Before Haibara Ai had time to say a word, she listened to the police officer Yamamura Fu in front of her chattering endlessly and openly promoting superstition, and in the back she heard that Yuantai and Ayumi had already perfected a story. A foreign princess was persecuted by her vicious stepmother and had to hide her name and run away. "A fairy tale from a foreign land" made me feel like my head was exploding. I found that I couldn't get a word in and didn't know what to explain first, so I simply gave up my struggle and listened with an expressionless face.
These people's imagination is really richer than the last.
When she met this police officer who was even more confused than Uncle Maori, she felt that she no longer needed to rely on the police to help find Mitsuhiko...
"Uh, no," Dr. Agasa noticed that Yamamura Soo was muttering and had no intention of stopping. He didn't care about being polite anymore, so he interrupted directly, "We are here to find a child, and he ran into this forest. .”
Yamamura Cao was stunned for a moment, and pointed at the forest with a horrified look on his face, "What?! You mean a child ran in, and this is the forest where the murderer is hiding?!"
"yes……"
Before Dr. A Li finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yamamura Cao's roar.
"Why don't you take a fancy to him? Didn't you bring him here?"
"No, no," Dr. Ali sweated and quickly explained, "He came here by himself..."
After listening to Conan and others explain how they found this place using tracking glasses, Yamamura Soo suddenly felt that this was a group of brats playing a detective game.
Conan originally wanted to show Yamamura the tracking glasses to prove that they were not lying, but the tracking glasses happened to be out of power, which made Yamamura feel that these children were playing games, which made him feel a little sad and a little gossipy.
I didn’t expect the forest princess to play such childish games with children.
The other police officers dispersed to find Numabuchi.
After a group of people from Conan talked, Yamamura finally believed that there was a child in the forest. Just when he wanted to contact other colleagues to tell him about it, he found that his cell phone was in the car, and he fell to his knees with a plop. He lowered his head in frustration, "When I led the murderer to identify the scene, I let the murderer escape, and now I didn't tell everyone in time about the child getting lost in the forest. I will definitely be dismissed from my job now. I am because I came to be a police officer because I admired the detectives in police detective movies. Now it seems that this dream will be ended today..."
Conan couldn't bear to see it. Thinking that they were old acquaintances, he thought about comforting Yamamura Cao? "Police Officer Yamamura..."
"So!" Yamamura Cao suddenly raised his head and looked at Haihara Ai with a serious face, "This kind of desperate situation is definitely the moment when blessing is activated!"
Haihara Ai was startled by Yamamura Cao's reaction? He continued to be speechless.
Don’t police officers now do psychological examinations?
She felt that even the patient Fei Chi was emotionally more stable than Shancun Cao? He was much more stable.
"Then there's no need to worry too much?" Yamamura Cao patted his heart and stood up with a still-shocked look on his face. Putting on a confident look, "Numabuchi will definitely be caught today, and the child will also be found." ! Meeting the forest princess here means everything, right? God will never give up on me."
Conan: "..."
Did they still expect the police to help? But Yamamura Cao was still full of metaphysics? Did they expect Haiyuan to be able to transform people into living beings and bring them all in front of them?
Yamamura Cao thinks his idea is okay.
This is where? Forest!
Who is Princess Haiyuan? Forest princess!
Is this their territory? But this is not the Forest of Gods? I wonder if they have no control over cross-border areas? But let him take charge of it.
Also, what is the timing? After he let the prisoners go in the forest, he met the forest princess.
Then I heard the news that a child was also lost in the forest. This is a serious disaster. What is called 'turning disaster into good luck'? How can 'good luck' come from without 'bad luck'? The more ominous the situation, the more auspicious it is.
Don’t worry? Hug the forest princess’s legs? You’ll be safe today!
…
A group of people continued to look for Mitsuhiko deep into the forest? This time there was an unreliable police officer.
As Yamamura Cao walked, he looked at the distance and then at Haihara Ai, wondering how he would turn danger into good fortune this time? Will he see a spell or something.
But it seems that Her Royal Highness the Forest Princess does not want to use magic.
That's right, in order to experience a normal life, the forest princess doesn't want to expose her own abilities. He understands, understands.
As Conan walked, he continued to call Mitsuhiko with his detective armband.
"Conan, Mitsuhiko still hasn't responded?" Ayumi asked sadly.
"Yes." Conan also felt heavy.
"Did he fall asleep somewhere?" Yuantai guessed.
Hui Yuan Ai touched his chin, "He was still brutally murdered..."
"Ah!" Genta and Ayumi were startled.
Dr. A Li sweated and quickly stopped Haiyuan Ai, "Hey, Xiao Ai!"
"The person hiding in the forest is Numagachi Kiichiroya who committed several murders in Tohoku, Kanto, and Kansai areas," Haibara Ai asked calmly, "Isn't it surprising that I think so?"
"You know very well," Conan looked at Yamamura Cao, "I remember that July sent Kiichiro Numabuchi to the Osaka Police Station, right? Why did he escape to the forest in Gunma Prefecture?"
"July?" Dr. A Li looked sideways.
Haibara Ai was a little surprised. Was Numabuchi Kiichiro captured by Brother Chi?
"July? Who is it?" Yamamura Cao looked confused.
Dr. A Li explained, "He is a bounty hunter."
Yamamura Cao suddenly became excited, "Are there really bounty hunters in this world? I thought they only existed in TV series!"
"Qi Qi is very powerful. He helped the police arrest many criminals," Bumi wondered, "Police officer, you don't know?"
"It's no wonder that the affairs of the bounty hunters are not disclosed to the public. The person who contacts them seems to be the National Police Agency. Even within the National Police Agency, few people know about it," Dr. A Li guessed. "It's probably because Qi Qi was not there. There are activities in this area of Gunma Prefecture, so Officer Yamamura probably doesn’t know about it, but was Numabuchi really arrested in July?”
Conan nodded, "That time Hattori invited... uh, Hattori brother invited us to Osaka as guests, and there was a serial murder incident. At that time, Numabuchi was still on the run. We always thought the murderer was Numabuchi, but the police arrested Numabuchi. , I asked the real culprit from Numabuchi. Originally, I thought it was the Osaka police who found Numabuchi, but recently my uncle asked me to pay attention to the news about bounty hunters. When I received a call from Hattori’s brother two days ago, I inadvertently told him When he mentioned it, he mentioned that the arrest of Numabuchi was not by the police, but by the police who received the news and found it in the TA-Q-BIN carton. It also had the words "living TA-Q-BIN" on it. I think it was seven Yue can do nothing wrong.”
Hui Yuan Ai was thoughtful, but she didn't expect that Brother Fei Chi had already been in contact with people from the organization so long ago.
She remembered that when she saw the news of Numa Yuan's arrest, not long after she left the organization, Brother Fei Chi was still at Qingshan Fourth Hospital at that time, right? He actually sneaked out to catch criminals?
The supervision of Aoyama Fourth Hospital is very problematic. Even people... Ahem, in short, Numabuchi Kiichiro doesn't know much information about the organization, otherwise the organization would not let that guy escape, and neither would Brother Chi. Know about the organization.
"Then will July come here?" Yuantai asked expectantly.
"It's unlikely. He doesn't know that Numabuchi Kiichiro is here. The police should still be blocking the news." Dr. Agasa looked at Yamamura Cao, "Speaking of which, the reason why Numabuchi appears here is..."
"When he was being interrogated, he suddenly said that he actually killed four people, and the fourth person was buried in his mother's hometown, which is in this forest," explained Yamamura Soo, "so the Osaka police transferred him to He came from Gunma Prefecture. We had been following him in the forest to find the burial place since the morning. However, he seemed not to remember clearly. We dug in several places but could not find the body. So the police officer from Osaka went to buy lunch. When he entrusted Numayuan to us, he escaped."
"Did he already plan to escape?" Yuantai asked.
"But he didn't look like he was running away," Yamamura said, stroking his chin as he recalled, "He also said that when he and his mother came back to visit relatives, they often went to the forest to play alone..."
"Oops!" Ayumi walked, stepped on the air, and stepped into the river.
The exclamation startled the others.
Conan and others were listening to Yamamura Cao talking about how he and Numabuchi had come to play here when they were children. They were speechless when they suddenly noticed a small white dot floating down in the river. Curiously, he leaned forward and gently touched it with his fingers. Pick it up, put it under your nose and smell it.
This thing seemed to be a fiber film of some kind of plant. There was only a little bit of it. He couldn't tell what kind of plant it was. Since it had been soaked in water, he couldn't smell any special smell on it.
However, there was only a small amount floating in the entire river, and it didn’t look like some kind of plant naturally drifted into the river...
While a group of people were talking, Numabuchi Kiichiro quietly jumped to a nearby tree and secretly observed the group of people.
He came here when he heard the sound of a child, and he actually found the child.
However, he remembered clearly that the man said 'a child', but there were four here.
And after listening for a while, it seemed that these people were also looking for children, so this was not the place.
When Kiichiro Numabuchi was about to leave, Ayumi inadvertently looked up and saw Kiichiro Numabuchi, his hands cuffed and his back bent, standing firmly on the tree, with his skull-like face and ferocious... His straight eyes looked like wild beasts that wanted to devour people in the dim light, which made her hair stand on end.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Ayumi's subconscious scream also made others notice the trace of Numabuchi Kiichiro.
Numabuchi Kiichiro also quickly jumped down from the tree and hurriedly ran in the other direction.
He saw that the bespectacled kid had just fished something out of the river. It must have floated down from the upper reaches. In order to prevent this group of people from disturbing that person, it was best to lure it elsewhere...
Haibara Ai looked at Numabuchi Kiichiro's back, his expression a bit ugly.
"Numabuchi, stop!" Yamamura Cao and others were about to catch up when they were stopped by Conan.
"Wait a minute!" Conan said with a serious look, "It's already dark now. He is more familiar with this place than us. I'm afraid it will be dangerous if we continue to pursue him!"
Kiichiro Numabuchi ran a certain distance and found that the people behind him did not catch up. He was a little surprised. Suddenly he heard a sound in the jungle not far away, so he turned around and ran over.
At the same time, Conan also lowered his head and thought.
The third-grade girl provided a clue. The two adults Mitsuhiko was following mentioned the name of a certain military commander.
Military commanders, bamboo leaf rice balls...it's fireflies!
Mitsuhiko came to catch fireflies, and at night, fireflies in the forest usually move around the water.
Conan suddenly raised his eyes and looked above the river.
Could the plant fiber film just now be left by Mitsuhiko? Or is there someone else here?
Anyway, let’s look along the river first!
