Conan: Another Famous Detective

In the evening, Shinagawa Tram Station.

Officer Shiratori looked at the man who was pinned to the ground by a group of police officers, and dialed Officer Megure’s phone number:

"Hey! Officer, we have arrested the suspected arsonist at Shinagawa Station, but he claimed that he was not an arsonist at all, but just a thief who broke into the empty door..."

Officer Shiratori was reporting to Officer Megure, while Officer Takagi was stroking his chin, frowning and thinking about something.

Raising his head slightly, he looked at the station sign in front of him, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey! That's right! So that's what happened... Now the mystery is solved!"

He was secretly happy: "Call and tell Officer Sato immediately!"

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"Officer Takagi..." Officer Shiratori suddenly came over: "Who are you... planning to call?"

Officer Takagi was startled, quickly put away his phone, and explained: "Ah! Well... I just wanted to go to the toilet..."

He identified the direction and left quickly.

Officer Shiratori looked at his leaving figure with a thoughtful look on his face.

…………

"This is it!" Ayumi pointed to the alley in front of her: "I was waiting for my mother here last night. That uncle dressed in weird clothes came out of this alley!"

"So this is it... Let's go in and have a look!" Officer Sato said, walking into the alley.

At this moment, the mobile phone in her pocket rang.

Officer Sato answered the phone: "Hello! This is Sato..."

Officer Sato listened for a while, and suddenly his face darkened: "What? Takagi, do you already know the truth about eighteen years ago?"

"That's right!" Officer Takagi vowed: "If my reasoning is not wrong, the murderer should be him, one of the few people we saw today!"

"As for who this person is, he is actually..."

Click!

Toot toot!

Officer Sato listened to the busy tone coming from the other side and was puzzled: "Strange, what is Takagi doing? Why did he suddenly hang up the phone in the middle of speaking..."

Officer Sato muttered and started to fight again.

However, just as she called up her address book, her phone rang again.

When I looked at the number, I saw it was from Officer Takagi's cell phone.

Officer Sato answered the phone: "Hey! Takagi, what happened to you just now?"

"Ha! Ha! Sorry! There were some accidents just now, let's continue talking about the murderer." Officer Takagi seemed to have just gone through strenuous exercise and replied while panting.

Just now he was about to tell the answer, but was discovered by Officer Shiratori, so he quickly moved his position.

"Say it, I'll listen." Officer Sato's expression became serious again.

The people on the side didn't realize it and came over.

"I have solved everything!" Officer Takagi's tone gradually returned to calmness:

"Not only what Chou Silang meant, but also the true meaning of [KAN O], and the method your father used to target the murderer."

"However, after all, the prosecution period has passed..."

"Nothing else matters!" Officer Sato's tone gradually became excited: "Tell me, who is the robber!?"

"Okay... that robber is... wow!" Officer Takagi suddenly screamed in the middle of his words!

Officer Sato's expression changed: "Officer Takagi? What's wrong? What happened?"

However, although the call was still connected, there was no answer on the other side.

boom!

Snap!

There was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the opposite side, and a vibration similar to an unstable signal.

When Officer Sato heard these voices, he couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Officer Takagi! Officer Takagi! Answer me quickly! Officer Takagi!"

Officer Sato kept calling, but there was no response from the other party. Later, the call was hung up directly.

Officer Sato put down his cell phone, a haze covering his face.

"What's going on?" Yu Gongming asked in a deep voice.

Officer Sato's hand holding the phone tightened and he whispered: "Officer Takagi... was probably attacked!"

…………

At Shinagawa Station, Officer Shiratori’s cell phone rang:

"Hey! I'm Shiratori...it's Officer Sato...huh? You mean Takagi? He was indeed with me four or five minutes ago..."

"Officer Shiratori, immediately tell the centralized command room of the headquarters where you last saw Officer Takagi!"

Officer Sato spoke quickly: "Officer Takagi has probably been attacked while he was on the phone with me, and the murderer is probably the arsonist!"

Officer Shiratiao's expression changed when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Okay, I understand."

Officer Sato hung up the phone with an extremely solemn expression on his face.

Mitsuhiko raised his hand: "Officer Sato, it seems that Officer Takagi was about to tell you who the robber was eighteen years ago. Could it be that robber who attacked him?"

"It's unlikely..." Officer Sato shook his head slightly: "Let's not talk about whether Officer Takagi's reasoning is correct or not. Now that the prosecution period has passed, there is no need for the prisoner to take risks and attack a police officer, right?"

Akira Hanomiya's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "Let's go over there and take a look. Officer Sato will explain the conversation between you and Officer Takagi in detail in the car later."

Officer Sato heard this and expressed his agreement: "Okay. Then I'll leave it to you, the famous detective, okay! Get in the car!"

So, the group of people who had just got off the car got into the red Mazda again.

…………

On the car.

"I see..." Akira Hanamiya finished listening to Officer Sato's account. He frowned and thought for a moment, then said:

"Based on the content of the call, we can get some clues."

"First, Officer Takagi determined that the robber was one of the four people we met in the afternoon."

"Second, Officer Takagi was attacked near Shinagawa Station, and the location must be relatively remote, otherwise the prisoner would not dare to launch an attack rashly."

"Third, if the person who attacked Officer Takagi is really the robber from eighteen years ago, then he must have a reasonable reason to launch the attack."

"First of all, the first point is, how did Officer Takagi identify those four people?"

"First of all, Officer Takagi is not familiar with these four people, and it is impossible to understand the habits of each of them. Therefore, he should make inferences based on the known commonalities of the four people."

"The only thing I can think of is that they were on the high school baseball team."

"Wait a minute, you mean..." Conan's eyes flashed: "Based on the clues known eighteen years ago, surveillance footage, raincoats and coats, Chou Silang, and the katakana in the police manual, The only thing that reminds people of baseball is the surveillance screen, right?"

"Eh? Why is it a surveillance picture?" Mitsuhiko asked confused.

Conan explained: "I heard from Uncle Maori that the scene was of the robber smashing the guard to death with the butt of his gun. The action of swinging the butt of the gun is most likely to be connected with the swing of a baseball bat."

Officer Sato pursed his lips and said, "Based on this analysis, if my father discovered from the robber's movement of waving the butt of his gun that he was a teammate of his baseball team... it does seem to make sense. What next?"
