Chapter 2260 2272 [Case Closed]
Before Conan could recover from the shock, the members of the Junior Detective Team had already pushed the door open with a clang. With Jiang Xia behind them, the three children shouted fearlessly, "That's it!"
Kamekura Yuji: “?!”
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya raised his phone and said, "We have recorded the entire process of you digging for gems. Surrender... No, turn yourself in!"
Kamekura Yuji fell to the ground, trembling for a while, and suddenly sighed in self-abandonment: "I surrender, you can take me away."
"Well……"
The three children looked at each other: "..." Why is this different from Brother Jiang Xia's process of solving cases?
What about the prisoner's excuse?
Do they spell out the steps of their reasoning with great vigor?
What about the scene where the prisoner tries to escape but is knocked down with a stick and then stepped on and beaten to the ground?
"How about we follow the procedure first?" Yoshida Ayumi whispered to her two classmates, "Although he didn't ask us how we figured out his trick, we can tell it ourselves!"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya touched his chin, and he always felt that the two were not the same. One was to achieve a glorious victory after a bloody battle, and the other was to shamelessly whip the corpse of an enemy who had knelt down at the speed of light.
Genta Kojima didn't think too much about it. He originally wanted to reason according to Ayumi Yoshida's suggestion, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he remembered nothing.
After hesitating for a moment, Kojima scratched his head and pushed Conan: "You don't seem to be in good spirits today. I'll give you this highlight moment of solving the case!"
Conan: “…” What kind of highlight moment is this?
But this strange thief did give him a lot to say.
After thinking for a while, Conan pressed his forehead and introduced the matter into a rhythm that he was familiar with: "Mr. Kamekura, you are the thief who stole 500 million yen worth of jewelry from a nearby jewelry store five years ago."
Kamekura Yuji nodded: "Yes."
Conan: “…”
You should try to make an excuse!
He couldn't go on.
Kamekura Yuji looked at him, laughed, and took the initiative to say:
"But I'm not stupid. I knew that if I sold those unique jewels right away, I would be hunted by the police. So I had already chosen a place to hide the jewels before I started stealing them."
As he said this, he turned around and looked at the house: "At that time, this family was demolishing and rebuilding. The frame of the house had been built, and there were no tiles on the land to block it. It was a very convenient hiding place, so after I succeeded, I immediately buried the jewelry here.
"In order to get rid of suspicion and make myself look like an ordinary citizen who wanted to work hard and get rich, I worked as an apprentice in a famous restaurant for the next five years.
“The chef of that restaurant had a bad temper, but no matter how he scolded me or made things difficult for me, I endured it - when I thought that as long as I could survive the five-year retrospective period, those expensive gems would completely become mine, the suffering in front of me suddenly didn’t matter!
"I have endured until today. But the closer the five-year deadline got, the more excited I became. Eventually, I couldn't help but come here a few months early.
“I thought that as long as I was hired as an apprentice in this restaurant, I could dig for the jewels with peace of mind. But I didn’t expect that the business of this restaurant was so bad that there were almost no customers.
"Seeing his family sitting around doing nothing every day, I was so anxious that I had to teach them cooking skills, help them develop new menus, and pay for them to renovate the restaurant...Finally, they became busy, and I could focus on looking for the 'treasure' I had buried that year."
Conan looked at his suspicious hands: "..." Unexpectedly, those calluses were really like what Jiang Xia said, left by long-term use of knives and pots when he was a chef apprentice. But...
Conan: "Five years is only the criminal prosecution period, the civil prosecution period is a full 20 years. Even if you dig out the gems now, you can't sell them as smoothly as you think."
Kamekura Yuji was stunned: "Is that so?! I, I don't know..."
Conan pressed his temple painfully, and finally couldn't help but said angrily: "You are a jewel thief, and you are a jewel thief who intends to use the retroactive period to evade legal responsibility. How can you act without clarifying these details? - And in the past five years, haven't you read the relevant legal provisions at all! Do you respect your profession? "
Kamekura Yuji shrank back weakly. "...I, I wanted to consult a lawyer, but I'm a criminal after all. I get weak at the sight of them, and I don't have the patience to read such a thick law book. Anyway, I had the impression that there was a 5-year retrospective period, so I just implemented it."
Conan paced back and forth for a few steps: "But you are too impatient, aren't you? A few elementary school students told you 'we already know your secret' and you were provoked to do it directly? Didn't you think that this is actually a trap?"
Kamekura Yuji whispered, "Didn't you say you were the 'Boy Detective Team'? Detectives are scary. Even if they are elementary school students, they are still detectives."
The three children's ears twitched and they couldn't help but raise their chins: You have good taste!
Conan's eyes twitched wildly:
"What's so scary about a bunch of kids like us? Other criminals would just kill us, but you're different! Also, since you could think of using the 'hot spring trip' trick to get rid of Rentaro's family, why didn't you use it right from the start?
"Instead of spending a lot of money to decorate the store and spend so much time here, wouldn't it be faster and cheaper to give them a set of travel vouchers early on? - His family had no business at the time, and they definitely wouldn't mind going out for a few days to travel instead of spending time at home. In that case, you would have escaped long ago. Although you couldn't sell the jewelry directly, at least you wouldn't be caught by a few kids like you are now... It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all. What on earth are you thinking?"
Kamekura Yuji was stunned for a while: "What you said makes sense, I should have given them a set of travel vouchers earlier... Alas, I didn't even think of it at the time, it would have been great if I had met you earlier."
Conan: "..." How could there be such a stupid thief in the world! !
Next to him, Maya Hashimoto couldn't help but take a look at the collapsed child: "..." This little king must have criminal obsession, pursuing complicated tricks, perfect techniques, and smooth logic that can convince everyone.
Hashimoto Maya cautiously analyzed in her mind: "This is very similar to Uzo's thinking. Could it be that he was really taught by Uzo? ... Tsk, I may have underestimated the status of this little minion in the boss's heart. It seems that if I want to compete with him in the future, I need to be more cautious."
