Osaka's Tough Local Spirit

Meanwhile, Conan Hattori Heiji had already seen through the truth of the matter.

They began searching for the missing Wakisaka Shigehiko and Soya Yasuhiro.

While searching for a meeting point, the two happened to run into Soya Yasuhiro, who was on his way to the rendezvous point.

So he quickly followed.

Soon, the two followed them to the warehouse where they had been lying in ambush.

He was completely unaware of the large group of gloomy-faced, unremarkable thugs following behind him.

Clearly, those people were the Soya Yasuhiro brought.

"It's pitch black, I can't see anything..."

Conan walked into the factory, glanced at the dimly lit surroundings, and muttered to himself.

"Empty!"

Hattori Heiji a gesture and looked up at Soya Yasuhiro, who was standing in the second-floor iron-framed passageway. "He's right there."

"It seems he's going upstairs to see someone..."

Conan looked up and glanced at the figure eating, then pondered for a moment.

"Kudo, get the tranquilizer gun ready."

Hattori Heiji felt that this was indeed a bit too risky. Recalling his good brother's tranquilizer watch that could knock someone out, he whispered, "We'll need it at any time."

"I see..."

Conan responded and was about to prepare his tranquilizer watch.

However, a dark figure behind him covered his mouth and dragged him into the shadows.

"Waaaaah..."

Conan immediately sensed that something was very wrong.

He knew that feeling all too well!

I was attacked from behind again!

Damn it, this is unethical!

"Keep your voice down."

Goro Otaki covered Conan's mouth. "It's me."

'Otake Police Department?'

Conan turned around, recognized the other person, and looked completely bewildered.

He had been ambushed by criminals before.

But what kind of thing is it to be ambushed by the police?

"Kudo, where did you go?"

Hattori Heiji turned around but didn't see Conan. He looked confused, but then he remembered that the kid always liked to go to the toilet, so he didn't think too much about it. He followed him and continued to whisper, "If you're going to the toilet, then hurry back!"

Conan: "..."

What kind of person am I in your eyes?

Did I disappear to pee?

Can't you even turn around and look at me?!

'Officer Otake is quite professional...'

On the iron-framed walkway of the factory roof, Fujino leaned against the handrail, looking down at Otake's practiced movements, and for a moment he couldn't tell who the professional assassin was.

He glanced back at Hattori Heizo, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Thirty or forty people could easily hide.

The Criminal Investigation Department's people are adept at using underhanded tactics to kidnap elementary school students.

Who are the people at your Osaka Headquarters?

You've done this quite a few times, haven't you?

They're surprisingly skilled at it.

"..."

Hattori Heizo crossed his arms and refused to answer any questions.

Hattori Heiji followed Soya Yasuhiro and soon met the two people he was meeting, and began his deduction.

The first case involved Wakisaka luring Kato to the top of the Tenshukaku. As for the method of murder, it involved using a special flashlight that would explode when pressed and quickly spontaneously combust. The evidence was dry cell batteries they found nearby.

The second incident involved Wakisaka killing Katagiri beforehand, throwing him into the river, disguising himself as Katagiri, putting on a diving suit, and setting himself on fire.

The person that Ooka Momiji saw was indeed the companion of Wakisaka, who had come to testify, but it just so happened that the girls witnessed it.

Fujino was used to things like exploding flashlights and old revenge cases.

Play with Ke Xue Technology and experience the most ruthless way to die.

Playing with old revenge, enjoying a prison life.

While they were deducing the reasoning, Conan was taken by Otake to the relatively safer side with Fujino Hattori Heiji.

Upon seeing Fujino, the sixth brother, and the squinty-eyed Osaka Headquarters, Conan understood everything.

He and Hattori were played by those cunning old foxes!

These people were acting from beginning to end!

Now, it was finally time for the criminal to confess.

The reason Wakisaka the murder was that some members of this tour group had conspired to kill Wakisaka Shigehiko's grandfather years ago in order to find treasure.

The body found in the drainage ditch thirteen years ago was that of Wakisaka.

As for that Soya Yasuhiro, after killing someone back then, he failed to find the treasure and recoup his costs. In a fit of rage, he led his men to commit several robbery and murder cases. The reason he has escaped the law all these years is because he had plastic surgery.

"It seems you already know why I got plastic surgery."

Soya Yasuhiro, the fake old man, stopped pretending and pulled out a pistol from his pocket, pointing it at Hattori Heiji and Wakisaka Shigehiko: "Speaking of which, it seems that Katagiri has already discovered my identity. I originally wanted to get rid of her... but I didn't expect you to get rid of her for me beforehand."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of people who had been following Hattori Heiji and Conan outside rushed in. Each of the eight men was holding a pistol and surrounded the two of them.

"Hey, aren't you afraid that killing Wakisaka will prevent you from finding the treasure?"

Hattori Heiji swallowed hard, feeling a little flustered.

"In my opinion, he didn't bring the Treasure Map at all. I've already found where he lives... You two step back, pick up that flashlight over there, and the news will say that the detective and the murderer died together... Isn't that a wonderful thing?"

Soya Yasuhiro, holding a pistol, kept pushing the two back. "But I'm still very curious, how exactly did you know that Wakisaka was the murderer?"

"It's an umbrella!"

Conan then appeared and said, "Kato was holding an umbrella before he died. Combined with Oda Nobunaga, that means his code was Oda Nobunaga's horse-shaped gold-painted umbrella. That's why we know the murderer is Wakisaka."

"Kid, when did you go up there?!"

Soya Yasuhiro panicked and pointed the gun at Hattori Heiji: "Get down here right now, or I'll turn your friend into a hornet's nest!"

"Okay then..."

Conan grinned, and then a figure vaulted over the railing.

"Hello!"

Hattori Heiji.

If Conan were to die here, then we'd be completely finished.

"You're pretty savvy!"

Soya Yasuhiro's lips curled slightly, but his smile didn't last long before a black object, clearly not the size of a child, crashed down.

As the thick, black object approached, the smile on Soya Yasuhiro's face gradually disappeared.

Fujino descended from the sky and with a 'Wooden Sword', smashed Soya Yasuhiro's head open with a Wooden Sword.

"Fujino?!"

Hattori Heiji looked bewildered and had just uttered a surprised sound when another figure, Hattori Heizo, descended from the sky and joined the battle.

"Dad?!"

This sudden appearance of his "daddy" left Hattori Heiji even more bewildered.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding searchlights suddenly turned on.

"Surrender, you lot!"

"How can this be repaired, *&%...*!"

"**&...%&*!"

Thirty or forty fully armed Mobile Unit, carrying riot shields, rushed out of the shadows and immediately transformed into radio operators. Holding batons and riot shields, they charged forward with Osaka accents and began to wrestle with the thugs.

The situation briefly spiraled out of control.

Two men in black suits were leading a large group of men in black uniforms in a brawl.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was two gangs fighting.

"..."

Fujino had just finished cracking open the fake old man's head, and then watched in bewilderment as the two groups of people started fighting.

For a moment, it was hard to tell who the police were.

Originally, he also intended to go up and beat up a few more suspects.

But judging from this situation...

I was somewhat at a loss as to how to intervene.

You Osaka people really have a tough and unruly spirit.
