Um……
At that time, I just thought about coming back early to release the makeover card, and I really didn't seriously think about the authenticity of the clues provided by the confused police department.
However, although there is no need to follow basic rules for guessing, it is still too unclear to assume that there is some magic car or car-shaped aircraft based on these alone...
Ye Gengyi frowned slightly, then relaxed. He thought of another possibility and said:
"Probably Brocken Wonder."
"Eh? Brocken..."
Mao Lilan repeated this foreign-like name and wondered: "Brother Gengyi, what is that?"
"Broken is a mountain." Ye Gengyi said.
When it comes to this matter, because his memory is incomplete, in order not to affect his daily scientific research and life, he also conducted research for a period of time... Of course, this research does not only refer to the 'Brocken Wonder'. , but the sources and names of some documents in the knowledge reserve, such as Schrödinger's cat and Newton who discovered gravity all exist...
"Mountain?"
Mao Lilan was confused for a while.
"The Brocken Mountains are located at a low altitude in the Harz Mountains of Germany. When there are clouds and fog, light shines from behind the observer, and is diffracted and interfered by water droplets in the air. The deeper rain and fog will reflect the light back. , forming a figure wrapped in a halo as if standing in the clouds..."
Ye Gengyi explained: "That environment was similar to the situation in Dongming Mountain at that time, so what the police officer Yamamura's grandma saw was most likely herself."
"It turns out it's just a natural phenomenon, not a witch. Great! I've been worried about everyone being cursed by the witch without knowing it."
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief and looked much more relaxed.
"Although these are not required reading knowledge in the subject, there is no harm in knowing it. I remember... your grades seem to have always been in the middle of the class. If you are still not able to do well after working hard, you can try many aspects. Develop it.”
If the little detective hadn't caught a bad cold and couldn't speak, these knowledge points should have been popularized on the way to solve the case or on the way back.
Ye Gengyi thought of the detective kid who often sought death... It must be said that Kudo Shinichi's knowledge reserve in this area was a bit excessive.
Eh? Did he suddenly change from Brother Gengyi to Teacher Ye?
Mao Lilan was a little ashamed when she mentioned her grades, but she was not someone who liked to escape. Looking at the young professor in front of her, her eyes lit up and she said, "Brother Gengyi, you are so smart, do you have any learning methods that you can share?"
"Well...if it were you..."
Ye Gengyi pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that his own learning method was not suitable for most people. If he wanted to help Mao Lilan make a study plan, he had to know the other person's daily routine and life patterns, and he could find time to do these things as The reason for going to the detective agency is that you can at least have a cup of coffee... There is no need to stand in the cold snow section of the department store and discuss it like now.
So, just when Ye Gengyi was about to explain the cause and effect to Mao Lilan, suddenly, he saw several familiar figures looming on the stairs in front of him:
"Memu Police Department..."
"Ah? Brother Gengyi, what did you say?" Mao Lilan didn't hear clearly.
Ye Gengyi frowned slightly, "Did it take too long for Conan to go to the bathroom?"
"When you say that..."
Mao Lilan raised her wrist and looked at the time, "It seems to be almost ten minutes."
I really hope that boy just fell into a trap...
Ye Gengyi rubbed his eyebrows. He had a bad premonition and felt that it was too late to pretend that nothing happened and leave the department store... After all, he was going out to buy something.
"What's wrong with you, Brother Gengyi?" Mao Lilan noticed the movement and asked with concern.
"Ah... my head hurts a little."
Ye Gengyi took a deep breath to adjust himself and said, "Something may have happened. I'll go over there and take a look."
With that said, he walked quickly towards the stairs.
"Head...ache? Is it because of my academic performance..." Mao Lilan stayed where he was.
…
In front of the stairs.
Megure Thirteen, Takagi Wataru, and three menacing-looking detectives from the First Investigation Section were gathering around and discussing something in whispers.
Beside them, a woman about twenty-five or six years old stood there with tears in her eyes and a trembling body.
I knew it……
Ye Gengyi sighed silently, walked forward and said hello: "Police Department..."
Mumu Shisan was startled by the sudden voice coming from his side. He turned his head and said in a serious voice with a bit of surprise: "Brother Gengyi!?"
"What happened?"
Ye Gengyi had already looked around before coming over, but he didn't see anything suspicious... The scene was not here.
"Is such that……"
Megure Thirteen looked at the young mother and said: "We received a report from Ms. Yuki that her daughter was kidnapped in a department store... We already know the identity of the kidnapper. He may have a pistol in his hand..."
"What about others? They are not within the control range?"
Ye Gengyi was a little confused... There was a kidnapping incident in the mall, but it did not cause large-scale chaos. And under normal circumstances, Takagi cannon fodder... Oh, shouldn't Officer Takagi take the lead?
Takagi Wataru noticed the look in Ye Gengyi's eyes and thought the other party was asking him, so he immediately explained: "Ms. Yuki was pushed down by the kidnappers in the safety stairs. When she got up from the ground, the kidnappers had already taken her hostage. Her daughter is missing... We are looking for witnesses."
"Then send two groups of people, one group will go to seal off the underground parking lot first, and the other group will go to the rooftop."
Ye Gengyi thought about the layout of the entire building and said, "Be careful when taking the safety stairs. No witnesses have been found yet, which means the other party may still be hiding inside."
"yes!"
Takagi Wataru responded, turned around and was about to trot to execute it. Suddenly his legs that he stepped out froze in mid-air. He turned his head sideways and looked at his real immediate superior, Megure Thirteen, with an awkward expression.
A group of people followed his direction.
Suddenly, the embarrassment shifted to Mumu Shisan's face.
See what I’m doing, just do it... The latter coughed a few times and said, "Ahem... Takagi, please take people to the rooftop first..."
As he said that, he turned to look at Ye Gengyi and said, "Brother Gengyi, I have arranged for Qianye to take people to search the underground parking lot."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chiba Kazushi's voice came from the walkie-talkie in his hand:
