Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Return to the County Police Headquarters.

News from the checkpoints came in one after another, but no checkpoint ever discovered Yamato Gansuke's whereabouts.

Just when Uehara Yui was extremely anxious, Saegusa-maro came running and said that he had received an anonymous tip and had found a man who looked like Yamato Gansuke, but there was no car that could be dispatched immediately, so he came specifically to seek the advice of Kuroda Heibei.

When he saw that Zhufu was very capable, Sanzhishou said happily, "You came just in time, Zhufu, can you lend me your car?"

Zhu Fu Gaoming hesitated: "This is a little bit..."

Kuroda: "Any questions?"

"No," Zhu Fu Gao Ming explained, "It's just that Officer Sanzhi drove a little rudely..."

Kurodabei was silent for a second, then said seriously: "Zhu Fu, the situation is urgent now, just lend him your car, this is an order!"

Since Kuroda Heibei said so, Morobushi Takaaki naturally had no reason to continue refusing, so he had to hand over the car keys to Saegusa no Mamoru.

After getting the key, Mamoru Sanzhi drove towards Mt. Tsuma-dow.

At this time, Zhu Fu Gaoming received a message on his mobile phone. After reading the content, his expression became a little solemn.

Uehara Yui happened to pass by and noticed that he looked a little strange, so she asked him what happened.

Zhu Fu Gaoming showed her the message - the past is like flowing water.

Uehara Yui's face changed drastically when she saw this. Just as she was about to say something, Zhufu Takaming was called away by Kuroda Beibei.

Yui Uehara stood there for a moment, and suddenly a hand patted her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw that it was Yuya and Conan, who were looking at her with a smile.

"Officer Uehara, I have some details I'd like to know about the two cases I mentioned earlier. Can you tell me?"

"For example, in both cases, were there any innocent people killed by stray bullets at the scene?"

···

On the way to the cabin, Sanzhi Mamoru's face looked extremely ugly, and on the passenger seat, there was a mobile phone that was not turned off, and the screen displayed a message from Yamato Gansuke.

"If a warrant is issued, it will be difficult for me to escape even if I want to. Go borrow Zhu Fu's faster car, pick me up at the cabin on Mount Tsuma-Nü, and help me escape. Otherwise, I will expose X's crimes!

Yamato dares to help. "

Sanzhishou was sweating profusely and gritting his teeth. Why? How did Yamato know about X?

At the station, Yuya and others boarded the Shinkansen back to Tokyo.

Miyano Shiho asked Yuya curiously: "The case is not over yet, why are you thinking of going back? I thought you would help solve the case until the murderer is caught."

Yuya stretched and said with a smile, "The case has been solved and the identity of the murderer has been revealed."

"As for helping... Inspector Morobushi and Inspector Yamato are not ordinary police officers. With the two of them here, the murderer won't be able to escape."

Working with Zhu Fu Gao Ming again, Youya still admires his excellent reasoning ability.

Yuya had never seen this inspector in the animation in his previous life, but after a few brief contacts, he discovered that he had extremely keen observation and reasoning abilities, and he deduced the identity of the real murderer almost at the same time as himself.

It can be said that he is worthy of the nickname Zhuge Kongming.

And without him expecting it, he and Yamato Gansuke had already put down the bait and began preparing to catch the real culprit.

Although they had the advantage in this game and had more information and details than Yuya, it was enough to prove Zhu Fu's superior ability.

Before leaving, Youye had already discussed his reasoning with Zhufu Gaoming, and they were exactly the same.

Now that the case has been solved, the remaining task of catching the murderer is the job of the Nagano Prefectural Police.

"Oh?" Miyano Shiho showed an interested expression, "Who is the murderer?"

The Maori father and daughter next to them also cast curious glances.

Youye smiled and kept the secret as usual: "If you want to know who the murderer is, you have to start with the Woodpecker Society."

Mao Lilan interrupted and said, "The Woodpecker Society is what Officer Yui mentioned. It may be an informal group that exists within the Nagano Prefectural Police, right?"

Yuya nodded: "That's right, and the detectives who were killed this time were all members of the Woodpecker Society."

"What?" Kogoro Mouri showed a surprised expression. As a former criminal policeman, he was naturally surprised to hear that there was an illegal group within the police force.

Miyano Shiho asked a question: "But didn't Officer Yui just say that the detectives who were killed this time all had names similar to those of the generals who died in the Battle of Kawanakajima? It's unlikely that there would be an organization formed in the name of the fallen, right?"

"Come to think of it, this is the information you told her."

Yuya: "You're right, but I didn't know that woodpeckers were called X."

"X?" The three of them showed puzzled expressions.

Maori Kogoro asked in confusion: "Even if it is called X, does it have any special meaning?"

At this time, Conan couldn't help but interrupt and said, "X is the twenty-fourth letter of the English alphabet, and when we mention Takeda Shingen and twenty-four, it's easy to think of the twenty-four Takeda generals who served him."

Kogoro Mouri showed a thoughtful expression, and Ran Mouri and Shiho Miyano began to recall who the Twenty-Four Generals were.

Conan paused, giving them some time to think, and continued: "The first person to be beheaded was Inspector Takeda Shigeru, the younger brother of Takeda Shingen, Takeda Nobushige, who was also the leader of the Twenty-Four Generals."

"The second officer who was killed, Kano Akira, originally had the last name Tsuchiya, so he symbolizes Takeda Shingen's confidant, Tsuchiya Masatsugu."

"Next is Officer Akiyama Shinsuke, whose neck is tied to a rope on a car and pulled off a cliff. He symbolizes Takeda Shingen's confidant and represents Akiyama Nobutomo, who interacted with Oda Nobunaga."

"If Woodpecker calls himself one of the Twenty-Four Generals and uses this to recruit his companions, then this is very likely. Inspector Morobushi also said so."

Kogoro Mori nodded slightly. If that was the case, it made sense. After all, he had encountered many criminal gangs that used famous historical generals as code names.

Yuya took over the conversation and continued, "According to this line of thought, the next person who might be killed is Officer Sanzhi Moritomo, whose name is only one character different from Sanzhi Moritomo, who became a cavalry general at the age of 27."

"Wait a minute," Maori Kogoro discovered a brilliant point, "If we are talking about the Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda, then Yamamoto Kansuke, the military advisor of Takeda Shingen, is also among them, right?"

Yuya nodded: "That's right, that's why Officer Shikano said that when they were at the battlefield ruins, saying that Inspector Yamato was more suitable to stay in their team."

“It’s just that we didn’t know at the time that he actually meant the Woodpecker Society.”

Miyano Shiho said thoughtfully: "In this case, everyone in the Takeda Group is a member of the Woodpecker Society?"
