Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1103 The Third Detective

The car finally fell off the cliff, and Akiyama Shinsuke was naturally dragged down by the rope.

Everyone stood at the edge of the cliff, silently looking at the headless body of Akiyama Shinsuke hanging on a treetop on the cliff, illuminated by the fire from the car explosion.

A detective was murdered right in front of everyone.

Zhu Fu Gaoming said in a deep voice: "Before being dragged off the cliff by the car, Qiu Shan..."

Everyone recalled that in addition to asking for help, Akiyama Shinsuke kept shouting "Cell phone, my cell phone".

Kuroda Bei immediately said: "Call Akiyama's cell phone right now."

Uehara Yui responded and called Akiyama Shinsuke.

Soon, bursts of bells rang in the woods.

Everyone followed the sound and found Akiyama Shinsuke's cell phone on a grassy field.

Zhu Fu Gaoming picked up his phone and checked it. The most concerning thing was a text message he received at 5:32 pm.

This was the text message that made Akiyama Shinsuke say that he wanted to go back and change his clothes after reading it. He did not return to the police station, but came here directly and was brutally murdered.

"I found the cell phone of Takeda, who was murdered at the beginning, in someone's belongings, and he was using that phone to send text messages. Since that person is a police officer, please make up a good excuse and come to the cabin on Mt. Tsuma-nv. We'll tell you the details when we get there."

Zhu Fu Gaoming read out the contents of the text message, and finally lowered his gaze, his eyes slightly focused: "The signature is, Yamato Gansuke."

Uehara Yui was shocked: "You said Xiaogan sent the text message?!"

Sanzhishou's expression was equally grim: "So, it was that bastard who tricked Akiyama here and killed him?!"

Kuroda Bei asked solemnly: "Can we get in touch with Yamato?"

Uehara Yui shook her head: "I called him on the way here, but his phone was turned off."

Sanzhishou shouted, "It must be that bastard who did it. Issue a wanted order immediately!"

Kuroda Bei thought with a gloomy face.

At this time, Yuya suddenly spoke up: "Isn't it too arbitrary to conclude that the murderer is Inspector Yamato now?"

Everyone looked up at Yuya.

Yuya put one hand in his pocket and said slowly, "Indeed, although the signature is Yamato Gansuke, it was not sent from Inspector Yamato's phone. In other words, it is entirely possible that the real murderer sent it using Inspector Takeda's phone."

"Besides, based on my experience of working with Inspector Yamato, even if he is the murderer, he would not leave without looking for such important evidence in his phone, right?"

Conan nodded slightly, he thought so too.

Sanzhishou stared at Yuya and asked unhappily, "Why are you here?"

Yui Uehara quickly explained: "Detective Kamiya came here because he was worried about Officer Akiyama."

"You have sharp observation skills and strong reasoning ability. You can find clues and evidence from points that others have not noticed and solve cases. You are a high school student detective with a 100% crime-solving rate. You are also quite famous in the National Police Agency, Kamiya Yuya."

Kuroda Heibei's voice was a little suppressed, with only the moonlight as illumination, making his expression look a little gloomy. While speaking, he did not forget to glance at Conan.

Conan suddenly felt a huge pressure and couldn't help but shrink behind Yuya, pretending to be scared by the fierce-looking man.

You also raised an eyebrow: "Wow, I didn't expect the police department also knew me?"

Kuroda Heibei pulled up a smile, walked over to Zhufu Gaoming, took the phone, tapped the screen and operated it, saying: "But, it is also possible that we happened to arrive when he was about to look for his phone, and he had no choice but to leave here."

"Or maybe Akiyama just had an idea... You see, I was right."

Kuroda Bei pointed the phone screen at Yuya, who took a closer look and found that it was a blacklist of contacts. In addition to a few harassing calls, Yamato Gansuke's name was on the list.

"Perhaps he sensed that Yamato Gansuke had bad intentions towards him, and in order to prevent the text messages that served as evidence from being deleted, he did this in a hurry."

After being blacklisted, Yamato Gansuke could no longer call Akiyama Shinsuke, so there was no way to find his phone by the ringtone.

Finding a cell phone in the dark is difficult.

Zhu Fu Gaoming closed his eyes and said calmly, "But it is also possible that the murderer did this on purpose in order to make us think so."

Kuroda Bei said coldly: "Yes, I originally thought so, if there was no contact from the Forensic Department."

Uehara Yui was stunned: "Forensic Science? What's going on?"

Kuroda Bei said in a deep voice: "Yamato Gansuke's fingerprints were found on the rope that strangled Takeda."

He turned his head sharply and shouted: "Issue a wanted order for Yamato Gansuke right now!"

"Wait a minute!" Uehara Yui was anxious and explained loudly, "There are fingerprints on the rope. Xiaogan used them to put the person down..."

Kuroda Bei interrupted her directly: "In addition to the upper part of the rope that had to be touched to put the person down, his fingerprints were also found inside the rope loop. This is the evidence that he strangled the person with the rope!"

He turned to look at Zhufu Gaoming: "Zhufu, did Yamato touch the rope around his neck at that time?"

Zhu Fu Gao Ming denied: "No, I stayed next to the body until the forensic officer arrived, and no one touched the rope loop at that time."

Uehara Yui was silent. She didn't know how to continue defending Yamato Gansuke, but she still didn't think he was the murderer.

Kuroda Bei said sternly: "In addition, there are witnesses who claim to have seen someone who looked like Yamato under the bridge where Takeda's body was found. In addition, Yamato was involved in the random shooting nine years ago and the bank robbery six months ago, and he holds a grudge against the Takeda Group."

"To sum up, I think there is nothing wrong with issuing a wanted warrant."

Uehara Yui was anxious: "But, Xiaogan would kill someone..."

Zhu Fu Gao Ming held Uehara Yui's shoulders and shook his head at her: "When handling a case, personal feelings cannot be involved. The greater good should be put first. If you let him escape now, you will regret it in the future."

Uehara Yui fell silent. Indeed, no matter what the truth was, the most important thing now was to find Yamato Gansuke who had lost contact.

Kuroda Heibei immediately ordered the establishment of checkpoints to search for Yamato Gansuke.

"Don't let your guard down just because he's an acquaintance. Treat him as the killer who killed three detectives in a row!"

"Let's go back to the county police headquarters and hold an investigation meeting."

Sanzhishou asked, "What about Akiyama's body?"

Kuroda Bei glanced at the edge of the cliff and said, "The rain made the ground muddy, and there is not enough light at night. Let's wait until daybreak to retrieve the body."
