Chapter 527 The detective is indeed the most dangerous person to be around
“There is really someone…” Hattori Heiji frowned, raised his leg and rushed up, “Mr. Sakata, please call the police as soon as possible!”
< br>"Uncle Maori, protect the scene and don't let anyone get close to the body!" He also raised his leg without hesitation, and Conan followed closely behind him and sprinted towards the stairs in front.
"Hey, you two!" Mouri Kogoro shouted, but the two detectives who could only see the possible criminals had disappeared.
"This guy Hattori..." Toyama and Ye shouted twice. Seeing that Hattori Heiji didn't pay any attention, he crossed his arms angrily, "Really, isn't this just for entertaining guests? Just a few hours? ”
"Detectives are like this. They talk nonsense when they get excited." Tangze, who had just received a wave of comfort for no apparent reason, folded his arms and said expressionlessly, "Call a police officer to call the police. Will they be fine?"
< br>"...Yes." After reacting for two seconds, Mouri Kogoro looked at Yusuke Sakata blankly.
He is a policeman himself, why should he call the police?
"Uh, ah, I, I'll call for support right now..." Yusuke Sakata slowed down for a moment, then put down the phone he was about to dial, cleared his throat, and called directly He walked around to the driver's seat and reached out to pull out the intercom in the car.
It’s all this kid Heiji’s fault, what are you shouting about...
"Detectives are not like that. Young people are just impatient." Mouri Kogoro angrily drew a clear line between the two of them. "In short, try to maintain the order of the scene first and don't let irrelevant people get close to the police car."
"I'm here to help take pictures!" Mao Lilan, who has gradually become familiar with some of the processes, took out the camera that she originally prepared for the trip, walked over, tried her best to ignore the dead and took a closer look at the hair-raising scene. The death scene, under the guidance of Mouri Kogoro, pressed the shutter in a decent manner.
Although no one wants to encounter a murder, but since it is always difficult to escape various accidents, it is better to join in and play some helping role...
The mentality is better than before Mao Lilan, who was more active, sighed secretly in her heart, but the movements of her hands were not ambiguous.
Yuanshan and Ye stood by in shock for a moment. They looked around and couldn't find anyone else who could speak, so they had to poke Tang Ze with their elbows, pointed and pulled back their long hair. Mao Lilan started taking pictures with a calm look on her face: "...Are all you girls in Tokyo like this?"
It was obvious that the scream just now was louder than hers!
Damn, I suddenly felt that this guy was very competitive, what should I do...
Tangze turned his eyes, glanced at her, and shrugged.
Have you never seen the promax version of Mao Lilan who actively started to help solve the case?
Speaking of which, Yuan Shan and Ye are also the daughters of police officers. They should have been influenced by them more than Mao Lilan. How come they are more resistant to reasoning and cases than Mao Lilan?
Is this what is called, I have been used to seeing it since I was a child, so I will naturally get tired of it?
"How do I know?" With some less respectful thoughts swirling in his mind, Karasawa, who was very full, took out a bottle of energy drink from his commute bag, leisurely unscrewed the cap and took a sip. "I'm from Kyoto."
————
"He was called to the roof?" Soon, Kogoro Mori, who was guarding the scene and doing the preliminary work without complaint, asked I heard the incredible conclusion.
"Yes." Hattori Heiji fastened the hat that had become loose due to running. He also looked like he didn't know what to say. "Someone called this uncle and told him, 'On the roof. There is a man who looks very strange. Tell him to go up and have a look.”
"Who called you?" Mouri Kogoro frowned and looked at the smiling man.
"I don't know, either? The little detective just asked me to call back. It looked like a public phone." The man spread his hands, expressing that he was really innocent.
"...A stranger called you, and you not only answered the call, but actually went up to see him as he said?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't understand, "You don't even wonder where he came from. What’s your phone number?”
“I’m the owner of the tea shop on the second floor. Anyone can check my phone number.” The man became more innocent, “There’s no reason for a businessman to refuse to answer calls from strangers.”
"It sounds very logical." Sakata Yusuke, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but add while recording.
He would choose this person to help him complete the last step. He obviously had some considerations.
"The deceased has been dead for some time. The body was tied with a rope and hung on the railing outside the roof." Hattori Heiji pointed to the thick hemp rope coiled in a pile on the ground and explained. Preliminary investigation results, "After covering the body with a plastic sheet to avoid being discovered by passers-by, the other end was fixed on the door handle of the rooftop. As long as someone opens the door and pushes it outward, the rope will naturally He let go."
"Well, he should have been dead for more than 24 hours," Conan stood in front of the car after briefly checking the condition of the body and explained simply, "In other words, the deceased should have been here yesterday. After being killed, he was hung on the rooftop. "
"It must have been last night. It was quite conspicuous to do these things during the day." Mouri Kogoro touched his chin.
"The most critical question now is, why did the body fall on the police car so accurately? Is it a coincidence?" Yusuke Sakata glanced at the police car that had been in his hands for only a few hours. I felt real regret, "This is the newest car in the police station..."
"It could also be a coincidence." When Hattori Heiji said this, he exchanged a look with Conan, and then naturally turned his attention to the surrounding crowd of onlookers, "However, think of this as the murderer wanting to convey some news to others, or to express A warning is also very possible. "
If this is a provocation to the police, or a warning to deliberately target someone, then the murderer is likely to be around them now.
The police car will stop here because of the secondment of several of them, and will soon follow them to their next destination.
As the driver, Yusuke Sakata did not dine with them and drove to other places to eat on his own. Therefore, unless the murderer was at the scene, it would be difficult to grasp the few minutes they stayed there. The timing of this.
At this moment, he or she is probably standing among the crowd of onlookers, observing them carefully...
"Warning, what is the warning?" Conan, who understood what was going on, asked his question while paying attention to the movements around him.
"Well, the dagger that pierced the wallet and penetrated straight into the heart is so similar to the previous cases..." At the same time as he said these words, Hattori Heiji and a pair of people were on the verge of death. Extremely frightened, he stared into his bulging and red eyes.
Under his focused gaze, the woman seemed to be greatly frightened. She covered her mouth with force, then turned her head and rushed out of the crowd.
"Hey, madam, wait a minute!" Hattori Heiji shouted, trying to stop her from running away in a panic, but saw the woman running away faster after hearing his voice, and pulled out the driver's seat opened the door and got into a car.
Hattori Heiji wanted to approach her vehicle as quickly as possible, but the crowd surrounding the scene formed a thick barrier. By the time he squeezed out, the woman had already started the vehicle and rushed out.
"Tsk, let her run away." Hattori Heiji patted his head and muttered unwillingly.
"It's not a big problem, I have memorized her license plate number." Conan, who was following him, adjusted his glasses, "But before that, shouldn't you explain, 'Those things before? What is the situation of the case? "
Hattori Heiji glanced at the other people standing beside the police car and slapped his forehead helplessly: "Okay, but this is not the place to talk. The case is still under investigation. , all details are still confidential. When the support from the Tojiri Bureau arrives, let’s go to the police station.”
“It’s quite dangerous, Osaka.” Miyano Akemi was also standing in the crowd. He adjusted his glasses, looked at Tang Ze who was in a stable mood through the crowd, and shook his head.
Tang Ze must follow them to the police station. It seems that they can only move around freely for a while.
"It seems that when we were in Tokyo, we encountered fewer emergencies than now." Asai replied calmly.
"Well, it makes sense..."
"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Xingchuan Hui, who had covered himself tightly, pulled down his fisherman hat again. He said muffledly through the mask, "The danger is not in Osaka or Tokyo, but whether these detectives are good or not."
"That's true..." Karasawa didn't bother to blend in with him in the crowd. The teammates exchanged glances, took out their mobile phones, opened the software and left them a message.
This situation has arisen here temporarily, and the tour plan will definitely not continue. The Phantom Thieves who are following them as a tour guide also need to leave temporarily and find a convenient place to respond.
It was also at this time that he noticed a new email from Toru Amuro.
After only reading a few keywords, Tangze's expression became vivid.
Tangze thought for a moment, and then clicked on Noah who had his head stuck out on the screen and seemed to be secretly looking at his mailbox.
[Joker: Noah, do you have any information on Curacao? You don’t need too much real information, just images. 】
[Ark: Are you going to share her information? Wouldn't it be too alarming? 】
[Joker: No, I want you to send a copy to Shiho. I have a guess...]

"Tangze?" Mao Lilan chased two steps forward and found that Tangze was still standing there without moving, so he turned his head , couldn't help but worry, "It's time to go, Mr. Sakata is going to take us to the Dongjiri Department to make records and learn about previous cases..."
While she was speaking, she couldn't help but pay attention and rush there. Officers who took over their duties at the scene.
The Dongjiri Police Department was not far from their location. The police officers who received the news came very quickly. The isolation tape was pulled up and the bodies on the hood were put into body bags.
Well, it seems that Tang Ze is not looking at the deceased...
That's good, she is also worried about whether encountering such a shocking accident will bring any mental burden to Tang Ze.
"Coming." Tangze, who didn't know what Mao Lilan was worried about, put his phone in his pocket and followed their footsteps.
In the crowd, the members of the Phantom Thieves who quietly left also set off in the opposite direction.
"Even though I know that Karasawa's plans are often outrageous, the outrageousness of this plan is beyond my expectation." Hoshikawa Hui pulled off his mask while flipping through the news, his expression indescribable.
This guy Tangze has many abilities that are beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Although they have not discussed this for a long time, they all basically acquiesce.
Even if he also became a persona user and even had his own special abilities, just as Hoshikawa Teru had originally guessed, Karasawa was still the most special one among them, in terms of combat ability and other aspects. His ability is also good...
So even if he comes up with very wild plans from time to time, they have nothing to question.
Tang Ze is their leader and person in charge. He single-handedly controls the direction of the Phantom Thieves. They have abandoned their past identities and are equivalent to Tang Ze's personal power. They have no need and cannot question Tang Ze. Ze.
Although Karasawa's words that he occasionally used to make fun of him sounded a bit outlandish, the meaning behind them was very correct.
Karasawa is the Phantom Thieves, and the Phantom Thieves are Karasawa. He and they are one.
The eyebrows of Hoshikawa Teru, who had already been convinced of this for a long time, were enough to show how outrageous Karasawa's idea was.
"Sometimes Tang Ze is too cautious, as if the world would fall apart if some people knew his identity. Sometimes, he seems not to take some people seriously..." Also watching Miyano Akemi, who was responsible for this action plan, also expressed her helplessness after a moment of silence, "Especially when it comes to organizations."
When it comes to organizations, Karasawa's designs will be particularly special. , this makes Miyano Akemi, who grew up in the shadow of the organization and thought she would never be able to get out of this huge shadow in her life, still not comfortable with it.
Naomi Asai flipped through the content on his phone, carefully zoomed in on the photo of the silver-haired woman, looked at it carefully, and said after hearing the words: "Isn't this normal? Go all out in the face of the enemy, be bold and careful, never look forward or backward, This is the reason why Tangze has reached this point in the organization... Some things become more difficult when facing one's own people. "
For example, deception, exploitation, etc., in the face of good intentions, these attack methods are easy to deal with. Will become hesitant, Asai Chengmi himself also understands this.
In this regard, Tangze's symptoms were more serious than him, so much so that when faced with several of their teammates who knew very well about his true condition, he was still in the mood to play dirty tricks, facing those who were Friends who misunderstood him due to lack of information became a lot more stupid.
However, Asai Narumi doesn’t hate such people.
He himself can sometimes see his own shadow in Tang Ze, and he is always vigilant.
Attacking the enemy is to protect what needs to be protected. This may be the most important part that can distinguish them from the Avengers who are deeply distorted by hatred and cause more harm. They must not lose sight of one thing and the other.
"Well, so now, everyone has reached a consensus?" Noah's somewhat excited voice came from the earphones, "I will locate everyone's position, Xingchuan, put on the earphones, once you communicate with Ku When Lasso encounters, I will open the channel as soon as possible, PlanA, action!"

"That man is the third deceased." Mouri Kogoro. Sitting at the conference table, he crossed his arms and asked, "Are you sure it's a serial murder case?"
"All three people were stabbed through their wallets and then into their hearts with daggers, and they were all killed first. After strangling him and killing him, he arranged it like this," Hattori Heiji analyzed. "The police have not disclosed these details, which can basically rule out the possibility of copycat crimes."
"If the wallet was pierced, is it possible that it was due to a property dispute?" Yuan Shan and Ye thought for a moment, feeling a little confused.
“It doesn’t look like it. The first victim, Hidetoshi Nagao, was the owner of a convenience store, and the second victim, Tayo Nishiguchi, was the proprietress of an izakaya. The one we met today, named Kazuto Anno, was a Taxi drivers don't seem to be a profession that is related to economic crimes."
"Since the dagger was not the cause of their death, the murderer must have other reasons for not investigating them. Is it a personal relationship?" Conan asked thoughtfully.
Almost identical traces were found on the victims who had been confirmed dead, which were basically clues that could directly point to the motive of the crime.
Generally speaking, this kind of execution-like technique means that the murderer's motive may be some kind of grudge, so the murderer is likely to come from the intersection of the interpersonal network of several people;
Another type of serial killer who is simply a murderer may also behave in the same way, and this will also be related to his pattern of selecting victims.
In serial murder cases, the similarities and differences in techniques are the most noteworthy parts.
Tang Ze, who was playing with drink bottle caps, finally raised his head when he heard this.
He guessed that the police should have discovered the intersection of these people's networks, otherwise Hattori Heiji would not suddenly talk to him about that conversation.
It is speculated that the murderer may be related to the police system, and the entire case may be related to some kind of shady story.
Perhaps Karasawa's commission inspired Hattori Heiji to be vigilant in some aspects. The truth behind this case may be exposed earlier than originally planned.
"The life trajectories of the first two victims basically have no overlap, but we did find an overlapping figure in their relationship network." Hattori Heiji said, looking at Karasawa, He quickly turned his gaze away with restraint, "Member of the Osaka Prefectural Assembly, Sotaro Goji. Officer Sakata and the others are already investigating the situation of the third victim, and they should reach a conclusion soon."
"Found it, Heiji!" As he spoke, Sakata Yusuke walked over quickly with a video tape, "The connection between the third victim and Goji Sotaro. Six years ago, when Councilor Goji was involved in a corruption scandal, , the deceased Anno Kazuto was his driver!”
