Monday, February 12, morning.

Seeing that the people in the animal management department caught the big snapping turtle, Yuanta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were elated, and Gray was not interested at all, so they decided to retreat, and Yuanta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko had to follow.

When I got out of Central Park, I met Nihonmatsu who was carrying two large storage boxes, and it turned out that he had gone to the store next to him to buy something.

It's just that Gray Yuan is very puzzled, is this kind of thing too hasty to install a big snapping turtle, but I am relieved when I think it is a temporary installation.

Yuanta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko enthusiastically went up to help, and Nihonmatsu had to let them take a large storage box and send it with him.

Gray Yuan was helpless, so he could only follow, thinking in his heart, if Conan was here, then she wouldn't have to be this nanny.

The animal management department asked Nihonmatsu to sign an adoption document and agreed on the time of animal quarantine.

The two large snapping turtles put a large storage box, and then Nihonmatsu found that he couldn't carry it.

"I think we'll send it back for you. ”

"No, no, I won't bother you. ”

Nihonmatsu declined the kindness of the animal management department and left again.

This time, needless to say, I knew that I was buying a large storage box.

Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko followed, and Gray Yuan was not interested at all, but had to keep up.

In the store, Nihonmatsu bought two more large storage boxes with a painful expression on his face, and Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko volunteered to help him get them, and the empty boxes were not heavy.

On the way back to the park, Gray Yuan asked him to get the car.

Erbensong's face was ugly, "Car?, no, I'll just take it back to the apartment later." ”

Gray Yuan blinked, something is wrong, this guy, a snapping turtle weighs dozens of kilograms, and he moved back to the apartment one by one?

Mitsuhiko was moved: "You are really saving, it must be for the food expenses of the four big snapping turtles." ”

Yuan Tai said, "Then let's help too." ”

"I, I'll cheer you on. Ayumi still didn't dare to move, even if it was through the box.

Four boxes for large snapping turtles, Nihonmatsu carried one box and walked for a while, put the box down, and then went back to help the other.

Motota and Mitsuhiko said they wanted to help, but when they actually did it, they listened to the sound of the claws in the box rubbing and the vibration of the box grains, so they were still scared and transferred to cheerleaders together.

On the way, they met a debt collection duo, and they looked for Nihonmatsu.

"Hey, boy, what are you busy with, when will you pay it back?"

"That, plus interest, is a total of 1 million yen, but I'm ready for the money, but it's ...... due to some unexpected circumstances."

"Emergencies, don't you want to make excuses, right?"

"No, no, I'm going to pay off my arrears today. ”

"That's for the best. ”

In the cold sweat of Nihonmatsu, the debt collection duo said hello to the four of them and left, and they were met by Daijiro Manaka.

Erhonsong couldn't help but ask, "You actually know each other?"

Yuan Tai said proudly: "That's right, we have a wide range of friends, right?"

Ayumi smiled: "Well, they met last time when they were looking for Mr. Manaka Daijiro to collect debts. ”

Mitsuhiko said with a smile: "They are more vicious, so they are in the debt collection business, but they are not bad people." ”

"Yes, yes?" said Nihonmatsu, who was hard to believe.

Gray Yuan asked, "Now, are you really going to raise these four big snapping turtles?"

"When, of course. Nihonmatsu continued to move things.

Ayumi asked, "Xiao Ai, why do you ask that?"

"You heard it too, he owes a million yen. ”

Yuan was puzzled, "So what's the matter?"

"I see," Ayumi laughed, "he seems to be worried about money, so it doesn't look like he has extra money to buy feed for the four big snapping turtles." ”

Yuan Tai asked, "Since he can't afford to raise them, what does he want four big turtles for?"

Ayumi smiled: "I must have sold them to pay off the debt." ”

Gray Yuan shook his head and said, "Impossible, the market price of the big snapping turtle is less than 10,000 yen, which is far from it." ”

"Ah, that's the treasure. Yuan Tai said thoughtfully, "It's on the back shell of the turtle." ”

Mitsuhiko asked angrily, "Yuantai, who is going to draw that kind of map when and for what!"

Yuan Taigan couldn't answer with a smile, looked around, and found that an old woman was using a locker on the side of the road, and immediately went up to help.

"Ah, grandmother, I'll help you. ”

Mitsuhiko said weakly, "It's a clever transfer, Yuantai." ”

Ayumi asked, "Xiao Ai, why do you say it?"

"I don't know, there must be some other purpose." ”

Ayumi lamented, "Really, if only Conan were here." ”

"Even if Conan isn't there, we'll find out. "Mitsuhiko's morale is high.

"That's right, I really can't inform Uncle Maori and Brother Yamazaki. "If Uncle is happy, maybe he will invite us to lunch." ”

Mitsuhiko said weakly: "Forget it, Uncle will ask for ramen for about 1,000 yen." ”

Ayumi said weakly: "Brother Yamazaki will probably let us pay the bill ourselves." ”

At this time, Erhonsong came back to move the box, and the four of them hurriedly shut up. ……

Before noon, the pet hospital.

To the surprise of the four Yuantai, Erhonmatsu did not go home, but moved the four big snapping turtles to the pet hospital, and after seeing the doctor, he was going to go to the X-ray room to line up, but the hospital had a lunch break and had to wait until the afternoon.

Gray Yuan, Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko looked at each other and smiled, and they all understood for a while that going to the X-ray room was naturally to take X-rays, and there must be something in the turtle's stomach.

Mitsuhiko said excitedly: "I know, you see that his bandaged finger must have been bitten by a big snapping turtle when he was holding something, and then the thing in his hand was swallowed by the big snapping turtle." ”

Yuan Tai asked, "But what's the use of knowing this?"

"Of course it worked," Mitsuhiko said excitedly, "The big snapping turtle appeared in Central Park, so he must have been bitten in Central Park." ”

Gray Yuan asked, "The place is there, but what about the time?"

"Yesterday, no, it was last night. Mitsuhiko said excitedly, "The big sister said that she just threw the big snapping turtle away yesterday. ”

"It doesn't mean it's the same one. "And there's another problem, although the weather is warmer now, the temperature is higher during the day, but the temperature is lower at night, so the giant snapping turtle should actually be in hibernation, which is why no one has ever seen a large snapping turtle in Central Park before." ”

"Huh?" Mitsuhiko scratched his head, unable to answer.

Ayumi suggested, "Let's go to Central Park again, maybe there's a new clue." ”……

Central Park.

Ashbara, Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were wandering around and spotted a staff member trimming a piece of charred vegetation.

The four of them went up to inquire and learned that it was scorched last night, but fortunately it rained last night and did not cause a major disaster.

The cause of the fire is unknown, and it was found that the burned hat and a pair of gloves were mostly deliberately set on fire.

"Ah, Officer Takagi mentioned it in the morning, the thief last night was wearing gloves and a hat like that. Mitsuhiko said excitedly, "If he can repay the money, it must be the thief, and the three million yen must have been stolen by him." ”

Ayumi asked, "But if he's a prisoner, why don't you pay back the money since he's already paid three million yen?"

"Ah, I get it. Yuan Tai raised his finger and said confidently, "Listen, anyway, after he stole the money last night, he fled here, he took off his mask and gloves, and planned to burn the evidence here, but at that time, his finger was bitten by the turtle that suddenly appeared, and even his face was seen by it, but there were four big snapping turtles in this pond, because he didn't know which turtle he witnessed, so he had to destroy them all." ”

Gray Plain, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko raised their triangular eyes together and looked at Motota viciously.

"That," Yuan Tai said with a dry smile, "It seems that turtles don't recognize people." Then he asked, "Then what did you say happened here last night?"

Gray Yuan said: "You are a little right, he burned the evidence here, and then was attacked by the big snapping turtle that appeared, and the reason why the big snapping turtle appeared must be hibernation here, looking at the four small pits." ”

Ayumi smiled, "I see, a fire made the turtle think that the temperature was rising, so it woke up from hibernation. ”

"He was looking for the snapping turtle because something had been swallowed by the giant snapping turtle, and it was about three million yen. ”

"Let's go back to the pet hospital. Mitsuhiko said, "Call Officer Takagi." ”……

Pet hospitals.

The lunch break was not over yet, and Nihonmatsu was still waiting, and Officer Takagi walked up to show him his police officer ID.

"Hello, I'm ......"

"Police, police?"

Without waiting for Officer Takagi to finish speaking, Nihonmatsu's face changed greatly, and then he ran away, but at the door, he saw four people gathered around him waiting for him, such as Shibara, Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko.

"Get out of the way. ”

Nihonmatsu kept trying to knock them away, but he was caught by two hands, and the policemen in ambush on both sides of the gate grabbed him left and right.

Officer Takagi said, "Mr. Nihonmatsu, do you have anything to say? ”

"I," Nihonmatsu said dejectedly, "yes, I was the thief who went to Mr. Furokoji's house last night and stole three million yen." ”

Mitsuhiko asked, "What's the matter with the tortoise, what's in its belly?"

Nihonmatsu sighed: "It's the key to the locker, and I'm desperate because I owe someone money, so I sneaked into Uncle Koji's house last night and stole three million yen." ”

"On the way back, I ran into a patrol officer, so I put the bag in the locker and went to Central Park to burn the evidence. ”

"I didn't expect to run into a big snapping turtle, I was startled, the key fell out, I didn't expect it to swallow it in one gulp. ”

"I tried to catch it, but it bit my finger and I couldn't shake it off, so I had to put it in the water to make it loosen. ”

"I went to the hospital to see the emergency room and called the animal management department this morning and asked them to come and catch the big snapping turtle. ”

"I wanted to pretend to be the owner, but I didn't expect there to be four big snapping turtles, so I had to adopt them. ”

"That's it. ”

Mitsuhiko couldn't help but ask: "You said that you raised a little green turtle, and you also said that you wanted to atone for your sins......"

Erbensong apologized: "I'm sorry, I lied to you, I didn't raise a little green turtle at all." ”

"Ahh Mitsuhiko was disappointed.

Yuan Tai smiled: "I found you very stupid, if you lose the key, just call and say, someone will help you open the box." ”

"Motota," Ayumi smiled, "that's not going to work, even if he says so, but after the other party helps him open the box, he has to confirm the lost item with him, the owner of the depository." ”

"Oh, too. Yuan Tai scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "If you find out that there are three million yen in it, it will definitely be related to the theft case last night." ”

Nihonmatsu complained: "Alas, it's my bad luck, those who raise them, since they have them, don't throw them away, and even more so throw this dangerous animal in the park that belongs to everyone." ”

Officer Takagi said, "That's the case, but you're not in a position to accuse them. ”

"You're unlucky," Gray Hara laughed, "It's not good to set fire somewhere, you have to be in a place where they hibernate." ”

"Winter, hibernation?" Nihonmatsu was dumbfounded.

"Yes, the turtle hibernates at this time. Ayumi smiled, "They slept well, but you woke them up with a fire." ”

"I was speechless. Nihonmatsu was depressed. ……

Later, four large snapping turtles were adopted, and the hapless Nihonmatsu was sentenced to twelve years for banditry and arson. ……
