Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

The so-called empty room is a serious empty room.

Not to mention the room was empty, the empty room in front of Sotakuya didn't even have any furniture.

There were smooth tiles on the ground, and on the wall directly opposite the door was a large safe that looked difficult to open.

“1、2、3、4、.10、11、12。”宗拓哉一个个数着保险箱上的旋钮发出由衷的赞叹：

"There are actually 12 knobs, which means the safe has a total of twelve digits."

Sotakuya's praise made Suzuki Jirokichi feel very proud, so he said proudly: "Not only do you need to remember the 12-digit password clearly, but you also need to make sure the rotation order of the knob is correct.

This is the last work made by the famous Sansui Kichiemon before his death - Tetanuki! "

"Well, this is really..." Sotakuya didn't realize it. He was not very familiar with Sansui Kichiemon, but from Suzuki Jirokichi's words, he seemed to know why the old man invited him so enthusiastically. Come home.

"I'm talking to Uncle Jirokichi, did you accidentally forget the password to the safe?"

Just when Suzuki Jiroyoshi was bragging about how powerful the mechanism called the iron raccoon safe was, Sotakuya's words made Suzuki Jiroyoshi's boasting come to an abrupt end.

Seeing Suzuki Jirokichi's face turn red and white, Sotakuya still didn't know that his words just hit Suzuki Jirokichi's pain point.

This old man who has always wanted to be strong has actually forgotten the password to his safe.

After a long while, Suzuki Jirokichi sighed, and then said quietly: "Takuya, you are right, I did forget the password of this safe.

To be precise, I have been unable to remember the combination of the safe since the past two years. "

Forgetting the safe password has something to do with age, but it doesn't have much to do with it.

Not to mention the safe password, how many people can remember the QQ password that has not been used for a long time?

For Suzuki Jirokichi, the safety function of this iron raccoon safe is not even worth the name of the safe itself.

After all, this safe is just a collection of Suzuki Jirokichi.

But what if Suzuki Jirokichi started having trouble remembering passwords two years ago?

"Uncle Jiroji, since you couldn't remember the password in the past two years, why didn't you write down the password to prevent this from happening?"

When Sotakuya said this, Suzuki Jirokichi's face became even more bitter.

"How could I not have written down the password to the safe? Do you remember Lupine?"

If someone else had asked this question, Sotakuya would have thought he was asking the Kaitou, Lupine III.

But if this question was asked by Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi, he was probably talking about the pet dog called "Lupin".

"Speaking of which, I did not see Lupine this time." Sotakuya nodded to express that he remembered Lupine.

Suzuki Jiroyoshi is usually inseparable from his pet dog all day long, especially at home.

Zong Takuya did feel a little strange when he didn't see Lupine this time.

But Sotakuya didn't think much about it - what if Lupine was taking a bath, getting his hair cut, etc., wouldn't it be normal for a pet dog?

Or maybe you are sick and being treated by a pet doctor.

But if Suzuki Jirokichi said so.

Suzuki Jiroyoshi did not hide anything from Sotakuya, and said frankly to the "iron raccoon" on the wall of the empty room:

"When I found that I couldn't remember the code for Iron Fox, I wrote down the way to open Iron Fox on Lupine's scarf. Every time I needed to open Iron Fox, I just had to take Lupine with me."

Zou Takuya's expression became more and more astonished. He looked at Tieli in shock: "Could it be that the last time you opened Tieli, you locked Lupine in!"

"Alas" Suzuki Jirokichi sighed again, and then said: "The last time I was about to close the iron raccoon, no one noticed that Lupine was locked in the safe.

Fortunately, Tetanuki is not a completely enclosed safe, and Sansui Kichiemon has a vent underneath.

Only then can I feed and water Lupine with a plate and crutches every day.

Fortunately, there is a lot of space inside the Iron Civet. My parents and I used to use the Iron Civet as a shelter. "

"Then you came to me to ask me." Zong Takuya guessed Suzuki Jirokichi's purpose, but he always felt that Suzuki Jirokichi's idea seemed to be a little off track.

Sure enough, Suzuki Jirokichi grabbed Sou Takuya's arm and said sincerely: "Takuya, I want to ask you to help me open the iron fox! Rescue Lupine!"

"Ah? This" Zong Tuozai was speechless. Zong Tuozai was very speechless.

It's not that he deliberately resisted and didn't want to help Suzuki Jirokichi. If Suzuki Jirokichi needed his help in investigating anything, Sotakuya agreed without saying a word.

But this is about unlocking.

Is he really incapable of being a policeman?

Sotakuya is not completely incapable of opening locks. Common locks can be opened by Takuya with a little tinkering.

At the end of the day, the ordinary lock will basically open with just one shot.

But in the face of this kind of professional safe, coupled with the various mechanisms on the safe that Suzuki Jirokichi just mentioned, are set up to prevent theft.

He really can't handle it!

The institutions set up in Sansui Kichiemon's era were basically designed to kill people.

If something went wrong, the safe would not be opened and his life would be lost.

Sotakuya was a police officer with both the National Police Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department. If he died because of a job like picking a lock, it would be the best hell joke of the year for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Looking at Suzuki Jirokichi's sincere request with tears in his eyes, Sotakuya decided to show the old man a clear path:

"Uncle Jiroji, I'm really not good at opening locks. I think if you want a professional to open a lock, you should go find one."

"Detective, right?" Suzuki Jirokichi picked up what Sotakuya didn't finish.

Sotakuya choked on the words Kaitou Kidd. Looking at Suzuki Jirokichi's suddenly high-spirited eyes, he was really, really speechless this time.

Isn’t it now that you are still here with high morale?

Your canine teammates are locked in the safe!

Sotakuya also understood that it was not an easy task to make Suzuki Jirokichi, the stronger old man in his life, bow his head.

It's impossible for Sotakuya to let Kaitou Kidd take off his vest to provide offline support.

There are countless people in the world who can open the iron tanuki made by Kichiemon Sansui, especially those who are skilled in unlocking.

Even if Sotakuya brings Kuroba Kaito here, people will inevitably not associate him with Kaito Kidd.

Zong Takuya doesn't know how to cheat people.

So Sotakuya could only use a roundabout way to enlighten Suzuki Jirokichi: "You may have misunderstandings about the police, but your understanding of the detective is extremely clear.

It's certainly a good idea to ask a detective to help, but maybe we can have a better idea? "(End of chapter)
