Conan: I won’t clean up my innocence after joining the organization

Following the place the old man wearing single-rimmed glasses had mentioned before, Ayumi came to a place where gems were wholesaled.

Looking at the price of several hundred yen, Ayumi's eyes kept glaring.

But no matter how she looked, she couldn't see any difference between these gems and the gems in the jewelry store.

Walking up to an old man who tied his hair with a white towel, Ayumi took out the photo with the red bow.

"Hello, have you seen the gem in this photo?"

Instead of being perfunctory because of Ayumi's young age, the uncle with the white towel on his head bent down and carefully identified the gems on the bow, and finally nodded thoughtfully.

"I think I've seen it before. This seems to be..." He thought about it for a moment, and because of the excitement after remembering it, his tone was a little higher when he spoke.

"No, it's the young man from that house who sells them. Although the things he sells are more exquisite, the way they are sold is very strange. Little girl, you'd better not go to his house to buy them."

With that said, he took out the gem behind him.

They are just imitations, especially in a place where there are a lot of imitations, but the white towel guy just offers a price that even a child can buy.

Looking at the price above, Ayumi touched her wallet.

Her family is not poor, and her monthly pocket money is enough to buy a lot of things for herself.

But as soon as her heart moved, she remembered the case that had not been solved yet.

So in the uncle's expectant eyes, Ayumi left.

Didn't spend a penny.

The old man in the white towel behind him showed his hand but did not try to keep her back.

……

"It should be right here..." Mitsuhiko looked at the street in front of him, feeling a little unsure for a moment.

Look at the place recorded in your own notes.

He felt that where the bow came from should not be important to this case, but adhering to the principle of not letting go of any clues, Mitsuhiko came to this street.

Looking at the half-closed store not far away, Mitsuhiko walked to the door of the store closest to him uncertainly.

The uncle with a white towel on his head was stopped by him.

He pointed his finger at that place and asked, "Is the owner of that store owned by a brother with long hair?"

When someone mentioned that store again, the uncle was confused for a moment, but nodded.

Following professional ethics, he took out the goods he wanted to sell after answering the questions as usual.

But soon, he was ruthlessly "abandoned" for the second time.

"Deng deng deng"

Mitsuhiko's hand knocked twice on the half-open door.

"Is anyone there? Am I coming in?"

He put his head in and took a look. The dark shop in front of him didn't look like anyone was there.

Although he was a little scared, Mitsuhiko encouraged himself in his heart.

I mustered up the courage to step into this store.

He reached out to turn on the lights in the store, but unexpectedly the lights didn't respond.

"Is it broken?" He raised his head, glanced at the light bulb above his head, and reluctantly took out a small flashlight to illuminate the place in front of him.

The light brought by the flashlight calmed his mood a little.

There are two rows of display cabinets in the small store.

Looking at the appearance of the gems on the display cabinet, Mitsuhiko turned on the lamp to compare them one by one.

Until his footsteps stopped at one place.

The gems in the photo overlap with the gems in the showcase, but for some reason, there seems to be something written next to the gems.

Just as Mitsuhiko was about to get closer, the sudden sound of footsteps made his hand shake and the flashlight fell to the ground.

He bent down and picked up his flashlight with one hand.

"for you."

The long-haired man in front of him had a hoarse voice, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

With an indistinguishable face and long hair, Mitsuhiko thought for a moment that he was seeing a woman.

If there is no Adam's apple.

"Thank you," Mitsuhiko took the flashlight from his hand and looked at the person in front of him cautiously.

However, nothing was seen.

"Excuse me……"

Mitsuhiko was about to take out his notebook, but the next second his question was interrupted by a sentence from the long-haired man.

"Why did you come to my store?"

With a thump in his heart, Mitsuhiko felt that his legs were a little stiff.

It was illegal to come in privately like this, but he still pretended to look around, and then imitated Conan and made up a lie in a second.

"I came here to see my friend. I was playing hide and seek with my friend."

The long-haired man's expression changed slightly, and he just said calmly, "No one is coming to my store today, you can leave." "

"Yeah." Mitsuhiko nodded.

However, after taking a few steps, his feet seemed to step on something.

Mitsuhiko lowered his head in confusion and picked up the badge with the Youth Detective Corps logo on the ground.

Just as he was wondering, a veil covered his mouth.

The man with a normal expression leaned over and leaned against his ear.

The hoarse voice reached his ears, sending a shiver down his spine.

"It seems you discovered me."

As his pupils shrank, Mitsuhiko's limbs were dancing in the air.

However, no matter how hard he struggled, he could never break free from the hands that imprisoned him.

Until finally, his figure was dragged into the darkness.

……

I am an ordinary middle-aged uncle who faces life optimistically.

Running a small business.

The famous saying in life is: never let any guest go.

The person in front of me is the third potential customer I met today.

The uncle in the white towel looked at the triangular rice ball standing in front of him. Although he couldn't tell whether this little guy had money, since the guest was delivered to him, he couldn't let it go without saying anything.

This time, before Yuanta could speak, he quickly took out the signboard from his store.

"Look at the quality of it. It's definitely good. It's a good thing to take out. Since you're just a kid, I won't sell you too much. I can give you a discount if you buy it now."

Yuantai shook his head and looked at the price above, then thought of something and shook his head.

"I don't buy it."

"Why? Is it a matter of price? I also have better-looking beads here."

For fear that the customer would leave, the white towel uncle tried his best and took out another box of dazzling gems.

"Look at these, little girls like these now. As long as you buy these for little girls, they will definitely be popular in school."

Yuantai hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head under the uncle's expectant gaze.

"But……"

"But?"

"But I'm also going to use the money to buy eel rice."

Choking at these words, the uncle staggered and almost fell to the ground.

And soon, the detective badge on Yuantai's collar glowed.

The third time, the third time today!

The uncle in the white towel looked at his guests running away and shed tears on his back.

After trotting all the way to a quieter place, Genta connected the communication of the detective badge.

Just as he was about to speak out, a hoarse male voice came from the other end of the badge.

"You can't run away, kid."

He had never heard this voice before.

But for some reason, he subconsciously closed his mouth.

The sound of sharpening a knife on the other side of the badge was clear.

It was as if the owner of that voice was sitting next to him.

"Uncle, please let us go. We are just children and we will never tell anyone."

The girl's voice sounded familiar, like Ayumi speaking.

There was some crying in the words, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the same echo from Mitsuhiko.

At this time, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi, who were being tied up with ropes, looked at the man sharpening the knife in front of them, and their two small faces turned pale under the light.

Mitsuhiko also guessed something in his mind.

The switch was actually turned off when he entered this place.

He had long been wary of the long-haired man in front of him.

Thinking like this, he tightened his grip on the detective badge hidden in his hand.

Although the two unreachable people cannot be relied upon at the moment, Yuantai can still be contacted.

He could only pray in his heart at this time, praying that Yuanta would call the police quickly and find someone else to come and save them.

But soon, the sound of sharpening the knife in front of him stopped.

The long-haired man laughed miserably at this moment, and for a moment he looked like Sadako under the incandescent light.

"Now, I can give you a minute so you can state your last wishes."
