Chapter 98: Amulet Made by Ms. Shiho

When we arrived at Minoo Mountain, it was completely dark and a light drizzle was falling.

Many police officers have arrived and are searching.

Several people got out of the car and came to a white sedan.

Otaki Goro asked the police officer beside him: "Did you find anything?"

The police officer shook his head and said, "When we found it, only the car was hidden in the bushes. We didn't find Kiichiro Numabuchi himself."

Otaki Goro nodded and asked, "Has anyone seen Sakata Yusuke?"

Police said no one saw it.

Youya walked around the car and found an iron bucket in the grass not far away. There were quite a few receipts in it that were not completely burned.

"Is this a receipt from a convenience store?" Conan poked his head out to observe. "The dates are five days ago, three days ago, and yesterday."

Yuya stroked his chin: "This means that Kiichiro Numabuchi is here, and..."

Conan: "Someone has been bringing him food, or..."

Hattori Heiji: "He is under house arrest, and the people who are holding him are bringing him food."

The three detectives spoke one by one, leaving Otaki Goro standing next to them stunned.

Of course he knew about Hattori Heiji, but what about the other boy and this child?

He asked tentatively: "Heiji, these two..."

"Ah!" Hattori Heiji introduced with a smile, "This is Kamiya Yuya, a very famous high school detective in Tokyo, no worse than me!"

Yuya's mouth twitched slightly. Not worse than you? It seems that Hattori, your face is as deep as your skin color.

Hattori Heiji pointed at Conan and said, "As for this little brat, just treat him as Kamiya's little follower."

Conan lowered his eyes and looked speechless. Hattori Heiji didn't expect you to be such a person.

Otaki Goro suddenly realized that he was a detective like Heiji, no wonder.

The three detectives turned their heads and looked towards a wooden house not far away. They said, "Let's go. Kiichiro Numabuchi is in there."

Otaki Goro still trusted Hattori Heiji very much, and immediately called a few police officers to follow him.

Everyone entered the wooden house.

A police officer said: "We have searched this place and found some signs of people coming in and out, but..."

Yuya looked around, then looked up at the ceiling and smiled, "Have you searched up there?"

"above?"

Everyone looked up and saw that the ceiling was flat and there was no sign of any stairs or anything like that.

Yuya explained: "The height of the ceiling does not match the height of the wooden house. There is a big deviation. In addition, for such an old wooden house, the beam is very clean, unlike other places where there are cobwebs. I guess there should be a secret room up there."

Otaki Goro yelled at the police: "Quick, search immediately!"

"Yes!"

The police officer quickly brought a ladder, placed it on the beam, climbed up and fumbled on the ceiling for a while. He immediately found a loose wooden board. With a push, a hole appeared.

"Inspector, this leads to the upper level!" the police officer shouted, then shone the flashlight around and shouted in surprise, "Inspector! I found Kiichiro Numabuchi!"

"Really up there?"

Otaki Goro was extremely surprised and immediately climbed up the ladder. When he shone his flashlight, he found Numabuchi Kiichiro hiding in the corner.

“Numabuchi!” Otaki Goro roared, and jumped up swiftly, “Numabuchi Kiichiro! I’m arresting you for robbery and murder!”

Seeing someone coming up, Kiichiro Numabuchi shouted, "Food, please, give me something to eat!"

"Huh?" Otaki Goro shone the flashlight and found that Numabuchi Kiichiro was handcuffed to a pillar by someone.

The two and a half detectives waited for a while downstairs, and then they saw Otaki Goro coming out, escorting a thin man with long cheekbones and sunken eye sockets.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Next, it's Soutarou Gosho. But there's no need to worry about his safety. Let's think about where to find Officer Sakata." Conan said.

Yuya and Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement.

"Hurry up!" Seeing that Numabuchi Kiichiro was walking slowly, Otaki Goro could not help but push him to urge him.

Kiichiro Numabuchi stumbled and fell into a pile of debris on the ground with a thud.

Otaki Goro panicked. He looked at his hands and thought to himself, "Didn't I use enough force just now? Is this robber and murderer so weak?"

He was worried and wanted to help him, because if anything happened to the prisoner, he would be scolded by his superiors.

"Swish!" A cold light flashed, and Kiichiro Numabuchi took out a knife from somewhere, turned around and swung it hard at Goro Otaki.

Otaki Goro reacted quickly and leaned back to avoid the attack.

Kiichiro Numabuchi smiled cruelly, roared, and rushed towards the door in an attempt to escape.

The three people who were discussing heard the sound and looked over, and were shocked to see Kiichiro Numabuchi rushing towards them with a knife.

Yuya's eyes narrowed, he pushed Hattori Heiji away and kicked Conan away, then dodged Numabuchi Kiichiro with his body to the side, and stretched out his left foot while dodging.

Kiichiro Numabuchi rushed forward without noticing the obstacle under his feet. He tripped and fell, and the knife in his hand flew out of his hand.

Otaki Goro roared, "Catch him!"

The police officer nearby immediately rushed over and pinned Kiichiro Numabuchi to the ground.

Otaki Goro ran over and asked anxiously: "Are you guys okay?"

Yuya looked relieved: "I'm fine."

Hattori Heiji touched his back which had hit the wall, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine too."

"Can you help me?"

The three of them turned around in surprise, only to see Conan lying pitifully in the corner with his head down and his feet up.

Yuya held back his laughter, ran over to help him up, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Conan covered his butt and looked at Yuya resentfully: "It's okay... But can you not kick so hard next time?"

Yuya tried hard not to let the corners of his mouth rise: "Sorry, the situation is urgent and there is no time to think about it."

Conan rubbed his butt and said nothing more. He knew that You kicked him just now to save him, otherwise he would have been stabbed and died.

Otaki Goro heaved a sigh of relief and said, "We are going to take Kiichiro Numabuchi back. You can take our car and go with us."

The three nodded and followed Otaki Goro.

On the way, Otaki Goro briefly questioned Numabuchi Kiichiro and was shocked to hear from him that the serial killer was indeed Sakata Yusuke, and he also learned about his plan.

Yusuke Sakata wanted to kill the six people who were training for the license exam that year to avenge his father. He planned to kill the other five people first, and then disguise Kiichiro Numabuchi as committing suicide out of fear of crime, and put all the blame on him.

"!" The three looked at each other in shock.

Hattori Heiji shouted anxiously: "Hurry, hurry to Xiangsi Sotaro's house!"

"I know! It's heading that way!" Otaki Goro roared.

"Hey! This is Otaki, send someone to Councillor Gosei's house immediately, the serial killer wants to kill him!"

···

Nostalgia for Sotaro's House

Otaki Goro galloped all the way and finally arrived at Xiangsi Soutarou's home.

"What did you say? Someone is missing?!" Otaki Goro yelled at a police officer.

The police officer was sweating profusely: "We came here as soon as possible, but when we arrived, Councillor Xiang Si had already disappeared. We couldn't find him anywhere."

Just then, Otaki Goro's cell phone rang.

"Hello? Sakata! Where are you!" Otaki Goro yelled into the phone, "What did you say? Heiji?"

Otaki Goro looked at Hattori Heiji and handed him the phone.

Hattori Heiji immediately took the phone: "Hello?"

"Brother Heiji, you have caught Kiichiro Numabuchi, right?" The voice on the other end of the phone was that of Yusuke Sakata.

"Yes, where are you?" Hattori Heiji asked in a deep voice.

Sakata Yusuke sighed deeply: "I didn't expect that the plan I had made would be ruined by your friend named Kamiya Yuya."

The plan started to fall apart when Yuya grabbed Okazaki Sumie.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but look at Yuya, who looked puzzled.

"Sakata, where are you? There's still time to stop." Hattori Heiji shouted into the phone.

"It's too late," Sakata Yusuke sighed, "I want to apologize to you. In fact, I took the initiative to pick you up today because..."

Yuya leaned over to the phone and listened for a while, then whispered to Otaki Goro, "I hear the sound of waves, let's go to the nearest beach quickly, preferably one with cliffs."

Otaki Goro thought about it, nodded silently, turned and walked towards the car.

Yuya winked at Hattori Heiji and mouthed "delay time".

Hattori Heiji nodded.

Several people followed Otaki Goro into the car and drove quickly towards the nearest beach.

···

The car soon arrived at the nearest beach, and just as Yuya said, they found Sakata Yusuke and Sotaro Goshi on the edge of a cliff.

When Yusuke Sakata saw everyone coming, he threw away his phone and put a gun to Sotaro Gosaki's head.

Xiang Si Zongtaro's hands were tied behind his back and a piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth. He immediately made a terrified "mumble" sound.

Everyone stopped immediately and confronted each other from a distance.

Sakata Yusuke was very surprised and said: "I didn't expect you to find this place."

Otaki Goro said in a deep voice: "It was Kamiya who deduced that you were here."

Sakata Yusuke looked at Yuya: "It seems that you are much more capable than what Heiji said. How did you guess that I was here?"

Yuya said calmly, "I heard the sound of waves on the phone, so I came to the beach to try my luck. I didn't expect to find you."

Sakata Yusuke smiled and said, "It seems that you are much more powerful than what Brother Heiji said."

Otaki Goro yelled, "Sakata, it's not too late for you to stop now!"

Sakata Yusuke smiled bitterly: "Stop? It's too late. From the moment I killed the first person, I was on a path of no return."

Yusuke Sakata slowly narrated how he accidentally caught Kiichiro Numabuchi on the mountain of Minoyama.

Because Yusuke Sakata looks very similar to his father, Kiichiro Numabuchi, who has been on the run for a long time and is somewhat mentally confused, mistakes Yusuke Sakata for the ghost of his coach Tetsuji Inaba who is seeking his life, and in horror he tells the truth about the accident 20 years ago.

The truth of the accident is no different from what Sumie Okazaki said.

"The statute of limitations for murder is 15 years. Since the law cannot punish them, I have no choice but to give them the punishment they deserve with my own hands!" Sakata Yusuke said angrily, and pointed his gun hard at Gosei Sotaro.

Xiangsi Sotaro immediately let out a terrified groan.

Sakata Yusuke looked at everyone and said to Hattori Heiji: "Brother Heiji, I'm sorry."

Hattori Heiji took a step forward angrily: "Sakata! Are your actions worthy of the police uniform you are wearing?!"

Sakata Yusuke showed a desperate expression: "So, after I kill Xiangsi Sotaro, I will immediately use this gun to commit suicide to atone for my sins..."

"Asshole!" Hattori Heiji roared, "You are the only police officer in Japan who is allowed to carry a gun! Why aren't you proud of it!"

"Don't you see that the cherry blossom emblem on the police handbook on your chest is crying for you?"

"That's enough, stop talking!" Sakata Yusuke's defense was instantly broken, tears streaming down his face. He looked at Xiangsi Sotaro with despair in his eyes, "There's no way I can turn back..."

Slowly apply force with your fingers...

Youye's eyes focused, and he moved his right hand. A flying knife fell into his palm, and just when he was about to throw it out.

"Squat down!"

Everyone was startled and squatted down subconsciously.

Yusuke Sakata instinctively turned his head to look, but before he could come to his senses, he felt something hit his hand hard and the gun flew out of his hand.

Seeing this, Otaki Goro immediately wanted to rush forward with his hands held high.

Yusuke Sakata gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his hand, and dragged Xiangsi Sotaro to the edge of the cliff. He looked back, and resolutely pulled his enemy down.

"Sakata!" Hattori Heiji rushed to the edge of the cliff and leaned over to look, all he saw were the surging waves.

Youye was silent for a moment. Looking at the situation, even if he didn't drown, he would be thrown onto the rocks and crushed to death, right?

Hattori Heiji pounded the ground angrily.

Conan's face was gloomy. He thought he could save the two people by kicking the pistol away, but he didn't expect that Sakata Yusuke would be so decisive and directly jumped off the cliff with his people.

Yuya patted Conan's head and whispered, "Don't feel guilty. This is not your fault."

Conan rarely slapped Yuya's hand away: "I know..." and then he sighed softly.

Yuya looked off into the distance and whispered, "Perhaps this is a suitable ending for him."

Although the original animation did not explain Yusuke Sakata's ending, he killed four people. Especially as a police officer, he broke the law knowingly. According to Japanese law, he is probably going to be sentenced to death, and no one can save him.

···

Osaka Station

Hattori Heiji scratched his head and said with a guilty look: "I'm sorry, I originally invited you to come to Osaka to play, but you encountered a case again."

Youye smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it. It's the same every time you come to see us."

Hattori Heiji said with a straight face: "What do you mean?"

Conan waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry about it. He always says the same thing about me, saying that every time I'm with him, there will be a case."

The corners of Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched wildly.

Yuya looked at Conan sideways; "Was there anything wrong with what I said?"

Conan's face darkened and he argued, "You're talking nonsense! I was summoned by the case!"

Youye rolled his eyes. "You're just kidding. If you were the one solving the case, that would be fine, but the case happened right in front of you, and you were summoned by the case? Which god knew the case was going to happen and called you over in advance?"

Conan fell silent for a moment. He thought about it carefully and found that what Yuya said seemed...maybe...probably right?

Could it be that he really caused the case to happen?

Conan got on the Shinkansen with a gloomy face.

"Let's go, come to Tokyo some other day!" Youye waved his hand.

"Kazuha, you must come to Tokyo to play!" Ran Mouri waved to Kazuha Toyama.

"I know!" Yuanshan Heye smiled.

Youya asked in surprise: "Xiaolan, when did you become so close to her?"

Mao Lilan thought for a moment and said, "While you were busy investigating the case, I chatted with Kazuha and Mio, and we became familiar with each other."

Yuya was stunned. Even Mio was mentioned? She is indeed Mao Lilan.

After finding their respective seats and sitting down, Youya closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.

"For you." Miyano Shiho called him softly.

Youya opened his eyes and looked at the fist extended by Miyano Shiho in confusion. He spread out his hands and a red brocade bag fell into his palm.

"This is..." Yuya picked up the bag and took a look, and found the words "御守り" written on it.

"Yuyama taught me to do it." Miyano Shiho turned her face away and said in a low voice.

Yuya immediately smiled brightly, "Really? What's in it?"

Miyano Shiho pursed her lips and said, "It won't work if I say it out loud."

Yuya groaned, hung it on his chest and stuffed it into his clothes happily, patted his chest and said, "This way, Miss Shiho can always protect me!"

Miyano Shiho secretly glanced at Yuya, and seeing his smiling face, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly raised: Idiot, it was you who was protecting me all the time...
