Conan's other me

Chapter 64

The soundproofing of the phone booths is good.

There was no one around either.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hey?"

"Megure Police Department, it's me."

"Shinichi?" Megure Police Department, who was still working overtime, skillfully lowered his voice, and continued after walking a little further, "What's wrong?"

Brother Kudo's call must be related to the case...

"It's like this," Fengyuan said, "Conan told me about a disappearance case. I'm a little interested in it, so I called to ask."

Although he was busy with work, it was Kudo's younger brother's call after all, so Megure Police Department took it very seriously, and listened carefully to the phone and briefly explained what "Conan" had learned.

Meguro Police Department soon got a little impression.Although he didn't follow up on this job of finding someone, there were so few clues that he could easily remember all the clues.

"I suspect it has something to do with the manufacture of counterfeit banknotes." After exchanging information, Feng Yuan said.

"What? Counterfeit money!?"

"Yes." Fengyuan explained, "Conan found a portrait of Natsume Soseki painted by the client in the client's room. This painting was painted after a photo, and it was very realistic. It was sent for exhibition and attracted the special attention of a woman in black."

"The person disappeared shortly thereafter."

Feng Yuan continued to talk, Hui Yuan Ai looked at him and listened with interest.

"Considering that Natsume Soseki is printed on the [-]-yen banknote, I thought it might be related to the case of making counterfeit banknotes."

"Then what do I need to do?" Mumu Police Department was very conscious.

"I called to see if the police had any clues," Fengyuan said. "A woman with a dark body who likes to wear multiple necklaces is combined with making counterfeit banknotes... Can the police think of anything?"

The Mumu Police Department froze for a moment.

...In that case, he is too familiar with it.

"Silver Fox? This woman is a habitual criminal who makes counterfeit banknotes." Mu Mu police department said with a hint of complaints, "She has been caught several times, and she always dresses like this."

"This guy is different from her peers. She always likes to make counterfeit banknotes in the urban area, so she is often caught," Mumu Police Department continued, "But every time she was caught before she succeeded, and the money she got was not as much as she spent on buying equipment."

"It's also because of this that she was released again not long after each time. Why, Shinichi, she did it again this time?" Megure Police Department asked.

"Probably."

Brother Kudo said so, it should be...

"However, Shinichi, I don't know where she is now..."

It was too troublesome to find someone, and brother Kudo happened to be there, so the Megure Police Department thought it would be better to ask directly.

"I do have some ideas."

"Oh?"

"The person concerned once called back and said that he was with someone who looked like Soseki." Feng Yuan said, which was what Lu Jun also said.

The Mumu Police Department nodded over the phone, and this was the only clue the police knew.

"This brings up the origin of the name Natsume Soseki - Soseki Pillow." Fengyuan continued, "Don't you usually rinse your mouth with water and use a stone as a pillow? Doing it the other way around means a rather weird person, which means eccentric."

"That's why that guy has been printing counterfeit banknotes in the urban area," Mumu Police Department seemed to realize, "instead of going to the suburbs where people can avoid people's eyes."

"Not only that. If you call back when you may be discovered by the kidnappers at any time, you will definitely try to tell your location. This means that the words of the person concerned are also hinting at his location, but they dare not say it clearly."

"And if it's just an urban area, it's obviously meaningless to say that. So... the location where he is may be even more weird." Fengyuan continued.

"Weirder?"

"Police Department, you just said that Silver Fox has been caught many times, and every time it is making counterfeit banknotes in the urban area, right?"

"Yes."

"This means that she still has a certain provocative mentality towards you." Fengyuan paused, "So, the police department, can I trouble you to ask the police stations in the jurisdiction to see if there is any place near them that needs to use a printing machine, such as a newspaper office?"

Although Huiyuan Ai couldn't hear the voice on the other side of the phone, Fengyuan was basically talking on the phone, and the Mumu Police Department was listening, so she still understood the whole picture.

No wonder he was able to save his sister from Gin...

Feng Yuan hung up the phone and saw Hui Yuan Ai was distracted.

But Fengyuan didn't bother her to continue distracting, because his business was obviously not over yet.

Halfway through the phone call, he knew that new troubles were coming.

Opening the door of the phone booth, Fengyuan came out.

Conan was standing opposite him, looking at him with a very strange expression.

There was Conan in the front, and Haibara in the back...

"Did you call the police?" Conan asked.

"Hmm." Feng Yuan blinked innocently.

"As soon as I turned around and saw you disappeared, I knew it. You must have secretly called the police again."

"So I turned around and looked for the phone booth," Conan continued, "You're not hiding it at all, it's right where we just passed."

"If you keep it from you, it will be troublesome if you also call the Megure police department." Fengyuan explained.

"Hehe." Conan looked back at Fengyuan with a dead eye, and then watched Huiyuan Ai also come out of the phone booth.

But Conan didn't say anything, but continued to ask about the Fengyuan case, "And then? Has the person been found?"

"No." Fengyuan replied, "I just ask Meguro Police Department for his help. If there is any progress," Fengyuan paused, "he will call Edogawa Conan."

He just used the phone in the phone booth, so it’s not good to wait here all the time, so he asked the Megure police department to inform Conan if there is any progress, and then Conan would tell Shinichi.

Of course, the latter step is not important.

Conan was a little helpless, but felt that he was almost used to it.

Humans are such creatures.

"Where are they?" Fengyuan asked, obviously referring to Ayumi and others.

"I told them that the two of you would be back soon, and asked them to wait in a nearby fast food restaurant," Conan explained as he walked, Feng Yuan and Hai Yuanai followed, "Then I slipped out with the excuse of going to the bathroom."

Because he felt that since Fengyuan had gone to the police, the result of the case was probably settled, so Conan was not in such a hurry to let them go home.And this group of children were already tired, and they were very obedient, so Conan took the opportunity to come out to find Fengyuan.

On the way, Kaedehara briefly explained to Conan the conversation with the Megure Police Department, but Conan seemed to have other concerns, and was not as interested in the "woman in black" as before.

The three of them soon came to the fast food restaurant to join the boy and the group.
