Conan's other self

"It's all money!"

"Okay, so many..."

"These two line-drawing cars are all filled with cash." Conan looked at the other two line-drawing cars with a serious face, and briefly flipped through the estimated cash amounts inside, "If you add it all up, I'm afraid there are hundreds of millions of yen..."

"Hundreds of millions!"

"How many servings of eel rice can you eat?"

"But... why is there so much money here?"

"Do you still remember what the principal said just now?" Maplehara replied, "Ten years ago, four robbers broke into the house of a nearby capitalist and stole gold nuggets worth 200 million yen..."

"Yes, yes..."

"There happen to be three line drawing carts with cash in them..."

Conan held his chin and thought, "I think that the white skeleton is probably the leader of the bandit group, and he used this place as a gathering point. He exchanged all the gold nuggets for this cash, and prepared to divide the loot here, but ended up dividing the money into three parts. After putting it into the line drawing cart, he fell to his death here, so the cash has been kept until now..."

"But won't others come here to look for you?"

"That belt," Fengyuan explained helpfully, "It should be a secret code, such as informing others to come here to share the spoils or something, but he died here before he could send out the secret code..."

"right…"

The primary school students all showed astonished expressions, and Conan couldn't help but pick up his phone and look at the photo of the tape taken. He felt itchy in his heart and wanted to go back to the classroom to unlock the code.

"This should be a transposition code..." Conan said.

"Transposition code?"

"Well, just roll a piece of paper on a round rod and write the text you want to write. Then take off the paper tape and you won't be able to see what was originally written! But it's not convenient to demonstrate here... "

"Anyway," Teacher Wakasa said, "let's tell the police what happened here first!"

"Ah, it's better not to say it directly..."

"How can we call the police in that case?" Maplehara immediately rejected Conan's idea, "It's better to tell the police officers you know? They won't refuse."

"Maplehara, Conan, what are you talking about!"

"That's right!"

"I don't understand."

"Maybe he is trying to set up a trap or something," Haiyuan Ai looked at Feng Yuan and said, "with a sinister expression on his face..."

"How can there be..."

Although he was sure that he didn't have that expression, Feng Yuan still pinched his face uncomfortably in an attempt to control himself.

Conan next to him explained:

"If the stolen money is still here, the remaining three robbers may still be looking for the stolen money. If they learn about the bones and tapes from the news, they may come here to look for the stolen money..."

"This way we can catch them all in one fell swoop." Feng Yuan continued, "Just like what Sherlock Holmes did in "The Dancing Man"..."

After all, there were hundreds of millions of yen in cash here, so Officer Takagi couldn't help but ignore it, and he quickly rushed over. Because of Teacher Xiaolin, Officer Shiratori also followed.

Although he was not sure whether the members of the bandit group would come today, they were old friends of the Youth Detective Group after all, so Officer Takagi still set an ambush to save his face.

After the news was posted online, three men came to the old warehouse to rummage and were caught red-handed.

As for the evidence...

After all, it was a case ten years ago. Even Officer Takagi didn't know if there was any evidence that could be compared. The young detective team could only help so far.

but…

On the way back to the classroom, Maplehara glanced at Mr. Wakasa who was chatting cordially with the elementary school students in front of him.

The traces of peeling rust on the iron door were very new, indicating that someone had opened the iron door recently. However, the man saw the white bones but had no reaction...

No, if the other party actually reacts...

"Ah, that's it." Haiyuan Ai's voice interrupted Fengyuan's thoughts.

"Eh?" Fengyuan was stunned for a moment.

"The expression you just showed is perfect for a thinking emoticon..."

"Hey hey..."

"You promised." Haiyuan Ai showed a dangerous expression, "Mr. Detective, are you trying to trick elementary school girls?"

"...I know," Fengyuan compromised, "I'll do it when I get back today..."

In order to exchange for a photo of Haiyuan Ai's proud expression, he also agreed to use a photo of his own expression in exchange.

In short, the gangster gang incident ended like this. The young detective team also became familiar with the new teacher Wakasa, and even went to her house once to help solve a murder case next door to her house.

A few more days passed.

The Doctor's home.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to have so many things in common with Ye He and the kids..."

Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha who was discussing something with Haibara Ai not far away, and then winked teasingly at Kaedehara.

Although it was certain that Haibara Ai also took that strange medicine and became smaller, Kudo had always been stubborn and refused to admit it.

"That's Fushae's latest bag and cosmetics set," Maplehara explained. Although Haibara Ai doesn't use cosmetics now, it doesn't hinder her purchase. "It hasn't been launched in Japan yet..."

"Tch, you guys are really extravagant..."

"I want you to take care of it. Then what? You -"

"If you want to ask me a stupid question like [What are you here for?]..."

"What are you here for?" Fengyuan asked seriously.

"..."

"...Forget it, I can guess it even if you don't tell me." Fengyuan glanced at Haibara Ai and Kazuye, "Are you planning to take advantage of the light show to confess your love to Kazuye?"

"Hey! Keep your voice down!" Hattori Heiji's cheeks were slightly red, and he subconsciously glanced at Kazuha, who was still paying attention to the cosmetics.

However, considering his skin color, being able to show such a blush can already explain a lot of problems.

"It's already quiet enough..." Feng Yuan complained, "But you really came to Tokyo just once..."

"You who went all the way to London have no right to criticize me!"

"That's Conan, not me."

"I am talking about you!"

"…How did you know?"

"Kudo told me everything." Hattori Heiji showed a malicious look, "Secretly sneaking to London with your woman and two of you, even Kudo kept it secret..."

"..."

Damn Conan.

That guy didn't even know that he confessed to Haihara Ai in London, so he must have added fuel to the fire...

"At that time, I just wanted to rescue someone who almost couldn't come back." Feng Yuan said without changing his expression.

"Haha. It would be weird to believe you."

It wasn't long before the light show started, so after a few words, Hattori Heiji and Kazuha planned to go to the Mori Detective Agency to find Conan and Xiaolan, and called Maplehara and Haibara Ai together.

In fact, Maplehara, Haibara Ai and the doctor were planning to watch the light show at the Fourth Chome together.

However, Haibara Ai didn’t want to go to the Mori Detective Agency. So she and the doctor waited at home, waiting for Hattori Heiji and the others to return after calling Xiao Ran and Conan.

Because Kaede couldn't get rid of Hattori Heiji, he had to follow him to the detective agency.

However, the detective agency also has to wait.

Xiaolan had just returned from shopping for groceries with Conan, and she still needed to prepare dinner for her father who was coming back soon. So Kazuha went to cook with her, and Hattori Heiji and Kudo went to the Poirot Cafe downstairs to sit for a while.

"But," Conan complained to Hattori Heiji, "you really came to Tokyo just once..."

"I've heard this once before." Hattori Heiji picked his ears impatiently, "Besides, what qualifications do you have to criticize me after going all the way to London!"

You've said this again... Fengyuan complained in his heart.

"I, I just happened to be in London by chance at that time." Conan defended.

"Besides," Fengyuan decided to take revenge on Conan, "that was already the second time he confessed his love."

"Huh? The second confession?"

"Hey, hey, keep your voice down!"

"Why haven't you told me before?" Hattori Heiji asked, "When exactly? Where?"

"No, don't talk about my affairs!" Conan quickly tried to change the subject, "Speaking of which, Hattori, is it really okay? You chose today?"

"Um?"

"It's the date!"

"Ah, yes, it happens to be today..."

"Friday the 13th," Toru Amuro came over with a tray and brought them the juice they ordered, "Is it because of this?"

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment.

"There are many legends saying that this day is unlucky. The most often mentioned is Jesus. The last supper of Christ happened to be attended by 13 people, and 13 is an unlucky number after 12. Then Jesus was tortured The day is Friday."

"..."

"That's right." Looking at Hattori Heiji's expression, Toru Amuro continued, "The day President Kennedy was assassinated was also a Friday."

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"But this is Japan!" Toru Amuro seemed to change his face, and his original serious expression instantly changed to a smile, "You don't have to mind these things at all! It's just that starting from the beginning of the month, the day when counting to 13 falls on a Friday. According to The probability is twice a year. So you don’t need to mind, how about telling the person you like directly how you feel? Jesus and Kennedy did not die on the 13th.”

"..." Hattori Heiji didn't want to speak.

“But when it comes to Friday the 13th…”

Another unfamiliar voice came from the side, "On Friday, October 13, 1307, Philip IV ordered that the Knights Templar be arrested across the country, tortured for unreasonable reasons, and burned at the stake.

On Friday, June 13, 1483, the infamous Richard III executed an adviser he suspected of treason. The ancient Julius Caesar was betrayed by Lutus and killed on Friday the 13th. Moreover, today is the day when the Buddha died. Even in Japan, it is better to avoid today. "

Feng Yuan and others looked over.

It was a young man wearing a hat and glasses, with earphones in his ears connected to his mobile phone.

The speeches he just made also revealed that his knowledge reserve is extraordinary and eye-catching.

"I'm so sorry," he sipped his coffee, "because I accidentally overheard your conversation and couldn't help but say some nonsense."

"Hey," Conan asked Amuro Toru in a low voice. He didn't notice this person at all just now, "Is that person a regular visitor?"

"No," Toru Amuro shook his head slightly, "It must be the first time I've come here. He came in not long after you guys came in."

In fact, Feng Yuan felt that this man was here for Hattori Heiji. On the way to the detective office, he noticed someone following them. After this person came in, he first confirmed the location of Hattori Heiji.

However, it doesn’t feel like there’s any malicious intent…

The store door was pushed open again.

A man who looked to be in his early twenties walked in. His name was Otsuki Mingsuke, "Huh? Why haven't those guys come yet?"

As soon as he walked in, he asked Toru Amuro.

"Are you talking about the guys from the Mihua University Theater Company?" Toru Amuro replied, "They haven't come yet."

"Really," the man complained, "I clearly agreed to celebrate Xiao Wei's birthday here today."

He placed the bag he was carrying on the long table next to Maplehara. There was a sign on the table indicating that he had made an appointment. Then he opened the bathroom door and said, "I haven't been feeling well since noon."

"Are you okay?" Miss Azusa Enomoto asked with concern.

"it's okay no problem."

The man waved his hand and walked into the bathroom, and didn't come out for a while.

Someone had just interrupted, and there were more customers next to them. Maplehara and the others could not continue talking about topics that were not suitable for others to hear, so they were quiet for a while and listened to Hattori Heiji talking about his recent stay in Osaka. case encountered.

After a while, another man and woman came in.

"Hey, are you serious?" The man walking in front called Noriwu Anqi, "Are we the first ones here?"

He's also apparently a member of the Rice University theater troupe.

"Ah, no," Ms. Azusa Enomoto replied, "Mr. Otsuki was here just now, but he entered the bathroom and didn't come out."

"oh--"

"So," the person walking behind was Yui Yamashita, who came to celebrate his birthday, "Ozuki seems to have been feeling unwell at noon."

"Then while my boyfriend is away, I will have Xiao Wei all to myself." Norigo Anqi said, putting his arm around Yamashita Yui's shoulders.

"Hey, hey, stop making trouble." Yamashita Yui quickly pushed the other person away, and then lowered her voice, but Feng Yuan could still hear her clearly, "Norigo! I'll say it first, that matter must be kept secret. !”

"Well..." An Qi Dianwu didn't care about this, "Maybe I was drunk and accidentally said it..."

"Don't they sell alcohol here?" Yamashita Yui pushed the other person and asked him to sit at the table.

"Huh? Is that so?"

"However, Nagatsuka and the others haven't come yet."

"Yes, that guy is taking pictures now. He is seriously filming Xiao Wei's birthday commemorative video. That guy is obsessed with Xiao Wei."

"Nongzuka? How is it possible..."

"That guy always looks at me with a murderous look on his face every time I tease you."

"Isn't that the anger of 'Friends' wives are not to be played with'! Ozumi and Nagatsuka are in the same high school!" Yamashita Yui replied, "Norigo and I are just childhood sweethearts, we've only gotten to know each other well."

It had only been a minute, and I felt like all the motives for the murder were revealed...

Fengyuan complained in his mind, and then noticed another man pushing the door open and walking in.

I recommend a well-written Conan fanfic called "Conan: The Scarlet Tower", which is on the shelves today.
