In order to verify whether the reasoning they made was correct, Tang Ze and Conan came to Qingxue Publishing House.
Some people may be wondering why they came to this publishing house and what kind of connection it has with the case.
The answer is that the magazine at the "Tetsuryu" ramen shop is published by Seigaku Publishing House.
After all, they don't have any channels to know more about each other.
And more importantly, the other party published a photo of Ms. Yasuyo Akimoto in the magazine's photo introduction to the store.
In their reasoning, the other party pretended to be a fake criminal because of Miss Akimoto Yasushiro, so go to the publishing house that publishes the magazine and ask the person who wrote the article, maybe they can get some information.
After expressing his intention, the young editor wearing glasses smiled and said: "I have an impression about the publication of this photo. He himself said that he wanted to publish this photo."
"Speaking of which, in this photo, the eldest sister's expression is very beautiful." Conan put forward his own guess based on his childish identity: "Could it be that the eldest brother likes sister Akimoto Yasuyo?
Is that why you chose this photo?”
After hearing Conan's speculation, the young editor quickly picked up the magazine and looked at Miss Yasushiro Akimoto with a surprised expression on her face: "I see, I didn't expect it to be her!"
"It seems like this is what happened?"
Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and showed interest: "Can you tell me the situation in detail? It would be better if you also tell me the basic situation of the boss."
"That boss's name is Odawara Tetsuji. To be honest, he is my high school classmate."
The young editor smiled and said: "After the interview that day, we made an appointment to go drinking together, and then I found out that the guy had someone he liked.
But I believe you have also seen Odawara. His fierce face that keeps strangers away is a trouble that even he himself feels distressed.
So he is just in unrequited love.
I asked him to have the courage to work harder, but he said that as long as he could protect her silently, that would be enough."
Speaking of this, the young editor looked at everyone and smiled and explained to his friend: "Don't look at his fierce look when he doesn't talk. He doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, but in fact, that guy is very kind at heart.
Very delicate.”
"Thank you, this is very helpful to us." Tang Ze thanked him.
"No, although I don't know what happened to him, he will definitely not do bad things." The young editor smiled and said, "If I can make you change your mind, that would be great."
After bidding farewell to the editor, the group left the publishing house and found Ms. Yasushiro Akimoto again, asking her if she had mentioned that she would work overtime at the "Iron Dragon" ramen restaurant.
After some reflection, Ms. Yasushiro Akimoto said that she had indeed mentioned working overtime this week while chatting with her friends while eating at the "Iron Dragon" Ramen Restaurant.
At that time, I also said that I had to take the last train and walk at night, so I was a little worried.
"Sister! The fake criminal you said you met at night was not just pretending to steal things!" Ayumi said with a serious face after listening to what Miss Yasushiro Akimoto said.
"Eh? Do you think you already know who it is?" Akimoto Yasushiro was surprised when he heard this.
"Although it's just inferences from clues so far, the intelligence can match the target."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "Of course, all this needs to be confirmed with me before we can confirm it."
Because he was afraid that Miss Akimoto Yasushiro would take action without authorization after learning the information, Tang Ze stopped the three children who just wanted to say
After bidding farewell to Ms. Yasushiro Akimoto for the time being, the group went to the nearby Mihua Park again to compile information.
After so many investigations, the situation has actually become obvious. After learning that the woman he has been secretly in love with will have to work overtime for a week and come home late.
Odawara Tetsuji couldn't help but feel worried. If possible, he hoped that he could protect Miss Yasushiro Akimoto's safety when she walked home at night.
But when I thought about the fact that I was born with a ferocious look that made me shy away from strangers, if I really did this, it would definitely cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so I had to give up.
But not long after that on Sunday, Mihua Radio's "100 Police Officers Search Network" came to the Mihua Park near his home for filming.
At that time, the criminal uniforms worn by the actors caught his attention.
After seeing the uniform, he thought of a way to protect Miss Yasushiro Akimoto in an upright manner.
After stealing the uniform, he disguised himself as a criminal and appeared in front of Miss Yasushiro to protect her safety.
And this is the truth. As for the criminal who continuously broke into the empty door, I am afraid it is someone else.
"But he hasn't come back yet." When he arrived at the "Iron Dragon" ramen shop, Genta knocked on the door, then leaned in front of the window and took a look, and found that the shop was still empty.
"It's troublesome."
Karasawa couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the shop that was still closed: "Isn't it because he heard that Miss Yasushiro Akimoto still believed in his innocence, so he planned to catch the thief who broke into the empty door continuously."
"It's not impossible." Conan frowned and said, "We have to find him quickly, otherwise it will be too dangerous."
"Anyway, let's find him first and then talk about it."
Tang Ze looked at the three little ones aside and said, "Remember, contact me immediately after you find him, and you are not allowed to act without permission, do you hear me?"
"Hi!" Faced with Tang Ze's request, the third kid showed no resistance at all and agreed with a serious expression.
This is the brilliance of lying down. If restrictions are placed on them, the three boys will look down on them and develop a rebellious mentality.
But if they were given a task in a serious manner, Sanxiao would strictly abide by Tang Ze's orders just to ensure their own reliable image.
Of course, Karasawa is not worried about safety issues.
First of all, this was during the day, and the search range was fixed at locations near Mihua Park and Ms. Yasushiro Akimoto's apartment.
The little ones in these places are actually very familiar with them when they usually play here, so they don't need to worry about anything.
"Let's go too."
Looking at the few scattered ones, Karasawa looked at Conan and then picked a direction to start searching.
at the same time.
Just as they were thinking, Odawara Tetsuji did not return to the shop because he heard that Miss Akimoto Yasushiro was still willing to believe in his innocence, so in order to repay her trust, he impulsively planned to catch the man who broke in.
A prisoner.
But when he walked around on the street with his criminal uniform, he found that he was like a headless fly with no direction or clue.
'It seems I have no choice...'
On the street, Tetsuji Odawara walked with purpose: "I originally wanted to catch the thief who broke into the empty door, but who knew that I didn't have any clues..."
Just as he said this, a man wearing a fancy shirt passed by him. The gust of wind caused by the man as he passed by caught his attention.
The strong smell of alcohol made him subconsciously take another look at the other person.
"Ah, it's the one from yesterday..." After seeing the other person's face, Tetsuji Odawara recognized the other person as the middle-aged man who was drunk last night.
He turned around and took a step to leave, but the next moment he stood still, recalling in his mind Ayumi's words after the food splashed on him.
The next moment, when he realized something, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately turned around and followed the middle-aged man to an apartment.
After confirming the other party's address, Odawara Tetsuji changed into the uniform in his hand, dressed up as a criminal and knocked on the other party's door.
"Who?"
"I wonder if you still remember me?" Looking at the man who opened the door, Tetsuji Odawara lowered the brim of his hat and said, "I am yesterday's criminal."
"Last night?" The middle-aged man scratched his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I drank too much yesterday, so I really have no memory..."
"It is true that you smelled strongly of alcohol last night, but that was just the smell coming from the clothes you were wearing."
Odawara Tetsuji looked at the man and said, "I'm pretty sure that the smell didn't come from your mouth."
"Mr. Criminal, what exactly do you want to say?" The middle-aged man had a puzzled and innocent expression on his face, as if he still planned to get away with it.
But at the next moment, Odawara Tetsuji did grab the opponent's shoulder, pulled him in front of him and said in a deep voice: "You are wandering around pretending to be a drunk drunkard, but in fact you are taking the opportunity to choose a vacant room for convenience.
Commit the crime!"
As soon as Odawara Tetsu finished speaking, he was pushed down by the man and hit against the fence.
"stop!"
Without bothering to pick up the fallen hat, Tetsuji Odawara quickly got up and chased the man downstairs.
"Stop, you thief who broke into the empty door!!"
The two of them ran and quickly reached the downstairs. While Odawara Tetsuji was chasing the man, he kept shouting, hoping that passers-by could hear him and help stop him.
This scene happened to be seen by Miss Akimoto Yasushiro who had just come downstairs. She heard that the man who was considered a fake criminal was chasing a middle-aged man. In order to find out the truth, Akimoto Yasushiro quickly chased after him.
One of them ran and the other chased, and soon they reached the vicinity of Rice Flower Park. Seeing that the middle-aged man could not get rid of Tetsuji Odawara, he began to climb up the garden at the entrance of the park, intending to use the terrain to get rid of him.
Unfortunately, all this was seen by Karasawa and Conan who were searching nearby.
After hearing Tetsuji Odawara's constant shouting, the two of them also concluded that the man who escaped was mentally disturbed.
So after a moment to figure out the situation and predict the man's escape route, Karasawa took out a [Magic Poker] that was shaped like a brick and weighed similar to a brick and threw it directly at the man.
In order to prevent himself from turning his head and hitting the man to death, Tangze deliberately aimed at the opponent's legs and threw the "hidden weapon" over.
Speaking of which, this thing had been thrown by Karasawa many times as a hidden weapon. It felt so smooth that there was almost no suspense and it hit the man's right leg directly.
He only heard a scream from the other party, and the next moment he fell to the ground with a "dog chewing shit" face.
Odawara Tetsuji, who was chasing him from behind, saw the man suddenly collapse. Although he didn't know why the man suddenly became like this, he quickly ran over and threw him down on the ground.
"Regarding the recent serial break-in and theft cases, please cooperate with our investigation."
Looking at the middle-aged man who was still struggling on the ground, Tangze took out the criminal certificate and at the same time took out the handcuffs he carried with him and cuffed the man's hands behind his back.
After that, Tang Ze also contacted the criminal police officer at the nearby police station and asked him to bring someone over to take the thief away.
When he saw the bearded criminal next to the thief who had broken into the empty door, the young inspector wanted to ask questions, but was stopped by Karasawa's eyes.
After the other party and his companions escorted the middle-aged thief away, Tang Ze looked at the silent bearded criminal.
"Mr. Tetsuji Odawara, there is no need to disguise your identity at this time." Karasawa looked at the other party and said, "We all already know your identity."
Odawara Tetsuji glanced at Miss Akimoto Yasushiro who was coming over from the side, and finally nodded and took off the beard and glasses on his face, revealing his true face.
After seeing Odawara Tetsuji's original face, Miss Akimoto Yasushiro watched him step forward and said hesitantly: "What are you doing... for?"
Odawara Tetsuji looked at her and turned his face aside silently, unwilling to answer her questions.
However, Odawara Tetsuji himself is unwilling to answer Akimoto Yasuyo's question, which does not mean that no one can answer it.
"Actually, the answer is obvious. I think Sister Akimoto, you should have some guesses."
I saw Conan walking up to Akimoto Yasushiro and the two of them and said: "This uncle is actually just to protect a single woman who can only walk home at night because of overtime work, and to escort her home safely. That's why.
Pretending to be a criminal, right?”
"How did you know?" Odawara Tetsuji looked at Conan in surprise after hearing what he said, wondering why the other party knew what he was thinking.
"We went to the magazine and got some information from your friends."
After answering Tetsuji Odawara's question, Karasawa looked at him seriously: "But no matter what the reasons or difficulties are, it is not allowed for a person who is not a criminal to pretend to be a criminal."
"Uncle, your intentions are good this time, but you used the wrong method." Conan looked at Odawara Tetsuji and said, "You should be braver and use a different method."
"Sorry..." Tetsuji Odawara whispered.
"I am arresting you now on suspicion of identity fraud and illegal theft of other people's clothing."
Karasawa looked at him and patted Odawara Tetsuji on the shoulder and said, "Please come with me."
Odawara Tetsuji nodded, got up obediently, and followed Karasawa to leave.
At this moment, Akimoto Yasushiro’s voice came from behind:
