Chapter 242: Car Accident After Speeding

Thursday, September 5th, Thursday.

Before evening, the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department searched the office of the third department.

The mobile phone of police officer Ren Saburo Shiratori who was looking at the documents suddenly rang.

"Officer Yumi from the traffic section asked Takagi for dinner?" Officer Shiratori smiled, "I guess he wanted to enlighten him." Then he looked at an empty seat and smiled, "Officer Sato hasn't come back from handling the case, so he probably doesn't have time I’ll go.” Then he laughed again, “It’s enough to brush Takagi twice, and it’s too much to do it any more, but isn’t he going to stay in a hotel next time? Find a way to introduce him to the quietest and most suitable place for review. Of course, this will be the most expensive hotel." Then he said, "Okay, that's it, I'll treat you to a drink when I have time."...

Before five o'clock, Yamazaki, Conan and Ms. Noriko Okaya returned to the Mori Detective Agency.

Yamazaki asked Conan to take away the cold coffee on the coffee table, asked Ms. Okaya to sit down on the sofa, then sat on the sofa opposite her, looked at the clock and asked with a smile, "Okaya Miss, it is less than an hour now, are you satisfied with the result?"

"Very satisfied," Ms. Okaya smiled, "Thank you very much."

Yamazaki asked: "Miss Okaya, so the commission has been completed, right? My signature here, I write Mori Detective Agency, is it okay?"

"Okay." Okaya-san smiled.

After a while, Yamazaki said with a smile: "Miss Okaya, this is your receipt and the commissioned report, please take it well."

"Okay, thank you." Ms. Okaya got up and said with a smile, "Mr. Yamazaki, I'm taking my leave."

"Okay, Miss Okaya, please go slowly." Yamazaki got up and smiled.

As soon as Ms. Okaya went out, Conan said to Yamazaki who was packing up: "So, she came to us because that Kitagawa Kenshi moved but didn't register. She couldn't find him according to the license plate number."

Yamazaki left a note to Lan, saying that he took Conan to do the commission. Then he said to Conan: "Okay, take the binoculars, let's go."...

Before 5:30, Yamazaki and Conan took a taxi and followed Ms. Okaya who was driving all the way to an unexpected place, the Mihua Cemetery.

Letting the taxi wait outside, Yamazaki and Conan followed Okaya-san into the cemetery.

Seeing Ms. Okaya standing in front of a tombstone, Yamazaki looked through the binoculars, Tatsuo Yamaguchi handed the binoculars to Conan and said: "I'll go to the management office to check. If it doesn't work, go up and hold her back.

"Come back soon," Conan said.

Soon after, Yamazaki came back and said, "Mr. Tatsuo Yamaguchi died in a car accident half a year ago. It seems that I have to trouble Police Officer Yumi again." Then he asked, "How is she?" He said and took action The phone began to contact Police Officer Miyamoto Yumi.

Looking through the binoculars, Ms. Okaya clasped her hands together, and Conan said, "I'm telling him something."

"Hello, Officer Yumi, I'm Yamazaki. Excuse me, can I trouble you again?" Yamazaki asked.

"What's the matter?" Police Officer Yumi said, "I'm leaving get off work soon."

"A man named Tatsuo Yamaguchi, 29 years old, died in a car accident half a year ago. I would like to ask you to help investigate. The accident may be related to the Kitagawa Qiang that I asked you to investigate just now." Yamazaki said, " By the way, he should have been in a car accident out of town.

Now he is buried in Mihua Cemetery, so it should be easier to check. "

Officer Yumi asked, "Where are you now?"

"Mihua Mausoleum," Yamazaki said, "I am following the client just now, Ms. Noriko Okaya, and now I suspect that she is going to take revenge on Mr. Kitagawa Keshi for the death of Mr. Yamaguchi Tatsuo."

"What!" Officer Yumi asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

"Ms. Okaya only commissioned the firm to investigate Mr. Kitagawa's address, and the only clues she provided were name, license plate number and a hand portrait. This shows that they just met by chance, so they don't even have a photo. Maybe they just passed by. , the name was found out from the Ministry of Communications based on the license plate number." Yamazaki said, "If it was love at first sight, at least we should let us investigate Mr. Kitagawa's marital status, so I speculate that Ms. Okaya may have come to look for him. hatred."

"Okay, I'll find someone to check it for you right away," Police Officer Yumi said.

"Thank you, Officer Yumi." Yamazaki smiled, "I owe you a big meal." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Hey, Yamazaki," Conan asked, "You just said that you passed by the car. Could it be that Ms. Okaya was sitting in Mr. Yamaguchi's car at that time? Didn't you say that she said she was sick and resigned? Could it be? Can't go to work because of the serious injury in the car accident?"

"What you said makes sense. It seems that Ms. Okaya survived a catastrophe and has been recovering from her injuries in the hospital, so she delayed her revenge until now." Yamazaki said with a smile, "I thought she was waiting for some special day. Woolen cloth."

"A man came to look for her." Conan said, and then he said after a while, "They had a bad conversation, Ms. Okaya left, and that man was also talking to Mr. Yamaguchi's monument. It seems that he knows something."

"I'll follow Ms. Okaya, go talk to that person." Yamazaki said, "Call my mobile phone if you need something."

"Okay." Conan nodded.

At around 5:45, Yamazaki followed Ms. Okaya out of the cemetery, then took a taxi waiting outside the cemetery and followed Ms. Okaya's car and left.

On the other side, Conan stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, do you know that sister Dianzi just now?"

The man asked, "Oh? Kid, do you know Miss Dianzi too?"

Conan pointed to the stele and said, "The uncle here, who is Miss Dianzi?"

"This is her fiancé," the man said, "They were planning to get married, but unexpectedly there was a car accident, and Miss Dianzi was seriously injured." Then he introduced himself, "I am Miss Dianzi's attending doctor, and my name is Zuobo." Then he asked, "Son, what's your name?"

"My name is Conan Edogawa, and I'm a detective." Conan said, "I'm the assistant of detective Mori Kogoro." At the same time, he sighed in his heart, still without salary.

"Detective?" Mr. Saeki said with a smile, "It's really unbelievable. I never thought that a well-known Maori detective would find a child to be his assistant."

Conan asked: "Uncle Saeki, can you tell me how Miss Nianzi got into a car accident?"

"I don't know the specifics, I just overheard a conversation between her and the police." Mr. Saeki said, "Miss Dianzi said that a car was deliberately provoking them, and at the beginning it followed them and kept pressing the modified car. Horn, then snaking in front of them again, and then they couldn't take it anymore, they overtook to the front, and when they finally wanted to get rid of that car..."

"What did the police say?" Conan asked.

"The police said that there were tire marks of two cars at the scene. They will go to find that car, but even if they catch it, they will not be sentenced to a heavy sentence. Please be prepared, Ms. Dianzi. They said that the two cars did not collide. Mr. Yamaguchi himself was the main person responsible for the car accident, because he was speeding and then negligent.” Mr. Saeki said, “The police also asked Ms. Noriko if she knew the license plate number, and Ms. Noriko said she didn’t see it clearly. ,have no idea."

Conan asked: "By the way, Uncle Saeki, what were you talking about just now? Miss Dianzi left like this?"

Mr. Saeki said: "Because of the car accident, Ms. Noriko was seriously injured, with multiple fractures. Her body has just recovered a few days ago. I am urging her to go back and rest more."

The body just came to find the owner of the car with the license plate number seen in the car accident, because he wanted to avenge the owner of the car. Conan asked, "Uncle Saeki, do you have a mobile phone?"

"What, little detective, do you need to report the situation?" Mr. Saeki said with a smile, "Come with me, I put it in the car."...

On this side, Yamazaki followed Ms. Okaya to an apartment building not far from Mihua Mausoleum. Yamazaki looked at the street sign and recalled the address Ms. Okaya had filled in on the entrustment form, and realized that this was the apartment building where Ms. Okaya lived.

While waiting downstairs in the apartment, Yamazaki received a call from Police Officer Yumi from the Traffic Section.

"I found out that there was such a car accident half a year ago. The person responsible was Mr. Yamaguchi Tatsuo himself. The cause of the accident was speeding." Police officer Yumi said, "The file says that his companion is Miss Okaya Noriko, who said It happened because of someone else's provocation. However, although there were tire marks from the two cars at the scene, there was no sign of a collision, so the accident was completely caused by driving without calmness. Also, Ms. Okaya said The license plate number was not seen clearly, so the police did not find the aggressive owner."

Seeing that Ms. Okaya came out with only a square barrel that seemed to be filled with gasoline, Yamazaki asked: "Mr. Yamaguchi Tatsuo was burned to death?"

"Yes, the car overturned and leaked oil, and it was not rescued." Police Officer Yumi said, and then asked, "The provocative car owner is Mr. Kitagawa Keshi, right?"

"Yes," Yamazaki said with a smile when Ms. Okaya put the square bucket into the trunk of the car parked on the road and then went back to the apartment building. "Thank you, Officer Yumi. You can go eat."

"Wait a minute." Police officer Yumi said, "I can't bear this state, just wait a moment, Miwako will be here soon."

"No need, Officer Yumi," Yamazaki said with a smile, "Once your police intervene, my client may become a criminal who attempted murder, so you can go eat with peace of mind." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone .

"Hey, hello." Police officer Yumi hung up the mobile phone and said angrily, "This kid, dare to hang up on me." Then he said to himself, "No, I'd better inform Miwako and let her go and see." Said Then I contacted Officer Miwako Sato, told her about the matter, and gave her Yamazaki's mobile phone number.

Then, when Okaya-san came out of the apartment building with her bag again, Yamazaki received a call from Officer Sato.

"Yamazaki, I'm Sato, where are you?" Officer Sato said, "Don't act rashly, I'll be right there."

"I'm downstairs from Ms. Noriko Okaya's apartment. This is the Rose Apartment." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Officer Sato, if you want to come, don't use your identity as a policeman."

"I'm a policeman," Officer Sato said. "That's my job."

"Then you don't want to come." Yamazaki said and hung up the phone. Then he said to the driver, "Please continue to follow that car."

"I can only say my best." The driver said, "It's off-duty time now, so it's hard to guarantee." Then he asked, "Sir, may I ask, who are you?"

"I'm a half-detective," Yamazaki said with a smile. "The one who talked to me on the phone earlier was Officer Yumi Miyamoto from the Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Division. You must have heard of her, right?"

"I know, I know." The driver smiled, "I'm relieved." Then he started the car.

At this time, Conan sat in the back seat of Mr. Saeki's car and contacted Yamazaki with his mobile phone.

"Hey, Yamazaki, brother." Conan said, "Everything is clear, where are you now?"

"I'm downstairs in Ms. Okaya's apartment. I know what's going on, and Officer Sato also knows that she's coming to me." Yamazaki said, "And Ms. Okaya seems to be going to Mr. Kitagawa's house soon. .”

Conan said with a smile: "You lied to Police Officer Sato, be careful that she punishes you."

"I didn't lie to her." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Okay, now we only need to confirm our conjecture. As long as she goes to Kitagawa Qiangshi's house, it means that our reasoning is correct. Then it can be over."

"I thought so too." Conan said with a smile, "I'll see you later." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Mr. Saeki smiled and said, "Is the report over?"

"Thank you, Uncle," Conan said with a smile, "Uncle, can you take me to a place where Ms. Dianzi will go too." As he spoke, he reported the address of Qiang Shi's family in Beichuan.

"No problem." Mr. Saeki said with a smile, "Sit down and be careful of cactus."

Looking at the three potted cacti next to him, Conan asked, "Did you buy this?"

"Mr. Yamaguchi likes cactus and raised a lot of them. After he passed away, Ms. Noriko entrusted me to take them home and take care of them." Mr. Saeki said, "Although Miss Noriko's can be discharged from the hospital now, she still needs more rest. I plan to take those cactus one after another. Return the cactus to Miss Dianzi, so that she can have something to relieve her boredom."

"By the way, Uncle Saeki," Conan asked, "How do you know Miss Noriko is here?"

"Miss Noriko's apartment is nearby." Saiki-san said, "I don't think she's here, so I came to take a look."

"I see." Conan said with a smile, "Thank you uncle for telling me so many things."...

Around 6:30, outside Qiang Shi's house in Kitagawa.

When Ms. Okaya Noriko's car and Yamazaki's taxi arrived, Mr. Saeki and Conan hadn't arrived yet, let alone Officer Sato.

Yamazaki got out of the taxi, walked up to Ms. Okaya who was taking a bucket from the trunk of the car, and coughed lightly.

Ms. Okaya was startled, then turned around slowly, and found that it was Yamazaki, she was taken aback, "It's you!" Then she asked in panic, "Why, why are you here?"

Pointing to the taxi not far away, Yamazaki said with a smile: "Sorry, Ms. Okaya, I have been following you. The enmity between you and Mr. Yamaguchi Tatsuo and Mr. Kitagawa Koshi, I also invite that police officer Yumi The investigation has been completed. Detective Sato is going to your house now, but she will come over soon." Then persuaded, "Stop it, Ms. Noriko Okaya."

"Why?" Ms. Okaya looked at Kitagawa Jiangshi's house with the lights on, and asked with tears, "Why stop me?"

"I want to ask you why, Ms. Okaya?" Yamazaki said, "If you kill Mr. Kitagawa, you will be arrested too. Wouldn't it be nice to live a good life? And the main cause of the accident was that Mr. Yamaguchi was speeding..."

"It's because of him. If it wasn't for his provocation, why would Da Nan do this?" Ms. Okaya said sharply, "I must seek justice for Da Nan."

"Fairness?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "Then who will seek justice for you? Ms. Okaya, in fact, Mr. Yamaguchi doesn't love you..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Ms. Okaya exclaimed angrily.

"Will the person who drives the beautiful woman in the car be the one who loves the beautiful women around him?" Yamazaki said, "He doesn't care about your personal safety at all, and he talks about love, so you were deceived by him."

"No, it won't," Okaya-san called, "Tatsun won't lie to me."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "That's the truth, Ms. Okaya, otherwise Mr. Yamaguchi wouldn't die, and you wouldn't lose your job due to a serious injury and fall into hatred. If Mr. Yamaguchi loved you and put you first, he wouldn't be speeding , this accident would not have happened, and you should be living happily together now."

"No, it won't." Ms. Okaya knelt down on the ground weakly and cried, "You're talking nonsense."

At this time, a white Mazda drove up at high speed and stopped abruptly beside Yamazaki, and Officer Sato got down from it.

"Yamazaki, you lied to me." Officer Sato said, and then asked strangely, "What's the situation?"

"Officer Sato, I was there at the time, so I didn't lie to you." Yamazaki said with a smile, "And this, didn't you see it? This lady is crying here."

Looking at Ms. Okaya's trunk, Police Officer Sato pointed to the square barrel and asked, "Is there gasoline inside?"

"How do I know that?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "Okay, Officer Sato, nothing happened here, so you can go to eat with peace of mind."

After looking at Ms. Okaya, and then at Kitagawa Kitagawa's house, Officer Sato said, "Remember to call the police next time." After speaking, he got in the car and left.

As soon as Officer Sato left, Mr. Saeki's car arrived.

Conan got out of the car and asked, "What's going on?"

"Hit her." Yamazaki asked, "How did you get here?"

"Traffic jam." Conan said helplessly.

Mr. Saeki who just got out of the car found that it was Ms. Okaya who was kneeling on the ground and covering her head crying, and immediately exclaimed, "Miss Noriko!" He stepped forward to help her up, and then found Ms. Okaya crying He leaned on his shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his arms to embrace Ms. Okaya.

"This is Dr. Saeki, Miss Noriko's attending doctor after the car accident." Conan asked, "How did you hit her and why did you cry like this?"

"Didn't she want to seek revenge from Mr. Beichuan because she loves Mr. Yamaguchi so much?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "I told her that Mr. Yamaguchi would drive too fast because he didn't care about her and didn't love her performance, and then she That's it."

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Conan whispered, "What does this have to do with love, Mr. Yamaguchi is just dazed by anger."

Yamazaki asked with a smile: "Who knows? Why don't you call him out to confront him? It's getting dark now, so he should come out and do some activities?"

Conan gave Yamazaki a pair of supercilious eyes, and then asked, "By the way, that was Officer Sato's car just now, wasn't it?"

"Yes, she didn't have a warning light on." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Okay, let's go. It seems that Mr. Saeki can come here."

"That's right," Conan said with a smile, "I believe Mr. Saeki will take good care of Ms. Noriko."

Together with Conan, Yamazaki waved goodbye to Mr. Saeki who heard their conversation, and left in a taxi under his grateful gaze. ...
