A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 146 Noah the Chicken Thief

"At the moment, splitting up is the best way to go because we can't get all our guests together."

"Takagi, what are the characteristics of your bag, please describe in detail."

"It's about the same color and size as the one in my hand, but my backpack is a little old, and there are two handkerchiefs in my bag."

After listening to Takagi's narration, everyone present was a little bit troubled, the degree of difficulty was too high, there are at least tens of thousands of tourists in the amusement park, and it would take too long to search based on this clue alone.

"But there is no better way right now, let's look for it separately, remember to contact us at any time."

The Boy Detective Team has always been very keen on this kind of thing, even with Takagi's advice, the little ghosts are still determined to go their own way, ready to show their talents.

"Let's go, let's go for a walk, even if we can't catch the murderer, it's good to do our best."

For this kind of case that does not belong to the homicide type, Noah is not very interested. No matter how high the degree of participation is, he does not give much experience, except of course, except for catching Kidd.

As noon approached, the number of people in the tropical park did not decrease at all, but tended to increase, which put more pressure on the search personnel.

Whenever they saw a bag that looked similar, the investigators would show their police ID to check the bag of the other party, but every time they returned disappointed.

"Noah, do you have a better way, I feel like you are moving forward with a purpose."

"Hey hey, I was discovered by you."

Conan and the others didn't notice that this playground had installed a very hidden surveillance system where the Ferris wheel was lined up for safety, which Noah noticed by accident.

His goal now is the surveillance video. He wants to see who took Takagi's backpack. As for why he didn't tell the police, of course he wants to gain more experience. Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

The staff originally rejected Noah's idea of ​​obtaining surveillance, because according to the regulations, only the police have the right to transfer these videos without permission, and others can only respond to the higher authorities and ask for instructions.

But who is Noah? Long before the crowd dispersed, he secretly slipped out Officer Takagi's ID card, and it was very simple to hold down the photo to fool the staff.

Noah didn't know when Takagi and the others made the Ferris wheel, so he had to watch it one by one. Fortunately, he brought Huiyuan with him, and the two of them were half of each other, so the speed of watching was not slow.

The people outside were investigating in full swing, and Noah and Huiyuan in the house were drinking the drinks brought by the staff and blowing on the cool air conditioner. It didn't feel too comfortable.

"Noah, come and see, I found the time when Takagi and the others were making the Ferris wheel."

In the picture, Takagi is handing his backpack to the staff. As Haibara speeds up the video playback, the passengers who pulled Takagi's Ferris wheel began to get off.

What troubled Noah was that there were three people on the Ferris wheel who had the same backpack as Takagi, and they had to eliminate the suspects one by one.

After printing out the photo of the suspect in the video, Noah and Huiyuan officially embarked on a journey to find someone, but their workload was far worse than that of others.

You only need to take the photos and compare them one by one, and you don't need to step forward to scare the snake.

The first person was a middle-aged man. Noah thought he was the most likely when he hadn't seen anyone. After seeing the person, he found that there was a child who was about the same age as Hui Yuan beside him, so he gave up. According to his investigation, no one brought children to trade drugs.

The second one was a woman. When they found this woman, she was actually playing on a merry-go-round, which really surprised the two of them. It is really rare to sit on this when they are older.

Fortunately, with the help of Hui Yuan, Noah saw the details in the other party's bag, which were basically bottles and cans commonly used by women.

"That seems to be the only one left now."

The two embarked on the journey of searching again, but the last person seemed to have evaporated from the world, and the two of them walked around for a long time without finding any trace of this person.

"Could he have left Tropical Paradise? After all, if he finds that his drugs are missing, he will probably choose to leave to prevent someone from calling the police to arrest him."

"I don't know about this, but I don't think this person looks like that kind of timid person. Let's look for it."

Looking at the young man in the photo in his hand, Noah commented somewhat uncertainly.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and soon it was night. After searching for so long, everyone found nothing, and everyone's mental state was obviously a little tired.

"I can't do it anymore. After looking for so many people, I still haven't found Officer Takagi's backpack."

"Me too, I really can't move."

Seeing how tired the children were, Xiaolan decided to take them to have some food. After all, she had been busy all afternoon, so she probably should have been hungry by now.

This proposal was surrounded by many children, rushing to the restaurant.

"Brother Noah, Huiyuan, are you coming to eat too?"

After Yuantai and the others arrived at the restaurant, they found that Noah and Huiyuan were sitting and chatting inside, and rushed over in a swarm.

"Yo, it's you guys, what's the result of the investigation, did you find anyone?"

Several children shook their heads, expressing that they had gained nothing, and then took Xiaolan to buy food. What a group of children.

"Conan, have you found anything?"

He also shook his head to answer, he was also busy all afternoon, but the result was the same, except for a tired body, he got nothing.

"Looking at the looks of the two of you, it should be the same."

"That's not necessarily true."

Noah was smiling. He and Huiyuan searched for a long time but couldn't find the person in the photo, so they planned to give up.

Unexpectedly, no coincidence, when the two of them were resting in the dessert shop, they bumped into the suspect who came to buy drinks, and followed them all the way to the restaurant, where they sat until now.

"Did you find Officer Takagi's backpack?"

"Here, look."

Following the direction Noah pointed, Conan saw a person with his back to them. At this time, there was a bag similar to the one that Officer Takagi said on the other side's table.

"How can you be sure that he is? I have seen many such people today."

Noah chuckled, told about the monitoring, and took out the photo.

If you can beat Noah, Conan really wants to beat him up now, you have found such an important clue, and let us waste an afternoon looking for it.

"I'm also here to exercise your reasoning ability. I didn't expect you to be so disappointing."

... Disappointed you ghost, I think you just want me to run for a while, Conan glared at Noah angrily, then pulled away the chair next to him, sat on it and observed the suspect with Noah.

"What should we do now, go up and catch him?"

"No, I think he's just a groom who transports drugs. Since I saw him, this man hasn't opened his backpack once, and he doesn't even know that his bag has been swapped with someone else. And judging by his performance, he should be in Wait."

Conan nodded knowingly, and he also noticed that in just a few minutes since he saw him, the other party checked the time three times, obviously they should be waiting for the trading time.

"Noah, what's the matter with you looking for us?"

Takagi and Sato ran in from outside the restaurant, and the two of them came here directly after receiving Noah's call.

"Look at that bag, is it yours?"

Following the direction indicated by Noah, Takagi saw the backpack, and after careful observation, nodded excitedly.

Officer Sato couldn't bear it at first, and wanted to go forward to arrest him, but was pulled back by Conan, who relayed to them what Noah said just now.

"I'm so tired, I almost forgot that there is another person waiting to trade, thank you so much, Conan."

The wait lasted for an hour. Around seven o'clock, the suspect stood up, picked up his bag and walked outside. He asked Xiaolan to watch over several children, and Noah and others quietly followed.
