Stay away from Conan.

"What? A toy gun?"

So, after hearing Officer Megure say it was a "toy gun", Gao Yuan, who was present, frowned.

  Toy gun?

If I had known it was a toy gun, there was no way I would have let the robber drive away from the hospital!

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan felt a little guilty. He didn't expect that he would be fooled by a toy gun. Then he couldn't help but glance at Akai Shuichi and Judy. If it was them at that time, maybe they could see the clue of the pistol...

However, there is no if. Now that things have come to this point, Gao Yuan can only see if he can catch the robber as soon as possible.

"But since you were tracking the robber until he abandoned the car, the robber should still be around with the box!"

As for the current situation, Inspector Megure is looking forward to the police officers who are searching the surrounding area to bring good news -

After all, with a box of cash, it shouldn't be difficult to find...

However, compared to this, Inspector Megure felt something strange -

"Um, Teacher Judy? Why are you in..."

Inspector Megure knew Teacher Judy before. Because of a previous incident, he knew that she was Xiaolan's English teacher at her school and a foreign teacher in Japan. So he couldn't help but feel strange that Teacher Judy was also in the car of this man named Akai Shuichi.

  In response to this question, Teacher Judy answered with a smile in her foreign-accented Japanese:

"Oh, Officer Megure, long time no see. Actually, I just happened to meet this kind person who was willing to give me a ride back home, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this. It's really... an eye-opener for me!"

  Listening to Teacher Judy speaking in her strangely pronounced Japanese and her seemingly smiling good attitude, Officer Megure had nothing to say. After listening to her explanation, he asked about what she had seen and heard at the time and wanted to compare it with Akai Shuichi, but Judy just smiled and apologized:

"Oh! Sorry! The experience just now was too exciting! I just felt that the car was driving so fast and exciting, and I didn't pay attention to anything else!"

Inspector Megure felt helpless after hearing this, and he did not expect to get any information from Judy, so he just waited for the police officers who went to search nearby to come back and see if there was any good news.

  As a result, after a while, a police officer came over with three men and reported to Officer Megure:

"Inspector, I have something to report. I brought someone here who was acting suspiciously around here!"

As he said this, the police officer explained to Inspector Megure the three men in their thirties that were brought here by his team of police officers.

One of them was a burly man with a beard named Hiroshi Yamamoto. He was carrying a bunch of mountaineering equipment and seemed to be going mountain climbing.

The second man wearing glasses was named Makoto Baba, and he was carrying a bag of golf clubs.

The third person is a man named Akiyama Ryu with a turban on his head and a ski board in his hand.

"According to the staff at the subway station, the three of them were the ones who were about to enter the subway station after the criminal abandoned the car."

So, after the police officer explained the identities of several people, he pointed out the suspicious points about the three of them.

  However, after learning that they were suspected of being criminals by the police, and only because they happened to enter the subway station at that time, the three of them could not help but express their anger:

"Hey! Isn't this a normal thing?"

"I just happened to be taking the subway. What's the problem?"

"Do you treat us as criminals just because of this?"

The three of them expressed their dissatisfaction one after another.

Faced with such a situation, Officer Megure was not anxious, but acted serious and asked the police officer: "Are there any other doubts?"

"some."

  The police officer replied:

"According to the witnesses at the hospital, the criminal was wearing gloves, right? And no gloves were found in the car that the criminal abandoned, but the three of them all had gloves in their belongings, so..."

"Well, that's fine. Go notify the witnesses and ask them to come over and identify the gloves!"

Hearing this, Inspector Megure didn't waste any words and just said this.

However, Gao Yuan felt that there was no need to go through so much trouble for this, because he was also at the scene and saw the gloves worn by the robbers. Although he did not look very carefully, judging from the color, they were a pair of pure black gloves. Therefore, he decided to check the gloves of the three people first.

In response, Officer Megure naturally agreed and asked the police to check the three people's belongings, especially their gloves.

But without exception, none of the gloves among the three people's belongings were pure black.

Makoto Baba, who was carrying a golf club, was wearing a pair of light-colored golf gloves; Ryu Akiyama, who was holding a ski board, was wearing beige ski gloves; as for Hiroshi Yamamoto, he was wearing the very common industrial labor protection gloves.

In short, there are no black gloves at all.

In this way, Inspector Megure's investigation came to a standstill for a while. He thought that he could find the criminal by identifying the gloves, but now it is all in vain.

Moreover, the most crucial cash that was stolen by the robbers was not found on the three people, so it is impossible to determine who the real robber is. Maybe the robber is not among the three of them.

In this situation, Inspector Megure was at a loss for a moment, and he couldn't help but look at Gao Yuan, wanting to see if Gao Yuan had any ideas.

So, after thinking about it, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel curious about what these three people were carrying, and couldn't help but ask why they each carried these things.

At the same time, after seeing the gloves of the three people, Shuichi Akai's face immediately showed a hint of understanding, but he did not take the initiative to say anything more. His expression returned to normal, and he just stayed here normally, as a passerby who kindly participated in the pursuit -

"Hey, Xiu. What did you think of?"

However, when seeing the expression that flashed across Shuichi Akai's face just now, Judy saw what Shuichi Akai was thinking, and realized that he seemed to have understood something, so she came to Shuichi Akai and asked in a low voice.

In response, Akai Shuichi had a calm expression and replied in a low voice:

"If we only look at the gloves to identify the criminal, then among these three people, there is actually only one candidate for the criminal! However..."

Having said that, Akai Shuichi did not continue speaking——

The key to the problem is the stolen cash. If we can’t find it, gloves alone are not enough…

So, seeing that the police had just checked the luggage of the three people and found that there was no cash in it, Akai Shuichi was a little concerned about Gao Yuan's questioning of why the three people were carrying those things with them.

After all, the key to hiding the cash might be in that thing... (End of this chapter)
