Chapter 124 Two requests
Not long after, with the sound of the train arriving at the station, Hattori Heizo and his group walked out of the station.

To Makino's surprise, Hattori Heiji also came.

After seeing Makino, Hattori Heiji quickly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile: "Officer Makino, long time no see~"

Ever since seeing Makino defeat Hattori Heizo with kendo, Hattori Heiji's attitude has become noticeably more enthusiastic.

After greeting Hattori Heiji, Hattori Heizo and others, Makino glanced at the smiling Hattori Heiji with a puzzled look.

Today is clearly not the weekend, but this kid is skipping classes again?

Moreover, since he could appear here with Hattori Heizo, it meant that his skipping classes seemed to have been tacitly approved by his father.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a high school student in the world of science.

At this moment, Hattori Heizo whispered something to the police officer beside him, then turned to look at Makino and said, "Officer Makino, let's get in the car first."

"Okay, please come this way." Makino led the few people to the reception car.

Makino knew clearly that the reason why Hattori Heizo wanted him to come to receive him was definitely to tell him something "important".

Sure enough, when Hattori Heiji was about to get in the car, Hattori Heizo grabbed his arm and said, "Heiji, you and Toyama go take the car next to you."

Hattori Heiji:"?"

Before Hattori Heiji could open his mouth to complain, he met Hattori Heizo's serious and cold gaze.

"Okay, okay, I get it..." Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes and walked aside with dissatisfaction.

He even went out of his way to get me out of the way. This abominable old fox...

It was not until he saw Hattori Heiji get on another car that Hattori Heizo turned to look at Makino and nodded, "Okay, let's go too."

After saying that, Hattori Heizo opened the passenger door and got in the car.

Seeing this, Makino nodded inwardly.

It seems that his previous guess was correct. Hattori Heizo really wanted to tell him something, and this matter was most likely related to the "police", otherwise he would not have specifically sent Hattori Heiji away.

……

A few minutes later.

It was not until the car was driving smoothly on the road that Hattori Heizo slowly spoke: "You should have known it by now, right? The clue that President Tanaoka mentioned has been broken, and the Renxiakai Wakato who might know the identity of the man in black is also dead."

Makino nodded and said, "Yeah, we saw it on the news before we left Osaka."

Hearing this, Hattori Heizo was silent for two seconds, as if hesitating whether to continue.

The next moment, he glanced at Makino who was driving, and continued, "After learning of his death, we immediately investigated and finally found some clues about the man in black, but..."

At this point, Hattori Heizo opened his eyes and said, “But the man in black had already jumped off the cliff in front of me and Toyama, and we only found his body at the bottom of the cliff.

Although we later examined his body, we did not find any clues. Apart from the black clothes and the pistol in his pocket, there was nothing valuable on that man. I suspect he had been prepared to be caught by us. I have sealed this matter off, and no one except Toyama and Inspector Ishida of the Public Security Department knows the details of this man. "

Hearing this, Makino nodded but said nothing.

Let’s not talk about the previous content for now. The latter sentence is obviously hinting that he should keep it secret.

After seeing that Makino had roughly understood the matter, Hattori Heizo lowered his voice and his tone became somewhat solemn:

"Only a few police officers knew that Yuanshan and I were going to arrest the man in black, but the man in black had obviously learned that we were going to arrest him. It seems that the Osaka Prefectural Police has long been corrupt...

Makino, my previous judgment may be wrong. The organization that the man in black belongs to may be even larger than I thought! Maybe not only ours, but also yours..."

Hattori Heizo didn't finish his words, but Makino already understood what he meant.

As expected of being one of the best people in the world, Hattori Heizo’s judgment on the winery is almost never wrong.

Makino knew that his guess was most likely correct. Judging from the winery's style and capabilities, they most likely had undercover agents in police stations everywhere.

Seeing that Makino didn't say anything, Hattori Heizo thought that what he had just said was difficult for Makino to accept and believe for a while.

The next moment, Hattori Heizo sighed softly: "Okay, please keep this matter confidential for the time being. Let's not talk about this. In fact, I specially invited you here this time because I want you to help with two things.

I have an old friend in Tokyo named Nagato Michizo, who was my senior in the Kendo Club. He suddenly asked me to help him investigate his home, saying that he had heard some strange noises recently.

But I have to attend a meeting these two days, so I really don't have time to help him deal with this matter. That's why I brought that kid Heiji with me, and I also asked Senior Nagato to invite the Mori detective recommended by Heiji."

Hearing this, Makino suddenly had a familiar feeling.

He had some impression of Nagato Michizo mentioned by Hattori Heizo, as if he had met him at a banquet a few years ago.

Not only that, he seemed to be somewhat familiar with "this whole thing"...

Hattori Heizo bowed his head slightly and pleaded: "Makino, this is my personal request. I hope you can help my senior to investigate..."

"To be honest, I seem to have seen this Nagato Michizo you mentioned. I remember he is the chairman of the Nagato Group, right? Don't worry, I will investigate it thoroughly." Makino nodded with a smile.

"Really? Thank you very much! I feel at ease with you here. I really can't be at ease if I only rely on that kid Heiji and that detective named Mori." Hattori Heizo thanked.

Makino asked, "You just said there were two things. What is the other thing?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heizo put away the smile on his face and looked out the window.

“The other incident is related to a case that happened in Osaka some time ago… No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say ‘many years ago’.

Eight years ago, when I was still the chief of police, a very serious serial murder case occurred in Osaka, where an unknown man killed more than a dozen people in two months. The identities, genders, ages and methods of death of the victims were all random, and their murder locations were also scattered all over the place.

We know that these cases were committed by the same criminal because he left a simple picture of a tengu in the victim's blood at the scene after committing the crime. And he sent us a letter for every five cases he committed.

It was filled with his wild words and words mocking the incompetence of our police. Strangely, after one day, he suddenly disappeared from our sight. Until now, he has not committed a crime again. "
