Conan: Another Famous Detective

Everyone followed the sound and saw Officer Sato and a group of familiar little ones coming over.

"Officer Sato? And you kids? Why are you here?" Akira Hanomiya asked in confusion.

Officer Sato explained with a smile: "Ah! That's it. I happened to meet these children when I was on vacation today. In order to thank them for their continued help, I treated them to something to eat."

"What about you? Why are you here? Wait, people from the explosive ordnance disposal team are here too? What happened?" Officer Sato gradually put away the smile on his face.

Officer Shiratori and Officer Takagi looked at each other, and it was Officer Shiratori who spoke: "We received a call today and a bomb was found in the restaurant next door..."

He recounted the story in outline.

Officer Sato's expression became more and more serious as Officer Shiratori narrated, and in the end he even clenched his fists tightly.

"Officer Sato?" Officer Takagi looked at Officer Sato with some concern.

Officer Sato came to his senses and said in a serious voice: "Can you show me that note?"

"Of course, here it is." Officer Shiratori handed over the note.

Officer Sato took the note and read it carefully.

After a while.

"It's unmistakable..." Officer Sato's eyes seemed to be filled with blazing flames: "This description is so similar to the codeword from three years ago!"

"Since even Officer Sato said so, it seems that it can't be wrong." Akira Hanomiya said calmly.

"Hey! Brother Hanomiya! You have been chasing the prisoner for so long. You should have seen the prisoner's face, right?" Conan ran over at some point and asked.

"He was wearing a hat and a mask. I couldn't see his face at all." Yu Gongming shook his head.

"Is that so..." Conan lowered his head in disappointment.

"The top priority is to inform the Metropolitan Police first. The gangster has appeared again. We must not let him succeed this time!" After Officer Sato finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the three little ones:

"Sorry, sister has to work now, you guys should go home first!"

"Then let me help send these children home. You are busy." Yu Gongming took the initiative to take on this task.

"Ah! Why is this like this! Even though we have a case, you just push me back like this!" Mitsuhiko said with some dissatisfaction.

"No, you, not even me, should follow up on a case like this in real time. After all, a bomber is involved. If you are not careful, you might be blown into pieces."

"One piece... one piece!?" The three little ones immediately showed a look of fear.

"So, what we can do is to find a way to decipher this code to help the police determine the location of the bomb." Yu Gongming said and looked at several police officers:

"Can you help me make a few copies of the contents on the note?"

"No problem, there is a copy shop nearby." Officer Takagi nodded slightly.

After a while, both the Young Detective Team and Akira Hanomiya had a note with the same content in their hands.

"Okay, let's go back!" Yu Gongming said with a smile.

"Okay~"

After the three little ones got the note, they didn't raise any objections.

…………

Mika Town, at the intersection of 2-chome and 3-chome.

"Huh~ Finally sent those children home." Conan exhaled softly.

Xiao Ai chuckled softly: "You are so calm. You have obviously seen something, but you have been holding back and not saying anything, and you still followed those children and made random guesses."

Conan rolled his eyes: "Nonsense! This guy Hanomiya has already hinted so clearly, how could I still bring those guys with me!"

While the two were talking, a red Mazda slowly stopped in front of several people.

The car window rolled down, revealing Officer Sato's face: "Detective Hanomiya, get in the car!"

"Well, please excuse me, Officer Sato." Akira Hanomiya nodded slightly, and then took the lead in getting into the passenger seat.

Conan and Xiao Ai sat in the back row very consciously.

"Huh? Why are you following me?" Conan looked at Xiao Ai in surprise.

"What, do you think I will drag you back?" Xiao Ai smiled and asked.

"That's not the case, I'm just a little surprised that you would be interested in such a thing."

"That only shows that your understanding of me is too narrow." Xiao Ai said lightly.

"Uh...hehe..." Seeing that Xiao Ai was in venomous mode again, Conan had no choice but to end the topic with a dry laugh.

"Eh? Are the two of them going together?" Susumu Sato looked at the two people in the back row doubtfully.

"Yes, these two are my right-hand assistants. Officer, you should know that, right? They are different from those three children!"

Officer Sato was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Yes, these two captains and deputy captains of the Junior Detective Team surprised me a lot!"

While sighing, Officer Sato had already restarted the car, and the red Mazda lights were fading away in the night.

…………

"What? Including the Metropolitan Police Department, all the police stations received the fax with the code?" Officer Sato asked in surprise.

"Yes, everyone is talking now that the gangster from seven years ago and three years ago has appeared again." Officer Megure's voice came from the phone.

Officer Sato held the phone tightly and said in a deep voice, "I understand. I am on patrol now. I will contact you immediately if I find anything."

"Okay! You have to be careful!" Officer Megure said and then hung up the phone. Obviously, the Metropolitan Police Department should also be busy now.

Officer Sato put his phone away and said, "Detective Hanomiya, do you have any ideas about that code?"

Akira Hanomiya replied: "There are some speculations, but before that, I would like to ask, why is the bomber so targeting the police?"

Officer Sato was stunned for a moment, and then said with a slightly complicated expression: "Actually, in the case seven years ago, there were originally two gangsters."

"At that time, they planted bombs in two apartment buildings and demanded a billion dollar ransom from the police. If any resident left the apartment, they would immediately detonate the bomb."

"The first bomb was easy to deal with, but the second one was more troublesome. With no other solution, the police had no choice but to agree to the gangster's request."

"Later, the gangster kept his agreement and suspended the timer for the second bomb."

"Originally we thought the matter was over like this, but who knew that thirty minutes later, the gangster suddenly called and asked angrily why the timer was still moving?"

"I think he must have seen the rebroadcast of the incident and misunderstood it, right? The police also thought this was a good opportunity to arrest him, so they used delaying tactics and successfully locked his location."

"However, when he was arrested, the gangster was hit and killed by a truck while crossing the road in order to escape. The other gangster also ran away."

"I think the escaped gangster thought that our police deliberately broadcast false information and caused the tragic death of his companions, so he continued to retaliate against the police, right?"
