Monday, January 8th, afternoon, Didan Elementary School, 1st grade 2nd class.

During class, Conan asks Ashbara if she has ever attended the Mermaid Festival on Chishima, only to be sold to the teacher and named, causing her classmates to laugh.

After class, Conan asked angrily to Gray Plains, "Gray Plains, you don't have to do this, right?" ”

"It's punishment, you know?" asked Graybara.

"It can't be because I didn't bring you some dugong meat, right?" asked Conan helplessly.

"Speaking of which, that stuff is still very evocative. Gray Yuan said.

"Come on, you don't want to think about the price of that thing. Conan said, "Then again, you're pretty rich, too. ”

"That's not my money. Gray Yuan said.

Conan was taken aback, "It's not yours, is it the organization?"

"I checked that there was nothing special and got one. Gray Yuan said.

"Tell me, how many portions are there?" asked Conan excitedly.

Ashbara shrugged, "I'm not a chef, how do I know." ”

"Ah, how can this be. Conan was deflated.

Ayumi came over and asked, "What's wrong with you, Conan?"

Mitsuhiko said: "Really, how can you be so listless on the first day of school." ”

Yuan Tai said: "Yes, you must cheer up, our junior detective group still has a mission." ”

"Mission? Isn't it anyone's New Year's money?" Conan said weakly, "Don't look for it, I must not know how to spend it." ”

"No," Motota said, "Rentaro from the next class thinks his new chef doesn't, don't, uh......"

"Don't have a plan. Gray Yuan said.

Yuan Tai said: "Yes, yes, there is no other picture, so please let us investigate." ”

"Rentaro?" asked Conan, "the one who opened a restaurant?"

"That's him. Mitsuhiko said.

"Can his restaurant with poor taste, poor service, and poor environment afford to hire a new chef?" Conan said, touching his chin, "There is a problem with a chef who is willing to work in a restaurant that has no business." ”

"No, no," Ayumi said, "Rentaro's restaurant has now been renovated, and the new chef has designed new dishes that attract a lot of customers." ”

"Oh, isn't that a good thing?" Conan asked rhetorically.

"But the money for the renovation was paid for by the chef. Ayumi said.

Conan said, "It's nothing, and when the time comes, an extra cent will be in it." ”

"But the cook didn't want any money at all. Mitsuhiko said.

"Huh?" Conan was surprised.

Ayumi said, "So, there must be some ulterior secret in this. ”

"I smelled a smell of criminal activity. Yuan Tai said.

"You smell the food, don't you?" Conan asked angrily, "Hey, this time it's not going to be a meal, is it?"

"Not really. Yuan Tai laughed.

"That's fine. Conan said.

"It's two. Mitsuhiko laughed.

"......" Conan lay weakly on the table.

"Don't do that, Conan," Ayumi laughed, "we've already eaten it, and it's delicious." ”

"This is a good New Year's gift, enjoy it, Detective. Gray Yuan laughed gloatingly.

"Spare me. Conan said distressedly. ……

After school, Rentaro came over and took the Junior Detectives to his family's restaurant, the Eater Restaurant, and told Conan what had happened on the way. Ash originally wanted to sneak away, but was called by Conan and grabbed by Ayumi and pulled over.

About three months ago, a chef named Yuji Kamekura came to the restaurant and offered to repay Rentaro's deceased grandfather by helping him out of the house for free, and Rentaro's family agreed at his plea.

After more than a week, Yuji Kamekura saw that there was no business at the restaurant, so he paid to renovate the restaurant.

After the reopening of Satieshi, Yuji Kamekura led Rentaro's family to work hard to make the business of Satieshi Restaurant slowly improve.

It's just that since a week ago, Yuji Kamekura has been in a room all day, saying that he is thinking about new dishes and asking Rentaro's family not to disturb him, but Rentaro discovers that Yuji Kamekura has dust on his body.

"Dust?" asked Motota, "is it some kind of treasure being dug up?"

Mitsuhiko said: "There are so many treasures, they must be digging tunnels and trying to steal from nearby banks." ”

Ayumi said, "Ah, it's like a redhead. ”

Genta asked, "What is the redhead?"

Gray Yuan said: "One of the incidents handled by Holmes, a man infiltrated a store as a clerk, and after tricking the store manager out with clever words, he took the opportunity to dig a tunnel from the ground of the store in the direction of the bank, and finally stole the bank's money. ”

Yuan Tai exclaimed excitedly, "Ah, then as long as we solve this incident, we will be Sherlock Holmes." ”

"How is that possible?" Conan said with a headache.

At this time, the full restaurant arrived, and Rentaro left the boy detective group to go home to work, and Motota led the boy detective team to look for a bank nearby, but the bank was found, but they didn't answer their question about whether the bank could be robbed, but kicked them out.

"Really, don't listen to us at all. Yuan Tai complained.

Mitsuhiko said: "Yes, children can do great things. ”

Ayumi said, "It's like a Home Alone movie. ”

"Please, ask that kind of question, people just don't call the police because of the children's faces. Conan said helplessly.

Gray Yuan yawned, "I think it's better to hand it over to the police directly." As he spoke, he motioned for them to look at the side of the road ahead, where Officer Takagi was sitting in a car.

Yuan Tai said: "No, we have to solve this incident ourselves." ”

Mitsuhiko said, "By the way, we can get information from Officer Takagi. ”

Conan was speechless, and now it's a game again.

So, the Junior Detective Corps approached Officer Takagi and asked Officer Takagi why he was here alone, and it turned out that Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba had come together to investigate and inquire about the owner of a nearby jewelry store, and now Officer Chiba had gone to a newly famous restaurant called the Full-Eaten Restaurant to line up for takeout, and he was waiting for him here.

Motota asked, "What happened to the jewelry store?"

Mitsuhiko asked, "Was it stolen?"

"It was stolen, but not now. Officer Takagi laughed, "The jewelry store was burglarized seven years ago, and a batch of jewelry worth 300 million yen was lost. ”

Conan asked, "Did you catch it?"

Officer Takagi said, "No, no one has been caught finding the jewelry, and now the seven-year statute of limitations has expired, so let's pay a visit." ”

"I see. Mitsuhiko said.

Conan thought to himself, he couldn't think that person was a thief, right?

"What?" asked Officer Takagi.

"Nothing, nothing, then let's go first. Motota picked up Mitsuhiko and Conan and ran away.

"Wait for me, Genta. Ayumi pulled Gray Hara and followed.

"Be careful on the road. Officer Takagi shouted. ……

Moments later, in a nearby back alley.

Conan said, "Motota, I should tell the police about this. ”

"No, this is our incident, how can we hand it over to the police. Yuan Tai said, "We have to be like Sherlock Holmes and solve the incident beautifully." ”

Ayumi asked, "But, Motota, do you know how to investigate?"

"I've completely solved the puzzle. Mitsuhiko said proudly, "I think that Uncle Kamekura of Rentaro's family is the one who went to the jewelry store seven years ago and stole 300 million yen worth of jewelry. ”

"Really?" asked Motota.

"Of course. Mitsuhiko said proudly, "Here's the thing, after the prisoner succeeded, he knew that if he stole the jewelry and sold it immediately, the police would soon be able to find him, and it was too dangerous to carry the stolen goods with him all the time, so after stealing the jewelry, he found a nearby place to bury the jewelry." ”

Ayumi said, "Ah, so the place where the jewels are buried is Rentaro's house." ”

"Yes, no one could have imagined that a prisoner would leave his jewels in the home of an unrelated person. Mitsuhiko said proudly, "This prisoner waited until seven years later, and lived in Rentaro's house as a clerk, intending to dig up the jewels without knowing it. ”

Ayumi praised: "It's amazing, Mitsuhiko, this reasoning is too perfect." ”

Motota patted Mitsuhiko on the shoulder and said, "It's really yours, it's exactly the same as I thought in my heart." ”

"Poof!" Gray Hara couldn't help but laugh.

"Mitsuhiko, there is some truth to your speculation. "But why did he wait until now to dig up the jewels?"

Mitsuhiko said: "Of course, it's to wait for the statute of limitations for public prosecution to pass." ”

Yuan Tai said: "In other words, this prisoner will soon be able to swagger around with his jewels and find someone to sell them everywhere." ”

Conan said: "Please, the statute of limitations for theft is seven years, but the ownership of those jewels is twenty years, which means that the jewels still belong to the jewelry store, and if he digs them up now, he can't be considered his." ”

Mitsuhiko said: "Conan, you are so stupid, you don't have to pay legal responsibility, of course, you have to keep the jewelry by your side to rest assured, otherwise it will be bad if someone takes it away." ”

Conan shouted, "Who said that you don't have to pay legal responsibility, it is also a crime to deliberately harbor stolen goods." ”

Ayumi asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Mitsuhiko said, "I don't think so. ”

Yuan Tai said, "Of course the prisoner can't even know what we don't know. ”

"Ahem, ahem......" Conan was furious.

Yuan Tai waved his hand excitedly and shouted, "Okay, let's have the Junior Detective Group go and arrest this prisoner." ”

Conan stopped: "No, there is no evidence yet, so it will only be self-inflicted." ”

Yuan Tai said: "As long as you catch him at the moment of committing the crime." ”

Conan asked, "What do you want to do?"

Yuan Tai said, "Of course, I went into the room to search." ”

Conan said, "Didn't Rentaro say that? ”

Motota said, "Conan, you're so stupid, we just need to rush in when he opens the door." ”

Ayumi said, "That said, there are so many customers in the restaurant, and he doesn't dare to do anything to us." ”

"Ah......h

Gray Yuan laughed and said, "Great detective, I miscalculated this time." ”

Mitsuhiko whispered to Motota and Ayumi, "It seems that Conan's self-confidence has been hit a lot this time. ”

Yuan Tai whispered, "Because I completely lost this time." ”

Ayumi asked in a low voice, "Then will he start giving up on himself from now on?"

Yuan Tai whispered, "I think it's very possible." ”

Ayumi whispered, "That's too bad, we can't let our friends do this." ”

Mitsuhiko whispered, "Then we'll let Conan reveal the secret." ”

Ayumi whispered, "Okay, so Conan might be a little better." ”

"That's it. Yuan Tai said, and then the three of them waved their hands and shouted, "Young Detective Corps, dispatch!" ......
