get out of my yokohama

It is a bit unrealistic to say that Hill knew that he was Mr. Phantom Thief as soon as she saw the red herring. From the beginning, she regarded him as a person with unknown purpose.

After chatting for a few words, I found out the truth. He spoke to her in the tone of a junior high school girl, with a melancholy personality, an unfortunate family, and troubled study and life.

The act of disguising itself is a disclosure of the truth, because what people hide is usually the opposite of disguising, so in just a few words, Hill has to outline the true image of Mr. Phantom Thief in real life.

She suppressed her smile and chatted with Mr. Phantom Thief, a girl from the middle school. She didn't even notice that Mr. Ranpo snorted coldly and deliberately walked past her with heavy steps.

Atsushi Nakajima, who knew the two of them, or Mr. Ranpo was having a tantrum unilaterally, frowned helplessly. He wanted to remind Ms. Hill, but saw Mr. Dazai approaching Ms. Hill secretly from behind.

Was it to scare her?

Just when he was caught in the entanglement of reminding or not reminding, Kunikida Doppo came in from the door, saw the sneaky Dazai Osamu subconsciously frowned, "Dazai?"

It was an indirect reminder to Hill. Hill closed the computer, and before turning his head, two hands pressed his shoulders, and the familiar dissatisfied accusation came from above his head, "Hey——I still want to scare Hill."

Kunikida Doppo said, "Don't bother others if you don't work hard yourself."

Dazai Osamu responded perfunctorily, and once again occupied Kunikida Doppo's desk. In the background sound of Atsushi Nakajima hugging the angry Kunikida Doppo and saying "Forget it, Mr. Kunikida", Dazai Osamu's eyes He looked at Hill brightly.

"Is Hill chatting with Renwang?"

It's like yesterday's series of complicated things didn't happen.

"Downloaded a software, it's quite interesting."

"Then I'll add it too." He asked like a child.

In the end, everyone in the detective agency added social software together, and found that they all used one, and even built a group.

Hill found Mr. Ranpo in the list. His avatar is the image of the very popular cartoon Kamen Rider, and he is unique among the avatars of everyone in the detective agency.

Obviously in the same office, the straight-line distance between the desks does not exceed ten meters, but they have to use chat software to talk.

Hill invites Mr. Ranpo to dinner at noon, okay?

Do you want to send a famous detective after a meal in disorder?

Hill that month?

Edogawa Ranpo didn't return. To be precise, he was called to the president's office and didn't have time to return. After a while, Hill was also called.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was the only one in the president's office. He was sitting on the sofa, and when Hill came in, he asked her to sit down.

"Is there a case?" Hill's eyes fell on the folder in front of Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Fukuzawa Yukichi pressed the folder and pushed it in front of her, "Look at it first."

Hill picked it up and flipped through it. Inside were several photos of the scene, along with the autopsy report and the identity of the deceased.

Leaving other things aside, just looking at the "Bible" with its pages unfolded and pressed against the face of the deceased gave Hill a sense of foreboding.

"It's terrible."

"How to say?"

"There are signs of developing into a serial murder case."

Fukuzawa Yukichi "The meaning of Ranpo is the same. In fact, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sent a commission today, and then the second case happened. The information has not been sent yet. You go to assist in the investigation."

"I see, let's go now."

Fukuzawa Yukichi called her to stop, "Aren't you wondering why it's not random steps?"

"Mr. Ranpo just left, the people who came to pick him up didn't dare to delay even a moment, and neither you nor Mr. Ranpo had any objections, and they cooperated very well. I think this is an entrustment from the official, to name Mr. Ranpo before the incident worsens. Solve the case."

"..."

What she said was absolutely correct, the central officials had compulsorily entrusted Ranpo to go to Kyushu to deal with a murder case involving the resurrection of the dead.

In this way, he felt more relieved, and said, "Luanbu recommends you to go, and I also believe in your ability to bring the criminal to justice before the next victim appears."

"clear."

"Take Nakajima."

"Yes."

After coming out of the president's office, Hill entered the office and told Atsushi Nakajima about the matter. Atsushi Nakajima said that he would pack his backpack immediately, and Hill went downstairs to wait for him.

Osamu Dazai who was listening on the side said enviously, "I really want to go to Nishitama City too."

Kunikida Doppo is worthy of being a man who has partnered with Osamu Dazai for two years, and when he heard it, he showed a vigilant expression, "They are going to do business, so don't play tricks on your head."

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Does Kunikida-kun miss me that much? I'm so happy."

Kunikida Doppo "..."

Before leaving, Osamu Dazai patted Atsushi Nakajima on the shoulder and said with a smile on his face, "Do it well."

Atsushi Nakajima replied energetically, "Yes."

……

There were not many people on the tram.

Hill and Atsushi Nakajima sat together to look at the photos. Before looking at them, Hill said, "This is not a simple homicide case. The deceased was abused to a certain extent. Do you still want to see it?"

Atsushi Nakajima thought that this was not the first time he saw a dead person, and there was no adverse reaction, and how could he dare not even look at the photos of a dead person in an armed detective agency?So he said that he was fine, and then Hill opened the folder to him.

Then he froze.

"This this this..."

Dozens of whiplashes were found on the body of the deceased, and the bottoms were taken away. Just looking at the photos is actually quite horrifying.

Atsushi Nakajima looked around, there were not many people in this carriage, but he still lowered his voice and asked, "Why do you whip the dead when you kill someone?"

"Generally speaking, there are two characteristics of victims being tortured, abusive | functional and functional. The latter is used for interrogation and punishment, while the former is for venting emotions."

"He had a grudge against the victim."

"It's hard to say. I want to see the second victim."

After getting off the tram, they took a taxi and rushed to the scene. The corpse was dumped at the garbage recycling station. When the cleaners found the dead body lying in the garbage dump when they went to work, they were so frightened that they called the police immediately.

The police pulled a yellow ticket, Hill showed his detective ID, and the police let him go.

Hill walked in front, followed by Atsushi Nakajima, and while looking around, he almost fell due to inattentive feet. He said to himself that the environment of the garbage collection station here is too bad, and the floor tiles are about to turn into broken stones.

The further you go inside, the more police officers are collecting evidence at the scene. Hill locked on a police officer wearing a hat and a dark brown double-breasted coat, and stepped forward. The latter found her under the reminder of Officer Takagi, and turned pass away.

"Hello, Police Department, I am Sherlock Holmes sent by the Armed Detective Agency to assist in the investigation. This is my partner Atsushi Nakajima."

"I'm the head of the police department of the first search section, thank you for coming."

Then she expressed her exclamation for her surname. Hill was used to it, and after a few words, he went forward to check the corpse.

The second victim was still a woman, aged 30 to 35, with whip marks on her body, no bottoms, and a Bible with its pages open on her face.

Officer Takagi read the identity information of the deceased to the pamphlet.

"The deceased had seen Hanagawa, 32 years old, a best-selling gourmet author. The last person I met yesterday was her editor. We are investigating..."

Hill said, "The direction is wrong. Combined with the previous deceased, it is obviously a serial murder case. The editor I saw earlier has nothing to do with the previous case."

Megure Police Department asked, "Did you find anything?"

Hill stood up and looked at the Mumu Police Department, "The two deceased, they lived a good life and had a certain social status, this police officer."

Takagi, who was suddenly named, stood up subconsciously, "I am Takagi."

"Okay, Officer Takagi," Hill asked kindly, "are they all divorced and remarried?"

"Eh?" Takagi was taken aback by the question.

Megure Police Department asked, "Does this have anything to do with the case?"

"The perpetrators of the serial murder cases all have fixed characteristics of the criminal population, and non-major accidents will not change. If we can't catch him as soon as possible, I think the third victim is also a divorced and remarried woman."

After she explained, Megure Police Department nodded to Officer Takagi, and he went to ask immediately.

Atsushi Nakajima squatted next to Hill, what she saw and what he saw, he couldn't figure out how the conclusion of remarriage after divorce was reached, so he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

The Mumu Police Department on the side also listened with pricked ears.

"Look here," Hill pointed to the lower abdomen of the deceased, "there is a tattoo that has been washed away, not cleaned, and you can vaguely see that it is Hirano's. This is a private place. I assume it was her first job." Husband's last name."

Atsushi Nakajima was thoughtful, "So I changed my surname after the divorce... Wait, can't it just be changing back to my original surname?"

Hill pointed to the ring finger of the deceased's left hand, where there was a ring mark that was slightly shallow but did not disappear.

"I didn't even notice." Atsushi Nakajima looked stunned, like a student solving a difficult problem. He couldn't do it by himself, but he fully understood it after a little tweaking.

At this time, Officer Takagi had finished questioning, and ran back to report, "Both the deceased had a history of marriage and remarried this year."

Officer Mu Mu nodded and asked, "What does this mean?"

He was very eager to solve this case. In the first case, the parents of the deceased disappeared in their arms. They found the body after searching for a long time for two days. Before the first case was solved, he received the second case of disappearance. It must not be kidnapping. Which kidnapper doesn't call to extort money?They searched with a heavy heart, but only found the body two days later.

The abandoned corpse site was deserted, few people came, and there was not even a surveillance camera. From the investigation of the deceased, everyone had an alibi, and there was not even a suspect.

This matter cannot be hidden from the media. Once the masses are dissatisfied, their pressure will be unprecedented.

Now the Mumu police department can only pin their hopes on the detectives. The boss contacted the Armed Detective Agency, and he invited Brother Maoli. Why is Brother Maoli still not here?

People just can't help talking about it, thinking of Kogoro Mori, he came here.

"Mumu police department, I'm late, I'm really sorry!"

"Brother Maoli." Mumu Police Department turned around and greeted.

Mori Kogoro smiled and scratched the back of his head, explaining, "I can't help these two children if they insist on following them."

Megure Police Department is used to Kogoro Mori followed by Ran and Conan, and nodded to them without saying anything.

"Let me introduce you to the investigators of the Armed Detective Agency."

Mouri Kogoro just turned his face away and shouted, "Damn, Kaitou Kidd!?"

Before the police were shocked, an innocent child's voice came from behind him.

"No, this is the real one, right? That Holmes sister."

Hearing this, Hill bowed his head to meet his gaze, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, this is my partner Atsushi Nakajima."

The two shook hands with Mori Kogoro. The crime scene is not a place for gossiping. Once everyone knows everyone, it's time to continue talking about business.

Megure Police Department said, "Miss Holmes, you continue."

Hill "started with the Bible that was turned upside down on the face of the deceased, and that page was the same, punishing sexual misconduct, and there was a description of taking the bottoms, and he asked the deceased to look at this page, and he believed that the deceased was Unchaste."

"He rudely took away the earrings and rings from the deceased. He believed that the deceased was not worthy of wearing them. It took two days from the disappearance of the deceased to the discovery of the body. He tortured them, and finally threw the body of the deceased here. Looking at the surrounding environment, he thought It's rubbish, it's disposable, it's contempt."

"The Bible gave him the 'justification' for killing people. He is a typical mission-oriented serial killer who regards killing certain people as his own responsibility and derives pleasure from it."

"The deceased was abducted at night and it is likely that he had a job during the day."

"I think what we need to look for is a man in his 40s to 50s who has a failed marriage, doesn't want to divorce his ex-wife, and after the divorce has been fantasizing about his wife and entangled with her.

"Recently, his wife remarried, which stimulated him. The appearance is tough, but the heart is cowardly. He does not blame himself for the failure of the marriage, but thinks that the woman is unfaithful. He works in the district office, or has a friend who works in the district office. Let him You can learn about marriage information."

"He is very ordinary, and he is well evaluated by his friends. He claims that he has done everything to save the marriage. It is his wife who changed her mind and complained many times."

"He has a strong desire to control things and likes to explain himself to others. This Bible is to explain to us the motive of killing the victim. He wants to show that the killing is not his own fault but the infidelity of the deceased. He may also think that he is a A good man, he subconsciously does not take responsibility, and has no guilt at all."

"He has a father who lives in the mountains. The relationship between the two is not close. Most of them suffered domestic violence in their childhood."

"If we can't stop him, he will keep killing and the last victim will be his ex-wife."

After Hill finished speaking, he thought about it again, and then stopped after making sure that there was nothing missing, and found that they were staring at him blankly.

"Uh, I suggest that the next step is to go to the district office to investigate the record of women's remarriage in the past month, and then check her ex-husband, select suitable targets, and ask the people around the target. What do you think?"

Police Officer Mu Mu woke up like a dream, "Ah, you are right, brother Takagi."

"Yes."

He wanted to ask some questions, but this case was different from the past, and the next victim might appear after a while, so it's better to investigate first, and then ask for advice if everything is really as she said.

"Brother Maori, do you have anything to say?"

Mori Kogoro glanced at the deceased, no matter how you looked at it, it was a case where there were no suspects in the three, and said, "I think the same as Miss Hill."

"In that case, let's not stay here anymore, go back to the police station and wait for news."

On the way from the scene to the police car, a child named Conan walked a few steps behind Hill.

"Big sister is amazing, she can see so many organized clues from a dead body." The child's voice was childish.

Hill lowered his head, met his sky blue eyes, bent his eyes and smiled, "Little brother, you don't seem to believe my profile, do you want to know what you look like in my eyes?"

Conan "..."
