The phone booth is well soundproofed.

There wasn't much of anyone around.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello?"

"It's me."

"Shinichi?" The Twilight Police Department, who was still working overtime, skillfully lowered his voice and walked a little further away before continuing, "What's wrong?" ”

Brother Kudo must have called to be related to the case...

"That's right," Kaedehara said, "Conan told me about the disappearance. I was a bit interested in it, so called and asked. ”

Although he was busy with work, it was Kudo's brother's phone call after all, so the Twilight Police Department took it very seriously and listened carefully to the phone and briefly talked about what "Conan" had learned.

The Twilight Police Department quickly became a little impressed. Although he didn't follow up on this kind of search for someone, there were too few clues in this matter, so few that he could easily remember all the clues.

"I suspect it has something to do with counterfeit banknotes." After exchanging information, Kaedehara said.

"What? Counterfeit banknotes!? ”

"Yes." Kaedehara explained, "Conan found a portrait of Natsume Soseki drawn by the subject in the subject's room. The painting, modeled after a photograph and so realistic, was once sent for exhibition, attracting the special attention of a woman in black. ”

"The person disappeared shortly after that."

Kaedehara continued, and Ashbara looked at him and listened with interest.

"Considering that the 1,000-yen banknote is printed on Natsume Soseki, I thought it might have something to do with the counterfeit case."

"What does that require me to do?" The Twilight Police Department is very self-conscious.

"I called to see if the police had any clues," Kaedehara said, "a woman who was completely black and liked to wear multiple necklaces, combined with making counterfeit banknotes... Can the police department think of anything? ”

The Twilight Police Department was stunned for a moment.

… That said, he was all too familiar.

"Silver Fox? This woman is a repeat offender in making counterfeit money. There was a hint of complaining in the words of the Twilight Police Department, "She's been caught several times, and she dresses like this every time." ”

"This guy is different from her peers, she always likes to make counterfeit money in the city, which is why she gets caught so often," the Dusk Police Department continued, "but every time she gets caught before she succeeds, she doesn't get as much money as she did to buy equipment." ”

"It's also because of this that it doesn't take long for her to be released again each time. What, Shinichi, she did it again this time? The Dusk Police Department asked.

"Quite possibly."

Brother Kudo said so, then it should be...

"But, Shinichi, I don't know where she's now..."

It's too much trouble to find someone, and it just so happens that Brother Kudo is there, and the Twilight Police Department thinks it's better to ask directly.

"I have some ideas."

"Oh?"

"The person once called back and said that he was with someone who looked like Soseki." Kaedehara said, this is what Lu Jun also said.

The Twilight Police Department nodded on the other side of the phone, which was the only clue the police knew.

"This brings up the origin of the name Natsume Soseki - Soseki Pillow Flow." Kaedehara continued, "Aren't you usually rinsed your mouth with water and used a stone as a pillow? To do it the other way around means to be quite eccentric, which means to be perverse. ”

"So that guy has been printing counterfeit money in the city," the Dusk Police Department realized, "instead of going out into the suburbs to avoid people's eyes." ”

"That's not all. Calling back in a situation where you could be spotted by your kidnappers at any moment, will definitely try to tell where you are. This means that the words of the person concerned are also hinting at his position, but he does not dare to say it explicitly. ”

"And if it's just an urban area, it obviously doesn't make sense. So... His location could have been even more eccentric. Kaedehara continued.

"More weird?"

"Police, you just said that the silver fox has been caught many times, and every time it is making counterfeit money in the city, right?"

"That's right."

"This means that she is still a certain provocative towards you." Kaedehara paused, "So, police department, can you please ask the police station in the jurisdiction to see if there is a place near them, such as a newspaper office, where you need to use a printing press?" ”

Although Gray Yuan couldn't hear the voice on the other side of the phone, it was basically Kaedehara talking on the phone, and the Twilight Police Department was listening, so she still understood the whole picture.

No wonder he was able to save his sister from Gin...

Kaedehara hung up the phone and saw that Gray Yuan was wandering.

However, Kaedehara didn't bother her to continue her distraction, because his business was obviously not over yet.

Halfway through the call, he knew there was a new problem coming.

Pulling open the door of the phone booth, Kaedehara walked out.

Conan was standing across from him, looking at him with a very strange expression.

There's Conan in front, and there's Gray Plains in the back...

"Finished calling the police?" Conan asked.

"Hmm." Kaedehara blinked innocently.

"As soon as I look back and see you're gone, I know. You must have secretly called the police again. ”

"So I'll go back to the phone booth," Conan continued, "and you're not hiding it at all, right where we just passed." ”

"If I hide it from you, I'll be in trouble if you call the Dusk Police Department too." Kaedehara explained.

"Huh." Conan gave Kaedehara a dead fish look, and then watched as Ashbara came out of the phone booth.

But Conan didn't say anything, but went on to ask Kaedehara about the case, "And then?" Someone has been found? ”

"Nope." Kaedehara replied, "Just asking him for a favor from the Twilight Police Department." If there's progress," Kaedehara paused, "he'll call Conan Edogawa." ”

He just used the phone booth phone, so it's not good to wait here all the time, so he asked the Twilight Police Department to notify Conan if things are progressing, and then Conan will tell Shinichi.

Of course, the latter step doesn't matter.

Conan was a little helpless, but he felt like he was almost used to it.

Man is such a creature.

"What about them?" Kaedehara asked, apparently referring to Ayumi and the others.

"I told them you two would be back soon, and let them wait at a nearby fast-food restaurant," Conan explained as he walked, followed by Kaedehara and Ashbara, "and then I slipped out under the pretext of going to the bathroom." ”

Because he felt that since Kaede Yuan had gone to the police, it was most likely that the case had been resolved, so Conan was not so anxious to let them go home. And this group of children was already tired again, and it was rare to be more obedient, so Conan took the opportunity to come out to find Kaedehara.

On the way, Kaedehara briefly explained to Conan a little bit about his conversation with the Twilight Police Department, but Conan seemed to have other things on his mind, and was not as interested in the "Woman in Black" as he was before.

The three of them soon arrived at the fast-food restaurant to meet the teenagers and the group.
