"After 5 pm on June 25 and 4 pm on July 2, did you go home directly? Do you have any other evidence?" Hattori Heiji stared at Akira Sakata and asked.

"Yes." Akira Sakata explained: "I live alone and don't have a girlfriend, so I occasionally meet with Mr. Toda next door for a drink. During those two nights, I happened to watch a football match with Mr. Toda. He should be able to prove it to me after seeing it at 2 o'clock in the morning."

No girlfriend! Nishimura Mitoko heard this and her eyes brightened. She had a good impression of Sakata Akira. She used to cover the other party's information in secret before, but the other party always answered very vaguely. This time he got a clear answer. Nishimura Mitoko couldn't help showing a little joy. .

Several people have a clear timeline and provided their own evidence. Then the police will need to verify whether what the five people said is true. During this time, a group of people can only wait in the lounge.

After about 10 minutes, Akira Sakata raised his hand and expressed that he wanted to solve the physiological problem. Otaki Goro arranged for a male policeman to take him to the bathroom.

However, fifteen minutes passed and he never got back. The police who happened to check that everyone was not present came over and said that Mr. Toda's phone number provided by Akira Sakata had been unable to get through, so he contacted the administrator of the apartment he lived in. The administrator said that the apartment was not called Toda at all. Residents.

Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan immediately realized that something was wrong, and the two rushed to the men's bathroom, only to find a policeman lying on the side of the toilet in the toilet cubicle.

"Damn it! That guy actually dared to attack the police!" Hattori Heiji hurriedly probed the neck of the fallen policeman, and he was relieved when he found that the other party was still alive.

At the same time, Edogawa Conan’s attention was attracted by the open window in the bathroom. He turned the cleaning bucket in the bathroom and stood on it. He saw the footprints on the window sill at a glance, and he shouted: "Hattori !"

Heiji Hattori immediately walked over when he heard the words. He glanced at the traces on the window sill, and then poked his head out of the window. Sure enough, he saw that there were crawling footprints on the white water pipes next to the window, and the bushes on the green belt below were again covered. He slammed the wall angrily at the traces of trampling: "Damn it! He escaped!"

"Hattori, he is really the murderer, right?" Edogawa Conan frowned.

Hattori Heiji scratched his head angrily: "Who else?! That guy must have thought that he was the eyewitness of the first case. He felt that no one would doubt him, so he never thought about forging alibi. So only I was able to lie and fool the police to verify, and then went to the bathroom and escaped during this period! Damn! It's hard to find the murderer!"

"Don't think so much. He didn't run far in 15 minutes. Now let Officer Otaki ask the police to intercept and search!" Edogawa Conan patted Hattori Heiji on the back.

So the two quickly ran back to the lounge and explained to Otaki Goro about Sakata Akira's escape.

"What?! Mr. Sakata is actually the murderer of [White Pink Lady]?!" The four people's expressions changed a lot, especially Mitsuko Nishimura. She stood up on the conference table and her eyes were full of horror.

She, she actually likes a murderer who is cruel and perverted!

Hattori Heiji ignored the opponent's Hanana, he grabbed Otaki Goro's shoulder and said eagerly: "Anyway, that's it, Akira Sakata hasn't run far, so he must arrange for the police to chase him down!"

Otaki Goro's expression also became serious. He quickly stood up and walked to the door of the lounge. As he walked, he said, "I will inform the Hattori Minister of this matter..."

"No need." Suddenly a serious and low voice came out of the door, and a middle-aged man with curly hair and majestic fox eyes walked in, followed by an equally serious man behind him.

"Dad?!"

"father?!"

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha shouted at the same time that the people here were Hattori Heizo's father and Toyama Kazuo's father Toyama Ginjiro.

Kogoro Mouri quickly stood up when he saw the visitor: "Minister Hattori has not been seen for a long time. This is the first time I have seen you since the last time in Taiko Castle."

Facing Kogoro Mori, Hattori Heizo's expression seldom eased: "Long time no see, Mori."

But soon he looked down at Otaki Goro again with a cold face: "Otaki, let the suspect run away, how did you become a policeman?"

"It's not Uncle Otaki's problem, but that guy is too cunning!" Hattori Heiji took a step forward: "He knew we found out that he was the murderer, so he attacked the policeman who took him to the bathroom and escaped from the window!"

"What? When you were a detective, when you encountered a case that couldn't be solved, you would only complain that the prisoner was too cunning, right?" Hattori Heizo looked at Hattori Heiji coldly.

"!" Hattori Heiji bit his lip and couldn't refute it.

At this time, two police officers detained a young man and walked in. Hattori Heiji was immediately attracted to his eyes. He widened his eyes and shouted, "Sakata Akira?!" Then he looked at Hattori Heizo: "Dad, what's the matter? What's the matter?!"

Without waiting for Hattori Heizo to answer, Toyama Ginjiro proactively explained: "The Minister and I just came back from Nagahama, and we just saw him from the parking lot crawling down the water pipe outside the building, so our subordinates caught him I came back for interrogation. Anyway, I will use this method to escape from the police building. I will definitely not be a good person, right?"

"...That's right." Hattori Heiji twitched his mouth.

Toyama Ginjiro glanced at Otaki Goro and continued: "Otaki sent a message today and said Heiji you and the Maori detective found the murderer of [White Powder Po], the minister wanted to come over to see the situation, he heard it when he arrived at the door. You and Otaki Goro are talking about the escape of the prisoner...Otaki, you know that the other party is suspicious, and you should be more cautious when the other party proposes to go to the bathroom. This time it was you who were negligent."

Otaki Goro shed cold sweat on his forehead, and he quickly bowed to apologize: "I'm really sorry!"

"So, he is the murderer of [White Pink Lady] you found?" Hattori Hiraizou calmly looked at Akira Sakata, who was being broken by the arms by the two policemen, without the excitement of catching the murderer at all. You must know that the entire Osaka police station was ordered to solve the case within three days, and today is the second day.

"Yeah!" At this point, Hattori Heiji couldn't help showing a proud expression. He pointed to Akira Sakata and said: "The evidence this guy said about his alibi on the night of June 25 and July 2 is false. He didn't drink with a neighbor named Dongtian at all, and even his apartment had no resident named Dongtian at all! He was lying!"

"I just lied because everyone had a clear certification, but I didn't. I told a lie because I was panicked... At best, I disrupted the investigation, but it doesn't mean I am the murderer." Akira Sakata, who has been twisting his arms, Suddenly, he coldly snorted: "Do you have any evidence?!"

"Why would you run away if you weren't the murderer?" Hattori Heiji frowned, and the other party made it clear that he was quibbling.

"I was only scared for a while. I was hot-headed and lied. I couldn't help running away because I was worried about being pursued by the police." Akira Sakata slyly said, "But it doesn't mean that I am a murderer. What's wrong? I'm in Osaka now. Are the police not paying attention to evidence when arresting people? Isn't it because they have been unable to catch the real murderer, so they want to arrest me, an innocent citizen, as a substitute for the dead?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Otaki Goro shouted.

"So, did you find the evidence Heiji?" Hattori Heizou cast his gaze to Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji clenched his fists: "We found that the anti-skid powder found on the scene of the deceased was an unsold product of the Nagahama Mountaineering Association, and only people from the Mountaineering Association could access it. And this powder is very delicate and easy to stand on clothes. Or on the shoes, as long as you investigate Akira Sakata’s residence, you will surely find evidence of his appearance at the murder scene!"

Sakata Akira's face darkened slightly.

Kogoro Mori looked at Hattori Heizo and then Hattori Heiji. He scratched his hair: "Hattori is actually right. Seeing this guy running away in a hurry, the alibi evidence is false. I didn't expect it to be so fast. If you are caught, there is a high probability that you have not cleaned up your clothes and shoes. Now if you search in the past, you might be able to find a murder weapon."

Seeing Sakata Akira's expression becoming even more ugly, everyone in the room knew that the other party must have been said. Hattori Hirazo said nothing, and directly asked Otaki Goro to apply for an investigation warrant to search the residence of Akira Sakata, and asked two police officers to send Akira Sakata to the interrogation room for interrogation.

Just as Akira Sakata was about to be escorted out of the lounge, the bearded man Yoshikawa's straight gaze fell on his blue jacket, a white light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly shouted: "I remember! I remember What was the blue thing that I saw at the Changbin Mountain crime scene that day! It was a tie! It was the tie on the sailor suit!"

Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan's eyes widened.

Nao Yoshikawa was still gesturing with his fingers, his face full of excitement: "It's a blue tie! It's on the wrist of the deceased!" He said, "I just looked up to find the murderer at the time, and only had time to look at the deceased. In fact, it was stamped in my mind at that time, but I never remembered it!"

Hattori Heizo, who has not been very calm, changed his face for the first time since entering the lounge. His squinted eyes opened and looked at Nao Yoshikawa seriously: "Are you sure it was found on the deceased in the first case?" The voice is very harsh.

Yoshikawa was taken aback, but still shuddered under the opponent's gaze, "Yes, yeah, I'm pretty sure. It was tied to the wrist of the deceased at the time... When I lowered my head, I already saw it. The captain...that is, Akira Sakata was covering the body with a jacket. I remember that he was wearing a similar blue jacket that day." At this point, he looked at Akira Sakata with some doubts: "Speaking of this, I actually can’t understand. Yes, Sakata, you obviously used a similar coat to cover the deceased. Why do you continue to wear similar clothes? Are you not afraid?"

Akira Sakata did not hum, and Hattori Heizo directly ordered, "Search him!"

Ginjiro Toyama put on the gloves he carried to search for Akira Sakata. The other party wanted to struggle but was pressed to death by two policemen. Soon Ginjiro Toyama found a blue tie from the inner pocket of his coat. .

Nao Yoshikawa immediately pointed to the tie in Toyama Ginjiro's hand and shouted, "That's it! This is the tie I saw at the time!"

Ginjiro Toyama flipped his tie and suddenly widened his eyes when he saw the pattern drawn in blood on it. He turned his head and looked at Hattori Heizo, his eyes revealed some kind of eagerness: "Hirazo!" Show the blood-stained pattern on the tie to the other party.

Hattori Pingzang tensed his face, and said in a short and powerful voice, "Go!" He turned sharply and left.

Hattori Heiji and Mouri Kogoro and the others didn’t figure out the situation. Hattori Heiji hurriedly shouted: "Dad! What's the matter?!" Why did his dad look so bad when he saw this tie? Does he know something he doesn't 'S information, does his dad already know who the murderer was in the first case?

"Dad! Have you found the murderer of the first skinning case? Are you going to catch him now? Dad and I will be with you!" Heiji Hattori was about to catch up with Edogawa Conan, but was caught by one. The hand stopped, it was Toyama Ginjiro.

"Heiji, this case is over, you don't need to participate in the next thing." Toyama Ginjiro said solemnly.

Hattori Heiji was not convinced: "Why?! We found the murderer of [White Pink Lady]? The first case was another murderer, right? Why didn't we let us go? Maybe that guy didn't just kill one person? Me and Gong... Uncle Maori and I can help!"

"In short, I will deal with the minister next time, so you can take the Maori detectives home with you, and take them to the famous scenic spots in Osaka in the past two days. I have worked hard for you these two days." Ginjiro Toyama said .

"Huh? What's this?!" Hattori Heiji couldn't accept the investigation, but he was thrown away when the investigation was about to end. The detective's pride and curiosity did not allow him to give up halfway!

"There is no reason. Anyway, you should hurry home." Toyama Ginjiro rarely glanced at Toyama and Ye with a serious look: "You are also with Ye. Staring at Heiji, he was made to mess around."

"Good dad!" Yuan Shan and Ye nodded quickly.

Ginjiro Toyama was about to leave like Hattori Heizo, when a police officer ran into the lounge quickly holding a thick envelope: "Mori detective, here is an anonymous letter designated for you. The blood stain painted a strange pattern."

Toyama Ginjiro's eyes fell on the dark red pattern of the white envelope, and he stopped.
