Wrongful Conviction 10
"Eguchi-kun, drive faster," said Ishii Kazuki, who had successfully stopped a crime, with exhaustion written all over his face. "Have you called for backup? We have hostages this time, so we need to show all our strength."
"Yes! Inspector Ishii!"

Although this depends a lot on luck, people who are in a hurry generally don't pay too much attention to their feet. Christina's teachings were still ringing in Julian's ears. He carefully unscrewed the lid of the plastic bucket and poured the liquid inside onto the steps. The hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer. The boy was hiding in a blind spot. His sensitive senses told him that there were two adult men running up the stairs in a hurry, and they were only a few steps away...
3, 2, 1…Bang!
Two big men rolled down the slide in a stacked posture. Julian nimbly went down the handrail and jumped directly to the two robbers who had fallen unconscious. He took out the plastic rope he had picked up earlier and tied the two men up in a "man on top of another man" posture to ensure it was solid enough.
"Ah," Julian clapped his hands, remembering the teachings of a certain policeman, "We have to take away some things... otherwise the bad guys will get up."
He hummed a song and pulled out the robbers' belts.
"This is the last one left..."

"How strange," Kojima Genta swallowed the sandwich in his mouth in big gulps, "Those robbers didn't catch up with us. Are they afraid of our Junior Detective Team?"
“Yuta, swallow your food before you talk!” Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya sat a little further away from the mouthful of food, to avoid being touched by the food residue. “Also, have you eaten too much from now on? This is a big crisis! What if you eat too much and can’t run anymore?”
"But I'm hungry," Kojima Genta showed a guilty look, but he never stopped talking, "There's so much food here but I'm not allowed to eat it. That's too cruel!"
Yoshida Ayumi clasped her hands together and apologized to the non-existent operator, "I'm sorry, I'll ask my mother to pay after dawn, but now we need to eat." She looked around with a worried expression, approached Edogawa Conan and asked, "Brother, are you okay by yourself? Will he be caught..."
The previous situation really did not allow them to stop. Several children set up tripwires in the cotton clothing area and tied the two robbers into caterpillars with quilts before they had a chance to react and had been separated from Julian. However, they had no way to look for them in a high-profile manner. After trying to avoid the cameras and searching for several floors, they were so tired that they could only stay in the food area to replenish their energy.
"We probably haven't been caught," Edogawa Conan frowned. He always felt that there was something indescribable about Julian, but he couldn't describe it in detail. "But it's strange. We saw four robbers in the security room before, and two of them have been caught by us. Their accomplices will definitely not let us wander around in the building. Why haven't we met them yet..."
Did he solve it? Julian's figure flashed in Conan Edogawa's mind. This reasoning sounded a bit absurd. A twelve-year-old boy subdued two adult men.
...But it seems that it is not impossible. Thinking of Julian's hell joke, Edogawa Conan was silent for a moment.
"Then let's head to the security room!" Kojima Genta finally finished eating. He wiped his mouth and made an opinion, "Passive attack is not the style of the detective team! Let's get rid of those robbers!"
"Wait a minute!" Conan Edogawa was shocked by this confident suggestion and quickly stopped him, "He's a robber, are you going to rely on a few kids like us?!"
Kojima Genta patted his belly and said nonchalantly, "But we can't hide in the building for a night. Besides, if my brother falls into their hands, he will probably be locked up with the hostages. We can't just watch him die. And Conan, you are also concerned about the two robbers, right? Then we need to go and confirm them!"
...it actually makes sense and has solid evidence. Edogawa Conan was speechless for a moment, but when he saw the kids who had recovered from their sleep were eager to try, he realized that he couldn't stop them. Instead of letting them slip away and face the danger, it would be better for him to go and watch together.
"Really? Remember to listen to my instructions!"
"oh--"
