"Every time Brother Chi calls, after saying something, he will cut off the call in less than two seconds. I deliberately didn't hang up the phone just now. I waited for about ten seconds before the call was cut off. During this period, it was very quiet. There seemed to be the sound of a mobile phone being picked up," Conan said with a confident and determined smile, "So, I can be sure that something must have happened to Brother Chi and the others! Their location should not be on the street, but indoors. In a quiet place, someone coerced him to call. They probably wanted to hold them hostage for a while, but they were also worried that they would not come here for dinner as promised and arouse our suspicion, so they forced others to stop talking and asked Fei Chi to put the call on speakerphone. The mobile phone was placed somewhere to talk to us. After Fei Chi finished speaking, the other party found that the call was not hung up, so he picked up his mobile phone and hung up the call, which only took about ten seconds."
Haiyuan Ai looked at Conan speechlessly, who was getting carried away with reasoning, and said quietly, "I said, now shouldn't be a time to be happy, right?"
"Uh, sorry." Conan also realized that he was smiling inappropriately and suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Dr. Agasa looked at the three children who were having fun and said in a low voice, "Then Shinichi, you grabbed the receiver and spoke because..."
"Yes, in order to stabilize the gangsters who are holding them hostage over there, if the gangsters realize that we are suspicious, they may hurt them," Conan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth again, feeling proud of this wave of tacit cooperation, "And after that I have already communicated with Brother Chi. I asked him if Uncle Maoli and Xiaolan were with him. In fact, it was also to confirm whether he went to a remote place to make a phone call alone, so we did not hear other people's voices. , but he said that both uncle and Xiaolan are here, so it can be confirmed that they have indeed encountered a hostage, and it is not just him, but also Uncle Maoli and Xiaolan, the newly transferred classmate in Xiaolan's class he mentioned."
"Later, Brother Fei Chi said that the car blocked a few passers-by," Haiyuan Ai thought while stroking his chin, "Did he mean there was more than one gangster, or..."
"Maybe it refers to people who were also involved in trouble," Conan analyzed seriously, "because he also deliberately mentioned, 'There is a person who looks bad-tempered and seems to be planning to get out of the car to quarrel.' We all know their car It's not bad. If you just want to hang up the phone, you can give other reasons. The specific mention of a person with a bad temper who came to quarrel should imply that there is only one gangster. As for the passers-by blocked by the car, it means they are with them. There were also people who couldn't leave there for the time being. He didn't specify how many people they were. He was probably worried that the gangsters would notice that he was leaking information because the numbers matched the situation at the scene, so he had to vaguely say 'a few'."
"There is only one gangster, but he controls at least five people. Among them are karate masters like Sister Xiaolan and judo masters like Uncle." Haibara Ai analyzed, "It means that the other party has dangerous items such as guns and bombs. , or has already controlled a certain hostage... No, since the other party can have his hands free to hang up the phone, it is impossible to hold a hostage with a gun in one hand and the other party, that means the other party has a dangerous weapon in his hand."
Conan nodded, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number of his acquaintance Takagi Wataru, "Anyway, I'll call the police first..."
The call was connected in seconds, and Dr. A Li and Haihara Ai leaned to the side and listened.
"Hello, I'm Takagi."
"Officer Takagi, this is Conan. I just received a call from Brother Chi. He, Uncle Maori, and Sister Xiaolan may be in danger..."
"Conan, wait a minute!"
On the other end of the phone, Takagi Wataru seemed to be talking to someone at close range, and words such as 'Officer Megure', 'Conan', and 'in danger' could be vaguely heard.
After a moment, Takagi Shita's voice sounded clearly, "Conan, are you still listening?"
"I'm here." Conan responded quickly, "What I said before..."
"Actually, we received the alarm call about ten minutes ago. Mr. Chi's wheelchair seems to be equipped with an alarm device. If he is in danger, it will be sent to Umbrella's network system together with the position, and then the on-duty The staff contacted the police in his area," Takagi Wataru said quickly, "At that time, the call went directly to Officer Megure, because Mr. Chi seemed to have told them that if he had not encountered a life-threatening danger, he would have I don’t know how to press that button. Once someone receives the alarm, they immediately call the criminal department. Of course, I also checked whether there is a possibility of accidentally pressing the button, but the other party said that it takes a certain amount of time to press the button. strength, and it also needs to pass the fingerprint verification of Mr. Chi's specific finger before an alarm can be sent out, which can eliminate the possibility of accidental contact, so Officer Memu and I have already rushed to the address provided by the other party."
"Where are they now?" Conan asked quickly.
"This..." Takagi Wataru hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully, "The 5th-chome of Yoneka Town, to be precise, should be at the Mori Detective Agency. Conan, you should be at Dr. Agasa's house now, right? Now the Mori Detective Agency It’s very dangerous there, and our police are already rushing there, so don’t run over there randomly.”
Huh?
Conan thought about it and made sure that he had not told the police what happened at the doctor's house. He couldn't help but feel a little confused.
No one here has contacted the police, and Chi Feichi is even less likely to contact the police. So the question is, how did Officer Takagi know that he was at the doctor's house?
"Seven minutes ago, we received an alarm call from Miss Koshimizu," Takagi Wataru continued, "She told you almost the same thing. She said that she was also at the Maori Detective Agency before, but because Mr. Chi's bodyguard had She left because of an urgent matter, so she went out to buy drinks for the dinner with you in the evening, and also bought snacks for you to take to the camping tomorrow..."
Conan: "..."
It turned out to be Nanatsuki-san who said it.
"However, on her way back to the Maori Detective Agency after shopping, she suddenly received a call from Mr. Chi. Mr. Chi told her that she was going to have a dinner with Mr. Maori and Xiaolan at the doctor's house first, and asked her to take a taxi there directly. To save herself from carrying things around, she also said that the doctor wanted to read the books he put on the attic bookshelf and asked her to go to the attic to get them." Takagi Wataru continued, "She felt a little strange at the time. Mr. Chi and the others He shouldn't leave her alone. Although it makes sense to ask her to take a taxi nearby, she felt that if they were worried that it would be too hard for her to carry things around, Mr. Chi and the others should drive or take a taxi to pick her up. Fuck her and then go to the doctor's house together..."
Conan suddenly understood that Chi Feichi was taking advantage of their mutual understanding to inform them of the situation by telling them that it was impossible for gangsters to detect the problem but that they could detect something wrong immediately, "Well, Sister Nanatsuki went to the attic." Really? The attic Brother Chi mentioned should be the attic of the Seven Detective Agency. From the attic window, you can see the situation on the second floor of the Maori Detective Agency with a telescope!"
"Miss Koshimizu had arrived at the attic five minutes ago, using binoculars to help keep an eye on the movements of the Mori Detective Agency. At the same time, she was also in contact with Officer Sato," Takagi Wataru said. "According to what she saw, the detective The man who looked like a gangster in the office held a gun in one hand and what appeared to be a bomb detonator in the other hand. In addition, Mr. Mori was sitting behind his desk with his back to the window, and kept looking down at something on the table. It should be some newspapers and documents. Since the distance was a bit far away, she couldn't see the contents of the newspapers clearly. As for the other people, they seemed to be driven to the wall by the gangsters. Because of the angle, she couldn't see the people clearly. In short, with her According to analysis, the gangster probably wants to get something from Mr. Maori and will not harm the people in the office for the time being. However, we had better be careful when we go there and not alert the gangster, lest the gangster be stimulated and detonate the bomb..."
Conan: "..."
The police have already rushed there. Sister Nanatsuki has found out the situation in the Maori Detective Agency and is always keeping an eye on the movements in the Maori Detective Agency. This...
It seems like the matter can be solved without their help?
Dr. A Li: "..."
It’s too late to be right and wrong!
Haibara Ai:"……"
Her family, Fei Chi, was already smart, and because he was tortured by the organization, it seemed that they didn't need to worry.
Unless they are organizing those crazy guys who want to kill Brother Fei Chi, otherwise ordinary gangsters like this will only be plotted by Brother Fei Chi and lose without even knowing how...
"Officer Takagi..." Conan couldn't help but remind him aloud, "Brother Chi mentioned the books on the attic bookshelf. Could it be some relevant clues?"
"Well... Miss Yueshui said that the bookshelf in the attic is more like a storage rack. Mr. Chi seemed to bring books to the attic to read before, but every time he left the attic, he would take the books to the living room on the second floor. , there is only one book that has always been placed on the attic bookshelf, which is Mr. Kudo Yusaku's first famous book "High School Girl Detective Koyuki's Case Book". Mr. Chi often puts his binoculars on that book. Speaking of books, She should be reminded to use binoculars," Takagi Wataru said, "And according to the clues we got five minutes ago, the gangster in the Mori Detective Agency is the brother of the young female detective Sawaguri Mihong. A month ago, Miss Sawaguri Mihong She was found dead in a hot spring hotel in Gunma Prefecture. The police investigation concluded that it was suicide, but he believed that one of the three friends her sister met online when they traveled to Gunma Prefecture with them at the time deliberately killed her. Her younger sister faked her suicide. Her sister's three friends were all amateur female mysteries. Today they were called to the Maori Detective Agency by Miss Weihong's brother. Miss Weihong's brother wanted Mr. Maori to help him. To find out the murderer from among the three people, I think Mr. Chi mentioned that book just to tell us that the incident is related to the reasoning expert, but we have already asked people to check the contents of Mr. Kudo's book. "
Conan was a little confused, "Have you confirmed the identity of the gangster and his purpose of holding everyone hostage?"
Were the police so fast tonight? Could there be any problem somewhere?
