"Three days ago, when school ended, the three of us ate oden together at a snack shop near the school. At that time, there was also a kind old man who invited us to eat something. After eating, we left the place, and then at the fork in the road, we went home. ”

According to what Kazueda Kondo said, Qinghai Chuantang found this snack shop, which happened to be in business.

"Hello. Have you ever seen this girl? ”

Qinghai Chuantang handed the phone to the other party.

The shopkeeper took a closer look and nodded.

"Just three days ago, she came here with two other children, and a man invited them to eat, but they weren't together. I've met that man a few times, and he runs a shoe repair shop nearby, which seems to be called 'Ninei Shoe Repair Shop'. ”

"By the way," the shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, "and the man followed shortly after the three children had walked out. ”

Qinghai Chuantang and Conan glanced at each other.

"Now, we'll just have to go to the shoe repair shop and ask and we'll get clues, right?"

In today's development of science and technology, Conan's words made Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the surveillance camera on the street lamp not far away and said: "Let's check the monitoring directly, wouldn't it?" And, if you were a suspect, would you follow the other party with great fanfare? In that case, you will soon be suspicious. ”

Conan looked up at the surveillance camera and couldn't help but ponder: why is there always a lack of surveillance when he encounters a case?

"That's what it was three days ago. Speaking of which, when I was on patrol before, I often saw children coming in and out of a house, but that house had been abandoned for a long time. ”

Conan browses the monitoring with quantum fluctuation speed reading, while Qinghai Chuantang talks to the other party, and may be able to get some useful information from it.

"Are those kids still there?"

The other party shook his head, "It seems that two days ago, they left, it was raining at the time, and I only found out by watching the surveillance." But they were all holding umbrellas, and they didn't see what they looked like. ”

Qinghai Chuantang took out his mobile phone, found out the photo of Weiyou and handed it to the other party.

"Look, is there a back that resembles this child?"

The other party looked at it carefully, thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly, and said, "It seems that there is such a one, and he is also wearing such a white coat." But not the same person, I don't know. ”

Conan found the picture that the other party said, and there were indeed several people holding umbrellas and leaving a house. It's just that they all walked alone, and they didn't look like they were coerced.

Could it be that Kuwabara Miyu just ran away from home?

Conan touched his chin and thought, always feeling that things were not so simple.

After receiving the call, the two left the monitoring room.

It was Sichuan West Mu Gui who called, saying that he hoped that Qinghai Chuantang could assist the police in solving the case.

This case, it was a bit tricky.

Because there are so many people, the search lesson is already busy like ants on a hot pot. If the main culprit is not found sooner, it may continue.

Robbery and theft committed by relying on one's status as a minor are nothing more than juvenile courts or juvenile penal institutions according to different age restrictions. As long as it is not a heinous act, the Family Court is generally lenient. After that, they only have to bear the corresponding civil liability.

But because of neglect of discipline, some people may have entered the juvenile home more than once. I even thought that anyway, I haven't reached the age of a teenager who has violated the law, so at most I can educate him and close it for a few days.

Therefore, in the past month, cases involving them have emerged one after another.

Officer Kawanishi...... Do you mean that you want me to help find this group of minors? ”

"Of course not."

Kawanishi Muji gave a general picture of the matter.

To sum up, the purpose of the police now is to find the person who is called "Ghost Brother". Because the ghost brother is haunted, it is difficult to find him, so I hope that Qinghai Chuantang, who is a profiler, can help with geographical profiles and find out where he is.

"Where robberies have been happening lately, just go to that place and have a look. Since they both use the word 'elusive' to describe each other, this person called Brother Ghost will naturally not appear in one place and wander around. As members of the ghost group, they may know something, such as how to contact the ghost brother. ”

And the place where robberies often occur is around Kyodo Station.

After hanging up the phone, I saw Conan keep looking up at him, and he wanted to stop talking. Qinghai Chuantang immediately understood something, and couldn't help laughing: "Conan child, do you want me to take you to find those children?" ”

Conan was stunned, blinked, and nodded.

I can't help but wonder: Are you sure you don't know how to read minds?

Qinghai Chuantang glanced at him, his height was less than his knees. He stretched out his hand again and said, "Are you sure you're going to give someone a head?" ”

"Give someone a head?" Conan was a little puzzled.

"It's what it means to die." Qinghai Chuantang explained: "Your current height and size are not convincing, even if you really meet, it is estimated that they will laugh off their big teeth." And the police themselves know about it, so you don't have to get involved, right? ”

Does this guy have to be so straight?

Conan thought in his heart, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Didn't I help you before?" Now it's your turn to help me. ”

Justice, he can't sit idly by.

Qinghai Chuantang sighed, "Get in the car." ”

At the end, she whispered again: "If it weren't for the aura to protect you, it would have been cool a long time ago." ”

Fortunately, because the wind was a little noisy, the other party didn't hear her words.

Vehicles are moving on the road.

Conan looked around, trying to spot the group.

It was already dark, leaving only a warm yellow light. Kyodo Station has been abandoned for a long time, so not too many people pass by here, and there are not many pedestrians on the road at this time.

It was very easy to find them.

Several children gathered around and looked at a certain man.

"Wait, there's it!"

Conan hurriedly stopped her.

At the moment when the vehicle was stable, Conan hurriedly opened the car door and jumped in.

The teenagers who heard the footsteps turned to look at him, and the men who were surrounded also looked at the comer.

"Ke, Conan?"

"Officer Takagi?"

Conan was stunned, why were you, as a police officer, robbed by a group of children?

"Senior Kawanishi went to refuel the car, let me wait for him here." Takagi smiled and explained, "I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. But in the face of a group of children, I can't do anything to them. ”

Poor Takagi, the loan for the ring has not been paid off, and he is about to be robbed again.

"I didn't expect it to be a strip." The young man in the gray coat smiled and looked at Conan, "Kid, have you finished your homework?" Could it be that Kamen Superman has seen too much and thinks that he is Superman who is coming to save the earth, right? ”

The children all burst out laughing, as if they were laughing at each other's indiscretion, which sounded a bit harsh.

"It seems that you are relying on the protection of juvenile law, and you have no fear."

Kawanishi Muji walked to the mouth of the tunnel and stopped, stretched out his thumb and pointed to the black car on the road, and said, "Look at that car, right?" It's still black. You're all active criminals now, so come with me. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Takagi and said with some disgust: "Officer Takagi, you are a policeman, and you were robbed by a group of children, if others know, our policeman's face will not be guaranteed." Weren't you pretty smart before? ”

Takagi scratched his head with a smile, "If the news of this police beating of minors spreads, the impact will be quite big." Therefore, it is mainly based on persuasion education. ”

"A crime is a crime, regardless of age."

Qinghai Chuantang had a lollipop in his mouth, looking a little leisurely.

"Three and a half people." The man in gray smiled: "Is the threshold of the strip now low enough for elementary school students to join the team?" ”

After saying that, the man in gray whistled, and several children came out of the other end of the tunnel, adding up to a total of thirteen.

"Hey, uncles. If you leave now, it's still too late. Are you police trying to beat up students? ”

In the crowd that came out of the shadows, a teenager in purple caught Conan's attention. It is exactly the same as the clothing worn by the people next to Weiyou that I saw on the surveillance before.

"Students? Now it's just the police and the criminals. ”

Kawanishi Kiki looked at Takagi, "Officer Takagi, now is the golden time to stop the crime. Teenagers of this age are unscrupulous under the protection of juvenile law, and if you indulge them too much, you will only push them into the abyss. ”

The word "good old man" is the best way to describe Takagi.

He felt that it was just a group of rebellious teenagers who had left home. As long as we persuade and educate them well, explain the benefits and disadvantages clearly, and let them clearly understand that what they have done is wrong, they can wake up and mend their ways.

So even when he was surrounded and about to be robbed, this thought still did not waver.

If it was just to counter violence with violence, of course he could do it.

After all, for the criminal police, some fighting skills are a must. But as a police officer, he has to attack a group of underage students, and they are still young and delicate.

Frankly...... He couldn't do it.

However, whether it is Qinghai Chuantang or Sichuan West Muqi, what the two said has a certain truth. This made Takagi's long-term insistence a little shaken.

"Officer Takagi, what are you doing in a daze?"

Conan called his name repeatedly, and finally pulled the other man's thoughts back.

"Conan? What's going on? ”

After Takagi came back to his senses, he looked at the teenagers lying on the ground, and was a little panicked.

Kawanishi Muji carried a teenager on his body as if he were carrying rice, and then looked at him: "Officer Takagi, I'll leave the rest to you." ”
