Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Five minutes later, nearby patrol officers arrived on the scene.

Soon, the police from the Violent Search Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division also arrived at the scene. The leader was Chi Feichi and Conan's old acquaintance, Takagi Wataru.

Takagi Wataru asked his colleagues to take over the custody of the robber and searched the robber's belongings.

When Conan saw Takagi Wataru found the driver's license from the robber, he hurriedly asked, "Officer Takagi, what's his name?"

"Name?" Takagi Wataru looked down at the driver's license, "His name is Kiyose Takashi. Is he... only twenty years old this year?"

On the side, Kiyose Takashi had his hood taken off. Facing Takagi Wataru's surprised gaze, he looked down at the floor in embarrassment.

"Mr. Kiyose, are you Mr. Hikone's neighbor?" Conan asked Kiyose Takashi, "When we went to Mr. Hikone's house before, you secretly watched us through the cracks in the wall..."

Kiyose Takashi looked at Conan in surprise, "How did you know?"

"Tell us quickly, where did you take Hikone-sama?" Funako Nakai rushed to Kiyose Takashi and said anxiously, "Please let him go!"

"Hikone?" Kiyose Takashi was even more surprised, "I don't know where he went..."

"Officer Takagi, we have checked it," the police officer responsible for checking the pistol said, "This gun is just a simulated gun, and the bullets used in it are BB bullets!"

"I understand, you should put the gun away as evidence first," Takagi Wataru finished responding to his colleagues and cast doubtful glances at Chi Feichi, Conan, and Nakai Funako, "What happened to Mr. Hikone you just mentioned... ah?"

Conan showed Takagi Wataru the notebook with "Crime Plan" written on the cover, and told him his reasoning.

While Kazuma Hikone was writing the novel, he investigated the purchasing situation, terrain, and security conditions of the Ishigami Jewelry Store. In order to prevent someone from using the information he investigated to commit crimes, he recorded the name of the jewelry store in reverse.

As Hikone Kazuma's neighbor, Kiyose Takashi usually peeked at Hikone Kazuma writing novels through the cracks in the wall. After discovering that Hikone Kazuma investigated the Ishikami Jewelry Store and created a criminal plan for the novel, Kiyose Takashi felt that That criminal plan was feasible, and he decided to rob the Shishen Jewelry Store according to the plan in the "Crime Plan".

Today is the restocking day for Ishigami Jewelry Store as Hikone Kazuma investigated. The notebook also mentioned that the jewelry will be delivered to the store around 12 noon. Therefore, even though Kiyose Takashi discovered that three strange people came to Hikone’s house today, People were investigating, but they still didn't want to miss this opportunity. After the three of them left Hikone's house, they also left home immediately. Following the method in the novel, they sneaked into the boiler room behind the jewelry store through the sewer entrance, and then walked to the front store to rob the jewelry. …

After Conan finished explaining his reasoning, he told Takagi Wataru about Hikone Kazuma's disappearance for two days.

Takagi Wataru asked Kiyose Takashi again. After Kiyose Takashi confirmed that he had not kidnapped Hikone Kazuma, he asked his colleagues to take Kiyose Takashi back to the Metropolitan Police Department first, leaving the two of them to record statements in the jewelry store. He and Chi Feichi , Conan, and Funako Nakai arrived at the apartment where Hikone Kazuma lives, ready to help investigate the whereabouts of Hikone Kazuma.

The four of them arrived on the second floor of the apartment and were about to enter Hikone's house when a middle-aged man walked up the stairs behind them.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he saw the four people standing at the door of Hikone's house, then quickly turned around and wanted to go downstairs.

Conan had already noticed the middle-aged man going upstairs. When he saw the middle-aged man turning around to leave, he called out to the man, "Uncle, are you someone who lives here? I saw you take out the key from your pocket just now, but You seem to be leaving again soon, is it because we disturbed your return home? "

"Ah..." The middle-aged man stopped and turned around to see Takagi Wataru, Chi Feichi, and Nakai Funako all looking at him. He raised his right hand and scratched his head, "I do live here, but I suddenly remembered I forgot to buy something, so I have to go to the convenience store..."

"Uncle's surname is Rita, right?" Conan pointed to the room on the left of Hikone's house. Although he was not 100% sure, he was still very sure, "That's the person who lives in this room!"

"Yes, yes." Seeing Conan's affirmative tone, the middle-aged man didn't have the confidence to deny it.

"Did you suspect that he stole the laptop before?" Funako Nakai looked at the middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man heard Funako Nakai talking about the laptop, a trace of panic flashed across his face.

Takagi Wataru noticed the change in the middle-aged man's expression, took out his police ID card from his pocket, took two steps forward, and showed the ID card to the middle-aged man, "Hello, I am Takagi from the Metropolitan Police Department. Could you please answer our questions?" A question?"

The middle-aged man looked even more panicked, "I, I didn't do anything! You said I took Hikone's laptop, so you have to provide evidence!"

Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't bother himself, Chi Fei reminded him, "It seems that we have never talked about Hikone's computer."

The middle-aged man sweated and argued hard, "I, I just saw you guys standing outside Hikone's house, so I guessed that Hikone's computer was lost... If you suspect that I stole his computer, then... Go and look for it at my house! I don’t have anything like that at home!”

"You just came back from outside. Shouldn't we suspect that you have disposed of your laptop?" Funako Nakai looked at the middle-aged man and said seriously, "I remember there is a pawn shop nearby. Could you be? Did you send the laptop to be pawned there? In this case, you should have the receipt and money for the pawned computer!”

Conan nodded.

Although Miss Fonacchi has a tendency to have paranoia and is easily over-immersed in fantasies, she is still very smart...

"Mr. Lida," Takagi Wataru reminded with a serious look, "Have you ever been to that pawn shop and what items you pawned? The police will know it all as long as they investigate!"

The middle-aged man stopped making excuses and lowered his head guiltily, "I've been a little tight recently, and I just happened to find that the neighbor next door had put the computer on the table but was nowhere to be found, so I broke into the house through the empty door and took the computer away. Yes, but I only took away the computer..."

While several people were talking, a young man walked along the outdoor stairs to the second floor. When he saw a group of people standing at the top of the stairs, he slowed down in confusion.

When Funako Nakai saw the young man, she blushed and hid behind Chi Feichi, "No, it can't be..."

Conan saw Funako Nakai's reaction, and then saw the young man who looked exactly like the 'King of Mirage' shown by Funako Nakai. He knew the identity of the young man, looked at the young man and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Hikone?" ?”

"Yeah," the young man stopped and looked hesitant, "How many of them are there?"

"Hello, Mr. Hikone, I am Takagi from the Metropolitan Police Department," Takagi Wataru showed his ID to Hikone Kazuma and explained, "Because someone said you were missing, I came here to take a look..."

"Missing?" Hikone Kazuma was a little confused, "But I just felt that I really had no writing talent and was depressed, so I went out to relax. I didn't come back until all the money I had was spent..."

Saying that, Kazuma Hikone looked at the middle-aged man again, "Did my neighbor call the police? I remember he seems to live next door to me... Mr. Rida, right?"

"No, he didn't call the police," Takagi Wataru saw Funako Nakai hiding behind Chi Feichi, blushing and waving her hands to him, and smiled, but did not tell Funako Nakai, and said to Kazuma Hikone, "Actually, During your absence, Mr. Litian stole your laptop at home..."

"Ah?" Hikone Kazuma looked at the middle-aged man in astonishment.

He went out for two or three days, and his neighbor stole the few valuable items from his home?

What kind of neighbor is this?

"I will take Mr. Litian back to understand the situation in a moment. You guys, we will try our best to help you get your computer back." Takagi Wataru said.

"Thank you, I'll spare your trouble!" Kazuma Hikone said hurriedly.

"You're welcome, this is our duty," Takagi Wataru added, "In addition, your other neighbor, Mr. Kiyose, took advantage of the time you were away to use the techniques in your novel to rob He went to the Shishen Jewelry Store and he has been arrested. Because this matter has something to do with you, we may need to find out about the situation from you another day. "

"Huh? Okay... no problem!"

Hikone Kazuma agreed, still a little confused in his mind.

He went out for two or three days, and all his neighbors were arrested for committing crimes? And it’s all related to him?

What kind of neighbors are these?
