A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 267 Treat gangsters as tools?
"It turned out to be Conan, why are you here, are you accompanying Mr. Mori to handle the commission?"

Yamamura said while poking his head into the car, wanting to see if his idol was in the car.

"No, this time the doctor and I came to visit relatives in Junma County, but the car broke down on the way. Fortunately, we met these two kind brothers and sisters. With their help, we were able to escape the blizzard."

Conan enthusiastically introduced the young men and women beside him to Yamamura. Facing Yamamura's gaze, their bodies were a little stiff, and their smiles were a little unnatural.

This immediately made Shancun Cao a little suspicious, and he kept looking at the two of them, as if he wanted to see something from the other's face.

"Is this your car?"

"Of course, this brother's family is very rich. Why would you ask such a question, Officer Mountain Village?"

Conan answered first, with a hint of showing off in his tone, those who didn't know thought the car belonged to him.

"Not long ago, we got news that the car that was said to be the jewel thief was found, but it was damaged. At the same time, not far from the car, we saw a middle-aged man who was unconscious and suspected that the car had been robbed."

Speaking of this, Yamamura Cao stared at the two of them closely, trying to see the clues from their faces.

"Officer, what do you mean, are you suspecting that we are jewel thieves?"

The young man roared sternly, as if he was apologizing for being suspected.

"Why do I think your voice is a little familiar?"

Yamamura Cao didn't answer the other party's question directly, but became more suspicious. He had confronted the robbers head-on, but the other party's face was covered so that he couldn't see his true face, but the voice of the conversation was remembered in his mind.

"Officer Mountain Village, many people have similar voices, so you can't just rely on this to suspect others."

Just when the young man was panicking, Conan stepped forward to help him out, and boldly pointed out the wrongness of the mountain village.

"Hahaha, yes, maybe I was too impatient, and there were three criminals, and one of them was shot in the thigh by me."

Even though he said that, Yamamura couldn't help but look at the woman's legs, because the other party had been covering them with a coat, which made him suspicious.

"It's too much. You still doubt us. Do you think I look like I've been shot?"

The yellow-haired woman sitting in the back seat suddenly got angry, and picked up the coat covering her lap to show her innocence.

This move immediately made Shancun Cao look a little embarrassed, he said with a haha.

"We are only responsible, please understand."

"Then can we go now, there are urgent things to do."

"Of course, of course."

Yamamura Cao immediately signaled his colleagues to move the fence to make way for the vehicles, and at the same time moved away, saying that he would not ask any more questions.

"Officer Yamamura, I have caused you trouble, so let's go first, come to Tokyo to play when you have time, I think uncle will welcome you very much."

"No problem, I will definitely go if I have the chance."

With the roaring sound, the vehicle gradually left Yamamura Cao's sight and reached the boundary of Tokyo smoothly.

"Little brother, I didn't expect you to be young, but you know a wide range of people. Thanks to you, we were able to pass so quickly."

"Yes, if I wasn't in the car, I'm afraid the uncle in the trunk would be found by the police."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the young men and women changed drastically, and they looked at Conan in horror, and said in an extremely unnatural tone.

"Little brother, what nonsense are you talking about, how can there be someone in the trunk."

"That's right, Conan, are you thinking too much again, how can you say this in a good manner?"

The doctor asked with a puzzled expression, he hadn't reacted from Conan's words.

"Presumably you are the jewelry thief that Junma County is chasing. The mountain village police officer said that the robber he shot, as expected, should be lying in your trunk."

After listening to the explanation, the doctor's face became solemn for an instant. He trusted Conan's reasoning, and looked at the young man and woman with vigilance, wanting to see what explanation they would give.

The young men and women looked at each other, and the panic on their faces gradually faded, replaced by indifference and a sneer.

"How did you find out, little brother?"

The yellow-haired woman asked with a smile, she didn't seem to worry about her identity being exposed at all, but waited for Conan's explanation with great interest.

"It's very simple, because of the big brother's inertial thinking when driving. This is a foreign car. The difference between it and the local car is the position of the driver's seat. One is on the right and the other is on the left."

"This big brother should be used to driving local cars, so he always drives in the middle of the road habitually when driving, and when he looks at the rearview mirror, he also looks at the left rearview mirror first."

"Also, the position of the turn signals and wipers is exactly the opposite of that of foreign cars and local cars. When turning at the intersection, the big brother originally planned to press the turn signal, but he habitually pressed the position of the turn signal of the local car. On this car, however, that spot is the wipers."

"This is enough to prove that this car is not yours, and you have never driven such a foreign car before."

After the young man driving the car heard Conan's narration, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he didn't even notice it.

"And I guess the reason why you agreed to get in the car so readily is probably to deal with the police. After all, there are old people and children in the car. When they see it, they will naturally relax their vigilance."

"It's just that you didn't expect that I would know the mountain village police officer, which made me a little flustered and nervous during the inspection. These made me more convinced of my guess."

"clap clap"

As soon as Conan finished his reasoning, the woman with yellow hair immediately raised her hands to applaud him, admiring in her mouth.

"Little brother, your observation skills are really good, but I don't know if you have guessed when you will die?"

A pistol suddenly appeared in the hands of the yellow-haired woman and touched Conan's temple. The woman smiled at the corner of her eyes, wanting to see the panicked look on Conan's face.

However, he was disappointed. Conan's expression did not change at all, and he was still calm and steady.

On the other hand, the doctor's face was already full of worries. He didn't expect such bad luck that he could run into the jewel thief even if he hitched a ride.

"Little brother, since you have already started to doubt our identities, why didn't you tell the policeman you knew just now?"

"Because... I'm in a hurry. If you are caught by the police, we will have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to take statements, and I have very important things to do tonight, so I can't afford to waste time."

"Hahaha, what an interesting kid, if it weren't for you revealing our identities and seeing our true colors, we might really send you to Xianqiao Station safely, now..."

The man who was driving laughed softly, and his tone of voice revealed playfulness, and the purpose was unclear.

"Then where do we get rid of them?"

"Didn't the little brother say that he has something important to go to Xianqiao Station tonight, of course we have to fulfill his wish, in order to repay him for helping us out just now."

After all, the young men and women laughed at the same time, as if they had seen the end of Conan and the doctor, and at the same time they were excited that they could escape the police.
