Conan: Naruto

"In other words, that disk contained evidence that Mihua Construction Company had falsified accounts and bribed politicians."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Kudo Shinichi and concluded steadily:

"It seems that the person that the middle-aged man wearing sunglasses is looking for is not Sister Xiaolan, but the disk that Mr. Shitara secretly put into Sister Xiaolan's bag."

"That is to say..."

Xiaolan stood up and looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi with an uneasy expression. She thought for a moment and analyzed worriedly:

"Because the middle-aged man caught Mr. Shitara but could not find the disk, he suspected that the disk was hidden on me who had been in contact with Shitara, so he specifically asked the bus driver about my whereabouts."

"what?"

Suzuki Sonoko made a sound of extreme surprise.

She looked at Xiaolan with excitement and suggested cautiously:

"According to this, we must call the police immediately!"

"Sister Sonoko~"

Dongfang Haoyue reached into the pocket of Kudo Shinichi's pants, took out his mobile phone, and innocently gestured:

"I will call Officer Megure on my mobile phone now~~~"

suddenly!

"Put the phone down!"

A fat young man wearing a white coat, black lining, brown tie, and semi-circular sunglasses stood in the front row of the bus, facing everyone.

He held a sharp dagger in his right hand and looked at the cleaning staff and Xiaolan far ahead with an inward look.

The cleaning staff who was listening to the conversation between Xiaolan and the four of them were startled. While retreating towards Xiaolan and the four of them, they looked at the young man and yelled in panic:

"You, what are you going to do?!"

At the same time, Xiaolan and the others looked at the young man without any panic, and even wanted to laugh a little.

The man locked his eyes on Xiaolan, who had a blue satchel hanging on her right shoulder, and demanded confidently:

"Hurry up and hand over the disk, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

The voice just fell.

Eight embroidery needles stabbed eight parts of the young man's body with precision and grace.

As he fell heavily to the iron floor with a "bang!" sound, the dagger also fell from his weak right hand to the ground, making a crisp collision sound.

"What, what's going on?!"

The young man lay on the ground with a large font, tried his best to look up at Xiaolan and the others, and said in horror:

"I...my body...why can't I move!!!"

"Don't worry, we are just temporarily interrupting the connection between your brain and body nerves!"

Suzuki Sonoko jumped up to a meter in front of the young man's head with cheerful steps, put her wrists on both sides of her waist, looked back at Dongfang Haoyue, who had been robbed of her role, and asked for approval with a smile:

"Haoyue, am I right~?"

"Yes~~~!"

Standing there, Dongfang Haoyue looked at Suzuki Sonoko cutely, raised her hands in the air, and smiled cooperatively.

Yuanzi nodded with satisfaction, looked condescendingly at the young man again, and interrogated him in the style of a criminal investigation drama:

"Say!

Where is Mr. Shigekichi Shitara who was captured by you? "

"I think... it should be with his associates."

Xiaolan stood to the right of Suzuki Sonoko, turned to look at Sonoko, recalled and denied:

"I remember the person being followed on the bus this afternoon was not the young man lying on the floor, but another middle-aged man with a beard around his mouth."

"what?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Xiaolan in disbelief and then at the young man who had regained his composure a little, and confirmed in disbelief:

"How can a new criminal like you have an accomplice?"

"Damn it, if I hadn't been worried about you calling the police, I would never have jumped out openly!"

The young man tried his best to look up at Suzuki Sonoko, gritting his teeth and saying harsh words.

"I advise you to explain it honestly and clearly."

Kudo Shinichi stood in front of Xiaolan without realizing it, stared at the young man intently, and reminded him seriously:

"If you honestly tell me where Mr. Shitara is now, then the court may be able to reduce your sentence during the trial."

"In a word!"

Dongfang Haoyue stood quietly in front of Suzuki Sonoko, stared at the young man with sharp eyes, and said with integrity and righteousness:

"Leniency for confession, strictness for resistance!"

"All right......"

The young man nodded dejectedly and stated clearly:

“My eldest brother and I are socially idle people employed by Longshen Economic Research Institute.

Because the disk stored insider equity transactions between the institute and Mihua Construction Company, the institute asked us to take the disk back.

I followed my elder brother's instructions and went to a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old and was carrying a blue satchel to ask for the disk back. "

"The black car that followed us earlier was your car, right?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at the young man firmly.

The man nodded without thinking, gave up struggling and admitted:

"Correct."

"So, you imprisoned Mr. Shitara in Ryujin Economic Research Institute?"

Dongfang Haoyue put her hands behind her back and looked at the young man seriously.

The man nodded again and confessed without reservation:

"Correct."

"That...Conan, Haoyue."

Xiaolan lowered her head, looking back and forth at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi in confusion, and said uncertainly:

"You seem to be very skilled."

"That's it!"

Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips, looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi back and forth in surprise, and commented sharply:

"No matter how you look at it, you all look like adults."

"Ah?"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi calmly turned to look at Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan, scratched their heads with their right hands in unison, and said in unison:

"We are just imitating the plot of the TV series interrogating prisoners!"

"Well... that's right."

Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan were talking, and then they suddenly thought of Shitara Shigekichi who was still imprisoned. They accidentally covered their red lips with their right hands and exclaimed in unison:

"Oops!

We almost forgot that Mr. Shitara is still in danger and has not yet escaped! "

"This is simple~"

Dongfang Haoyue took out Dr. Ali's spare flip phone that he had just taken from Kudo Shinichi's pants pocket from the right pocket of his pants. He opened the phone cover with his thumb and pressed the phone buttons quickly.

Six seconds later, Haoyue placed the phone next to her ear and greeted innocently:

"Hi~~~

Officer Megure~~~! "

After half a minute.

Dongfang Haoyue hung up the phone, looked up at Suzuki Yuanzi and Xiaolan, and recounted with a smile:

"Officer Megure asked us to take the prisoner to the Ryujin Economic Research Institute. He should arrive earlier than us."

"Ah."

Kudo Shinichi responded lightly and turned to look at the dagger on the floor to the right of the young man.

Shinichi took out the evidence bag and white handkerchief from his coat pocket, held the dagger through the handkerchief and put it into the evidence bag, while calmly judging:

"It seems that the distance between the Metropolitan Police Department and the research institute is closer than the distance between us and the research institute."
