The book continues from the above, on the top floor of an apartment on No. 2 Street in Toya-cho.

Officer Twilight and the others take them away and make their way to the roof of the building.

At this time, the roof balcony was empty. Looks like he's out of here.

But to be on the safe side, they still walk in a recumbent position. See where he is.

"One group found no target."

"The second group found no target."

Officer Takagi discovers an important element.

"Officer Twilight, I found Ichiro Takeda writing on one of the walls of the balcony."

Officer Twilight: They hurry to the place Officer Takagi said.

It reads, "I knew you were back, tant." But don't try to catch me! No one can stop me from my revenge plan! ”

Officer Takagi said embarrassedly to Officer Twilight, "What should I do now?" ”

Officer Twilight, with anger on his face, slammed the security bar in front of the balcony.

"Close!"

At the same time, scare the Maori detective agency to death.

Conan sitting on the couch watching TV. After seeing that Mori Kogoro was about to leave again, he asked, "Uncle Mori, what's wrong?" ”

Mori Kogoro, dressed in a gray suit, said to Conan, "Although I gave Officer Twilight a good piece of advice. As a result, I didn't expect that Ichiro Takeda to run away! I don't know where to go now. So I'm going to help Officer Twilight right away and find a way to catch that guy. ”

Conan thought for a moment and asked, "Were there any clues at that time?" If you can, can you let me come along? ”

Mori Kogoro thought about it and thought that as long as Conan was by his side, there would be no situation that would stump him. So he agreed to Conan's request and rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department.

In the Warning Hall conference room, Officer Twilight tells Kogoro Mori what he said from the balcony, asking him to share his opinion.

Mori Kogoro looked at the message and said, "Should we officially protect them and wait for them?" After all, Ichiro Takeda is the target of Fujita Ichiro. ”

Officer Twilight says we've separated them. Then protect them separately.

Conan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Officer Twilight, will you startle the snake by doing this?" ”

Officer Twilight asks, confused, "Do you have a better way?" ”

Conan explained: "Since he was able to escape from under the noses of the police, his counter-reconnaissance skills must be very skillful. Perhaps, he has discovered your presence in the place you are protecting. ”

This makes Officer Twilight ponder.

Yes, the other side has a high-intensity counter-reconnaissance capability.

After all, there are so many plainclothes policemen, no matter how well they are disguised, as long as he is a little careful, he can give clues. If you find a clue, once the turtle shrinks, then it will be troublesome!

Officer Twilight asks Conan for advice, "Conan, what should we do when we press the pound..."

Just as Conan was about to answer, Officer Chiba, who was protecting Ichiro Fujita, called.

"I'm Twilight. What happened. ”

"Report to Officer Twilight, we were protecting Ichiro Fujita when we got a call."

"What did he say!"

"He said he had found us! Then I'm going to ask Fujita Ichiro out. And then the duel. What are we going to do! ”

"What did Ichiro Takeda say, Ichiro Takeda said think about it."

"So did the other party give Fujita Ichiro time to think!"

"The other party said that whether you accept it or not, I will appear on No. 2 Street of Toiya-cho 3-chome, and if you don't come, you will bear the consequences!"

Officer Twilight then asks Conan, "Conan, you told him not to meet with Ichiro Takeda." ”

Conan thought to himself, "This is the only good chance to capture the other party." If you missed it! So how big will this figure who seriously endangers society be. ”

Conan decided to take a gamble! He says to Officer Twilight, "I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf!" We promised to gamble with him! ”

Mori Kogoro asked in an incredible tone, "What! Didn't you push Ichiro Fujita into the fire pit by doing so! ”

Conan asked rhetorically, "If we don't, can we print him!" ”

This leaves Mori Kogoro and Officer Twilight undecided.

Because after all, this is the only chance to capture Ichiro Takeda. So I couldn't think about it, so I said to Officer Chiba that I promised him!

At the residence of Ichiro Fujita.

Ichiro Fujita, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, cautiously confirmed: "Comrade policeman, are you sure I will meet with Ichiro Takeda!" If I meet him, he won't kill me! ”

At this time, Officer Chiba, who was wearing a gray suit, looked at Ichiro Fujita who was panicking. Comfortingly, he said, "Don't worry, we will have someone to protect you." You can rest assured. And I'll let you ship the best body armor of our Metropolitan Police Department. You can rest assured. ”

Although Fujita Ichiro wanted to refuse Officer Chiba's proposal very much, but after thinking about it carefully, if he coaxed this time, then he would look for himself in the future. Rather than being scared all day long, hiding in the countryside and being in fear all day long. It's better to compete with him! At least my odds of winning are above 90 percent.

So Fujita Ichiro decided to do it!

He called Ichiro Takeda's number.

"Figured it out? It's been 15 minutes now, and if you regret it now, you're still in time. But you'll be going to live the rest of your life..."

Fujita Ichiro gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind. Said to Ichiro Takeda, "I promise you!" And I promise, just me! ”

"Well, I'll trust you one last time. Anyway, even if there are police nearby, I'm not afraid! Between you and me, it's time for a result! ”

Then he hung up.

Ichiro Fujita said, let's go now. If he can't get to the place on time, then he will act irrationally.

Meanwhile, Mieko Fujita eavesdrops on what Detective Miike and other colleagues in a blue police uniform are saying outside the living room outside the bedroom door. As a result, information about this duel was discovered. She secretly wrapped a sheet in the shape of a rope and sneaked out of the second-floor window. Then he drove his own car and disappeared.

Toiyacho 3-chome 2nd Street.

At this time, Officer Takagi and Officer Sato handed over the best body armor to Ichiro Fujita.

The latter hesitated for a long time and decided to put it on.

When Fujita Ichiro was wearing body armor, Officer Sato suggested, "It's really not possible, we can let Officer Chiba replace you." After all, he's about the same size as you. The same fat. ”

Officer Chiba said on the side, yes. I see you're a little afraid of him. As long as I draw a costume like the same, he can't recognize who is who.

It's good not to say that. As soon as he said this, he sped up the speed of putting on body armor and replied to Officer Sato: "No! If I don't think about society, I want to think about my Michiko! I can't let him jump into that Takeda's fire pit again! ”

Finally, after he put on body armor. I put on a black jacket. Appeared on the street in a big way.

But it's not bad, but luckily there are very few pedestrians on this street. Gave a very big help to the police.

Many of them, dressed as pedestrians, were secretly protecting Ichiro Fujita.

At the same time, Conan, Mori Kogoro and others also came to the scene.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, Officer Twilight secretly asked, "Which of them do you think is the most suspicious!" ”

Conan looked carefully at the pedestrians around him and replied to Officer Twilight, "Not yet." ”

At the same time, they specially arranged snipers at the commanding heights of nearby buildings, ready to kill Ichiro Takeda at any time.

Let's talk about Ichiro Fujita on the street.

At this time, Fujita Ichiro looked at every pedestrian on the road and was terrified.

Because as long as anyone who passes by him, they will wonder if it is Ichiro Takeda.

In fact, Ichiro Takeda, who was wearing an orange cleaner's uniform, was also flustered.

Because, when he was pretending to sweep the floor, he found that there were many fewer pedestrians nearby! The point is that 10 minutes ago, there were still many vehicles passing through this street, and now there is not a single one! It seems that the police have imposed traffic control on this street.

While Fujita Ichiro was watching left and right, Conan spotted a strange cleaner.

Because his clothes are so clean! Under normal circumstances, the trouser leg should be a little muddy. Or the hat worn on the head should not completely cover the head. The point is that he seems to be deliberately avoiding something.

"Uncle, that cleaner is so strange. You see that there are a lot of fallen leaves and garbage in the aisle across the road, why did he go to Fujita Ichiro's side to sweep slowly. There is also Ichiro Fujita who looks east and west intentionally or unintentionally! ”

At this time, Officer Sato, who was on the roof balcony of a convenience store, also said to Officer Twilight, "Officer Twilight, I noticed that the cleaner seemed very strange. Because he only swept the garbage on Fujita Ichiro's side, but the garbage on the opposite side did not sweep up. Important, there is a lot more garbage on the opposite side than here! And he deliberately hid his face! We can't see him from above. ”

Officer Twilight hurriedly checks with his binoculars and discovers that this is indeed the case!

Officer Twilight picks up the walkie-talkie and says to Officer Sato, "No need to reconfirm! He's Ichiro Takeda! Be ready to snipe at any time! ”

"Fujita Ichiro, pay attention, the suspicious cleaner near you is Takeda Ichiro. You have to be careful, be careful! ”

Fujita Ichiro, who was looking around, suddenly noticed that the cleaner wearing a hat was hiding his right hand behind his back, and seemed to be holding something.

He hurriedly shouted: "Are you Ichiro Takeda or not!" ”

The cleaner didn't speak. Raising his head and staring directly at Fujita Ichiro with cold eyes, with a panicked face.

Fujita Ichiro looked at Takeda Ichiro and looked at him with murderous eyes. Desperately, he said, "I know there's something behind you!" Shoot! ”

Conan found that Ichiro Takeda seemed to have the urge to shoot at this time, and he wanted to subdue it with a watch-type tranquilizer gun. But because of the distance, it can't be done at all! Moreover, if you suddenly break into the vicinity of the two of them, an unknown situation will occur. So he could only anxiously watch Fujita Ichiro's performance.

However, then things changed! What the hell has changed...
