Chapter 218. Exciting Racing 218
Yamashita finished his explanation proudly, but found that other people's eyes did not change as he imagined. He could only cast his expectant gaze on the police officer who saved him.

The police officer did not disappoint him and interrupted Hattori Heiji's subsequent reasoning. "I understand what you said. We will verify your reasoning."

Yamashita nodded with satisfaction. He thought that one should not trust this kid's reasoning and just deal with it casually.

Then he saw the policeman walk up to him and look at him with a serious black face, "Mr. Yamashita, please come with us."

Facing Shanxia's smug and dull look which had not yet faded away, the policeman cursed inwardly, "idiot". From the confrontation between the two just now, anyone who could think objectively would have discovered that Shanxia was full of suspicious points. If he were not the focus of investigation at all, he would have been questioned long ago with his brain that only cares about the head and not the butt.

And this guy probably forgot how he emphasized during their previous investigation that Tanaka Fengji had been behaving well recently, and it was definitely not his involvement in the theft that confused the police's investigation.

Even though he didn't understand why this guy did this, his years of experience in handling cases made him keenly aware that this might not be the plan of someone down the mountain. Regardless of whether the higher-ups would come forward to bail him out, it was not appropriate for him to let this guy continue to speak in front of the camera.

The reporters naturally did not want to let this big news leak out, but there were not many crew members here. After all, there were many policemen who came to arrest people, and the reporters could not hinder the police's work too much. They were blocked by the police's words "the case handling needs to be confidential", so they could not force their way forward.

The reporter then turned the camera to the detective team, who were left behind intentionally or unintentionally, and asked, "Excuse me, do you know why Director Yamashita of Security would commit such a theft case in his own stadium?"

Hattori Heiji touched his chin and said, "Tanaka doesn't know either, so I didn't know before. I do have some guesses, but I don't have any evidence, so I won't say anything."

Yono Jurina saw the reporters coming up for an interview again, thought for a moment and took the initiative to step forward and interrupt their interview, "Can you help me make the list I asked you for before? It's more important to solve the case now. If we have time later, we will definitely accept your interview."

The reporter was a little disappointed to be interrupted, but he was quite confident that these detectives could solve the case. So if he made friends with them now, it would be more convenient for him to interview them later when the case was fully investigated.

With this in mind, the reporter did not insist on asking further questions, but listed the people who had participated in the filming in the past few days as agreed before, and pointed at the people and asked the detective to identify them.

After that, Nogi Rina stopped asking questions and went to find out other things from the people in the convoy, leaving Conan and the reporter, who had already received the hint, to start chatting with each other using each other as a breakthrough point.

At dinner time, everyone gathered at Asahino Masahei's team training ground to discuss the current case again.

After opening and arranging the packed lunch box, Conan saw Lan Tongyuanshan walking in arm in arm from the door, and suddenly realized that he didn't know where these two people had gone after the game.

At this moment, two people ran in with excited looks, which made him think of the badger that had eaten its fill in the melon field.

After the subconscious picture flashed, Conan felt a little guilty, feeling that his association was not polite. Then, he heard the gossip shared by two girls at the dinner table. The guilt gradually left, and the little detective's confidence reappeared. Sure enough, it was not a guess, but the detective's intuition.

While watching the game with Rina Nogi and the others, they heard some gossip about the players from the audience around them. Especially when they saw the two young and beautiful girls, Xiaolan and Ye, the older sisters said many details from the standpoint of elders, just hoping to protect them.

"Not only did he have promiscuous relationships with women, he was also said to have forced a girl to death. However, the girl committed suicide, so he doesn't need to bear any responsibility. There are even fans who will defend this scumbag. Those sisters should know the girl. Some of the details don't seem to be hearsay, but for this kind of gossip, there is no need to mention the victim's name. They obviously want to protect her, so we didn't ask for more information."

After listening to the gossips the girls told them, the two detectives understood, "You suspect that the perpetrators of the first six cases wanted to target one of the players. When they targeted other teams, they wanted to disrupt the investigation and not hurt anyone, so they only did some minor tricks."

"Yes, judging from the gossip about these teams, this may be the biggest target. But the incident we investigated was very short, and even if there are other unknown reasons, we cannot find out." Yonogi Rina still doesn't know how to explain this association. Even though she already thinks that the probability of this person getting into trouble is quite high, the current evidence can only show that this kind of scum may indeed be retaliated against. The peripheral investigation they can conduct is like the gossip that the two girls heard. It cannot get to the core of the incident and it is difficult to confirm whether the victim's relatives and friends have the motive and ability to kill.

And deep down in her heart, she was looking forward to the evildoer who could not be punished by the law to receive his retribution. If the victim's family really tampered with the vehicle and it has not been detected so far, then the crime that no one could have imagined would become a mysterious accident.

Thinking about the information that Nogi Rina had asked him to focus on, Conan said, "If they want to start it so early and maybe they want to start it in the main competition, then I understand why you are suspicious of the few people who only participated in the interview on the first day."

"Nothing has happened until now. If there really is another purpose, even if the target is not what Detective Yono speculated, these people are also suspicious and are the focus of suspicion."

Solving a case is a race between the attacker and the defender and against time. As time goes by, there will be more and more clues for reasoning, but the criminals can also do more and more things, and it will become increasingly difficult for detectives to prevent something.

Hearing the two detective kids' approval, Yonoki Rina felt that the cold bento tasted much better, "Then let's take a look at these people!"

"Higashino Hitoshi, a senior reporter at the TV station, had a very full schedule, so he only participated in the interviews with the seeded players on the first day, and then went out to report the news. He is not very suspicious, because the current interviewing reporter told me that the boss actually wanted him to report the entire race, but he was unwilling to accept this task because he did not know much about racing."

Yonogi Rina was puzzled, "But isn't it still suspicious that he took the mission on the first day?"

"It is said that this is also the request of the leaders. He is well-known locally, and the leaders think that this will have a better publicity effect. The local government still hopes to support more influential events to promote local tourism."

Hattori Heiji added, "I am still inclined to believe that the perpetrator needs to do something at the scene. If this person has no reasonable reason to appear in the main competition, the suspicion is indeed not high."
