Conan: Another Famous Detective

The old principal shook his head slightly: "Those robbers have not been caught so far, but God will eventually bring retribution to them. Maybe they have died in some unknown corner."

At the end of the sentence, the old principal's tone became a little harsh.

He doesn’t want to leave the impression on his children that bad things will go unpunished.

Conan was not aware of the old principal's thoughts, but was lost in his own thoughts.

At this time, Yu Gongming looked at Officer Shiratori: "Excuse me, apart from the bag of lime, are there any other places containing lime in the basement of the warehouse?"

"Uh! There is a marking machine in the basement. Maybe there is some lime in it?" Officer Shiratori replied.

When Conan heard this, a flash of light flashed in his mind: "Lending machine...lime...could it be said!?"

He looked at Officer Shiratiao: "Officer Shiratiao, can you ask the forensic personnel to open the marking machine and check it?"

Officer Shiratori was stunned: "Huh? What's wrong, Conan?"

Conan said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, the lime held by the deceased was probably taken out from the marking machine. The purpose was to make space and put certain things into the marking machine. In the lime!”

"Something? What is it?" Officer Shiratori asked.

"Maybe it's related to the robbery case ten years ago. Please ask the forensic personnel to work harder!" Yu Gongming also spoke.

Seeing what Yu Gongming said, Officer Shiratori nodded slightly: "Okay, it's not a troublesome thing anyway."

Then he asked the forensics team to go back to the basement and bring up the marking machine.

After a while, the marking machine was opened, and the interior filled with lime was revealed to everyone.

The forensic personnel took out the lime inside bit by bit.

About a minute later.

"Police officer! A gray woven bag was found in the lime!" the forensic personnel reported.

"Oh?" Officer Shiratiao looked surprised and quickly stepped forward to check.

A woven bag stained with lime was placed on the ground by forensic investigators.

Officer Shiratori didn't need to say anything, and the forensics staff took the initiative to open the woven bag.

The next moment the scene inside the woven bag was revealed, the three little ones let out a cry of surprise at the same time.

"That's a lot of money!" Genta shouted.

"And they're all in 10,000-yuan bills!" Mitsuhiko's eyes widened.

Yes, the woven bag is filled with tens of thousands of yuan bills bundled into piles!

Officer Shiratori's expression also changed. He immediately knelt down, picked up a bundle of banknotes and observed them carefully.

After a while, he put down the banknotes and said solemnly: "These are real banknotes. Such a bag of banknotes is probably worth hundreds of millions of yuan!"

"Hundreds of billions!" The three little ones exclaimed again.

"How much eel rice can I buy?" Genta murmured.

"Genta, you are so worthless! With so much money, of course you should buy a cool sports car and a limited edition Masked Superman figure!" Mitsuhiko retorted.

Seeing so much money in front of you is still very impactful. Even Conan has seen the world, so he couldn't help but be surprised for a moment at first glance.

But he quickly came to his senses, especially after hearing Officer Shiratori confirm that it was a genuine note, he thought of more.

"I remember the principal said just now that the four robbers robbed gold worth 200 million yuan from the property owner, right?" Yu Gongming said with a hint.

Officer Shiratiao was also moved when he heard this: "Could it be that this money is the stolen money that the robbers exchanged for gold?"

When Teacher Xiao Lin heard this, his expression changed: "Then the person who died ten years ago could be..."

"I'm afraid he's a member of that bandit group, maybe even the boss!" Conan said lightly.

Yu Gongming nodded lightly: "That should be right. I'm afraid those robbers sneaked into the Didan Elementary School campus that day. They temporarily hid the stolen gold in the warehouse and agreed to exchange the gold nuggets for cash before returning here. The warehouse divides the spoils.”

"It turned out that the boss had already cashed in the gold nuggets, but he slipped and fell into the basement and died. Later, when the police searched, they did not notice the existence of the basement. His body and the cash were forgotten in the cold basement."

"It makes sense!" Officer Shiratori agreed: "So, the other three robbers probably didn't know that their accomplice was dead, but thought he was absconding with the money."

"Speaking of which, officer, do you still remember the strap clutched in the skeleton's hand that I gave you just now?" Akira Hanomiya asked.

"Of course! What's wrong with that belt?" Officer Shiratori was puzzled.

"Conan just told me that he once heard Xiaolan talk about this belt." Yu Gongming replied.

"Oh?" Officer Shiratori looked at Conan.

Conan was startled for a moment, but then he understood what Yu Gongming meant, and said, "Yes! When I was talking to Sister Xiaolan about the school's old warehouse, she told me something that happened ten years ago."

Then, from a third-person perspective, he narrated his and Xiaolan’s experiences ten years ago.

After listening to Conan's narration, Officer Shiratori asked: "Are you sure that what Xiaolan and Kudo-san saw at that time was that kind of tape?"

"I don't know, but I can send a photo of this tape and ask them!" Conan said.

"Okay! I'll leave it to you then!" Officer Shiratori nodded. He instinctively felt that this tape would be a very key clue.

So, Conan ran to the side and actually called Xiaolan.

At this time, the afternoon class had not yet started, and Xiaolan quickly answered the phone.

Conan briefly talked about the matter with Xiaolan and sent the photos he took to Xiaolan through chat software.

After a moment, Conan returned to everyone and said with a smile: "I have confirmed with Sister Xiaolan and Brother Shinichi that the belt they saw back then is exactly the same as the belt in the skeleton's hand!"

Officer Shiratiao looked thoughtful: "In other words, the person who stopped Xiaolan and the others from taking off their belts was probably the deceased!"

"It is worth noting that that person did not prevent them from entering the warehouse, but prevented them from taking off the belt, which means that the content on this belt is very important to him, and it is probably the password for their connection." Hanemiya Ming said lightly. .

"Indeed!" Officer Shiratori nodded, his eyes brightening: "If we can unlock the code on the belt, maybe we can catch the other three robbers on the run?"

"I should be able to help with the matter of cracking the code." Yu Gongming said with a smile.

"Of course there is no need to doubt Detective Hatomiya's ability." Officer Shiratori said: "However, such a major discovery was made in the case ten years ago. I need to bring these evidences back to the bureau to report. If Detective Hatomiya solves the problem, If you get the password, please contact me immediately!"

"This is natural!" Yu Gongming readily agreed.

Not long after, Officer Shiratori left with the evidence.

Akira Hanomiya looked at the group of young detective team: "Well, everyone from the young detective team, let's solve this code together!"

"Okay!" The three little ones suddenly became excited when they heard that they could solve the code together.
