"Police Department, please arrange for the police to find some charcoal and wood. Let's go out first."
After saying that, Ye Gengyi raised his foot and kicked Conan on the butt again, reminding the detective boy who was eager to try and activate the mechanism:
"Don't let me beat you."
You have already beaten...
Conan felt aggrieved and reluctantly followed a few people to the door of the warehouse.
Wood, coal, dead grass, fuel, fire extinguishers and a few cardboards...
Get everything ready.
Following the order from Mu Mu Shisan.
The officers lit a fire.
First there was a faint smell of burnt charcoal in the air.
As the fire grew bigger and bigger.
Thick smoke also filled the air.
Using cardboard to adjust the direction of the smoke, the swirling gray-black particles quickly enveloped the entire space, as if embraced by illusion.
Everyone's sight was also blocked by smoke.
The interior of the warehouse, which originally lacked light sources, became darker and darker.
The choking smoke filled every corner, making people feel breathless just by looking at it.
"That's it."
Ye Gengyi did not do this for the purpose of killing. After estimating the time through space, he asked the police to put out the flames and asked the old man to close the warehouse door.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, half a minute...
Suddenly, a "clack-clack" friction sound came from inside the warehouse.
Immediately afterwards.
The warehouse door suddenly had a crack halfway up.
As the gap grew larger, smoke and dust quickly spilled out from inside.
An unshaven man crawled out, coughing.
Ye Geng glanced at Mu Mu Shisan, who was still in a daze:
"Police department?"
"Ah...oh! Arrest people!" Mumu Shisan waved his hand and looked at the warehouse warily.
...Someone actually came out, inside the originally empty warehouse!
"Eh?! You... aren't you the gardener I hired before?!"
Beside, the elderly owner of the house recognized the unshaven man.
"Ahem...yeah, I'm sorry...ahem..."
Surrounded by a group of criminal police officers who often deal with homicide cases, the man suddenly showed an expression of fear and panic. He knelt down on the ground and told the story of his theft without even questioning.
Conan was speechless for a while after hearing this.
...It turns out that the 'theft cases' that occasionally appeared on TV and newspapers during this period were committed by this person.
He looked inside the door again, but before he had any new ideas, he was punched in the head.
"Are you curious? Do you want to throw you in and experience it?" Ye Gengyi threatened.
"I...I...don't need it anymore."
Conan felt targeted.
But the problem is... I am very obedient today... Where did I offend Brother Geng Yi? ? ?
aside.
The case was investigated smoothly.
After confirming that the suspect was only involved in the 'theft case', Mumu Thirteen also contacted the Search Section 3 and prepared to take the person back and hand over the case to them.
…
Ye Gengyi said goodbye to the police, and took the five young detectives to Poirot Cafe nearby, where they chose a seat by the window to eat dessert.
Haiyuan Ai was in a good mood when she saw Conan's depressed look. Since his emotions were too obvious, he naturally received a blank look from the detective boy:
"Hey... I'm telling you, did you bring Brother Gengyi here on purpose?"
This kind of 'adventure' is actually called an adult! Moreover, that adult is still Geng Yige. This guy Haiyuan is really getting more and more evil!
"I'm doing it for everyone's safety. Besides... isn't the matter resolved satisfactorily?" Haiyuan Ai smiled.
Yes, I was the only one who got beaten, and it was indeed quite 'satisfactory'...
Conan vomited in his heart, took a sip of his drink, and deliberately said:
"However, it is too exaggerated to think of using smoke to force the thief out. There are precious antique calligraphy and paintings in there..."
"Don't worry, only long-term exposure to smog will cause surface discoloration, cracking, and fading of objects due to nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and formaldehyde..."
After Huihara Ai explained the principle, he responded to a certain detective boy's behavior of releasing his emotions, saying: "In a situation like today, it is impossible to have any impact, and the owners will only be grateful."
Conan said nothing and started to drink.
It's not that he can't refute, but he understands that the matter cannot be explained clearly.
If you look closely, you can actually find that there are no signs of damage inside the entire warehouse.
but……
This does not mean that there are no traps inside.
Just like the 'Iron Fox' in Suzuki Jiroyoshi's house, if the old man had always remembered how to open the safe, he would naturally not have left any traces of triggering the trap in the room.
Ye Gengyi's approach was to avoid the possibility of danger for himself to the greatest extent.
All right……
It's actually nothing to be beaten. I'm just a little unhappy that Brother Gengyi got the better of me in the middle of 'solving the puzzle'...
Conan muttered silently.
He often slanders the decryption method of a certain technical association expert in his heart...
well……
It is really difficult for Sarada-san to have the same 'enthusiasm' for solving every case as he and Hattori do.
At this time, he felt that the light next to him dimmed, as if something was blocking the glass.
Turn around and look.
He was immediately startled by a slightly embarrassed black face.
"Huh?! Take, take, Hattori..."
Conan blurted out.
Finally appeared...
Ye Gengyi put down his coffee cup and came outside the store. He looked at a certain black man with bleeding head and limping while walking. He wondered in his heart, "I don't think I hit his head or legs" and asked road:
"how did you make it?"
"Oh...I met a robber."
Hattori Heiji had a sullen face, and with the support of Ye Gengyi, he came to the detective agency.
Conan ran to find the medicine box.
After Haibara Ai brought a clean towel, she took a basin of warm water and asked Hattori Heiji to clean the wound.
The three children were helping beside them, but with their hesitant expressions on their faces, anyone could tell that they were full of doubts.
Ye Gengyi said with a murderous heart: "Heiji, what case led you to pursue me to Mihua Town and end up like this?"
"That...no, it's not a case..."
Hattori Heiji said awkwardly: "It's just that... I met a robber..."
Ye Geng helped Hattori Heiji clean the wound on his forehead, and asked by the way: "The injury is not serious. Judging from the location, it should be a head-on confrontation. Has the person been caught?"
"No... the person ran away, this... I threw it myself..."
Hattori Heiji was even more embarrassed, but the robber was not caught. As a detective, he was really embarrassed to lie about his testimony.
I could only briefly explain that I was so eager to chase people that I hurriedly got up from the ground before my brain could get oxygen. As a result, I lost my balance and fell to the ground and fainted.
Ye Gengyi, who just wanted to leave the scene as soon as possible and did not observe this scene: "..."
Well, I finally know why you showed up so late...
