"So that's it. It can be inferred that when they were preparing at Bumei's house, they discovered something was wrong with the family living in Room 2806. After asking the neighbors, they probably entered Room 2806 and were controlled after that.
Right?" Conan looked at Chi Feichi and asked doubtfully, "But how can Brother Chi be sure that this woman is the gangster who controlled them? It's possible that she is just the mistress of this family, right?"
Chi Feichi couldn't say that he knew the plot in advance, and no one would believe him, but he also had enough reasons to prove that the woman was a gangster, "She said that the children were all at her home. From what I know about the children, they
When I find someone coming to the door, I will run to the door curiously to see who it is. After hearing my voice, it is even more impossible that there will be no movement at all. This woman does not look like she is being coerced into lying, so I judge that she is.
She held the children hostage and controlled them."
Conan: "..."
On the contrary, these three little guys have always been very curious and familiar with themselves. Even if they are playing at someone else's house and find that the host has gone to open the door for the guests, they will not continue to play the game attentively. They will definitely take a curious look.
"In addition, after the woman opened the door, she blocked the door crack with her body. When she talked about the children playing in her home, she turned back and glanced into the room. When she turned her eyes away, she raised her eyes slightly, indicating that she was not watching the game.
She is a short child, but she is looking at someone taller than her," Chi Feichi continued, "Then her initial behavior of blocking the crack in the door with her body was not the defense of a woman living alone against strange visitors, but
In order to prevent visitors outside the door from seeing her accomplice, we speculated that her accomplice should be not far behind her. When she turned to look at her accomplice, her eyes only stayed in one place for a moment, and she could also make a preliminary judgment.
She has only one accomplice, and that is an accomplice who is standing not far behind her. When the door is fully opened, he will be seen by people outside. He is taller than her... After confirming this, we can formulate a plan.
A tactic that can bring them down as quickly as possible."
Takagi Wataru looked at the two gangsters who had woken up.
Mr. Chi had already confirmed the number of criminals, their height and general location before entering the door. It would not be unfair for these two people to be knocked down with a brick.
"By the way, Conan," Mitsuhiko asked Conan curiously, "we met Masao asking for help during a video call before. Why did you know right away that they are not Masao's parents?"
"Because Masao's forehead hair style is Mount Fuji," Conan turned to look at Masao standing with his mother and said with a smile, "This is a dominant inheritance. If both parents don't have this hairstyle, the child will not be able to
Yes, those two people don’t have such hairstyles, which means they are not the parents of a real man.”
The three children looked at Zhengnan's forehead, at the forehead of the fat woman next to Zhengnan, and then at the two gangsters who had woken up.
"It's true, the handsome man's hair has a protruding peak..."
"His mother has it too."
"But these two bad guys have perfectly flat foreheads."
"After receiving Haiyuan's email and knowing that you went to this family's house to test, I called Officer Takagi. Because I didn't trust you, I came over anyway," Conan reasoned with great interest, watching the two wake up.
The gangster said, "I asked Officer Takagi and he said that the family that originally lived here was named Uemura. Mr. Uemura was related to the recent tax evasion incident of Isobe Trading Company. Two weeks ago, Mr. Uemura was related to someone from Nichibe TV Station.
After discussing with a producer, he planned to use the evidence of the company's tax evasion as a trade to exchange benefits with the producer. After sending a delivery service to the producer, Mr. Uemura moved and hid, and his whereabouts are still missing.
I think that Mr. Uemura, like the producer, was targeted by someone who wanted to destroy evidence of tax evasion. Maybe he had encountered an accident, and the other party also learned about the evidence being sent from Mr. Uemura...
"
Haibara Ai looked at the two gangsters clearly and said, "Two weeks ago, the producer had a car accident after leaving Uemura's house. The producer also failed to receive the tax evasion evidence sent by Mr. Uemura using Delivery Service.
, this type of TA-Q-BIN will usually be kept in the post office for ten days after no one signs for it, and then returned to the sender. The two of them should have been hired by Isobe Shoji to retrieve the TA-Q-BIN containing evidence of tax evasion.
, that’s why we kidnapped Masao and his family who just moved here, pretended to be new residents, and were waiting here to sign for the TA-Q-BIN that was returned to the sender’s address.”
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Wataru Takagi, who was dressed as a TA-Q-BIN deliveryman, "So, is Officer Takagi dressed like this intending to pretend to be a deliveryman delivering returned items and trick them into letting down their guard and opening the door?"
"Yeah," Takagi Wataru smiled sheepishly, "Conan and I originally agreed that after the gangster opened the door, he would hide aside and hit the opponent with a football, and I would take the opportunity to rush in and rescue the hostages. But our preparations
It’s completely useless…”
Haiyuan Ai saw the two gangsters listening to their words in a daze after waking up, their faces turning green and white, not even paying attention to the injuries on their heads, and he sighed for the two of them in his heart.
It's not good for these two guys to provoke anyone. They must provoke the two reasoning madmen Edogawa and Fei Chi.
It's better now. Before they even met, the old man was completely stripped. When they met, he was knocked down directly and he was completely defeated.
…
Other police officers, contacted by Takagi Wataru, rushed to the apartment and took away the two gangsters.
Takagi Wataru stood under the building, watching the two gangsters get into the police car, and said with a helpless smile, "Although their head injuries are no longer bleeding, head injuries are not trivial. I think it is better to send them to the hospital for a check-up."
good."
On the side, Chi Feichi was sitting in a wheelchair, looking sideways at the red bricks packed in evidence bags in Takagi Wataru's hand, "Officer Takagi, can you return the things to me?"
This time, it was the two men who broke into the house and imprisoned the original owner first, and also controlled and kidnapped a group of children. The situation was critical. They hit people with bricks and threw bricks at them in order to rescue the hostages as soon as possible. After the two people fell unconscious,
He did not continue the attack, so there was no suspicion of intentional injury or overreaction.
Since he is not suspected of any illegal crime, after the police confirm that the brick is not a weapon brought by the two gangsters, but a tool he used to rescue the hostages, can they return it to him?
"Something?" Gao Mushe was stunned, looked down at the red brick in the evidence bag in his hand, and quickly handed it back to Chi Feichi, "Sorry, I almost forgot to return the thing to you, but Mr. Chi,
Where did you find the bricks..."
"I brought them from the UK. When renovating some retro buildings in London in recent years, they will use this kind of reinforced bricks that are better than the old red bricks but have similar appearance," Chi Feichi explained calmly, tapping the fingers of his right hand on the wheelchair.
He took the red brick from Takagi Wataru and put it back in the storage compartment under the armrest. "I have limited mobility now, so I always need to prepare some self-defense items with me."
Conan: "..."
So I brought a red brick from the UK to Japan, and kept it in the wheelchair storage space all day long, taking it wherever I went?
Haibara Ai:"……"
As long as she had half the tendency of Brother Fei Chi to have delusions of persecution, she would have already knocked down those two people without having Brother Fei Chi arrive today.
"Defense, self-defense," Takagi Shigan smiled and scratched his head, "I always feel that it is strange to carry bricks with me. I can't explain why..."
"Probably because Japan is prone to earthquakes, there are not many places that use red bricks as building materials, and it is difficult to pick up bricks on the roadside, so you feel strange," Chi Feichi said on behalf of the little red brick who had made a contribution, "Bricks are
If you plant something, even if your body cannot move much, you can shoot it with close attacks and throw it with long-range attacks, and the front area is large, making it easy to cause a stun effect, so it is very suitable for self-defense."
Koshimi Nanatsuki lowered his head and looked at the Tang sword in his hand.
Weapons such as the Tang Dao can only be used by those who know how to use them in close range attacks. If they are thrown from a long distance to hit people, due to the shape, it seems that there are no bricks that are easy to throw, and the throwing accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
There is no guarantee that someone will be knocked unconscious...
Conan thought about his belt football and foot-strengthening shoes.
His football can knock people out from a distance without any problem, but if the gangster is close in front of him, he has no space to kick the football out. Since the weight and hardness of the football are not enough, he can hit the opponent with the football without causing much damage.
In this comparison, slab tiles seem to have many advantages.
Yuantai, Ayumi, and Guangyan looked at the armrest of the wheelchair under Chi Feichi's right palm, and seemed to be able to see the red brick through the shell of the wheelchair.
And there seems to be no restriction on who can use the red bricks. Even children can use them as long as they can pick up the red bricks, and the power they exert is stronger than hitting someone with a rolling pin...
Takagi Wataru was thoughtful.
In the future, when chasing a fugitive, if he passes by a construction site and sees bricks on the ground, will he actually try to pick them up and throw them over?
Knocking down the criminal directly is much more practical than holding a gun but not being able to shoot at will as a deterrent.
Haihara Ai also glanced at the armrest of Chi Feichi's wheelchair.
Should she consider carrying such a weapon with her?
However, bricks are not light in weight and are not convenient to put in your pocket. If you walk around with a brick all day long, you will definitely be regarded as a dangerous snake by passers-by...
Unless you are in a wheelchair like Brother Fei Chi at any time, the brick can be placed in the wheelchair, making it convenient to use this weapon.
Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that Fei Chi chose the red brick as a weapon. He chose the best weapon based on his own situation.
Takagi Wataru felt that he wanted to try weapons like bricks more and more, so he quickly stopped his wandering thoughts and talked about another matter, "Ah, by the way, regarding this incident, the children need to go to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow.
Transcript, in addition, Mr. Chi and Miss Yueshui will probably go there to explain the process of rescuing the children."
Chi Feichi's face stiffened and he nodded in agreement, "No problem, I'm free recently."
"Then I'll leave first. You can call me in advance tomorrow!" Gao Mushe also had a headache when he thought about taking notes for Chi Feichi. He smiled at a group of people and got into the police car.
"Conan, don't you have a cold?" Ayumi turned to look at Conan and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now?"
Conan raised his hand and touched his forehead, "Probably because I was scared by you, I went out for a run again. My cold seems to be much better."
"Then let's go to Aumei's house together..." Mitsuhiko's smile froze on his face and he said dejectedly, "Oh no, before we were only focusing on the investigation, we haven't set up the party venue yet, and now we have nothing ready..."
"It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon now," Ayumi looked at her watch and sighed, "I promised my mother to tidy up the house after the party before six o'clock in the evening."
"Then let's go to the doctor's house to get together again," Koshimizu Nanatsuki comforted with a smile, "We'll go to the Metropolitan Police Department to take notes in the morning, and then we'll have a gathering at the doctor's house in the afternoon."
