Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 127 Serial Murder Incident

"what!"

Everyone was taken aback by this sudden accident, and Xiao Lan, Yuan Shan and Ye even screamed in horror.

Shiraiwa Maha, Conan, and Hattori Heiji were used to this kind of scene for a long time, without the slightest fear, they immediately ran over to check the situation.

Baiyan Maha didn't check the corpse immediately, but looked up to make sure that there were no other falling objects threatening everyone's safety.

However, to his surprise, there was a figure on the edge of the roof of the tall building where the body fell, lying on the railing and looking down.

"There's someone up there!"

After Shiraiwa Maha reminded the two of them, he ran to the roof of the building first, and after Conan and Hattori Heiji arranged for the driving officer Sakata to call the police, he followed suit.

Bai Yanzhenyu's physical fitness is already strong, and he used skills similar to parkour, and soon reached the roof of the building, and saw the man in yellow who was looking down.

Looking at the man in yellow who turned around when he heard the movement, Bai Yanzhenyu's expression darkened, and he asked, "Did you push that man down?"

"No, I didn't do it."

The man in yellow waved his hands in a panic, and explained: "I am the manager of the coffee shop on the second floor. Someone called me and said there was a strange man on the roof, so I went up to check the situation, and I heard that there was something wrong on the floor. There was a scream from downstairs, so I leaned on the railing to see what happened downstairs."

"Oh? Really?" Bai Yanmao didn't believe his one-sided words, staring at the other person's eyes, trying to see something from it.

"Really, this is my business card. If you don't believe me, you can ask my clerk." The man in yellow took out a business card and handed it to Maha Shiraiwa, which proved his identity, but he couldn't clear his name. suspect.

"In that case, please come downstairs with us to meet the police."

The suspicion in Shiraiwa Maha's heart weakened a little, and Hattori Heiji and Hattori Heiji who rushed over searched the building before returning downstairs with the suspect.

Before the police arrived at the scene, Shiraiwa Maha and others were not idle, and began to check the corpse hanging from the front hood.

The victim was a middle-aged man with a rope tied around his waist, a knife stuck in his chest, and a black wallet between the knife and his chest.

Judging from the stiffness of the corpse and the blood clotting at the wound, the death time was at least a day ago, and the cause of death was not a knife stuck in the chest, but suffocation by being strangled by the neck.

After inspecting the condition of the corpse, Bai Yanmao pointed to the rope around the waist of the deceased, and speculated: "It seems that this uncle should not have lied. The uncle opened the door, and the corpse would fall out."

Officer Sakata looked at the rooftop above, then at the corpse, and asked in puzzlement, "But why did he fall into the patrol car?"

"It should be just a coincidence," Hattori Heiji touched his chin, and said thoughtfully, "But I think this should be a punishment for someone, right?"

"Uh Hattori, what punishment?" Shiraiwa Maha was taken aback when he heard the words, not quite understanding what Hattori Heiji meant.

Hattori Heiji scratched his head and explained: "The murder knife pierced the wallet and directly stabbed the chest. This situation is exactly the same as the previous two cases. This is already the third case."

Just when everyone was about to ask for details, a middle-aged woman in the crowd of onlookers suddenly let out a short scream, turned around in panic and fled to the car parked by the roadside.

"Hello, that auntie."

Hattori Heiji was about to chase after him, but found that the car had already disappeared, he stopped helplessly, and sighed: "Damn it, she ran away!"

"Don't worry, I've written down the license plate number, and I'll let someone check it later and find out the identity of that aunt."

Conan walked up to Hattori Heiji, and asked seriously: "Hattori, please tell us the exact case you mentioned."

"Okay, but this is not a place to talk. I'll tell you at the police station."

Hattori Heiji nodded, and after the police came to control the scene, he took Shiraiwa Maha and others back to the Osaka Prefecture Police Higashijiri Station, and told about the previous case.

"More than ten days ago, the first incident occurred in Toyonaka City. The victim was a middle-aged man named Hidetoshi Nagao;"

"Last week, a second incident occurred in Mukata City. The victim was a middle-aged woman named Nishiguchi Tadai;"

"There were no witnesses in the two cases, and the scene was more than ten kilometers away, but they have one thing in common, that is, the murderous knife."

"I don't know if there is any special reason. After the two victims were strangled to death by the murderer, they deliberately pierced the wallet in the jacket pocket with a murder knife, and then stabbed into the heart."

After Hattori Heiji told everyone the news that the Osaka police suppressed and did not report, he asked everyone to keep the news temporarily so that public opinion would not affect the police's investigation of the case.

Everyone knew this, agreed without hesitation, and then began to study these murders.

Shiraiwa Maha looked at the photos of the scene brought by Hattori Heiji, pointed to the wallet on the chest of the victim, and guessed: "The murderer pierced the wallet on purpose, could it be because of financial problems?"

"Hidetoshi Nagao is the manager of the convenience store, Tadayo Nishiguchi is the proprietress of the izakaya, and Kazuto Noyasu, who fell before, is a taxi driver."

Holding his chin with his right hand, Hattori Heiji explained while flipping through the documents: "Hidetoshi Nagao and Daidai Nishiguchi's assets are in good condition, and there is very little possibility of getting involved with the murderer because of money, and besides the method of being killed, There is simply no other common ground.”

After listening to Hattori Heiji's explanation, Shiraiwa Maha shook his head and reminded: "No, this kind of deliberate approach can basically rule out the possibility of killing people without motive, so there must be something in common, but you haven't found it yet. of."

Hattori Heiji frowned slightly, and argued, "Although the schools where they were born, grew up, studied, and worked are all here in Osaka, but the area is completely different."

Police officer Sakata ran into the house from the outside, heard the conversation between the two, and said excitedly: "Brother Heiji, this brother Baiyan is right, we have found something in common with the victims!"

"Really?" Hattori Heiji was very surprised, and asked impatiently, "What's the common point?"

"It's all in here."

Officer Sakata waved a roll of video tape in his hand, turned on the projector in the room, and played the contents inside.
