Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

It's better for me to be the one to use others than to be used by them.

Gu De quickly followed the crowd and, sure enough, saw Goji Sotaro's body lying on the ground.

A thin rope was wrapped around his neck, and a dagger with a driver's license attached was stuck in his chest.

In addition, photos of the previous victims were scattered haphazardly on the ground, seemingly as if they were being buried with the deceased.

Yusuke Sakata is examining the body.

Ginjiro Toyama's face turned ashen, and the smile that usually graced his face vanished completely.

"How could this happen...?"

"How did they do that?!"

Ginjiro Toyama frowned and muttered to himself.

Goro Otaki also squatted down beside the body. "Chief Detective Toyama, Soutaru Goji only died recently, his body is still warm!"

"Everyone, get out there immediately and find clues!"

"Otaki, you and Sakata stay here!"

Ginjiro Toyama clenched his fist and gave the order.

The Osaka Metropolitan Police Department is going to be incredibly embarrassed!

With so many police officers present, how could the person they were protecting be killed!

If this gets out, it will definitely cause a big problem.

"Is it possible that someone is an insider?"

Ginjiro Toyama suddenly asked.

Sakata Yusuke's hands kept moving, but he felt a sudden tension in his heart.

An insider?

Are they already suspecting me so quickly?

"No, we investigated before. All of Goji Sotaro's servants have been with him for many years."

"There is no possibility that an insider committed the crime."

Gu De glanced at Sakata Yusuke and said, "I remember that Goji Sotaro's previous secretary was Nagao Hidetoshi, right?"

"He left Goji Sotaro six years ago. Has Goji Sotaro been the same person as his secretary ever since?"

Goro Otaki nodded: "Yes, since then, Yoshiharu Horio has been Goji's secretary, for six years now..."

Goro Otaki paused for a moment after saying this, and then looked at Ginjiro Toyama standing to the side.

Hidetoshi Nagao also served as Goji Sotaro's secretary for a long time!

Ginjiro Toyama nodded. "It is indeed possible that it was a copycat crime. Sotaro Goji has been engaged in illegal activities, but we have never been able to obtain any evidence of it before."

“We only found out in the last two days that Hidetoshi Nagao and Kazuto Noyasu both received huge severance packages when they left their jobs, so there is a possibility.”

"When Goji Sotaro recently tried to arrange for someone to take the blame for him, he ran out of money to appease the person he was supposed to use because of long-term police surveillance. So the person he was supposed to use as a scapegoat was killed!"

"This possibility certainly exists!"

Upon hearing Ginjiro Toyama's words, Gu De smiled inwardly.

If this case becomes an unsolved mystery, these factors will indeed become the focus of the Osaka police's investigation.

What I did was simply to offer one possibility and let them fill in the blanks with their own imaginations!

Goro Otaki's eyes lit up as well.

But before he could say anything, Ginjiro Toyama shook his head at him.

"Heiji, Mr. Gu De, Mr. Mouri, I'm sorry."

"You'll need to leave this time."

Ginjiro Toyama shook his head apologetically as he looked at the two of them.

Hattori Heiji opened his mouth as if to say something, but Gu De pressed down on his shoulder.

"But, Brother Gu De..."

Gu De shook his head: "Heiji, go outside and help the other officers."

"They need us more than ever!"

Gu De knew that Toyama Ginjiro was going to report to Hattori Heizo, and that he didn't need to bother with them here.

Instead of doing that, why not find a place outside to sleep?

Watching Gu De and the other two leave, Toyama Ginjiro felt a pang of emotion.

No wonder our colleagues in Dongdu have such a close relationship with Mr. Gu De; he is truly a good friend of our police force!

Even if the culprit cannot be found, the idea provided by Gu De can still provide an explanation to the outside world!

"Brother Gu De, why did we come out?"

"Uncle Yinshilang wants to..."

Hattori Heiji was somewhat unconvinced.

What Gu De just said makes a lot of sense!

That's precisely why I should be there!

She is extremely unwilling to leave now.

"Yeah, why not let my famous detective Kogoro Mouri help?"

Kogoro Mouri was also somewhat dissatisfied.

However, when he thought of Ginjiro Toyama, who was the Superintendent General of Police in Osaka, he reluctantly shut up and went to the side to smoke in frustration.

"Heiji, if you want to be a detective in the future, you should be careful about your relationship with the police."

"Don't let your father's position as the head of the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department fool you; you'll inevitably have to go to other places."

"Minister Ginjiro Toyama is obviously going to discuss these matters with high-ranking police officials, so it's definitely not convenient for you to be there!"

Gu De pointed to the living room.

At this point, the police had taken control of all the staff here, and the place was probably empty for the time being.

"Okay, let's rest here for a while."

"Perhaps the forensic team will find something when they arrive later!"

Gu De sat comfortably on the sofa, seemingly deciding to wait and see how things went.

Three hours passed, and Sōtarō Gōji was dead, but the police found no clues.

Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mori eventually couldn't sit still any longer and continued to assist the police, but like 964 and 460, they still came up empty-handed.

After dark, a weary Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mori had no choice but to return to the Hattori residence with Gu De.

Shizuka Hattori prepared another large table of dishes.

I originally thought that Gu De wouldn't come back today, but I didn't expect that Goji Sotaro would actually die!

It looks like Goo De will be staying in Osaka for a few more days!

Seeing how tired Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro looked, Hattori Shizuka secretly felt a little pleased.

They're both so exhausted, does that mean I can do whatever I want tonight?

Upon hearing this idea, Hattori Shizuka's heart skipped a beat.

Why would I think that way?

Thank you all for your support!

Chapter 183 Heizo, I can't go back!

"Breaking news: Councilor Sotaro Goji has been confirmed dead in his residence in Osaka."

"The police have not yet released details, but according to insiders, the death of Sotaro Goji is related to the recent series of murders in Osaka Prefecture."

"At the same time, evidence of corruption and dereliction of duty by Goji Sotaro continues to be uncovered and released by the police."

The television was broadcasting news of the death of Goji Sotaro.

Gin looked at the photo of Goji Sotaro above and took a leisurely sip of his drink.

"Big brother, Kumail really gets things done cleanly and efficiently!"

Vodka watched the television with an expression of adoration.

Every time Boss Kumail receives a mission, he completes it quickly and without anyone noticing!

He's truly the organization's ace!

"Ah."

Gin nodded, then suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, any news about Bourbon and Vermouth lately?"

"what?"

Vodka didn't understand why his older brother suddenly asked about these two people.

However, he still honestly gave a report.

"There has been no news from Bourbon. Vermouth's side is certain that he has arrived in Japan, but there is no news about his specific whereabouts."

Gin nodded slightly. "Two disgusting mystical guys."

"Forget it, let's keep an eye on Miyano Akemi."

"Sherry hasn't appeared yet, so currently only the Miyano Akemi storyline is available."

"That guy Kumail, keeping Miyano Akemi was definitely the right decision!"

Vodka, hearing his older brother praising Kumel again, nodded in deep agreement.

If we had killed Miyano Akemi back then, we would have absolutely no clue about Sherry now!
