Hearing the shrill cry for help coming from the phone, Heiji, Conan and Sakata Yusuke all looked solemn.
"Calm down!" Sakata Yusuke slammed the accelerator, and the car returned to the road and drove forward at a fast speed.
He solemnly told Okazaki Sumie on the phone: "We'll be there right away. Lock the door and don't let anyone in!"
"Eh? Oops!" Hattori looked out the car window, "We passed the Saito Apartment!"
The speed was too fast and they had already passed. Osaka's streets have many one-way streets, so they could not turn around directly but had to take a detour.
"What should I do? There are a lot of vehicles in Midosuji, and it will be blocked for a long time. It will take a lot of time to detour around Yotsubashi-suji..."
Sakata Yusuke slapped his forehead in frustration.
"parking!"
Before the car stopped, Hattori Heiji jumped out of the car with Conan and ran towards the Saito Apartment across the street diagonally behind.
"You can run faster!"
Heiji ran and explained.
"Hey! Heiji!" Sakata Yusuke seemed to want to call the two of them.
However, the two of them were so anxious that they didn't care about the shouts behind them and rushed straight towards Xidu Apartment.
After the two ran some distance away, Sakata Yusuke in the car looked back at Yuan Huaiyu in the back seat.
"Mr. Yuan, why don't you go with Heiji and the others? The situation is very critical!"
His face showed a completely worried expression for Ms. Okazaki Sumie.
"Just leave this to me, and I'll drive around to meet you at Xidu Apartment!"
He patted his chest and said.
Yuan Huaiyu looked at him with a meaningful smile on his face.
"No need, just let me follow you, Mr. Sakata. They have already gone far away, and even if I go there, I won't be able to help them much," he said.
"How could it be? I heard Heiji say that Mr. Gen, you are an excellent detective and you will definitely be able to discover something!" Sakata Yusuke said.
Yuan Huaiyu smiled: "Haha... If I were really a good detective, I should always sit in this car."
"Uh..." Sakata Yusuke looked confused, "Mr. Gen, what... do you mean? I don't understand."
"Don't you understand?" Yuan Huaiyu shook his head slightly, "I originally thought, Mr. Sakata, you should understand what I mean..."
Sakata Yusuke's expression suddenly changed.
His face was a little pale, his breathing became rapid, and he said tentatively: "Mr. Yuan is joking, I really don't understand..."
"Then let me make it more clear." Yuan Huaiyu stared into Sakata Yusuke's eyes and said softly, "The three people in front should be Mr. Sakata. You killed them right, right?"
"!!!"
Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Sakata Yusuke pointed at Yuanhuaiyu and was so shocked that he could not speak.
"You...you...how is this possible, Mr. Yuan, I am a policeman, what reason do I have to kill them...ha, haha..."
Sakata Yusuke was sweating all over his body as he tried to defend himself.
Yuan Huaiyu laughed in his heart.
[If I hadn’t known and believed that you were the one who killed the person, maybe you could have gotten away with it. 】
"Are you trying to say that you have no connection with them and have no motive to commit murder?"
Yuan Huaiyu looked at Sakata Yusuke and nodded heavily, crossed his arms on his chest, and said unhurriedly:
"Do you know? The first time I started to doubt you was after the body fell. You asked Heiji why the body fell on the police car one day after he and others said it was dead."
Sakata Yusuke opened his eyes wide and heard Yuan Huaiyu continue to say:
"Generally speaking, when you have questions in your mind and ask others, you will look directly at the person you are asking."
He spread his hands.
"But you didn't. Your eyes were wandering and evasive, as if you didn't dare to look at Heiji."
"Generally speaking, this kind of situation often means that you have a guilty conscience, which means... that you know the answer to the question you asked from the beginning."
Yuan Huaiyu looked at the livid Sakata Yusuke: "Actually, if you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, it's really a coincidence that the body happened to fall on the police car, isn't it?"
"But if someone deliberately adjusted the position so that the body would land exactly there, it would make sense."
Sakata Yusuke was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yuan Huaiyu waving his hand.
"...You don't have to rush to defend yourself, just listen to what I have to say."
"I was just a little suspicious of you at first, but when I focused on you, I made new discoveries at the police station."
"Do you still remember? The videotape you played for us at that time."
Yuan Huaiyu looked at the surprised Sakata Yusuke: "I discovered that you and the driver in the video, the third deceased, No Yasu Kazuto, have a habit."
"That is, as soon as you get in the car, you must immediately adjust the position of the rearview mirror, and you will adjust it very carefully."
"Combined with the knife that penetrated the wallet and stabbed into the heart, it is not difficult to think of the things that are often placed in wallets."
"Besides paper money, that's everyone's driver's license."
Yuan Huaiyu came closer and said, "Although I still don't know why it is related to the driver's license, from these clues, I can be sure that your motive for killing is because of the things related to the driver's license."
"Am I right?"
Sakata Yusuke, who had been holding on to his body, finally collapsed.
He looked at Yuanhuaiyu with a wry smile: "I didn't expect... I originally thought that Heiji was already a very powerful detective, but I didn't expect that he is not on the same level as you."
Yuan Huaiyu shook his head: "If you hadn't been too deliberately trying to get me off the bus just now, I wouldn't be so sure."
"Huh?" Yusuke Sakata finally understood that his unnatural attitude had exposed his flaws, and that what he said before was partly a bluff.
His face was full of annoyance: "I thought my suggestion was reasonable..."
"But in the eyes of people who already doubt you, your behavior is full of flaws."
Yuan Huaiyu said.
"If I get out of the car, you will immediately call Sumie Okazaki and tell her that you are the police officer."
"Then he deceived her and arranged to kill her in a deserted corner... It could be said that no one was aware of her, because they would not suspect you in the first place."
"So it seems that you did it deliberately when you drove past Xidu Apartment before, right?"
"What you said...is not wrong at all." Sakata Yusuke slumped in the driver's seat, hopeless.
He never dreamed that his carefully designed plan would be seen through by the man he just met at noon today.
In addition to feeling disappointed and annoyed, Sakata Yusuke also felt a deep fear of this man.
