Having obtained such a favorable clue, Sato and the others were excited and naturally began to investigate immediately.
Also helping out were Xiaolan, Heye and others.
At this moment, the two of them had learned that Conan and the others were suspected of being kidnapped, and they were all shocked, followed by endless worry.
Fortunately, both of them are "battle-hardened" and are strong girls by nature. In addition, they have seen Conan/Heiji involved in cases many times, so they quickly cheered up.
When they learned that the ticket stub could help identify the criminal's fingerprints, the two volunteered to help.
This simple and large-scale investigation work does not require much technical content. In addition, now is the time to conduct a carpet search. It can save police force on this side and expand the search scope on the other side. Therefore, Sato simply agreed to the two people's request.
"Detective Karasawa, Conan and Hattori-kun are left to you!" Before leaving, Xiaolan looked at Karasawa and asked.
"Please rescue Heiji and the children!" Kazuha looked at Tang Ze with the same hopeful look in his eyes and said, "Please!"
"Ah, don't worry, just leave everything to me." Tang Ze smiled slightly, and the calmness on his face seemed to gently calm the panic of the two girls.
Without saying much, the two girls quickly started to screen the ticket stubs. Tang Ze asked Ayako to stay with them and take care of them, while he rushed to the place where the blue bus had parked.
After bending down and searching carefully without leaving any traces, Tang Ze indeed found traces of a fight between Hattori Heiji and the clown.
And a red button fell quietly on the ground.
Tang Ze recalled the clown's previous costumes and was basically certain that this was the button on the clown's jacket with a star pattern.
After carefully putting the button away and placing it in the evidence bag, Tang Ze immediately asked Uncle Dengmi to extract the fingerprints from the button.
There is no doubt that the clown costume must have been changed inside the theater, otherwise such an obvious image would have stopped him by security long ago.
However, if you change clothes in a place like a bathroom, there is a high possibility that the other person will leave fingerprints when putting on clothes.
As a detective, the most basic quality is to be considerate and leave information for your companions.
The situation happened suddenly at that time, and Hattori Heiji was not sure about the situation. He stopped the car just to confirm the situation.
But after the situation was confirmed, the Joker's reaction was unexpectedly violent. The two of them started fighting instantly, and naturally there was no chance to leave any information.
Perhaps considering the worst-case scenario that he would be subdued by the gangster and his accomplices, Hattori Heiji improvised and tore off the buttons of the gangster's clown costume while struggling with them.
He believed that with Tang Ze's reasoning and insight, he would be able to find the button and understand the information he had worked so hard to leave behind.
And Tang Ze did not disappoint and found the important clue left by Hattori Heiji in his final quick wit!
This is the tacit understanding between detectives!!
……..
The silver bus stopped again.
After the car door opened, the children lined up obediently under the supervision of the criminals and then entered the dilapidated building.
"Go in!"
Accompanied by the yellow-haired man's rude scolding, the two young men, Hattori Heiji and Ryosuke, were roughly pushed into a dilapidated house after the children entered.
The long-haired man pointed a gun at Hattori Heiji's head, while the leather-clad man beside him looked at the kidnapped people and said, "Rabbit, share the food with them."
After hearing what the man in leather jacket said, a fat man whom Conan and the others had never seen in the car came over with a big bag of lunch and put it next to Conan.
Afterwards, the man named Rabbit uncuffed the handcuffs that were tied behind Heiji and Ryosuke's backs, without any intention of worrying about their resistance.
Conan and Hattori Heiji naturally knew the other party's confidence. After all, if all four of them had guns, it would be very easy to suppress them.
After everything was arranged, the man in leather jacket was about to take the man nicknamed "Rabbit" out of the room, but Ryosuke suddenly called out to him.
"Um... I seem to have been brought here by mistake... I can't go back..."
Perhaps because the leather-jacketed man had been so calm and composed along the way, Ryosuke suddenly pleaded with him, "My wife is going to give birth! The due date is tomorrow! Please..."
"Congratulations, but I'm sorry I can't let you go back yet. Please rest well here tonight."
After the leather-jacketed man answered Ryosuke's question, he turned to the crowd and said, "If you don't act rashly, we won't harm you."
As the rusty iron door closed, when only the hostages were left in the house, the children, who had been holding back their tears because of the threats and fear, could no longer hold back and began to cry loudly.
Even the children of Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko, three experienced young detectives, were affected by the crying around them. As the other children cried, tears welled up in their eyes unconsciously.
"They are still children after all..."
Conan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and immediately walked towards the three of them to encourage them: "Don't cry, you three, we are the Junior Detective Team! Cheer up, we still have to rescue everyone out!"
"But..." Ayumi said discouragedly: "Those prisoners all have guns, and we are also locked up here..."
Mitsuhiko trembled a little and said, "We saw the face of the criminal. Will we be killed..."
"No, I haven't eaten enough eel rice, I don't want to die..." Yuan Tai, who was standing aside, held his stomach with a look of despair on his face.
"Hey, it's already so late, why are you still thinking about eating?" Conan's expression fell when he heard Genta's words.
"Don't worry, Conan and I will definitely rescue you." Hattori Heiji looked at the three little ones pointing at him and smiled: "I am the "Famous Detective of Kansai", I am very powerful, I will definitely rescue you!"
"Really..." The three little ones looked at Hattori Heiji blankly and asked.
"Oh, of course."
Hattori Heiji patted his chest and assured: "Actually, the reason why I caught up with you was because I felt something was wrong when I collided with the clown, so I stopped the car.
I also left some information for Detective Tang Ze, and I believe he will rescue us soon."
Hearing that Hattori Heiji realized that the clown was carrying a gun through a collision, and hearing that the other party left information to Tang Ze, the three little ones quickly became excited.
"Then next, let's help Teacher Yuko comfort the other children." Seeing that the three of them had cheered up, Conan smiled and led them to take action.
