Conan: Another Famous Detective

Half past eight in the evening.

The group finally arrived in Shibuya.

"Heiji? Heiji?" Kazuha's call brought Hattori Heiji back to his senses.

"What's wrong Kazuha?" Hattori Heiji asked confused.

Heye looked at him with a puzzled expression: "I still want to ask you! Why did I feel that your expression was in a trance and you couldn't concentrate from the moment you got off the car? We are going to the opposite side now!"

Hattori Heiji was stunned, and when he turned his eyes, he saw Akira Hanomiya and his party waiting in front of the zebra crossing not far behind him.

Apparently everyone was getting ready to cross the street, but he was the only one who continued to move forward.

Hattori Heiji shook his head, forcing what he heard on the train to be temporarily forgotten, and said: "Sorry, sorry, I was distracted just now."

He quickly returned to the team amid He Ye's dissatisfaction, and the group also crossed the road along the zebra crossing.

"That coffee shop should be not far ahead." The student at the end of the university laughed.

Sure enough, after walking about a hundred meters, the classmate pointed ahead and said, "That should be right there!"

Several people looked at the place pointed by their classmates and were stunned for a moment.

"Why is there a police car parked in front of that coffee shop?" Xiaolan asked in surprise.

Yu Gongming looked resigned: "I can really escape the first grade of junior high school, but I can't escape the fifteenth grade..."

"No matter what, let's go see what's going on first!" Conan cheered up.

So, a group of people arrived in front of the coffee shop.

"You must guard this place and not let anyone in." A police officer told the police.

When Yu Gongming took a look, he was an acquaintance as expected.

"Officer Takagi!" He stepped forward and said hello directly.

Officer Takagi turned around after hearing the sound and immediately said in surprise: "Detective Hanomiya? Huh? And Hattori and Conan? Why are you here?"

Hattori Heiji replied: "We came to this cafe to find someone. What happened here?"

"It was an injury incident." Officer Takagi replied very naturally: "A man wearing a strap was beaten in the toilet."

"A man with a bandage?" Hattori Heiji's face changed slightly, and he took out a photo of Mr. Kunisue from his arms: "Excuse me, is this the person who was beaten?"

Officer Takagi took a look at the photo and nodded: 'Yes, that's him...'

After a pause, he suddenly looked up at Hattori Heiji: "Wait a minute! Why do you have..."

Hattori Heiji replied: "It seems that we are also relevant personnel. Can you let us go in and take a look?"

Officer Takagi hesitated for a moment and then agreed to the request.

…………

Sports cafe, toilets.

Hattori Heiji looked inside: "In other words, Mr. Kunisue was beaten while sitting on the toilet, right?"

"Yes." Officer Takagi introduced: "At that time, there was blood on his head and he was sitting weakly on the toilet."

"Is he okay now?" Kazuye asked worriedly.

"He was seriously injured and has now been sent to the hospital." Officer Takagi replied.

"Really, there are clear clues every time, but we always arrive a step late." Meng Yu sighed: "If we had come a little earlier, maybe we could have avoided this incident."

"It won't help to say this now. It's better to find the person who beat him quickly. Then we will go to the hospital to visit Mr. Sue and get the amulet back by the way." Hanemiya Ming said.

"That's right." Hattori Heiji nodded and looked at Officer Takagi: "So, are there any clues now?"

Officer Takagi looked at the notepad: "What is certain at present is that the time of the crime was probably between 7:55 and 8:05 in the evening."

"Is the time so accurate?" Yu Gongming raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes." Officer Takagi explained: "Because today happens to be the first anniversary of the opening of this store, the store manager sent out crackers to every customer and planned to have a small celebration at 8 o'clock."

"The time for handing out crackers was 7:55. At that time, the clerk introduced the first anniversary to Mr. Kunisue who was sitting at the bar and also handed out crackers to him."

"Mr. Kunisue put down the cracker and went to the toilet."

"Later, after the celebration at 8 o'clock, the clerk found that Mr. Kunisue had not come back, so he went to the toilet, found Mr. Kunisue who had been knocked unconscious, and then called the police, right?" Akira Hanamiya confirmed.

Officer Takagi nodded and replied: "However, the clerk said that he heard a strange wailing sound from the toilet when he was setting off the crackers."

"Then why didn't he go to the toilet and take a look at that time?" Hattori Heiji frowned.

"According to his statement, he was busy cleaning up the crackers after they were fired," Officer Takagi replied.

"Did anyone leave the store during these ten minutes?" Conan asked. ,

"Probably not, because there was some problem with the cash register in the store at that time, so the customers stayed in the store." Officer Takagi replied.

"That is to say, the prisoner is still in this store now." Hattori Heiji said calmly.

"Yes." Officer Takagi looked at the guests outside: "So I am planning to question these guests one by one."

"That would be too troublesome." Yu Gongming shook his head: "Just ask these guests to do one thing."

"Eh? What's the matter?" Officer Takagi was confused.

"It's very simple!" Hattori Heiji seemed to be confident: "Officer, just do as we say later."

"Huh?" Officer Takagi became even more confused.

…………

"Everyone!" Officer Takagi stood at the entrance to the toilet, attracting the attention of all the guests.

"I am Police Officer Takagi from the Metropolitan Police Department!" After a brief self-introduction, Officer Takagi went straight to the point: "Just now, an injury incident occurred here. I now hope that you can cooperate with me in the investigation!"

After a pause, he continued: "I heard that the store's first anniversary celebration was held at around 8 o'clock today. I will count three, and then please give me the evidence that you participated in the celebration immediately. !”

Before the guests could react, Officer Takagi continued: "Okay! I'm going to start counting down now! Everyone, get ready, 3, 2, 1!"

Wow!

Almost all the guests squatted down and groped on the ground.

But since it is almost, it means there are exceptions.

And there are quite a few exceptions—three in total!

The three men were still standing upright when the guests were squatting down.

"Eh?" Xiaolan and Ye both let out a low cry.

Hattori Heiji smiled slightly: "Are these three people?"

Conan pushed up his glasses: "Narrowing the target to three people is already a major progress."

Officer Takagi looked at the three of them seriously: "Then it's you three. I need to ask you some questions and ask for your cooperation in the investigation."

The three people looked at each other for a while, and one of them said: "Can I ask the reason?"

"That is to say, why us?" Another person also showed dissatisfaction.

"Officer, please explain." The last person said.
