his middle finger, Sakata Yusuke said calmly:
"After learning this clue..."
"The seniors in the bureau have already gone to Goji Sotaro's house in advance."
"Um..."
Maori Kogoro suddenly said:
"I have heard of Goji Soutarou a few times..."
"This guy hates the police the most. It may not be that easy to meet him..."
"Walk!"
Immediately making a decision, Hattori Heiji turned up the brim of his hat, his eyes firm:
"It doesn't matter if he hates the police or not. As long as he's involved in a murder case, he has no say!"
