Conan's other me

Chapter 138 In broad daylight
"Thank you very much! It was only with the help of you kids that I was able to get out of trouble." After successfully getting rid of the reporters, the foreign man expressed his gratitude to them, "People often say that I look like Mr. Hawke, but this is the first time I have been caught People have misunderstood it like this!"

"Then you might as well put on a disguise before going out in the future." Yuan Tai clasped her hands behind her head, making complaints as she walked.

Fengyuan felt that what Yuantai said made sense.

For example, Conan put on glasses, Kidd changed his hairstyle, Hattori Heiji changed his skin color...

Those who resembled him more or less had some differences to distinguish them.

Of course, he just thought about it and didn't comment on it.The elementary school students next to him chatted with the foreign man, who spoke Japanese very well.

"Did you like Paul and Annie's animal show?"

"Oh Yes! Their performance is really great! And..." The foreign man groped in his arms and took out something familiar to them to show them, "I want this thing very much, so I specially made it Come to Japan!"

He was holding the pendant that Ayumi had shown before. At this moment, he spread the lanyard with both hands and showed them the words "The Animal show with Paul Annie" on it.

"Ah... we also bought that pendant!"

"However, that pendant is sold all over the world and is very popular. Why did you come to Japan to buy it?"

"Look at the back of the pendant, it says 'Japan' on the back. So you have to come to Japan to buy it!"

"But isn't Mr. Hawke an American? The performance team is also American, right?" Fengyuan said, "Why must it be Japanese?"

"Ah... this is because I want to collect one of each style." The foreign man explained, and then changed the subject, "However, it was really bad luck to encounter that kind of thing just now! It made me unable to meet the friends I made an appointment with... "

"Did you see a man with long hair?" He turned to Dr. Ali.

"No, because there are too many people..." Dr. A Li responded, and then looked at Conan, "But you are really amazing, you actually know that he is not Mr. Hawke..."

"Because I heard what he said, Uncle Can is pronounced in Wan Guo Phonetic Alphabet instead of KK Phonetic Alphabet, right? That's the British pronunciation..."

Conan narrated his reasoning, which was similar to what Kaedehara explained to Haibara Ai before. As he narrated, Dr. Ali also remembered that the two people did have some differences in appearance, but for the Japanese, it is difficult to distinguish the subtleties of European and American races. Appearance difference is a more difficult thing.

The ingenious reasoning made the foreign man look at Conan in surprise, "How perceptive of you! My name is James Black, how about you?"

"My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a detective!"

"Edogawa...Conan?"

"Conan is not the only one who is a detective!" The elementary school students said proudly, Ayumi handed her detective team badge to the man who claimed to be James, "We are all members of the detective team!"

"Then you are all unofficial members of Baker Street?"

"Ok!"

"Not long ago we went to Baker Street in the game!"

"I was born on Baker Street! It seems that I should give a small gift to you unofficial members who rarely meet..." James said, "I know that there is a restaurant whose lunch is very delicious, so I will treat you to a big meal Stop it!"

"Great!"

The elementary school students readily agreed, and Dr. Li naturally would not object. James then asked, "Are you here by car?"

"Yes, there should be enough seats, and the children can squeeze a little..."

"OK! That's great," James seemed relieved, "I also rented a station wagon, but my driving skills are poor, so I'll trouble you... It's really hard to drive with the driver's seat on the right!"

"Huh?" Conan asked, "You're not used to driving on the right-hand seat. Doesn't that mean you don't live in England now?"

"Oh Yes!" James said, "I was born in London, the hometown of Sherlock Holmes, and grew up in Chicago, USA...the city where Capone is..."

The parking lot where Dr. Ali's car was located was nearby, so they chatted all the way there.

Hui Yuanai glanced at James in front of him, and then asked Feng Yuan in a low voice: "Do you have any feelings for that old man?"

"It's a little strange." Fengyuan replied, "The reason he claimed to come to Japan is too far-fetched, of course, it may be because I can't understand how much he likes... Your radar responds to him?"

"What radar?"

Hui Yuanai was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and gave him an annoyed look, "Don't use such a strange term... I didn't feel that he had that kind of aura..."

"Then why do you think he's not right?"

Since Hui Yuanai asked herself this way, it means that she must have a faint feeling that something is wrong.

"I don't know." Hui Yuanai thought for a moment, "Probably because he mentioned Capone just now..."

"When it comes to Capone in Chicago, people will think of Al Capone, the leader of the Chicago mafia more than half a century ago... It really seems to be referring to something."

Hui Yuanai agreed.

However, this kind of riddleman is not uncommon, and one cannot suspect that he is a member of a gang just because of this sentence, not to mention that the children seem to like him quite a bit.

After walking for a while, they found that James' rented car and Dr. Ali's car happened to be parked in the same parking lot, but the probability of this is not low, because there are only a few parking lots nearby that can be reached on foot.

James mentioned something when passing by the rented car, and then followed the crowd to the doctor's scarab car.

"Oh! Scarab! It's an old car—did you do it yourself? Looks like new."

Dr. Ali was a little happy. The other party seemed to be a very knowledgeable fellow, so he took James around the car and introduced him.

Feng Yuan looked back.

"what happened?"

Haibara, who noticed Fengyuan's movements, looked back and found two men in coats walking towards them, one of whom was wearing sunglasses and the other was wearing ordinary glasses.

Then the doctor and others also noticed that these two people were coming towards them, but this is not a deserted place, and the other party walked in an aboveboard manner, so they waited for a while.

Under the curious eyes of the primary school students, the two came directly to James.

"You rented a car, right?"

The man with ordinary glasses walked over and spoke to James, showing them the criminal police card in his right hand.

It seemed that the police uncle was handling the case, and it was not the familiar police officer Takagi or Sato. The elementary school students fell silent for a while, ready to listen to the case.

"Yes..." James froze for a moment, "I did rent a station wagon..."

"That's a stolen car!"

"Eh?"

"Oh, No!"

Everyone was a little surprised.

"The owner of the car reported the crime a week ago," said the man wearing sunglasses who looked like a policeman. "Someone saw you when you were parking and just remembered you..."

"We would like to ask where you rented the car and the situation at that time..."

"And your name, and the hotel where you're staying..."

"We are just asking roughly, please follow us to the police car..."

The two policemen spoke one by one, and then the one wearing sunglasses pointed to a small alley where they came, but there was no police car to be seen from this side, and the police car was probably parked on the other side of the alley.

"convenient?"

"Ah..."

James glanced at the children, seemingly hesitant.

Seeing that it was not a big deal, the elementary school students couldn't help defending James, who had just chatted all the way and became familiar.

"Uncle, he is not a bad person!"

"There are no bad people who like white lions!"

But the other party is obviously not as easy to talk to as Officer Takagi.

"Kids don't disturb the police handling the case!"

"Just asking about the situation," the man wearing sunglasses explained perfunctorily, "it won't waste too much time."

"Uncle, are you the police officers of the First Search Division?" Conan suddenly asked.

Hui Yuanai glanced at Feng Yuan, Feng Yuan nodded slightly.

"That's right," the other party replied casually, and then urged James impatiently, "Let's go!"
