It was noon.
The hustle and bustle of the long street of Yoneka Town is crowded with people.
Amidst the noise caused by the car engine, Ye Gengyi walked out of the ramen shop, walked to the vending machine, and put in coins to buy a can of instant coffee.
Although he declined Little Radar’s invitation to go out for a buffet together, he still had to eat.
In addition, if he is alone, he doesn't want to waste time cleaning up kitchen debris.
Simply, I might as well eat out these days and take a walk to soothe my mind.
In fact, he had completed the data collection on wind speed two days ago.
Coincidentally, on the same day, Little Radar, who was inquiring about the progress of scientific research but actually complaining about the decline in food quality these days, also called Ye Gengyi to ask when he would be back.
However, he still delayed it until today on the grounds that the project was not over yet.
The reason is not complicated... The FBI came to Mihua Town.
The news came from Gin.
It is said that "that person" seems to be very concerned about the progress of the matter. Of course... the focus of attention is naturally the FBI, or more accurately, "Kiel's" loyalty.
Has the FBI come to Miwa Town?
In other words, people from the organization are also here... Although Ye Gengyi initially planned to analyze it this way, but then, when he saw words like "secret investigation" from the content of the email, it suddenly dawned on him. Come back to your senses.
It turns out that the person in the so-called organization is himself.
Well, to be precise, he is still the commander of this "secret investigation" operation.
What should we ask them to do today?
Ye Gengyi fumbled for his cell phone in his pocket, and suddenly he saw a familiar figure scratching his head in front of him, with "I'm useless" written all over his face.
Japan is really small... He sighed in his heart and continued to walk forward leisurely.
"Huh?" Takagi Wataru's eyes lit up and he was the first to say hello, "Mr. Ye! What a coincidence."
"Yeah, what a coincidence." Ye Geng nodded, stood there and paused for a few seconds, then walked naturally and passed by the other person, "Goodbye."
How about being so efficient?
Takagi Shebo sweated, turned around and caught up, and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Ye, have you found any suspicious people nearby before?"
"Suspicious person?"
Ye Gengyi stood still again, glanced critically at the gray suit police officer in front of him, and said:
"The buttons on the cuffs were unbuttoned, and there were obvious wrinkles on the collar, but the hair was not messed up, and the face and stubble were trimmed cleanly, indicating that it was not caused by snoozing. There were traces of being stepped on on one of the leather shoes. But you are not out of breath, there is not much sweat on your forehead, and you are looking around blankly... You were arresting someone before, and then the other person broke away and ran away?"
"Well……"
Takagi Wataru opened his mouth in surprise.
Because everything has been said.
"The fact that you were able to catch the other party shows that there is no problem in terms of ability. The flaw lies in not restricting the other party's movements with handcuffs in the first place..."
Ye Gengyi patted Takagi Wataru on the shoulder: "But... you are so careless, which means that the possibility of that person being a murderer is very low. Take your time to find it."
"Mr. Ye, you are so powerful, you won't be delayed for too long. Please help me!"
Takagi Wataru grabbed someone's arm and refused to let him go.
"First tell me what happened?" Ye Geng asked with dead eyes.
As a cadre who is performing organizational tasks, he can encounter incidents just by going out for lunch. As expected, the criminal city of Miwa Town is still a bit evil.
"Oh, that's it..."
Seeing this, Takagi Wataru hurriedly recounted what happened.
About a few minutes ago.
He happened to pass by that section of the road and saw a group of people gathering together. When he got closer, he found that it was two men arguing.
One said another man was caught stealing from him.
But the other person refused to admit it and refused to search him.
So Takagi Wataru revealed his identity as a police officer, and the thief was shocked on the spot, and then...
"Then he broke free from my hand and ran away."
"At that time, when you held him, were you as tight as you were holding me?" Ye Gengyi looked at his arm pointedly.
"Ah! Sorry..."
Gao Mushe blushed, quickly let go, and said awkwardly: "...I chased you all the way here, but still lost you. When I was at a loss, I saw Mr. Ye walking away from here. come over."
"That's it..."
Ye Gengyi turned to look at the intersection, roughly estimated the distance, and asked, "What about his appearance, do you still remember it?"
"Well," Takagi Wataru hesitated, "because he was wearing a hat and a big scarf around his neck, so I..."
"Don't hesitate, Officer Takagi. You are a detective. You should act decisively and decisively! Just say you don't remember next time."
Ye Gengyi interrupted directly and turned his gaze from the intersection to the store on one side of the street, "Follow me."
Not long after.
He and Takagi Wataru came to the door of a video store.
Ye Gengyi said: "You go in, I'll wait outside."
"Huh? Did that person run in here?"
Takagi Sheba was surprised, "Why? Mr. Ye, how did you know?"
"I don't know. Look above..." Ye Gengyi pointed to the camera on the door frame, "It knows."
Takagi Wataru: "..."
…
A few minutes later.
Takagi Wataru walked out of the store and said he saw the man wearing a hat and scarf running past in the surveillance footage.
The search scope was shortened again.
Later, Ye Gengyi, who had been paying attention to the road section, asked Takagi Wataru to check several shops one by one, starting from the video store and leading to the ramen shop.
Then he successfully found the thief who was in a panic because he was being chased by the police in the toilet of a convenience store.
It turns out to be so simple...
Takagi Wataru did not dare to be careless this time, and hurriedly contacted the nearby police car. After escorting the thief aboard, he realized belatedly that he could actually solve this problem himself.
Of course hindsight is not advisable.
After some sincere thanks.
Just when Takagi Wataru was about to take the police car back to the Metropolitan Police Department, the command station's call came again on the radio:
"Police officers near the New Rice Blossom Building, please pay attention. The main station received a report. The caller said that someone was shot on the 39th floor of the building. Please go to the rescue immediately and wait for the Criminal Investigation Division to investigate..."
Shooting?
Ye Geng raised his eyebrows and quietly approached the police car.
Takagi Wataru, who had just sat in the passenger seat, also picked up the walkie-talkie and replied:
"I am Wataru Takagi from the Investigation Section 1 of the Criminal Division. I happened to be conducting an investigation nearby. Please tell me if you have anything to say!"
"Ah? Officer Takagi, the situation is like this..." The operator of the walkie-talkie was stunned, and after he came to his senses, he quickly told the details of the situation.
The person who called the police, the woman who discovered the body, was the secretary of a talent scouting company located on the 39th floor of the New Mihua Building.
Just a few minutes ago, she returned to the office to find the president sitting in his office chair covered in blood, with multiple gunshot wounds on his torso.
According to her, the deceased originally planned to meet with a reserve artist today, but the strange thing is that the reserve artist was spotted by the deceased when he was wandering on the street, so the secretary did not know the other person's appearance and name.
"I understand, go now!"
Takagi Wataru replied, put down the walkie-talkie, turned to look outside the car, and prepared to ask Ye Gengyi to go to the new rice flower building with him, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Oops, Mr. Ye
Why are you leaving...
He secretly said depressedly. He didn't have time to think too much. He knew that there could be no delay at the death scene. He quickly put on his seat belt and directed the police officer in the driver's seat to take him there first.
Wait until the police car flies away.
Ye Gengyi walked out of a shop in a hurry.
New rice flower building?
If I remember correctly, the doctor, Little Radar and the others were going to have a buffet there at noon today.
Sure enough, my prediction was not wrong...
When you go out with Conan, you have to be mentally prepared to die wherever you go.
