"Yes, yes!"
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement. Natsume-nii had just said that they should at least be good children today!
"you!"
Conan sensed the betrayal, but he was powerless to resist the strength contained within Genta's sturdy body and could only compromise.
"Let me go, I'm not going any further!"
"That's pretty much it!"
........
Less than two minutes.
Xia Ye's voice came from inside the abandoned building.
"Come all over!"
"hurry up!"
The Junior Detectives quickened their pace and soon arrived at Xia Ye's location.
"Aren't these the uncles who sat at the next table in the family restaurant?" Ayumi looked curiously at the three men in black who had collapsed on the ground. Two of them were blond and blue-eyed, foreigners, and one was wearing small sunglasses, so he should be Japanese. However, none of the three looked like good people.
"It can't just be at family restaurants, right?" Conan looked at Natsume and frowned. "I've always had this feeling of being watched. Where's Natsume-nii?"
"Conan has a really sharp sense of things~"
Xia Ye patted his big head and laughed:
"Ever since I got this coded note, these guys have been following us. But their tracking skills are terrible; they can't even do anything to cover themselves up. I noticed them right away!"
"Amazing!"
The children looked on with admiration, and even Conan was somewhat impressed. He had only vaguely sensed that someone was spying on him, but Xia Ye seemed to know everything, which was outrageous!
"but--"
Xia Ye looked at the several people still unconscious on the ground, her expression turning serious:
"I've already called the police. Today's treasure hunt is over. As for the treasure, let's wait for the Metropolitan Police Department to arrive and handle it!"
"Metropolitan Police Department..."
Conan looked thoughtful...
Combine the clues you get in your mind.
Italian for gold.
correct!
"It's the 15,000 maple leaf gold coins that the Italian robbers stole from the bank, as reported in the news last night!"
“That’s right, the news said that the robbers had a falling out, and the leader fled to Japan with the gold coins.” Xia Ye added, “As for these people, they should be the robbers who were betrayed by the leader.”
"So pitiful~"
Ayumi's compassion overflowed.
These people were betrayed by their boss first, and then knocked unconscious by Xia Ye. It's just too tragic!
........
Inspector Megure arrived quickly, accompanied by the dashing and beautiful Miwako Sato.
After understanding the situation, Inspector Megure directed his subordinates to begin searching for the missing gold coins, however—
The officers searched almost the entire abandoned building, but still couldn't find a single gold coin. Moreover, judging from the dust on the ground, no one had entered the abandoned building for at least a week; there wasn't even a footprint!
"what happened?"
Inspector Megure looked at Natsume and asked:
"Mr. Akiyama, are you sure this is where the robbers left the 15,000 maple leaf gold coins?"
"Of course I'm not sure~"
Xia Ye took out the coded paper and smiled calmly, saying, "I can only confirm that the location indicated on this 'treasure map' is this place. As for whether the gold coins are there, we will have to wait for your Metropolitan Police Department to verify before we can reach a conclusion."
"A smoke bomb?"
Inspector Megure frowned as he took the coded paper, concluding that this was a fake address the leader wanted to hide the real location of the gold coins!
He had no doubt about Xia Ye at all.
Even Conan didn't suspect Natsume.
Xia Ye deciphered the secret of the symbols the moment he got the coded paper. If he wanted to keep it a secret, he could have just kept it from himself and Ayumi.
Bringing a group of children to search for treasure, only to pocket it all in the end—isn't that pointless?
Moreover, gold coins worth 600 million yen would weigh at least 200 kilograms. How could someone possibly defeat three enemies in a mere two minutes, hide such a heavy load of gold, and then clean up all the traces? It's impossible!
Therefore, Conan also leans towards Inspector Megure's theory that this is a fake address, 2.2!
"Well, at least we caught these robbers!"
Inspector Megure had a good attitude. Even if he didn't get the big prize, catching a few small fry was still a contribution, and any contribution is a contribution!
"Gather the information from the scene, then call it a day!"
"Yes!"
.......
"Officer Sato~"
Seeing the smart and beautiful policewoman, Xia Ye took the initiative to go up and greet her.
"I heard from Xiaolan that you're also going to Yoko's concert, and you even have a seat next to her?"
"Yeah~"
Miwako Sato smiled heartily.
She knew that Xia Ye had taken the gold coins, but she didn't plan to tell her colleagues.
"The tickets she gave me after the case at Ms. Yoko's house that day were exactly the same ones she gave to Ran~"
"Miss Yoko is so thoughtful~" Xia Ye smiled and said, "Officer Sato, you're so busy with work, it would be good for you to relax by going to a concert!"
"Yes!"
That's what Sato Miwako said.
A strange glint flashed in her pale purple eyes.
Originally, she simply wanted to relax and unwind after a period of fatigue at this concert.
However, it's too late to relax now!
[Criminal Buster BUFF: Concerts or performances will attract many criminals, making them three times easier to apprehend during this period, lasting for 10 days.]
With such an outrageous buff, who can relax? Didn't you see how frustrated Yoko Okino was after randomly getting the buff?
Chapter 102 The Metropolitan Police Department's Invitation
Chiyoda District, Budokan.
The renovation of the venue for Yoko Okino's concert is basically complete, and the stage lighting and seating have been set up.
Backstage at the concert, Yoko Okino was there early in the morning. Although the concert was handled by professionals and she could hardly help, essentially acting as a mascot, she was still very happy to see everyone bustling around at her first solo concert.
but--
Wait until you open the log.
Looking at that ridiculous buff above, she suddenly couldn't be happy anymore.
Who would have thought there would be such a bizarre buff, the nemesis of evil? I'm just a small-time idol singer, I can't bear such a big responsibility, please leave me alone!
The thought that dozens or even hundreds of criminals might sneak into her concert made Yoko Okino feel both amused and exasperated.
Although I'm quite grateful that these criminals like my songs and took the time out of their busy criminal careers to attend my concert, if possible, I really want to refund all their tickets, even double the price, and let them go as far away as possible, so that everyone can save themselves some trouble.
pity.
The buff is too powerful!
On the log.
In the group chat that had already been formed.
Yoko: Officer Sato, how are your preparations going?
Miwako: We actually found several suspicious people who bought tickets under their real names on the list provided by the ticketing company. Two of them are even suspected of intentional assault. I don't know what they were thinking, being so arrogant as to use their real names. But it's good that way. The Metropolitan Police Department has decided to send twenty officers to the concert venue. Ms. Yoko, please help us explain to them that they can enter the venue.
Yoko: I understand, but are twenty people enough? If there are so many people using their real names, then there must be many anonymous and imposter criminals, right?
Miwako: There's nothing I can do. All I can say is that 07 was a tip from an informant. I can't produce any evidence. The reason the higher-ups sent people this time is because they actually found a few people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have believed the claim that criminals went to the concert.
Yoko: Oh well, that's just how it is~
Miwako: Haha, Yoko, don't be discouraged. If the higher-ups won't send anyone, I have other ideas!
Xiaolan: What method?
Miwako: Ran, aren't you still in class? Pay attention!
Xiaolan: It's break time now, Officer Sato, tell me quickly, what's your plan?
Miwako: Okay, I've told my colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Department about it. Those officers are all very righteous, and many of them have decided to help patrol the concert venue after get off work tonight. There are about thirty of them, so I'll have to trouble you, Yoko-san, too~
Xiaolan: ...
Yoko:......
Ran, who was in the classroom, and Yoko, who was in the martial arts hall, blinked at the same time.
Is Officer Sato, who is known as the "Flower of the Metropolitan Police Department," just pretending to be innocent?
sense of justice?
Aside from the older officers who might be concerned about Officer Sato like an old father, every single one of the younger male officers in the Metropolitan Police Department probably had some kind of romantic interest in Officer Sato.
Doesn't Officer Sato feel anything at all?
Are there really girls this slow to understand?
But that's not right either—
Officer Sato has a carefree and generous personality, and she could never be the kind of person who pretends to be innocent but is actually manipulative. As normal girls, they can clearly tell the difference.
It seems this honey trap was used unintentionally.
Miwako: Why aren't you saying anything?
Xiaolan: I was wondering if the arrest would cause any disturbance and affect Ms. Yangzi's concert?
Yoko: As long as the noise isn't too loud, it should be fine, especially during the performance. Once everyone gets into the mood, they basically don't pay attention to their surroundings.
Miwako: Yeah, our supervisor said that we can only take action if we are sure we can capture them all, otherwise we should just give up. Anyway, there is no specific mission objective for this operation, so it's a bonus if we can catch one or two criminals!
Yoko: Thank you!
Xiaolan: And there's also an iridescent microphone.
Xiaolan: We've already tested it, haven't we? The microphone's effect is weakened for us, but it's more effective at arousing the emotions of ordinary people. So, Officer Sato, as long as you act when the criminals are at their most excited or lowest, and with the Crime Buster buff making the arrest easier, there shouldn't be any problems!
Miwako: Ran, you're right~
Miwako: I'll stop here. I'll finish the case at hand and then go to the scene to observe the locations of the people who have already been identified.
Xiaolan: Officer Sato, are you busy with a case?
Miwako: Yes, I'm busy with a case, and it's about Natsume's case...
Yoko: Huh? What happened to Natsume?
Miwako: It's nothing much, he just took 600 million yen worth of maple leaf gold coins that the Italian robbery group smuggled into Japan...
Xiaolan: Is this okay?
Miwako: It's okay, he didn't leave any clues, Inspector Megure didn't suspect anything at all~
