Chapter 131 The Case Begins

At the same time, at Makino's house.

Shortly after watching the news, Makino's cell phone rang.

After taking a look at the caller's name, Makino picked up the phone.

Hattori Heizo's low and serious voice came from the phone:
——"Makino, you saw the news just now, right? Judging from the way the victim died and the Tengu painting at the scene, the criminal of that case has indeed resurfaced! I can't return to Osaka for the time being, but I have told Toyama to prepare to go back..."

After hanging up the phone, Makino got up and walked out of the house, preparing to meet with Superintendent Toyama and return to Osaka with him.

Judging from the criminal's previous experience, now that he has returned to the underworld, he is bound to commit a large number of crimes in a short period of time.

This is also the important reason why Hattori Heizo's tone was a little hurried.

The Osaka Prefectural Police failed to arrest the criminal eight years ago, resulting in the criminal still being at large to this day.

If they fail to catch the criminal quickly this time, once the fact that Police Inspector Nakamura had a deal with the criminal is exposed, the situation of the Osaka Prefectural Police will undoubtedly become extremely difficult.

By then, let alone catching the criminals, just dealing with the media and the public will be enough for them.

……

An hour later, at Rice Flower Station.

In addition to Chief Inspector Toyama, Kogoro Mori and others also appeared in Makino's sight.

After seeing Makino, Hattori Heiji and Conan subconsciously raised the corners of their mouths.

Humph……

Although they are very sleepy now, it is all worth it!
Before Officer Makino knew the details of the case, they had already discussed several possible clues and investigation directions.

Compared to Officer Makino, they are undoubtedly several steps ahead!

This time, it is absolutely impossible for the previous situation of "being kept in the dark" to happen again!

Maybe by the time Officer Makino arrives in Osaka and learns the details of the case, they will have already caught the criminal~
Thinking of this, the curves of Conan and Hattori Heiji's mouths became a little bigger.

Xiaolan, who was standing by, couldn't help but frowned when she saw the smiles on their faces: "Conan, Hattori, what's wrong with you two?"

"Ah? Ah! It's okay, it's okay..." The two of them quickly put away the smiles on their faces and looked at Makino with eyes full of fighting spirit.

Although Makino had noticed the strange smiles on the two men's faces, he had no intention of paying any attention to them.

Judging from the personalities and emotional intelligence of these two people, perhaps only things related to the case could make them laugh so strangely.

Even without asking, Makino could roughly guess that these two people had probably obtained some case intelligence that he didn't know about.

After a brief greeting with Chief Inspector Toyama and his men, everyone boarded the train and headed for Osaka.

A few hours later.

Makino and his companions followed Chief Inspector Toyama into the Criminal Investigation Division of the First Investigation Section of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.

At this moment, the search class was in a state of chaos.

After seeing Detective Chief Toyama, Inspector Otaki, who had just finished a phone call, quickly stood up and walked forward.

Chief Inspector Yuanshan asked directly: "What is the current situation? Have you found any clues?"

Inspector Otaki shook his head nervously. "No... Just like eight years ago, the criminal was very cautious. He avoided places with surveillance cameras and did not leave any evidence at the scene."

Hearing this, Inspector Yuanshan sighed, then turned to look at Makino and said, "Otaki, you should still remember this Inspector Makino, right? He came here specifically to help us investigate this case. You are responsible for assisting him!"

"Yes! Makino...Inspector Masaru?!" Inspector Otaki was about to nod when he noticed the "details" in Minister Toyama's words.

His eyes widened instantly and he looked at Makino.

It hasn't been long since we last met, and Superintendent Makino has been promoted to Senior Superintendent?! This promotion speed is too...

The next moment, after noticing his own impoliteness, Inspector Otaki quickly bowed his head and said, "I'm so sorry! Officer Makino, if you want to know anything, just ask at any time!"

Makino didn't hesitate and nodded, "Can you let me see the case files from eight years ago? And the files of the case that just happened today?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Otaki hurried back to his office and handed several documents on the table to Makino.

At this time, Inspector Otaki took a look at the messy environment, and then looked at Hattori Heiji and others who should not be here, and said, "Minister Toyama, Inspector Makino, there is an empty meeting room. Why don't we go there? It's quieter there."

Makino and Inspector Toyama looked at each other and nodded.

Not long after, Makino sat on a chair in the conference room and carefully looked through the case files.

Seeing Makino carefully looking through the case materials from eight years ago, Conan and Hattori Heiji smiled at each other and walked out of the meeting room.

Outside the conference room.

Conan took a closer look and said, "Although we are ahead now, this is only temporary. We must not be careless before we catch the criminal! Hattori, do you know where the home of Inspector Nakamura is?"

"Of course! I have already asked in advance. How about we go now?" Hattori Heiji nodded.

"it is good!"

……

Half an hour later, in the conference room.

Makino had finished reading the information about the cases that happened that year and today, and closed his eyes to think.

Kogoro Mori, standing by, was looking through the information from eight years ago with a serious expression.

Seeing that Makino finished reading all the information so quickly, Inspector Otaki was a little surprised.

Chief Inspector Yuanshan looked curiously at Makino, who was thinking with his eyes closed, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

A few years ago, when "Inspector Makino" had just become famous, he and Hattori Heizo had investigated Makino in detail.

"The Nergigante of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Dragon of Investigation Division 1, the Star of Wisdom of the Metropolitan Police Department..."

You know, whether in Osaka or Tokyo, the media have always had a bad relationship with the police.

Forget about praising them, it is enough if the media do not satirize them in their reports.

This seems to be the first time in recent years that the media has praised a police officer so much.

And not only was Inspector Makino not ridiculed by the media, he even made them say these "words of praise"!
As the investigation deepened, they felt more and more that Inspector Makino was no ordinary person.

Later, Hattori Heizo learned about Makino's kendo level from his old kendo friend, Inspector Samezaki.

However, they knew very well that the reason why Inspector Makino was famous was not because of his force, but because of his outrageous speed and efficiency in solving cases.

According to Superintendent Hakuba, Officer Makino is particularly good at solving various serial murder cases.

This is also the reason why Hattori Heizo asked Makino for help this time.

……

A few minutes later, several people in the conference room found that Makino had opened his eyes and seemed to have understood something.

Under everyone's curious gaze, Makino said, "This criminal is different from ordinary serial killers. The targets he chooses do not have fixed characteristics. Moreover, he kills people not only to satisfy his desire to kill, but also to gain a sense of recognition and power.

He left a fixed picture of Tengu at the scene to show the police and the public his "achievements and power." He asked for peace with Officer Nakamura not only to escape the pursuit, but also to prove that he had the ability to manipulate the police at will.
