Although Bermod had already guessed that Minoru Fukase was not the murderer, he still planned to confirm what was in his satchel just to be on the safe side.

Unexpectedly, the bag was taken away by a stranger who suddenly appeared.

Who is it?

Probably not the police.

But if not the police, who else would be interested in that satchel?

Belmode was puzzled.

At this moment, the sound of an engine starting came from the huge garage.

Belmode also knew that it was Minoru Fukase's girlfriend who was driving over soon.

Now that my goal has been basically achieved, there is no need to stay any longer.

The police must have set up a dragnet at the exit of the parking lot, so Belmode turned around and walked towards the interior of the mall.

When Minoru Fukase's girlfriend drove over, she saw Minoru Fukase unconscious on the ground alone.

There is also a red mark on his forehead.

…

Parking lot exit.

Qin Zhibo used the invisibility function of [The Lord of the Rings] to easily pass through the police defense.

When he came to an alley a little further away, he opened his satchel and checked the contents inside.

I saw that apart from a change of clothes and daily necessities, the most valuable thing inside was a small wad of banknotes, about 120,000 yen.

None of the items missing from the six victims were found in this satchel.

Qin Zhibo took out the useful banknotes, found a nearby trash can to throw away the remaining items, and quickly left the scene.

When he came to the opposite side of the Rice Flower Shopping Mall again, Minoru Fukase and his girlfriend had been handcuffed by the police.

When Li Yuan looked at Megure, he seemed to really think that Fukase Minoru was the murderer of the serial murder case, and his expression was very serious.

However, according to Qin Zhibo's observation and judgment, there is a high probability that Minoru Fukase is not the murderer.

Moreover, the fact that the murderer took away each victim's personal belongings is also very strange.

Because if the murderer doesn't get rid of these things, these things themselves are very deadly evidence.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo felt that the murderer's plan might have something else to it.

…

Mihua Shopping Mall, in front of the parking lot.

Sato couldn't help but frown as he looked at Minoru Fukase being escorted into the police car.

When she arrested Fukase Minoru just now, she searched around but could not find the satchel that Fukase Minoru was carrying when he entered the mall.

Moreover, even the hostages he held disappeared inexplicably.

Combined with Qin Zhibo's words that there was a mole in the police station who revealed the police's arrest operation, Sato immediately thought that this should be the work of the mole.

The so-called "hostage" must have been deliberately arranged by the insider.

Who is it?

Sato glanced at the colleagues around him who were dealing with the commotion at the scene, and a trace of scrutiny flashed in his serious eyes.

At this moment, Megure received a call from Manager Matsumoto.

"I am Megure..."

"...Yes, I understand, I will make arrangements right away."

Megure hung up the phone and immediately shouted: "Sato! Takagi!"

Sato and Takagi rushed over in response.

Megure said: "A painter named Shindo Sumire in Hachioji City reported to the police, saying that she knew who the murderer of the serial murders was. You should rush there immediately!"

"yes!"

Takagi immediately nodded solemnly.

Sato next to him was stunned after hearing this.

Qin Zhibo was really right, someone would actually surrender...

Megure saw something wrong with Sato's expression, so he asked: "Sato, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing..."

"Then you go quickly."

"yes!"

Sato and Takagi took the order to leave. As soon as they got into the police car, Sato sent the situation to Qin Zhibo in the form of a text message.

At the same time, Qin Zhibo received the content of the text message.

[Someone who claims to be an insider is in Hachioji City. The detailed address will be told to you later.]

When Qin Zhibo read the content of the text message, he knew that what he expected had happened.

Fearing that they will be the killer's next target, the remaining victims will definitely seek protection from the police.

In order to reach the destination before the members of the organization, Qin Zhibo quickly returned to the underground garage of Mihua Shopping Mall and drove out in his convertible Mustang.

Beside the big tree not far from the exit of the parking lot, a pair of eyes were silently watching the convertible going away.

…

On the highway, a white Nissan Skyline ER34 sped past with its siren roaring.

In order to find the insider of the case before the mole, Sato, who has better driving skills, drove the car this time, and Takagi sat in the co-pilot.

"that……"

"Officer Sato, are you driving too fast?"

Takagi was wearing his seat belt, holding the handle above with one hand, and cautiously asked Sato next to him.

The speed pointer on the car's dashboard has reached 100, which is considered speeding.

If it weren't for the fact that he was driving Takagi's car, which had limited performance, Sato would have already reached over 120.

Although this is for handling a case and there is certain immunity, it is just to meet an insider, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.

However, in the face of Takagi's questions, Sato remained silent and concentrated on the road ahead.

But suddenly, the front end of the vehicle suddenly sank, and the front of the vehicle began to swing from side to side uncontrollably.

"ah!"

"What's going on!"

Takagi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, screamed and was frightened by the sudden bump.

On the contrary, Sato was calmer.

She immediately realized that the tire had burst, so she quickly stabilized the steering wheel and slowly pulled the car to the side of the road while applying the brakes.

After more than ten seconds, the roar of the car finally stopped, and Takagi's car slowly stopped in the emergency lane on the side of the road.

Sato quickly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car to check, only to find that both front tires had burst.

But when I looked back at the road, I saw that the road we had just driven on was flat and other cars could pass safely, but their car had a flat tire.

Looking up again, I saw a dark blue car just starting to drive away on the overpass above the highway.

Sato immediately realized that the tire probably did not burst by himself.

The only way to remotely blow out a tire is to snipe...

At this time, Takagi was still checking the condition of the tires, wondering why the tires he had just replaced blew out so quickly.

"Takagi! Call Shiratori immediately!"

"ah?"

"Call quickly!"

Sato shouted sharply, and Takagi was frightened and went to do it immediately.

On the phone, Sato told the police about the flat tire and asked the Metropolitan Police Department to send another person to Hachioji City.

Since he was not sure whether Shiratori was a mole or not, Sato could not reveal what he knew.

But even if we send someone else now, it will definitely not be as fast as the people on the inside.

So Sato asked Shiratori again for the detailed address of the insider.

After getting the address, she sent the address to Qin Zhibo in the form of a text message.
