I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

"Is it possible that the deceased accidentally cut off Officer Sakata's car, causing Officer Sakata to harbor resentment and thus prepare to take revenge on the deceased?"

"Or perhaps the deceased lived very close to Officer Sakata, and the trees in the deceased's yard accidentally spread over to Officer Sakata's yard, which aroused Officer Sakata's murderous intent, leading him to choose this moment to commit the crime?"

Ran Mouri couldn't stand Kogoro Mouri's words anymore.

It sounds like complete fabrication!

How could there be such road rage and petty people in the world?

Even if such a person really existed, it would be impossible for them to pass all the exams and become a prefectural police officer at the Osaka Police Headquarters. Do they really think the Osaka Police Headquarters' assessments are just for show?

Goro Otaki was also rendered silent, and after a while, he finally managed to utter a few words.

"How about we go back to the Osaka Police Headquarters first?"

"We can talk about this at the police station. It's too much of a hassle to say it here."

He couldn't say exactly what it was hindering.

Anyway, it shouldn't be the reputation of the Osaka Police Headquarters.

Hattori Heiji shrugged at that moment and said casually.

"That's right, how could Mr. Sakata be the murderer?"

"I think we should check the relevant files first. You know, Mr. Sakata was waiting for us by the car from the beginning until we came out after our meal."

"The body was on the rooftop of this building; he couldn't have arranged all of this without our knowledge."

"Even if we calculate it according to the idea that everything was arranged a day in advance."

"The coffee shop owner on the second floor said that he received a call and went to the rooftop. After opening the door, he saw something fall from the rooftop, which was the body of the deceased."

“Mr. Sakata has been here from the beginning, and the coffee shop owner didn’t say that Mr. Sakata called him or asked for his phone number, so it doesn’t seem to be true. Let’s go back first.”

It seems that Hattori Heiji also has different ideas.

Kogoro Mouri then completely abandoned his reasoning and could only mutter to himself.

"But when I came out, I really saw Yusuke Sakata next to the car with his phone."

"Logically speaking, shouldn't the person who made the phone call from the crime scene to the suspect who created the new crime scene be the real murderer? Why isn't this behaving logically?"

The group got into the police car and headed towards the Osaka Police Headquarters.

Ran Mouri, sitting next to Kogoro Mouri, was used to her father's reasoning and simply muttered something to herself.

"Dad, next time you have such reasoning, it's probably better not to say it in front of others, right?"

"Although we haven't had much contact with Mr. Sakata, judging from his words and actions just now, he doesn't seem like a bad person who would do such a thing."

"How can you so easily suspect Mr. Sakata? There were probably a lot of people calling at the time, right?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was in the car, was also speechless.

If you ask whether there were many people making phone calls near the crime scene, then yes, there were.

Even if it's not 100, it's at least 80.

After all, Osaka Prefecture is one of the most international cities. It's impossible for it to be like a rural area where you can't even find people making phone calls on the street. That would be too strange.

Even Kogoro Mouri couldn't say whether it was more bizarre to not see anyone making phone calls outside or to see many people making phone calls outside.

Sonoko Suzuki, who was sitting next to Ran Mouri in the same police car, rested her hand on the window and looked out the window with her palm supporting her chin, as if she felt that this police car trip was a unique experience for her.

After all, under normal circumstances, no matter which police officer in Tokyo is with, it is impossible to take Sonoko Suzuki into the police car.

Even if it's not done through arrest or capture.

"I have to say, Hattori was absolutely right."

"The police car looks to be of really good quality, and it's quite comfortable to lie down in. If it could be used as a private car, it would be a good choice even just for a drive."

Sonoko Suzuki ignored the interaction between Ran Mouri and Kogoro Mouri next to her and said with a touch of emotion.

"I wonder if Ahn has arrived at the Osaka Police Headquarters yet."

Chapter 1174 Are you saying our lives are in danger?

Osaka Police Headquarters, lobby.

Chen En, who had been waiting for a long time, arrived at the Osaka Police Headquarters in a special vehicle sent by the Suzuki Group.

He glanced at the people outside the door and immediately noticed that the detective in charge of this heinous murder case was none other than Inspector Goro Otaki. A look of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.

Because he remembered that this episode seemed to be handled by the local police station, rather than by the Osaka Police Headquarters.

Was his memory of this episode wrong, or was Goro Otaki simply trying to avoid bothering two people at once, since he had already returned to the Osaka Police Headquarters to hand over official documents, so he decided to handle this matter at the Osaka Police Headquarters as well?

Chen En didn't know the specific reasons for this, but with Goro Otaki in charge of the police, he guessed that solving this case might be easier than solving it in the original storyline.

Although the current lineup is missing Conan, the famous detective from the Kanto region, compared to the original storyline.

However, Heiji Hattori and Conan share a certain degree of synchronized ecological niches. They usually arrive at their answers within minutes of each other. In fact, during their Kansai home turf, many of the highlight moments are focused on Heiji Hattori.

In this situation, Conan's presence or absence is not so important.

On the contrary, Goro Otaki, a detective from the Osaka Police Headquarters, might be able to drag Chief Detective Ginjiro Toyama into the mess as well. With two local crime-solving experts working together, plus Heizo Hattori who has already gone to Sotaro Goji's side, the situation becomes much more promising.

If Yusuke Sakata makes another move, he will most likely not escape.

However, just to be on the safe side, Chen En still planned to go with Hattori Heiji during his final investigation.

It was not because he intended to go against the principles he had previously established.

It's just that the scene where Sakata Yusuke was stopped by Hattori Heiji when he ultimately chose to commit suicide was too dangerous, and Hattori Heiji was injured because of it in the story. Whether the amulet he had could save his life is another matter.

Therefore, Chen En made this decision because he did not want Hattori Heiji to face mortal danger because of his neutrality.

However, Heiji Hattori had no idea what Chen En was thinking. When he entered the Osaka Police Headquarters, he reached out to greet Chen En. But when he got close to Chen En, he suddenly put his arm around Chen En's neck, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this going to be the same situation as what happened on American Island before?"

"The actual perpetrator who killed these people was committing revenge killings, and in a conventional sense, the type where there was a reasonable motive?"

Hearing this, Chen En naturally guessed what Hattori Heiji was thinking, but he didn't explain, he just said...

"Whatever you think it is, I won't get involved in this case."

"But I will at least make sure your lives are not in danger."

Hattori Heiji:?

Although he couldn't understand it, Chen En's words still greatly shocked him.

The way you're talking makes it sound like this investigation is going to be very dangerous.

How can we ensure our lives are not in danger?

Are you saying that if the investigation continues in this direction, in your opinion, we're likely in mortal danger? What's the killer's background? So skilled in combat, doesn't he know I'm a master swordsman?

Heiji Hattori pinched his chin, lost in thought.

The hand that had been around Chen En's neck unconsciously loosened, and Chen En pushed it aside.

At this moment, Chen En bypassed Hattori Heiji and asked Suzuki Sonoko if she had encountered any danger at the okonomiyaki shop. Suzuki Sonoko had just explained that she was only startled and then suddenly came to her senses.

Is something not quite right?

We don't think we told you that the body was found outside the okonomiyaki restaurant, did we?

Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama, who were standing nearby, did not notice this situation.

Because Kogoro Mouri was already excitedly following Goro Otaki to the back to retrieve information about the deceased, preparing to see what the connection was, so that he, the famous detective of Kanto, could become famous in the Kansai region.

Their attention was completely focused on Kogoro Mouri.

Knowing that she probably couldn't solve the case herself, Sonoko Suzuki had little interest in focusing on deduction.

Otherwise, this high school student who calls herself the Queen of Teitan Mystery might have already transformed into a high school detective and gone over there to give pointers and perform a mysterious mystery that would leave even Kogoro Mouri in awe.

"...Arn, do you have a surveillance system installed here as well?"

Sonoko Suzuki carefully looked around, and only when she saw that no other officers were paying attention to her did she ask in a low voice.

She knew, of course, that Chen En was installing surveillance systems throughout Tokyo, and that he had already achieved full coverage of public areas in the Beikacho district.

This matter might be kept secret from others, but it definitely cannot be kept secret from Sonoko Suzuki.

Although she rarely uses the Suzuki Group's intelligence network, it doesn't mean she doesn't use it at all. In fact, Chen En initially relied on the Suzuki Group's channels to set up the surveillance system.

Sonoko Suzuki knew about the surveillance plan from the very beginning.

He even went to see the Bat Cave beneath Chen En Manor with Suzuki Jirokichi when it was being built, so he actually knows quite a lot about various aspects of the matter.

However, she rarely tells others about these things, so as not to cause any other problems.

After all, the scenario of a masked hero's girlfriend knowing his true identity and hiding place, then revealing it to others, resulting in a major incident, has appeared many times in various TV series and comics.

She took this as a serious warning, otherwise, given her outspoken nature, she would have already revealed everything.

"I simply launched a surveillance drone."

Chen En explained calmly.

It's the same kind of surveillance drone that was previously used over Koshien Stadium.

These drones can not only hide at very high altitudes, but also have the same optical stealth effect as the Batplane. Therefore, as long as a suitable altitude and angle are found to keep tracking them, very few people can see through them.

When he decided to visit Hiryuji, while waiting at the station for the Suzuki Group to bring the car, he casually launched this drone, letting it move along with the vehicles of Sonoko Suzuki and the others.

In this way, if they really encounter any danger and Sonoko Suzuki doesn't have time to use her protective gear, he can use the drone for basic protection to ensure that Sonoko Suzuki won't face any life-threatening danger before he arrives.

He will also have this drone accompany Hattori Heiji and the others on their investigation.

To minimize the level of danger.
