Stay away from Conan.

"Hmm... so..."

Facing the reality in front of him, Otaki Goro's brows have already twisted into a "Chuan" character, realizing that the development of the matter has exceeded expectations, and Numabuchi Kiichiro who thought he could be captured directly, will now To escape without knowing where to go, this can't help but make people feel scared——

This serial murderer, who was originally a cruel serial murderer, was imprisoned here by Yusuke Sakata for so long. He would have escaped. With his personality, no one can guarantee whether he will commit another brutal murder. .

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to find a way to find out where Kiichiro Numabuchi fled.

Thinking of this, Otaki Goro subconsciously took out his mobile phone, ready to call for additional staff——

"No! It must be reported to the higher authorities, and we will continue to ask additional personnel to launch a city-wide search! We must not let this insane murderer wander outside again!"

Having said that, Goro Otaki started to climb down from the ceiling, dialed the phone, and started contacting the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.

At the same time, Takato and Conan, after Otaki Goro went down, immediately climbed to the ceiling, looked at the objects in front of them, regarding the escape of Numabuchi Kiichiro who was originally locked here, Hattori Heiji, Takato, Conan and the others , all nodded in affirmation——

"This is troublesome. I was escaped by such a vicious serial murderer. If I don't catch him soon..."

Hattori Heiji said so, looking at the clues in front of him, he couldn't help thinking about how to find him——

"However, he just broke the iron chain at the other end of the handcuffs that locked his hand. In other words, the handcuffs are still handcuffed to his hand? In this case, it is easy to walk outside while wearing handcuffs. He will be discovered, so he should first find a way to remove the handcuffs, so where will he go... eh? What are you looking at?"

And at this time, just as Hattori Heiji was thinking about the fact that Koichiro Numabuchi should have escaped without breaking the handcuffs, when he began to think about what the other party would do next because of the handcuffs, he noticed Takato and Conan who would come up. Shi Zheng focused his attention on the pile of empty lunch boxes on the ground, so he couldn't help asking curiously——

"The sale time of these lunch boxes..."

Mumbling, Conan carefully looked at the labels on the lunch boxes bought from the convenience store, and couldn't help thinking.

"The latest date is also the lunch box purchased three days ago, and the shelf life is until today, that is to say, the last time that police officer Sakata came to bring food to Numabuchi Kiichiro was three days ago, and……"

Similarly, Gao Yuan seemed to notice the same thing as Conan, so he followed Conan's words and began to analyze.

"And the amount of box lunches is too small, even if you count the packaging of the box lunch that was burned outside, that is, three days ago, when Officer Sakata came to deliver food to Numabuchi Kiichiro, Numabuchi Kiichiro ate it One of the lunch boxes was lost, so the remaining lunch boxes, as of today, the amount of these box lunches is not enough for Kiichiro Numabuchi to eat one meal a day! In addition, there is less water..."

Seriously, Conan analyzed.

"Officer Sakata committed the crime for the first time half a month ago, so he must have met Kiichiro Numabuchi earlier than that, that is to say, Kiichiro Numabuchi has been imprisoned here for at least half a month. Time. If you look at the amount of food prepared by Police Officer Sakata for Kiichiro Numabuchi in the past three days, I am afraid that Kiichiro Numabuchi has not eaten at all in the past half month, and has been thirsty and hungry all the time. ..."

Gao Yuan continued.

In this regard, after hearing the conversation between the two, Hattori Heiji glanced at the broken chain again, and suddenly said:

"I understand! Officer Sakata has been keeping Kiichiro Numabuchi hungry, so although Kiichiro Numabuchi has been trapped here for at least half a month, until three days ago, he failed to break the chain and escape .And breaking the iron chain is a very labor-intensive thing, and it takes a long time. It’s okay if you’re hungry all the time, but if you don’t even have enough water..."

"Officer Sakata came here three days ago to deliver food to Kiichiro Numabuchi for the last time. He dared to keep him so at ease and trapped him here with chains and handcuffs, which means that during the period three days ago, Kiichiro Numabuchi Ichiro has been in a state of hunger and thirst just as Officer Sakata arranged, without any threats at all..."

Conan thought:

"However, in the last three days, Kiichiro Numabuchi broke the chain and escaped."

Conan's expression became extremely serious.

"In the case of being hungry and thirsty all the time, even if he doesn't save at all, and eats all the food and water at once, he can't recover his strength quickly. He still needs to rest, but once he wastes time, he will die again soon." hungry……"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help thinking——

"But what if there's enough water?"

Suddenly, Gao Yuan raised his head, looked at the roof of the abandoned cabin, and asked:

"Has it rained in this area in the past three days?"

"rain?"

Immediately, as soon as this remark came out, Conan and Hattori Heiji were taken aback, and then suddenly said:
"I understand! As long as there is enough rainwater to provide him with enough water, he can rely on drinking water to persist after a one-time meal and rest! In this case, the time for him to escape here should be during these three days. One day after the rain!"

Saying that, Takato, Hattori Heiji, and Conan took out their mobile phones at the same time and began to search for the weather forecast here——

"Last night to this morning?"

Seeing the results, all three of them were shocked, and then said in unison:
"He can't run far!"

Saying that, the three of them climbed down from the ceiling together, and told Otaki Goro about the analysis just now.

Immediately, Otaki Goro realized something, and began to order the rest of the police officers to start searching the surrounding forest of the Meiji Forest Minoh National Park, centering on this cabin near the Minoh Waterfall.

In this way, regarding the current situation, Gao Yuan and the others couldn't help but look dignified as the police began to search the forest here. Among them, Hattori Heiji said:
"However, even if we know that the time when he escaped may not be long now, but in such a forest with overgrown trees and lush grass, it is a bit difficult to find that fellow Numabuchi Kiichiro..."

In this regard, Conan also nodded and said:
"Indeed, if it's such an aimless search, the place is so big, he really wants to hide..."

"Officer Otaki! We found something!"

However, before the police officers who went out to search far away, just after walking a certain distance, near a dense grass, a group of people shouted directly at Otaki Goro.

Immediately, not only Otaki Goro, but also Gao Yuan and others ran up immediately.

I saw that at this moment, in the grass, there was a car parked——

"What did you find?"

Seriously, Otaki Goro asked quickly.

"We found this car covered by bushes. Judging from the license plate number, it was the car that Kiichiro Numabuchi killed and robbed a victim before! But there was no one in the car."

One of the officers replied.

"After he escaped from the wooden house, didn't he choose to drive away?"

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji was puzzled.

"He shouldn't be able to pry the car, and then directly connect the circuit to start it. That's why he chose to abandon the car and run away. Sakata wouldn't have left the car keys with him."

In this regard, Otaki Goro said so.

"No, he should have tried to pry the car! But he gave up..."

However, Gao Yuan walked around the car, carefully looked at the traces on the car body, and suddenly made such a judgment——

"He's close by!"

As he said that, Gao Yuan seemed to feel something, and looked up at the tree beside him.

I saw, hidden on the leafy branches of the thickest and tallest tree, a figure was quietly hiding in it——

"Kiichiro Numabuchi!" (End of this chapter)
