Chapter 221
Hattori Heiji was about to ask Okaki's home address, but before he opened his mouth, a horrified scream came from outside the apartment.

It was obviously not Okazaki Sumie who shouted, because it sounded like a man's voice, but the three of them ran out immediately.

Standing at the door of the corridor and looking to the left, you can see an uncle sitting outside the public toilet not far from the building.

The uncle was wearing a cleaner's uniform, holding a mop in his arms, trembling so much that he couldn't stand up, Hattori Heiji ran over to help him, "Are you all right, what happened?"

The cleaner was out of his mind and couldn't utter a word, but there was no need for him to speak here: the three of them took a look into the toilet and immediately understood.

On the floor of the narrow public toilet, lay a dead body. She had a deep strangle mark on her neck and no pocket on her chest, but she was still stabbed with a knife, and her wallet was usually worn on the knife.

Bai Shu stared at the corner of the public toilet with radiant eyes, the driver Soul Soul grabbed his trousers, followed him with difficulty, wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and smiled:
"Gang Qi came to accompany me, hahahaha, it's so pitiful. But I can't blame her, it's because the enemy is too cunning."

"...", you are laughing too happily, please control it.

……

Five minutes later, Sakata and nearby police arrived one after another.

Bai Shu stood under the tree, with a soul squatting on one side, watching them survey the site.

"It was strangled to death. Judging from the bleeding, it was the same as the previous three cases. It was stabbed into the chest after death." Sakata simply concluded, and asked Hattori Heiji, "When was the body found?"

"When I called you...but we weren't the first to see the corpse. It should be the uncle who was going to clean the toilet at the earliest."

Hattori Heiji pointed to the cleaner who was constantly wiping sweat with dust on his pants, and continued to be puzzled after withdrawing his hand:
"Why did she run out? And she was stabbed without a pocket on her chest...Why did the murderer insist on stabbing the wallet every time?"

Sakata spread his hands, indicating that this was beyond his knowledge.

At this time, a small police officer came down from upstairs and interrupted them:
"Mr. Sakata, there is no sign that the door of the victim's house has been pried, and the house is not messy, but there is one thing worth paying attention to - we found two strange phone messages."

"Oh?", the detectives were clearly interested.

Okazaki Sumie's home is in 405, one bedroom and one living room. There are not many things in the house, and it is very clean.

Go through the hallway to the living room. In the living room is a neat three-piece TV, tea table and sofa set, among which the phone is placed on the coffee table.

Seeing Sakata and others go upstairs, the little police officer replayed the message.

Article [-]:
"Go to Shinsaibashi right now! I'll let you meet your former friends."

"Beep—one past eight in the afternoon"

Article [-]:
"See? It's your turn next."

"Beep - ten past one in the afternoon"

"Shinsaibashi? Isn't that where we eat okonomiyaki?"

Hattori Heiji knew there was something wrong after listening to it: "The person who left the message actually used a voice changer on purpose. It's too suspicious. Even if he wasn't the murderer, he definitely has something to do with the case."

Conan also stroked his chin in thought:
"The weirdest thing is that the time of the two messages is too close. If you listen to these two messages at the same time, Okazaki Sumie will probably hide at home because of the threat of the second message.

"And if she left after hearing the first message, and only heard the second message when she came back, it means that the murderer left the second message as soon as she left the house... Can the time be so stuck? Sure, you must know her actions very well."

As expected of the protagonist, the reasoning sentence is longer than others.

Bai Shu listened to their chatter, wandering around to the kitchen to find if there was any cup, beside him, the driver's soul was smiling with double chins: "He told you to go, you go, you are too stupid .”

Okaki Sumie's eyes were blank, he curled up and leaned against the cabinet, after hearing this, he glanced at it, and replied lightly, "Those who died earlier than me, shut up."

"Damn!", the driver was poked in the sore spot, and popped half a meter high, "I was careless!"

"Hehe." Okazaki Sumie turned his head away.

After the two souls finished their verbal battle, the detectives' discussion ended.

I don't know what they discussed. After leaving Okazaki Sumie's house, Hattori Heiji has been distracted.

Bai Shu took a sneak peek at the activities in his brain, and was shocked to see countless Kudo Shinichi spitting blood to death. He was startled, and quickly looked away.

It's too scary, how much do you have to pay for the death of so many protagonists...

The police left with the body, and Sakata had to continue to be his driver.

He got in the car and adjusted the driving mirror, "Heiji, where are you going now? Go back and wait for the autopsy, or go to the Township Councilor as planned?"

"Go back first. Xiangsi Zong Taiying is only related to two of the victims. The second victim, Xikou, and Gang Qi who was killed just now have nothing to do with him. He won't open his mouth if he goes like this. Let's find a way to find out. The relationship between the four victims."

"It's better to check your wallet first." Bai Shu leaned on the soft back seat, hugged his performance on the left and right, with a very soft expression:
"The identity of the four deceased was immediately identified as soon as they were discovered. From this point of view, the murderer seems to want to use the wallet or the contents to convey some information."

"Indeed, the corpses were immediately identified after they were pulled back to the office, which is much easier to check than other corpses that were abandoned in the wild."

Sakata recalled the previous investigation process, suddenly felt blessed, and clapped his hands: "That's right! All four of them have driver's licenses in their wallets, and we rely on this to determine the source of the corpse."

"Driver's license?" Hattori Heiji and Conan were stunned at the same time, and then howled at the same time, "This is it! I won't go back to the police station, go to the driving inspection office first!"

"?" Sakata was a little confused, but he quickly adjusted the direction and drove to the destination.

Hattori Heiji and Conan originally thought that the four of them might be related to a traffic accident, so they were retaliated by the victim of the accident.

However, the results of the search showed that none of the four had a criminal record.

But they were not disappointed, because at this time another major discovery was made:
"Although they took the driver's license test in Osaka, they have all trained in the driving school in Hyogo." Hattori Heiji pointed at the registration information, his eyes were bright, like two stars embedded in the night sky.

The staff came over to take a look, and pushed the glasses, "Hyogo Driving School, the joint driving class there is really cheap and famous. Although it is a bit far away, there are many people going there."

Getting this information is like finally touching the melon seedlings with four watermelons strung together.

With the help of the driving supervision office, they quickly contacted Hesufang, which is indeed an old-fashioned driving school. After so many years, not only did it not close down, but it also kept the materials from 20 years ago.
