When he picked up this sentence, Kaedehara also deliberately imitated Mr. Yatsukoshi's tone at that time.

His voice wasn't loud, but the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Kaedehara and Conan in some surprise.

If these two are just ordinary children, then the Dusk Police Department and Officer Takagi will only think that this is a mess and will push them aside, but these two are not ordinary.

It's hard, can it be said...

Until then, of course—

“… It was Kaedehara who said it just now. Conan pointed to Kaedehara beside him helplessly, answering the confusion of the two.

Normally, it wasn't easy to distinguish him and Kaedehara just by their tone, but now Kaedehara imitated someone else's tone, so the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi couldn't tell the difference for a while.

"Small, small?"

"What is that?"

"It was the chubby uncle who said it, and it followed the sentence just now." Kaedehara replied, "I was there at the time, and I happened to hear it. He deliberately lowered his voice and said this..."

"That's right! Sora, your hearing is very good..."

"I see, so you heard this sentence that you couldn't hear clearly in the video," the Twilight Police Department also showed a sudden look, "In this way, Mr. Yatsukoshi deliberately led Mr. Lianye to fall..."

"And he is Mr. Lianno's companion who flies kites together, and Mr. Lianno will listen to the guidance he makes..."

"But there's no evidence yet, right?" Conan questioned, "What the kid said wasn't convincing in the first place, and Kaedehara's situation was still very special..."

In fact, Conan also sensed something was wrong from this video just now, but he didn't open his mouth because he couldn't think of the evidence for a while.

"yes," agreed the Dusk Police Department.

"But in this video taken by the organizer, the other voices are still quite clear," Kaedehara glanced at the computer screen, "Although the uncle deliberately lowered his voice, his voice was not so small that it could not be recorded." If this video is technically processed, it may be possible to amplify the sound and do voiceprint identification..."

The Twilight Police Department thought for a moment and touched his head, only to find his hat. Then he asked Officer Takagi in a low voice, "Do you have this technique?" ”

"Yes, there should be..."Officer Takagi was also unsure.

"That's what I saw on TV," Kaedehara continued, "and even if it doesn't work, you can tell what he said before by the way he mouths, right?" ”

"Huh?"

"That's right!" Conan suddenly, "That uncle's mouth just now kept moving, and it looked like he was saying something..."

Hearing Conan's words, Officer Takagi quickly adjusted the screen to when he thought Mr. Yatsukoshi was drinking water, and then continued to play the video.

If you look closely, in the video, Mr. Yatsukoshi really seems to be saying something.

"A little left, backwards, backwards..."

Conan read it right away.

However, despite Kaedehara's ability to act as a cover, he didn't need to pretend to be an ordinary elementary school student, but it was still a bit too much for elementary school students to read lips, so Conan just silently read in his heart and didn't speak.

"Hurry up and send the video back to the Metropolitan Police Department!" The Twilight Police Department instructed Officer Takagi.

"Yes!" Officer Takagi immediately started operating the computer.

The Twilight Police Department is a computer idiot who didn't even know how to turn off his laptop before, so the matter of sending the video to the Metropolitan Police Department can only be handled by Officer Takagi.

Looking at Officer Takagi sending an email, Kaedehara went on to add:

"Moreover, when Mr. Lianye wakes up, you can just ask him to know, right?"

"Yes, indeed..."

The Twilight Police Department nodded, and directly called the hospital to inquire about Mr. Lianye's condition, and then learned that Mr. Lianye was out of danger, but he had not yet woken up.

However, it was only a matter of time before Mr. Lian Ye woke up, so they were temporarily relieved about the evidence.

"But how did he guide Mr. Lianye?" After sending the email, Officer Takagi remembered that the case had not been fully sorted out, "Although he is talking, he can't hear words from such a distance, right?" ”

Kaedehara couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I already knew that Mr. Yatsukoshi was talking at that time...

"Here," Kaedehara reached out and turned the video back on, then reverted back to when Officer Takagi thought Mr. Yatsukoshi was drinking, "The bottle in this uncle's hand is very low, and it's still a little away from his mouth..."

"What's going on?"

"It's hard to get a drink in." Conan helped, explaining, "There's no straw in the bottle either. And if you look closely, it's actually an empty bottle, and there's no drink in it..."

"Really, really!" The Twilight Police Department leaned close to the screen and looked closely at the video footage, "What's going on?" ”

"Ahh I know! Officer Takagi finally figured it out, "It's a microphone!" ”

"Microphone?" The Twilight Police Department was still puzzled.

"That's right," Officer Takagi explained, "just tie all the kite strings to the empty drink bottles and you can make a simple phone!" ”

Then he imitated it again, "Then Mr. Yatsukoshi can give Mr. Lianno instructions as if he was drinking a drink—a little further to the left!" In the future! Such! ”

"Mr. Lian Ye has been holding the empty drink bottle because of this, right?" Kaedehara took over the conversation, "They probably discussed it and talked in this way." ”

"Just think of a simple code in advance," Conan added, "like pulling the kite string twice and you're ready to make a sound." ”

Only then did the Dusk Police Department show a sudden look.

This kind of communication has been played by many children, and the Twilight Police Department himself was no exception when he was a child, but as he grew older, he didn't remember this kind of thing very much.

In short, the modus operandi was thus clarified.

Because the hospital and the Metropolitan Police Department should be able to send back the news quickly, the Twilight Police Department did not choose to have a showdown with Mr. Yakoshi directly, but temporarily kept him in the name of investigation.

Conan stayed with the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi to wait for news, and Kaede walked over to Ashbara's side.

Although Gray Yuan Ai didn't mean to lean over, he vaguely felt that Gray Yuan, Dr. and others had something to wait for the case to end, and Ayumi next to him also looked a little anxious.

"Looks like the case has been solved?" Seeing that Kaede Yuan was a little closer, Gray Yuan said lamentingly.

At this time, she didn't listen to any more songs.

"Sort of," Kaede Hara replied, "It's just that the evidence will have to wait a little longer, and Conan wants to wait until it's completely over." ”

"Would you mind helping with our case?"

"Huh?" Kaedehara was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?" ”

"Yoshida's phone was lost, and we never found it." Ashbara replied, "Kojima and Tsuburaya are now preparing to ask one by one. ”

If it weren't for the fact that Kudo and Edogawa were about to solve the case, she, Ayumi and Dr. would have to go along and ask along.

"If you ask one by one, you might as well ask the organizer to send a broadcast," Kaedehara said, looking at Ayumi, "Remember where you left it?" ”

"Yes, remember!" Ayumi nodded, "I dropped my phone at the toilet door, but I don't know who picked it up." ”

"That makeshift toilet... Have you made a phone call too? ”

"Of course I did," the doctor replied with help, because the call was made by him, "I hung up after the first few rings, and then it seemed to be turned off directly, and I couldn't get through no matter how I called." ”

Then he thought about it again, "Even if you want to use GPS to locate it, it's okay if he doesn't turn it on." ”

It seems to be a crime of embezzlement...

Thinking to himself, Kaedehara then asked the doctor, "When was the first time you got through?" ”

"Just after the ambulance drove away. The commotion at that time made us forget about the mobile phone, and when I think about it later, Ayumi doesn't want to delay you in solving the case because of this matter..."

"It's okay, well, when the ambulance drove away," Kaedehara recalled slightly, "By the way, Ayumi, did you change the ringtone of your phone recently?" ”

"Hmm!" Ayumi nodded again, "I only changed it a few days ago." ”

"Is that this?"

As he spoke, Kaedehara was about to hum himself to confirm Ayumi's mobile phone ringtone, and then he noticed that Ayumi quickly covered her ears in stress.

She also shouted: "Don't! ”

“……”

Realizing something, Kaede Yuan looked at Gray Yuan and gave a somewhat helpless look.

The meaning of the look in his eyes was, "You've already told Ayumi." ”

Ash Yuan immediately understood what Kaedehara meant, just snorted lightly and skimmed his head, and stroked the hair around his ear.

The song that made Bumi and others very curious was covered by Kaedehara and listened to by Gray Hara, and was recorded.

I always feel a little ashamed...

"Really," Kaedehara sighed and looked at Ayumi again, "I just wanted to make sure Ayumi had your phone ringtone, in that case, you might as well sing it yourself, right?" ”

"Oh..."

Ayumi let go of the hand covering her ear, and then hummed a short ringtone of her own phone with some embarrassment.

"It's already possible." Kaedehara said.

"Looks like the incident here has been resolved?" Gray Yuan looked at Kaedehara.

"Well," Kaedehara replied, "Conan and I were right next to the ambulance when it left, and I happened to hear a cell phone ringing that rang a few times before it hung up. ”

"Kaedehara is amazing!"

"Ah, Mr. Detective is really reliable."

Like Ayumi and Ashbara, the Doctor breathed a sigh of relief.

"And," Kaedehara looked back at Conan and the others who were still at the organizer's tent, as well as Mr. Yatsukoshi, "the prisoner is still the same." ”

The person who took Ayumi's phone was also Mr. Yatsukoshi.

He was probably nervous because he was going to commit a crime, and after tripping and falling, he shoved Ayumi's phone into his pocket without even confirming whether it was his own phone.

Later, because he didn't want to attract the attention of the police, he chose to hide the matter. However, the wrong phone is not a big deal, and there are also justifications, so when Kaedehara went directly to ask for Ayumi's mobile phone for the reason he heard, Mr. Yatsukoshi returned the phone directly.

However, at this time, the Twilight Police Department also received a call from the hospital and learned that Mr. Lianye had woken up, so the two incidents were resolved together.

Mr. Yatsukoshi really wanted to kill Mr. Lianno because of Mr. Kakura's sister.

And so the case ended.

And the last incident -

Although Ayumi has learned the truth about the song listening incident from Ash Hara, she also chooses to help keep it a secret. So Conan, they still haven't been able to know the truth.

Back at the Maori Detective Agency, Conan also asked Xiaolan about it.

"Huh? Is there a song that only girls like to listen to, but boys hate it? Ran looked at Conan, then thought.

"Hmm..."

"Shhhhh Uncle Maori stared intently at the TV screen, "I'm interviewing Miss Yoko right now!" ”

Conan also turned his head to look over, and the host's voice happened to be heard on the TV: "Now I'm going to play a VCR for Miss Yoko..."

"Huh? Who is who? Yoko Okino said curiously.

Immediately after, the VCR was played on the TV.

Appearing in the picture is Takasuke Higo of the BIG Osaka team.

"Huh? Favorite type? To use celebrities as an example? ”

Takayu Higo also looked like he was being interviewed, "Nothing special. I often listen to that song during breaks, and I won't say whose song it is. ”

"I'll tell you!" Another player squeezed into the camera, "It's Miss Yoko Okino's new song, Dandelion!" ”

"Expensive, expensive!?"

"This uncle obviously has a beard, but he actually likes to listen to the songs of girl idols... It's so annoying! ”

"Contestant, are you also a fan of Miss Yoko?" The host, who didn't appear on the screen, asked.

"Ah, no, she's from the same high school as me. I just wanted to hear about it, and I liked it. Listening to it will be very energetic. The sight of the shooting comes to mind, and the lyrics are like dandelions. ”

"I see!" Guida looked thoughtful, "Because Dandelion is a dandelion, it's really smart!" ”

"You're going to walk away for me!"

This is the end of the VCR.

Isn't that it? Conan thought to himself.

This also explains that Kaedehara guy will look disgusted...

However, I always feel that there is something wrong...

On the other side, the doctor's house.

The doctor was still inventing in his lab, and Kaedehara went to the living room to get a jar of juice, and then noticed that Ashbara seemed to be lying on the couch.

He walked over softly, with his hands on the back of the sofa and looking down at the gray plain, just like on the day of the school festival.

The girl in front of her was wearing her eyes closed and headphones in her ears.

She wasn't as drunk as she was that day, though.

As if sensing movement or sight, Gray Yuan Wai opened his eyes and looked over.

Kaedehara quietly looked at the pair of ice-blue eyes.

Time seems to go back to the day of the school festival.,It was in such an almost the same scene.,His heart pounded uncontrollably.。

And now, he can look at her like this without scruples...

"Are you alright, Ashbarand?" After a while, Kaedehara spoke, "You look a little dizzy. ”

"It's not because I listened to the dandelion you sang for a whole day," Gray Yuan blinked, then took off the headphones and replied weakly, "Obviously there is an absolute sense of tone, but the singing is so ugly..."

"It's so ugly," Kaedehara tried to argue, "I think it's so much better than the last time I sang the ball song..."

"Ah, Mr. Detective really doesn't have self-awareness," Gray Yuan Wai was still lying on the sofa and looked at Kaedehara, "Obviously, you have a disgusted face when you listen to it yourself..."

"I think it's hard to hear you, and you've heard it so many times..."

"Yes," a narrow smile flashed in Gray Plains' eyes, "but when you listen to it, you will be reminded of your childish appearance." ”

That day, she happened to learn that the contestants liked to listen to Yoko Okino's new song Dandelion, so she wanted to hear it.

And as she had told Kudo before, Kudo was almost identical to Edogawa in some ways.

Just because of that, he was a little depressed.

However, he still helped buy CDs and covered them for himself. Although the act of that cover should also be just because he wants to leave his mark on the things she likes.

"Hey, what's naïve?" Kaedehara continued to argue.

"Childish ghosts." Gray Yuan Ai repeated, and then his tone was a little more serious, "I wanted to ask before, Kudo, you obviously feel uncomfortable, why do you want to give it to me?" ”

She only noticed him because Shigo's situation was somewhat similar to her own a few months ago, but it was clear that he couldn't do without Kudo's Amway as a football idol.

"No... Well, it's going to be a little uncomfortable. But..."

Kaedehara paused for a moment, then considering his words, "This will make you feel like you're embracing the world." ”

The first time I met, I just broke away from the organization and was a little negative, although she was very attractive, but Kaedehara still hoped that she could be more like an ordinary girl.

After all, she was only eighteen years old.

"And," Kaedehara continued, looking at himself reflected in those eyes, "I like you." ”

"Like everything you like, too."

There was a brief silence.

"Liar." Gray Yuan looked away and said softly.

"Huh?"

"Last time, I was talking about love," Gray Yuan sat up from the sofa and brushed the hair from his ears, "but now it has become like." ”

"It's all the same—" Kaedehara's words came to an abrupt end.

A soft touch came from the lips.
