Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1338 One after another

Teitan Elementary School, the playground in front of the main entrance.

Under the setting sun, Conan and Wakasa Rumi were walking on a deserted playground.

"Conan, is that okay?"

"Ah."

Conan nodded confidently, "As long as the group can read the code on the note, they will definitely show up at the abandoned warehouse at midnight tonight."

"When the time comes, we just need to let Officer Gao Mu, who is waiting here, catch all those people in one fell swoop..."

In the afternoon, Conan contacted his "senior disciple" - Policeman Takagi - by phone and asked him to come over at midnight to pick up the work.

However, in order to prevent Gao Mu from losing in a 1V3 situation, he, as the master, will come over to support him at 0: tonight.

"Oh, I see……"

"Then I'll come and watch tonight! It feels like a test of courage!"

There was excitement on Wakasa Rumi's face, and the orange sunset light was reflected on the lens of her right eye.

"Eh?"

Conan was stunned, turned to look at Wakasa Rumi, and asked: "Does Wakasa teacher live nearby?"

"Yeah! I rented an apartment nearby just to make it more convenient for work~" Wakasa Rumi replied with a smile.

"That's it..."

The two of them strolled to the school gate and seemed to have become the last group of teachers and students to leave school.

The rule of Teitan Elementary School is that the school will remain open for one hour after school to prevent lost students from coming back to get their belongings.

"Well, Conan-san, see you tomorrow~"

"Goodbye, Mr. Wakasa~"

The two waved goodbye at the school gate, one went left and the other went right.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Conan saw his own shadow cast on the ground, alone.

I went home alone after school all of a sudden. Without the chattering of Ayumi and the others, I felt a little uncomfortable...

Conan smiled slightly and walked to the first corner with his small schoolbag on his back.

But when he just showed his head, a brown-haired girl was already standing at the corner waiting for him.

Conan was frightened by the brown-haired girl and his body trembled and he stood still.

"Grey Yuan!"

"Why are you here?"

Huiyuan Ai stood at the corner, staring at Conan with her half-moon eyes drooping, and said, "Let's see what you are busy with..."

"us?"

Conan looked around Haibara Ai and saw that the three little ones were not there, so he quickly asked, "Are you saying that Ayumi and the others are also...?"

Huihara Ai: "They thought you might be hiding something from us, so they followed you. I thought you had to take this route home anyway, so I didn't go with you..."

"Why? You didn't run into them?"

"Following me?" Conan was stunned. How come he didn't realize that he was being followed?
The key point is that he was followed by the three little ones and he didn’t even notice.

"No……"

Conan thought about it carefully in his mind and suddenly realized that after school, he parted with the Junior Detective Team at the school gate, took a casual detour and returned to Teitan Elementary School.

After that, I performed a play with Wakasa Rumi according to the plan made in the afternoon.

If the three little ones had been following me, they should have seen the scene between me and Wakasa Rumi.

The key point is that in order to arouse the interest of the three robbers, I deliberately used the word "treasure".

As we all know, anything related to treasure is a trap for three little ones.

Those three people will definitely be fooled!
Conan's eyes were startled, and he quickly pressed the power button on the criminal tracking glasses, switching to the mode of tracking the detective medal.

I saw that the light spots of the three medals had gathered in the same place, which was the abandoned warehouse behind the school.

Oops!

The three of them were indeed caught!
At this time, seeing Conan's sudden change in expression, Huiyuan Ai also realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly asked: "Did something happen?"

"Well, I guess Ayumi and the others have been caught by the robbers..."

"Mugger?"

Haibara Ai did not investigate with Conan, so she knew nothing about the robbery that happened ten years ago.

"Ten years ago, a capitalist was killed by a robbery gang near Teitan Elementary School, and gold bars worth 10 million yen were also stolen."

"Afterwards, the robbers hid the gold in an abandoned warehouse at Teitan Elementary School and agreed to share the loot using a secret code."

"But I didn't expect that the leader of the robbery gang accidentally fell down the stairs when he was hiding the stolen money in an abandoned warehouse... This is the truth about the skeleton found in the warehouse today."

"There are also pieces of cloth with strange words written on them, which are actually secret codes used by robbery gangs to convey information."

Conan told Haibara Ai the truth of the case that he had investigated in the afternoon.

After hearing this, Haibara Ai showed shock on her face.

Conan continued: "When the police came to investigate the skeleton, someone had already disclosed this matter on the Internet."

"Other members of the robbery gang saw the code above and have already found the school."

"I originally wanted to trick them into coming back at night, and then let Officer Takagi catch them all in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect..."

"I guess Ayumi and the others have been captured by that group of criminals."

After hearing the whole story, Haibara Ai realized the seriousness of the problem, even though she still lacked details.

She quickly suggested, "Then call the police now! Let the police come and handle it..."

"Um……"

"But the other party knows that Ayumi and the others are elementary school students. If they don't go home, their parents will definitely call the police."

"In order to avoid being exposed here, they will definitely move them to other places soon."

Conan's expression was serious, "Even if the police come, they can take Ayumi and the others as hostages, and things will get out of hand."

"What do you mean?" Although Haibara Ai asked, she had already guessed what Conan was thinking.

"I have to find a way to rescue them..."

……

Teitan Elementary School, abandoned warehouse.

In the dark basement, the three little ones were tied together with ropes and shivering.

Opposite the three boys stood three adults with ferocious expressions.

"Hey, what are we going to do with these little devils?"

"They already know about the money, we definitely can't let them go back!"

"Damn it! Everything was going well, but something like this happened!"

The three were also very angry about being seen.

Originally they came to take the stolen money and didn't want to cause any trouble, but unexpectedly they were seen by three money-grubbing little devils.

After thinking for a while, the square-jawed man said, "There's nothing we can do. It seems we can only silence him..."

"Silence them?" The fat-faced man was stunned. "Do you mean to kill these three little devils?"

"Yeah." The square-chinned man analyzed, "These kids are all elementary school students who go to school here. If their parents find their children missing, they will definitely call the police."

"Those scumbags will definitely be searching the school and the roads tonight, which will affect our ability to get the money."

"Especially the boss is a cautious person. Seeing so many cops roaming around, he will definitely not show up."

"The only way now is to kill these three little devils and dump their bodies somewhere else to draw the attention of the cops away."

The square-chinned man's analysis was very accurate and was immediately recognized by the fat-faced man and the thin-faced man.

"It seems like this is the only way..."

The fat-faced man turned around and shone the flashlight on the three little ones, muttering, "You can only blame your bad luck. In your next life, don't think about money that doesn't belong to you..." "Okay, you keep an eye on them. I'll go upstairs to see if there are any bags that can hold the bodies."

After saying that, the square-jawed man left the basement via the stairs.

The remaining fat-faced man and thin-faced man are on guard here.

Although the three little ones didn't understand what was going on at this time, they also realized that they had met a real bad guy.

Looking for treasure and then encountering bad guys who also covet the treasure is a regular feature of the Young Detective Team.

But the three kids just couldn’t understand why they were always the ones tied up by the bad guys?

If it were in the past, the three little ones could still hope that Conan could make a comeback.

But this time, Conan left behind the clues to the treasure and went home, and he will definitely not come back.

Although there is only Haibara Ai who knows that the three of them are secretly following Conan and can call the police, according to the bad guys' plan, they will dispose of them to other places once they find the bag containing the bodies.

By the time the police arrived, they had all turned into cold, hard corpses.

When they thought of this, a feeling of despair enveloped the three little ones.

Since the three little ones' mouths were blocked, they could only sob quietly with tears in their eyes.

Seeing the three little ones start to cry, the fat-faced man, who was already a little annoyed, shouted, "Little devils! Stop crying!"

But the thin-faced man next to him stopped him and said with a sinister smile: "Haha, it doesn't matter, just let them cry..."

"They don't have much time left anyway."

"By the way...crying also counts as time~"

As he spoke, the man with the thin face shone the flashlight from his chin to his face, making his already skull-thin face even more horrifying.

Hearing these threatening words and faces, the three little ones became even more frightened.

The fat-faced man sitting on the steps looked at the thin-faced man's actions and said with a smile, "It's been 10 years, and you still have such a bad taste..."

The thin-faced man replied, "If I wasn't so good at intimidating people, the capitalist wouldn't have revealed the combination of the safe where the gold bars were kept so easily."

"makes sense……"

whoosh-

A barely perceptible sound of breaking air was heard in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the fat-faced man who was originally sitting on the steps to rest suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the side.

Bang.

The thin-faced man heard the sound and looked back, only to find the fat-faced man lying on the ground in a dog-eating shit posture.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?"

The thin-faced man quickly ran over to check and pushed the fat-faced man twice, but there was no response.

At this moment, he heard the crackling sound of electric discharge coming from above the stairs again.

"Ok?"

The thin-faced man looked up and saw a primary school student stepping on colorful electric lights and a football gradually expanding on his waist and abdomen.

Just as he was stunned, the football completed its expansion and popped out automatically.

Conan aimed in the right direction and kicked the ball straight out.

The football, wrapped in colorful electric light, flew straight to the wall at the same height as Conan, smashed a small hole in the wall, then bounced back and hit the back of the thin-faced man right below.

The man with the thin face had his internal organs smashed into pieces and he fainted immediately.

Seeing Conan, who looked like he had won, subdued the two bad guys in an instant, the three little ones' eyes immediately lit up.

Conan ran over and took out the cloth stuffed in the three people's mouths.

"Conan! Why are you back?" Mitsuhiko asked excitedly.

But Conan knew that now was not the time to answer this, so he untied the ropes that bound the three people and asked, "Where is the other person?"

"There's another person..." Mitsuhiko was stunned for a moment, "Isn't he in the warehouse upstairs?"

"In the warehouse?"

Conan was stunned and immediately realized that something was wrong.

When I came in, I was attracted by the sound coming from the basement and did not check the warehouse carefully.

At this moment, the three little ones, who were originally excited about escaping death, saw Conan's back and instantly showed expressions of fear.

Conan turned around immediately, but it was too late.

The square-chinned man grabbed Conan's neck and lifted him up like a chick.

Seeing Conan's face, Tomano was also a little shocked.

"Aren't you the little ghost with glasses at dusk?"

"Why are you..."

The square-chinned man was stunned, recalling what he had seen before, and immediately guessed that the kid had returned because he was reluctant to give up the so-called treasure.

"Haha, why do kids nowadays only care about money and not their lives?"

"Since you are all here, you can come together..."

Conan's hands and feet were struggling as hard as they could, but they were still not enough in the face of the strength of an adult.

The square-jawed man grabbed Conan and glanced at his accomplices behind him, shouting, "Hey! Hurry up and help me deal with these little ghosts!"

The thin-faced man behind him also regained consciousness and slowly got up from the ground.

Conan's pupils trembled, and he remembered that he had kicked the thin-faced man on the back at the bottom of the stairs using the reflection of the wall, so the force was not as great as before.

Soon, Conan was also tied up.

After tying up Conan, the square-chinned man and the thin-faced man went to figure out why the fat-faced man couldn't be woken up no matter how hard they called him.

Conan stared at the two of them with a stern expression. Even if he couldn't save the three little ones, the delay time was enough.

Haibara Ai has already called the police.

All we have to do now is wait for the police to arrive...

Just then, other people's voices were heard again in the warehouse.

"Excuse me...Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"

“Is there anyone there?”

It was a female voice, and somewhat familiar.

Conan's face was shocked, and he immediately thought that the hesitant voice belonged to Wakasa Rumi.

Why did she come back?

At this time, the square-chinned man and the thin-faced man who were standing at the bottom of the stairs looked up, also a little confused. Why did people come one after another today?

However, when they heard that the other party was a woman, they decided not to hold back and just tie her up together.

They looked at each other, a ferocious smile appeared on their faces, and they walked up the stairs one after another.

Conan and the three little ones looked up the stairs nervously, wanting to speak out to warn Wakasa Rumi there, but their mouths were blocked and they couldn't make any sound.

The next second, Wakasa Rumi's surprised voice was heard from above.

“W-Who are you?!”

"What are you doing?"

"what--!"

"Don't come over here!"

"Don't! Don't!"

"..."

The screaming lasted for a minute before the noisy warehouse above gradually calmed down, leaving only the sound of a person's footsteps approaching.

When the footsteps reached the stairs, Wakasa Rumi poked her head into the basement.
