Conan's other me

Chapter 71 Purse Suspicion ([-])

He Ye and Xiao Lan obviously didn't realize that they were investigating crimes rather than traveling.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hattori Heiji dragged Fengbara and Conan all the way away, turning a deaf ear to Kazuha's shout, which took a while to react.

And Uncle Mao Li, who was a little confused about the situation, got into the police car, and then he realized that there was no need for them to take their two children with them when they went out to do business.

"Why did you bring these two brats with you—"

"Now is not the time to worry about this, uncle," Hattori Heiji skillfully changed the subject, "The prisoner may still be planning the next operation. Sakata, drive faster and turn on the siren."

"okay."

Sakata Yusuke turned on the siren obediently.

So they quickly arrived at the nearby driving supervision office.

Obviously, they came here to check the relevant records of the three deceased, and soon the staff brought three documents.

"Don't the three of them have any criminal records?" Hattori Heiji asked a little unwillingly after reading it carefully.

The staff hummed in response.

"And," Sakata Yusuke said, "the year and place where the three of them took their driver's license exams are different."

"Then it has nothing to do with the driver's license?"

Uncle Mao Li was a little proud. He said before that there is nothing strange about the driver's license, and this kid insisted on coming to see it.

"What about the person who ran away before?" After thinking for a while, Fengyuan asked aloud, "If the prisoner wants to warn someone, as Brother Hattori said, then she is the one who should be warned? Don't you want to look at her criminal records?"

"Yup!"

Because there was a license plate, Hattori Heiji had already found out the person's information before.

That person's name is Okazaki Sumie.

After being reminded by Fengyuan, he quickly asked the staff of the driving supervision office to call up the information of that person.

"No, there is no criminal record," Hattori Heiji shook his head, "And unlike those three people, Okazaki did not teach in Osaka but at the Hyogo coaching ground."

"Hyogo coaching ground?"

"Oh, there." The staff on the side were obviously impressed, "the overnight driving classes there are very cheap and famous."

"Accommodation?"

This is obviously another new clue.

Hattori Heiji asked the phone number, intending to ask if there were any records of the deceased and Okazaki Sumie at the Hyogo coaching ground.

Sakata Yusuke, who has been serving as a follower, took over this task.

"What! Okazaki Sumie and Nishiguchi Tadayo lived in the same room when they participated in the dormitory training class?" Sakata Yusuke said to the phone in surprise.

"Great!" Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally found the relationship between them."

"Tch, I was really fooled by you little ghosts."

"But isn't that strange?"

Conan questioned.

"Okazaki was the only one who got a driver's license back then, and Nishiguchi took the test again three years later. Why didn't she get a driver's license back then?"

"It must be because the technology is too bad, it took a long time to pass the exam..."

"No, can't you?" During the conversation between the two, Sakata Yusuke, who was still on the phone on the other side, seemed even more surprised, "What you said is true?"

"what happened?"

"In addition to Okazaki and Nishiguchi, other people also participated in the joint driving training class 20 years ago," Sakata Yusuke said to Hattori Heiji, "Hidetoshi Nagao was the first to be killed, Kazuto Noyasu was the third to be killed...and the government council member Sotaro Goji..."

"That's not all." After a pause, Sakata Yusuke's expression turned ugly, "There was another famous person who was with them at that time."

"Who is a famous person?"

"It's Numabuchi, Numabuchi Kiichiro..."

Numabuchi Kiichiro is currently on the hunt for a robber-murderer.

Even Uncle Mori, who was a bit of a fisherman, immediately realized that this was key information, so Hattori Heiji hurriedly asked the phone to fax the photos of several people at that time.

And even though it has been a long time, because Numabuchi Kiichiro himself has a more distinctive appearance, Hattori Heiji still recognized at a glance that the person on the far right of the photo is Numabuchi Kiichiro himself.

"The looks and names of other people also correspond."

Hattori Heiji showed the photo to Uncle Mori, Conan and Kaedehara.

"However, the strange thing is that they all graduated from the driving training class, but only Okazaki got a driver's license."

"Did something happen?"

"The library should have the newspapers of that time, right?" Conan reminded.

"Yes!" Hattori Heiji deeply agreed, "The Nakanoshima Library is nearby, let's go there now..."

"Hey," Uncle Mao Li didn't want to move, "Just make a phone call and ask them to check it?"

This kid has no embarrassment in using a police car, no matter how he checks the records, he has to go there by himself...

New clues came back quickly via fax machine.

On the day these people graduated 20 years ago, a coach in the driving training class died of drunk driving.

……

Kaedehara did not read the information in the newspaper next to Hattori Heiji like Uncle Mori and Conan, but looked at the group photo of several people in the driving training class.

Hattori Heiji's first sight was to find Koiichiro Numabuchi, and Kaedehara noticed the person who was very similar to Sakata Yusuke at the first sight.

This is a picture from 20 years ago... so the person on it looks almost exactly like Yusuke Sakata.

From Hattori Heiji's explanation on the side, this person's information has gradually been improved.

His name is Inaba Toruji.

He was the famous devil coach in the driving training class back then.

On the fax machine, Hattori Heiji also mentioned that Koichiro Numabuchi fled back to Osaka two weeks ago, and many people, including Yusuke Sakata, also participated in the search and arrest operation.

So Uncle Maori thought that these cases were all done by Kiichiro Numabuchi.He felt that Kiichiro Numabuchi must have had a quarrel with this group of people 20 years ago, and after 20 years, the more he thought about it, the more angry he came back to kill.

Sakata Yusuke partly supports Uncle Mori's point of view. He thinks that Numabuchi Kiichiro may have gone for the member Koji Soutaro, threatening to kill him to force him to help him escape from the hunt.

Conan felt that Uncle Mori's reason for the murder was too outrageous, and it was not necessary to deliberately penetrate the wallet if it was just a quarrel, so he was more inclined to Sakata Yusuke's point of view.

However, these operations by the prisoner are obviously too cumbersome, and it was Okazaki who specifically warned him before, so Conan feels that something is wrong.

And Hattori Heiji...

Hattori Heiji only felt a headache.

Too many people is troublesome, not only can't fit in the car, but too many opinions are messy.

Thinking this way, he noticed that Fengyuan was not there, and looked back, and found that Fengyuan was still at the table where they were sitting before, looking at something distracted.

"Hey, Kudo," Hattori Heiji walked to the side and shouted in a low voice, noticing that Fengyuan was looking at the photo that was sent before, "Your ears are so good, you heard everything we said, right?"

"Don't you want to comment?"
