Conan's other me

Chapter 70 Purse Suspicion ([-])

Traveling is always closely related to eating.

After finishing their udon noodles, they went for takoyaki.

After finishing the takoyaki, they went to eat okonomiyaki.

When Sakata Yusuke, who had run to the bathroom, joined them again, everyone walked out of the store while thinking about where to go next.

"There is also a very good store, I recommend you—"

"The next step is of course going to Osaka Castle." He Ye interrupted.

"...Osaka Castle is also fine," Hattori Heiji was a little tired after arguing several times a day, "But it's better to call another police car over, it's not good to always let Xiaolan follow you to take a taxi..."

Hattori Heiji took out his phone while talking.

He still couldn't forget that he wanted Xiaolan to take a police car and give her a complete trip to Osaka.

Feng Yuan, who always walked at the back, walked out of the store, and then...

boom.

A body fell on the hood of the police car.

Only a few meters away from them.

……

Screams came and went.

"what happened?"

The well-informed Uncle Mao Li was quite calm, walked to the front of the car and checked, and at a glance he knew that the man was dead and couldn't die anymore.

"Who is this man?"

"I don't know!" Hattori Heiji stuffed the phone back into his pocket and ran over, "It suddenly fell off!"

While talking, everyone subconsciously looked up and found a person on the roof of the building looking down.

Hattori Heiji and Conan rushed up immediately, and Kaede followed Uncle Mori to look at the corpse.

The deceased was apparently killed by the knife piercing the heart, with a wallet running through the middle.

Although the man seemed hopeless, Uncle Mori still checked, and then reminded Sakata Yusuke who was standing aside to call the police.

Obviously he is a policeman, but his reaction is so slow...

Uncle Maori was a little dissatisfied, but his attention was quickly placed on the man looking down from the top of the building.

Obviously I am a prisoner, and my reaction is so slow...

After a while, Hattori Heiji and Conan walked down with the "prisoner".

But things are not as Uncle Maori thought.

"What? Was he called to the roof?"

"Well," Hattori Heiji looked serious, "He is the owner of the tea shop on the second floor. Someone called him and told him that there was a strange man on the roof, and told him to go up and have a look."

"How did the body fall?"

"The corpse was hung with a rope and hung from the handrail of the roof. The corpse was covered with plastic sheeting, and one end of the rope was fixed with a door handle. This way, the rope would loosen when the door was opened."

"Then the body will fall." Hattori Heiji carefully looked at the body on the hood, and continued, "He should have been dead for a whole day. I guess he was called here yesterday to be killed, and then he was hung up."

"But how did it fall on the police car?"

Sakata Yusuke was puzzled.

"It could just be a coincidence, but if a body is reported in town... it could be a deliberate warning to someone."

"Warning?" Conan asked.

"Well, the knife that pierced through the wallet and stabbed into the chest..." Hattori Heiji held his chin in thought, "It looks very similar to the previous murders..."

While speaking, as if confirming Hattori Heiji's conjecture, a middle-aged woman in the crowd suddenly screamed in horror, but by the time they chased after her, the woman had already driven away in a car.

Fortunately, both Fengyuan and Conan had memorized the license plate number, so the group planned to go to the Higashijiri Station of the Osaka Prefecture Police to have someone investigate the identity of the woman, and at the same time ask Hattori Heiji to introduce in detail the "previous murder" he just mentioned.

After sitting down, Hattori Heiji explained to everyone.

"Serial killings?"

"Well," Hattori Heiji nodded, "The one just now should be the third murder case. All three of them had their knives pierced through their wallets and their chests, and all of them were strangled to death."

"Wallet?" Xiaolan asked.

"Is it because of a property dispute?"

"Not quite like it."

Hattori Heiji denied Kazuha's idea.

"The first one to be killed was Hidetoshi Nagao, the manager of a convenience store. The second one, Tadayo Nishiguchi, was the proprietress of an izakaya, and Kazuto Noyasu who just fell was a taxi driver."

"None of them seem like people who would be killed for money," Hattori Heiji went on, "and the three of them are unrelated so far."

"No connection?"

Uncle Maori is obviously a good laugh.

"Yes, although the place of birth, school and work are all in Osaka...but the location is completely different..."

Feng Yuan didn't think so.

Conan, who didn't pretend much, was present, and he didn't need to pretend to be a child, so he opened his mouth directly.

"How can there be no connection," Feng Yuan said in a curious tone, "It's purposely penetrated through the wallet, so it must have something to do with the wallet, right?"

"Pingji..."

Sakata Yusuke just walked over with something in his hand, and shouted, but then stopped.

"Yes, Heiji!"

Toyama and Ye's approval overwhelmed Sakata Yusuke.

This is something that is easy to think of. He Ye is very happy that his ideas have been recognized.

"I've thought about it," after all, it was Kudo who said it, and Hattori Heiji was a little more serious, "but the victim's wallet was destroyed in a mess, and there was nothing strange in it..."

"Why something weird?"

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was taken aback for a moment.

"Maybe a certificate of deposit from the same bank, or a membership card from the same club, or something like that..."

"That's how it's played on TV!" Fengyuan continued.

"Indeed," Uncle Maori thought thoughtfully, "you should tell me what's in your wallet, let me, a famous detective, show you—"

With a snap, Hattori Heiji slapped the table and stood up.

"Driver's license! Yes, that's right, this is it!" Hattori Heiji smiled, "There are driver's licenses in all three wallets, and the driver's licenses were all pierced by knives!"

Hearing what Hattori Heiji said, Conan thought about it.

"What's wrong with the driver's license?" Uncle Maori was a little unhappy at being interrupted, "They are all adults, so why is it so strange to have a driver's license?"

"The point is not the strangeness, uncle."

Hattori Heiji explained:
"This means that they may be related to a certain traffic accident, so the murderer will deliberately penetrate the driver's license out of revenge. Of course, it is also possible that they took the driver's license test together. In short, there must be something in common..."

While talking, Hattori Heiji turned to Sakata Yusuke who had come over and stood aside, "Hey, Sakata, I remember the driving inspection office is nearby, right? Take us there!"

"Heiji!" Kazuba shouted, "Then what shall we do?"

A car can't fit so many people, why can't she still take a taxi with Xiaolan?

"You send Xiaolan back to the hotel, the one I told you about during dinner, I have arranged everything," Hattori Heiji said, looking at Fengyuan and Conan, "Let's go?"
