A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 107 The picture of deja vu

During dinner, Toyama Ginshiro was unable to drive home because he was sitting with his uncle and drank a little wine, so he asked Toyama Heizo to send him back by name.

The two had known each other for so many years, and Hattori Heizo certainly understood the meaning contained in Toyama Ginshiro's words.

"Say it, call me out on purpose, what's the matter?"

Toyama Ginshiro did not answer the question immediately, but turned around and glanced at Kazuha who was sleeping in the back seat.

"Why, what you said has something to do with your daughter?"

"I think my daughter and your son have a very good relationship. Do you want to make an appointment first?"

"I have no opinion, it mainly depends on the children's own ideas."

Hattori Heizo knew his son well, and he could see his feelings for Kazuha, and Kazuha grew up under his own watch, and his feelings for Hattori were also extraordinary.

The two of them didn't notice that the face of Kazuha in the back seat was slightly red. She had already woken up when she heard her father Hattori calling her name.

"Oh, in a blink of an eye, the child is so big."

"What's wrong with you today, what do you want to express when you fall to the ground?"

"Do you still remember that incident 13 years ago, the burnt body found on the Osaka Higashi Shuai Road?"

Hattori Heizo didn't speak, but the hand holding the steering wheel was even harder, as if trying to crush it.

Of course he couldn't forget that his friend who was also a policeman was implicated and died inexplicably because of the investigation of this incident.

Later, because the clues were broken, and for various reasons, it finally disappeared, but he will never forget the tragedy when he saw his friend die.

Knowing what his old buddy was thinking, Toyama Ginshiro was also a person who experienced this case back then.

"Yesterday, our Metropolitan Police Department found a corpse again. It was also burned to death, and the same fragments as the scene ten years ago were left behind."

Hattori Heizo suddenly sneered, of course he knew about this, which is why he wanted to keep Kogoro Mori.

"Last time, due to our lack of status, we couldn't hold on. Now that it has appeared this time, don't even think about running away."

Stepping on the gas pedal hard, the car suddenly accelerated and moved forward, Hattori Heizo seemed to want to vent the resentment in his heart.

……

"This is Tsutenkaku, where you can see the scenery of many places in Osaka, and the surrounding buildings are the most famous in Osaka."

The next day, Kazuha and Hattori, as the hosts, led the crowd to visit Osaka. This time, Kazuha acted as the tour guide and led the team.

"What you said is the same as when I brought them here last time, and the route is the same."

Seeing that Xiaolan and the others nodded in agreement, Heye gave up her plan to be a tour guide. This is the guide she wrote last time when she peeked at Hattori.

"Then where are you going? You asked me to lead the team."

Thinking of what his father said to Hattori's father last night, He Ye suddenly wanted to complain about Hattori's blame.

Although he couldn't understand what was going on in his childhood sweetheart's mind, Hattori decided to set off according to the destination he had planned yesterday.

……

"Wow, I didn't expect there to be such a special city in Osaka, much better than Tokyo."

"Hey, Osaka Castle has become the most iconic place in Osaka. It has existed for many years, and it has been 60 years since the last repair."

"No, it should be 70 years to be precise."

A strange voice interrupted Hattori's introduction, and when he turned his head, he saw a chunky, middle-aged man with bald hair.

The bald-headed uncle talked about the history of Osaka Castle on his own, and he seemed to be familiar with these things, and he couldn't go into more detail.

Several people looked at each other, where did this person come from?
"Brother Ieyasu, why are you here? There is a gathering over there."

"Understood, I'll go right away."

A slender man came from a distance and started talking with the bald man, but the way the two of them talked surprised the uncle and the others.

Tokugawa Ieyasu and Akechi Mitsuhide are really famous.

"Excuse me, why do you call each other that?"

After the bald man and the slender man exchanged glances, the slender man explained.

It turned out that they belonged to the same tour group. Because this tour group was a fan of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the names among the five members were somewhat unique.

They are Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide, and the last woman named Nanny.

"Hehehe, what a weird tour group."

For these people's hobbies, the uncles and the others dare not agree, and the thinking logic of a few people is obviously different from that of normal people.

No longer communicating with each other, the uncle and the others began to play around Osaka Castle.

The Tianshou Pavilion is the tallest building in Osaka City, and its antique beauty is the best admiration for it.

Osaka Castle is very big, and it was still early when Hattori and the others came. By the time the shopping was over, it was already evening.

Huiyuan was so tired that he didn't want to walk anymore, and being placed on his back by Noah, Huiyuan still resisted a little at first.

Later, I thought about it, anyway, I have already recited it last time, and it will be fine to recite it again.

"Hey, my wallet is missing, have you seen it?"

He Ye's panicked voice made several people stop.

"Could it be that you fell into Osaka Castle?"

"It's possible, I'll go back and look for it."

When He Ye was about to leave and return, he was stopped by Hattori. They are now at the foot of the castle tower, at the gate of Osaka Castle.

Today they visited all the places in Osaka Castle, and it was too much effort to go in and find the lost wallet.

"How much money is in it?"

"Five thousand."

"Then don't want it, it's not much."

"No, there are still many amulets inside that I asked for."

Without hesitation, he resolutely rejected Hattori's obstruction, and Heye was extremely persistent about his wallet.

"I remember that I didn't use my wallet with Sister Ye very much today. The last time I used it was in that store. You can go and have a look."

Conan pointed to a shop not far away and said, He Ye thought it made sense, and got up to go, Xiaolan was worried, and went with him.

At this moment, the sky began to rain, and the rain continued to grow.

"Why is it raining, there isn't even a shelter from the rain around here."

The uncle and the others were obviously caught off guard by the rain, and suddenly saw Noah taking out an umbrella from his arms.

"You... where did you get the umbrella?"

"I bought it at the store just now. I think the weather is a bit dark, just in case. After all, I have a child on my back and my body is weak."

...Don't you know to warn others when you buy an umbrella, selfish guy.

It's not enough to be exposed to the rain all the time, and several people are going to the store to buy some umbrellas to protect them from the rain. Before they move, the surrounding pedestrians stand in place and discuss loudly.

"What is that, it seems to be a person."

"Is it on fire?"

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the pedestrian, their pupils shrank, and a burning man fell to the ground on the top of the tower.

Hattori and Conan hurriedly took off their clothes to put out the fire, but it was too late, and the man lost consciousness after murmuring a few words to Nobunaga.

"Call the police, he's dead."

Noah didn't immediately come to the corpse. He had a feeling of deja vu in this scene. If I remember correctly, someone fell in front of them last time.

……

"Thank you so much for keeping the wallet for me."

He Ye thanked the store owner excitedly, took out a bunch of amulets from inside, and looked at them happily.

"Hey, He Ye, why did you ask for so many amulets, last time I saw there was only one amulet?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of accidents? I asked for it this morning. I hope it will show up."

"That's probably impossible."

He Ye heard someone hitting him, turned his head to look at the speaker, and found that Noah came in from outside the store with Hui Yuan on his back.

"Hey, Noah, why are you here?"

"It's raining outside, let me buy some umbrellas for them, do you have any?"

"Yes, I brought them out this morning, why don't they come by themselves?"

"As I said just now, someone outside set himself on fire and jumped off the castle tower, and they are currently studying next to the corpse."

...Looking at the pile of begging amulets in his hand, He Ye sighed and put them back in his wallet. It seemed that the begging was still too small to be suppressed.

……

"Mr. Mori, we meet again. I really believe the rumors about Tokyo."

"What rumor?"

"About you, it is said that there will be cases wherever you go, and you are called the God of Plague by the Metropolitan Police Department."

...Embarrassing, the uncle did not expect that the nickname of Police Officer Megure would spread to Osaka.

"Ahem, it's actually not me who caused this kind of thing, but the minister's son."

"Huh? Pingji is also here?"

Officer Otaki followed the uncle's pointing and saw Hattori and Conan lying beside the corpse.
