Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 53 The Invisible Caller

The night after Jiang Xia called the police.

Conan took the other three bear children and followed the treasure map all the way. Finally, I successfully found a building with "Oni Sakura" written on it.

At this time, let alone three first-grade children.

Even Conan was secretly excited when he thought of the huge amount of gold coins that were enough to take a bath. After all, in the final analysis, he is just a 17-year-old plus-size kid.

A few brats cheered, and Conan took the lead and ran into the building excitedly.

However, the moment he entered the door, a figure suddenly stretched out his hand at the place where the door was against the wall, grabbed Conan into his arms, and covered his mouth.

It was already night and the environment was very dark.

The other three children didn't notice any abnormalities, and ran in after Conan foolishly.

...and then one by one the ambushed people arrested them.

Conan struggled desperately, staring at this scene with a pale face.

A few tall figures lurking in ambush, and this is where the treasure is hidden... He instantly thought of the group of international thieves who were on the run.

Conan gritted his teeth and looked at the murderer in front of him. According to the usual practice, the "robbers" should sneer fiercely at this time, then pull out a pistol, click it into the chamber, put the muzzle on their heads, and force them to ask where the treasure is...

Sure enough, in the next second, Conan saw the big man in the suit grabbing him, showing him a sinister expression with a half-smile.

The big man put his rough hands into his pockets and took out...

A police card.

Conan: "...?"

"Kids." The police officer, with dark circles under his eyes, tried to smile at the children, "Don't be afraid, we are the police."

...

Miwako Sato emerged from the shadows, and the four children were led aside.

She herself continued to squat at the door, half-believing and ambush the robbers who might follow the child into the building based on the information provided by "Anonymous".

Within a few minutes, three Italian robbers actually appeared.

...

Although the robbers were tall and powerful, and each had a gun, their force value was obviously not good enough.

Sato kicked over and kicked two of them flying. Even Takagi knocked down the other one without too much trouble.

The robber lost instantly, was handcuffed and escorted to the police station in despair.

...

Sato breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to the four children, intending to take them back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

But the children refused to go with her.

Conan was even more astonishing: "The stolen 15,000 gold coins are hidden in this building!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Miwako Sato, and she really showed a surprised expression.

But soon, Conan was surprised to find that Officer Sato didn't seem to be surprised that "there is a treasure on the roof", but wondered why the children knew this.

Miwako Sato bent down and touched the heads of the bear children: "Thank you for the information you provided, but the gold coins are no longer here. Come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us first, and talk about other things at that time."

——Yesterday, after receiving a call to the police from "Anonymous". Since it was related to an internationally wanted criminal, the police rushed to the building immediately and searched the building inside and out.

However, the stolen gold coins were not found, only a few empty bags that had been thrown away were found on the top floor.

...

Miwako Sato led the four bewildered brats back to the Metropolitan Police Department. Internationally wanted criminals were taken to the other side.

The treatment on both sides was completely different. The children sat in a spacious and comfortable office and were fed biscuits and hot tea.

But Conan is not in the mood for cookies.

What he cares more about now is—why the police ambushed in the building, and they also know that the gangsters followed them.

This question was quickly answered.

...

Takagi took a notebook and asked a few children: "Have you ever seen a person who calls himself 'Anonymous'?"

Now the robbers are caught, but the stolen goods are gone. In this regard, "Anonymous" is very suspicious.

"No." Conan pondered Officer Takagi's words, and gradually understood, "Is it 'Anonymous' who told you that the robbers will go to the Onizakura Building? And mentioned us?"

Takagi looked at him in surprise.

Originally, he was worried that the child would not understand the situation. Unexpectedly, he only asked a question, and the child immediately understood the cause and effect.

Gao Mushe: "..." No, think about it carefully, it may be because these children have been in contact with Anonymous, so they immediately think of her!

Officer Takagi was refreshed, feeling that there would be a big gain.

He took the recording pen, played an anonymous alarm recording to the children, and asked expectantly:

"It's such a voice, have you heard it?"

However,

Contrary to what Takagi thought, all four children shook their heads.

...

The voice in the recording is very pleasant, and has an indescribable rhythm, which is highly recognizable.

Conan was very sure that he had never heard such a voice.

However, just because you haven't heard Anonymous speak, doesn't mean you haven't seen her.

Conan thought: Maybe this afternoon, when the Detective Boys took the treasure map to hunt for treasure, they happened to be seen by Anonymous. That's why she made the speculation that "the children found the building in a treasure hunt and were followed by robbers", and made the predicted call to the police.

That is to say...

Conan's eyes lit up: I can use this to reversely determine the scope of Anonymous's actions today!

——Conan has strong observation skills, and he always pays attention to the time during the treasure hunt.

He can remember what time he was, and roughly where he acted.

In other words, as long as you compare the time when Anonymous called the police with the location of his treasure hunt this afternoon, you can determine at what time and where Anonymous appeared. Then look for nearby monitoring and find relevant clues.

The more Conan thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible.

He pushed his glasses and asked calmly, "What time did she call the police?"

"This...wait a moment."

Takagi glanced at the information and quickly replied: "9:17 am yesterday."

The fighting spirit in Conan's eyes froze.

He stayed for two seconds, suspecting that he had heard it wrong: "Yesterday??"
