The book continues above.

At the entrance of the circus, a middle-aged man who resembles Mr. Hawke is surrounded by reporters and asks strange questions, which makes him very angry.

"Mr. Hawke, are you really that much in love with animals?"

"Mr. Hawke, are you going to stay here and not leave?"

"Mr. Hawke..."

Dressed in a brown suit, James kept shaking his head, saying I'm not Hawke, and I'm not a western cowboy! Spare me.

At this point, Dr. Ali finally saw that something was wrong with him. Because he didn't have a personal bodyguard by his side, and his accent was clearly not like the people over there.

Gray Yuan looked at him sadly, and said to Conan mockingly, "Actually, we are not much better than him, are we?" Conan. ”

Conan shook his head speechlessly and said, "Forget it, don't say so much." Let's help him out. ”

With that, Conan took Gray Yuan's hand and walked over to James.

"Uncle Thomas, so you're here. Didn't you say you'd invite us to dinner? ”

James, who was anxious, nodded subconsciously after hearing Conan's question. The reporters also wondered if they had really confessed their mistake.

(I don't seem to know them, so it's nice to have someone to help me out.) ）

Conan, taking advantage of their suspicions, hurriedly dragged Mr. James away.

Finally, with Conan's help, Mr. James burst out of the crowd of reporters.

As a token of his gratitude, Mr. James offered to invite them to dinner. Yuantai was definitely happy and agreed to James's thanks.

As they walked on the humanoid overpass, Mr. James said gratefully to Conan, "Thank you very much. People often say that I look like Mr. Hawke, although I checked his profile. I think I'm a little different from her. At least my pronunciation is noticeably different from his. But I didn't expect to be mistaken by reporters when I came here. These paparazzi really bother me too much. ”

Yuantai thinks that he should go out with makeup. Like bring a mask or sunglasses or something.

Mr. James smiled and did not speak.

Mitsuhiko suddenly remembered something and asked, "So, why do you like to watch animal shows?" ”

Mr. James smiled happily. Say, "Yes, I was buying a unique phone pendant here." Because the pendants here are very nice and beautiful. And the performances here are not bad either. ”

Gray Plains doesn't think so. He said, "It's found all over the world." Why do you have to come here? ”

James explained: "Because he has a unique manufacturing country. Believe it or not. ”

Gray Yuan Ai took out his pendant, looked at the pink pendant line, and found that it was indeed different.

Conan thought that this man was simply insane. Is it worth it for a breaker?

(Then I would like to say what he would think if he sold his as scrap newspapers.) ）

James went on to say, "I'm actually waiting for someone here. Have you ever seen a man with a black knit hat, a blue jacket, and long hair? ”

Dr. Ali and the others shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know anything.

Mr. James said, "Then I will invite you to dinner first." I'll call them later. By the way, I've been talking to you for so long, I don't know what your name is, my name is James Black. What about you? ”

Conan replied embarrassedly: "My name is Conan Edogawa, and I am a detective. Also, because I can't conclude from your accent that you're not Mr. Hawke. ”

Mr. Hawke asked with interest, "So what do you think you can't say?" ”

Conan explains: "Generally speaking, the English word for can't should be kae'not, not 'kaenot.' So..."

Mr. James looked at the confident Conan and gave a thumbs up in admiration. Say, "You're really a great detective." ”

The showy Yuan Tai objected, thinking that we were also detectives.

(Conan smiles but doesn't speak.) ）

James nodded. "Then you are not Sherlock Holmes's..."

Mitsuhiko knew what he meant and nodded hurriedly. Indicates that we are the ones you said were the source of Sherlock Holmes' information.

Then James led them to the hotel.

But Gray Yuan looked at him and felt very bad. Think he's not like a good guy. In particular, he just said that he is not used to driving on the right. So...

Conan smiled and said, "Everyone said that they were born in the United States of Knights, but they grew up in Chicago in the Eagle Empire. You don't think everyone is so bad, good or bad. ”

Gray Yuan nodded boredly, indicating that you were right. We'll wait for him here for a while.

Then, Mr. James was left alone and walked to his parking lot.

Three minutes later, when Mr. James found his rented car, (white Toyota sedan. Suddenly he was stopped.

Mr. James looked at two strange people. He asked, "Who are you?" Why are you looking for me? I haven't done anything strange. ”

The man in a blue trench coat with square-rimmed glasses replied, "We are plainclothes JC." Is this white car yours? ”

James replied, "Yes, it's my rented car." ”

However, the man with the glasses said: "I suspect that you are suspected of stealing this car, so I will take you to the bureau for interrogation." We ask for your cooperation in the investigation. ”

Mr. James naturally said that the car was clearly rented by me legally. There are also rental invoices.

The man in sunglasses in a white trench coat said, please come to our car.

Mr. James reluctantly agreed to their request. Follow them into their car.

After walking to their car, James said, "I still have friends, so...

However, the two men pushed James directly into the car and drove away.

(They didn't notice that his key had fallen outside.) This gave Conan a piece of evidence for them to look for him. ）

Inside the car, James finds himself pitted! They actually think of themselves as Mr. Hawke, and they take a fortune from him.

Despite Mr. James's constant explanations, I am not Mr. Hawke. But the man with square-rimmed glasses, threatened with a pistol, he had to accede to their demands ...

It's been 20 minutes of waiting and Mr. James hasn't picked them up yet. Dr. Ali said, let's go find him. They nodded. Head to the parking lot where James is located.

When they got to the place where Mr. James had parked, they found the car there, but the person had disappeared.

(Because the door is open, the keys are still there, but there is no one inside.) ）

Conan thinks something must have happened to him.

At this time, the children who were playing soccer found Dr. Ali after them. So he took the initiative to run to them and said, if you are looking for a foreigner uncle with blonde hair, then it is right. Because he was taken away by two uncles in trench coats just now.

Conan and the others hurried in the direction the group of children pointed out, and found a scene that disturbed him. Because there is only one pendant left behind by James. Clearly, something had happened to Mr. James.

Gray Yuan Wai thought: "He must have been taken away by someone." ”

Yuantai, who loves to eat, said that maybe Uncle James was taken away by the man he said, and then wanted to repay the debt and not give us good things to eat.

Ayumi looked at Yuantai, who was full of complaints, and retorted, "Yuantai, how could he be like you think." Maybe something happened to him. ”

Conan looked at Ayumi with appreciation. Then he picked up the pendant in his hand and explained: "You see, the cloth strip of his mobile phone pendant is stained with special characters with blood. Don't believe me. I think he must have been taken away by the bad guys. ”

Mitsuhiko and the others then looked at the blood-stained special letters on Conan's strip of cloth and nodded. It seems that something happened to Mr. James.

Ayumi asked Conan with concern. He said, "Conan, what should we do?" Do you want to call the police? ”

Conan nodded, indicating Gray Plains, you hurry up to Dr. Ali in the parking lot, indicating that something happened to Mr. James. Tell him to call the police quickly.

After hearing Conan's instructions, Ayumi hurriedly ran in the direction of Dr. Ali and told Dr. Ali about it.

At this time, Conan looked at the P and A on the cloth strip and a special symbol, and was at a loss. I thought to myself, "What the hell is the point of these characters?" ”

On the road, the three prisoners were holding Mr. James hostage, trying to get a fortune out of him.

(Mr. James looks like a fool at three people, including the driver.) I thought to myself, "I'm so unlucky." Not only did the reporters think I was Mr. Hawke, but the low-level garbage also thought I was Mr. Hawke. I was so unlucky. ”）

The man in the blue trench coat smiled and said, "Thank you very much to our Mr. Hawke. It was he who gave us a chance. Let's have a chance to make a fortune. ”

But James retorted, "I'm not what you call Mr. Hawke. I repeat. ”

However, the man in the white trench coat means that I say you are you. And don't think we're going to take your word for it. When the time comes, hehe.

Mr. James was immediately ready to cry.

The man in the blue trench coat looked at Mr. James's frightened face and said happily: "Now, as long as we control you, then we will see the money." As long as we see the money, we will naturally let you go. ”

Mr. James looked at their triumphant expressions, shook his head helplessly, and stopped talking to them.

In the end, their car was still on the street, driving unscrupulously...

(Because they disguised themselves as J-cars, they were naturally not afraid of anything.) The driver's uniform was already ready. ）

Thirty minutes later, the police who heard the report arrived at the scene. Ask: "Kid, did what you said really happen?" ”

Yuan Tai yelled at the police uncles, saying, "We children will never deceive people. ”

But those police officers must have thought that Yuantai was a prank.

Will the police really believe them? Did James finally see his friend...
