Details flashed through his mind quickly, and combined with the voice he heard outside the alley, Ye Gengji took less than two breaths to come to a conclusion.
...Hurry up and go, something bad will happen if you encounter Conan.
However, he couldn't take a few steps yet.
The restaurant door creaked open, and a middle-aged man who looked about 50 years old walked in.
Ye Gengyi looked at the other person up and down habitually.
Medium to fat build.
Gray suit, white shirt, no tie or bow tie. The leather shoes on his feet are polished. From the heel to the angle of the ankle joint and calf, it can be judged that the shoes are not the height-increasing type, so the visual height is about 170 cm. about.
In addition, the faint smell of perfume wafting from the other party's body, as well as the degree of wear and tear on the collar and cuffs, as well as the hair style, eyebrow corners, nose hair, and clean shave can be seen.
This person should have a more respectable job, um... there are no sun marks on his skin, he works indoors, and his back is straight, but it doesn't look like he is deliberately pretending.
Is it a subtle display of temperament?
The position should be above that of an ordinary social worker and belong to the leadership level of a certain small group.
Of course, Ye Gengyi was not entirely sure of this speculation from the beginning.
Because it can't be ruled out that the other party is just a fairly self-disciplined person who likes to be clean, until he saw the stain on the right thigh of the middle-aged man's pants.
This shape cannot be said to have nothing to do with the detective armband, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
Genta's ice cream...well, that mysterious person is you.
So could it be you who was on the phone in the alley just now?
But why didn’t we go to the Peak Station?
Lost him... or a gang committed the crime, or the person who picked up Detective Bumi's armband was really just an ordinary tourist.
A series of thoughts flashed through Ye Gengyi's mind.
In less than ten seconds, the middle-aged man passed by him and Conan jumped off the sofa to come over and ask about the situation.
Ye Geng suddenly turned sideways and raised his foot. The middle-aged man was unprepared. His body instantly lost his balance and he fell top-heavy to the ground.
As expected, there is no gun, so that will be easy.
I thought there would be no danger to Xiaolan and the child... The hem of his clothes floating in the wind confirmed Ye Gengyi's guess.
The next second.
He reached out and grabbed the middle-aged man's collar, and using a set of gentle handling movements that were very familiar to Conan, he put the man on the ground and quickly put the other person's left arm on his back and his right arm. The arm pressed directly on the left arm and held it down.
The whole thing happened in full view of everyone, and everyone was stunned.
Before they could react, Ye Gengyi had already taken out the mobile phone from the middle-aged man's pocket, confirmed the time of the call record on it, turned his head very calmly, and said to Conan who came over with a confused look on his face:
"Call the police."
This was too arrogant to say... Everyone was in a daze again.
Suddenly, there was a sense of déjà vu as if armed robbers broke into the bank, shot and killed a hostage, and then forced the employees to press the alarm bell.
After hearing these words, the middle-aged man lying on the ground began to struggle violently:
"Let me go! Let me go quickly!"
Ye Gengyi ignored him at all, but looked at the shivering waiter at the checkout counter, "Is there a rope? Tape is fine too."
Hey, I feel more and more professional!
The tourists were complaining wildly in their hearts, but since Ye Gengyi did not pull out a pistol to rob the cashier, they were still in a wait-and-see state.
"Brother Gengyi, what is going on?" Conan came back to his senses and decided to ask clearly first.
"He was the one who followed Xiaolan before." Ye Gengyi said.
Eh? !
Conan was stunned, "It's Mr. Puchi?"
Puchi?
Ye Gengyi asked: "Do you know each other?"
"Uh... I guess. Mr. Kamachi is the director of an art museum affiliated to President Tabashi's company..."
Conan briefly told the time when Hina disappeared and the theft of the 'Rainbow Child' statue in the art museum. At the end, he couldn't help but wonder:
"Brother Gengyi, what clues did you find?"
So that's it... Ye Geng nodded and said, "Listening to what you said, except who his accomplices are, we almost know the motive and evidence."
What? !
Conan's mouth opened wide in disbelief, and the little soul in his body roared crazily.
Do you dare to exaggerate a little more... Hattori and Uncle should still be on their way to the mountaintop station. You have solved the case now?
The key point is, why can’t I deduce nothing from the clues provided? !
He wanted to ask, but Ye Geng just acted like he didn't want to talk more.
Then, a certain detective watched helplessly as the professor, who clearly had a criminal temperament, borrowed rope and tape from the front desk and tied up Director Kamaiike skillfully.
Call the police.
At the same time, Conan did not forget to inform President Tabuse and Hattori Heiji of the situation here.
"What!? Brother Gengyi has already caught the suspect, but... didn't he go to the Peak Station?" A certain black man was surprised.
You ask me, I ask who to go to... Conan sighed and whispered: "We have already called the police. Anyway, you and uncle should go to the top of the mountain station to check first. The fact that Xiaolan has not answered the phone still makes me a little concerned. …”
…
15 minutes later.
President Tianbusi and the police rushed to the restaurant one after another. The leading police officer was a stranger.
Under Conan's expectant gaze, Ye Gengyi simply and violently used Director Puchi's cell phone to dial the nearest number in the address book.
"...Yo? Puchi, why did you call me so quickly? Has the statue been sold? I didn't expect you to raise money quite quickly."
A streamy, unfocused voice came from the receiver.
Selling statues... When Conan heard this keyword, he understood it instantly.
Director Puchi also lowered his head without taking any chances.
The museum's shortfall, coupled with the fact that the 'Rainbow Child' was stolen, left him completely unable to quibble.
"Damn it, Puchi! I'm sorry I trust you so much!"
President Tianbusi grabbed his collar angrily, "Where's Hina? Where's the Children of Rainbow? What did you do to them!"
"Because you, the president, entrusted a famous detective to help with the investigation, I was afraid of being found out, so I found a freelance writer who had reported on our art museum, gave him a sum of money, and asked him to help follow Haruna..." Director Puchi answered truthfully.
Freelance writer... A person's face flashed quickly in Conan's mind:
"Is his name Tang Yuan Xinyi?"
"Ah, that's right...that's him." Director Puchi nodded.
Conan immediately took out his cell phone and called Hattori Heiji again and informed the other party of this clue.
Is it necessary to be so nervous?
Ye Gengyi casually went to the front desk to order a cup of coffee, and made it clear to the leading police officer that he was a 'technical expert' and that he did not want to go to the police station to take notes.
After all, I just came here to relax after soaking in the hot springs and shopping.
The rest of the time should be left to President Tian Busi, after all, he is the person involved.
