Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed

Soon, Miwako Sato answered the phone.

"Officer Sato, this is Jouno, are you available to talk now?"

"Oh, Manager Jouno, it's working hours now. If it's about coffee..." Miwako Sato's voice came through the receiver.

Taro Jouno couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, wondering if his call sounded a bit like a coffee sales pitch. "

No, no, no, Officer Sato, I'm not talking about coffee. I actually want to ask if the Metropolitan Police Department has received any cases involving a middle-aged man recently?"

"Middle-aged man? Manager Jouno, your description is too vague, isn't it? Do you have more specific information? Also, why do you think this person is in trouble?" Miwako Sato asked in confusion.

Taro Jouno quickly explained: "It's like this, a middle-aged man's phone was left in our coffee shop, Xiaozi answered the phone, and the other party said he wanted to kill him. The man left the Poirot Coffee Shop after 14:00 yesterday afternoon. He looks ordinary, has a small goatee, and is a little bloated. I have a surveillance video here, I have taken a screenshot, and I will send it to you right away."

After that, Taro Jouno quickly sent the screenshot to Miwako Sato.

A surprised voice came from Miwako Sato: "Yesterday afternoon? A colleague from my Ministry of Transportation just told me about a traffic accident. The person who was hit was a middle-aged man, and his body shape also fits the bloatedness you mentioned. I will confirm with my colleagues and get back to you later."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Officer Sato." Taro Jouno said gratefully.

After hanging up the phone, Taro Jouno breathed a sigh of relief.

He remembered that Yumi Miyamoto was responsible for the car accident, after all, the car accident fell under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation.

But he didn't know Yumi Miyamoto before, and didn't have her contact information, so he could only ask Miwako Sato first.

After all, Miwako Sato and Yumi Miyamoto are best friends, and maybe they have already discussed the case.

The result is gratifying. Miwako Sato did learn about the relevant case information from her friend Yumi Miyamoto, which saved Taro Jouno a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, he would have to go through a lot of trouble to ask the clerk Xiaobai to track down the man who called. Although he would eventually find him, it would undoubtedly take a lot of time.

Not long after, Taro Jouno's phone rang, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

He thought about it and knew that this should be a call from Yumi Miyamoto, and then he answered the phone.

"Mr. Jouno, this is Yumi Miyamoto from the Traffic Execution Section of the Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Department." As expected, a capable female voice came from the other end of the phone. Who else could it be but Yumi Miyamoto.

"Hello, Officer Miyamoto." Taro Jouno responded politely.

"I heard from Miwako that you have an important clue. I just handled a traffic accident yesterday afternoon, and the deceased was the person in the photo you sent to Miwako. Where are you now? I want to meet you and learn more details." Yumi Miyamoto got straight to the point.

"Dead? Okay, then I'll wait for you at the Poirot Café, the address is 39-5, Beika-cho." Taro Jouno pretended to be surprised and asked the other party to come over for a face-to-face chat.

"Huh, Poirot Café? I'm nearby and will be there soon." Yumi Miyamoto was a little surprised and hung up the phone quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Taro Jouno returned to the Poirot Café.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Conan and Kogoro Maori surrounding the clerk Azusa Enomoto and asking something.

As soon as Conan saw Taro Jouno, his eyes lit up immediately and he waved to him excitedly.

"Brother Taro, you are finally back! Come on, show us that phone!" Conan shouted impatiently. Haha, I have almost understood what happened. As long as I get the phone, with my reasoning ability, I will be able to deduce the identity information of the owner very quickly!

However, the next second, Conan was shocked.

I heard Taro Jyouno calmly say: "No need to check, the owner of the phone is dead."

"Dead...dead?" Azusa Enomoto exclaimed, and then quickly covered her mouth, fearing that her shouting would affect the business of the coffee shop.

"Taro, tell me quickly, what is going on?" Maori Kogoro asked seriously.

Conan on the side was still in shock. My reasoning is gone again? Hey, have I always encountered this situation recently?

Conan instantly fell into deep thought, recalling several recent experiences:

In the coffee shop murder case, Taro Jyouno said there was a surveillance video, which directly saved him from reasoning;

In the counterfeit money gang kidnapping case, Taro Jyouno thought that he was a child and was too slow to follow, so he followed him and called the police, and he didn't even have a chance to reason;

In the magician enthusiast murder case, he was becauseHe caught a cold and was taken away by Maori Kogoro, missing many clues. In the end, it was Jouno Taro who revealed the truth;

There was also the Blue Castle exploration incident, where he was careless and was knocked unconscious by a surprise attack, and it was Jouno Taro and others who saved him.

Wherever Jouno Taro was, he always had little room for reasoning for one reason or another.

It was the few incidents where Jouno Taro was not present that allowed him to use his expertise and make inferences.

Could it be that Jouno Taro was his nemesis?

Jouno Taro didn't know what Conan was thinking in his little head. When he heard Maori Kogoro's question, he shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "I don't know the details. I just called Officer Sato, and she happened to know that a middle-aged fat man died in a car accident yesterday. Officer Miyamoto, who is investigating the matter, will come to the store to inquire about it."

"Is that so." Maori Kogoro nodded when he heard this, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly sped up his eating speed, as if he wanted to pay the bill and leave quickly.

"Is Mr. Maori in a hurry?" Azusa Enomoto asked curiously.

"Ah?" Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, and explained while eating: "Yes, I suddenly remembered an important matter and need to deal with it."

Conan came back to his senses from his contemplation, looked at Maori Kogoro strangely, and muttered in his heart: Doesn't he know how the detective agency's business is going? There has been no commission for a week, what can Uncle Kogoro do?

However, just when Maori Kogoro had just finished eating and was about to pay the bill and leave, Miyamoto Yumi had already pushed the door in with a colleague.

After scanning the store, her eyes suddenly fell on Maori Kogoro, and she said with sudden realization: "I said this address is familiar. Isn't this the address of our great detective Maori Kogoro? Great detective Mr. Maori, do you still have a parking fine to pay?"

Maori Kogoro's forehead was sweating, and he quickly explained: "Ah, that... Actually, I was planning to pay it today."

Conan on the side rolled his eyes helplessly, muttering to himself: So that's it, Uncle Kogoro was in a hurry to pay the bill and leave to avoid Miyamoto Yumi, I thought it was some emergency.

Seeing this, Miyamoto Yumi smiled and waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay, I'm kidding. Today is the weekend, I'm not here to urge the fine, I'm here to find Mr. Jiono."

Jiono Taro quickly took over the conversation and greeted politely: "Hello, Officer Miyamoto, I'm Jiono Taro."
