Listening to Kazuha's words, Hattori Heiji said "uh" and his hand holding the phone froze——
By the way, what does "solving the case faster than me every time" mean? Do you mean that I'm not as good as Shu Yunwen, that cheater?
Also, what do you mean by "It's the same with or without you"? Are you looking down on me?
Hattori Heiji had a "well" mark on his forehead, looked at the time on his phone, and gritted his teeth bitterly——
It is now half past twelve, and the tram will arrive at the station in ten minutes. Including leaving the station, and waiting for the bus, Shu Yunwen and the others will arrive at about 1:40!
I must solve the case before that, find out the murderer, and prove my strength!!
Hattori Heiji encouraged himself, then turned to look at Kazuye and said: "Kazuye, I'm warning you, you must not tell classmate Yunwen and Mr. Mori about the case that happened here. Do you understand? And don't worry.
, after I find the murderer, I will go to the stadium immediately!"
After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he ran towards the locker room again, while Kazuha said "uh" and winked with a cute look on his face:
"Well, I think I want Yunwen and the others to solve the case so that Heiji can free up time to compete..."
But this situation...why does it seem to have the opposite effect?
…
12:40 noon, Shin-Osaka Station.
In front of the platform, as the train door opened, Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Sumi and others were mixed in the crowd, chatting and walking out of the station.
There was a bus stop next to the station. Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Sumi and the others walked over and waited for the bus bound for Higashijiri. Hirano Haori stopped a taxi and got in it with Kaneda Kazuichi and Nanase Miyuki.
When Tsukamoto Shumei, Xiaolan and the others saw this, they said "Ah": "Ms. Hirano, aren't you taking the bus?"
Hearing this, Hirano Haori raised his hand and looked at his watch and said: "It's a little faster now. Taking the bus is too slow. I want to rush there..."
"Oh, really?" Tsukamoto Sumi nodded. Shu Yunwen also raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "In that case, why don't we all take a taxi there!"
"Okay, let's take a taxi. It's really too slow to wait for the bus!~"
Uncle Maoli nodded indifferently, walked to the side and reached out to hail a taxi. Then he turned to look at Shu Yunwen who was also hailing a taxi and said: "Xiaolan, Conan, hurry up and get in the car - and classmate Yunwen, please
You call Hattori kid first and tell us we will arrive early!"
"Okay, Mr. Mori."
…
One o'clock in the afternoon, Langhua Central Stadium.
Beside the aisle outside the second building, Hattori Heiji held his chin with one hand and strolled slowly, thinking about the case:
"Based on the current situation, it is very likely that the murderer is among the four friends of the deceased. According to the testimonies of Mentani, Tsuguchi, Otegawa, and Hakada, Mentani, Tsuguchi, and Otegawa discovered the deceased together.
In the sports warehouse, there was a dead man covered in blood. Then Otegawa asked Meniya to go to the nearby police station to find the police. Otegawa himself went outside the second building, borrowed a mobile phone from a student eating lunch at the door, and called an ambulance; as for Tsuguchi
, he was in Mendani, and after Otegawa and the others left, they ran to the main building to look for Hakamada, but because the badge with his name hanging on his belt was missing, a lot of time was wasted——"
"——The time these three people left was about fifteen minutes!"
"By the way, Otegawa also said that after calling the hospital, in order to explain to the doctor the condition of the deceased Sui Mi, he returned to the warehouse of the second building to check the injury of Sui Mi, and then rushed to the nearby police station. This point
, Mian Gu, who rushed to the police station to call the police first, can confirm..."
Hattori Heiji struggled with his thoughts in his mind, and then scratched his head frantically: "Damn it! Who could be the murderer? As for the motive, Hakamada must have it. After all, his girlfriend is the deceased's ex-girlfriend, and the deceased was drunk.
He would always say things like 'I must kill him'... Wait! The deceased had said 'that thing' before, could that be the motive?"
Hattori Heiji was thinking about it, and happened to see Naguchi passing by. His eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed Naguchi and said, "Mr. Naguchi, wait a moment! This morning, what did Mr. Taromi say in front of the bathroom?"
What is it, can you tell me?"
"Ah?" Chunkou looked panicked when he heard this, and stammered, "Don't ask me! I don't know anything!"
As Tsuguchi said, he threw away Hattori Heiji's arm and ran towards the main building. Hattori frowned and his eyes fell on a few students at the entrance of the second building. He walked over quickly and asked: "
Sorry to excuse you, have you ever had bento here before?"
"Well, that's right." The students nodded, and then they recognized Hattori Heiji, "Aren't you Hattori from Kaigata Academy? Your school is playing in the semi-finals, what are you doing here?"
"Uh... this is not important!~" Hattori Heiji waved his hand, and then continued to ask, "I want to ask, did you see any strange people when you were eating lunch here before?"
"Well, we saw three strange college students running around with the police, and they even borrowed a phone from us..."
Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "What about the three of them?"
"Except for the three of them..." A student frowned and thought, then punched his fist and said, "By the way! I remember a person walked out of the second hall carrying someone else's protective equipment."
"Other people's protective equipment? How do you know it's someone else's?" Hattori Heiji was slightly startled, and the person replied: "Because he was wearing his own protective equipment at the time!"
"Wearing protective gear?"
Hattori Heiji was thinking, and then an idea flashed:
"...Wait a minute! Could it be that the murderer transported the body to the changing room of the swimming pool in a large bag containing protective equipment?"
"In this case, the suspicion of the man named Hakamada is very high! He probably killed the deceased at the sports warehouse first, and then pretended that he could not find the deceased at the main building, and asked Mentani, Tsuguchi, and Otegawa to go there
Looking for the dead person, he sneaked back to the sports warehouse, waited for the body to be found by Harukou and others, ran to call an ambulance, and then secretly moved the body to the changing room of the swimming pool behind the police car, then returned to the main building to wait for Harkou to arrive..."
"...But this isn't right! What if Mian Gu, Yuguchi, and Kotegawa didn't all leave, and if one person was left to guard him, wouldn't he be trapped in the sports warehouse and unable to get out? What's more, Mian Gu
Gu and the others don’t know the location of the body, so they may not necessarily go to the warehouse..."
Hattori Heiji was thinking seriously when his cell phone suddenly rang. He quickly took it out and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment and then pressed the answer button and said:
"Hello, classmate Yunwen! Are you leaving the station now?"
