Chapter 220 Performance +1
Most of the roads leading to the house of Councilor Xiangsi are one-way streets.Even so, the driveway is still very congested.

After being forced to slow down again, Police Officer Sakata looked at the car in front of him boredly. When his eyes fell on the license plate number of the car in front, he was startled, and suddenly remembered something:
"By the way! I have already found the phone number and address of the suspicious woman you mentioned earlier through the license plate number."

He rummaged in his pocket, took out a mini notebook, opened it and found the last page:
"Her name is Okaki Sumie, 39 years old, divorced last year, currently living alone in Xidu Apartment, her phone number is..."

"Xidu Apartment?" Hattori Heiji paused as he was about to write down the phone, and quickly sketched out a nearby map in his mind. After a while, he said:
"Isn't that nearby! Why don't you just go to her place to have a look first, I always feel that she is in a more dangerous situation than Goji Soustaro, who has a lot of bodyguards."

"It's true, then I'll let her know." The police are not allowed to break into other people's homes casually. Sakata took out his mobile phone, loosened and released it from his feet, and typed with one hand while following the slowly moving traffic in front of him. The number, the movements are very skilled, and this superb skill of double-mindedness can be seen as a lot of chores in normal times.

The phone was picked up after two "beeps" and "beeps". First came a burst of news background sound, and keywords such as "corpse" and "falling" could be vaguely heard, and the person on the other side seemed to be watching TV.

After that, a woman's dry and hoarse voice said, "...Hello?"

Sakata and Hattori Heiji, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at each other, and said in the gentlest voice, "Is this Ms. Okazaki's house? I'm from the Higashijiri Branch of the Osaka Police Station..."

"Police?!", the voice on the other side of the phone suddenly became louder, and after a few words, it turned into a roar, "Hurry up and protect me!! If this continues, I will be killed!!! I will tell you everything about the past , come quickly!"

"Oh... well, calm down!", this unexpected voice made Sakata's hand slip, and the vehicle shook in the shape of a z, almost avoiding innocent vehicles passing by.

Fortunately, the traffic flow has become smoother, and the car on the side drove away quickly, and Sakata quickly corrected the direction and continued to move forward, while comforting Okazaki Sumie:
"Let's go there right away, you lock the door first, don't let anyone in..." In the middle of speaking, he was patted on the shoulder, Sakata paused, and turned to look at Hattori Heiji next to him, "What's wrong?"

There are three lanes parallel here, and they are driving in the middle lane, Hattori Heiji is separated by a car, looking at the fork road passing by outside the window, his expression is indescribable.

Considering the person on the other side of the phone, he whispered in a breathy voice: "The way to Xidu Apartment has already passed!"

"!", answering the phone while driving, it is indeed easy to slow down the reaction.Sakata squeezed his phone and broke out in a sweat, "There is no way to turn around on a one-way street, let's change to the next intersection!"

He just finished speaking, as if being targeted by God, the speed of the car in front dropped visible to the naked eye, and finally stopped completely under the gaze of the four people.

Blocked again.

"It seems to be too early for the next intersection." Hattori Heiji mentally calculated the distance and approximate time, and decided that it was not possible.

Okazaki Sumie howls out the sound effect of the original slaughterhouse by himself, and those who don't know think that the gangster has stepped on her face, and even the person with the phone is upset.

In the end, he looked in the direction of Xidu Apartment from a distance, and simply pushed open the car door and jumped down, "Running is faster, let's go there first, and you turn around and come back to meet us!"

"Ah, good!" When Sakata finished talking on the phone and turned his head to answer, the other three had already disappeared.

……

As expected, Xidu Apartment was not far from the driveway just now. Ten minutes later, the three arrived at their destination.

Conan was panting and sweating from exhaustion, and there were only two thoughts in his mind-"Okazaki Sumie, please don't die" and "Why don't I go out with a skateboard?"

When he ran to the stairs, he took a deep breath and prepared to rush up in one go.

But just took a step, Hattori Heiji in front stopped without warning, Conan couldn't stop, and bumped his head on his back.

"...Why don't you leave?" Conan's face was wrinkled, and he waited for a while, but he didn't hear Hattori Heiji's answer.

Seeing that Hattori Heiji was just looking ahead in a daze, Conan was taken aback, suddenly having a bad premonition in his heart, he poked his head out from behind Hattori Heiji and looked towards the stairs.

A female body was lying on the ground, with a dagger stuck deep in the heart.The blood slowly flowed down the stairs, her hair was soaked in blood, mixed with the dust on the ground, dirty and sticky, this horrible sight...

did not appear.

In fact, there is an ordinary corridor in front of you - concrete steps, old and rusty railings, mottled walls, a spider dragging its silk hanging from the sky, after a moment of stagnation, it slowly crawled back the same way .

The corners of Conan's eyes twitched slightly as he watched it crawl away, "Hey, are you afraid of spiders?"

"What spider?" Hattori Heiji glanced back at him, and said blankly, "I was wondering which floor she lived on..."

"Of course it is..." Conan searched for the answer in his mind while opening his mouth, but after two seconds, he couldn't find anything.

It is really that Okazaki Sumie's cry is too frightening. When he got out of the car, his mind was full of Xidu Apartment, and he forgot to ask Sakata for the detailed address.

A drop of sweat dripped from the corner of Conan's forehead. He changed the topic and said calmly, "Be quiet, if the phone is not hung up, maybe you can hear her screaming."

"Do you think she is a screaming chicken?! Who can scream at that kind of decibel for 10 minutes!" Hattori Heiji's head grew big.

The only good news is that this old apartment building has only one entrance and exit. Standing here can effectively prevent suspicious elements from entering the building, so they are not as anxious as before:
"Let's ask the administrator. It's just that we don't have a police officer's card. I don't know if he will speak up..."

"That..." On the notebook, Okazaki Sumie's name turned red at some point.Bai Shu looked away and offered a sincere suggestion, "Why don't you give Sakata a call?"

"..."

The wind blew through the corridor, rolling up the hem of the three people's clothes. Three seconds later, Hattori Heiji pressed down the brim of his baseball cap expressionlessly, took out his mobile phone as if nothing had happened, searched for the address book at the speed of light, and dialed it.

...I'm too tired from running, my brain lacks oxygen.

And next to him was Kudo Shinichi, affected by it, he unconsciously entered the case-solving mode, wanted to find all clues on the spot, and solved them on the spot, but forgot that he should seek outside assistance at this time...

The phone was connected quickly, and there was a vague horn sound from Sakata.

The toolman police officer ignored the traffic rules again, and answered the phone while driving, "I'm almost there, how are you doing?"

——Thank you [[…]], the rudder master, I will remember to add more x2 (really)——
