Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

Winnet couldn't make up her mind. According to the Japanese practice, waiting on the spot was the basic approach.

"Conan is so cunning, he must have followed Officer Sato and the others to the scene of the incident!"

"Yes, he always does this, sneaking away alone."

"Okay! Then let's catch up!"

Ayumi and the others talked one after another, finalizing their next goal, and seemed to be ready to arrest Conan.

Just as they were about to step out of the room, Xiao Ai asked faintly, "Do you know where Mr. Masuo lives?"

The three people standing in a row almost fell like dominoes.

Xiao Ai flipped through Takagi's drawer and found a booklet inside. She flipped to the latest page, which recorded the contact information of Masuo's wife and the address of Masuo's family. "No. 16, Sanchome, Beido-cho."

She shook the book in her hand and spoke to the trio.

This behavior may have violated the law.

But elementary school students are cute enough, so slightly annoying mistakes can be forgiven.

As long as you don't disclose it, it's fine.

What surprised Winette was that Ai would take the initiative to get involved in the incident.

Genta and the others pulled Dr. Agasa and insisted on taking a car. Dr. Agasa couldn't persuade these three idiots, so he had to agree with some trouble.

As soon as they go out.

"Let's go too." Xiao Ai said.

"Strange," Winnet looked at her, "You actually took the initiative to get involved in such trouble."

Ai shrugged, saying that this development was quite interesting.

"If we keep waiting, we don't know how long we'll have to wait," she said. "Besides, the man is in love with the woman but she has no intention of doing so. Don't you think those two police officers are quite interesting? We can just kill time anyway, just treat it as a romantic comedy. The lady is 90% dead from the scream just now. It will probably take until the evening to solve the case. Since they can tolerate Edogawa, there's no reason to expel the other children - although I also think they are too lenient with the rules, but the more incompetent they are, the better it is for us, isn't it?"

Winette listened attentively.

However, she didn't think that Xiao Ai really thought so, she just gave a superficially acceptable explanation. "Do you think they are possible?" she asked. "Do strong women like that really need men?"

"Not everyone is like you," Xiao Ai patted Winnet's waist, "A swaddling cloth containing a demon was left at the door of the church by an angel."

"Ah, I don't like that." Winnet said, holding her hand. When Xiao Ai felt the warmth in her palm, she thought again and said, "Then the angel fell in love with the devil-and fell because of me. This is so stupid, but I did choose not gender, but a fallen angel."

Ai thinks that Winnet is somewhat similar to her mother and has been contaminated by the organization's influence.

"But how do you understand them both?" she asked.

"The stronger you appear, the softer you are inside," Xiao Ai said, "I know it all too well. At times like this, emotional support is necessary, although it doesn't necessarily have to be love."

This is a disguised way of saying that you get support from yourself! Winette was a little delighted and no longer cared about the two police officers.

"I'm going to hold on tight all the time," Winette said, "so it's okay to be a little soft."

"Silly girl," Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at her.

She had opened her heart to her enough, but for her to act like a little woman was absolutely impossible, the word attachment was not in her dictionary.

What a silly beauty, well, emotionally.

"Having said that, I think they are quite a good match."

She said intuitively.

Winnet finally understood why humans always gravitate toward love gossip and books on love themes. It was indeed a pleasure to watch other people's emotional progress. Perhaps one could see one's own shadow, or find the ideal side.

Dr. Agasa drove the car, Winette sat in the front seat, and Xiao Ai and the other three squeezed in the back seat, heading to Masuo's house. Before arriving, I saw the flash of the police car; at this time, self-media had not become a trend, so naturally there would be no crowd watching the excitement; the scene had been cordoned off, and police officers were guarding the door. With such a rigorous arrangement, even with a little finger, I knew it was another murder case.

"What should we do? We don't have Edogawa's 'connections'."

Judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the police officer would not let them in.

A few little kids tried to sneak in, but before they could get into the courtyard, they were caught by the police officers on duty and received a serious lecture.

Xiao Ai and Winnet looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their pupils; just then, another police car stopped at the door and a familiar figure got out.

"Hey, Miss Winnet, why are you here too?"

"Ah, it's Officer White Bird." Winnett remembered this somewhat showy officer.

Although the main impression of him is that he is a child of a wealthy family, with high aspirations and rich knowledge reserves.

"We were supposed to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a statement," she said, "but something happened suddenly, and Officer Takagi, who was originally in charge of the case, followed Officer Sato on a patrol. After they left, I realized that Conan was gone too. You should remember him, the kid next to Detective Mori. I thought he must have followed along, smelling the scent of a case, because he always calls himself a little detective."

Officer Shiratori expressed his understanding very gentlemanly, but did not let him go. Instead, he said he would bring Edogawa out.

"We heard what happened over the phone and maybe we can help." Xiao Ai said before he entered.

"In that case," Shiratori thought of Winnet and Dr. Agasa who had helped solve cases, "You can come with us, but you can't walk around the scene, and..." He looked at Ai specifically and said, "You have to manage your companions well!"

He seemed to be interested in Xiao Ai's appearance as a little adult, and he gave her a warning.

However, Shiratori let them in not to help solve the case, but because he wanted to prove his police strength - relying on his own strength. He had just been promoted to team leader, and now he needed a case to demonstrate his ability and show his courage - in front of someone.

He spoke to the guarding police officer and then led their group into the scene.

Judging from the source of the sound in the room, he ran directly to the study on the first floor. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Officer Sato's judgment -

"The criminals' purpose was most likely to steal property."

Shiratori confidently interrupted, "You are wrong. The criminals definitely did not come here to steal property."

"Because the criminals targeted this lady from the very beginning," he said.

I don't know who this sharp and confident attitude is for, but anyone who has their ideas directly denied will definitely not be happy.

Officer Sato frowned directly.

Winnett felt that the atmosphere at the scene was not right.

Internal competition?

However, the Junior Detective Team directly found Conan who was sneaking away and successfully became friends with him.

"Deputy Team Leader Shiratori... and Dr. Agasa, you guys..."

Takagi was surprised and troubled, but with the precedent of Conan, he didn't have too much emotional fluctuation.

"I am no longer the deputy team leader," he said, "because from today on, I have been promoted to team leader... By the way, this case is now under my full command."

How embarrassing!

Winette noticed that Ai had turned her face away and was looking at the corpse.

"That's great. Working in an office means you can get promoted faster." Officer Sato said as he came to Shiratori's side and pointed at himself. "If you don't mind, can you include me in your list of bride candidates?"

"Okay, I'd love to!"

Takagi's expression suddenly changed. He maintained a worried expression for a moment, and then began to shake his head frequently, showing that he was in a mixed mood.

However, only women understand women.

Winette naturally knew that Officer Sato was completely joking, and even had a teasing and sarcastic tone as a small response to his arrogance just now.

"It feels a bit like the 11 o'clock slot."

Xiao Ai complained.

Winnet was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

In Japan, melodramatic romance dramas are usually broadcast on late-night TV after 11 o'clock!

……

413 White Bird's Reasoning

"By the way, what's the basis for saying that the criminals weren't after money?"

"The key lies in the screams of the victim you heard on the phone." Shiratori analyzed, "A thief who steals property generally won't deliberately attack the person who's talking on the phone. If the owner sees his face and screams, he'll just be scared and run away." He looked at Takagi: "Besides, wasn't this victim supposed to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement today?"

"Yes, she said that she remembered some details about the previous bank robbery, so she planned to go to the police station with her husband. However, she did not show up at the agreed time, and her husband was worried, so he called back."

Upon hearing this, Shiratori glanced at Masuo, who nodded in affirmation.

He continued to ask:

"Did the victim know that the person she was talking to was a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"She should know," Takagi replied, "because when I answered the phone, she asked if it was the police from yesterday."

"That's for sure!" Shiratori concluded, "The criminals killed the victim while she was on the phone because they didn't want her to continue talking to the police."

White Bird's words are thought-provoking.

It makes people subconsciously think that the victim had somehow mastered the characteristics of the bank robber and wanted to inform on him but was silenced.

"In that case..." Sato looked at Shiratori.

"Yes... In my opinion, the criminals are probably the two robbers." He said, "During the accident, the victim was held at gunpoint by the criminals, and was very close to one of the robbers. The criminals probably thought that she saw his appearance, so they planned to kill the victim and silence her. Moreover, it is said that when the victim was taken hostage, she resisted fiercely and grabbed the woolen hat of one of the robbers, right?"

Takagi replied:

"Well, the criminal saw that he couldn't subdue her, so he turned to capture Mrs. Megure who happened to be at the bank as his second hostage. However, to be more precise, it should be that Officer Megure's wife volunteered to be a hostage."

What a brave lady.

Winnett tried to imagine, and extending the image of Inspector Megure, the image that came to her mind was also a chubby, carefree lady who was also enthusiastic and brave.

After all, looking at Megure's appearance, he seems like a henpecked husband, and if she is not heavy enough, she may not be able to suppress him.

However, what she found strange was the action of Mrs. Masuo that angered the robbers. In that situation, it was unwise to resist the robbers. Bank robbers with a clear escape route would not take a burdensome hostage with them. Mrs. Megure must have taken the initiative to become a hostage because she was afraid that the robbers would get angry and kill Mrs. Masuo.

It always feels a little strange.

At this time, Masuo, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly spoke:

"Oh, by the way, I remember my wife said something yesterday, about what foreigners are like..."

Shiratori hammered his left palm, then joyfully stretched out his right hand wearing a white glove and pointed at Masuo, "That's right, your wife must want to tell the police about the robber's characteristics for reference!" He turned to look at Takagi and ordered, "Brother Takagi, contact the special investigation headquarters immediately and tell them that one of the robbers is now set to be a foreigner."

"That's a bit hasty."

Xiao Ai crossed her arms and looked at the direction of the bicycle. As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Mu, who was running towards the door, braked suddenly and turned back immediately, and Shiratori showed a puzzled expression.

With a helpless expression on her face, she analyzed for Shiratori:

"Banks have tight security, so robbers usually work in groups. Since it is a criminal gang, the leader's criminal psychology must constrain the psychology of the gang members. Of course, even a child can guess the motive. If it is not for money, there is no need to rob a bank; however, in such a risky act, isn't it strange that there are foreigners who are difficult to control in the team?"

"Besides, the stolen money cannot be put to use immediately. If you want to cash it out quickly, you need a channel with considerable power, and you need the assistance of Japanese people of high status. The possibility of overseas gangs is also greatly reduced. If the bank robbery is a large organization, 200 million yuan is too little. Obviously, it is not enough for too many people to share the loot."

"Another point is the location."

"Location?"

Ai's words aroused Sato's interest.

The others also stared at her, as if expecting her to say something shocking again.

Winnett was a little distressed. Her little Ai did have a strong aura. Once she didn't restrain herself, she would easily become the focus. Little Ai raised her eyes and signaled the police to look at the victim at the bottom.

"too close."

Winnett summed it up in one word.

"Yeah, that's very wrong."

Conan took over the conversation. He already felt suspicious, and with Ai's reminder, he didn't believe Mr. Masuo's words at all. He pointed a finger at the space behind the victim and said:

"Think about it, there is only about one meter of space behind the bicycle. Since there is no door at the back, how could this person be attacked from behind while riding a bicycle?"

There were only two bookshelves, one large and one small, behind the fitness bike. There was a window next to it, but it was locked and there were no signs of intrusion.

Before arriving at this room, Winette saw a small circle cut on the glass facing this room as she passed through the entrance. If the criminal had broken in from the window next to the entrance, he would have definitely been discovered by the owner of the house as he was reaching this room. Especially since Mrs. Masuo was still talking on the phone at the time of the incident, this distance was enough for her to issue a warning.

What's more, the victim was talking on the phone at the time.

"It's you again!" Shiratori took a deep breath.

Sato was surprised, "Do you know him?"

"Yes, I know him." Shiratori caught Conan and held him up with one hand, "This is the little detective who sticks to Mr. Maori all day long, and his companions..."

When Shiratori lowered his head, he immediately saw Yuanta and the others smiling at him.

Because of what Ai had just said, Shiratori temporarily stopped treating her as a troublesome person of the same kind.
