Chapter 17 Conan Admits He Was Fooled

Faced with Takagi Wataru's doubts, Higashino Ning did not explain in detail, but bluntly stated that he had indeed found the suspect's lair, and asked the other party to come over and arrest the suspect together.

Although Takagi Wataru hesitated, he still agreed.

Of course, the main reason he agreed to come over was to see Dongye Ning's mental state.

...

Parking the police car, Higashino Ning trotted towards Ohtama Station. As soon as he arrived, he spotted the tall and thin man.

Search Class 1 never wears police uniforms, the only conspicuous thing is the police car.

Therefore, the other party did not recognize Dongye Ning immediately, but walked towards his lair.

Dongye Ning squeezed into the crowd and followed silently.

It was completely dark now, and there were many pedestrians on the street. The combination of multiple environmental factors made it especially easy to track him.

Not long after, Dongye Ning watched the other party walk into a newspaper office.

"Okay, okay, you set the money printing den directly next to the police station, right?"

Higashino Ning stood in the shadows and looked at the Otama Police Station. The policemen inside seemed to be completely unaware of any problems, talking and laughing with each other, and the time was quiet.

When the news breaks out, not only will this police station be drowned in spittle, but the entire police system will also be attacked by the public.

It's a pity that Higashino Ning currently does not have the ability to influence the media.

Being hit by AOE is quite uncomfortable.

Mobile phone vibration.

As soon as the call was connected, Conan's urgent voice reached his ears.

"Officer Higashino, have you found the prisoner?"

Dongye Ning continued to observe, "Well, it's the newspaper office next to the police station."

Conan was completely shocked.

This group of people must be arrogant!

It's dark under the lamp so that you can understand.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll be right over."

After saying that, Conan hung up the phone directly without giving Higashino the chance to reject him.

Ten minutes later.

Conan found Higashino Ning in the alley opposite the newspaper office, "Huh? Where are Ayumi and the others?"

Higashino Ning half leaned against the wall, "I had already sent them to Dr. Ali's house before coming here. Now, you should go home. It's too dangerous here. Children should not get involved."

Conan always felt that this was a bit of a déjà vu.

But Higashino Ning was just talking.

If Conan wants to participate in solving crimes as a primary school student, he must break the rules himself instead of letting him take the risk.

If I don't let you go, won't you go?

If he says he wants you, will he really give it to you?

Well...that's what it means anyway.

Conan has always been rebellious. On the surface, he agreed to Higashino Ning's departure, but turned around and disappeared into the shadows, transforming into a black shadow corps, dormant, waiting for the opportunity to take action.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Conan found Higashino Ning leaving alone along the street, with no intention of entering the newspaper office to investigate.

"Why is he gone???"

Conan was a little nervous and said that he had been fooled.

Obviously, not only did Higashino not notify his colleagues to come and arrest him, he didn't even really believe that the tall and thin man could be involved in the counterfeit banknote gang.

"Officer Higashino treated him like he was playing with a child..."

Conan shook his head and smiled bitterly. His expectations for the police were much lower, and he simply said he had no hope.

The opportunity to catch the counterfeit banknote gang was taken away!

It can actually be spit out.

"The police of this generation are really bad..." Conan sighed in response to the fact that he was called "the savior of the Japanese police" before he became a child.

However, Higashino Ning is a little better than the other policemen. At least he is willing to spend time to deal with the seriousness of a group of children.

The other policemen drove them away directly.

"Forget it, just do it by yourself!"

Conan stepped out of the shadows and walked towards the newspaper office.

...

The other end.

Dongye Ning has already gone around to the residential building behind the newspaper office.

He had been observing for so long just now to determine the tracking level of the counterfeit banknote gang. The result of the observation was that no one was tracking, but there was monitoring.

There are almost no blind spots in frontal surveillance. Approaching directly is almost useless. It is better to approach from other angles.

"Mr. Police Officer...are you sure that there is a gang making counterfeit banknotes hidden in the newspaper office in front of my house?"

The third floor of the residential building.

asked a young woman in her pajamas, uneasily.

Dongye Ning nodded, "Well, the clues all point here, and I don't think any newspaper has installed so many surveillance cameras."

"But..." The wife's beautiful eyes gleamed with simplicity, "There is a police station next to the newspaper office. Are criminal gangs really so bold?"

Dongye Ning glanced at the married woman secretly, "The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place."

The married woman continued to question, "This newspaper has been open for two years."

Higashino Ning looked serious and pointed at the police station, "They are incompetent."

Wife: "..."

There is no point in continuing to argue. Higashino Ning came to the balcony to estimate the distance and judge whether he could jump directly from the balcony to the roof of the newspaper office.

It's difficult, but you can try it.

...

Newspaper agency.

"Boss, a kid broke in."

"Ah? Why don't you just drive him out? Why bother bothering me with such a trivial matter?"

"Wait a minute, this kid...I saw him during the day!"

"Where?"

"Mika Town...it's strange, why did he come here?"

The silver fox, whose hat brim covered half of his face, slowly raised his eyes, looking at the tall and thin man with dangerous eyes, "Hey, when you met this kid, did you meet the police? A few minutes before or after will count."

The tall and thin man had just been punished for using counterfeit money during a tense period, and now he was just being submissive.

After listening to his explanation, the silver fox's mouth curled up, "It seems that the stupid police finally found this place?"

"Waste is waste, and now they are still thinking of using children to get information, hehe~ I won't show mercy to children."

The silver fox stood up with the help of the office chair, "Hide, wait for the child to go upstairs and catch him directly, we can't stay here."

"If the police chase, use him as a hostage. If not, kill him when you leave the city, and then find a random place to throw him."

The criminals nodded immediately, "Yes!"

Downstairs.

Conan thought about it and retreated from the corridor.

He didn't even know how many people there were on the other side, so it wasn't appropriate for him to rush in alone now.

Since the kid wasn't taken seriously, he could just use the big account to get help.

Conan ran to the phone booth and called Megure Jusan as Kudo Shinichi.

The officer in the hat was stunned after hearing this.

"What, the information is true?"

"Brother Kudo, are you with Tono Ning now?"

Conan realized that something was wrong.

Seeing Megure Jusan like this, Tono Ning had already sent the information back to the Metropolitan Police Department, but Megure Jusan didn't believe it.

He reacted very quickly and said immediately: "No, I'm not in Tokyo. Conan just told me that he was with Officer Tono. After listening to it carefully, I thought Conan's reasoning was correct, so I called."

"But... I heard from Conan that Officer Tono seemed to have left more than ten minutes ago."

As soon as the voice fell, gunshots suddenly rang out in the newspaper office, and glass shattered all over the floor.
