Miwako's police manual fell to the ground because of this deduction, which was enough to show that Miwako was not at peace at the moment. Therefore, she decided to leave immediately and not waste any more time in the bar. Every second she was late would put Takagi in more danger.
When Kazuko opened the car door, she found that the car was empty. Shiratori arrived in his car at that moment.
Suddenly, the detective's armband chimed. Conan took out the armband, and Ayumi's voice came from it. He immediately shouted, "What's going on? Where did you guys go?"
The loud noise startled Ayumi, causing her to lose her footing and drop her armband. Ayumi knew the three of them had done something wrong, so she lowered her voice. But with the thug right next to her, she spoke much faster: "Conan, can you please not be so loud? The thug will hear us!"
Conan was stunned. Mitsuhiko snatched the armband from Ayumi's hand and said, "That arsonist just passed by the Nanakura Tavern, so we followed him. We are now in the warehouse district of Shinagawa City's sixth ward."
Mitsuhiko was very clever. After briefly explaining what had just happened, he told Conan their current location without him having to ask.
At that moment, the arsonist had just poured gasoline on the newspaper but hadn't set it on fire yet. Conan briefly told them not to make any rash moves before hanging up the phone.
When Conan asked about Takagi's unusual behavior earlier, Shiratori's answer made Conan understand Takagi's thoughts almost instantly.
Conan also learned the meaning of KAN O in the police handbook using the same method as Takagi, and he has identified the person who attacked Officer Takagi.
It has to be said that when it comes to cases related to Miwako, Takagi's brain works like oiled rusty parts, his mind works extremely fast. However, the excitement of almost solving the Miwako case overwhelms his brain, and as a detective, his most basic counter-surveillance ability is greatly reduced.
Conan said to Shiratori, "Officer Shiratori, take us to catch that arsonist!"
Upon hearing this, Miwako was quite puzzled, after all, she also had a car and her driving skills were better. However, Conan told her, "The case from eighteen years ago needs to be resolved by Inspector Sato."
Then, Conan whispered something in Miwako's ear, and immediately, an incredulous smile appeared on Miwako's face. With a determined look in her eyes, she got into the car and drove off.
The group got into Shiratori's car and headed to Warehouse Street, the location of the arsonist.
...
After seeing Conan quietly leave, Kousuke gave Ai a hand signal and then slipped away just like Conan.
Tokyo, an international metropolis and the capital of Japan, is a true reflection of its prosperity.
As night falls, this brightly lit city begins to reveal its vibrant side, with all sorts of dazzling lights captivating visitors.
As Kōyū walked down the street, he headed alone towards Takagi's location. After carefully sorting through his memories, Kōyū remembered that Takagi had been locked in a warehouse. Naturally, the warehouse district near Shinagawa caught Kōyū's attention. According to Kōyū's deduction, Takagi was most likely locked in a warehouse in the warehouse district.
However, halfway there, Guangyou was attracted by a small shop by the roadside.
It was a small shop full of Chinese style. There was a large table in front of the shop, on which you could see many Chinese delicacies. On the table, you could see an old man wearing a white Tang suit and with a long white beard.
The old man, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, sat in a rocking chair, seemingly oblivious to the noise outside, enjoying his own tranquility in the shop.
What attracted Guangyou was a string of snacks on the table—candied hawthorn berries.
"Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a very, very long time since I've had candied hawthorns." Guangyou didn't hesitate to take out his money to buy a few skewers of candied hawthorns.
At this time, Kōyū and Takagi were not far apart, so Kōyū's confidence reassured him about Takagi's safety.
Guangyou took a few steps forward before he could see the old man's appearance clearly. After just one glance, Guangyou was convinced that the old man was no ordinary person. Just by looking at his white hair and youthful face, not to mention anything else, the old man's ability to maintain his composure was definitely remarkable.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, this store is more like an oasis in the desert, where people can find peace and tranquility. This is exactly how Kōyū felt. Even before entering the store, he felt as if his heart had calmed down.
The old man kept his eyes closed, but spoke in Chinese: "What do you want?"
"Ten skewers of candied hawthorns." Guangyou answered truthfully. No matter how powerful the old man in front of him was, it was none of Guangyou's business. He would just honestly buy the candied hawthorns.
Guangyou's reply was also in Chinese. The old man then slightly opened his closed eyes, glanced at Guangyou, and closed them again.
In that instant, Guangyou clearly saw that the old man's eyes were not as cloudy as those of ordinary elderly people; on the contrary, they were more spirited than the eyes of many young people. This further solidified Guangyou's impression of the old man as a master.
The old man grunted through his nose, pointed to a sign in front of the candied hawthorns, then to the table, and then fell silent, continuing to lie in the rocking chair as if he were asleep.
Guangyou took out some money, put it on the table, counted dozens of candied hawthorn skewers, and then left.
After Guangyou left, the old man, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes, glanced in the direction Guangyou had gone, and smiled: "Interesting."
"Master Wu, I'll be going now." A pleasant female voice rang out.
Grandpa Wu grunted in response. The woman, seemingly accustomed to Grandpa Wu's habits, didn't say much, walked straight out of the shop, and headed directly towards a car parked by the roadside.
