asked Shizuo Komimon, who was driving three others to Minoh Mountain in a car he borrowed from the coffee shop owner.
All four people were in the car, and only Criminal Sakata was left at the murder scene - yes, he was guarding himself, maintaining order at the scene, and waiting for his colleagues to arrest him.
There is no doubt about this matter, no matter how unreliable it seems, things still turned out like this.
In Shizuo Komemon's view, the reason why Sakata was able to plead guilty so smoothly was not only because of Hattori Heiji's rhetoric, but also because of his presence.
This is not a boast, but a reference to his status as a Tokyo Metropolitan Police officer. Where he stands, the other party will feel a sense of shame and pressure that "family scandals must not be made public".
This is a "family matter" for the Osaka police. You can't cause too much embarrassment in front of the criminals from Tokyo. This thought may overwhelm the idea of escape for a while.
But now that several people are gone, the effect of the rhetoric and the shame of "family scandal" will gradually fade away, and it is unknown whether the idea of escape will arise again.
After all, people's hearts are unpredictable.
It's just that Hattori Heiji was worried that Numabuchi Kiichiro had escaped and couldn't wait for other criminals to arrive. At the same time, he said that Osaka had a weird one-way street and it was impossible to get a taxi during rush hour.
Then again, he was underage, had no driver's license, and had never learned to drive. Among the few people, only Shizuo Komimon was the only one who could drive.
In short, for various reasons, it seems that several people have to go together, otherwise the thing will not be completed.
It should be said that Shizuo Komemon didn't mind making this trip, after all, the reception was quite warm, but no matter how you looked at Hattori Heiji's performance, something was wrong.
There is really no way not to make people wonder if they are trying to get rid of people like me so that they can carry out some secret operation...
"Turn left ahead."
Hattori Heiji, who was in the passenger seat, raised his head from the map, pointed to the road, and then answered seriously:
"I believe in Sakata-san. My old man has praised him many times in front of me, and I know his character very well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought him to receive you today.
If it hadn't been for this incident, he would actually be one of the most promising among the younger generation of Osaka police..."
Speaking of this, Hattori Heiji looked a little melancholy in his eyes.
"You can obviously call other criminals to catch the fugitive. This guy Heiji is really stubborn again, and he's dragging you all along with him. I'm really sorry."
Toyama Kazuha in the back seat complained to Suzuki Ayako in a low voice, but Hattori Heiji, with his sharp ears, heard everything clearly and muttered, "You stupid woman, you don't understand anything at all."
Suzuki Ayako smiled warmly and held Toyama Kazuha's hand, "It's okay. I heard that there is a waterfall in Minoh Mountain? It can also be used as a tourist attraction."
"Ah, it's true. Minoh Park is world-famous for its waterfalls and red leaves, and it's also the birthplace of the famous Minoh Yaki!
Minoo-yaki was founded in the Taisho period, and there are only two generations of masters. The first generation, Matsuda Shinori, is deceased, and the second generation, Matsuda Chizan..."
Toyama Kazuha immediately transformed into a tour guide and introduced the various natural and cultural features of Minoh Mountain, which was much more qualified than Hattori Heiji who was half-baked.
Although he was not qualified as a tour guide, Hattori Heiji read the map correctly. The group of people arrived at Minoh Mountain smoothly and found the cabin mentioned by Sakata Criminal along the mountain road.
"It seems like it's going to rain, please move faster." Shizuo Komemon reminded him as he looked at the gloomy sky.
"Soon, Criminal Sakata said that Numabuchi Kiichiro was restrained by him with handcuffs. I wanted to..."
Hattori Heiji stopped mid-sentence because Kiichiro Numabuchi, a fugitive, was the original scapegoat of Sakata Criminal Investigation.
Several people entered the hut, and Hattori Heiji asked the three of them to wait below. He climbed up to the beams and removed a piece of the ceiling, revealing the hidden attic.
"Be careful, Heiji." Toyama and Ye looked down and frowned.
"I understand, Heye, can you please stop being as verbose as my mother?"
While Hattori Heiji was arguing with Kazuha, he took out his mobile phone and used the screen's fluorescent light to barely illuminate a corner of the dark attic. As expected, he discovered Numagachi Kiichiro being handcuffed to a pillar in the attic.
Kiichiro Numabuchi has sparse eyebrows, long scruffy hair, and sunken eye sockets. At first glance, he looks like a leather skeleton with turned-up nostrils. His appearance is really very casual.
"Found it, found it, I'll take him down right now, but he may look a little scary, so be mentally prepared."
As Hattori Heiji spoke, he used the key to unlock the handcuffs and cuffed Numabuchi Kiichiro's hands together again.
There were no accidents in this process. Next, Hattori Heiji struggled to drag the person to the entrance of the attic and threw him directly to the floor with a loud bang.
Although they were informed in advance, Toyama Kazuha and Suzuki Ayako were still shocked by his appearance.
"Is this really a fugitive and not a savage?" Yuan Shan and Ye couldn't help blurting out.
"It's absolutely true, Numagachi Kiichiro looks like this." Hattori Heiji jumped down from the beam and jumped down lightly.
"Be careful!" Shizuo Komemon suddenly raised his voice to remind him.
Kiichiro Numabuchi suddenly jumped up from the ground, and then snatched away the pistol that Hattori Heiji had put in his pants pocket.
Then, the gun was pointed at the back of Hattori Heiji's head!
"Stop chasing me, I won't go back, I won't go back, let me go..."
Numabuchi Kiichiro spoke incoherently and incomprehensible words, and his overall mental state was somewhat abnormal.
However, in the face of this scene, neither Shizuo Komemon nor Heiji Hattori, who was pointed at gunpoint, or even Suzuki Ayako and Toyama Kazuba did not panic.
Because as early as in the car, several people watched Hattori Heiji unload all the bullets.
Hattori Heiji raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and looked at Numabuchi Kiichiro, and said calmly: "Whether you want it or not, you have to go back with me."
Numabuchi Kiichiro pulled the trigger repeatedly, but there was no response from the pistol, and he suddenly panicked.
But panicked and crazy, he threw away the pistol and rushed towards Yuan Shanhe Ye who was standing alone, trying to put the chain in the middle of the handcuffs around the latter's neck.
But he had been starved for two days, and Yuan Shan and Ye kept watching his movements, and took advantage of the situation to throw him over his shoulder very calmly.
Kiichiro Numabuchi has very good physical fitness, otherwise the organization would not want to train him to be a killer, and the fall did not cause him much harm.
He got up from the ground without any hesitation, then turned towards Shizuo Komemon and the other two who were standing at the door.
"Go away!!!"
He was like a mad beast, with a fierce look on his face.
Shizuo Komemon blocked Suzuki Ayako behind him, frowned, and kicked her back, "If you're so ugly, don't go around scaring people."
The next chapter has been reviewed again...I feel numb, really, something has been wrong lately, it's getting stricter and stricter.
