Conan: Naruto

Dongfang Haoyue finished tying up, took back the embroidery needle, stood up, walked to the right of Kudo Shinichi, faced Taniguchi, looked back at the man in gray not far behind to the right, and asked with a smile:

"Big brother, what's your name~?"

"My name is Tetsuya Maeshima."

Tetsuya Maeshima stood inside the staff gate, looking at Dongfang Haoyue calmly.

"The moment Mr. Maejima turned the doorknob, the kidnappers rushed through the door as if they hadn't predicted it, which is too suspicious.

I figured...someone must have been at the bank tipping off the kidnappers. "

Kudo Shinichi stared at Taniguchi intently, and said calmly:

"Actually, before Mr. Maeshima opened the door, Haoyue and I discovered that you secretly took out your phone and pressed some buttons, and then the robber pushed the door open.

Because employees without security guards do not need to unlock the door to go out from the inside, and must use the access control card to enter from the outside, so...

So you make an agreement with the robber in advance to use the mobile phone to notify him when to push the door to enter the bank, and ask him to wait quietly outside the staff gate.

As for the evidence... just pressing the redial button on your phone will call the kidnapper's phone number. "

"Conan, others can also call the kidnapper!"

Suzuki Sonoko, standing behind Shinichi Kudo on the right, looked at Shinichi and reminded him earnestly:

"If someone else tipped off the kidnapper, wouldn't you misunderstand the good guy?"

"The most critical evidence is the throat lozenge wrapper in my hand."

Kudo Shin handed the kidnapper's mobile phone in his left hand to Dongfang Haoyue, took out the unfinished throat lozenges in his pants pocket, spread his hands upwards and placed them in front of him, revealing two and a half bags of candy wrappers, and calmly analyzed:

"My left hand is the candy wrapper given by Mr. Taniguchi, and my right hand is the candy wrapper of the kidnapper.

If you spliced ​​them into a complete candy wrapper..."

With a serious expression, Kudo Shinichi stitched the two pieces of candy paper together seamlessly from the tear, and concluded solemnly:

"You'll find the tear fits perfectly.

In other words, the other half of the throat lozenges in the hands of the kidnappers is in the hands of Mr. Taniguchi. "

"Could it be..."

The staff stood behind Kudo Shinichi on the left, with his right hand covering his red lips lightly, looking at Taniguchi and then at the kidnapper in surprise.

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi nodded slightly, and calmly analyzed:

"Mr. Taniguchi and the kidnappers had split throat lozenges somewhere beforehand, which means...

Taniguchi and the kidnapper must have someone whose fingerprint can be detected on the other's candy wrapper. "

"Mr. Taniguchi, you have no room for excuse."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Taniguchi with a solemn expression.

"Ugh......"

Taniguchi looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, sighed deeply, and recounted in a sense of loss:

"It was Toru Saeki who split the lozenge in half.

I met him in a casino, we borrowed usury loans but were unable to repay them, and finally set up this robbery plan...

Who would have thought that the plan had just begun...and ended so quickly..."

On the other side, Xiaolan, who was standing on the left side of Suzuki Sonoko, stared at Kudo Shinichi's back with a serious expression all the time, as if suspicious again.

--------

A new day, the sun is shining.

Art gallery.

"Hey, Shinichi."

Dongfang Haoyue dragged Kudo Shinichi to the bottom of a certain painting, pretended to look up at the painting, and discussed in a whisper:

"After you and Xiaolan went home yesterday, how long did it take you to get away with it?"

"A whole hour..."

Kudo Shinichi with his hands in his pockets stood on Dongfang Haoyue's right, pretending to look up at the painting, and resignedly recalled in a low voice:

"I told Xiaolan...that Maori detective taught me everything...

Xiaolan refused to believe me. She didn't let me go until Detective Maori went home for dinner and laughed and confirmed my statement.

Hey, Haoyue. "

Kudo Shinichi paused for a second, and asked curiously in a low voice:

"We parted ways at the mall last night, where did Yuanzi take Haoyue?

Why did Haoyue come home after more than two hours? "

"She..."

Dongfang Haoyue recalled in a distressed voice:

"She tortured me for more than two hours by rubbing her face and touching her head...

If it weren't for the face of that top oriental restaurant, I wouldn't let her torture me! "

"Did that woman in Yuanzi ask Dongfang again?

Haoyue insisted on playing handsome in front of her back then, she really asked for trouble! "

Kudo Shinichi looked at Dongfang Haoyue angrily.

Haoyue nodded helplessly, looked at Xinyi, and calmly replied in a low voice:

"Yeah...I'll just tell her anyway...I don't know anything~

But... Sonoko told me that if Dongfang doesn't show up again, she's going to find a new handsome man. "

"Yuanzi is still as flamboyant as ever..."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head helplessly, changed the topic, chuckled and joked in a low voice:

"That's good, at least Yuanzi won't be pestering Haoyue anymore~"

"correct!"

Dongfang Haoyue asked curiously in a low voice:

"Why was Shinichi so sure yesterday that Taniguchi was an accomplice?

I remember...Shinichi usually finds conclusive evidence before locking up the criminal!

Yesterday, Shinichi locked the prisoner in advance without comparing the candy paper, which is completely inconsistent with Shinichi's usual reasoning style~! "

"Haoyue didn't tell me..."

Kudo Shinichi looked up at the ceiling, and recalled in a low voice verbatim:

"If we know the name of the stranger who appeared before the case, then he is likely to be the prisoner or the deceased..."

Kudo Shinichi paused for a second, then calmly whispered:

"Yesterday, the only person who fit Haoyue's statement was Taniguchi!"

"what?

It turns out that Shinichi relies on this locked prisoner...

Hahaha......"

Dongfang Haoyue turned her head away, smiling awkwardly but politely.

"Ah, right!"

Kudo Shinkan looked at Dongfang Haoyue, and asked in a low voice with a dignified expression:

"Does Haoyue remember the young man from yesterday?

It's the man we're sitting in the bank lounge, front left. "

"Shinichi means...the person who reads a book and listens to music on a tape recorder with headphones on?"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Kudo Shinichi, and asked in a puzzled voice:

"What's up with him?"

"We went to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a statement yesterday afternoon... I asked Officer Megure for gloves, evidence bags and a new videotape in private, and he told me..."

Kudo Shinichi lowered his head slightly, and narrated in a deep whisper:

"The young man likes to covertly record information and sell it to the news media."

"what?"

Dongfang Haoyue stuck it to Kudo Shinichi's ear, and worried in a very low voice:

"Aren't we going to expose it on a large scale!"
