Conan and Subaru Okiya frowned and carefully read the list of hundreds of people twice. They didn't find anything noteworthy about Yamanaka, so they started searching for relevant information online on their mobile phones.
Chi Feichi read the list sent by Gao Mushe, did not make any more calls, and casually searched for some people's information.
As he expected, because Ishikawa Shigeko needs to take care of her young children and won't travel too far and won't go to too unfamiliar places for safety, customers are also concentrated in this area. In addition, there may be old customers who specially take care of Ishikawa.
Shigeko is a mother who takes care of her children alone, so the delivery list and cleaning list have more than one or two repeat customers.
In this way, the most suspicious person is indeed Mr. Yamanaka. The gender, age, handedness, address, occupation, situation and other information all match. If no one else meets the conditions, then the target can be directly targeted.
Dr. A Li sat aside and watched the three of them staring at their phones seriously without saying a word. He couldn't help but said, "Um... do you want my help?"
"No, doctor."
Chi Feichi answered, recalling Mr. Yamanaka's information, stopped searching the online forum, and dialed the pet shop's landline number with his mobile phone.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
The phone rang for a long time, and when it was about to hang up, it was connected. The male voice on the other end was rich and hesitant, "Hello, hello, this is the Shanzhong Pet Shop..."
"Are you Mr. Yamanaka?" Chi Feichi said, "I saw on the Mihua Town Life Forum that you have large bird cages for sale. I wanted to buy them to house pigeons, so I called and asked. I don't know where you still have them.
Are there any for sale?”
"Ah..." The man over there seemed to be in a trance. He quickly came to his senses and returned to his true nature as a businessman. He said politely and sincerely, "If you want to cage birds the size of pigeons, I have many birds here that can cage up to ten birds."
Cages are available in various models. The larger bird cages are temporarily unavailable. I have not purchased them recently. If possible, I still recommend that you do not keep a large number of birds together, even if they are of the same species.
They are relatively gentle pigeons and are best kept in groups. Of course, if you insist on needing a large cage, I can also provide it, but it may take a while."
Next to him, Conan lay next to Chi Feichi, leaned close to the phone, and listened to the exchanges between the two. He joked in his mind that Chi Feichi was trying to establish a good relationship with the suspect first, and then waited for the ruthless reaction that would follow.
Stabbing on the back of the hand.
"A birdcage that can hold up to ten pigeons..." Chi Feichi deliberately remained silent for a moment, creating the illusion that he was hesitating and thinking, and then said, "I want to go to your store now and take a look at the cage first, okay?
?”
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not in the store right now."
"...So when are you free?"
"About eight o'clock in the evening. You can do it all day tomorrow."
"I'll contact you again tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll contact you then."
"beep."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Feichi put down the phone and immediately dialed the number of Mu Mu Shisan.
"Officer Megure, have the police arrived at the pet shop?"
"Brother Chi?" Megure Thirteen was a little surprised and said truthfully, "I have asked Sato to rush there. The cleaning company she went to before is not far from there, so she should be there soon."
"Please ask Officer Sato to hurry up," Chi Feichi said in a calm tone, appearing very determined, "I just called the pet store, and I may have alerted the other party."
Conan: "!"
Okiya Subaru: "!"
Dr. A Li: "!"
"Wha...what?!" Mu Mu Shisan on the other side of the phone raised his voice instantly, "Brother Chi, you said you might have alerted the other party? What on earth is going on?"
Chi Feichi explained calmly, "I called the pet shop on the landline and lied that I wanted to buy a birdcage. I asked him if I could go to the pet shop to have a look. He said he was not in the pet shop."
"Ah?" Mumu Shisan was confused.
"He said he wasn't in the pet store."
Chi Feichi reminded again.
He called the pet store's landline and the other party answered, but said he was not in the store.
Even if an extension is installed, due to distance restrictions, the extension cannot be outside the store.
What was he talking to on the phone? A ghost?
He proposed to visit the birdcage, simply because he wanted to hear how the other party would respond and whether there would be any flaws that could prove that he had found the wrong person. As a result, the other party's flaws were really exposed.
Once the other party reacts, he is likely to worry that his 'guest' will notice something unusual, and then worry that his crime will be discovered, and worry about his own safety. Sometimes, the kidnapper cannot stand the excitement... but he is really innocent.
It wasn't that he said something strange, it was the other person who said something strange.
He just continued his words naturally and tried his best.
"He said he wasn't here..." Mumu Shisan came to his senses and was speechless for a moment before asking, "Brother Chi, have you... have you..."
"I pretended not to react, and made an appointment with him to contact you tomorrow morning, and then I called you." Chi Feichi paused, "When I called him, it took him a long time to answer the phone, and he was a little uneasy at first.
Ning, for telling such a lie again, I can basically confirm that he is the kidnapper. In addition, since he is in a pet shop but does not want customers to come and see the birdcage, he should have locked up Miss Ishikawa Shigeko in the pet shop. The police went there
When you are in danger, you should be more careful and look for opportunities to rescue people."
"I understand, Brother Chi, I will call Sato to explain the current situation," Megure Shisan said in a serious tone, "In addition, Brother Maori and I will also rush over now. If you find anything over there,
Please be sure to contact us in time!”
"good."
After Chi Feichi hung up the phone, the Maori Detective Agency fell into silence.
Conan, Dr. Agasa, and Subaru Okiya thought about Yamanaka's wrong answer and wanted to complain about something, but they didn't know how to say it, so they could only remain silent with complicated emotions.
After a while, Conan put Yamanaka's mistake behind him and asked curiously, "But how did Brother Chi determine that the kidnapper belonged to Mr. Yamanaka? Although the online forum said that his store has encountered difficulties recently and is facing closure.
but……"
"The kidnappers didn't kidnap Ms. Shigeko to extort money, right?" Subaru Okiya took over the words, lowered his head and stared at the phone with squinted eyes, "And in that list, it's not just Mr. Yamanaka who has financial problems, such as that
The owner of a restaurant located in Yoneka-cho 1-chome once asked Ms. Shigeko to clean the house, but the restaurant seemed to be not doing well and was about to close down."
Chi Feichi thought about a lot of explanations and couldn't help but fell silent for a moment, "It's a long story."
Okiya Subaru waited for a while but didn't hear what was going on. He looked up at Chi Feichi in confusion, "So..."
"To make a long story short..." Chi Feichi paused, feeling that he couldn't explain it in a few sentences, and then said, "It's better not to say anything."
quiet.
Okiya Subaru: "..."
He just wanted to know how Chi Feichi identified the kidnapper, what was his fault, and why should he face such an answer?
The corner of Conan's mouth twitched slightly, but he understood Chi Feichi's habit of being very perfunctory when he didn't want to explain. He didn't ask further, and asked another question that had puzzled him for a long time, "Then, why did Brother Chi give me the note of 'mention'?"
Mo'ah? What does Teemo mean? And Mr. Okiya's remarks, why is it 'Sacco'?"
He slowly thought about the method of locking the kidnapper. Is it okay to ask this?
Chi Feichi: "..."
Because he felt that ‘the team battle can be lost, but Teemo must die’. How could he say such a malicious answer?
Conan said with half-moon eyes, "Is this a long story? Isn't this a word with a bad connotation?"
"Timo is a small but very powerful hero." Chi Feichi reluctantly answered.
"Hero?" Conan tried hard to search the knowledge reserves in his brain, "Is there a hero with this name?"
"A game character." Chi Feichi added.
Conan looked understanding and gave up the memory, laughing inwardly.
It turns out to be a game character. No wonder the name is so strange. No wonder he doesn't know it. However, using the name of a game character to make notes to people around him who have corresponding characteristics is indeed something a game fan like Chi Feichi can do.
Of course, he was skeptical as to whether this game character was as good as Chi Feichi said.
"Mr. Chi, isn't Shaco also a game character?" Subaru Okiya asked speechlessly.
Chi Feichi nodded calmly.
Dr. A Li was interested in Chi Feichi's imagination, "Feichi, what kind of game character is Sako?"
"I just made a casual note." Chi Feichi said blatantly and perfunctorily.
Okiya Subaru: "..."
Since Conan's remarks correspond to the characteristics of the game character, there is no reason why his remarks should be chosen randomly.
He was skeptical about whether the character was good or not, and whether it had any strange attributes.
"What about the note you gave me? What is it?" Dr. Ali asked curiously.
"Heimerdinger," Chi Feichi answered without hesitation this time, "is a great inventor who likes to play with instruments."
Okiya Subaru narrowed his eyes and looked at Conan, then they both lowered their heads and used their mobile phones to search for 'Sako' online.
When it comes to his remarks, he is very perfunctory. He seriously suspects that this is not a good game character. Check it out. You must check it out!
When Dr. Ali saw the two of them staring at their phones with serious faces, he smiled helplessly and continued to question Chi Feichi with interest.
"Fei Chi, what about Xiao Ai's notes?"
"Elise..."
after an hour.
Hui Yuan Ai yawned, and slowly went downstairs alone with two little ones who were also sleepy-eyed. He found that the door on the second floor was open and went straight in.
In the office on the second floor, Dr. Agasa and Conan sat side by side on the sofa on one side, and Chi Feichi and Subaru Okiya sat side by side on the opposite sofa. The four of them quietly lowered their heads and stared at their phones. Even Fei Chi looked over.
Chi Feichi’s mobile phone.
Haiyuan Ai was stunned for a moment, paying close attention to the solemn expressions of Conan and a certain pink-haired man.
Christmas didn't feel anything was wrong with the atmosphere and walked up to Chi Feichi, smiled and extended his hand, "A hug!"
Sawada Hiroki's face fell, but thinking that she was a little girl on Christmas, she decided to give in and tried her best to climb onto the sofa next to Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi put away his cell phone, holding a baby in each hand. After picking it up, he placed one on his lap. He turned to ask Haiyuan Ai, who was walking over, "Have you slept enough?"
Haiyuan Ai had a dark look on her face. Her brother asked this kind of question with an indifferent expression. Who knows, it can be easily misunderstood as a reproach. Fortunately, she understood that this was just a daily inquiry without any malice, "I've slept enough.
What's wrong with them? Is Miss Shigeko's situation in danger?"
