Chapter 32 Mission Ended
On the car heading to Osaka City, Police Officer Otaki received a call.

On the phone, the police officer in charge of the investigation informed Officer Otaki of the results of Gao Yuan asking the police to investigate again.

After hanging up the phone, Officer Otaki revealed the results of the investigation.

"Just now the police officers asked those drivers who did not take the tunnel road on the day of the incident, and they got the same answer: when they were driving 1000 meters away from the entrance of the tunnel that morning, they found a big sign in the middle of the road. It said 'Construction Ahead No Traffic Ahead', so they had to turn back and take a different route."

Hearing this answer, Gao Yuan showed a clear expression.

"Sure enough, just as I thought."

Hattori Heiji on the side also seemed to think of something from this clue. After thinking for a while, he suddenly showed a surprised expression and looked at Gao Yuan, a little unbelievable.

"Hey, detective brother, no way! If that's the case, how many people are needed to cause this car accident?"

"The number of people is not a problem. Considering that the nature of the whole incident has changed, it turns out that the police are looking for the escaped truck in the wrong direction."

Gao Yuan said.

"That's right. If the police thought that the large truck escaped at the beginning, then the police generally believed that the escaped driver hid the car and then asked someone to repair the impact marks. But now it is confirmed that this incident is a man-made conspiracy, then this The large truck was probably destroyed."

Hattori Heiji picked up the topic, but Officer Otaki, who was driving, was at a loss.

"Heiji, do you know what happened to this incident?"

Officer Otaki asked.

"Well, if it's not as expected."

Hattori Heiji said, "The problem now is to find the large truck that escaped. Officer Otaki, do you have a map here?"

"There is only one traffic map of Osaka."

Officer Otaki said, took out a map from the armrest of the car, and handed it to Hattori Heiji in the back seat.

"Thank you."

Hattori Heiji got the map and looked through it with Takato who was sitting together.

"However, the police haven't found the big truck after searching for so long. Can you find clues just by looking at the map?"

Officer Otaki asked doubtfully.

"Because the police's initial investigation was in the wrong direction. If it was a premeditated crime, then it is likely that the car was destroyed nearby."

Hattori Heiji said, he found the location of the tunnel where the incident happened on the map, and then searched along the direction of the tunnel.

"They took great pains to make the accident look like an accident, and they dispatched so many people. If they stay on the main road for too long, there will be a risk of exposure if they are seen by other passing vehicles."

Gao Yuan on the side said, changing the direction of the route extension from the main road to a trail, and there is a lake in the direction leading to the trail.

"You think they sank the car in the lake?"

Hattori Heiji said unexpectedly, "Although this can indeed deal with the vehicles quickly, the police can't think of this place in a short time. But Shenhu's big move, although the surrounding area is sparsely populated, there will still be some houses, which will be seen by people here Do it like this?"

"Didn't you ask how many people are needed to cause this car accident? Then do you think there are enough people in the nearby houses?"

Gao Yuan said.

"This... it won't work!"

Hattori Heiji was a little unbelievable about Gao Yuan's conclusion, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"Well, excuse me, how do you think this car accident was man-made?"

Officer Otaki still couldn't help asking, after all, the current conversation between Takato and Hattori was based on this conclusion, but Officer Otaki couldn't think of how to artificially create this car accident.

"To complete this case, there are two prerequisites: first, you need to know when the car will pass through the tunnel; second, it must be dawn when the car arrives at the entrance of the tunnel."

Hattori Heiji first opened his mouth to explain, "It is necessary to know when the car will pass through the tunnel, so that we can prepare in advance in the tunnel; and when the car arrives, it must be dawn, so as to ensure that the car does not have to drive before entering the tunnel. light."

"Why is this?"

Officer Otaki was even more puzzled after hearing this.

"Remember what the director said. He didn't see any vehicles at the entrance before the vehicles entered the tunnel."

Gao Yuan took over the conversation and began to explain.

"Of course he couldn't see a car at the entrance, because the entire tunnel intersection was blocked by a black curtain! Because the vehicle entered the tunnel from outside the tunnel, the tunnel entrance was completely dark, so the driver didn't notice anything unusual. .”

"However, there is a prerequisite for this method, that is, the vehicle cannot turn on the lights. Once there is a light shining from outside the tunnel to the tunnel, the existence of this curtain will be discovered. Therefore, it must be dawn when the crime occurs, and vehicles do not need to drive on the road. Lights will do!"

Hattori Heiji further explained.

"But what if other vehicles passed by at that time?"

Officer Otaki continued to question.

"So to realize this method, someone must be responsible for checking whether the victim's car is coming, and someone must be responsible for placing and receiving warning signs!"

Gao Yuan said, "On the day of the incident, there were a few vehicles that used to pass through the tunnel at that time, but because they found a warning sign 1000 meters away from the entrance of the tunnel, they chose to detour."

"After thinking about this, the whole thing is very simple."

Hattori Heiji said.

"Put a large truck at the entrance of the tunnel, and then hang a large black curtain at the entrance of the tunnel. Because someone is responsible for retracting the warning signs, only the target vehicle will drive to the tunnel on this section of the road. And the car When driving over at high speed, there is almost no doubt, and it crashes straight into it!
"That's why there are no traces of brakes on the vehicle and why the director didn't see a large truck before the accident!"

Gao Yuan told the cause and effect of the incident.

"Afterwards, the perpetrators only need to put away the warning signs and curtains, get on a large truck and leave together!"

Hattori Heiji said.

"Thinking in another direction, if you want to complete this method, you must know the itinerary of this car on that day, so that you can make so many plans in advance! Considering the matter of Mr. Xichuan's will, the most suspicious person is only that person Bar!"

Gao Yuan agrees with this conclusion:
"Furthermore, Mr. Xi Chuan, who was still debating whether to find an illegitimate child, chose to carry out a plan to find an illegitimate child after the accident. I'm afraid he also guessed that his current son, Hiroaki Xi Chuan, was responsible for his car accident!"

"The challenge tasks have all been completed, and the settlement of stage [-] is now beginning."

Just after saying this, the settlement panel suddenly appeared!
