The next day, the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Still no clues?" Matsumoto Kiyocho looked at the police officers from the Search Division and other areas in front of him and said. "Considering that it was one loaf and five seven loaves, it is likely that the murderer wanted to kill two more people. If we don't find any clues soon, those two people could be murdered at any time. ”

"And what's even stranger is that none of these six people have a known connection yet," Officer Twilight said. "Really, we don't even have a way to find the pattern of the murderer's murder, and we don't even know if he killed indiscriminately...... If only Brother Kudo were still around, if he was there, he would probably have found a pattern and even solved the case. ”

"Do you mean Shinichi Kudo?" Shigego Yokomizo from Kanagawa Prefecture glanced at him and said. "Anyway, I don't seem to have heard anything about him lately, are you tired of detective games?"

"There is even some public opinion that Kudo Shinichi died after being involved in a certain incident." Beside him, said Anomimi Ogino from Saitama Prefecture. "He used to be quite high-profile, but there have been no reports of solving cases in recent times, which is quite an anomaly."

"Actually, he's solved some cases recently," Officer Takagi interjected. "In the diplomat incident, he was the one who solved the truth of the case, and he also appeared as a black knight at the campus festival of Tidan High School."

"Takagi!" Officer Twilight frowned. "Say no more!"

"What's wrong?" Kiyocho Matsumoto looked a little curious and asked.

"In order to respect his own wishes, we concealed the fact that Shinichi Kudo was involved in the case from the media." Officer Twilight explained in a whisper to Kiyoshi Matsumoto.

"Understood." Matsumoto Kiyoshi nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Yamato's mobile phone from Nagano Prefecture suddenly rang.

“？” Everyone looked at Yamato Dasuke - it was quite rude for a meeting of this level to have a phone ringing.

"Okay, I got it!" Yamato's expression was a little embarrassed at first, but he changed to a surprised expression less than ten seconds after answering the phone.

"What's wrong?" When Yamato Dasuke hung up, Matsumoto Kiyocho asked. "Did you find any clues?"

"Yes," Yamato nodded excitedly. "We have found the whereabouts of a fugitive wanted criminal who is currently considered by our Nagano Prefectural Police to be the most likely murderer of a serial murder!"

"Wanted on the run?" Officer Twilight confirmed. "Mind telling us about it?"

The wanted man, Minoru Fukase, 27, had a clash with Shuhei Jino, one of the six dead, a year earlier and nearly killed him. Our man found out that his girlfriend, 21-year-old Risa Yoshii, had traveled thousands of miles from Nagano to Tokyo and had just dropped off at Rice Flower Station. ”

"At this juncture, his girlfriend came to Tokyo?" Officer Twilight frowned. "Matsumoto Administrator, what do you see?"

"Whether or not he is involved in this case, it is necessary for us to arrest this suspect," Matsumoto said after a moment's thought. "We don't have time, Twilight, you take everyone and Officer Yamato on a trip, and you must get this guy back!"

……………………

In the Rice Flower Central Building, Risa Yoshii is leaning against the glass wall next to the elevator, looking at the entrance of the building nonchalantly. In various places near her, the police have set up a very tight encirclement network. As soon as Minoru Fukase appears, they can block all the ways of Minoru Fukase as soon as possible.

"Minoru!" At this moment, Risa Yoshii seemed to see something, and suddenly waved at the entrance of the building, calling Minoru Fukase's name.

At the entrance to the building, a man waved his hand in response to Risa Yoshii's call and climbed the escalator with several children.

Although grabbing someone on the escalator can ensure that Minoru Fukase can't escape, there are children nearby...... Once Minoru Fukase jumps over the wall and hostages them, the police will be very passive. So they had to wait until Minoru Fukase and the children were separated before they could take action - Minoru Fukase was definitely going to come to Risa Yoshii anyway, and they weren't worried about Minoru Fukase running away.

About a minute later, Minoru Fukase made his way up the escalator to Risa Yoshii and parted ways with the other children who continued to ride the escalator.

"Attention Twilight children from Rice Flower, please pay attention to Twilight children from Rice Flower, please go to the information desk on the fourth floor after hearing the announcement, your father is waiting for you here!" Such words suddenly appeared on the radio of the building, and with such a broadcast, the police officers also seemed to have received some task instructions, and slowly moved closer to Minoru Fukase.

Just as Yamamura was holding his police officer ID card with his right hand in his coat pocket, and was about to launch a surprise attack after approaching Minoru Fukase, two small children suddenly frolicked past him, and one of them accidentally hit him head-on, knocking him backwards.

"Ahh Yamamura subconsciously wanted to support the ground with both hands, but the police officer card in his right hand also slipped forward because of this, and slid forward while spinning on the ground, and finally stopped in front of Minoru Fukase, who was stunned while holding Risa Yoshii while watching what was happening here.

“！！！” The police officers who were surrounding from other positions were taken aback and hurriedly rushed over.

"Police, don't move!" Yamato Dasuke was closest to Minoru Fukase, took out his police officer card, and said righteously. "Don't resist senselessly!"

"Cut!" Minoru Fukase immediately realized that the situation was not good, took out a knife from his sleeve, and locked his eyes on the silver-haired young man who was being brought to him by the escalator, holding a car key in one hand and looking at his mobile phone in the other.

“！！！” The silver-haired young man was kidnapped with a knife by Minoru Fukase without any resistance, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Don't come here!" Minoru Fukase's left arm was holding the silver-haired young man's neck, while the right hand holding the knife suddenly stopped in the process of moving the knife to the same height, and with a slight tremble, the right upper arm completely and naturally drooped, leaving only the forearm completely upward, moving the height of the knife down to the position of the heart. "If you dare to come, I will kill him!"

In the process, the silver-haired youth seemed to be frightened silly, and had no desire to resist at all.

"It looks like he has car keys in his hand," Risa Yoshii said, spotting the car keys in the silver-haired youth's hand. "Boy, where is your car parked? Take us there! ”

"Okay." The silver-haired young man hurriedly handed over the car keys in his hand, and then told them where his car was parked.

"Risa, let's go!" Minoru Fukase said to Risa Yoshii, and the two of them then walked towards the escalator.

Because Minoru Fukase has a hostage in his hands, there is no way for them to carry out a surprise attack with Risa Yoshii protecting Minoru Fukase's back. They could only watch Minoru Fukase and Risa Yoshii hold the silver-haired youth hostage and disappear into the safety staircase leading to the underground garage. (I'm sorry, but Conan didn't happen to be passing by this time, so he won't mess in.) ）

Walking down the stairs in accordance with Minoru Fukase's steps, Fujiwara, who was a hostage, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneer of ignorance that seemed to mock Minoru Fukase.
