Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

However, after riding the underwater train, the middle-aged man left obvious marks on the questionnaires filled out by tourists, indicating that he had written with his left hand.

This also fits the characteristic that the backpack owner is left-handed.

The situation seemed to have reached a stalemate, as all four individuals were suspected.

However, after Yuan Tai's sudden inspiration, he pointed out that the middle-aged man had grabbed his clothes with his left hand. After careful consideration, the group temporarily focused their suspicions on the middle-aged man.

Miwako Sato once again revealed her identity as a detective and asked the staff at the service center to call the older man over.

.

"Mr. Gao Chengdeng, Mr. Gao Chengdeng, please come to the entrance of the 50,000 Leagues Under the Sea train immediately, please come immediately..."

The female announcer's voice echoed throughout the Dorobiga Sea Park.

Shiratori Ninzaburo, who had already gotten out of the command vehicle, looked up in the direction of the loudspeaker: "Miwako and the others have already started their operation. We need to hurry too. Let's split up."

The two detectives beside him immediately nodded: "Okay, contact us as soon as you have any news."

The three ran off in different directions, searching for suspicious individuals carrying single-shoulder backpacks.

At the entrance of the "50,000 Leagues Under the Sea" sea train, Wen Shui and his group dispersed and stood at different angles, patiently waiting for the arrival of the uncle named Gao Chengdeng.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over with a puzzled look on his face.

Miwako Sato immediately went over, pulled the other person to a secluded corner, showed her police ID, and wanted to check the other person's backpack.

However, when Gao Chengdeng took out a backpack, everyone noticed that the style was obviously different from the one that Sato Miwako was wearing.

Even the most careless waiter would never make a mistake.

What surprised everyone even more was that the little boy in the photo, who was about the same age as Conan, was actually Takagi Tomo's son.

Previously, it was only because Gao Chengdeng was scared and didn't want to play such dangerous amusement park rides that the father and son had quarreled, so they had been pretending to be strangers.

After the explanation was made, Gao Chengdeng said with dissatisfaction, "Honestly, you called me all the way here, and now I have to queue up again when I get back."

Sato Miwako said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, but please keep this a secret."

"Okay, I know, hmph."

Gao Chengdeng led his son and turned to leave.

Genta Kojima sighed, "I guessed wrong. It seems I was overthinking things."

Miwako comforted her, "It's alright. We've already ruled out one suspect, so we just need to investigate the remaining three people in the same way."

“But during the inspection just now, the remaining three people didn’t fill out the questionnaire, and then there are the three college students from another group who didn’t appear in the photos.” Ai Haibara looked at the photos on her phone, her brows furrowing slightly.

Conan pushed up his glasses:

"That's right, the criminals probably didn't fill out the questionnaire because they were worried about leaving their identification information."

“Is that so?” Miwako frowned. “Then we can only try to find those college students first. I remember they were behind those three men when we were queuing. Maybe they can find out some useful information.”

Sato Miwako's suggestion was immediately approved by everyone.

“But where can we find those three college students? Should we use the loudspeaker to call them over?” Ayumi said.

Wen Shui's eyes suddenly lit up: "Perhaps we don't need to go through so much trouble. We can find the suspect using other methods."

"What do you mean? You've figured out the identity of the criminal?" Miwako's face lit up with joy.

Conan immediately tensed up because he had not yet identified the culprit.

"Take the handkerchief out of your bag and let me see it," Wen Shui said.

Sato Miwako immediately opened her backpack. Inside, besides the packet of anesthetic and a sports towel, there was a dark blue handkerchief that was dirty and smelled bad.

Sato Miwako took out a handkerchief, smelled it herself first, and then handed it to the warm water.

Wen Shui sniffed: "Stay a little further away from me."

"What's wrong?" Miwako asked, puzzled.

"You smell too good... uh, your perfume is interfering with my sense of smell." Noticing Ai Haibara's sharp gaze, Wen Shui changed to a more official way of putting it.

Wen Shui then explained the source of the pungent smell on the handkerchief: it was the smell of baseball glove oil.

Typical baseball players would choose to protect their dominant pitching hand by deliberately wearing their backpack on their left shoulder.

In other words, based on the wear and tear on the handkerchief and backpack, it can be confirmed that the henchman who traded the narcotics was the baseball player.

However, since there was only one photo, and they were worried that making a big fuss would alert the other party and cause them to cancel the deal, they could only investigate quietly.

So they worked until sunset, but Sato Miwako and her team still couldn't find the baseball player.

Similarly, Shiratori also made no progress.

.

At 18:00 PM, in the "Nostalgic Game Hall" of the amusement park.

The left-behind teenage detectives were at a loss, watching the people coming and going in the arcade.

Miwako Sato and Atsushi went off to investigate separately, and Conan had somehow slipped away. The rest of them, led by Ai Haibara, were left in the relatively safe arcade.

But perhaps it's just a mystery in the world of Detective Conan.

These kids may have weak reasoning skills, but they have incredibly good luck.

While Genta and Mitsuhiko were in the restroom, they happened to see the baseball player they were looking for. He seemed unaware that his backpack had been switched and even greeted them.

Yuan Tai originally wanted to rush over and grab the thug.

However, Ai Haibara dissuaded her, saying that they shouldn't alert the other thugs, otherwise they would escape, and if they couldn't capture them all, it might implicate Officer Sato.

Soon, Wen Shui and the others, who had heard the news, arrived at the nostalgic game arcade.

Peek through the gap in the game console at the man playing a baseball game.

“Yes, that’s the person.” Miwako said with certainty.

Genta: "When can we arrest him, Officer Sato?"

Miwako Sato: "Don't worry, when he contacts the seller, I can catch him red-handed and arrest him and his rival."

They monitored them like that for over an hour.

The baseball player suddenly glanced at the time, stood up, and left, walking into the dolphin show venue not far from there.

.

There were far more people in the dolphin show than I had imagined; at first glance, it looked like a concert by a popular idol.

Two adorable dolphin puppets stood beside the host in the center of the stage.

The hostess announced the evening's program in a sweet voice, with the most anticipated performance being the fireworks and dolphin show.

The baseball player had already taken advantage of the chaos to arrive at the agreed location.

Soon, a fat man wearing a hat sat down next to him.

.

"It's Yagura Machi." The detective who was tracking and protecting Sato Miwako suddenly exclaimed.

He then quickly passed the message on to his other colleagues.

Officer Shiratori said into the communication device, "Don't make any rash moves yet, there are too many people there. I'll take some people over there right away."

“Okay, I’ll guard the exit,” the detective said.

However, before Shiratori and the others arrived at the scene, the dolphin fireworks show had already begun.

The scene immediately descended into chaos, and Yagura Maki took the opportunity to begin a drug deal with the baseball player.

Sato Miwako couldn't contain herself and rushed over, wanting to catch him red-handed, but she didn't expect Yagura Maki to be so cunning, carrying a pistol.

Even when they couldn't defeat Miwako Sato, the other side turned their guns on innocent people.

Miwako Sato had no choice but to protect innocent people. Although the baseball player was subdued by the Detective Boys, Maki Yagura managed to escape in the end.

Miwako twisted her ankle a little during the fight, but she still tried her best to catch up.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her shoulders: "Leave it to me, I'll bring that guy back."

Miwako looked up at Wen Shui and shook her head: "No, he has a gun."

"It's okay, just lend me your good luck."

"good luck?"

Wen Shui smiled, then placed his hand near Sato Miwako's lips, touched them lightly, and then touched his own lips.

While Miwako was still in a daze, Onami had already flipped over the railing and chased after her.

After helping to subdue the baseball player, Sato Miwako was still a little worried and, dragging her injured left leg, chased after him.

From afar, she saw a large crowd gathered below the Ferris wheel.

Miwako felt a vague sense of unease rising within her.

In her world, Ferris wheels were already considered an ominous sign.

"Warm water, please don't let anything happen to you." Miwako's voice trembled slightly as she ran over, enduring the pain.

When she reached the shore below the Ferris wheel, she found Shiratori and the other members of the Metropolitan Police Department gathered there, looking tense.

In the center of the crowd, Yagura Makichi held Sato Miwako's mother hostage with a gun and was in a standoff with the police.

Sato Miwako was struck dumb. Her face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground, trembling. Memories of her father's death kept replaying in her mind, leaving her powerless.

Just when Sato Miwako was in despair.

She suddenly noticed that warm water was rising from the river behind Yagura Maki. She went over, grabbed a stick from behind, and hit Yagura Maki with it, thus rescuing Mrs. Sato.

Several detectives immediately rushed over and pinned Yagura Maki down.

Sato Miwako, with a strength she didn't know she possessed, rushed over and pulled the warm water aside.

"You bastard, how dare you just borrow someone else's luck like that?" Miwako couldn't help but roar.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "I was feeling uncertain, but you're really lucky. I just happened to run into a crocodile boat carrying tourists. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have had enough time to get here and wait for them."

Sato Miwako bit her lip and said in a tearful voice, "Idiot, promise me you won't do anything so dangerous again."

"I'll try my best." Wen Shui tucked her wet hair behind her ears.
