Monday, March 5, Didan Elementary School, after school.

As soon as the bell rang, Yuanta rushed out of the classroom, and Conan and the four hurriedly packed up their things to catch up, only to find that Yuantai was gone.

"Wouldn't it, wouldn't it?, how could Motota run so fast?" Ayumi asked.

"He must have found a place to hide, wanting to wait for us to leave before coming out. Conan said.

"Then let's split up on him. Mitsuhiko said.

"No, he always has to go home. Gray Yuan smiled.

"Yes, we'll just wait for him on his way home. Conan laughed. ……

Ten minutes later, the intersection.

The four Conans, who were hiding around the corner, saw Yuan Tai running over and immediately appeared to intercept him, which surprised Yuan Tai, "Why are you here?"

Ayumi smiled: "Stupid Motota, of course we are waiting for you." ”

Mitsuhiko smiled: "You want to play hide and seek with us, but now we have caught it." ”

Conan asked, "Tell me, what the hell are you doing sneaking around?"

"Isn't it practicing ninjutsu?"

"So I don't eat at noon and want to go on a diet. Ayumi laughed.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Yuan Tai said with little confidence.

"I heard that you were shivering under the quilt," said Ashbara, "I think you dreamed that you were slashed a few times by a ninja who was covered in blood, and then you wanted to practice in real life to deal with him in your dreams." ”

Yuan Tai said in a panic: "That's not a dream, I really saw it." ”

"And what do you see?" asked Conan.

"It can't be a ninja, right?" asked Ashbara rhetorically.

"I," Motota looked around, "Okay, I'll tell you, it's a killer, and a killer will kill me soon." ”

"Huh?" Ayumi laughed, "No kidding, Genta." ”

"yes," Mitsuhiko laughed, "we're just elementary school students, how could there be a killer to kill us." ”

"I wouldn't have told you if I had known that. Yuan Tai said angrily.

Conan said: "Yuantai, if you make things clearer a little longer, we promise that we won't laugh at you again." ”

"Let's go, let's talk as we go. Gray Yuan said.

"First of all, last Friday, I was walking in the culvert under the railway track when I heard strange footsteps. ”

Ayumi asked angrily, "Please, what are you doing where you are running?"

"Just take a walk. Yuan Tai said.

"Yuantai, you continue. Conan said.

"Although it was dark in the culvert and I couldn't see clearly, as soon as I stopped, he stopped, and as soon as I started, he followed me. Yuan Tai asked, "Isn't that terrifying?"

Mitsuhiko said, "In my opinion, it must be the sound of your footsteps bouncing off the walls." ”

"It's not that simple," said the Empress Dowager Yuan, fearfully, "and then I was hit off the overpass, and I was almost hit by a motorcyclist who ran a red light while crossing the street." ”

Mitsuhiko smiled: "It must be a coincidence, don't be nervous." ”

"It's not a coincidence. Yuan Tai said fearfully, "If it was a coincidence, he wouldn't and wouldn't ......."

"Won't it happen?" asked Conan.

At this time, "Smack!" An object fell in front of the five people, and on closer inspection, it was a large bolt.

"Where did this thing come from?" Mitsuhiko wondered.

Gray Yuan and Conan noticed that the signboard on the roof of the department store on the side of the road was shaking, and immediately pulled away Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota, "Danger, get out of the way." ”

Before the words fell, the signboard fell and smashed into the place where the five Conan were standing just now.

"Whew, that's dangerous. Mitsuhiko said.

"Conan, Graybara-san, thank you. Ayumi said.

Yuan Tai said in fear: "Look, someone must have pushed it down." ”

Conan said, "The wiring of this sign has been cut with a knife, and the intention is to prevent the sign from being caught by the wire when it falls. ”

Gray Yuan said: "The target is obvious, it is us who passed by below just now. ”

Mitsuhiko asked in horror, "So someone really wants to kill Motota?"

"It's horrible. Ayumi said in a panic, "Let's call the police." ”

"No, you can't call the police. Yuan Tai said hurriedly.

At this time, the people from the department store came out, and a person rushed over to inspect the scene, and was relieved to find that no one was injured, and wiped a cold sweat and saluted the people nearby: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to have frightened you." After speaking, he took someone to clean up the scene and left.

"Is it okay not to tell them?" Gray Hara asked Conan.

Conan looked around and whispered, "That man is watching nearby, so in order to prevent him from doing anything crazy, don't act rashly for the time being." Then he said, "Yuantai, you haven't eaten much for lunch, you must be hungry, let's go to the burger downstairs of this department store to eat something first." ”……

Moments later, inside the burger shop.

Waiting for Yuantai to gobble down a large hamburger, Conan said, "Okay, Yuantai, now make things clear." ”

"What did you say?" Motota blinked.

"Don't talk when you have something in your mouth. ”

"Oh. Motota swallowed the contents of his mouth.

Conan said, "First of all, why didn't you say you couldn't call the police." ”

Mrs. Yuan said with some fear: "Because someone called me, he said that I dared to report to the police, and not only would they kill me, but also all my family and friends." ”

"Wouldn't it?" Ayumi was taken aback.

Mitsuhiko asked, "You just believed his words and hid under the covers in fear?"

Yuan Tai was a little annoyed, "I received this call at home, which means that he knows the address of my house, do you understand?"

"When?" Graybara asked, "Friday night?"

Yuan Tai said in fear: "Yes, that person's tone is gloomy, it's really terrifying." ”

Conan asked, "He won't let you go to the police, so you originally wanted to report something to the police?"

"Oh, it's the suspect in the serial robbers. Yuan Tai said.

Ayumi asked, "Is that the robber who carried a bag in the news?"

"It was him, and one day I saw a man dressed exactly like the one on the news, wearing a motorcyclist's outfit," Motota said. ”

"Could it be that he ran a red light and hit Genta?" Ayumi asked.

"It was already dark and I couldn't see clearly. Yuan Tai said.

"Motota, you just said one day?" asked Conan, "what day?"

Motota scratched his head, "I forgot." ”

"......" Conan was speechless.

"Anyway, I sat next to that person that day, kept looking at him, and then fell asleep when I looked at him. ”

"What?" Mitsuhiko asked, "Motota, how can you fall asleep?"

Gray Yuan asked, "Wait, Yuanta, did you see that person's face?"

"yes, I had short black hair, I looked ordinary, and I didn't look like a bad guy at all, so I didn't care about it at the time. "Then one day, it seemed like last Wednesday, I was watching the news on the TV in the roadside cupboard, and I thought he might be the robber." ”

Ayumi asked, "Where did you meet the robbers?"

Yuan Tai shook his head and said, "I don't remember." ”

"Please, Yuantai, you are sitting with a robber, and you don't know where you are?" asked Mitsuhiko helplessly.

Yuan Tai said, "I really forgot." ”

Conan said, "What's even more strange is why he let Motota keep watching him. ”

"Motota, you can't be dreaming, are you?" asked Ayumi.

Yuan Tai said, "How can it be a dream? I'm about to be killed." ”

Gray Yuan asked, "Yuantai, since you found out that you know the robbers, why didn't you go to the police?"

"Oh, I met a blonde brother who said he might have met a robber, but he was in trouble at the time, so we agreed to go to the police together on Saturday. Yuan Tai said.

Gray Yuan asked, "You gave him your phone number or home address?"

"No, we agreed to meet at the gate of the Rice Flower Police Station. Yuan Tai said, and then said with some loss, "But I didn't go." ”

Conan said, "Okay, Motota, think back to the details when you saw the robbers. ”

"Well," said Motota after a moment's thought, "he's just reading the newspaper all the time and smoking occasionally." And then he said, "By the way, he smokes with his left hand." That's all I remember. ”

"At least know that this person is left-handed. Mitsuhiko said.

"Left-handed?" Conan frowned for a moment, then laughed, "I see. ”

"Oh, it looks like our great detective has found the answer. Gray Yuan said.

"Yes, but there's a problem. Conan looked around at the people around him, and then said, "I have a plan to prevent him from jumping off the wall." He said and recounted the plan.

"Separate, is it okay?" asked Gray Hara.

"Of course, his target is Genta. Conan said.

"Although I would say that calling the police is the best thing to do. Gray Yuan smiled, "But it's okay to be idle, so I'll play with you." ”

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Conan frowned, "Then why do you always look like you're sleep deprived?"

"It's none of your business. Gray Yuan said, and then changed the subject, "Alright, let's do it." ”……

Out of the burger restaurant, Conan said loudly: "Okay, Yuantai, don't think nonsense, it was just an accident just now." ”

Gray Yuan said: "That's right, don't wander around the street if it's okay, go home early." ”

"yes, it's not early, let's go quickly. Mitsuhiko said. ……

After that, Conan and the five continued to walk home, and Yuantai, who was in a good mood, had a great appetite and bought all kinds of snacks to eat along the way.

Soon after, Conan, Gray Plain, and Mitsuhiko stepped on the fork in the road one after another, and Motota and Ayumi continued to staggering home.

About ten minutes later, in front of a French restaurant, Mrs. Motota stopped and swallowed, leaned on the window and said, "I really want to have a big meal." ”

"I'm going home soon, Yuantai, just bear with me. Ayumi dragged Motota away with all her might.

"Wait," said Motota, "I seem to have thought of something." ”

"What's that?" Ayumi asked.

"Red, white, blue," Motota asked, pointing to the French flag, "Ayumi, have you seen these three colors anywhere?"

"Well," Ayumi said after a moment's thought, "there are a lot of them, like Conan often wears clothes of this color, red bow tie, white shirt, and blue coat. ”

"Forget it, I can't remember what it is for a while. "But I don't know why, but I always feel like the three colors of red, white, and blue are always spinning in my head." ”

"I think you're fainting from hunger. Ayumi smiled, "You've eaten so many things along the way, and if you get fat like this, even pigs will laugh at you in the future." ”

"Long-winded!" said Yuan Tai angrily.

Not long after walking, Ayumi also stepped on the fork in the road, "I'm going home, remember not to go anywhere else, just go home." ”

"Got it. Yuan Tai said impatiently, and then muttered as he walked, "Ayumi, what a housekeeper, I always like to say that I am fat." As he spoke, he took a picture on the window pane of a roadside store, "I'm fat, I'm strong." Then he realized that it was a building, looked up and exclaimed, "I remember, this is this place, I remember it was on the seventh floor." With that, he ran into the building. ……
