Conan: The story that cats and wineries have to tell

"Takagi? Takagi! What's your voice over there! Hearing

the abrupt halt on the phone and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Officer Sato had a bad premonition in his heart.

And when the phone was hung up by the other side, this sense of foreboding reached its peak.

Something may have happened to Takagi.

Looking at Officer Sato, who was standing in place, Mitsuhiko couldn't help but reach out and push her.

"Didn't Officer Takagi leave with Officer Shiratori? Call Officer Shiratori.

Being pushed by Mitsuhiko like this, Officer Sato also reacted and hurriedly dialed Officer Shiratori's number.

"Officer Shiratori, was Officer Takagi with you all the time?"

Officer Sato didn't wait for Officer Shiratori to finish talking about what was going on there, and he interrupted him in an anxious tone.

"Takagi, yes, we were together four or five minutes ago, but now that kid doesn't know where he went."

Hearing this answer, Officer Sato's face suddenly turned pale, and an indescribable fear permeated his heart.

After taking two deep breaths to force himself to calm down, Officer Sato spoke quickly but clearly.

"You hurry up and report the time and place where you last saw him to the headquarters of the main office, Takagi was attacked, just when you called me just now, the other party is likely to be the arsonist, you also need to pay attention to safety."

After saying all the news in one breath and making sure that Officer Shiratori had memorized them all, she hung up the phone.

"But wasn't Officer Takagi attacked when he called you about the case 18 years ago? Why would Officer Sato think he was an arsonist?

Mitsuhiko's expression was very confused, shouldn't the person who attacked him be the murderer of that case eighteen years ago?

"He's already said he's not sure if his inference is correct, besides, that case has already passed the prosecution period three years ago, and the murderer in that case has no reason to attack Takagi, even if we know who the murderer is, we can't do anything about him."

Maybe it's because the matter has already been reported, and Officer Sato has the patience to explain.

"I remember that the prosecution period can be extended..."

Banxia raised his hand and prompted.

"Extended..."

Officer Sato was stunned for a moment, lost in thought.

"If the prisoner leaves Japan during the prosecution period, that period of time will not be counted."

Xiao Ai clasped her hands on her chest and explained the meaning of Banxia to Officer Sato.

As soon as he said this, the thoughtful look on Officer Sato's face became even stronger.

"The four people we met at the intersection said they were going to have dinner together at a familiar tavern in the evening, Officer Sato, do you know where that tavern is?"

Conan looked up, his expression a little solemn.

Officer Sato, who came to his senses, muttered.

"The Nanagari Tavern, located in front of Shinagawa Station—"

Officer Sato stopped talking, digging through his pocket and shoving a pile of coins into Conan's hand.

"I'm going to Shinagawa Station, you guys take the train home first, and then come back to the main hall tomorrow to take notes."

As soon as he said this, Banxia suddenly became unhappy, how could he get rid of me at such a time?

"Although you say this, it seems that the person who attacked Officer Takagi is sure to be one of the four people, but it cannot be ruled out that the perpetrator is indeed the arsonist."

Banxia's righteous words seemed to have completely forgotten who started to make the four of them more and more suspicious.

"That's right, shouldn't you bring Ayumi the only one who has ever seen the appearance of an arsonist at this time?"

Xiao Ai pushed Ayumi out and began to cooperate with Banxia.

"This..."

Officer Sato hesitated, rationally speaking, he should bring Ayumi with him, but emotionally speaking, he didn't want to put this group of children in danger.

"We're not going to get in trouble."

The three of them surrounded Officer Sato in the middle.

"Then you have to make sure that you are obedient."

Officer Sato held out her finger, she didn't have time to waste time here with this group of children.

"We promise!"

The six shouted in unison.

Officer Sato looked at their sincere eyes and waved his hand.

"Get in the car, every minute we delay, Takagi is likely to be more dangerous."

Accompanied by the cheers of the children, Officer Sato's car roared towards Shinagawa Station.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a tavern.

"Officer Sato, let's get in quickly."

Motota excitedly slapped the seat under his buttocks.

"No, I'll go in by myself, and you'll wait in the car."

Officer Sato took a deep breath and was mentally prepared, then opened the car door and walked into the izakaya.

"What, I hate it."

Yuan Tai instantly became depressed, but he still sat honestly in his seat.

But there was a different atmosphere in the back seats.

"Ashbar, what are you doing?"

Mitsuhiko, who was lying on the back of the driver's seat and watching out of the car window, was attracted by Ayumi's voice, and saw Xiao Ai pull out an atlas from behind the co-pilot's seat.

"Anyway, it's just waiting for someone, I want to take advantage of this time to check the previous arson point again, maybe I can guess where the next arson point is."

As he spoke, Xiao Ai turned to the page of the map of Tokyo.

"Do you remember the previous arson point?"

Xiao Ai looked up at Banxia.

"I only know a few locations before and after, which are Ikebukuro, Asakusabashi, Tabata, Shimokitazawa, and finally Yotsunoya, which we just went to. I don't know if it's any more specific.

Banxia shrugged his shoulders, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

"I know I know, these arson cases are happening near the stations in these places."

Mitsuhiko added for Banxia.

Following the order that Banxia said just now, Xiao Ai circled these places one by one with a red pen.

"It's just an ordinary trapezoid, and I don't see any special meaning at all."

Xiao Ai frowned, could it be that her inference was wrong?

"I look a bit like a tadpole on my side."

"No, it's a little more like a spoon."

"Spoon... Could it be the Big Dipper? "

In the case of the Big Dipper, the spoon handle should be on the other side, and the prisoner should choose Bunkyo Station."

Banxia gestured the distance between the two points, shook his head, and pointed to another point.

"What about Conan? Conan, what do you have... Where did the others go?

Before Mrs. Yuan finished speaking, she found that a professional smuggling professional had disappeared again.

"I just sneaked into an izakaya after Officer Sato."

Banxia said that he had seen it clearly just now.

"Really, this guy is the best at golden cicadas."

Mitsuhiko drooped his eyelids and said angrily.

"Bastard, he must have followed up to steal good food, like eel rice and meat skewers."

Yuan Tai raised his hand and wiped his lips, and the more he spoke, the more annoyed he became.

"Yuantai, you guy's only eel and meat are left in your head."

Hearing Motota's words, Mitsuhiko couldn't help but complain.

"That's not good, if you don't eat greens, you'll die early."

Xiao Ai reached out to copy the red dots she had marked back and forth, while carelessly intimidating the child.

"Greens? Speaking of which, yesterday the man seemed to say that there was still a green vegetable and it was over or something.

Ayumi bit her fingers and said with some hesitation.

"How dare you say that our arsonist is still a vegetarian?"

Banxia couldn't help but roll her eyes, but Xiao Ai seemed to have grasped something.

"Greens? Appetizer? The Eve Festival? Wait, the Eve Festival?

Xiao Ai stretched out his finger again, slowly moving around the map, and finally stopped at a place name.

"Fire... Shinagawa Station..."

Banxia, who had been paying attention to Xiao Ai's movements, narrowed his eyes, it seemed that Xiao Ai had discovered the pattern.
