Chapter 176 The Wave Murder Case is Solved

Chapter 177: Solution to the Langhua Murder Case

Beep, beep. Beep, beep. . .

Sitting in Otaki's car, we drove all the way to Hattori's house, but on the way we heard Officer Otaki's cell phone ringing. We picked up the phone, and soon Otaki started shouting, and then turned to us and said that he was going to take a detour to a place. From Otaki's tone and the action of sounding the siren, it should be that he found some traces of criminals. After some inquiries from my father, we learned that Officer Otaki knew the location of Numabuchi Kiichiro's getaway car, so he didn't have time to stop the car and turned around and rushed to Minoh Mountain. Conan, who was sitting next to him, was already excited at this moment. Of course, he was happier than anyone else to catch the criminal. If we were not sitting in the car, but walking, Conan would have called a taxi and ran away first.

"Are you really that excited?" I looked at Conan, who was trembling with excitement, with a hint of ridicule.

"Of course." Conan said to me. "If we can find some clues in Numabuchi's car and find him, then this case can be solved perfectly."

"Calm down, Conan. Some things are not something you can do just by rushing in with passion." I taught Conan. "Numabuchi Kiichiro is a serial killer. If you rush in like this, what if he has a weapon? You will die without knowing what happened. That would be so unfair."

"Hey, hey..." Conan said with a half-mooned look. "Can you please stop cursing at others?"

"Whether you curse or not, I'm just reminding you. Don't risk your life for a momentary pleasure, and don't harm the people around you because of your own passion."

"Kaoru..." Conan suddenly calmed down and asked me. "Is this Numabuchi a member of the organization?"

"Huh?" Conan's words stunned me. Why would he think so?

"From what you just said, if this Numabuchi was an ordinary person, you probably wouldn't even bother to pay attention to me and let me investigate him, but this time you repeatedly told me to be careful. And your surprised expression when I mentioned him just now proves that you must have seen this person. Isn't that right?"

Conan's words left me speechless. Just by giving him a few more instructions, he was able to dig out so many things from my expression and words. Indeed, in front of my family and friends, I don't need to put on a poker face that makes it difficult for the world to detect the truth, but why do I feel so uncomfortable when Conan gets so many things out of my words?

"No, you're overthinking it." I closed my eyes and leaned back on the seat. "I'm just reminding you, don't lose your precious life because of your impulse, and don't hurt the people around you because of your impulse. There are too many forces in this world that you don't know about. This force will awaken because of your curiosity, and will also wipe you out because of your curiosity and impulse!"

"Ah." Conan said seriously. "Don't worry, I will do my best."

I opened one eye slightly and glanced at Conan's somewhat immature look. I closed my eyes again and smiled. Do what you can? Haha, tonight I will let you know how terrifying the darkest side of this world is!

Soon, Officer Otaki parked the car at the foot of the mountain. At the same time, Conan jumped out while no one was paying attention. I couldn't help but sigh as I watched Conan lower his footsteps and follow behind Otaki. This guy definitely has the potential to be a killer. He always goes unnoticed when he investigates the scene. Plus with his current height, it's very convenient for him to hide. How about I teach him some skills one day? Forget it. This detective's impulsive brain is already difficult to deal with. He won't be able to fly even if I teach him a few more tricks.

"Eh?! Where did Conan go?" Xiaolan finally realized it later and noticed that Conan jumped out of the car... No, he got off the car and disappeared.

"He went to the scene with Officer Otaki," I explained calmly.

"Oh no! That Numabuchi Kiichiro is a fugitive with a gun!" Heye's exclamation startled Xiaolan, who hurriedly got out of the car to look for Conan. I couldn't help but shake my head as I watched the two girls run out in the rain. I got out of the car and followed their footsteps.

We went around the mountain road and came to a wooden house on the mountain. We found the police officers and Conan who was searching everywhere. Conan was struggling to climb up a window to observe something. Then he stepped on the edge of the window and jumped onto the high beam. It seems that he found something, otherwise he would not have investigated on his own regardless of Otaki and Xiaolan's shouts. Click.

Sure enough, after some exploration, Conan found a barrier on the ceiling. After opening it, he saw the attic of the wooden house. Of course, Conan had to come down after investigating here, because he knew that if he entered rashly, he might get hurt. So, after Conan jumped down, Officer Otaki climbed up to the attic. With a flashlight, a thin figure suddenly appeared. It was indeed the escaped Numabuchi Kiichiro.

"Numabuchi Kiichiro! I'm arresting you for robbery and murder!" Otaki climbed up to the attic and took out the handcuffs, but found that Numabuchi Kiichiro had been handcuffed in the attic and could not move at all. He kept muttering to himself, "Give him food," and his voice was so loud that we could hear it downstairs. However, just as Numabuchi Kiichiro was taken down from the attic, an accident happened. The moment he went downstairs, Numabuchi Kiichiro saw us not far away. Suddenly, a trace of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. This murderous intent was not targeted. He just wanted to escape, but found that we were blocking the door, so he showed murderous intent. However, this trace of murderous intent was just captured by me. The next second, a murderous aura that was a hundred times stronger than this murderous aura instantly locked onto him. At the moment his body trembled, Numabuchi Kiichiro looked towards the source of the murderous aura, and what he saw was a pair of cold purple eyes. And this pair of eyes is something he will never forget in his entire life. The oppressive feeling as if he had seen the god of death instantly swept over his body and almost made him collapse.

"Yes. It's him! It's that devil! That devil!!!" Numabuchi Kiichiro began to shout in panic. "Save me... Help. Help!!! Let me out! Let me out!!!" Numabuchi, who had lost his mind, struggled frantically. Even when Otaki pressed him to the ground again, he kept shouting. Although the police officers on the scene had tied him to the ground, they still didn't know why Numabuchi, who had been quiet just now, suddenly went crazy. Xiaolan, Conan and Kazuha were also confused. Only I knew that Numabuchi lost his mind because of my murderous impact, because he recalled the past experiments and the fear when he was caught by me. However, this also indirectly proved that he could recognize my eyes from that murderous look. Although he couldn't reveal my affairs no matter what he said, keeping him would be a disaster after all. If there is a chance in the future, it is better to kill him. I can't expose me and Shiho because of him.

Soon, the collapsed Numa Yuan was taken away. Of course, their first stop was not the police station, but the hospital. More likely the psychiatric department.

"Hey, Xun. Did you notice that Numabuchi was wearing two pairs of handcuffs on his hands just now?" Conan didn't care why Numabuchi suddenly went crazy, but noticed the handcuffs on his hands.

"Why do you think he stayed in the attic for so long?" I asked. "He was definitely tied up there and couldn't move. In other words, he was imprisoned in the attic by someone, and because he was a fugitive, he couldn't ask for help."

"Then you said the person who imprisoned him..." Conan thought for a moment, but suddenly realized, "The one who imprisoned him, could it be?!" He took out a piece of paper with a photo from his pocket, checked it carefully, and ran out of the house with a look of astonishment. Although Xiaolan wanted to call Conan, it had no effect.

"Why is this kid always running around?" Dad was dissatisfied, but he still followed. Of course, we followed as well, but when we rushed to Officer Otaki, Otaki suddenly told us that the criminal this time has been confirmed to be Yusuke Sakata who was traveling with us. This news surprised us. Of course, I was very calm, because the good guys who always appear in the plot are often the criminals in the end, and I am no longer surprised by this. At the same time, Conan also asked Officer Otaki to send us to Hattori immediately. On the one hand, he personally wanted to arrest the criminal himself, and on the other hand, he also took Hattori's safety into consideration.

With the sirens sounded, Officer Otaki once again led us out, and this time the destination was the home of Councillor Sotaro Goji. However, when we arrived, the case had already been perfectly solved by Hattori. But as the price of his impulsiveness in solving the case this time, his left abdomen was shot by the bullet that Sakata had argued with. When carrying Hattori into the ambulance, Kazuha even shed tears for this.

"Heiji, Heiji! Hold on a little longer!" In the ambulance, Kazuha shook Hattori's body again and again, tears streaming down her face. Ran and Conan, who were sitting beside her, were also a little uneasy. Watching Kazuha's tears falling drop by drop, I frowned a little. I lifted the veil covering Hattori, opened his clothes and checked his injuries a little, only to find that this guy was not seriously injured at all. His long-term kendo training gave him strong muscles in his abdomen. The bullet only hit Hattori's muscles and did not hurt his internal organs at all.

Pulling down my life, I nodded slightly to Conan who looked anxious, indicating that Hattori was fine. Seeing my action, Conan also breathed a sigh of relief and was a little relieved. Then he said to me with a puzzled look. "Why do I feel that your presence is so low today?"

"Found it?" I smiled.

"Yeah, you didn't appear many times in the entire article."

"Yeah, because solving cases is too boring." I narrowed my eyes and said, "This chapter is about you and Hattori, and I will be the protagonist in the next chapter."

"What do you mean?" Conan asked puzzled.

"Drink more coffee tonight." I let out a long breath. "Because tonight, I will take you to see what you have always wanted to know. The darkness under the sun."

"...What?"
