Conan kissed me again and again, and Huiyuan was stunned

"Thank you~~~!"

Dongfang Haoyue took the transmitter and stuck it on the big button of his suit, then looked at the elderly woman with a smile on his face.

The woman clasped her hands in front of her chest and responded happily:

"You're welcome~"

The voice just fell.

"cough."

Kudo Shinichi watched Dongfang Haoyue retrieve the transmitter lovingly the whole time. He clenched his right fist to his lips, coughed lightly to regain his sanity, looked up at the old woman, and asked politely:

"Excuse me, where did that man go?"

"I don't know where he went, but I know he bought a can of coffee and used the phone there."

The elderly woman lowered her hands, looked down at Kudo Shinichi, and pointed her left index finger at the shorter open-air telephone booth on the left side of the cart.

Shinichi put down his right hand and rationally looked at the phone in the direction the woman pointed.

The same is true for Dongfang Haoyue.

The elderly woman put down her left hand, raised her head slightly, looked up at the dim sky, and recalled seriously:

"I remember... the man piled the change on top of the phone booth and made a long phone call until the change ran out, about ten minutes."

Dongfang Haoyue heard this and looked at the old woman in surprise, wondering in his heart:

"what's the situation?

We kept following the moving red dot to chase the man, and if he really had been making a phone call here for ten minutes, we should have caught up with him.

Is there a delay of several minutes in the movement of the red dot?

Is it because they haven't been charged for a long time, or is there a small problem with the glasses made by the doctor...?

I'd better ask the doctor to check my glasses tonight.

Anyway, Mingmei's special period will end at noon today, so I can go to her bedroom to get the money tonight without any worries~"

Dongfang Haoyue thought of this and smiled with relief.

Kudo Shinichi didn't care about the signal delay of the transmitter. He looked at the open-air telephone booth with a little thought, then looked up at the elderly woman and confirmed rigorously:

"Did the man ask you to give him change in 100 yen and 10 yen coins?"

"Well... that's right, but..."

The old woman recalled for a moment, tapped her chin with her left index finger, and told the story in detail:

"Because I was running out of 100 yuan coins, I mixed a 890 yuan coin into the 500 yuan change I gave him."

"I see."

Kudo Shinichi put his hands in his pockets, looked at the old woman thoughtfully, and analyzed calmly in his mind:

“假如我没有记错，那个男人在便利店拿到的零钱是1枚500元硬币、2枚100元硬币、1枚50元硬币和2枚10元硬币。

加上在这里获得的零钱，他能够用来拨打电话的零钱只有5枚100元硬币和11枚10元硬币、共计610元，剩余2枚500元硬币和1枚50元硬币。

If he already has change on him, he will have more change left after making the call.

In addition, he spent about 610 yen on the phone call, which took about ten minutes. Could it be a long-distance call?"

Kudo Shinichi turned his head and looked to the far left front, where the crowd was a little dense at the entrance of Beika Station, and reasoned steadily in his mind:

"It seems that the man most likely took the train to the place where the person he was talking to was located, and the distance was quite far.

No, wait, if it's a pay phone to a mobile phone, then even a local call would cost more, and I can't rule that out."

at the same time.

Dongfang Haoyue put his hands behind his back and clasped them together, looking at Kudo Shinichi curiously. He followed his gaze to the station and then looked back at him. He read his facial expression carefully but found it extremely complicated. He said in distress in his heart:

"It's a headache. I can't guess Shinichi's reasoning from his expression."

The thought just fell.

"Hey, kid."

An elderly man stood half a meter behind Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, wearing a light brown short-sleeved shirt, white gloves and a brown baseball cap worn upside down.

The man let his left hand fall to the left, holding a broom in his right hand to support the concrete floor in front of him. He looked down at Haoyue and Shinichi and confirmed in a friendly manner:

"Are you friends of the man in the black hat?"

"Ah, yes~"

Dongfang Haoyue was the first to react. According to the usual plot convention, he guessed that the elderly man was very likely to bring important clues, so he decisively turned 180 degrees and looked at him with a smile.

Kudo Shinichi turned around and looked at the man calmly without saying a word.

The elderly man took out a 50-yuan coin from the right pocket of his shirt, bent over and handed it to Dongfang Haoyue, who had just extended her hand, and said with a casual smile:

"That's great, I hope you can give this coin to that gentleman."

"Eh?"

Dongfang Haoyue held the coin in front of his chest, looked down at it, and described it in a cute way:

"50 yen?"

at the same time.

Kudo Shinichi kept his hands in his pockets, staring at the 50-yuan coin, and said with emotion in his heart:

"Perhaps it's because of the plot. Whenever we encounter difficulties in solving a case, there are always some clues around us. If I'm right, this coin must be an important clue."

at the same time.

The elderly man bent over and watched Dongfang Haoyue put coins into the inner pocket of his shirt, and explained in a friendly manner:

"The gentleman was in a hurry to buy a ticket to board the tram, but he forgot to take the 50 yuan coin from the ticket machine."

Upon hearing this, Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, his hands clenched into fists and dropped to his sides, and he asked excitedly:

"Where's the ticket machine is that!?"

"Over there, at the ticket machine for the Touto Line."

The old man straightened up, looked down at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, and pointed to the ticket machine on the left side of the open-air telephone booth.

Shinichi glanced at the ticket machine, then looked at the man, and asked expectantly:

"Do you know where he bought the ticket to?"

"Hmm...I don't know."

The old man turned his head and scratched his cheek to recall the past. He shook his head in vain and looked down at the slightly disappointed Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi. He changed the subject and narrated seriously:

"But I remember that he put in a 500-yuan coin to buy the ticket, and the ticket machine spit out five coins."

"Thank you!"

Kudo Shinichi looked down at the concrete floor, thought for a moment, and then an idea flashed across his mind. He suddenly looked up at the elderly man, thanked him loudly and sincerely, and decisively dragged Dongfang Haoyue, who was confused but happy that Shinichi had successfully deduced, to the ticket machine.

The man was extremely confused as he watched Haoyue and Shinichi turn around and run away.

The elderly woman leaned in place, folded her hands in front of her, and smiled as she watched Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stop side by side in front of the ticket machine.

Kudo Shinichi raised his head slightly and looked at the ticket machine showing the price list for three destinations, 260 yuan, 320 yuan and 380 yuan respectively. The corners of his mouth raised a smile of accomplishment and he said passionately:

"found it!"

"Eh?"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at the price list and then at Kudo Shinichi, and couldn't help but make a silly sound, and curiously whispered to confirm:

"Have you found where you want to go, Shinichi?"

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi nodded without hesitation, stood on tiptoe, carefully took out two 500-yuan coins from the inside pocket of his shirt and put them into the coin slot of the ticket machine, bought two tickets to Otoro Station, and took the change from the ticket machine and put it into his inside pocket.

He handed a ticket to Dongfang Haoyue who stretched out her left hand. He grabbed her right wrist as usual and dragged her to the ticket gate in the station far to the right. He turned his head to look at her and reasoned quickly:

"The old man just now said that he heard the ticket machine spit out five coins after the suspect bought the ticket.

That is to say, the suspect put in a 500-yuan coin and got five coins, including the 50-yuan coin picked up by the old man. "

Kudo Shinichi dragged the still confused Dongfang Haoyue through the dense crowd and added his analysis at a very fast speed:

“In addition, the ticket machines give priority to dispensing 100 yuan coins and 50 yuan coins as change.

所以刚才的价格表中、唯有320元的大渡间站车票可以收到1枚100元硬币、1枚50元硬币和3枚10元硬币的找零、共计5枚硬币、180日元。”

"Oh, is that so~"

Dongfang Haoyue calculated Kudo Shinichi's reasoning in his mind, and suddenly he understood and followed him to stop outside the ticket gate.
