Takagi Wataru's new discovery seems to further prove that the connection between the victim and the murderer occurred in the tropical paradise.
Even Sato was a little shaken in his heart, worried that it would be like Takagi's guess.
In this case, the police mole may get closer to the truth faster.
So Sato quietly sent this clue to Qin Zhibo's mobile phone via text message.
…
On the other side, Qin Zhibo was driving to Kanagawa Prefecture.
Judging from the points on the map, if the murderer planned to kill people here, he would probably choose Ayase City in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
I opened my phone and saw a text message from Sato.
The content of the text message was that the police had shifted the direction of investigation to Tropical Paradise, and Sato was worried that Takagi Wataru's reasoning was wrong.
In addition, Sato also told Qin Zhibo about the sudden flat tire of the car on the way to Hachioji.
Qin Zhibo immediately understood that this was probably the mole in the police who sent someone to prevent Sato and Takagi from going to the scene.
Since Scotch Whiskey came to confirm the situation in person, it means that the people responsible for the sniper were Chianti and Cohen.
Qin Zhibo also sent a text message back to Sato, saying that he had received it and that he was now trying to track down the murderer.
Logically speaking, the murder spot in Kanagawa Prefecture is closer and is most likely the destination chosen by the murderer.
But the possibility cannot be completely ruled out at that point in Tokyo.
To be on the safe side, Qin Zhibo called Conan again and asked him to take a look around Zhi Park.
At Dr. A Li's house, Conan is also anxiously waiting for news about Qin Zhibo.
When I heard the latest progress of the case from Qin Zhibo, I immediately became energetic.
"PhD!"
"Quickly drive me to Zhi Park!"
Dr. Ali also knew the importance of this case, so he immediately put on his coat and went out to drive out his Beetle.
It happened that Haiyuan Ai was visiting Chengshi Hospital at this time, so there was no need to explain anything to her.
Conan took his solar skateboard, got on Dr. Agasa's Beetle, and went straight to Shiba Park.
…
Half an hour later, Tokyo Tower was so close, yet it felt so far away.
At this time, it was already dusk and approaching evening. It was the evening rush hour after get off work, and the road was very congested.
Dr. A Li's Beetle was stuck in the middle of traffic, and it took him half a day to move forward a short distance.
This situation made Conan, who was in a hurry, very anxious.
Now every extra minute of delay will cause the victim to be killed by the murderer, and the clues to the tracing organization will also slip away.
In desperation, Conan jumped out of the car with his skateboard in hand, walked to the sidewalk alone and started skateboarding.
Although the current weather is not suitable for solar skateboards, Dr. Ali has upgraded the skateboard and now it can run for a period of time even without sunlight.
Relying on his superb skateboarding skills, Conan shuttled freely on the sidewalk, causing passers-by to scream in surprise. He was like a ghost skateboard boy like the wind.
In the traffic next to the sidewalk, a group of police cars had to wait patiently in the congested traffic.
"Eh? Is that Conan?"
The sharp-eyed Mu Mu caught a glimpse of the "Blue Phantom" on the roadside and asked doubtfully.
Shiratori, who was sitting in the driver's seat, took a closer look and murmured: "It seems like Conan is riding a skateboard, but it looks like he's in a hurry..."
"Did Conan already know that we were going to Tropical Paradise to investigate?"
According to the ideas provided by Takagi Wataru, the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation headquarters just held a meeting and believed that there are important clues hidden in Tropical Paradise.
Even an employee of Tropical Paradise was the murderer of the serial murder case.
Because only the staff of Tropical Park can get the detailed information of each visitor more easily.
In order to seize this hard-won clue, most people from the search headquarters were dispatched, including Manager Matsumoto who would not be dispatched except in emergencies.
At this time, Manager Matsumoto, who was sitting in the back seat, folded his arms, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at Conan who was riding a skateboard and disappeared on the sidewalk.
Conan, on the other hand, was all focused on observing the road and riding his skateboard, and did not notice the police car that was blocking the road just now.
Finally, he arrived at the main entrance of Zhi Park.
At this time, people playing in the park were coming out one after another, and the lampposts on both sides of the road in the park were also lit up one by one.
Conan rode his skateboard and patrolled back and forth along the stone path in the park, but he never found any suspicious persons.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the dark bushes on the roadside.
Conan immediately stopped his skateboard alertly and stood still to listen.
Although the sounds in the bushes were kept as low as possible, the female voice could still be heard saying "Yeah".
"Don't... um... hate it~"
"Don't be afraid, there won't be anyone else at this time..."
Conan stared at the bushes, his eyes widened, and the blush on his face became more and more obvious.
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.
bell--
Conan's face was shocked and he quickly pressed the answer button.
But at the same time, the men and women in the bushes also heard the noise outside, and were so frightened that they hurriedly stuck their heads out.
I saw a primary school student skating far away along the stone road on a skateboard.
Looking at the back of the elementary school student escaping quickly, the woman in the bush let out a sweet cry.
"What a pervert!"
"It's okay, don't worry about him, let's continue..."
"What to continue? I'm not in the mood anymore! Let's go!"
Conan, who was escaping from the "crime scene", glanced behind him and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the two people who had caused trouble were not chasing him.
He picked up the phone and continued patrolling while asking: "Qin, how are you doing over there?"
"I'm still in Ayase City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and I'm still trying to track it down. Have you found it there?"
"I'm in Zhi Park, and I haven't found it yet..."
The prisoner was not found, but a pair of men and women who were competing in the wild were found.
Conan's mention of the park gave Qin Zhibo a heads-up.
Every time the murderer commits a crime, he takes his target to a public place where people often hang out and kills him.
If this is the case, a park in Ayase City should also be possible.
"I guess where the prisoner may have gone..."
"No more talking."
After saying that, Qin Zhibo hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the city center.
Unlike Tokyo, Ayase City in Kanagawa Prefecture is not very big and has only two parks.
One is a citizen park and the other is a sports park.
Qin Zhibo drove to the midpoint between the two parks, then closed his eyes and activated the finding spell.
In Ayase City just now, although Qin Zhibo used the searching spell to search for the whereabouts of the painter Shindo Sumire, because Shindo Sumire's appearance is that kind of beauty with no obvious features, and the photo may be a bit old, Hikari Ayase City
There are reactions in three directions.
But if the target range is divided into two parks, everything becomes much easier.
Qin Zhibo closed his eyes, meditated for a while, and immediately determined the direction in his mind.
Among those three directions, one is clearly pointing towards the sports park.
Qin Zhibo drove there directly and arrived at the entrance of the sports park in less than 5 minutes.
This park is a fitness park themed around various skateboarding, roller skating and other sports. Once it's night, there aren't many people visiting the park.
Qin Zhibo parked his car at the entrance of the park and ran directly into the park.
There were dim street lights flashing on both sides of the road. Qin Zhibo followed this road until he reached the U-shaped pool in the center of the park.
Here, there are several skateboarding boys skateboarding under the street lights and sliding along the U-shaped pool.
Qin Zhibo immediately realized that the murderer could not commit murder here, so he closed his eyes and continued to cast the finding spell.
This time the direction points deeper into the park.
…
Wow.
When the long-haired beauty was released from the bag, the surroundings were dark, with only a figure in front of her looking at her fiercely.
"Um!"
"Um!"
The woman wanted to make a sound, but her mouth was blocked by a cloth and she couldn't speak.
The man glared at her and said almost through gritted teeth: "You are the second to last!"
"Go to hell to atone for the murder of my sister!"
As he spoke, the man took out a dagger from his back.
Seeing the sharp cold light raised high, the woman was so frightened that her face turned pale and her pupils dilated.
But just when the dagger was about to be swung down, the man's movements suddenly stopped.
The man's eyes were wide open, and the dagger stayed in mid-air, but could not fall down.
Because right now he remembered something more important than avenging his sister.
Question 1, did you lock the door when you went out this morning?
Question 2: Did you turn off the gas when you went out this morning?
Question 3: Is the child my own?
These three sudden questions stopped the man's thinking for an instant, and his brain concentrated on thinking about the answers to the three questions.
The next second, the man who was squatting and preparing to commit the crime was kicked several meters away, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Only then did the man come to his senses and found that he had been kicked down by a man in a brown trench coat.
hateful!
The man no longer cared about killing anyone at this time. He lost his weapon and could only turn around and run away.
Naturally, Qin Zhibo would not let go of the opportunity and chased after him from behind.
The woman who had just been saved was left with tears of excitement in her eyes, lying there blankly.
…
What's going on!
What's going on!
How can I be discovered?
While thinking about why he was exposed, the man gritted his teeth and ran towards another exit of the park.
Before determining the location of the crime, he had already surveyed all locations and knew that the second half of the park was still under construction and almost no one would come there at night.
But what happened to that person just now?
Could it be that the workers who were working on the construction during the day did not leave?
The man never imagined that someone had solved the secret code of the mahjong tiles that he was proud of, and used this as a clue to pursue him.
Just as he was about to run to the exit of the park, a figure suddenly rushed out of the bushes.
The man was so frightened that he stood still. Before he could react, a left hook hit the man's cheek from the side.
The originally panicked face was deformed by the fist, and saliva and mucus spurted out in the form of droplets, flying across the air.
With this punch, the man was knocked to the ground and passed out.
Qin Zhibo immediately squatted down, grabbed the man's collar, and confirmed the basic information above his head.
Kazuki Motogami, male, 37 years old, certified public accountant...
After Qin Zhibo glanced at the message, he started groping around the man's body.
In addition to the dagger that fell at the scene just now, he also had a wallet and a seven-tube mahjong tile in his arms.
Behind the mahjong tiles is the △ symbol, which is consistent with Qin Zhibo’s previous reasoning.
△ is the capital letter of the Greek letter δ, and also represents δ Ursa Major, one of the Big Dipper stars.
There is no doubt that he is the murderer of the serial murders.
The reason why △ was placed last was so that the police would finally realize that what he wrote was not English letters, but Greek letters.
However, Qin Zhibo did not find the belongings obtained by other victims on his body.
But now that the murderer has been caught, he has taken the absolute initiative.
Qin Zhibo first wrapped the person in a shroud and tied him in the bushes.
Wait until you drive your convertible to the exit of the park, then carry the person out and move them away.
…
By the time Qin Zhibo transferred people to Mihua Town, it was already nearly two hours later.
In the large bungalow of Kudo's house, Qin Zhibo chose a relatively empty room and transformed it into a simple temporary interrogation room.
After a while, Conan, who heard the news, also came over from Dr. Ali's house next door.
Conan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Qin Zhibo catching the murderer and bringing him back.
"How did you catch him?"
"Just catch it like that..."
Qin Zhibo didn't bother to explain the detailed process. As he spoke, he was about to remove the cloth from his mouth and start the interrogation directly.
Conan quickly stopped him and asked, "Where is Toru Amuro who lives here? Isn't he okay?"
"It doesn't matter. He has something to do and can't come back tonight. We can do whatever we want..."
Qin Zhibo waved his hand.
"But to be on the safe side, you can avoid the interrogation later, and I can interrogate him alone."
Conan thought about it, this prisoner would have to be sent to the police sooner or later.
If the police learn that they are also involved, it will inevitably arouse some suspicions about themselves.
After Conan left the room, Qin Zhibo put on his mask, took off his windbreaker, and untied the white cloth from Ben Shang and Shu's mouth.
Spray water on his face again, and the person gradually wakes up.
"...well..."
Kazuki Motogami gradually opened his eyes, and saw a human silhouette standing in the darkness in the backlight.
"You, who are you?"
The desk lamp shining directly on his face forced him to squint his eyes slightly, turn his head to one side and ask.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is you..."
"Jinno Shuhei, Kaga Shizuko, Okakura Masaaki, Kitajima Azusa, Caizu Kozo, Ryuzaki Nu, did you kill these six people?"
The voice on the other side was cold and uneventful, as if he was not facing a human being, but a ruthless interrogation machine.
Kazuki Motogami's eyebrows trembled, and just as he was about to subconsciously quibble, the other party continued to ask.
"And Sumire Shindou is also your target, right?"
"If you don't want to suffer, I suggest you take it seriously..."
