Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed
Chapter 55
"What's wrong?" Taro Jouno asked calmly, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Azusa Enomoto took out an olive green flip phone from his trouser pocket, handed it to Taro Jouno, and explained: "This is a phone I found in the store. A customer accidentally dropped it."
Taro Jouno took the phone and looked at it carefully. There were camouflage stickers on the back and around the screen of the phone, which looked quite unique.
"When did it happen exactly?" Taro Jouno frowned. He went back early at noon yesterday to study new emotional weapons. This should have happened after the afternoon.
Azusa Enomoto nodded and replied: "I found it under the sofa when I was cleaning yesterday afternoon. I thought it was just an ordinary phone, but then I received three strange calls."
"Strange calls? What exactly happened?" Taro Jouno frowned. He vaguely felt that something was unusual.
Azusa Enomoto recalled: "After answering the first call, the other party said, 'Huh? Sorry, wrong number', and then hung up. Then, the second call came again, and it was the same man. He asked, 'Huh? That's strange, is there a ringing sound next to you?' It seemed that there was someone else on his end, and he hung up again soon. On the third call, the other party's attitude suddenly became very fierce, and he roared on the phone, 'Hey, are you that guy's woman? Let him answer the phone! I'm going to kill him!'"
"Kill him?" Taro Jyouno narrowed his eyes suddenly, and he smelled a hint of the case.
Azusa Enomoto lowered her head a little awkwardly, her fingers unconsciously twirling around the corner of her clothes: "I was too nervous, so I turned off my phone. Hey, do you think you should mention this to Detective Maori? He's having breakfast here."
Jono Taro glanced over there, Maori Kogoro and Edogawa Conan were looking over here curiously, he shook his head gently, signaling Azusa Enomoto to be patient, "Let's take a look at the surveillance first, maybe we can see who the owner is from the picture, after all, you found it in the store."
After hearing this, Maori Kogoro was muttering in his heart: Isn't it just a rent increase? Is it necessary to have such a big objection to him? But he didn't want to take the initiative to ask for work, so he had to continue drinking his coffee.
Conan rolled his eyes aside, still depressed about what happened last night. Last night, he called his father, Kudo Yusaku, to confirm whether he had saved Huihara Ai, but he didn't get anything out of him and was scolded by his father. So, now he is not in the mood to get involved in this matter.
Enomoto Azusa slapped her forehead, "Yes, yes, I forgot that we still have surveillance!" She glanced at the old surveillance camera in the corner. The camera was obviously not working. Not to mention the customers, even she herself almost thought that there was no surveillance in the store, and completely forgot that there was a hidden camera.
The two walked into the employee lounge and quickly retrieved the surveillance video.
After some searching, they finally found the owner of the lost phone - a middle-aged man wearing glasses, a little fat, ordinary appearance, and a small goatee on his chin.
Taro Jouno turned to look at Azusa Enomoto, "How is it, Miss Azusa, do you have any impression of him?"
Azusa Enomoto frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she laughed, "I remember! He ordered fried noodles, beef stew, fruit drink, tomato juice and Caesar salad! The total is exactly 3,000 yuan!"
Taro Jouno was stunned for a moment, "3... 3,000 yuan?"
"That's right, if he ordered something else, the amount would not be so exact." Azusa Enomoto smiled a little proudly, "I was quite touched at the time, thinking that he ordered this on purpose and didn't need me to give him change!"
Taro Jouno smiled helplessly, this clue... was indeed quite special, and caught him off guard.
He originally thought it would be clues such as special patterns on the clothes, smells, or special habits of the owner, but he didn't expect that Azusa Enomoto's focus was on the menu ordered by the customer.
But then again, this can be regarded as a reflection of Azusa Enomoto's dedication to her job. After all, she knows the dishes and prices in the store very well.
Just then, a noisy voice came from outside the store, "Good morning, citizens!"
Outside the coffee shop, a car slowly drove by, and a deafening speech came from the horn of the car, "I am Shuhei Baisho, I hope everyone can vote for me, so that Shuhei Baisho can have the opportunity to create a quiet city for everyone! Good morning, citizens! I am..."
The voice was so loud that even the two people in the staff lounge could hear it clearly, and after hearing the content clearly, Taro Jyouno finally remembered the situation of this case."Is that a propaganda car for the parliamentary election?" Jionno Taro turned around and asked Enomoto Azusa.
Enomoto Azusa nodded and confirmed: "Yes, that car has been passing by the store door every night at around 8 o'clock..."
Jionno Taro had an idea when he heard it. The case was probably like this: suspected of taking bribes during the parliamentary election, blackmailed by reporters after discovering the hidden funds, the parliamentarian asked someone to recover the hidden funds, but the reporter encountered a car accident.
"Okay, anyway, let's try to turn on the phone first." Jionno Taro said, pressed the power button of the phone, tried to call back, but received a reminder that the phone was in arrears.
"It seems that calling back is not feasible." Jionno Taro frowned, and then began to check the phone's address book. After a while, he found the hidden account record of the parliamentary election. The contact person used katakana, referring to the group to which the land belongs; the first four digits of the phone number are the date, and the following digits are the amount. The black "·" means "black letter", which means "surplus" in Japanese. Obviously, this is a secret account of election funds.
At this time, Conan couldn't help his curiosity and quietly slipped into the staff lounge and asked, "What's the situation? Do you need Uncle Kogoro's help?"
Taro Jouno held his mobile phone in one hand and picked up Conan with the other hand and walked out: "No need!" Then he turned to Azusa Enomoto and said, "Miss Azusa, I'll take care of this matter. I'll leave the store to you."
After that, he put Conan back to the booth where Maori Kogoro was, pushed the door and walked out.
"Hey~" Conan looked helpless and had to turn to Azusa Enomoto for help, "Sister Azusa, what's going on?"
When Maori Kogoro heard this, his ears stood up. He hadn't received a new commission for a week, so he took this opportunity to listen to the excitement and kill some boring time.
"This is what happened..." Enomoto Azusa told the whole story without hiding anything.
At the same time, after leaving the coffee shop, Jyono Taro immediately called Sato Miwako.
