Can you escape Conan's anesthesia injection today?

Chapter 214. Exciting Racing 214
Because there were so many victims, a group of people conducted separate investigations in the stadium, and gathered together at noon to eat and share information.

But as expected, there were no clues of much value. We could only say that we had an intuitive idea of ​​the direction.

"The cleaning staff's work scope is divided into different areas. They cannot cover all the convoys involved. Moreover, they are responsible for cleaning the interior of the convoys themselves. The cleaning staff are only responsible for transporting the packed garbage." Because they were worried about being investigated by the security chief, the staff was questioned by Conan, who was not easy to alert. "The patrol routes of the security personnel will not enter the scope of each convoy, and they all travel in groups, so the chance of action is very small."

"If they were involved, it would be a collective behavior. From the summary information of the lost items, there is no obvious motive for the managers to be involved. I found that those who lost items on the first day were all strong competitors in the competition. I suspect that at the beginning some participating teams wanted to disrupt their opponents' status, but later perhaps other people took advantage of the situation. As more teams were affected, these things became known." Hattori Heiji and Yunogi Rina used their identities as detectives to separately go to the teams involved to learn some basic information.

Conan poked his head out to look at the map marked by Hattori Heiji and the others. There was indeed some correlation in the distribution of time and space. "Didn't the organizer of this competition also say that the funds are not much? The prize money for the competition is quite small. The prototype car category is sponsored by the car manufacturer, and the GT category will not be the main event. Can the competition be so intense?"

"That's right. We can only guess that the motive is related to these teams. As for the perpetrators, we have analyzed it before. The members of each team are too big a target. Coincidentally, the day when the items were stolen was the day when the TV station came to interview. These teams are all star teams with high attention, so it is normal for the TV station to put their interviews at the forefront. Other teams have also been interviewed later, but the order is relatively scattered, and some teams can't even explain when they lost the items. We didn't focus on this when we first asked, and they also responded briefly. I plan to focus on asking whether there is a similar time sequence between the time they lost the items and the time of the interview. If the correlation is high enough, it may be that the whole process was done by the TV station team members."

"I think your interpretation of dividing all the incidents into different stages is correct. In fact, I heard some staff members talking about a security guard who used to be a dirty guy. He often went in and out of the police station before he became an adult. No one knows whether he has really changed after he became an adult. Some people suspect that he has returned to his old ways in this incident, but after reporting it to his supervisor, the supervisor did not say whether he would fire him."

Thinking of the supervisor's strange attitude, Yonogi Rina perked up. People always like to listen to gossip. "Is the supervisor his relative? He doesn't want us to find out the truth in order to protect him? This seems to make sense."

Conan shook his head. "I heard that his family is not well off, so some colleagues spoke up for him, thinking that he only stole to support himself, and now that he has a job, he will naturally change. We shouldn't accuse others without evidence. We must give people a chance to reform, otherwise we are forcing those who are unfortunate to commit crimes again."

"That makes sense. Although motives are difficult to determine, I agree that motives should be considered when sentencing. We should still give some people a chance. Some people initially commit crimes because they are influenced by their surroundings. If we give them a path to move forward, they can live well on their own. However, due to the broken windows effect, people with criminal records are more likely to commit crimes again." Yonogi Rina agreed, "Then you mentioned this person because there must be something that makes you suspicious."

Considering that he still had this layer of elementary school student disguise, Conan explained this analysis in a more childish way, "Because I talked to this older brother, if it's according to what these people said, this job should be a good thing for him, and everything can start over, but he looks the kind of person who makes people sad at first glance."

Haibara Ai almost couldn't eat because of what she heard. Xiaolan was also speechless. She never knew this guy could be so reckless. It wasn't her fault that she couldn't confirm Conan's identity before. Even when Shinichi was in kindergarten, he was still pretending to be an adult all day long.

Wu Liang Tao Sha, who didn't understand the situation, had a satisfied expression when looking at other people's children. She was thinking about asking who the child's parents were and what kind of genes and education could create such a cute child. Only by understanding clearly could she know how likely it was that she would fail in raising children. She couldn't let the desire to reproduce overwhelm her reason when she saw an outstanding child!

Conan continued his narration, "And according to what his colleagues said, he should be very grateful to the security director who recruited him. But when I asked him if it was a good job here and that I wanted to work at a racetrack when I grow up, he said very seriously, judging from my accent, I think I'm from Kanto. Then I should ask about the racetracks in Kanto. My family would never want their children to work so far away from home."

Hattori Heiji, "He sounds like a rare adult who can speak seriously to children. My impression of him has improved. Is it because he has just become an adult?"

Conan bared his teeth at his friend, completely understanding the other's ridicule of his current elementary school appearance. "Then I asked him what their leader was like. I heard that the concept of superiors and subordinates in the workplace is always serious. Is their leader the same? He replied that it's the same for everyone. There's nothing different. His tone was like coaxing a child, and he said it in a relaxed manner, but at the same time he frowned very badly. It seems that he has a bad impression of the security director."

What Conan couldn't mention in front of everyone was that when they heard the conversation between the two colleagues, he saw a deeper sadness on the young man's face, like the despair of never being able to get out of the quagmire in his life. Regardless of whether it was related to this strange theft case, he suspected that the young man had done something wrong again, and the supervisor who didn't want the detective to investigate was probably aware of it or even the coercer.

"So I also want to find out more about that brother. He looks like he's troubled and might need help from others."

"This guy who doesn't want us to investigate doesn't look like a good guy." Yono Juraina didn't know the truth, but it would be strange if the person targeted by the little detective was a good person. "Then one of you continues to look for the staff, and the other continues to ask the various motorcades for information. I'll go find out about the members of the TV crew?"
