Natsuno Sosuke looked at the 3:15 on his watch and was greatly impressed by this vague clue.

If it was an important clue, wouldn't it mean that we would have to close the case at lightning speed, take them back to the Metropolitan Police Department to complete the statement taking... and sit back in that office chair? !

Absolutely don't do this!

However, the speed of closing the case was not something he could decide. If Conan rushed ahead, he would have to return home within half an hour.

Natsuno Sosuke looked at Conan warily, but found that Conan was standing obediently and inconspicuously in the middle of the Junior Detective Team. Conan, whose dancing usually attracted everyone's attention, seemed to have perfectly blended into this group of elementary school students.

Maybe there is no clear clue yet, so he didn't put his full effort into it. Isn't it a good thing for him now that he is not proactive?

Natsuno Sosuke found an excuse for Conan, and together with Ayumi and the others, he looked again at the place where she fell, and guessed the meaning of the pattern.

However, Natsuno Sosuke had actually already made some guesses.

Because of the trouble Judy and Vermouth had made, the barely usable white sedan that he had picked out from the scrap yard after going through countless hardships and dangers was now completely unusable. Judy had already contacted him and wanted to compensate him with a new car.

Although he was busy with work, he still used his well-deserved rest time during lunch break to browse the new cars with high praise rates on the car network.

The first thing he thought of when he saw the mark drawn by Ayumi was the car keys.

No matter how much time is wasted, the case still needs to be handled properly. He picked up his mobile phone and searched for the relevant logo on the car website that he had browsed at noon.

Conan calmly followed the children's movements and walked behind Officer Natsuno, glancing at Natsuno Sosuke's cell phone.

Car website?

The keys to the car!

In order to promote the brand, the car brand logo is often engraved on the car key.

A murderer kills randomly, so it is impossible for him to bring anything that could expose himself, such as a wallet or a driver's license. A normal person with a little bit of intelligence would not bring such things with him when committing a crime.

But there is one thing you must carry with you, and that is your keys!

After a moment of excitement, Conan suddenly woke up.

It had only been a short time since Officer Natsuno arrived at the scene and saw the mark drawn by Ayumi, but he had already thought of the solution of car keys. However, I only figured it out after looking at Officer Natsuno's cell phone.

If Officer Natsuno were faced with the situation last night...what kind of plan would he make?

It will definitely be more meticulous and more appropriate... no one will get hurt, right?

Conan became depressed again.

Chapter 378: The Calm and Confused Officer Xia Ye

If Natsuno Sosuke heard Conan's question, he would definitely teach him without hesitation: Call everyone you can, and let's all work together!

Hey, all the problems come from insufficient firepower. Otherwise, Vermouth would have to send away the FBI that Judy called first. If that group of FBI stayed there, Vermouth would be killed by one shot from each of them.

Judy did the best in not abiding by the code of conduct.

It wasn't that there was a problem with Judy's arrangement, but that there was a big problem with other FBI members, or in other words, the entire mission structure.

How could it be that Judy just stretched out her hand and called everyone to go home and find their own mothers? At least they should send a text message to Judy or James to confirm again and again, right?

After searching for a few minutes, Natsuno Sosuke quickly found the logo. It was a very popular brand, a sub-brand of Mazda, εfini.

I was sending a text message to the command center, asking them to put their facilities on special alert and stop all the εfini nearby and take them down for inspection, when I suddenly heard Ayumi scream.

"Ah—it's the murderer!"

The boys from the Junior Detective Team immediately came to her side and protected her. "Where is it?"

Although Ayumi was afraid, she still pointed firmly at the man in a white raincoat and a dark gray baseball cap among the crowd watching the police investigating the case, "Over there!"

The direction that Ayumi was pointing was not clear, as there were too many people in the crowd, but Natsuno Sosuke noticed at a glance the only guy who turned around and ran away.

After committing the crime, you went back to the scene to check the situation, right?

Natsuno Sosuke rushed towards the criminal as fast as an arrow shot from a bow.

Although it is a setting that is easily overlooked under normal circumstances...but as a detective, the criminal is right in front of him, and he cannot neglect his duty and let him go just to avoid that little bit of work.

Even a little bit of work won’t do!

Damn my sense of responsibility!

The murderer didn't expect the policeman to run so fast. He immediately squeezed into the place where there were more people. The common white raincoat was soon submerged in the long crowd. Natsuno Sosuke chased to the place where he disappeared and looked around. At a glance, he saw six or seven men and women in pure white raincoats.

The criminal's characteristic is nothing more than white rain

He was only wearing a dark grey baseball cap, and the crowd blocked his view, so no one could see the style of his pants and shoes. As long as he disappeared from Natsuno Sosuke's sight, he could take off his baseball cap and throw it away, and naturally blend into the crowd.

Raincoat Fanze walked past the policeman without looking at him, holding his breath desperately to prevent the policeman from noticing any signs of his intense exercise. After escaping the policeman's sight, he smiled triumphantly and ran towards where he had parked his car.

——Then he was stopped by police officers who were on special alert.

Conan followed Officer Natsuno, who was emitting black energy, to the parking lot where the owners of three εfini cars that were stopped by special inspection were temporarily parked.

There are three criminals, and it is obvious that this is a three-choice case that Conan should have experienced. Natsuno Sosuke turned his head to look at Conan, who was accompanying Ayumi in the car and was about to identify the criminals, to see if he had found anything, but found that Conan was staring at him without blinking.

Why are you looking at me?

Natsuno Sosuke couldn't see any clues from Conan, so he could only look back at the three suspects... Huh?

The trainee police officer who brought the three of them stood aside and said, "There were only these three people driving εfini around here. I brought them all here."

Natsuno Sosuke looked at the three people's faces, who were either afraid or impatient because of being involved in the case, and immediately saw the timid auto mechanic.

This person looks so familiar.

He took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and started chewing it. According to the usual procedure of handling cases, he asked the three people about the reasons for coming to this area and their alibis.

Conan watched the black air behind Natsuno Sosuke disappear and his expression relaxed.

What did he find?

Was there some missing clue that he hadn't discovered?

"That means there is no alibi."

Natsuno Sosuke concluded: "One was stopped because he had a quarrel with his parents last night and didn't have a part-time job today, and wanted to go to the mountains to relax because he was upset; one drove around the commercial street after repairing the car to make sure the car was repaired; one went to open the lock for a customer and ran around to find the customer's home, but was stood up in the end... Is that right?"

"Did you get off the bus and go anywhere? Oh, don't lie, okay? We will investigate carefully."

After arguing with my parents, I went to a convenience store to buy some snacks because I wanted to go to the mountain to enjoy the scenery and relax. The snacks and convenience store receipt were in the car.

As for the other two people, one just came out to test drive the car, and the other was fooled by his client and drove around in circles. It had been raining outside, so of course he didn't get out of the car.

Hearing this, Xia Ye Cangjie knew what was going on. He pointed at the car of the three people and said, "Can I go in and take a look at the items in your car?"

Of course the three agreed.

Natsuno Sosuke went around in each of the three cars and came back. Conan found that after Natsuno Sosuke came back, his mouth, which had been chewing gum, suddenly stopped moving.

He looked at his watch. After all the trouble of looking for the owner of the εfini and listening to the three people talk about their professions and certifications, it was already half past five.

The case can be closed now. After all, I handled this case myself, and I have to finish writing the record before leaving get off work. If I delay any further, I will have to work overtime.

"Mr. Repairman, come with me to the police station."

The mechanic who had been so obedient and honest all along widened his eyes. "Wait, why me? I just came out to test the car, why are you treating me like a criminal?!"

"Yeah, so why did you dare to walk past me with your face exposed without your cap? Why do you think a criminal police officer is face-blind?"

I'm not a genius like Kazami who takes three months to recognize all the classmates.

Xia Ye Cangjie looked expressionlessly at the mechanic whose forehead was covered with sweat, "Didn't you say you never got out of the car?"

The mechanic still wanted to struggle, "I, I was driving around and suddenly felt thirsty, so I went to the convenience store to buy a bottle of drink, threw the receipt away, and drank the drink. I was afraid you would suspect me because I had no evidence, so I said I didn't get off the bus!"

"And your raincoat?"

Hearing him follow the trap he set and go to the direction where he had never gotten out of the car to explain, Xia Ye Cangjie suddenly laughed, "Where is the white raincoat you were wearing? You just threw it away after use, are you so generous?"

"break--"

Xia Ye Cangjie was not in a hurry, "If it was broken, which trash can would it be thrown into? I don't mind rummaging through the trash, but I'm worried that you would mind me spraying luminol reagent for detecting blood stains on the raincoat~"

The mechanic argued wildly while quietly moving towards the car, and took advantage of the young police officer's momentary carelessness to rush into the car!

Conan looked at Officer Natsuno anxiously, but he was in no hurry to chase him. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, as if everything was under control.

Chapter 379: Truly Useful Advice

The man in the raincoat crashed into his car. He knew how fast this policeman could run! If there weren't so many people blocking him, he would have been caught on the spot.

He took out the key and quickly inserted it into the keyhole, wanting to start the car, lock all the doors and windows, and then escape, but the key wouldn't go in.

“Damn it…what’s going on!”

Xia Ye Cangjie walked over slowly, and opened the car door under the prisoner's resisting gaze: "That's great, since you are indeed the prisoner, then I don't have to pay for the lock, right?"

"

You blocked the keyhole with chewing gum!"

Raincoat Fanze was also a smart man. He reacted quickly and collapsed. "Damn it! I clearly changed the car door locks that were stained with blood... There were so many people wearing white raincoats, why did you remember me?"

"Who would remember you?"

Xia Ye Cangjie tapped his head, "Of course it's all, all! Remember the faces of all the people wearing white raincoats nearby. This is a must-do for every detective, right?"

He took out handcuffs and without further explanation, handcuffed the distraught Yu Yi Fan Ze and locked him on the passenger seat of Shiratori's car. After asking the two innocent passers-by to drive to the police station to give their statements, he drove to the Metropolitan Police Department with the young witness in the back seat.

This was the first time that Conan didn't interfere and didn't focus all his attention on his own reasoning. Instead, he watched the reasoning process of others carefully. "Officer Natsuno, you are really amazing."

Natsuno Sosuke was almost scared to brake after hearing this out of the blue. "Huh? Why do you say that?"

"I immediately realized that Ayumi had pressed the car logo on the key, so I decisively asked someone to stop the car. When I chased the criminal, I didn't catch up with him, but I didn't get discouraged. Instead, I wrote down all the suspicious people around."

Conan exhaled, "After you have the deduction, you cut off the criminal's escape route without making any noise. The criminal's every move seems to be under your control."

Natsuno Sosuke looked at Conan's expression, which made him look like a fake Death God, and immediately became alert.

[Newbie in Lesson 06 []: Knock, I said that letting Sherry die in front of him was too shocking, and it really made the child depressed and lacking in confidence!

Rich Heiress [18]: Huh? Didn’t he see Ai when he was in school?

Public Security Secret [03]: Yes, I saw him. When I took Ai away, Conan waved and said goodbye... He just looked at me with resentment. I was thinking about explaining it to him in the evening - I didn't see any depression in him?

Lesson 06 []: Conan's expression.jpg

Cun Bao Xiuhua[17]: Wow, the squad leader also bought a camera, Brother Fu!

Triple Agent[01]: But there is something wrong with Conan's expression.

Poirot [02]: It seems like he has left some psychological trauma behind. What does the script writer for the growth storyline say? @14

Illustrator [14]: Didn't we say there was going to be a growth storyline? Kudo Shinichi enjoyed using the sharp teeth of evidence to ruthlessly tear at the criminal. The Moonlight Sonata case made Conan do his best to avoid forcing the criminal to death through his own reasoning, which was tantamount to murder. The incidents with the Beika Restaurant and Itakura Taku Software made Conan less reckless... We did all of this work.

Illustration Master [14]: Although Conan has witnessed too many deaths, his impulsiveness and recklessness have not changed much.

Illustration Master [14]: And now, just one incident like this, just one death for his friends because of his recklessness and carelessness, can directly make him grow beyond the three cases - although it may be a bit extreme... but who voted for this motion that was passed unanimously? (stare)

Illustration Master [14]: At worst...

Illustration Master [14]: Red Bean Paste Private Marseille (Bow)

Manager Poirot[02]: Poof!

Triple Agent [01]: Then I'd like to ask our class leader to give Conan some encouragement!

Popular Doctor [15]: Don't call the position of class monitor so ambiguous, Mayuka. How can we continue to call her class monitor in the future...

Triple Agent [01]: Huh? Really?

Active idol [07]: Yes, a lot...】

Natsuno Sosuke coughed and left his girlfriend alone in the group to be besieged by her roommates.

“It’s not that every move is under my control, but I think of all the possibilities in advance.”

He asked Conan, "This time we are facing a murderer who kills people indiscriminately on the street. What would happen if I took away their keys without leaving any room for them to escape, instead of leaving room for them to think they have a chance to escape and run to the car at the first time?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, his expression became serious, "Resistance, and... taking hostages."

"That's right, Conan is so smart!"

Xia Ye Cangjie looked noble and upright on the surface, but in fact he was very happy and looked at Conan with a half-moon eye, "There are children here, if you catch any of them, I will have no choice but to surrender."

"There were two middle-aged men around him. Seeing that he only had the guts to kill women, he wouldn't have done any harm to them. If he hadn't run to the car but had just fled, there would have been police officers guarding the entrance and exit of the parking lot."

He smiled and said, "Instead of letting the prisoners walk along the path I planned, I block off a few paths that I will never allow them to cross and protect them behind me. No matter how the prisoners walk... they will only end up in the cages that have been prepared for them."

Super! I said this in a very cool way!
