Conan Moslin
Chapter 20 Intelligence Gathering (4) - Arrest
When Conan and his companions stumbled around looking for the treasure, Conan found that there were more than one group of people holding something and asking around. Therefore, when he saw a few suspicious people in front of Tokyo Tower, he didn't take it seriously.
At night, the stars were shining brightly, and the gorgeous neon lights were flashing, which finally opened Conan's mind.
When Conan and his crew finally discovered the secret of the neon lights and found their location through the reflections of the river and the fish made of street lights, the three people who had been following them finally showed their claws.
"Thank you for your hard work... kids."
Conan looked at the three men, dressed in black, two blond, blue-eyed, hook-nosed foreigners and a local with a long, thin face.
There is no person named Hou Lian.
Conan frowned. It seemed that he was wrong, but he remembered that they had seen these three people in front of the Tokyo Tower.
Yuan Tai asked in a somewhat foolish tone: "Uncles, who are you?"
"Give it back to me, that's the treasure we found!"
Then Yuantai was beaten.
Several children were tied up and thrown aside, and everyone except Conan was a little scared.
Conan thought, if Hou Lian knew that these people would follow, then he was using them, or rather, he was using all the people who got the treasure map as bait!
Anger welled up in his heart. What on earth did this man want to do?
However, the most important thing now is to save yourself. Conan calmed down and thought that those people had not found the location of the gold coin. He looked up and looked at the place where the gold coin was just now, but found a dark shadow sitting there, swinging his legs, looking very leisurely.
Conan:?
At this time, Mitsuhiko asked about their identities in a low voice, Conan no longer looked up, but calmed down to explain to him. And the three people took over the conversation.
"Yes, these gold coins were stolen from our Italian bank a year ago..." The long-faced man smiled smugly and introduced their story with some pride. He felt that the gold coins were bound to be obtained.
The greatest kindness he could show was to chat with a few dying children and let them know at whose hands they died.
Under the children's terrified gaze, he reached into his pocket and slowly took out a gun.
The muzzle of the gun moved up and pressed against Conan's forehead.
"Tell me, where is the gold coin?"
Conan gritted his teeth and said, "It's a fish."
"what?"
"The night view of the bridge outside is the same as the fish pattern drawn on the code. That's where the gold coins are hidden."
"Oh, I see."
When Ayumi and the others were panicking and thought they were going to be killed, Conan was actually much more relaxed.
"We are the Junior Detective Team, right? We must stay calm!"
The three people held the piece of paper with the blood mark and slowly backed away from the window. When they saw the bridge lights and street lights finally overlap to form a fish, they raised their heads and their faces suddenly became terrified.
There were some dull sounds, followed by the sound of tearing cloth. There was no time to dodge, and the gold coins pouring down like water had already hit him on the head.
As the gold coins fell, Conan could vaguely hear a chuckle: "You want gold coins? Here they are."
Hou Lian!
When Conan looked up again, the black shadow had disappeared.
"Conan! Conan?"
Conan came to his senses and ran to the nearby police station with the children.
However, not long after they went out, they met police officers running in. They told each other what had happened while walking and arguing. When the police officers saw the child appear here, they felt relieved.
As soon as I came in, I saw three people buried in a mountain of gold coins on the ground.
Inspector Megure was asking about what happened, and Conan told him the whole story, from the blood-stained treasure map that was blown by the wind to them following the neon lights to find the treasure and being caught by these people. The young detectives then filled in the story around this part, but the incident of buying the treasure map was hidden.
"Take them away, and then assign a few people to send the children home." Inspector Megure ordered.
Conan looked at the police officer and thought something seemed wrong. How come the police arrived so quickly?
So when the police officers were collecting the gold coins, Conan took advantage of the opportunity and grabbed the corner of an officer's clothes.
"Uncle police officer, why did you get here so quickly?" Conan looked up at him and asked.
The police officer was a little nervous. He looked at his companion who was escorting three accomplices and moving gold coins, bent down and whispered to him: "Someone anonymously reported the whereabouts of Tino Cabana's accomplices."
"In the evening, someone called the police anonymously and said they had found the location of the treasure and saw several sneaky people walking towards this place."
The police officer thought for a moment and then said, "But he didn't say there were children here..."
So these kids were ignored and used as bait?
The slight trace of gratitude that Conan had finally felt towards Hou Lian was extinguished again.
……
Kuroba Kurian slid down the hook rope from the other side of the warehouse and disappeared into an empty corner.
She had just cut the bag of gold coins with a dagger, and then left through the window on the other side while Conan and the others were paying attention to the scattered gold coins.
She had already gotten to know this place well. She and Yuko had taken turns staying here these days. No matter how much she liked sleeping outside, she found this place boring at all.
It would be better to chat with the aunties during the day, at least you can get some information.
As for Tino Cabana’s gold coins, she didn’t feel bad about it, but she felt bad for the people who bought the news.
[Ming] Made a lot of money.
……
When some people finally deciphered the message and found the warehouse that night, they found only a few ropes and a few cloth bags hanging sadly where the gold coins were, without a single gold coin left.
Just when they thought that the gold coins had been taken away by someone else, the next day, Tino Cabana's companions were arrested and the news that all the maple leaf gold coins had been recovered spread through the news.
People and organizations who bought the treasure map couldn't help but wail.
When did they move so fast!
Afterwards, [Ming] in the dark "thoughtfully" announced the solution to the code, indicating that they had not deceived their customers and that they would definitely be able to find the treasure by following this map.
At the same time, Ming also released a notice, saying that it was a few children who found the location of the treasure and led Tino Cabana's accomplices there, which attracted the police. So the arrival of the police had nothing to do with Ming.
At the end of the announcement, there was a cartoon of a person spreading his hands.
[Ming] said, we really didn’t expect that you didn’t find a solution in three days. We even sent people to guard there.
People who bought the pictures: ...Are you trying to distance yourself from the issue or to add fuel to the fire?
But this result is well-reasoned, with pictures and truth, and the news mentioned that all the gold coins were recovered, which means that [Ming], who knew the hiding place, did not touch the gold coins at all.
No matter how aggrieved they are, they can only admit that they are not as skilled as others.
Thus, this grand treasure hunt came to an end.
