Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Bai Quanyi smiled awkwardly and said, "She didn't bother me, she was just a little lonely and asked me to talk to her."

Hattori Heiji thought for a moment and said, "That's true. My dad is usually too busy with work."

Shiraizumi Masu asked, "Hattori, why isn't Miss Toyama with you?"

Hattori Heiji said unhappily: "I didn't participate in the kendo finals yesterday, and she was angry with me. Girls are troublesome. I tried to explain to her but she didn't listen..."

Hattori Shizuka rolled her eyes at her stupid son and said, "Heiji, you're so stupid... why are you still explaining? Apologize now!"

Hattori Heiji said: "Why? I didn't do anything wrong!"

Hattori Shizuka said, "Kaifang High School lost because of you without a fight. Aren't you right?"

Hattori Heiji said: "I am here for the case..."

Hattori Shizuka said, "Shut up, I don't want to hear your explanation... Anyway, I'm going to call He Ye over now, and you apologize to her in front of everyone!"

Hattori Heiji protested, "I'm not apologizing, I did nothing wrong!"

Hattori Shizuka raised her eyebrows, pulled out the folding fan from her waist and threw it at Hattori Heiji.

With a "bang", a bump appeared on Hattori Heiji's forehead and he fell to the ground with his butt facing the sky.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

The bump on Hattori Heiji's forehead pushed up his baseball cap.

"Did you hear that, Heiji?"

Hattori Heiji got up and saw Hattori Shizuka holding a folding fan, looking very majestic, as if she would beat him up if he didn't obey her.

"I know!" Hattori Heiji was unhappy. "Oba-san, you are still so fierce even when you are pregnant. It's terrible!"

Hattori Shizuka called Toyama Kazuha, and then asked the housekeeper to drive to pick her up.

Under the tyranny of Hattori Shizuka, Hattori Heiji was forced to make a formal apology to Toyama 0.2 and Ye.

This made Baiquan Yi and Xiao Ai laugh.

After dinner, the group went to Osaka Castle to play. However, there were six of us in total, so it was a bit crowded to fit in one car.

Hattori Heiji called Officer Sakata and asked him to drive the police car to take everyone out to play.

Under Hattori Shizuka's arrangement, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha were in one car, and the others were in another car.

Hattori Shizuka is about to leave Osaka, and wants to push Hattori Heiji as soon as possible to promote the relationship between her son and Toyama Kazuha.

However, she was overthinking it. Hattori Heiji wasn't interested in women. He was attracted to the little boy Edogawa Conan, his future life partner... However, their fate seemed to have not yet arrived, but they believed it would soon.

177. Xiao Ai: I don’t want to eat dog food

After parking the car, the group got out to play, but suddenly noticed that the pedestrians next to them all looked up, looking upwards and exclaiming something.

"What are they looking at?" Hattori Heiji looked up in confusion, and then saw a black shadow falling from the sky.

In an instant, everyone's heart suddenly tightened.

Because everyone could see clearly that it was a human figure.

"boom."

Accompanied by a sharp loud bang, the figure fell from a building more than ten stories high and landed on the roof of the police car driven by Hattori Heiji. All the windows shattered and shattered under the violent impact. Large pieces of glass flew in all directions. Many passers-by who were relatively close were scratched by the glass fragments on the spot and let out miserable screams.

"what?"

Hattori Heiji's face changed drastically.

He was a slightly overweight man wearing a suit, with a dagger stuck in his chest and blood flowing everywhere.

After the huge impact just now, his eyeballs seemed to be bulging out, which looked extremely terrifying.

"This is murder." Fujimine Yukiko's face was also solemn. The deceased was stabbed with a dagger in the chest, which obviously did not mean he fell accidentally.

"Look, there's someone up there." Hattori Shizuka suddenly reminded.

Hattori Heiji hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, he could vaguely see a blurry figure on the roof.

"That must be the murderer! Officer Sakata, please ask the police to come over." Hattori Heiji said this and immediately rushed into the building.

"Is this considered a lightning-speed police response?" Bai Quanyi looked at the corpse in the police car, then looked at Officer Sakata who was responsible for receiving him on the side, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Aren't you going up?" Hattori Shizuka asked curiously.

Bai Quanyi smiled faintly: "If I were the murderer, I would not stay on the rooftop like a fool after committing the crime."

Hattori Shizuka was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "So, Heiji's trip was in vain?"

"Yes." Bai Quanyi nodded.

Just as Shiraizumi Masu said, Hattori Heiji made a wasted trip.

When they returned with the figure on the roof, the scene of the fall was already surrounded by people.

Watching the fun is the same thing no matter which country you are in.

"He's not the murderer." Hattori Heiji pointed at the mustache man next to him and said with a hint of disappointment, "This gentleman said he received a strange phone call. Someone asked him to go upstairs to get something important."

"So that's why he appeared on the roof?" Bai Quanyi nodded.

"That's what happened." Hattori Heiji clenched his fists. "This daring murderer actually dared to commit a crime in a downtown area. This is really something I never expected."

"Since the deceased's fatal injury was a dagger piercing the heart, how did he fall down?" Yuanshan Heye asked curiously.

Hattori Heiji said calmly, "Just tie the body with a rope, tie it to the handrail on the roof, wrap the body in a plastic bag, and then secure the rope to the door. Once the rope is untied, the body will fall naturally."

"The deceased may have died a day ago, which means someone killed him yesterday and tied him up on the roof beforehand. In this case, the police will not be able to get many clues from the deceased."

"But isn't it too bold to let the body fall on the police car?" Yukiko had seen murders before, but this was the first time she had seen such arrogant behavior.

"Sister Yukiko is right." Ai also showed a thoughtful expression, "If the murderer is not extremely arrogant and domineering, then it means that he did this for a purpose."

"Maybe it's a punishment for someone." Hattori Heiji suddenly said.

"Punishment?" Everyone turned around in surprise.

They didn't notice that behind the crowd, a middle-aged woman's face turned pale and her eyes were filled with fear after hearing Hattori Heiji's word "punishment".

"That's just my guess," Hattori Heiji said, pointing to his mother. "Mom, before today, there were two consecutive murders. The victims were just like today. The murderer stabbed the victim with a dagger, then pierced their wallets and then stabbed them directly through the heart. Do you remember?"

Hattori Shizuka hummed, "Once or twice it might be a coincidence, but three times in a row is a bit unbelievable. It just so happens that these cases are the ones that the Osaka police are currently paying the most attention to."

"what!"

At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in the crowd. When everyone turned around, they saw a middle-aged woman running away in fear.

"Wait." Hattori Heiji keenly noticed the problem and pushed through the crowd to catch up.

However, the other party got into the car first, and when Hattori Heiji ran over, she had already driven away in a hurry.

"Damn it, there's definitely something weird about that woman!" Hattori Heiji cursed angrily.

Bai Quanyi walked forward and comforted him, "Don't panic, Heiji, I've memorized the license plate number."

As the police arrived to investigate the scene, the group went to the police station to make records because they were the first eyewitnesses.

"These three serial murders have one thing in common, that is, there are rope marks on their necks. Most likely, they suffocated to death before their wallets and hearts were pierced." Hattori Heiji explained the situation to everyone.

"I didn't expect there are so many murders in Osaka..." Yukiko said.

Xiao Ai said: "Is it because of my brother? Cases often happen when my brother is around."

Bai Quanyi was afraid that others would misunderstand him as the god of death, so he quickly explained: "Xiao Ai, your brother is a criminal policeman, so of course he often encounters cases."

Hattori Shizuka was also familiar with this serial murder case and immediately said, "The identities of the three victims have been found out. They are the supermarket manager, the owner of the izakaya, and the taxi driver."

"The professions of these three people are completely unrelated." Yuanshan Heye frowned. "It would be fine if they had something in common, but the professions of these three people are so different that it's difficult to find any clues."

"I thought so too." Hattori Heiji stopped laughing and said seriously, "This is the tricky thing for the police right now."

Bai Quanyi said casually, "Why not carefully investigate the experiences of these three deceased people? Since the murderer chose them as his targets, they must have something in common."

"For example?" Hattori Heiji became excited. He had always admired Shiraizumi Masu's method of solving cases.

"For example, look up the schools they graduated from, their previous jobs, or where they learned to drive." Bai Quanyi shrugged, seemingly making a random guess. "Anyway, I think if we look into it for a while, we'll definitely find something in common."

"Isn't this too much of a hassle?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but say, "If we check all these things and find nothing, it would be a complete waste of time."

"Since you have no idea now, why don't you make a bold assumption?" Bai Quanyi smiled.

Hattori Heiji was stunned. This seemed to make some sense.

He was about to say something else when the door at the back was pushed open and the bespectacled Officer Sakata ran in excitedly: "Heiji, we've found something in common between these three people."

"What? Where?"

"It's in this videotape."

As Officer Sakata inserted the videotape, everyone immediately found the figures of the two dead people in the video, a taxi driver and a supermarket owner, both of whom worked for a congressman.

The content of the videotape was simple: it was a live scene of a congressman suspected of corruption being bombarded by reporters.

"So that's the common point. That woman must be related to this congressman." Hattori Heiji perked up. "In that case, if we want to find clues now, we have to go meet this congressman."

"Have you decided to intervene in the case again?" Hattori Shizuka looked at her son in confusion. "Didn't you say before that we could just hand it over to the police?"

Hattori Heiji pinched his baseball cap and smiled handsomely: "This murderer ruined our trip, so of course I have to arrest him myself."

Xiao Ai was speechless and said: "Brother Hattori, you always... try to be cool in inexplicable situations, so stupid..."

Baiquanyi taught Xiao Ai: "Xiao Ai, even if you know it in your heart, don't say it out loud, otherwise, Hattori will be angry!"

Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows, not knowing whether he should get angry.

After the police station made the record, Hattori Heiji extended an invitation to Shiraizumi Masu.

"Bai Jun, do you want to join me in solving the case?"

Baiquanyi decisively refused: "No, I still want to visit Osaka Castle."

"I see...let my mom take good care of you. I'm going to excuse myself now!"

Hattori Heiji was thinking about leaving.

Hattori Shizuka called out to Hattori Heiji: "Heiji, wait, let Kazuha accompany you."

Hattori Heiji was about to refuse when he saw his mother's fierce eyes and immediately said, "Okay, Mom. Heye, come with me."

To be honest, Toyama Kazuha didn't want to accompany Hattori Heiji to solve the case as it was too boring. However, under the instigation of Aunt Jinghua, he couldn't refuse and had to accompany Hattori Heiji.

As soon as Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha left, Yukiko and Hattori Shizuka immediately came over to Shiraizumi Masu, each taking one side of him, which was very ambiguous.

Xiao Ai's forehead was covered with black lines, and she shouted delicately: "I don't want to eat your dog food, Sister Ye, wait for me, I want to be with you!"

Toyama Kazuha turned around happily, thinking that she didn't have to worry about Hattori Heiji leaving her alone and bored, it was great to have Ai to accompany her.

"Ai, let's go." Yuanshan Heye happily took Ai's hand.

Hattori Heiji adjusted his baseball cap and said, "Ai, open your eyes and watch me solve the case carefully. Remember to tell your brother when you get back!"

"Uh..." Xiao Ai felt like many crows were flying over her head.

178. Bai Jun, I’m itchy

Shiraizumi Masu, Yukiko, and Shizuka didn't really want to visit Osaka Castle. As long as they could stay together, anywhere would be fine.

The three of them entered the cafe and chose a private room to sit down.

The waiter brought two cups of coffee and a cup of hot water.

Hattori Shizuka stood up: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Watching her close the door and leave, Yukiko said to Izumi with an angry look on her face: "You've made Jinghua pregnant, what should I do now?"

Bai Quanyi said: "You, you can also give birth to a baby for me like Jinghua."

Yukiko said, "Will you still marry me after that year?"

Bai Quanyi nodded and said, "Of course, I never go back on my word."

Yukiko then asked, "What about Jinghua?"

Bai Quanyi said: "Of course, marry them together!"

"That's too much! How can someone marry two wives at once? What kind of country do you think Japan is?"
