Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1018 The Third Incident

"So that's it. Mr. Zhizhi wants to investigate the case itself first?"

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Toyama Ginjirou couldn't help but nodded, as if he was very affirmative about this suggestion and said:

"However, after all, it's about what happened 20 years ago. It's already a bit difficult to find the clues just now. As for investigating the truth of the incident 20 years ago, I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

Saying so, Toyama Ginshiro expressed some helplessness, and then motioned to Otaki Goro next to him to bring a bunch of copies of the materials, handed them to Gao Yuan, and began to say:
"The incident 20 years ago was identified as an accident, and no detailed investigation was done. The students in the driving training class back then, except for the two dead people who were killed and Kiichiro Numabuchi who was fleeing, the only person we can contact right now is Soutaro Koji, a member of the prefectural council. But I want to talk to him about the incident 20 years ago..."

"Let's not mention that Councilor Xiangsi is notoriously loathe the police, and..."

Somewhat dignified, Otaki Goro couldn't help but follow Toyama Ginshiro's words.

As for this, Gao Yuan took the information handed over by Otaki Goro, and looked at the group photo of the driving training class 20 years ago when he graduated, Gao Yuan couldn't help but agree:

"Besides, if the incident 20 years ago really had other secrets, and if it was related to the students in the driving training class at that time, then it is obviously impossible for the township councilor, who was one of the students at that time, to tell the truth..."

"Yes."

Nodding his head, Toyama Ginshiro replied:

"Although we have dispatched police officers to visit that guy, it is obvious that they have been shut down. Without any evidence, the members of the government council really don't want to meet with our police, and there is really nothing we can do for a while. In addition, the other party is currently running for Congress. It is even more difficult to talk to him when he is asked by the police about things that may obviously have a negative impact on him."

"So what about the coach's family members? Can you find them?"

Crucially, Gao Yuan asked this question——

"not yet."

Shaking his head, Otaki Goro replied:
"Since the coach named Inaba Teji died in the incident 20 years ago, his family has also moved away from the original address not long after, and we have not found out exactly where he went..."

Then, just at this moment, Otaki Goro's cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, Otaki Goro followed Toyama Ginshiro and Takato with a little regret, and after seeing Toyama Ginshiro nodded, Otaki Goto went out to answer the phone.

Taking this opportunity, Gao Yuan briefly browsed through the rest of the materials, trying to see if everything was consistent with what he knew about the original work.

But before Gao Yuan could see anything, Otaki Goro, who had just gone out to answer the phone, came hurriedly from outside, and reported to Toyama Ginshiro:
"Boss, I just received a report from the Higashijiri Office that there is a third deceased! The deceased was also a student who participated in the Hyogo prefecture's overnight driving training class, and his name was Kazuto Noyasu! His death was also caused by being stabbed in the heart with a short knife first through the wallet placed on the heart."

"The third dead..."

Hearing Otaki Goro's words, Toyama Ginjiro's expression was a little dignified.

"And the incident this time is a little different. It is said that the body of the deceased was also smashed into the patrol car of the Higashijiri Bureau... At that time, Heiji and... and Ms. Ye were also present..."

A little worried, Otaki Goro said nervously.

"Huh? What's going on? No casualties!"

Hearing this, Toyama Ginshiro first asked about the casualties, and then seemed to feel a little strange. Before Otaki Goro answered, he couldn't help but continued:

"Didn't that kid go to receive Mr. Mori today? Why..."

As he spoke, Toyama Ginshiro seemed to realize something, thought for a while, and murmured:
"Higashijiri Bureau? It just happened to be the car that received Mr. Mori today?"

"Correct!"

Nodding his head, Otaki Goro immediately replied:
"However, there were no casualties..."

"That's weird..."

Regarding this, Toyama Ginjiro couldn't help thinking:

"In the first two incidents, the body was left at the scene, why this third time... the body still fell from the sky, and it happened to be such a coincidence that it hit the patrol car..."

——"So sharp..."

At this moment, Gao Yuan couldn't help admiring in his heart when he heard Yinshiro Toyama's words——

In the original work, the murderer used such an exaggerated method to make the body of the third deceased appear in front of Conan and others, in order to guide Hattori Heiji and others to intervene in the investigation, so as to facilitate following Hattori Heiji.After all, only in this way can the murderer get in touch with Goji Soutaro, a member of the prefectural council who could not have been in contact with him.

And Ginjiro Toyama can immediately realize the abnormality in the way the third corpse appears, which makes even Gao Yuan, who knows the plot of the original work, can't help but praise the other party's sensitivity in his heart.

Regarding this, Otaki Goro couldn't help saying:

"Boss, with Heiji's character, he should be involved in the investigation when he encounters such a situation... Otherwise, I'll go over now and take the clues we just got..."

"Need not."

Before Otaki Goro finished speaking, Toyama Ginshiro, who seemed to have already made up his mind, said affirmatively:
"Regarding the relationship between the deceased we investigated and the incident 20 years ago, don't spread it to the headquarters for the time being. If the boy wants to investigate, let him investigate it himself. As for the investigation of the third incident..."

"Police Chief Yuanshan, can you let me go there?"

At this time, Gao Yuan, who was listening to Toyama Ginshiro's instructions to Otaki Goro, suddenly asked.

In response, Toyama Ginshiro replied:

"What? Mr. Akechi wants to go to the scene and join Heiji and the others? Naturally..."

"Do not."

Shaking his head, Gao Yuan denied his idea of ​​meeting with Hattori Heiji and the others, but picked up the graduation photo of the co-ed driving training class 20 years ago, and said:
"There are now three dead people. Apart from Numabuchi Kiichiro and Councilor Koji Sotaro, there is only one person left alive! I think the police can quickly find out the identity and address of the remaining person, and then let me go there?"

In this regard, upon hearing Gao Yuan's proposal, Toyama Ginshiro couldn't help smiling slightly, as if a little surprised, but said with certainty:

"Of course it's fine."

Saying that, Toyama Ginshiro instructed Otaki Goro who was beside him, saying:
"Otaki, you will be in charge of Mr. Akechi's next itinerary. As for Mr. Akechi's request, you will do your best to meet it... And I have to report to Heizang next. This is the third incident that happened..."
