Codename: "Chief's Man".
Height: 160~170 cm.
Face: Exact appearance unknown, wearing a Fire Man mask.
Estimated age: between 20 and 30 years old.
This is the information about the robber that the police have compiled this time. Tang Ze also got news from Takagi, saying that he predicts that the other party may attack again during the third Chief's Day City.
Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department plans to strengthen defenses and deploy additional police forces at the Chief's Day Market at the end of this month in an effort to capture the robber in one fell swoop.
But even so, Tang Ze is still not optimistic about this action.
This is mainly because there are too many shrines hosting the Chief's Day Market. There are 30 shrines in Tokyo alone, and there are almost 50 shrines in the entire Kanto region.
With so many dark-colored people and the area covered during the festival, even if the police deployed more manpower, they probably wouldn't be able to easily prevent a robber in that huge flow of people.
After all, it’s not just a large area that needs to be defended, but You City is always bustling, as can be seen from the fact that this festival is held three times.
But this is normal. This You City Festival is a festival that was derived from the victory of Neon Martial Lord in the conquest of Dongyi.
The weapon called "Bear Hand" is now a traditional ornament in festivals. It symbolizes "holding on to good fortune" and is a mascot that can bring in a lot of money and prosperity. It is also a must-buy item for festivals.
After all, who wouldn’t like something that comes with free shipping and can make you rich? Plus, this is a grand festival, so it’s naturally very lively.
It is difficult to manage when there are too many people, and this is the same everywhere.
After washing the dishes, Tang Ze sat on the sofa and pondered the case.
He looked at the funny-looking fire man mask with a tilted head and a slanted mouth, and felt that he seemed to have some impression of this case, but when he thought about it carefully, he had no impression at all.
There is no way to rely on foresight. Tang Ze thought about it and felt that it should not be a side quest. He planned to gather some information and confirm the situation.
Since it is a scientific case and is related to large-scale events such as festivals, it is not a case that Conan would encounter alone.
Given his personality, if Xiaolan wasn't there, Conan probably wouldn't bother to go to the festival.
And if Xiaolan goes, her good friend Sonoko will probably go with her.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze felt that it would be most appropriate to ask his sister-in-law for information first. After all, it would be a bit abrupt to rashly go to someone else to ask about the festival.
Regarding this aspect, Tang Ze is still very cautious. After all, it would be bad if Conan discovered the pattern.
Even though Tang Ze is very secretive every time he inquires about information, he can't help but have the careful Conan by his side.
If he realized that every time he found out some messy news, a murder would happen, I wonder what he would think.
In order to avoid such trouble, Tang Ze naturally started by testing the person who was least likely to be exposed. If there was really no gain, he would go directly to confront Conan.
Of course, at that time, we would directly use the case as a topic to see if Conan was involved.
Of course, I should start with my sister-in-law and see if I can get any information.
After preparing the gifts, he sent a text message to Ayako to tell her that he was going to visit his father-in-law to give her some gifts. After asking her to go home for lunch, Tang Ze drove to the Suzuki family residence from home.
His father-in-law and mother-in-law were both at home, so after he explained his purpose, they naturally invited him to have dinner.
Because they had to wait for Yuanzi to finish school at noon, Tang Ze naturally agreed.
Seeing that his son-in-law agreed, Shiro Suzuki was very happy and started playing chess with Tang Ze.
Fortunately, Tang Ze has acquired a lot of skills in chess and his level is pretty good, while Suzuki Shiro is a veteran in this field, so the two of them played on equal terms.
Near noon, Ayako came back first, and Sonoko returned home on time after school.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you are here~"
After entering the house and seeing the two people, Yuanzi's eyes lit up in surprise and said, "I heard that you went to Italy before? How was it? Was it fun?"
"Not bad. Your brother-in-law also brought you some souvenirs, including the bag I picked for you. Take a look and see if you like it." Ayako said with a smile.
"Wow! That's great! My bag was stolen at the festival earlier, so now I have a new one!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanzi cheered and ran towards the coffee table to check her bag.
But the speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Tang Ze's expression changed when he heard what Yuanzi said.
Before she could say anything, Ayako's face changed when she heard her sister's words: "Were you robbed? What happened? Are you hurt?"
"It's okay, sister. Can't you see I'm jumping around here?" Yuanzi waved her hand nonchalantly and happily fiddled with the expensive bag in her hand.
"What's going on?" Seeing that Sonoko didn't care about her clothes, Ayako grabbed the bag and asked Sonoko about the situation in detail.
"It was during the last Chief's Day Festival. Ran and I went to the Ranburi Shrine together, and we happened to run into that damned 'Chief's Man'."
Seeing Ayako's serious expression, Sonoko said comfortingly, "Oh, it's okay. They just took my bag. I'm not hurt."
Ayako, who was standing aside, ignored Sonoko after hearing her words. Instead, she looked at Tang Ze beside her with a questioning look in her eyes, obviously wanting to know more information from Tang Ze.
"I only found out about this when I watched the news this morning."
