"That..." The old farmer was mid-sentence, and he realized after a few beats that he still didn't know the name of that low-key guest.
He only knew that the man seemed to be a friend of the store manager. He had only communicated with the store manager since he came to the store a few days ago. He didn't know what he was doing hidden in the room every day - he didn't seem to like socializing and rarely participated in the store.
Naturally, he was not familiar with the old farmers and falconers.
The falconer also began to look left and right: "Speaking of it, it seems that he has not been seen since the gunshot."
The old farmer thought about it carefully and said firmly: "It was earlier than that - when I was preparing to make popcorn at noon, I ran before and after to prepare the materials. I never met him in the store."
The more the two people talked, the more relieved they became: "There is such a big noise, there are gunshots and police cars, but the guest has not shown up yet... This shows that he has a big problem!" And at the murder scene, the problem was so big.
The person must be the murderer.
As they talked to each other, Otaki Police Department's thoughts were led astray, and they couldn't help but feel a little shaken: "So, it's a bit strange..."
However, Suzuki Sonoko did not believe that Jiang Xia's judgment was wrong. She touched her chin and showed a serious and thoughtful expression: "How can it be said that the guest is the murderer if he doesn't show up? - Maybe he is just dead?"
Several clerks: "..."
Otaki Police Department: "..."
It sounds a bit absurd, but even though it's absurd...it seems to make some sense!
Could it be that this is a serial murder case?
The Otaki Police Department glanced at Hattori Heiji, his expression became solemn, and he immediately turned to ask the clerk: "Which room does the customer you mentioned usually stay in?"
The landlady got the chance to shirk the blame, so she did her best: "Follow me, over here!"
…
The group went to the guest room where the guests usually stayed, but could not see anyone.
They searched several other rooms and every corner of the courtyard where someone could hide, but still found nothing.
"It's weird, the luggage is still in the room." Otaki Police Department scratched his head, "Did he hide in the mountains after hearing the noise? Fortunately, I left someone to check outside just now. It would be great if I could find him."
“Is the luggage still in the room?”
Next to him, Hattori Heiji muttered these words, rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but look down at Conan.
Conan happened to be looking up at him, and the two of them looked at each other. The brainwaves of the criminal gangster connected with each other, and he instantly understood what the other person was thinking.
They nodded slightly, moved their bodies, and tiptoed towards the guest's room.
——In addition to the murder case in front of him, the sniper rifle discovered by Hattori Heiji undoubtedly attracted the attention of the two high school detectives.
"Do you think this sniper rifle belongs to that organization?"
Speaking of "the inexplicable extra gun at the crime scene", one has to think of a shotgun and two pistols that appeared in the previous three cases, plus the gloomy man "Mr. Yamaguchi" who knew vodka.
Although there was no evidence, based on the number and types of guns, and the relationship between the gloomy man and vodka, the two famous detectives were able to conclude that these three guns were probably belonging to "Mr. Yamaguchi".
"Tell me, based on previous experiences, could the customer in the cafe be him?"
Hattori Heiji stopped at the door of the room that the landlady had pointed out just now, feeling a little annoyed: "Actually, when I came here, I saw a person sitting in the corner, but that person's back was facing us, and the light in the store was not very good. I
I thought this was just an ordinary tour, so I didn’t take a closer look. If I had known it..."
He felt annoyed, and so did Conan. Fortunately, now, they still have a chance to make amends.
Conan opened the sliding door in front of him with a bang, entered the room and went straight to the guest's bag, intending to look for his ID.
Hattori Heiji chased after him, imitating Jiangxia: "Conan, don't run around!"
Conan almost stumbled over this guy's dry tone. He stood firm and glanced at Hattori Heiji faintly: "Can you show off your acting skills a little bit?"
Hattori Heiji is still immersed in the joy of using new tools. Thinking about how he was helpless when he followed the police investigation, and then look at the happy rummaging now...
He looked at the first-year tool man in front of him eagerly and said happily: "Don't tell me, Jiang Xia's method is really useful - why don't you transfer to Osaka. If we work together to solve the case, we will definitely catch up with Jiang Xia and get the
Return to the title of the strongest high school detective!"
"What do you mean by taking it back? You said it as if you were the strongest high school detective." Conan ignored this Osaka friend who always wanted to come out, and he would not accept the other party's nonsensical proposal to transfer to another school.
Check out the correct version one by one!
He came to the luggage, observed it for a moment, and quickly pulled out a driver's license.
After seeing the photo above clearly, he showed a regretful look: "Ogura Chizo is a person I have never seen before. But..."
He looked at the driver's license and frowned in confusion: "This person's address is Tokyo, why did he come to a coffee shop in Osaka that cannot be reserved? - A few of us happened to be in Osaka, so we came as soon as we came, but for this little guy
For Kura Chizo, there is no need for him to risk being refused reception and travel so far just to come to this store."
Hattori Heiji also felt something was wrong and touched his chin: "Those clerks said he might know the store manager."
Conan: "If it's a visit to relatives, he's been here for too long. Doesn't he usually have to work? Besides, I always feel that his address looks a bit familiar..."
He thought hard for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed through his mind: "By the way! When I passed by here before, I saw many police cars surrounding it. I eavesdropped on Officer Takagi's conversation and found that they seemed to be arresting a small drug dealer.
It's a pity that I got there a step too late and was run away by that person."
"Drug dealer?" Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up and he slapped his palm: "That's it! Then everything makes sense.
"This Ogura Chizo should be the drug dealer that the Tokyo police wanted to arrest. When he found out that his identity was exposed, he hurriedly fled to Osaka and hid with the store manager.
"At noon, he suddenly noticed that there were many customers in the store. As a fugitive, he didn't want to interact with people, so he temporarily hid in the mountains. This is why his luggage was still in the room. In other words, he
Now that he is missing, he may have been alerted by gunshots and the police and ran away in a hurry."
Conan also wanted to understand a lot of things: "The shop owner must know him, and it's not an ordinary acquaintance. No wonder this shop opened in such a corner, but it has not closed down yet. And it was not easy to become famous a while ago by some strange combination of circumstances.
, but the store manager has no intention of taking advantage of the trend to expand the cafe, and instead sells the store in a hurry..."
"You have to tell the Otaki Police Department quickly and intensify the search for him!"
After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and frowned: "But this guy didn't even bring his wallet. There's no reason to bring a sniper rifle into the mountains - the owner of that sniper rifle is probably someone else."
