Chapter 46: The Promise between Takagi and Date’s Notebook (10)

Alan continued to provide clues: "Then I could see a swimming pool on the top floor of the building, with many children swimming in it."

After listening to this, Conan quickly analyzed: "I see. The fact that you can see the morning and evening sun means that the room is at the corner of the building. And the children are swimming in the rooftop pool of the elementary school, and we can see them swimming, which means that the place of confinement is probably on the 4th floor. Because most buildings are 3 stories high, you can only see the rooftop swimming pool from the 5th floor or above. In other words, Yuji is imprisoned in a corner room on the 4th floor of a -story apartment or residential complex next to the elementary school with a rooftop swimming pool."

Officer Sato said with some embarrassment: "But there are elementary schools with swimming pools on the rooftops everywhere in Tokyo."

Mr. Amuro also frowned: "Indeed, is there no better information to pinpoint the location?"

Officer Takagi suggested, “For example, strange scenery or buildings, or things that can only be seen from a certain place.”

Conan continued to question Alan, hoping to find more clues: "Didn't you see any strange buildings or anything like that from the window of the room?"

Alan shook his head and said with some disappointment: "No."

Conan asked unwillingly, "What about when you got in the car? Were there any special sights or buildings?"

Alan thought for a moment and replied, "Parking, underground."

Conan immediately understood: "Underground parking lot?"

Mitsuhiko also joined the discussion: "So when you came out of the underground parking lot and onto the ground, didn't you see anything?"

Alan said with some regret: "No, the prisoner asked me to lie down as soon as I got on the car, so I didn't see anything."

Conan thought for a moment, then said, "In that case, the only thing you can see from the car window is the sky."

Alan suddenly remembered something, and he said excitedly: "When I go out, I can see the sky and Marron's silo from the car window!"

Jimei asked curiously, "Silo in marron? Does marron refer to chestnut?"

Yuantai used his imagination: "A castle made of chestnuts?"

Mitsuhiko also joined the discussion: "What a fairy tale..."

Ai Haibara corrected them with a smile: "No, it's not. In French, marron means brown, and silo means a silo for grazing grass." As she spoke, she found a photo of the silo on her phone and showed it to Alan.

Alan replied happily: "Yes, that's it!"

Yoshimi praised Haibara Ai's French skills: "Ai is amazing!"

Yuanta looked at the photo of the silo and still thought it looked like a castle: "But this one really looks like a castle!"

Mitsuhiko joked: "Yeah, if we put a flag on it, it will really be a castle!"

When Alan heard the word "flag", something suddenly occurred to him. He said, "Flag...flag. Rouge's flag."

Conan immediately asked: "Rouge flag? Do you mean the red flag?"

Alan nodded in confirmation: "Yes, there is a croissant painted on it."

Conan was a little confused: "There are croissants on the red flag? What's going on?"

At this point, Ayumi suggested a possible explanation: "If there's a flag with a croissant on it, isn't that the logo of the bakery?"

Yuan Tai asked curiously: "Is croissant the name of bread?"

Mitsuhiko explained: "Yes, it's the crescent-shaped bread with a lot of butter."

Conan suddenly realized: "Yes, croissant means crescent moon in French. Alan, could it be that the flag you saw is like this..."

He quickly searched for relevant pictures on his phone and showed them to Alan: "Do you mean the Turkish flag?"

When Alan saw the picture, his eyes lit up: "Yes, that's it!"
