Chapter 176 Lost to the powerful genetics Ask for monthly votes ()
In the vehicle management office.
The elderly clerk lowered his head and sorted out old documents.
He rummaged around for a while with his wrinkled hands, slowly picked out a few documents, made copies, and gave them to the police who suddenly came to his door.
"I checked the three people you mentioned. But none of them had a history of accidents."
The old clerk handed over the documents and shook his head: "And the years they took their driver's license tests are also different."
"..." Inspector Otaki looked at Jiang Xia next to him, a little disappointed. He thought that this serial murder case that had troubled the Osaka police for many days could finally be solved. Who knew that the clues were broken again.
"Look for more, don't miss any clues." Although Jiang Xia is much younger than him, he seems to be very patient, and his words inexplicably reveal a Buddhist flavor, "Anyway, there are no other clues for the time being."
Inspector Otaki: “…” Indeed.
He wiped his face silently and decided to try to trust the out-of-town detective, so he turned to the staff at the DMV:
"Please find other information related to these three people - any connection will do."
"Okay." The old clerk sighed and slowly stood up. "But these people are all quite old, and the previous documents are all in paper form, so it might take a long time to find them."
"It's okay, we'll wait." There were no other clues anyway.
Inspector Otaki watched the old employee walk away, glanced at the mountain of information at the end of his steps, was silent for a moment, and finally stood up and wanted to help.
But at this moment, he suddenly received a phone call.
——It was transferred here by a subordinate.
"Inspector, we just received a report! - Heiji and Sakata found a dead person in the Green Land Apartment. He was also strangled to death, with a wallet nailed to his chest. I heard that the person died not long ago!"
"Green Land Apartments?" Inspector Otaki was very surprised. "But I heard that they went to see the township councilor!"
"That was true. But at the third murder scene, a suspicious woman appeared, and Heiji wrote down her license plate number. After we found out the situation, we sent the address of that woman, Ms. Okazaki, to Sakata."
The detective who called was obviously also very familiar with Hattori Heiji. He had just served as a tool for the boss's son and understood the situation quite well:
"On the way from the police station to the congressman's house, they happened to pass by the Green Land Apartments. Maybe they thought it would be difficult to see the congressman, so they went to find Miss Okazaki first. Then they saw the dead Miss Okazaki in the bathroom downstairs of that apartment building."
…
When Inspector Otaki called.
A little white cat clung to his shoulder, listened and nodded in sync with him, and at the same time professionally passed the relevant information to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia: “…”
There are more and more clues.
It is really unacceptable if the case is not closed.
Oh, and there's also the random mission organized by the organization...
Jiang Xia took out his phone, moved it to an angle where the police couldn't see his screen, and used the power of spoilers to send a message to Gin:
[Kiichiro Numabuchi is in an abandoned villa near Minoo Falls. I'm busy helping the police solve a case and don't have time to go over there. You can ask someone else to handle it. The police are also looking for him and may arrive at any time. Remember to hurry up.]
…
Tokyo is hundreds of kilometers away.
Gin noticed the vibration of his phone, opened it and checked his email, then fell into silence for a short while.
"Help the police solve the case..."
The identity of a famous detective is really useful. He actually managed to sneak into the police force openly. No wonder Wu Zuo is so efficient in finding people.
Gin frowned and looked at the last sentence "hurry up", feeling like he was being ordered. However, thinking about it carefully, Uzo was in the police force and really didn't have time to run out alone to deal with the mission target.
He soon stopped caring about such trivial matters and sent the location of Kiichiro Numabuchi to the cadres in Osaka, reminding them to deal with it as soon as possible.
After sending the email, Gin looked at the phone screen and sneered.
Several "intelligence experts" of the organization chased for so long in Osaka, but they didn't even catch sight of Kiichiro Numabuchi's shadow.
But Wu Zuo found it as soon as he went there.
"..." The more tasks were assigned to Uzo, the more one would find that this newcomer's efficiency was terrifyingly high.
If such a person dies in Osaka, no amount of waste can replace him...
Thinking of this, Gin remembered Uzo's usual positive attitude when facing tasks, and sent a message to remind Jiang Xia: [There will be someone to handle it later, you should hide first and don't interfere]
…
The Motor Vehicle Administration Office in Osaka.
Jiang Xia glanced at the reply and smashed the email with satisfaction.
The side quests to improve the organization's reputation have been completed, and now it's time to concentrate on handling the case.
Just at this moment, Inspector Otaki hung up the phone.
He sighed and shouted to the old employee of the DMV from afar, "There's one more person to check - Okazaki Sumie. I've asked my colleagues to send the information to your email."
This is the newly discovered dead person by Hattori Heiji and Conan who were on the other side just now.
…
Although the old employee is old, he handles his work very steadily.
He quickly brought a thick stack of information and wiped his sweat. "The information of the four people - no matter how big or small, it's all here."
Inspector Otaki took a closer look and became even more troubled.
——Once the new deceased appeared, the four people’s common points in “vehicles” not only did not increase, but decreased:
"Why is Okazaki Sumie's research location in Hyogo Prefecture? Isn't she from Osaka?"
"Because it's cheap." After finishing his work, the old employee picked up a cup of tea:
"In the past, there was a cheap and famous driving school there. But later there was a scandal and it gradually declined - it seemed that their top coach drove drunk late at night and crashed the car and killed people.
"That coach has a very good reputation. The driving school in Hyogo just used him in an advertisement, and then this happened... It's really unlucky."
Inspector Otaki is not interested in these old gossips, he just wants to solve the case.
I was rolling up my sleeves and preparing to dive into the pile of information to see if there were any other clues.
At this time, Jiang Xia came over from nowhere and looked down at the information: "A coach with a good reputation suddenly had his car crashed and died? The time is roughly the same as the time when the deceased took the driving test."
He seemed to have keenly grasped the anomaly in the topic and was quite concerned about it: "Can you contact that driving school?"
…
Although the driving school has declined, it still survives strongly - after all, it is cheap. No matter how bad the reputation is, there will always be people going there.
Then, the mystery of "the connection between the victims" that had troubled the Osaka Police Station for a long time was solved.
"20 years ago, the four people who died all went to the same driving school and happened to be in the same class!"
Inspector Otaki patted Jiang Xia on the shoulder and said excitedly: "The coach who led them at that time was the gold medal coach who had his car crashed and everyone died because of 'drunk driving'!"
Next to it, a fax machine clicked and a photo spit out.
Jiang Xia picked it up and took a look.
——This is a photo of the training camp for the “Death Driving Training Class”.
In the photo, several young students are surrounding a stern-looking coach in the middle.
Those students are the younger versions of the victims.
And the coach who died tragically...he had a face very similar to that of Officer Sakata - the honest policeman who had served as a driver for the guests for the whole morning.
Inspector Otaki came over and saw the deceased coach in the photo at a glance.
He looked at the face that was almost identical to Officer Sakata's, and the two had exactly the same hairstyle, and fell into deep thought: "..."
...If you say they are not father and son, I guess no one would believe it.
Inspector Otaki was confused for a while before he looked at Jiang Xia and subconsciously asked, "Could it be that there was a hidden story behind the 'drunk driving incident' twenty years ago, so Sakata wanted to kill them to avenge his father? ... But how old was he back then? Even if there was a hidden story behind it, how did Sakata know about it?!"
"You'll have to ask him himself." Jiang Xia looked into Inspector Otaki's eyes and reminded him, "I remember he had a gun on him, and right now, he happened to be with a high school student and an elementary school student."
Otaki Police Department: "!"
...The director's son is in danger!
"First, find an excuse to bring them back. Then, secretly pin them down while the chaos is going on to avoid unnecessary casualties." Jiang Xia looked at Yuanshan Heye, patted her shoulder, and said solemnly, "This mission is left to you!"
Yuanshan Heye: “!”
She and Mao Lilan were both stunned. They didn't expect that such an ordinary case could hide such a great danger.
However, Toyama Kazuha grew up in a police family, and had a childhood friend like Hattori Heiji who was always involved in murders. The word "cowardly" has nothing to do with her.
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes quickly became sharp, and she slapped her chest: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
…
A few kilometers away.
In a rented car.
"Waha?" Hattori Heiji answered the phone, "I'm busy investigating the case, you can play with the guests first... Hmm? Now is not the time for a dinner party! We found a new clue and have to go to the DMV. It will probably be late when we get home, so you guys eat first!"
He hung up the phone quickly.
In the front seat of the vehicle, Yusuke Sakata was secretly listening to the movements behind.
When he found out that it was the girl Yuanshan Heye who called, he didn't pay much attention to it. He continued to concentrate on rushing to the vehicle management office, secretly thinking about his own plan in his mind.
——He is indeed the son of that unfortunate coach, and he is indeed seeking revenge.
A few days ago, Kiichiro Numabuchi suddenly escaped from prison.
While the police were searching the mountain, Yusuke Sakata happened to meet Kiichiro Numabuchi.
Originally, Yusuke Sakata nervously thought that there would be a fierce battle.
Unexpectedly, when the mentally collapsed Numabuchi Kiichiro saw him, his legs went limp and he knelt down. He seemed to regard him as a ghost who came for revenge and cried:
"We just wanted to play a prank, we didn't mean to kill you! And, and I just persuaded them to drink a few glasses of wine. It was those bastards who tampered with the brake pads. I didn't mean it!"
Yusuke Sakata was confused at first. But when he heard the last part, his eyes darkened and murderous intent surged in his heart. Yusuke Sakata became a policeman because he felt that there was something fishy about his father's "death by drunk driving". As soon as he heard these words, he immediately connected everything.
So Yusuke Sakata decisively hid Kiichiro Numabuchi and decided to let this guy take the blame for himself. At the same time, he began to find the students of the driving school back then and eliminated them one by one.
Today, the corpse would fall on their police car, which was also the result of Yusuke Sakata's careful calculation.
Only in this way could he change from a police car to an ordinary car, and then use a clever strategy to take a shortcut and kill Okazaki Sumie under the noses of Hattori Heiji and Conan.
…
Everything was according to Yusuke Sakata's plan.
The only unexpected thing was that Jiangxia appeared inexplicably in Osaka.
Thinking of the great reputation of this new detective, Yusuke Sakata was a little nervous at first.
But he soon discovered that he had accidentally hit Jiang Xia's weakness - he successfully knocked down the most threatening guy with a shabby police car.
And now, as they got closer to the vehicle registration office, Sakata Yusuke's mood gradually improved - he had just guided Hattori Heiji and the elementary school student to focus their attention on the "car".
After that, whenever the driving school personnel from 20 years ago were exposed, Kiichiro Numabuchi, a student at that time, would be the first suspect - after all, he was a fugitive with a criminal record.
The plan is perfect.
…
Arrived at the place.
Yusuke Sakata walked into the vehicle registration office with his head held high, bringing with him the minor who had been fooled by him.
The next second, a group of policemen who had been lying in ambush for a long time rushed up and pushed him to the ground. Then, his waist was emptied and his gun was quickly taken away.
"???" Sakata Yusuke shouted in shock, "What?! What are you doing?!"
Is the plan exposed? ... Impossible! What went wrong? ?
While struggling, Sakata Yusuke suddenly had an idea and remembered the phone call that Hattori Heiji had just made with Toyama Kazuha.
Sakata Yusuke looked at Hattori Heiji in shock, his eyes seemed to show resentment: It's you? !
However, after looking at each other, Sakata Yusuke found that Hattori Heiji was even more confused than him, and was also asking, "What's going on?"
Yusuke Sakata: “…” Not him?
He suddenly remembered something and looked at the other detective present.
In the far corner of the room, Jiang Xia seemed to sense something and looked up at him.
