The night after Jiang Xia called the police.
Conan took the other three naughty children and followed the treasure map. Finally, I successfully found a building with "Oni Sakura" written on it.
At this time, let alone the three first-grade children.
Even Conan was secretly excited when he thought of the massive gold coins that were enough to take a bath. After all, in the final analysis, he is just a 17-year-old plus-sized kid.
Several naughty kids cheered, and Conan took the lead and ran into the building excitedly.
However, the moment he entered the door, a figure suddenly reached out against the wall, grabbed Conan into his arms, and covered his mouth.
It was already night and the environment was very dark.
The other three children didn't notice anything unusual and foolishly ran in after Conan.
...Then one after another they were captured by ambushes.
Conan struggled desperately and stared at this scene with a pale face.
Several tall figures lurking in ambush, plus the fact that this was a treasure trove... He instantly thought of the group of international thieves on the run.
Conan gritted his teeth and looked at the culprits in front of him. According to the usual practice, the "robbers" should sneer at this time, then take out the pistol, click the gun, point it at their heads, and ask them where the treasure is...
Sure enough, the next second, Conan saw the big man in a suit grabbing him and showing him a sinister expression that was half-smiling.
The big man put his rough hands into his pocket and took out...
A police card.
Conan: "...?"
"Children." The police officer tried his best to smile at the naughty children with dark circles under his eyes from working overtime, "Don't be afraid, we are the police."
…
Sato Miwako emerged from the shadows and asked four children to be led to the side.
She herself continued to squat at the door, suspiciously ambushing the few robbers who might follow the children into the building based on the information provided by "Anonymous".
Within a few minutes, three Italian robbers actually showed up.
…
Although the robbers were tall and armed with guns, their force value was obviously not good enough.
Sato kicked two of them away. Even Takagi knocked down the other one without much effort.
The robber was defeated instantly and was handcuffed and escorted to the police station in despair.
…
Sato breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to the four children and planned to take them back to the Metropolitan Police Department.
But the children refused to follow her.
Conan even said something astonishing: "The fifteen thousand stolen gold coins are hidden in this building!"
After he finished speaking, he saw Sato Miwako, who showed a surprised expression as expected.
But soon, Conan was surprised to find that Officer Sato was not surprised that there was a treasure on the roof, but was wondering why the children knew this.
Sato Miwako bent down and touched the heads of the naughty children: "Thank you for the information, but the gold coins are no longer here. Come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us first, and we will talk about other things later."
——Yesterday, after receiving an alarm call from “Anonymous”. Because it concerned an internationally wanted criminal, the police rushed to the building immediately and searched the building inside and out.
However, no stolen gold coins were found, and only a few discarded empty bags were found on the top floor.
…
Sato Miwako led four confused naughty children back to the Metropolitan Police Department. The internationally wanted criminals were taken to the other side.
The treatment on both sides was completely different. The children sat in a spacious and comfortable office and were fed biscuits and hot tea.
But Conan was in no mood for cookies.
What he is more concerned about now is why the police ambushed the building and knew that the gangsters were following them.
This question was quickly answered.
…
Takagi took a notebook and asked several children: "Have you ever seen a person who calls himself 'Anonymous'?"
Now the robber has been caught, but the stolen goods are gone. In this regard, "Anonymous" is very suspicious.
"No." Conan pondered what Officer Takagi said and gradually understood, "Did 'Anonymous' tell you that the robbers would go to Onizakura Building? And he mentioned us?"
Takagi glanced at him in surprise.
Originally, he was worried that the child would not understand the situation. Unexpectedly, he only asked one question, and the child immediately understood the cause and effect.
Takagi Wataru: "..." No, if you think about it carefully, it may be because these children have come into contact with Anonymous, so they immediately think of her!
Officer Takagi felt refreshed and felt that he would gain a lot.
He took the voice recorder, played an anonymous alarm recording to the children, and asked expectantly:
"It's a voice like this, have you ever heard it?"
However,
Contrary to what Takagi thought, all four children shook their heads.
…
The voice in the recording is very nice, with an indescribable rhythm, and is highly recognizable.
Conan was very sure that he had never heard such a sound.
However, just because you haven't heard Anonymous speak, doesn't mean you haven't seen her.
Conan thought: Maybe this afternoon, when the young detective team was hunting for treasure with the treasure map, they happened to be seen by Anonymous. Therefore, she made the assumption that "the children were searching for treasures and found the building, and were followed by robbers", and made the prophetic call to the police.
That is to say...
Conan's eyes lit up: Through this, he can reversely determine the scope of Anonymous's actions today!
——Conan has a very strong sense of observation, and he always pays attention to time during the treasure hunt.
He can remember what time he was and roughly where he was.
In other words, as long as the time when Anonymous called the police was compared with the location of his treasure hunt this afternoon, we can determine the time period and where Anonymous appeared. Then look for nearby surveillance and find relevant clues.
The more Conan thought about it, the more feasible it became.
He pushed up his glasses and asked calmly: "What time did she call the police?"
"This...wait a moment."
Takagi glanced at the information and quickly replied: "Yesterday morning at 9:17."
The fighting spirit in Conan's eyes flickered and froze.
He stayed for two seconds, suspecting that he heard wrongly: "Yesterday??"
