Chapter 185 Do You Know Again?
Hattori Heiji and Conan quickly ran to Okazaki Sumie's apartment, banging on the door like crazy, shouting: "Miss Okazaki! Miss Okazaki, are you there?"
Very much like a robber.
Nobuhiro opened the door indifferently.
"Bang——" Conan lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.
"Oka..." Hattori Heiji was suddenly stunned.
Conan got up from the floor and wondered: "What happened to Hattori-nii...!!!"
"Didn't you just ask me not to open the door?" Okazaki Sumie asked angrily, "Although it's unlikely with a child, what if he relies on this to paralyze us?"
Nobushige said calmly: "It doesn't matter, they are people I know and will not hurt you." He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "Are you here to invite Miss Okazaki on behalf of Officer Sakata?"
"How do you know... No, no, why did you come here to invite her on behalf of Officer Sakata?" Hattori Heiji looked confused, "Didn't Officer Sakata tell Sumie Okazaki to stay at home?"
"When I heard it was Officer Sakata, I knew you two must be with him. But didn't Sakata tell you? He called just now and asked Miss Okazaki to go downstairs to see him."
Hattori Heiji frowned sharply and said, "That shouldn't be the case. He clearly knew that we were here to look for Okazaki Sumie, so how could he ask Okazaki Sumie to come downstairs?"
Conan immediately said: "Is there someone deliberately pretending to be Officer Sakata?"
Hattori Heiji also thought of this possibility: "Then it is very possible that Miss Okazaki's phone number has been monitored by the murderer!"
Okazaki Sumie looked through the landline record: "But how did the murderer know Officer Sakata's number? Look, the two calls are obviously the same."
"Anyway, we'll find out later by asking Officer Sakata." Hattori Heiji looked at Nobushige very seriously, "But now I still have a doubt, why are you here?"
In Hattori Heiji's mind, Asano Nobushige is Kudo Shinichi, so the fact that he came to Okazaki Sumie one step ahead of time means that he has deduced the connection between these cases, or at least he found Okazaki Sumie's information on his own. .
This explanation put Hattori Heiji in a bad mood.
Obviously before, he thought he had similar abilities to Kudo Shinichi, but his repeated encounters seemed to tell him that he was not as good as Kudo Shinichi.
Faced with the condemnation of Hattori Heiji and Conan, "You have the clues but you don't share them with me", Nobushige said innocently: "Miss Okazaki is an excellent graphic designer, one of my plans for coming to Osaka this time. I just asked her to design the logo of Lufeng Music Classroom."
Okazaki Sumie showed an embarrassed expression: "Thank you, Mr. Asano. In fact, there are very few customers who really understand what I want to express over the years. Therefore, I will definitely design the LOGO of Lufeng Music Classroom very carefully."
Hattori Heiji asked suspiciously: "Why is it such a coincidence? Sumie Okazaki is the one who suddenly ran away at the scene before. When we were chasing her, Asano, you just said you had something to leave."
After listening to his words, Okazaki Sumie was also a little wary: "Mr. Asano?"
"It's indeed a coincidence, but how did I find out Miss Okazaki's information in such a short time? Besides, if you have any doubts, you can go directly to the studio where Miss Okazaki worked before and ask. I should have reported it to the studio a few days ago Called."
Conan said quickly: "We don't doubt Brother Asano, but Miss Okazaki must know something about the recent serial cases."
Hattori Heiji's big hand covered Conan's furry head: "You kid, sometimes you are too serious to be like a child." He did not doubt further, "Then let's talk about you, Miss Okazaki."
Okazaki Sumie pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before nodding in agreement.
But just when she was ready to start talking about the driving school years ago, Yusuke Sakata knocked on the door, belatedly arriving.
"You're finally here. Is there still traffic on the road?"
Sakata Yusuke took off his coat and held it in his hand, breathlessly answering Hattori's question: "The direction back is fine, but it's much more crowded than usual."
Seeing the worried Sumie Okazaki, Yusuke Sakata scratched his head and said softly: "Sorry, Miss Okazaki, I am Sakata. I called you just now because I was worried that your room has been monitored by the murderer, and it is far less safe than an open place. . But I didn’t expect Heiji to have arrived.”
Sakata Yusuke explained their previous doubts as soon as he arrived, which reassured Hattori Heiji, but the meaning of his words made Hattori Heiji confused.
Conan's performance was even more obvious, and he did not hide his suspicious eyes at all.
He obviously told Okazaki Sumie to stay at home before, but later changed his story after they left, saying that the room was dangerous, and said that he didn't expect Hattori Heiji to have arrived... This kind of excuse is really lame. But if Sakata Yusuke bluntly admits that his phone was stolen or he didn't know anything about it, once they find out the results, Sakata Yusuke's suspicion level will increase again.
But now, although Conan is very reluctant to believe Sakata Yusuke's words, looking at his calm and calm appearance, it doesn't seem like he is hiding anything.
Maybe Sakata Yusuke suddenly remembered something, so he called in a hurry?
"Miss Okazaki, now you can tell me what you know." Hattori Heiji pointed at Sakata Yusuke and said, "With the protection of an excellent police officer like Officer Sakata, you can tell everything with confidence."
Sumie Okazaki looked at Yusuke Sakata with unhesitating trust in his eyes. For her now, the police are her hope for safety. She never imagined that the police officer in front of her wanted her life.
"Actually, I am not familiar with the victims of the previous three homicides, but we attended the same driver's license training class many years ago." Sumie Okazaki calmed down before saying, "I suspect that the murderer is a relative or friend of the previous driving school instructor."
She stood up and took out a photo album from the cabinet and placed it on the table: "There is a photo album of us in it, but...it's just a reminder!!!"
"Sorry." Sakata Yusuke suddenly approached Hattori Heiji and whispered, "The police station seems to have gotten new clues. I have to go back. Miss Okazaki will leave it to you, Heiji."
Hattori Heiji was surprised and stunned: "Okay, just leave it to me and Asano without any worries!"
Hattori Heiji, who had always been so confident in his reasoning that he was a bit arrogant, specifically included that ordinary man named Asano Nobushige in his promise. This made Sakata Yusuke couldn't help but take a second look at Nobushige.
But now he obviously has more important things to do.
If this matter could end safely, it would not be too late for him to explore Asano Nobushige at that time.
