"Sato-san? What are you doing here?" Marika asked curiously.
"Marikojou, I"m investigating a case here," Sato answered.
"Eh? Really?" Marika was getting excited all of a sudden.
"Marikojou-sama, you can"t join something dangerous," Honda suddenly appeared beside them.
"Don"t worry, I have both of you protecting me," Marika said with a confident smile.
Honda sighed with a helpless expression.
Yuuki only smiled in response.
"H - Hondsan!!!" Sato was surprised to see her.
"It has been a while since Miwako," Honda nodded.
"Yes, I"m happy to see you again," Sato hugged her since both of them graduated at the same time in the police academy. She turned her head and saw him, "Who is this?"
"It has been a while since we met each other and you have forgotten about me," Yuuki took off his gla.s.ses.
"YOU!!!!" Sato was startled and angry at the same time looking at him.
"Do you know each other?" Marika asked.
"Of cour...." Sato wanted to say something but stopped. Both of them had always raced each other during a night when they met by chance. She couldn"t tell her that she was usually moving in her car with a limited speed.
"SATO-SAN!!!"
They turned their heads and saw someone running with a tired expression toward them.
"Takagi, what are you doing?" Sato asked.
"Sato-san, do you forget our mission?" Takagi asked her and noticed someone there, "Ah, Yuuki, and...." He opened his eyes wide, "MARIKOJOU!!!!"
Marika only nodded since she wasn"t sure who this person was.
"That"s right, aren"t you investigating something?" Marika asked.
Sato nodded, "Yes, we are investigating an incident about Hammer Man."
"Hammer Man?" Yuuki and Marika said at the same time.
"Is there an incident that happens in the night where someone was killed by a blunt weapon in their heads?" Honda asked.
Sato nodded, "Yes, from the forensic group, we can tell that the weapon that was used to attack the victim was a hammer, the victims of this incident are four girls and each of them has long hair."
"So what are you doing here?" Yuuki asked.
"We are trying to catch this Hammer Man," Sato said.
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
Suddenly a childish voice joined them.
Yuuki frowned when he heard this voice since he knew it very well.
"Conan, don"t run so suddenly!!!"
"This kid is always making trouble!!!"
"Ah, Marika! Yuuki!" Both of them said at the same time.
Marika turned and surprised, "Oh, Ran? Sonoko?"
"What are you doing here?" Sonoko asked.
""We were on a date but suddenly we were being apprehended," Yuuki said.
"Eh!!!" Ran and Sonoko were surprised.
"He is only teasing you," Conan had a deadpan expression on his face and said, "You guys are on stake out right?"
"No, she is really trying to apprehend us," Yuuki said.
"Eh?" Conan was startled.
Sato was blushing, "Enough of that, but can you guys help us? With this a lot of people, it is easier to stake out on the culprit, there is no way for the culprit to think that everyone in this place is trying to stake out on him."
"Sure, it"s interesting, right? Yuuki-sama?" Marika asked.
"I don"t mind, but why are we here?" Yuuki asked.
Sato pointed her thumb at the apartment behind her, "Yes, someone has seen a Hammer Man entering that apartment."
"HAMMER MAN!!!" Ran and Sonoko were surprised to hear it. Both of them were talking about it earlier but they didn"t expect to hear the police wanted to catch this urban legend.
"Isn"t this an urban legend?" Sonoko asked.
Takagi shook his head, "No, Hammer Man is real and he is only a normal human like us."
"As soon as we were called, we rushed down here and checked the place from top to bottom, most of the residents had an alibi, but one person kept ignoring the doorbell even though they were obviously in." Sato looked at the room that was on the third floor, "It"s whoever in that room on the third floor."
"The landlord got the key, why don"t you break in?" Sonoko asked.
"Not without a warrant," Sato said, helpless.
"But are you sure he is the hammer man? It can be someone who is pretending to be one," Yuuki said.
"No, this isn"t a copycat," Sato said, and added, "When the witness called out the suspect in the park, he ran for it and dropped a b.l.o.o.d.y hammer, we identified the blood of the other three victims who were on it."
"I can"t believe that the witness can keep up with him," Sonoko said.
"I have heard that the Hammer Man can run a 100-meters dash in 11 seconds," Ran said.
""It"s obviously a rumor that the witness is a drunk man and is still able to chase after him," Takagi said.
"But if you know the apartment number, can"t you find out who lives in it?" Conan asked.
"The renter is currently overseas and his parents told us he was letting a friend crash at his place," Takagi said.
"Do you know who this friend is?" Yuuki asked.
Takagi shook his head, "I"m afraid not, according to his neighbor, the friend has a girlfriend living there for a while, but she hasn"t visited him lately, meanwhile the guy stays in all days and only goes out at night."
Takagi sighed, "The neighbor has always said that this person always wears a hoodie or hat, so she doesn"t have a clear description of him."
They were talking with each other until someone suddenly came.
"Sato-san!!!"
"Hmm?" Sato turned her head.
"There is a person who entered the apartment room earlier."
They blinked their eyes several times until they shouted, "WHAT!!!"
