In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Page 448

The clues Xia Ye provided were initially somewhat far-fetched.

However, after observing him for a while, I found that he was too enthusiastic!

He was the one who brought up almost all the clues, as if he had prepared them in advance and was just waiting for Hattori to arrive so he could bring them out!

Soon, Heiji Hattori and Conan shook off Kogoro Mouri and got into a police car driven by Inspector Sakata, preparing to visit a woman connected to the case, hoping to get some clues out of her.

"Let me call that lady first!"

Officer Sakata, driving the car, held the steering wheel with one hand and took out his phone with the other, smiling as he said:

“We have already found Ms. Sumie Okazaki’s address and phone number based on the license plate number.”

"it is good!"

After finishing his call with the panicked Ms. Sumie Okazaki, Heiji Hattori belatedly exclaimed, "Officer Sakata, we've gone too far! Damn it, it's a one-way street ahead, we can't turn around, we're going to have to go on a huge detour!"

"what?"

Officer Sakata looked embarrassed, as if he had just noticed.

"What should I do?"

"Remember to come over quickly!"

Heiji Hattori and Conan exchanged a glance, then pushed open the car door and jumped out into the crowded traffic. This made Officer Sakata, whose plan was progressing smoothly, twitch at the corner of his eye. "I wanted you to get out, but did you have to be in such a hurry?"

Aren't you afraid of getting hit and killed?

Forget it, it's more important to execute the plan quickly.

Time is running out!

Officer Sakata turned the steering wheel and swerved into the alley next door. He quickly got out of the car and started making a phone call as he ran. "I'm the officer who called earlier. Your house is too dangerous right now. Go to the public restroom next door and wait for me!"

"Yes!"

The other side wouldn't suspect the police at all.

Soon after, I heard the sound of someone leaving the house on my phone.

Officer Sakata gave a cold smile.

As expected, being a police officer is very useful. The next step is to simply kill that woman to avenge my father!

Overjoyed, Officer Sakata was completely unaware.

Heiji Hattori and Conan, who thought they would rush to Sumie Okazaki's apartment after jumping out of the car, actually didn't go far.

The two of them were hiding behind a car parked on the side of the road across the street, watching Officer Sakata's actions intently!

"really!"

Conan said with a serious expression, "It's Officer Sakata. Natsume is right, he's a prime suspect!"

"How can this be?"

Hattori Heiji was still somewhat incredulous.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Conan reached out and grabbed Heiji Hattori's arm. "He's clearly going to kill Sumie Okazaki. Why don't we follow him and find out the truth?"

"That's right!"

Heiji Hattori is not actually incompetent:

"let's go!"

...

Officer Sakata arrived at the public restroom of Okazaki Sumie's apartment building, and sure enough, Okazaki Sumie was already waiting there.

He sighed in his heart.

The police officer's identity certainly inspires trust.

But I'm going to have to break the oath I took when I became a police officer!

If it weren't for this hatred, I might have taken Officer Xia Ye as my role model and strived to become a good policeman. Unfortunately, fate is cruel!

Officer Sakata looked at the terrified and uneasy Sumie Okazaki.

Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, he stretched a thin rope and tied it around her neck!

"stop!"

With that shout of "Stop!", Officer Sakata heard a loud whooshing sound. Before he could react, his body was sent flying like he'd been hit by a cannonball, slamming heavily against the edge of the toilet bowl. Luckily, the partition stopped him from becoming a latrine-cleaning boy.

Officer Sakata strained to look up.

Heiji Hattori and Conan walked in through the door.

Hattori Heiji untied the rope from Okazaki Sumie, then looked at Inspector Sakata with disappointment in his eyes:

"Officer Sakata, I never expected it to be you!"

"How do you know?"

Officer Sakata looked puzzled. "I don't think I gave anything obvious away, did I?"

"Haha~"

Conan started showing off: "Sorry, but actually you left quite a few flaws. First of all, you took us to that restaurant, and as the driver, you parked the car in the originally selected spot, so that the body that was already fixed on the rooftop could fall accurately onto the car's hood!"

"As for why you did something so provocative as to leave the body on the police car, it's because you had no other choice!"

Heiji Hattori continued Conan's line of thought:

“You’re just a junior detective at the Higashijiri Police Station. If the body were found elsewhere, this kind of serial murder case would definitely be taken over by the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. You can only get involved in the case as a person with a connection by designing it this way, so as to continue the next part of the plan!”

"Secondly, didn't you notice that your habit of adjusting the rearview mirror first after getting in the car is exactly the same as the two people you killed? Hattori and I were suspicious when we were watching the video!"

Conan's eyes sharpened as he said, "While this isn't enough to prove any connection between you and the two victims, it's sufficient as a point of suspicion!"

"and many more!"

At this moment, Okazaki Sumie, gradually regaining her senses, suddenly pointed at Officer Sakata and shouted, "Your surname is Sakata, so Instructor Sakata..."

"That was my father, that's right, the father who died in a car accident after you got him drunk and drained his brake fluid!"

Officer Sakata dropped his pretense, pulled a pistol from his pocket, and his eyes flashed coldly.

"I became a police officer to investigate this matter, but even if I find out the truth, it's useless. The statute of limitations for criminal cases is fifteen years, and that time has already passed. So, I have no choice but to take revenge myself!"

"Officer Sakata, don't rush—!"

"Bam—!"

Before Hattori Heiji could even begin his verbal sparring, Officer Sakata, the "villain," decisively opened fire. Under the stunned gazes of the two famous detectives, Okazaki Sumie, who had just narrowly escaped death, was pierced through the forehead by a bullet and fell straight to the ground in disbelief, dying instantly!

Sure enough, the villains acted quickly.

Even the protagonist's talk-no-jutsu can't keep up!

Chapter 350 Receptionist: So many people? Are we playing Impart?

Officer Sakata didn't hesitate at all.

Before Conan and Heiji Hattori could react, Sumie Okazaki was killed!

Okazaki Sumie, who had thought she was safe after seeing that Officer Sakata's identity as the murderer had been exposed, gradually lost the light in her eyes!

She died with her eyes wide open in disbelief!

"hateful!"

Heiji Hattori and Conan looked ashen-faced.

Previously, almost no criminals had ever killed people so brazenly in front of them.

Those prisoners, upon hearing their reasoning, would at least offer some explanation.

Instead of firing decisively like this, catching them off guard and giving them no chance to save people!

"hehe!"

Having avenged his great grudge, Officer Sakata had no more worries.

Numabuchi Kiichiro was locked in a small wooden cabin in the mountains.

Almost no one goes there.

So this enemy is doomed!

He slowly raised his pistol.

Officer Sakata is preparing to end his own life.

He was not a ruthless killer.

He once wanted to be a good policeman.

But now his hands are stained with blood, even if it's the blood of evil people, and he can never go back to the past!

"stop!"

Heiji Hattori and Conan rushed forward at the same time!

The death of Sumie Okazaki was already due to their negligence; if they were to let Inspector Sakata commit suicide out of guilt, they would have no face to call themselves famous detectives.

Let's just call him the Clumsy Detective!

Heiji Hattori grabbed the arm holding the gun, and Officer Sakata struggled desperately.

He was too ashamed to face his colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Department who were about to arrive, and wanted to end his life by committing suicide!

However, Heiji Hattori and Conan didn't think so. After all, it was a human life. Although they often acted rashly, they were actually quite decent. It was one thing if they didn't have time to stop it earlier, but if they could stop it now and let Officer Sakata die, they would regret it for the rest of their lives!

"Heiji, let me go!"

Hattori Heiji's kendo is decent, but in unarmed combat, he's nowhere near as good as Kazuha. Inspector Sakata almost broke free, however—

"Boom!—"

The gunshot startled all three of them!

Hattori Heiji's face twitched painfully, but he gritted his teeth and endured the gunshot wound as he tried to comfort him:

"Officer Sakata, put down your gun!"

Officer Sakata hesitated.

at this time--

Seeing that Heiji Hattori couldn't handle Conan, Conan raised his tranquilizer watch, and *poof*!

Officer Sakata collapsed limply to the ground!

Lying side by side with Sumie Okazaki's corpse in this not-so-pleasant-smelling public toilet, the scene suddenly became somewhat comical.

"Hattori, how are you?"

Conan put down his tranquilizer watch and asked with concern:

"You were shot in the leg?"

"It wasn't a gunshot wound, it was just a graze."

Heiji Hattori tried his best to answer casually, not wanting to appear weak in front of Conan!

Although he wasn't shot directly in the leg, the injury was still quite serious; the misfired bullet grazed his thigh, tearing away a piece of flesh.

It's starting to bleed now!

Just then, a noisy shouting sound of running footsteps came from outside the public restroom:

“There’s gunfire!”

"Attention alert!"

"Get the paramedics on board and prepare for rescue!"

"Section Chief Yuanshan, please don't—"

"Go and save people!"
