Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

"Yes! Of course!" Shinichi returned the hat to him, then took a step forward and acted according to Akai's request.

Akai put his knees on the sand and gently asked Xiaolan: "Excuse me, are you and that boy here together?"

"No." Xiaolan shook her head: "I came here with Shinichi's mother."

"Then, could you please ask that mother to help call the police? Just tell them that a car has crashed into the sea and it's an emergency."

"Okay, okay." Xiaolan supported herself on the edge of the swimming ring with her two little hands, looked around, and said in a coquettish voice: "Shinichi mom! Shinichi mom!"

"What about me?" Xiao Shiliang looked at Akai expectantly: "What should I do now?"

"Please let me help you too!" She clenched her two little hands, placed them in front of her chest, and looked at him sincerely.

Akai propped up his chin with his hand: "Let me think about it, eh!" He clapped his hands: "Then go and tell the uncle in the parking lot for me if he sees any guests who are soaking wet or wearing swimsuits and want to go out."

"Ask him to stop the guest from leaving. Tell him that if there is such a person, he might be an accomplice of the bad guys. Can you help me?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Shiliang showed a satisfied expression, with his iconic fangs hanging on the corners of his mouth.

"How was it? Do you have any impression?" Shinichi asked the clerk anxiously, "The person who just bought clothes like T-shirts and put them on immediately, after the car fell into the sea with a bang."

The clerk tilted his head and recalled: "I remember there were two or three people, but I don't remember what they looked like."

Shinichi continued to ask, "Is there anyone whose hair is soaked?"

The clerk smiled bitterly: "I think everyone is soaked... because we are here to play at the beach..."

"I think there should be three people." Hideyoshi held a T-shirt with anime patterns on it and explained with a smile: "Because I have been staying in this store since just now."

"I'm hesitant about buying this dress."

"Is it true?" Shinichi was a little skeptical.

Hideyoshi put on his glasses and smiled, "Because I was playing shogi, I'm good at memorizing things."

Not long after, the local police arrived. They were a man with thinning bald hair and round glasses.

He asked Yukiko, "You said the car crashed through the fence on the other side of the cliff and fell directly into the sea, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, this man was the driver of the car, so you pulled him up and called the police?"

"No." Yukiko caressed Xiaolan who was hiding behind her: "Although it was me who called the police, it was he who pulled the man out of the sea."

He adjusted the frame of his glasses: "Who are you?"

Akai said expressionlessly, "I am just an ordinary international student currently studying at a university in the United States. I am on a rare trip back to Japan today to spend the holiday with my family."

"Is that so?" The police officer inadvertently noticed Yukiko, who had an impressive figure that was almost like a supermodel.

He shook his head to focus himself. "But when I reported the case, I said there was another person in the car. Is that true?"

"That big brother said that!" Xiaolan immediately pointed at Akai behind her.

"What's your reason for saying that?"

"I think so because only the passenger window of that car was fully open."

Akai reasoned: "The practice car is right-hand drive. If there is only one person in the car, it would be too unnatural to only open the passenger window."

"I guess the other passenger opened the window and escaped from the car before the seawater filled the car, blended in with the guests at the beach, and left."

The police officer turned his back and glanced at the crowd of onlookers: "But even if we don't open the car window, can't we just open the door?"

Akai explained calmly, "It's because of the water pressure. When the car rushed into the water, there was still air inside the car, so the door couldn't be opened due to the water pressure."

"So, the person in the passenger seat would choose to open the window and escape from the car, right?"

The police officer fanned himself with his hands, frowning as he sorted out the situation in his mind and summarized it simply: "So the guy abandoned his companions and ran away alone."

"No." Akai leaned forward: "When the accident happened, the man was not wearing a seat belt, so he was injured because of the reaction force of the car hitting the guardrail."

"His head hit the windshield hard, causing spinal fractures and instant death. It is reasonable to speculate that his companions found that he did not respond when they called him after falling into the water."

"I judged that he was beyond saving, so I decided to open the car window and escape from the car on my own."

"But if that's the case," the police officer expressed his opinion, raising a key question: "Why would he pretend to be a guest, since he met an unexpected victim?"

"As long as it's aboveboard——"

Akai raised his hand to stop him, and said with certainty: "I think that's because that person has a reason to hide his identity, so he hides in secret."

The police officer was still a little confused: "Why do you have to hide your identity?"

Akai put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "Did a watch shop get robbed nearby?"

The police officer looked at him in surprise: "Indeed...indeed...about an hour ago, we received a report that a watch shop one kilometer away from here was robbed by two robbers."

"But..." He swallowed, "This matter has not been reported on the Internet yet... How do you know? Who are you? "

"Are you a hacker?" The police officer reached into his arms, ready to press the record button.

Akai smiled faintly, "I'm not a hacker, because this bag was placed on the back seat of the vehicle that sank into the sea."

He kicked it with his foot. "The bag is full of brand-name watches, all with price tags tied to them."

The police officer retorted: "But maybe the middlemen are transporting the goods to the stores."

Akai had expected this in his heart, and retorted: "If that's the case, in order to avoid scratches, the product should be placed in a box or bag."

He leaned forward and said, "I would stuff them all into the bag so rudely. My mind would only be filled with thoughts on how to immediately snatch the fleeing robber."

Akai turned his head and asked, "So, there were absolutely no witnesses. Did anyone see what the duo of robbers looked like?"

The police officer replied hesitantly: "No...no."
