"Hey? What!? Takagi's gone missing!?"

"Yes, it was just nearby a moment ago, but it suddenly disappeared when I turned around."

Shiratori was also quite troubled: "I can't get through to him on the phone now, and his walkie-talkie isn't working either. I've already called headquarters to retrieve the surveillance footage."

"Then, I thought you must have investigated the area as well, so I called to see if you could drive over and check it out."

""

Sato fell silent.

She looked at the restaurant and the steering wheel in front of her, seemingly caught in some kind of struggle.

Finally, Sato closed the car door and drove away.

It seems that in the end, Takagi's life safety prevailed over the present.

In response, Cheng Shi comforted him, saying, "Don't worry about not having enough time, Officer Sato."

"If this Mr. Kano is running a genuine Italian restaurant, then he must have been to Italy."

"If we calculate based on the timeline, during the period when he returned, the Italian-Japanese air travel sector encountered a typhoon."

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako's eyes lit up, and she excitedly interrupted Cheng Shi.

"But the plane was actually landing after midnight, which means the statute of limitations for the Chou Si Lang case was actually set to expire tomorrow!"

“That’s right,” Cheng Shi affirmed.

"In that case!" Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Then let's set off!"

Takagi! I'm going to beat you up first!

"But how did you know when he would be back?"

Cheng Shi gave her a mysterious smile: "Private technology, understand?"

Chapter 356 Catapult Start

"Om-"

The Mazda RX-7 was speeding down the street.

No one answered Officer Shiratori's question just now.

So he didn't know that Officer Sato had actually been gone for a while.

Similarly, the investigation did not find the location that Officer Shiratori had anticipated.

So, now that Sato had received comfort from Seishi and was also worried about Takagi's safety, he immediately floored the accelerator.

Cheng Shi sat in the front seat, expressionless, and held Conan still.

Beneath their feet, shadows and snowflakes began to appear and connect together.

So, in this Mazda that was driving at the city's speed limit, besides the driver, the two high school students were the most emotionally stable.

Cheng Shi even offered a good suggestion when he saw Officer Sato constantly fiddling with the steering wheel to dodge.

"Don't you have a police light in your car? You mean one of those portable ones."

"Oh right!" After being reminded, Sato realized, "I actually do have this."

After saying that, Officer Sato reached out and pressed a button on the central control area.

Then, the familiar sound of a police siren rang out from the roof of the car.

Then, the vehicles that Officer Sato had to actively avoid moved aside automatically.

Seeing this, Naruto and Yukinoshita couldn't help but exclaim at the same time, "How careless do you have to be to forget something so useful (important)!"

"Nonsense!" Sato felt a little embarrassed listening to their complaints: "You two should mind your own business when it comes to adult matters."

Is it really appropriate for a police officer to say that?

But obviously, it's impossible to continue discussing whether it's appropriate or not now.

After all, the other party was still driving, and it wouldn't be good if they got angry.

Soon, they arrived at the area where Takagi had been attacked.

That is, Shinagawa Ward.

The sound of sirens could be heard everywhere.

It seems the support Officer Shiratori mentioned has arrived.

At that moment, Sato, who was driving, suddenly spoke up.

"Cheng Shi, do you have a general direction for the search?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi was taken aback: "Me?"

"Yes, you heard what was being said on the walkie-talkie on the way here, didn't you?"

Miwako Sato said, "Given the way you seemed to be thinking just now, I wanted to ask if you have any general directions you could recommend."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi wanted to explain that he hadn't been thinking just now.

But since I couldn't think of an excuse right away, I just casually recommended a place.

"Let's go check out the area near the station first, and try to go to areas with fewer people and darker places."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Sato immediately headed in that direction.

The police seem to have an unusually high level of trust in the Mori family.

Cheng Shi then turned to Conan and the others: "So? Did you find anything?"

Conan and the others were also using their phones and navigation maps to study the information.

Upon hearing Cheng Shi's question, they also looked up.

“We are currently looking at the locations where he set fires, but we haven’t seen any pattern yet.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi glanced back at the phones in their hands and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Tsk, times have changed, even this little thing has changed.

No wonder.

"Don't always rely on your phone. Check if you have a paper map, or zoom out and take a screenshot of the area, and then check if there is any connection between those arson sites."

After saying that, Cheng Shi turned around to look at the scenery.

Nearby, Officer Sato pulled a paper map from the overhead panel and handed it to the back.

Then they sped up again towards Shinagawa Station.

Soon, Officer Sato, who had arrived at the location, slowed down.

Then, Cheng Shi saw a pool of blood in the shadows.

Yes, a few hundred meters away.

So, just as they were about to get close, Cheng Shi shouted, "Stop the car!"

Miwako Sato immediately slammed on the brakes.

In the back seat, a few kids who hadn't realized what was happening slid forward before they were even properly seated.

The map I had just circled was coincidentally marked with a line.

"what happened?"

Cheng Shi squinted and looked to the right front: "There, there's a pool of blood and a drag mark."

Upon hearing this, Conan and Sato, who were sitting on Cheng Shi's lap, immediately got off the bus.

Upon arriving in the direction Cheng Shi had indicated, they indeed discovered some bloodstains and traces left by being dragged.

Looking at the small pool of blood on the ground, barely the size of a palm, Sato Miwako was momentarily lost in thought.

It really was attacked.

That idiot.

Then she thought of the body found near the fourth case.

Sato Miwako, fearing that Takagi would turn out like that, was immediately somewhat panicked.

Subconsciously, she looked at Cheng Shi.

Just as she was about to ask the boy who had repeatedly found clues, she heard the voices of several children coming from the other side of the car.

"Officer Sato! Brother Chengshi! We've found the arsonist's next location!"

Upon hearing this, the three people who got off the bus immediately turned around and looked over.

The three real children each gave a sentence of explanation.

"If we ignore the first two arson sites, Ikebukuro and Asakusa, and leave them untouched."

"Following the order of Tian Rui, Bei Ze, and Mi Hua, connect these three arson points in a '人' (human) shape."
