Conan: Another Famous Detective

The coffee shop owner was stunned for a moment, then said cheerfully: "No problem, I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation!"

Officer Takagi looked at Akira Hanomiya.

Yu Gongming nodded lightly: "Hello, may I ask where you were when you saw the robber running over? What were you doing?"

"I was hanging the business sign outside the coffee shop, and then I saw the man running past." the coffee shop manager replied.

"Can you take me to that place to see it?" Yu Gongming asked.

"Of course." The coffee shop manager said, and took Yu Gongming to the door of the coffee shop.

"I was hanging the business sign here." The coffee shop manager pointed to the [Opening] sign at the door:

"Then the robber ran past me and scared me!"

"From what angle did you see the robber?" Yu Gongming asked again.

"Ah! I just suddenly saw someone approaching and turned around to look!" the coffee shop manager replied.

Yu Gongming nodded slightly. At this moment, the glasses worn by the coffee shop owner suddenly changed color.

It changed from the original transparency to light black.

Yu Gongming said "Huh?" and immediately asked: "Boss, what's wrong with your glasses?"

"Oh! These are the eyes I bought specially. As long as they are exposed to ultraviolet rays outdoors for more than 15 seconds, they will turn black and block the sunlight." The coffee shop manager explained.

Officer Takagi, who had followed him at some point, happened to hear the store manager's explanation, and his eyes widened: "So, the reason why you said the suspect was wearing black clothes was actually because you saw it through these glasses!"

"Um... I'm sorry, that's true. I was negligent. However, I'm pretty sure his height is 170 centimeters."

"Well, I understand, thank you." Yu Gongming thanked him and asked Officer Takagi to leave.

"Although the coat worn by the robber is not necessarily black, the girl saw the robber wearing green clothes from the clothing store, right?" Officer Takagi hesitated.

"Then let's go to that clothing store now." Yu Gongming said calmly.

Not long after, the two came to the clothing store.

Akira Hanamiya and Officer Takagi entered the clothing store and walked around, finally standing in front of a glass facing the street.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Officer Takagi asked with hopeful eyes.

Akira Yumiya said calmly: "There is no visual interference here, and according to the girl, the robber is 180cm tall. Whether it is true or not, it means that the man must be very conspicuous to the female students."

"Then the color of the coat she saw should be relatively accurate."

"What's the matter with the height?" Officer Takagi asked.

"Haha, come out with me and take a look." Akira Hanomiya called Officer Takagi outside the clothing store, and then pointed in a direction: "Look, is there a subway entrance there?"

"Well, that's right!" Officer Takagi nodded.

"Look, the road outside the clothing store is right between the subway entrance and the bus stop."

"A place like this often has crowds of people coming out of the subway. If you encounter a crowd and want to pass through this place, what will you do?"

"Of course through the crowd!" Officer Takagi said matter-of-factly.

"What if this speed is too slow? You must know that the robber was running away at that time!"

"If that's the case..." Officer Takagi looked around and then came to the roadside: "Then I will get out of the way and stand here on the edge...huh?"

Officer Takagi immediately stepped onto the edge that was slightly higher than the road surface, and his expression immediately changed: "So it turns out, what the female student saw was actually the figure of the robber standing on the edge, running through the crowd."

"That's why she mistakenly thought the robber was 180 centimeters tall."

"So, the robber's real height is 170 centimeters!"

"That's right." Yu Gongming smiled.

"But..." Officer Takagi hesitated again:

"Although the female student was not disturbed, the old man said that the robber was a woman wearing a blue coat. What's going on?"

"Does that old man wear glasses?" Yu Gongming asked.

"Well, he was wearing reading glasses. They were knocked off by the robber at the time. We can't rule out the possibility that he saw it wrong." Officer Takagi replied.

"Why did he think it was a woman?" Yu Gongming asked doubtfully.

"I didn't ask about this. I didn't expect the eyewitness testimonies to be so conflicting..." Officer Takagi said awkwardly.

"I remember that presbyopia does not mean color blindness. His judgment of colors shouldn't be that bad, right?"

"And, if I remember correctly, people of the older generation would refer to blue or blue-green as blue, right?"

"There is indeed such a statement!" Officer Takagi's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out his mobile phone: "I have the old man's contact information, and the old man has a mobile phone."

Officer Takagi quickly dialed the phone, and the call was connected after a busy tone.

"Hello! Hello, is it me, Mr. Yasuda? This is Officer Takagi from the Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department. He is the policeman who asked you just now. I have something to ask you about store robbers."

"Well, yes, I would like to ask, are the clothes of the robber you saw green?"

"Yes, it is indeed green, but I am more accustomed to saying blue. I think they are all the same." The old man replied.

"So, why do you think the robber is a woman?" Officer Takagi asked again.

"Because the surface of my watch faces the inside of my wrist. Only girls wear watches like this, right? We men all have the surface facing the back of our hands," the old man replied.

"That's it! Thank you, uncle!" Officer Takagi thanked him and hung up the phone with excitement on his face.

"How about it, you should know who the murderer is now, right?" Yu Gongming laughed.

"Yeah! Got it!" Officer Takagi rarely showed a confident expression:

"The only one who is 170 centimeters tall, wears green clothes, and wears his watch on the inside of his wrist is Mr. Gieda!"

"Well, then, it's time for us to wrap up this case."

"Yes!" Officer Takagi nodded heavily, and returned to the scene of the crime with Akira Hanamiya.

Officer Chiba was still looking at the three people, but their faces were obviously impatient.

As soon as Police Officer Chiba saw the two men returning, he immediately asked eagerly: "How is it going? Have you found anything?"

"Well! I already know who the robber is!" Officer Takagi laughed.

Then, he suddenly pointed at Yasuo Gieda: "You are the robber!"

Yasuo Geda naturally did not plead guilty, but when Officer Takagi explained the reasoning just now, Yasuno Geda's psychological defense suddenly collapsed and he confessed the crime.

Later, Yasuo Geda was escorted into the police car by police officer Chiba, while police officer Takagi was left behind by Akira Hanomiya.

He looked at Yumiya Ming in confusion: "Detective Yumiya, what do you want to see me for?"
