"It is still too early to conclude whether it is a provocation or not."

Bai Masong said lightly.

He bent down and looked at the body of the deceased. The body had fallen down and its back was badly broken. There was a dagger stuck in the chest. The dagger had passed through the wallet and was stuck in the heart.

Bai Masong used his white-gloved hand and only glanced at it briefly to prevent Osaka from making trouble.

"The wallet is ordinary, nothing special about it."

Bai Masong came to the conclusion, the subtext of which is that the murderer probably didn't kill people because of the wallet issue.

"After the murderer killed someone, the dagger went through the wallet and stabbed into the chest, which is exactly the same as the previous case."

Hattori Heiji frowned and said.

"The previous case?"

Bai Masong asked with a hint of doubt.

Conan and Maori Kogoro also listened attentively, they also wanted to know.

"Before this, there have been two murders in Osaka, both of which were carried out by stabbing the victim's chest with a dagger through the wallet."

Hattori Heiji explained.

"Is that so?" Bai Masong said thoughtfully. It sounded like he had some impression of this case.

This was one of the few cases he remembered, and he had forgotten the modus operandi, but he vaguely remembered that the murderer seemed to be a policeman.

If the murderer is a policeman, according to the laws of Conan's world, the murderer must have a name that appeared after the case occurred. In this case, it seems that the murderer is this man named Sakata Yusuke.

However, although he knew the murderer, he was a police officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department after all, and it was not a good idea for him to directly intervene in the Osaka serial murder case.

Moreover, to be honest, as a policeman, Yusuke Sakata knows all the police's ideas in handling cases and basically will not leave any key clues.

For example, this corpse was handled very cleanly, so if you want to catch him, you have to catch him in the act!

At this time, Bai Masong caught a glimpse of a middle-aged woman out of the corner of his eye. She looked panicked and terrified, and seemed very uneasy.

Bai Masong thought, this might be the next victim.

Hakuba Song saw the suspicious person, and of course Hattori Heiji and Conan also noticed it. They immediately walked towards the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was startled and immediately turned around, got into her car quickly and drove away.

"Damn it! She ran away!"

Hattori Heiji said.

"It's okay. I've already written down her license plate number."

Conan said.

"Then let's go back to the police station and check the license plate."

Hattori Heiji suggested.

Conan nodded in agreement.

The two of them were discussing their views on the case, but they both subconsciously ignored one question, which was why, with Bai Masong's powerful force, the woman was able to run away.

...............................

Soon, at the suggestion of Hattori Heiji, everyone came to the Osaka Prefectural Police Higashijiri Police Station.

Hattori Heiji first introduced the details of the case to everyone.

Hearing what Hattori Heiji said, Bai Basong said calmly: "I will step aside for a while."

"this.............."

Hattori Heiji hesitated.

The Metropolitan Police Department, or Tokyo and Osaka, have always been at odds with each other. Generally speaking, this kind of serial murder case really needs to be avoided.

Even according to the nature of the Osaka Prefectural Police, the case would not be given to the Tokyo police unless the Tokyo police held the key clues.

"No need!"

A voice that sounded very majestic and powerful came from outside the door.

Everyone looked outside the door and saw two people walking in.

The first person had dark skin, but a resolute face. Although his eyes were often narrowed, they always emitted a sharp look between their opening and closing.

Behind him, there was a man wearing formal attire, with a firm face and looking very calm.

The two men were none other than the Chief of Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, Hattori Heiji's father - Hattori Heizo, and the Chief of Osaka Criminal Division, Toyama Kazuha's father - Toyama Ginjiro.

"Inspector Baima, just stay here and listen. If you have any suggestions, feel free to speak up."

Hattori Heizo said in a strong voice.

When Bai Masong saw that Hattori Heizo said this, he sat back down.

"Yuanshan, you speak."

Hattori Heizo said to Toyama Ginjiro behind him.

Toyama Ginjiro then took over the previous topic and spoke.

"This case has occurred twice before, one in Toyonaka City and one in Makikata City."

"In the Toyonaka case, the deceased was Nagao Hidetoshi, a supermarket manager. In the Makikata case, the deceased was Nishiguchi Tayo, who ran an izakaya. And in the case that just happened, the deceased was Noyasu Kazuto, who is now a taxi driver."

"From the current perspective, the three people had basically no social interactions and no relationship with each other. The three places of death are also completely unrelated."

"The only thing they had in common was that the three people were stabbed in the chest with a dagger through their wallets. But they were also strangled first and then stabbed with the dagger."

"So, our current speculation is that the key clue is the wallet."

Toyama Ginjiro sorted out all the main clues of the case in one breath.

After hearing this, everyone started to think.

"What's in that wallet?"

Bai Masong asked pointedly.

Toyama Ginjiro recalled and said

"Banknotes, bank cards, ID cards, driver's licenses, these should be the things that are available."

Bai Masong listened, thought about it, and said.

"Banknotes and bank cards are all related to money, but the banknotes were left behind. Plus, there was no financial dealings between the three suspects, so it should have nothing to do with these two."

"The ID card and driver's license are actually things related to identity and background, but the three of them seem to have nothing to do with each other, so..."

"Go check your driver's license first?"

Toyama Ginjiro raised his eyebrows and repeated it.

The Osaka police had investigated many things before, but the driver's license issue was only recently raised by Hattori Heizo, so they only started investigating this clue.

But who is Hattori Heizo? He has been in the police force for decades and has rich experience in solving cases. His logical reasoning ability is also first-class in Osaka and even in the island country.

Bai Masong was able to analyze the key evidence thoroughly when he saw the clues for the first time. He is indeed worthy of being the son of the Superintendent of Police and his abilities are indeed outstanding.

"I have already asked Yuanshan to investigate the driver's license issue. I believe there will be results soon."
