Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed

"I see, even so, Mr. Jiono's friend is very capable," Miyamoto Yumi praised, "Thanks to his help, we were able to get the name and phone number of the deceased. I will send it back to the police station, and it will be just a matter of time before we find the other party's address."

"No, no," Jiono Taro smiled and waved his hand, "I'm glad I can help."

"In that case, we won't bother you any more." Miyamoto Yumi said goodbye with a smile, "I'll let you know if there is any new progress."

After that, Miyamoto Yumi left the coffee shop with her colleagues.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Officer Miyamoto." Jiono Taro waved to them.

"..." Watching Yumi Miyamoto and Patrolman Numata drive away in a mini patrol car, Conan came back to his senses and looked at Taro Jouno with his half-moon eyes, "I say, Taro, did you take out the information just to let Officer Miyamoto and the others leave earlier?"

"Ah?" Taro Jouno was stunned by the question, "Why do you think so?"

"Because you just went in and fiddled with the computer, and the information was in hand, which means you had found it long ago." Conan analyzed, "You offered to help after Officer Miyamoto said he would call the telecommunications company. At that time, you should have felt that it was too slow to find out like this."

"Haha, then what do you think is the reason why I did this?" Taro Jouno asked.

"I think it's because you don't want Officer Miyamoto to stay too long and affect the business of the coffee shop." Conan gave his analysis.

"You're right. I thought I'd just return the phone to the owner, but the owner is dead. I can just give the phone to the police as a relic. But you guys still want to investigate. How can I do business with a police car parked in front of the store?" Taro Jouno said helplessly.

"Uh~" Conan was speechless for a moment. After thinking carefully, from the perspective of the coffee shop, returning the lost property is already the most righteous thing to do. There is no need to investigate what else is hidden behind it.

It's fine for the police to come to the store to understand the situation briefly, but if they stay for a long time, it will indeed affect the business of the coffee shop.

Conan glanced at the "Daily Recommendation" on the wall, which said "Detectives and dogs are not allowed!", and suddenly understood why Taro Jouno wrote this sentence.

Maori Kogoro, who was standing by, also understood what was said, so he said, "We were negligent, kid, finish eating quickly, let's go back to the second floor and wait for the news from Officer Miyamoto."

"Yes, I know." Conan thought so, and nodded in agreement.

...

The subsequent developments were almost the same as what Taro Jionno had expected.

Miyamoto Yumi used the name and phone number of the deceased provided by Taro Jionno to quickly lock down the deceased's rental address.

There, they found several boxes of receipts, and more importantly, a copy of a secret account book.

The account book clearly recorded the name, date and amount of the bribe, among which the name of Councillor Shuhei Baisho appeared frequently.

This evidence was conclusive, and Shuhei Baisho was taken away by the police for investigation that day.

Faced with a mountain of evidence, Shuhei Baisho had to admit that he had accepted the bribe, and took the initiative to confess that he was blackmailed by the deceased, so he hired others to trade with the deceased.

After further investigation, the police confirmed that the place where the transaction was agreed between the man in sunglasses hired by Shuhei Baisho and the deceased was the Colombo Restaurant in Go-chome.

According to the original plan, the deceased hid the mobile phone under the sofa and unplugged the antenna, and the man in sunglasses called to locate the mobile phone.

However, the deceased remembered the wrong place and mistakenly placed the mobile phone in the Polo Cafe.

After the man in sunglasses could not find the mobile phone in the Colombo Restaurant, he called the mobile phone three times in a row.

The reason why the deceased was in a hurry to return to the Polo Cafe was to confirm whether the mobile phone had been taken away. The reason why he did not call the Polo Cafe despite knowing that he had made a mistake was that he was worried that his voice would be heard by the transaction partner.

These were all told to Kogoro Mori by Yumi Miyamoto the next day. She also mentioned that the telecommunications company had replied to her, confirming that the guy in sunglasses hired by Shuhei did try to call the telecommunications company to find the address of the phone owner.

However, three people did the same thing that day, and the staff who answered the phone could no longer remember who asked which number. Therefore, if there is no information about the deceased provided by Jyouno Taro, it will be very time-consuming to investigate based on the telecommunications company alone.

"Anyway, Officer Miyamoto said that she should thank Taro for the information he provided, which saved her a lot of trouble." Maori Kogoro concluded.

"Is that so." After listening, Conan raised his head thoughtfully and glanced at Maori Kogoro who had no vigilance, "Uncle Kogoro, you won'tAre you afraid that Taro will take your job in the future? "

"Ah?" Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? There was no client for this case. It's a good thing that Taro can handle it himself."

Conan was not so optimistic. He thought of Xiaobai's detective mode. His reasoning ability was not to be underestimated, and he would definitely crush Maori Kogoro. Thinking of the 1,000 Xiaobai-style dolls that Jyouno Taro was going to make, Conan felt a little threatened.

"Besides, Taro doesn't seem to be very interested in the detective business. I guess he won't do this business in the future." Maori Kogoro added.

"Uh...that's right. "Conan thought about it carefully, and it was true. Taro Jouno rarely took the initiative to get involved in these incidents. Even if he was involved, he would go to the police if he could, and rarely took the initiative to use his brain to deduce the truth.

Just like in the Blue Castle incident, he was careless and was trapped by a sneak attack. At that time, Taro Jouno could have let Xiaobai turn on the detective mode to deduce the truth of the matter and save him and Dr. Agasa. However, from Ayumi and the other three, I heard that Taro Jouno chose to sleep and planned to call the police after dawn. If Ayumi hadn't cried and begged him, it is estimated that he and Dr. Agasa would have suffered a lot that night.

Thinking of this, Conan was relieved. Although Taro Jouno has such a powerful Xiaobai doll, it will not prevent him from having no incidents to deduce in the future.

...

In a corner of the cafe, Taro Jouno was having an important meeting with Shiraishi Toshihiko, the president of Iroha Toy Company.

"Manager Jouno, please look, this is our sample. "Shiraishi Toshihiko gently pushed a doll of the same model as Xiaobai in front of Taro Jouno, his eyes full of expectation, "If you are not satisfied with anything, please let us know, and we will make changes as soon as possible. If you are satisfied, then we can start mass production. "

Taro Jouno was a little surprised at the other party's efficiency, but then he thought of the unpredictable flow of time in the world of science, and he was relieved. He picked up the sample and looked at it carefully. From the appearance, this doll is exactly the same as Xiaobai, which made Taro Jouno very satisfied. However, what he cares most about is not the appearance.

"President Shiraishi, is there a reserve for the chip interface I requested?" Taro Jouno raised his head and asked sharply.

"Of course there is. "Shiraishi Toshihiko smiled confidently, reached out to take the Xiaobai doll, and gently opened the back of the doll's head, revealing the carefully reserved interfaces inside, "Look, whether it is the reserved interface you requested, or the camera, microphone, wireless network card, power interface, all are ready for you here, you can check it at any time."

Taro Jouno nodded with satisfaction, but he did not make a decision immediately. He knew that the appearance and the reserved interface alone were far from enough. The real key was whether Xiaobai could confirm the feasibility of this doll.

So, in the doubtful eyes of Shiraishi Toshihiko, Taro Jouno stood up and said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, I need someone to confirm it."

"Oh, oh, of course, of course. "Shiraishi Toshihiko nodded quickly to show his understanding. He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. He was instantly attracted by the unique coffee aroma and intoxicated by it.

And Jyouno Taro took the doll and walked into the employee lounge. He knew that he couldn't just look at the appearance to see if it was okay. He had to let Xiaobai confirm it himself. Only in this way could he ensure that the doll could truly meet his needs.
