Conan: Another Famous Detective

Officer Sato's eyes narrowed slightly, but he made no further moves. He and Officer Takagi went to the room they booked, opened the door and walked in.

After closing the door, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Coming to sit down by the bed, Officer Sato shared his findings.

"Did the transaction location change to the 10th floor?" Officer Takagi guessed.

"It doesn't look like it." Officer Sato denied: "Whether you are booking a room or taking the elevator, it is the 11th floor. There is no reason to suddenly move to the 10th floor."

"Even if we treat the 11th floor as a smoke bomb, the sound of shattering glass on the 10th floor cannot be explained."

"There were snipers lurking outside the hotel, probably for the purpose of taking advantage of others, but when people from the hotel came to check, no body was found."

"I wonder if that's what happened..." Officer Sato tried to reason: "The transaction location was indeed on the 11th floor. One of the parties originally planned to take advantage of the situation, but was discovered by the other party."

"Then the other party broke the glass on the 10th floor through some means and escaped to the 10th floor."

"This... breaking the glass from the 11th floor to the 10th floor, still under the muzzle of a sniper, is this really possible?" Officer Takagi asked with some doubts.

"In fact, it shouldn't be difficult to confirm." Officer Sato said: "If you want to break the glass, the person can only pass through the outside of the building. Maybe someone saw this scene in the process."

Having said this, Officer Sato frowned slightly: "However, I don't know where the suspicious people I found outside the hotel are from, so a rash visit may alarm them."

"But combined with the informant I found on the 10th floor, this guess should be close to ten."

"In other words, the people at the safety stairs are monitoring the guy who escaped to the 10th floor?" Officer Takagi speculated.

"Not necessarily. When the people from the hotel came up, they didn't see anyone, which means that he must have been hiding. The party who set up the ambush was not sure of his whereabouts, so they sent people to monitor him here."

"Then this will be very troublesome for us!" Officer Takagi scratched his hair: "They should still be operating secretly now, not only to not alert them, but also to continue the investigation. How can it be so simple!"

"Don't be anxious." Although Officer Sato has no clue about the upcoming investigation, he is still calm: "Let's report the situation to the superiors first. Maybe there will be some solution from the superiors."

"That's all we can do." Officer Takagi said.

Therefore, Officer Sato reported the information currently investigated to Kuroda.

"I know, since there are people hiding in the safety stairs, you should go to the safety stairs and have a look. Even if you act suspiciously, as long as you don't show your identity as a police officer, they probably won't dare to do anything." Kuroda replied.

"Yes! We'll leave immediately!" Officer Sato responded.

Later, after relaying Kuroda's order to Officer Takagi, the two briefly discussed it, then left the room and headed towards the safety stairs.

Not long after, the two came to the elevator, and Officer Sato immediately felt peeping from somewhere.

She glanced at the elevator, her eyes flashed, and she said: "It will take a while for the elevator to come up. How about we just take the stairs down? Anyway, we are just going to the business area on the sixth floor, so it will be faster!"

"Ah! If you have no objection, of course I don't care!" Officer Takagi said with an expression of obedience.

The two of them walked all the way to the safety staircase door and walked straight in.

As soon as he entered the stairwell, Officer Sato saw a man smoking a cigarette in the stairwell.

The man also looked over at this time.

Officer Sato made eye contact with the man, then quickly moved away, pulling Takagi quickly downstairs.

After a little distance, Officer Sato said with a slightly dissatisfied expression: "It's true! There are people smoking in the stairs. If I had known, I might as well have waited for the elevator!"

"Oh, maybe he is in a bad mood. Let's not worry about other people's affairs. We can just take the elevator when we come back from the sixth floor." Officer Takagi said.

Officer Sato observed the surroundings while talking: "There are people watching on the 9th, 8th, and 7th floors. Is this the hiding area where they think the target is..."

While thinking, the two came to the sixth floor.

Officer Sato looked at the scene of numerous shops in front of him, frowned slightly, and then pulled Takagi towards the inside.

After a while, Officer Sato took Takagi into a clothing store located at a three-way intersection.

"Welcome!" the clerk greeted warmly.

Officer Sato first pretended to pick out his clothes, and then asked casually: "By the way, I saw someone walking around. Do you know what's going on?"

"Ah, this..." The clerk was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "There are indeed a lot of people today, but they feel a little strange. I passed this store several times in more than ten minutes, and some people came to ask me if I had any They saw a foreigner and said he was their friend.”

"Foreigner? What kind of foreigner?" Officer Sato asked quickly.

"Well, they said it seemed like she was a young blond woman. I have indeed seen this woman. She is very beautiful and has a good figure. Logically speaking, they are all on the sixth floor, so they should have met her a long time ago... "

Sato's eyes lit up when he entered the store, and then he entered the fitting room under the pretext of trying on clothes, while Officer Takagi continued to talk to the clerk to attract attention.

In the fitting room, Sato briefly informed Kuroda of the latest situation.

"Young blond foreign woman?" Kuroda's voice sank slightly, and after two seconds of silence, he said, "Thank you for your hard work. You go back to your room first and wait for new instructions."

"Understood!" Officer Sato responded.

Afterwards, she came out of the fitting room, left the clothing store with Officer Takagi, took the elevator back to the 10th floor, and entered the room.

…………

"You should be aware of the situation, right?" Kuroda held the phone and said calmly.

"Well, it's clear." Toru Amuro said with a playful voice: "If our guess is correct, then this is really a good show!"

"Where are you now?" Kuroda asked.

"Already downstairs in the hotel, it took some time to change clothes." Toru Amuro replied, paused, and then said: "And I also saw some familiar faces, so I can be sure that this matter is related to them."

"Very good, then I hope you can figure out the whole story, especially the information about the [blond woman], the more detailed the better!"

"Copy that." Toru Amuro responded.

After ending the communication, Toru Amuro walked into the hotel.

…………

"It seems that another special guest has arrived at the Abeido Hotel..." Subaru Okiya's smiling voice sounded from Akira Hanamiya's headset.

"Special guests?" Yu Gongming and Meng Yu quickly turned their telescopes to the door of the hotel.

"That person... seems to be Mr. Amuro?" Meng Yu frowned slightly, feeling a little unsure.

"Since it's Mr. Subaru's judgment, it's probably not wrong." Akira Yumiya replied, and then laughed: "It's really getting more and more lively now!"
