Conan: Another Famous Detective

Four p.m.

A man wearing work clothes and carrying a backpack walked into the door of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"Sir, what do you want?" The receptionist at the front desk looked the man up and down and asked.

The man had a thin build and a rough face, and looked very similar to the plumber's uniform he was wearing.

He took a wallet out of his pocket and explained, "Hello officer, I picked up a wallet nearby."

The receptionist took the wallet and opened it to look at it.

The wallet contained a driver's license, credit cards, keys, and some cash.

The reception police officer compared it and found that the driver's license was indeed not the man in front of him, and nodded slightly:

"Okay sir, thank you for giving us the wallet. We will keep it safe and find the owner as soon as possible. By the way, do you need to leave your name? This will make it easier for the owner to contact you when he finds it."

"No need, I don't want anything in return." The man shook his head.

"Okay, if nothing happens, you can leave." The police officer smiled.

This kind of business of handing in lost items happens several times a day, sometimes even more than a dozen times, so the procedure is quite simple, and the receptionist at the front desk can handle it alone without reporting it.

Unless the person turning in the money is indeed found to be obviously suspicious, the receptionist will not ask the person who found the money to leave his name, nor will he make too many inquiries.

"Well, that's troublesome." The man nodded sincerely, and then asked a little embarrassedly:

"By the way, where is the toilet? I'm going to use the toilet."

"Over there." The reception police officer pointed in the direction of the toilet and then continued to do his own thing.

The man thanked him and walked towards the toilet.

After arriving at the toilet, the man breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, the front desk is much easier to fool than those guys who are out on duty!"

The man muttered in his heart and looked around for a while. When he saw no one was around, he hid a few things in the corner under the sink.

Under the cover of the pipes, those few things became no longer eye-catching.

After doing all this, the man left the toilet as if nothing had happened, and said hello to the receptionist when passing by the front desk.

The reception police officer responded casually and watched him leave the lobby on the first floor.

After the man left the lobby, he came to the parking lot and finally stood next to a gray car.

He opened the trunk of the car, took out a paper bag containing clothes from a clothing store, and threw the backpack on his back into the trunk.

Then he got into the gray car, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Hey! Are you done?" the man asked.

"Well, no problem. I have manipulated the parking lot surveillance system. The images are played in a loop, but they can only last for five minutes at most." The person on the other end of the phone said.

"Okay, that's enough." The man nodded slightly, hung up the phone, and then took out a set of clothes from the clothing paper bag.

It was a police inspector's uniform!

"I didn't expect that the uniform I took away after completing the mission last time could actually come in handy." The man sighed in his heart and took off his work clothes neatly.

In less than two minutes, an [Inspector Chief] wearing a police uniform and police hat appeared in the gray car.

The [Inspector Chief] used his hand to tear off his face, and the human skin mask was taken off, revealing a young and delicate face.

Then, he got out of the gray car and walked towards the Metropolitan Police Headquarters building again.

Not long after, he came to the lobby and called to the reception police officer: "Saito, you are on duty today!"

The reception police officer was stunned and looked up at the inspector general. After recalling it for a while, he found that he had no impression and said with some embarrassment: "Uh, yes."

"Then get busy. I have something else to do. I'll leave now. See you later!" [Inspector Chief] smiled and walked straight towards the elevator.

"See you later!" the police officer named Saito replied.

He recalled carefully for a while, but still didn't remember that he knew the inspector general, and he felt ashamed:

"It should be a colleague I've met before. They can remember me, but I don't remember them. It's really rude."

This is how people are, if you meet someone who calls you by name and seems to know you, but you have no impression of him, you will subconsciously think that he does know you, but you just forgot about him.

Afterwards, you will have a slightly awkward chat with him, and then hope that he will leave quickly, lest he realize that you don't remember him.

The name of the receptionist police officer was marked on the sign at the front desk.

[Inspector] After walking through the hall, he turned towards the toilet again.

At this time, the toilet door was closed, and a sign saying "Cleaning" was hung above it.

"Hey! It seems that the cleaning time of the Metropolitan Police Department has not changed. Everything is going well!" The man smiled secretly in his heart. After seeing no one around, he opened the door and walked into the toilet. He closed the door again without leaving any trace. Locked.

At this time, a man in a cleaner's uniform was cleaning the toilet.

After seeing the [Inspector Chief], the man was stunned, and then said: "Officer, this place is being cleaned. You can go to other floors."

[Inspector Chief] smiled and said: "That's right, I came to the toilet just now, and now I find that my key is missing. Did you see it when you were cleaning just now?"

The cleaner recalled it for a moment and shook his head: "It doesn't seem like that. Which cubicle did you go to the toilet in just now?"

The [Inspector Chief] came to the innermost compartment and pointed inside: "This is it."

The cleaner came to the cubicle and took a look: "It doesn't seem to be there?"

"Will you go in and take a closer look?" [Inspector Chief] asked, and at the same time he came to the window and closed the opaque glass window.

When the cleaner heard this, he didn't think much and walked into the cubicle to check.

The next moment, the [Inspector Chief] also squeezed into the cubicle, and the door of the cubicle closed with a bang.

…………

A few minutes later, a [cleaner] wearing a mask came out of the cubicle.

If you look into the cubicle, you can vaguely see a person lying in the corner of the cubicle.

[Cleaner] moved his arms and nodded slightly.

Although he wears a cleaner's uniform on top of the police uniform, which makes his movements slightly inconvenient, it is still within the acceptable range.

The [Cleaner] came to the sink and took something he had prepared in advance from the corner below.

That's a rope.

There is also an iron hook fixed at one end of the rope.

The man took the rope to the compartment where he was just now, hooked the hook on the latch of the compartment, and then passed the rope through the gap in the compartment door to the outside.

Then he came outside the compartment, closed the door, and then skillfully operated the rope.

With a "click" sound, [Cleaner] pushed the door.

The door didn't move.

[Cleaner] nodded with satisfaction, retracted the hook, then came to the sink and took out the few things that had been hidden in advance.

Then he found the box where the cleaner held the cleaning utensils. He first took out the cleaning utensils inside, then put those items into the bottom of the box, and then put the cleaning utensils back.

After doing all this, he picked up the tool box, opened the toilet door, and walked out slowly.
