Conan: Another Famous Detective

A taxi stopped in front of a station on the Toto Loop Line.

The door opened, and Conan and Xiao Ai stepped out of the taxi one after another.

"Hanomiya is waiting for us nearby, let's go." Conan glanced at the image on the tracking glasses and walked in a certain direction.

"Hanomiya patted his back and put the transmitter on his back. You pulled the corner of Hanomiya's clothes and handed the transmitter to him. Your method of installing the transmitter was pretty good. You're quite skilled." Xiao Ai chuckled.

"What is this? We have used more complicated methods. Otherwise, how do you think we found the bases of so many organizations?" Conan said with pride in his tone.

"But what's wrong with the person who was installed with the transmitter? He just bought a pack of cigarettes, right?" Xiao Ai asked doubtfully.

"If you just buy cigarettes, wouldn't it be more convenient to go to a vending machine? Why do you have to queue up? And it's a bit strange to spend a thousand yuan just to buy a pack of cigarettes." Conan said lightly.

"Oh?" Xiao Ai's expression moved slightly: "Are you saying there is a reason why he has to go to the checkout counter to buy cigarettes?"

"Yes, for example...his thousand-yuan note cannot be recognized by the machine, but it may be deceived by human eyes." Conan smiled.

"Counterfeit money?" Xiao Ai confirmed.

"Yes, Yumiya was closest to the man at that time, and he should have recognized that it was a counterfeit banknote, otherwise he would not have installed the transmitter." Conan replied.

"Wait..." Xiao Ai suddenly frowned: "If I remember correctly, the portrait on the one thousand yuan bill seems to be..."

"Yes, it's Natsume Soseki." Conan smiled.

"So, did you realize at that time that that man was related to Brother Junye's disappearance?" Xiao Ai looked at Conan.

"Absolutely. However, in order to get rid of Mitsuhiko and the others, we kept silent. Although the possibility is unlikely, we still cannot rule out the possibility that this matter is related to the organization. It is better not to involve them." Conan said.

"Hi! You're here!" A voice interrupted their conversation.

The two of them turned around and saw Yu Gongming walking towards them.

"How was it? Did you gain anything?" Conan asked.

"I followed the man to the Circle Line station. He has now gone to Otoma Station. I have called Mengyu and shared the man's location on her mobile phone. She has now rushed over there to continue. Follow me, I'll be waiting for you here." Yu Gongming said.

"Wait a minute, I remember Mengyu had karate training today?" Conan asked doubtfully.

"She did say that, but after hearing that I asked her to help track the prisoner, she said that she [was not feeling well] and asked Xiaolan to take a leave of absence for her." Yu Gongming said with a smile.

"...Okay." Conan was speechless.

"Let's go, it's time for us to set off." Yu Gongming said and took the lead in walking towards the station. Conan and Xiao Ai soon followed Yu Gongming's footsteps.

Entering the station, after passing a corner, Hanemiya Akira paused, then continued forward as if nothing had happened.

Conan and Xiao Ai both noticed this detail, turned their heads slightly, and looked at Yu Gongming in confusion.

"Don't look back, we are being followed." Yu Gongming said calmly.

"Huh?" Conan was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression became serious.

Xiao Ai showed a smile and did not express any opinion.

"Have you identified the stalker?" Conan asked.

"Not yet, I'm confirming it." Yu Gongming said.

"Okay, if you need my cooperation," Conan nodded and said no more.

Then, the three of them bought their tickets like ordinary passengers and came to the waiting platform to get on the bus.

"Okay, I know who is following us." Yu Gongming's tone became more relaxed.

"I know too... Sigh!" Conan's expression was quite helpless and he sighed heavily.

"The famous detective was followed all the way by three children, and he didn't notice it at all. It's really surprising!" Xiao Ai said sarcastically with a smile.

"Hey! Can you blame me for this? I have been focusing on locating Yumiya's position. Where can I have so much time to pay attention to other things? It's you Huiyuan, you have been so leisurely all the way, why didn't you notice them?" Conan retorted.

"I have long noticed that there was another car following our taxi. After we got off the bus, I already knew that they were following us." Xiao Ai said calmly.

"You found out a long time ago, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Conan said angrily.

"I just wanted to see when you would find out that you were being followed by them, but I didn't expect that the first one to be discovered was Yumiya. Your anti-tracking awareness is too poor." Xiao Ai glanced sideways at Conan and chuckled. mocked.

"You..." Conan looked at Xiao Ai with his eyebrows twitching, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute.

"Pay attention next time, those three children don't seem to be as easy to fool as you think." Yu Gongming said.

"Well...these guys are really nerve-wracking!" Conan sighed.

"But why do they just follow us instead of coming out directly to join us?" Xiao Ai noticed another problem.

"Who knows what they think? But with them hanging so far behind, it's easy to get rid of them." Conan said nonchalantly.

"No, not only can we not get rid of them, but we should keep them following." Yu Gongming suddenly showed a malicious smile. ""

"Huh? What do you want to do?" Conan's body trembled inexplicably when he saw Yu Gongming's smile.

"Hmph! Under your leadership, these three brats have become a little ignorant. It's time for them to accept a beating from society." Yu Gongming sneered.

"Hey! Don't mess around, they are still children!" Conan said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm measured. It's better to be taught a lesson by us than to lose your life due to impulsiveness and recklessness in the future." Yu Gongming said calmly.

"What do you want to do?" Conan frowned.

"Well... it depends on the specific situation, but the general plan has already been formed." As the three of them got on the circular line train, Akira Hanomiya explained his [social beating] plan.

…………

The car next to the car where Akira Hanomiya and others were.

Three sneaky figures were standing at the end of the carriage aisle.

"Hey, Mitsuhiko, since we have found Conan and Brother Hanomiya, why don't we go out and join them?" Ayumi asked doubtfully.

"If we go out, all the limelight will be taken away by Brother Hanomiya and Conan. What will we do?" Mitsuhiko said with a look of displeasure.

"That's right, our young detective team can't let others steal the limelight!" Yuantai loudly agreed.

"But... isn't it good for us to act without permission? After all, we are just children." Ayumi said with a worried look.

"Aren't Conan and Haibara-san also children? Why can't we investigate alone if they can?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"That is to say, Conan is still my subordinate!" Yuantai said.

"Ayumi, don't worry!" Mitsuhiko comforted:

"We are just secretly following Hanamiya-nii and the others. According to Shunya, there are probably at least three kidnappers, and they might even have guns. Hanamiya-nii may not be able to handle it with Conan and Haibara-san."

"If they are in danger or have a stalemate with the kidnappers, and we rush out and help Brother Yumiya subdue the kidnappers, then we will have made a great contribution!"

"Yes, that's right, I will let that kidnapper taste my power!" Yuantai became excited instantly.

"Okay... okay." Ayumi saw that both of them were so excited, and she also yearned for the so-called [great achievement], so she said nothing more.

However, they will not know that what awaits them next is by no means a great achievement, but...
