"So that's it. It can be inferred that when they were preparing at Bumei's house, they discovered something was wrong with the family living in Room 2806. After asking the neighbors, they probably entered Room 2806 and were controlled after that. Right?" Conan looked at Chi Feichi and asked doubtfully, "But how can Brother Chi be sure that this woman is the gangster who controls them? It's possible that she is just the mistress of this family, right?"
Chi Feichi couldn't say that he knew the plot in advance, and no one would believe him, but he also had enough reasons to prove that the woman was a gangster, "She said that the children were all at her home. From what I know about the children, they When I find someone coming to my door, I will run to the door curiously to see who it is. After hearing my voice, it is even more impossible that there will be no movement at all. This woman does not look like she is being coerced into lying, so I judge that she is. She held the children hostage."
Conan: "..."
On the contrary, these three little guys have always been very curious and familiar with themselves. Even if they are playing at someone else's house and find that the host is opening the door for guests, they will not continue playing the game intently. They will definitely take a curious look.
"In addition, after the woman opened the door, she blocked the door crack with her body. When she talked about the children playing in her home, she turned back and glanced into the room. When she turned her eyes, she raised her eyes slightly, which shows that she was not watching the game. "She is a short child, but she is looking at someone taller than her," Chi Feichi continued, "Then her initial behavior of blocking the crack in the door with her body was not the defense of a woman living alone against strange visitors, but In order to prevent the visitors outside the door from seeing her accomplice, we speculated that her accomplice should be not far behind her. When she turned to look at her accomplice, her eyes only stayed in one place for a moment, and she could also make a preliminary judgment. It turns out that she has only one accomplice, and that is an accomplice who is standing not far behind her, will be seen by people outside when the door is fully opened, and is taller than her... Once this is determined, we can formulate a plan A tactic that can bring them down as quickly as possible."
Takagi Sheba looked at the two gangsters who woke up leisurely.
Mr. Chi had already confirmed the number, height and approximate location of the gangsters before entering the door. It would not be unfair for these two people to be knocked down with a brick.
"By the way, Conan," Mitsuhiko asked Conan curiously, "we met Masao asking for help during a video call before. Why did you know right away that they are not Masao's parents?"
"Because Masao's forehead hair style is Mount Fuji," Conan turned to look at Masao standing with his mother and smiled, "This is a dominant inheritance. If both parents don't have this hairstyle, the child will not be able to Yes, those two people don’t have such hairstyles, which means they are not the parents of a real man.”
The three children looked at Zhengnan's forehead, at the forehead of the fat woman next to Zhengnan, and then at the two gangsters who had woken up.
"It's true, the handsome man's hair has a protruding peak..."
"So does his mother."
"But these two bad guys have perfectly flat foreheads."
"After receiving Haiyuan's email and knowing that you had gone to this house to test the waters, I called Officer Takagi. I didn't trust you, so I came over anyway," Conan reasoned with great interest, watching the two wake up. The gangster said, "I asked Officer Takagi and he said that the family that originally lived here was named Uemura. Mr. Uemura was related to the recent tax evasion incident of Isobe Trading Company. Two weeks ago, that Mr. Uemura was related to someone from Nichibe TV Station. After discussing with the producer, they planned to use the evidence of the company's tax evasion as a trade to exchange benefits with the producer. After sending a delivery service to the producer, Mr. Uemura moved and hid, and is still missing. I think that Mr. Uemura, like the producer, was targeted by someone who wanted to destroy evidence of tax evasion. Maybe he had encountered an accident, and the other party also learned about the evidence being sent from Mr. Uemura... "
Haibara Ai looked at the two gangsters clearly and said, "Two weeks ago, the producer had a car accident after leaving Uemura's house. The producer also failed to receive the tax evasion evidence sent by Mr. Uemura using Delivery Service. , this type of TA-Q-BIN will usually be kept in the post office for ten days after no one signs for it, and then returned to the sender. The two of them should have been hired by Isobe Shoji to retrieve the TA-Q-BIN containing evidence of tax evasion. , that’s why I kidnapped Masao and his family who just moved here, disguised themselves as new residents, and waited here, preparing to sign for the TA-Q-BIN that was returned to the sender’s address.”
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Takagi Wataru who was dressed as a TA-Q-BIN deliveryman, "So, does Officer Takagi dress up like this and plan to pretend to be a deliveryman delivering returned items to trick them into letting down their guard and opening the door?"
"Yeah," Takagi Wataru smiled sheepishly, "Conan and I originally agreed that after the gangster opened the door, he would hide aside and hit the opponent with a football, and I would take the opportunity to rush in and rescue the hostages. But our preparations It’s completely useless…”
Haiyuan Ai sighed for the two gangsters when he saw them waking up and listening to their words, their faces turning green and white, not even paying attention to the injuries on their heads.
It's not good for these two guys to provoke anyone. They must provoke the two reasoning madmen Edogawa and Fei Chi.
Now it's better. Before they even met, the old man was completely stripped. When they met, he was knocked down directly, and he was completely defeated.
…
Other police officers, contacted by Takagi Shita, rushed to the apartment and took away the two gangsters.
Takagi Wataru stood under the building and watched the two gangsters get into the police car. He smiled helplessly, "Although their head injuries are no longer bleeding, head injuries are not a trivial matter. I think it is better to send them to the hospital for a look." good."
On the side, Chi Feichi was sitting in a wheelchair, looking sideways at the red bricks packed in evidence bags in Takagi Wataru's hand, "Officer Takagi, can you return the things to me?"
This time, it was the two men who broke into the house and imprisoned the original owner first, and also controlled and held a group of children hostage. The situation was critical. They hit people with bricks and threw bricks at them in order to rescue the hostages as soon as possible. After the two people fell unconscious, He did not continue the attack, so there was no suspicion of intentional injury or overreaction.
Since he was not suspected of any illegal crime, after the police confirmed that the brick was not a weapon brought by the two gangsters, but a tool he used to rescue the hostages, could they return it to him?
"Something?" Takagi She was stunned, looked down at the red brick in the evidence bag in his hand, and quickly handed it back to Chi Feichi, "Sorry, I almost forgot to return the thing to you, but Mr. Chi, Where did you find the bricks..."
"I brought it from the UK. When renovating some retro buildings in London in recent years, they will use this kind of reinforced brick, which is better than the old red bricks but has the same appearance," Chi Feichi explained calmly, tapping the fingers of his right hand on the wheelchair. The touch button on the armrest took the red brick handed by Takagi Wataru and put it back in the storage compartment under the armrest. "I have difficulty moving now, so I always need to prepare some self-defense items with me."
Conan: "..."
So I brought a red brick from England to Japan and kept it in the wheelchair storage space all day long. Where did it go? Where did it go?
Haibara Ai:"……"
As long as she had half the tendency of Brother Fei Chi to have delusions of persecution, she would have knocked down those two people without Brother Fei Chi arriving today.
"Defense, self-defense," Takagi Shitama smiled and scratched his head, "I always think it's weird to carry bricks with me. I can't explain why..."
"Probably because Japan is prone to earthquakes, there are not many places that use red bricks as building materials, and it is difficult to pick up bricks on the roadside, so you feel strange," Chi Feichi said on behalf of the little red brick who had made a contribution, "Bricks are If you plant something, even if your body cannot move much, you can shoot it with close attacks and throw it with long-range attacks. The front area is large, making it easy to cause a stun effect, so it is very suitable for self-defense."
Koshizu Nanatsuki lowered his head and looked at the Tang sword in his hand.
Weapons such as the Tang Dao can only be used by those who know how to use them and attack at close range. If they are thrown from a distance to hit people, due to the shape, it seems that there are no bricks that are easy to throw, and the throwing accuracy cannot be guaranteed. There is no guarantee that someone will be knocked unconscious...
Conan thought about his belt football and foot-strengthening shoes.
His football can knock people unconscious from a distance, but if the gangster is close in front of him and he has no space to kick the football out, since the weight and hardness of the football are not enough, he can hit the opponent with the football without causing much damage.
In such a comparison, slab tiles seem to have many advantages.
Yuantai, Ayumi, and Guangyan looked at the armrest of the wheelchair under Chi Feichi's right palm, and seemed to be able to see the red brick through the shell of the wheelchair.
And there seems to be no restriction on who can use the red bricks. Even children can use them as long as they can pick up the red bricks, and the power they exert is stronger than hitting someone with a rolling pin...
Takagi Wataru was thoughtful.
In the future, when chasing a fugitive, if he passes by a construction site and sees bricks on the ground, will he actually try to pick them up and throw them over?
Knocking down the criminal directly is much more practical than holding a gun but not being able to shoot at will as a deterrent.
Haihara Ai also glanced at the armrest of Chi Feichi's wheelchair.
Should she consider carrying this weapon with her?
However, bricks are not light in weight and are not convenient to put in your pocket. If you walk around with a brick all day long, you will definitely be regarded as a dangerous snake by passers-by...
Unless you are in a wheelchair like Brother Fei Chi at any time, and the bricks can be placed in the wheelchair, it is convenient to use this weapon.
Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that Brother Fei Chi chose the red brick as a weapon. He chose the best weapon based on his own situation.
Takagi Wataru felt that he wanted to try weapons like bricks more and more, so he quickly stopped his wandering thoughts and talked about another matter, "Ah, by the way, regarding this incident, the children need to go to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow. Transcript, in addition, Mr. Chi and Miss Yueshui may also go there to explain the process of rescuing the children."
Chi Feichi's face stiffened and he nodded in agreement, "No problem, I'm free recently."
"Then I'll leave first. You can call me in advance tomorrow!" Gao Mushe also had a headache when he thought about taking notes for Chi Feichi. He smiled at a group of people and got into the police car.
"Conan, don't you have a cold?" Ayumi turned to look at Conan and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now?"
Conan raised his hand and touched his forehead, "Maybe because I was scared by you, I went out for a run again. My cold seems to be getting better."
"Then let's go to Aumei's house together..." Mitsuhiko's smile froze on his face and he said dejectedly, "Oh no, we were only focusing on the investigation before and we haven't set up the party venue yet. Now we have nothing ready..."
"It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon now," Ayumi looked at her watch and sighed, "I promised my mother to tidy up the house before the party is over at six o'clock in the evening."
"Then let's go to the doctor's house to get together again," Koshimizu Nanatsuki comforted with a smile, "We'll go to the Metropolitan Police Department to take notes in the morning, and then we'll have a gathering at the doctor's house in the afternoon."
