Chapter 53 The Inscrutable Person Calling the Police
The next night Jiang Xia called the police.
Conan and the other three kids followed the treasure map and finally found a building with "Oni Sakura" written on it.
At this point, let alone the three first-grade kids.
Even Conan was secretly excited when he thought of the huge amount of gold coins that were enough for a bath. After all, he was just a 17-year-old kid.
The naughty kids cheered, and Conan took the lead and ran into the building excitedly.
However, the moment he entered the door, a figure suddenly reached out from the wall inside the door, grabbed Conan into his arms, and covered his mouth.
It was already night and the environment was very dark.
The other three children didn't notice anything unusual and followed Conan in stupidly.
…and were captured one by one by the ambushers.
Conan struggled desperately, staring at the scene with a pale face.
There were several tall figures lying in ambush, and this was where the treasure was hidden... He instantly thought of the group of international thieves on the run.
Conan gritted his teeth and looked at the criminals in front of him. According to convention, the "robbers" should have sneered at this time, then pulled out their pistols, loaded them, put the muzzles of the guns on their heads, and forced them to tell where the treasure was...
Sure enough, the next second, Conan saw the big man in a suit who grabbed him and gave him a sinister expression with an artificial smile.
The big man reached his rough hand into his pocket and pulled out...
A police ID.
Conan: “……?”
"Little friends." The police officer, with dark circles under his eyes from working overtime, tried to force a smile at the naughty kids, "Don't be afraid, we are the police."
…
Miwako Sato emerged from the shadows and had the four children brought aside.
She continued to squat at the door, half-believing and ambushing the robbers who might follow the child into the building based on the information provided by "Anonymous".
A few minutes later, the three Italian robbers actually showed up.
…
Although the robbers were tall and strong and each had a gun, their fighting power was obviously not good enough.
Sato went over and kicked two of them away. Even Takagi pinned down the other one without much effort.
The robber was defeated in an instant and was handcuffed and taken to the police station in disgrace.
…
Sato breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to the four children and planned to take them back to the Metropolitan Police Department.
But the children refused to go with her.
Conan even said something shocking: "The stolen 15,000 gold coins are hidden in this building!"
After he finished speaking, he saw Sato Miwako, who indeed showed a surprised expression.
But soon, Conan was surprised to find that Officer Sato did not seem surprised that there was "treasure on the roof", but was wondering why the children knew this.
Miwako Sato bent down and patted the heads of the children: "Thank you for the information you provided, but the gold coins are no longer here. Come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us first, and we will talk about other things later."
——Yesterday, after receiving a call from "Anonymous", the police rushed to the building as soon as possible and searched inside and outside because it involved an international wanted criminal.
However, they did not find the stolen gold coins, and only found a few discarded empty bags on the top floor.
…
Miwako Sato led the four confused children back to the Metropolitan Police Department, while the international wanted criminal was taken to another place.
The treatment on both sides was completely different. The children sat in a spacious and comfortable office and were fed biscuits and hot tea.
But Conan was in no mood for cookies.
What he was more concerned about now was why the police were lying in ambush in the building and knew that the criminals were following them.
This question was soon answered.
…
Gao Mu held a notebook and asked several children: "Have you ever seen a person who calls himself 'Anonymous'?"
Now the robbers have been caught, but the stolen goods are gone. In this regard, "Anonymous" is very suspicious.
"No." Conan pondered Officer Takagi's words and gradually understood, "Did 'Anonymous' tell you that the robbers would go to the Onizakura Building? And he mentioned us?"
Gao Mu glanced at him in surprise.
He was worried that the child would not understand the situation, but he only asked one question and the child immediately understood the cause and effect.
Takagi Shigeru: “…” No, if you think about it carefully, it may be because these children have come into contact with Anonymous, so they immediately think of her!
Officer Takagi was cheered up and felt that there would be great gains.
He took the recorder and played an anonymous recording of a police call to the children, and asked expectantly:
"It's this kind of voice. Have you ever heard it?"
However,
Contrary to what Takagi thought, all four children shook their heads.
…
The voice in the recording is very nice, and has an indescribable rhythm that is very recognizable.
Conan was very sure that he had never heard such a sound.
However, just because you haven't heard Anonymous speak doesn't mean you haven't seen her.
Conan thought: Maybe this afternoon, when the Junior Detective Team was looking for treasure with the treasure map, they were seen by Anonymous by chance. So she made the speculation that "the children found the building while looking for treasure and were followed by robbers" and made the prophetic call to the police.
In other words…
Conan's eyes lit up: He could use this to reversely determine the scope of Anonymous's actions today!
——Conan has a strong ability of observation and he always pays attention to time while searching for treasure.
He can remember what time and approximately where he took action.
In other words, as long as we compare the time when Anonymous called the police with the location where he went treasure hunting this afternoon, we can determine the time period and location where Anonymous appeared. Then we can look for nearby surveillance cameras and find relevant clues.
The more Conan thought about it, the more he thought this was feasible.
He pushed up his glasses and asked calmly, "What time did she call the police?"
"Well...wait a moment."
Gao Mu glanced at the information and quickly replied: "Yesterday morning 9:17."
The fighting spirit in Conan's eyes froze.
He was stunned for two seconds, suspecting that he had heard wrongly: "Yesterday?"
