Chapter 142: The Woman from the Black Organization (4)
When Genta saw Conan running out of the convenience store, he hurriedly followed.
Although he didn't understand the purpose of Conan's move, in order to regain the throne of the head of the regiment, Motota had already placed his bet on Conan, and he could only act with him.
"Yuantai, wait for us!" Mitsuhiko and Ayumi have always faintly thought that Yuantai was the first to look at it, and in their hearts, they still hoped that Yuantai could win this reasoning competition, so they chased it out with Yuantai.
Seeing this situation, Xingchen sighed slightly, but he didn't expect these children to be quite righteous and not bought by the small favors he gave.
Xingchen was not in a hurry to chase Conan with Yuantai and the others, he walked to the cash register, held the drink selected by the young detective group just now, and said to the cashier unhurriedly: "Sister, there are a total of six bottles of coffee milk here, please give me a bag to put up." ”
Miss cashier was not able to come back to her senses for a while by Conan's "robbery" behavior just now, she subconsciously picked up the banknote dropped by Conan, and after confirming that it was indeed a counterfeit banknote, the first thought in her mind was not to call the police, but how to spend the counterfeit banknote!
Because it was a counterfeit note that he accidentally received when he was on duty, he would inevitably find this counterfeit banknote when the store manager came to the store tomorrow morning to check the accounts, and it was impossible to hide this matter, so in the end, the loss of this counterfeit currency could only be compensated by himself.
As for Conan's act of calling the police and then handing over the counterfeit money to the police, Miss Cashier thinks that only an idiot would do that!
If you call the police, then the police will come to the store to confiscate the counterfeit money and issue a certificate of seizure for yourself, which is not bad.
It is more likely that the police will interrogate you more and then check the surveillance video of the convenience store, so you must notify the store manager, because only the store manager of the convenience store has the permission to view the surveillance video, and the store manager may fire him on the pretext that he is not serious about his work and affects the normal operation of the convenience store.
The cashier's lady was thinking about the miserable situation after losing her job, and with a trembling hand, she picked up the coffee milk and swept it at the code scanner six times in a row.
"It's 420 yuan in total. The cashier puts the filled coffee milk into a plastic bag one by one.
Xingchen took out a thousand-dollar bill from his pocket and said unhurriedly to the cashier, "Don't look for it." ”
Seeing that it was another thousand-dollar bill, the cashier's heart tightened, and she carefully took the 1,000 yuan given by Xingchen, and took a good picture of the sunset that was slanting in at the door of the store.
Seeing the cashier's cautious and serious appearance, Xingchen added teasingly, "Don't worry, this one is real!"
Leaving the convenience store, Xingchen easily saw Yuan Tai and the others who had not gone far. He and Gray Yuan were three steps and two steps together, and they caught up.
Gray Yuan saw what Xingchen did in the convenience store just now, and she said to Xingchen, "You are really generous!"
Gray Yuan is a smart person, she knows that the cashier lady has a high probability and will not call the police, of course, she does not dare to spend the counterfeit money, most likely she will destroy the counterfeit money, and then bear the loss herself.
The purpose behind Xingchen's arrogant behavior is to help Miss Cashier, and he is also very clever in helping to not directly exchange a real bill with a fake banknote, because doing so can teach Miss Cashier a proper lesson to avoid similar things from happening in the future.
Xingchen took out a bottle of coffee milk from the bag, unscrewed the lid very gentlemanly and handed it to Gray Yuan, and then explained, "It's not my money!"
Hearing this, Gray Yuan quickly thought of the wallet that Junya's brother left in the room, she took a sip of cold coffee milk, and said disdainfully to Xingchen, "I didn't expect you to have such a bad habit!"
"This is a commission fee! It's a market economy now, and it costs money to do everything!" Xingchen carefully explained to Gray Yuan, "If a professional detective agency is entrusted to handle this matter, Shunya's family will spend far more than that." From the portrait of Natsume Soseki that Toshiya's brother exhibited at the exhibition, to the 1,000-yen counterfeit banknote that appeared at the convenience store just now and featured Natsume's statue of Soseki, I have reason to think that Toshiya's brother has been involved in a big case of making counterfeit banknotes!"
Gray Yuan glanced at Xingchen, and the slightest good impression he had just had disappeared without a trace in an instant.
After meeting with Yuan Tai and the others, Xingchen gave them the coffee and milk in his hand. At the same time, he told everyone that the man who used counterfeit money may be one of the members of the gang that kidnapped Toshiya's brother.
Conan thinks that the matter involves the black-clothed organization, which is too dangerous for Genta and others, who are elementary school students, and originally wanted to find an excuse to get rid of Yuanta and them and investigate the counterfeit money incident alone.
However, Xingchen disagrees with Conan, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, that counterfeit note without a watermark should just be a half-finished product made by a counterfeit banknote syndicate, and only that careless cashier will accidentally accept it." From this point of view, the man we are following now must be just a greedy person who can't make a big deal, so don't worry too much!"
Conan thought for a moment, and thought that Xingchen had a point, and that he might be particularly conspicuous when he was a child following a man. As long as everyone is following in the downtown area, even if the suspect finds out, it is inconvenient for him to attack so many people at the same time.
The crowd followed the suspect by train to the Oduma station, and then watched him walk into the house next to the police station with the signboard of the Odujian newspaper.
"Could we be mistaken? Maybe that guy just happened to have a counterfeit bill. Yuan Tai pointed to the brightly lit police station and said, "No criminal dares to place the base camp next to the police station!"
"No! This is precisely taking advantage of people's psychological busyness, and people often say that the most dangerous place is the safest place!" Xingchen said on his lips, but in his heart he was very uneasy about this practice.
The production and sale of counterfeit banknotes cannot be completed in a short period of time, and if any accident occurs during this period, the production factory is in danger of being exposed.
For example, someone delivers food and makes a mistake with the address, or a reader comes to the newspaper to complain.
The practice of going dark under the lamp will only be considered by the stars when there is no way.
"And if it's a newspaper, no one will be surprised to buy one or two printing equipment! Newspapers and counterfeit money printing, the two will have a lot of common materials!" Conan was more confident in his reasoning.
"Okay, then let's go to the police station and call the police!" Yuan Tai ran towards the police station with an arrow step, he seemed to think that as long as the first person to call the police was himself, then relying on this credit, he could sit on the throne of the head of the junior detective group.
