To this small gathering, Yuan Shan and Ye's father also came.
He and Hattori Heiji's father sat opposite each other. The two middle-aged men ate in silence. Because they didn't talk much, they ate faster than several young people.
After eating, the two dignified-looking veteran cadres looked at each other and walked out one after another into the courtyard.
Jiang Xia looked at the direction they left, and then looked at the ghosts who were forming a circle on the tatami next to them and were sorting out their murderous intentions.
Today, all the members of the university kendo club were exuding murderous aura. With the death of Kuami Atsushi, the murderous aura fell one after another, and they were packed up and picked up. In addition, gin was delivered to their doorsteps. The lives of the ghosts were busy and fulfilling.
Among the group of ghosts, Xiaobai unfortunately sat in a position facing Jiang Xia, and was the first to look at the master of the spiritual medium who came over.
After a moment, it seemed to understand something, put down the delicious murderous aura in its hand, turned its head reluctantly and floated out to listen to the corner of the two policemen.
…
The weather was fine, and Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjiro stood in the courtyard admiring the moon.
After admiring it for two seconds, Toyama Ginshiro turned to Hattori Heizo: "Do you still remember the case in Osaka Castle 13 years ago?"
Hattori Heizo frowned: "Are you talking about the charred corpse that floated up from the moat?"
"That's right. The identity of the charred corpse is still unknown. The only clue we have is this pottery fragment found on the victim -" He took out an evidence bag from his pocket and showed it to Hattori Heizou.
Xiaobai also floated over, holding the bag and watching it closely.
After carefully memorizing its appearance, it nodded with satisfaction, floated to the side again, and listened politely. At the same time, it couldn't help but mutter in its heart: These policemen really like to run around with physical evidence. It would be better if the physical evidence was replaced by murderous intent.
Already...
…
Hattori Heizo knew nothing about the voyeur next to him.
He also turned to look at the fragments, nodded impressed, and then guessed something: "Is something similar appearing again?"
"Haha, you are really sharp." Toyama Ginshiro is the criminal director of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. He has more direct contact with murder cases than his immediate boss, Hattori Heizo.
He quickly stopped smiling and said seriously: "A while ago, we found an unidentified charred corpse in the moat east of Osaka Castle. It also had a similar fragment on it.
"Now that the fragment has been sent to the scientific research institute, the specific results will take a while, but at present, I am almost certain that it was made during the same period as the fragment 13 years ago. And the one discovered this time
On the outside of the fragment, there are the words 'eight hundred and forty-eight' printed on it."
Hattori Heizo understood why he attached so much importance to this matter: "So that's it, it's 'that'."
This kind of number within a thousand, combined with the porcelain fragments like gourd mouths, and the special location of "Osaka Castle", inevitably reminds people of that treasure-the legendary horse seal composed of a thousand golden gourds.
Into a scoop.
Hattori Heizo was about to say something when he suddenly noticed something and turned his head to look under the tree: "Who is there?!"
The aura accumulated over decades is terrifyingly powerful.
Xiaobai happened to be floating right in front of him. After being yelled at, he floated to the side guiltily and hid behind the tree trunk.
But soon, it calmed down again. After thinking for a moment, Xiaobai tried his best to blow a small gust of wind to the side.
"Aju!"
Conan, who was also hiding behind a tree, suddenly sneezed when his back felt cold.
After the beating, he rubbed his nose and raised his head, and suddenly found two tall black figures in front of him.
Conan froze, and then someone picked him up by the collar and lifted him up.
"It's you." Toyama Ginshiro laughed and put him down again, "Children, don't eavesdrop on adults' conversations, you will have nightmares at night."
Conan was so shocked at first that his heartbeat was racing, but now he slowly calmed down.
He touched the back of his head. He was still a little curious after all, so he showed an innocent child's smile and said tentatively: "Haha, I actually don't quite understand. Well... why don't you guys say more?"
Hattori Heizo didn't answer the call.
Toyama Ginshiro showed a mysterious smile, reached out and touched his head, and then ignored Conan's expectant gaze: "Okay, let's go back."
…
Although judging from the words of the police, it seemed that a serial murder case spanning 13 years was being revived, Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjiro did not disclose the details to several young people.
After all, they are different from the Megure Police Department or the Otaki Police Department. Rather than relying on detectives, the two of them are more accustomed to solving cases on their own, and their efficiency is pretty good.
So for high school students, when the police are busy, it's more like they are on a sightseeing tour.
…
After Toyama and Ye learned that Maorilan and the others were coming, they made travel plans early, but they were constantly interrupted by the sporadic murders that happened around Hattori Heiji and Conan.
This time, in addition to Mao Lilan and Conan, there were also Jiangxia and Suzuki Sonoko. Toyama and Ye suddenly became more motivated, determined to let Tokyoites appreciate the beauty of Osaka this time.
The first stop is the castle tower.
This place is a famous historical site, and the terrain is relatively high. Yuanshan and Ye have a very high priority in their hearts - it is not a loss to see the most interesting things first, and then the journey will be interrupted later.
"The round one is the Osaka Castle Hall, and the towering buildings opposite it are the Osaka business district. Behind the building, although it is blocked from view, the Information Bureau there is the most famous landmark in Osaka.
One of the buildings! If..."
Toyama and Ye paused strangely, and then continued in an erratic tone: "Well, if everything goes well today, after we visit Osaka Castle, we will go there to have a look."
After saying that, she put away the small notebook she took notes in, turned around and looked at a group of classmates: "How about it, Osaka is great!"
Hattori Heiji sighed: "The last time they came to Osaka, I introduced all these attractions - you failed very much as a tour guide."
Yuan Shan and Ye's eyes twitched, not convinced: "But there are only so many famous scenic spots! And there will be festivals and other activities later, can you find other better places?"
"Of course." Hattori Heiji raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, "Look, the 'Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters' directly opposite Osaka Castle. Go in and visit it from beginning to end. Isn't it more fun than these attractions? And there is an unfinished building next to it.
’s new building.”
A group of people followed his direction and saw the new police building. Although it had not yet been officially put into use, a banner had been hung on the roof: Please actively report fugitives and wanted criminals!
