"It is said that the police have been searching for Tanaka Tomoshi for more than a day since yesterday," Mitsuhiko said to the other members of the Youth Detective Team after walking out of the department store. "I don't know where he escaped."

"He obviously escaped with the body. There is no reason why he could escape the search." Conan also looked helpless. (It is impossible for Conan to discover the truth. The prerequisite for him to discover the truth is to see the sleeping body. But

The body had been put away after Qian Yu left.)

"Ah!" Yuanta suddenly flipped through his schoolbag in panic, "It's over! My Masked Man's signature!"

"Masked Man?" Qianyu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. "In the Masked Man stage play you watched on the top floor, the signature given to you by the Masked Man actor??"

"That's right," Conan glanced at Genta. "You were buying books at the time, so you didn't know."

"This is 555555 that I want to keep as a lifelong treasure-" Yuantai said dejectedly.

"You didn't come downstairs with your signature. When I saw you, you only took a hot dog." Qianyu's mouth twitched. "So you must have left it on the top floor, right?"

"I remember, Yuanta, you took the autograph to buy hot dogs, right?" Conan looked at Yuanta. "Did you leave it at the hot dog vendor?"

"Ah! Yes!" Yuantai suddenly thought of it. "I just left it there! I must get the treasure back!"

"It closes at six o'clock. It's already five forty-eight. Are you serious?" Qian Yu glanced at his watch and asked.

"Twelve minutes is enough! A treasure is a treasure, and I must bring it back!" After Yuantai finished speaking, he ran towards the department store.

"Shall we go?" Qianyu looked at the others.

"Yuan Tai has gone, of course we are going too!" After Mitsuhiko finished speaking, he followed.

"..." Qianyu looked at the others and followed them one by one, holding his forehead and sighing. "Okay, okay..."

...

"Twelve minutes, is that enough?" Seeing that the anti-theft rolling shutter door in front of him was completely closed, Qianyu frowned and asked Yuantai in a bad tone.

"No...I'm sorry..." Yuantai scratched his head guiltily.

"Then what should we do now? Do we have to wait until tomorrow morning to go out?" Mitsuhiko asked worriedly.

"Go to the security room and talk to him. He should let us out." Conan pointed to the schematic diagram next to him, which stated that the security room is on the second underground floor.

As a group of people walked towards the stairs, Qianyu's eyes glanced at the public phone, and then focused on the bottom of the public phone - although the light coming from the window was not too strong, at least he could see the three connected under the public phone.

The phone lines seemed to be down.

Qianyu's nerves immediately tightened, and the traceless umbrella originally placed in the side pocket of her schoolbag was immediately taken out and held in her hand. The phone lines of the three public telephones were naturally disconnected. This is definitely an extremely small probability event, small enough to

I just think this is man-made.

"Keep your footsteps soft and stay vigilant," Qianyu thought of this and whispered to the others. "It seems that the public phone lines have been cut off, something is not right."

"Telephone line?" Conan was stunned, looked at the stairs in front, and then thought for a moment. "Ayumi Mitsuhiko Genta, wait here now. If there are footsteps coming from below, quietly come over and tell us. Qian

Don't make a sound! Qianyu, come with me and take a look." (If the footsteps come from the other side, Conan can hear them himself and does not need to be reminded.)

Qianyu and Conan tiptoed to the telephone and found that not only these three telephones, but all six public telephones had their telephone lines cut off.

"The cross section is very smooth." Qianyu touched the phone line port with his hand, and there was a hint of solemnity in his tone.

"Man-made," Conan frowned and looked around. "I also feel that something is not right."

"Now the question is, why did they do this... Oh, by the way, let them find a place to hide first, just in case." Qianyu thought, but suddenly remembered that the focus now should be to protect other people.

Instead of exploring what happened.

"You should also hide first," Conan touched his watch. "Keep an eye on them, please."

Conan really attaches great importance to Qianyu - just as Qianyu feels that Conan is the person who can best communicate with him; after living on campus these days, Conan also feels that Qianyu is the only person who can resonate with him.

Mature and steady, unlike other little guys who are almost childish. During the miserable years when he was getting smaller, Qianyu was definitely his best spiritual partner.

"Can your self-defense weapon still work?" Qianyu glanced at the cutout of the phone line again. "If there are really criminals, they will at least have knives to cut the phone line. Once we are surrounded, we have almost no chance of winning.

.”

Qianyu knew that Conan had some weapons that could participate in the battle against adults, such as the anesthesia needle on the watch that Conan used yesterday to make Akira, who kept trying to escape along the way and almost scratched Genta's clothes, fall asleep;

There is also the pair of ingenious shoes that were able to kick the football used in physical education class from the equipment room to the class venue dozens of meters away in one breath. These two items are said to have been invented by Dr. Agasa of the Ming Dynasty. Their combat power is absolutely

It can handle one or two adults. But firstly, it is still unknown whether there are additional anesthesia needles in the watch or in Conan's hand. Secondly, since those shoes have such a powerful ability, they must consume a lot of energy, so this

Can the energy stored in the shoes be enough to allow Conan to fight against possible criminals?

"I can still use my shoes twice, and there is an anesthetic needle in my watch. Even if I am discovered, I can return it intact." Conan called Qianyu back to Genta. "Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi

, listen to me carefully..."

...

On the first floor, there is a clothing store.

There are four rows of shelves with hanging clothes in the store, one of which is embedded in the wall. In the shadow formed by the clothes and the wall, a figure is looking out.

Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko have already hid in the fitting room inside the store, while Qianyu is here monitoring every move outside.

——Qianyu’s thoughts went back to a few minutes ago.

"We need to find an absolutely safe place to place you first." Conan took Qianyu and others to this clothing store and warned Qianyu. "I know this store. They are all old employees with more than ten years of experience. They are very nice.

Well, the possibility of complicity is low, so this is definitely not a hiding place that uninvited guests would choose. Uninvited guests attack here for nothing more than profit, and the best choice for those who are greedy for profit is the ornaments and gold and silver upstairs, so this

The clothing store is definitely not a place that the robbers will explore, so you hide it here with them, and I will take action after I have investigated the specific situation."

————My thoughts return to the present.

"But then again," Qian Yu sneered. "Actually, these may just be my own unfounded worries... It would be very embarrassing if it was just a false alarm."
