When Edogawa Conan arrived at Odano Station but didn't find the man in the black hat, he couldn't help but complain about his luck today.

He finally got to the edge of the black organization, but because of the scarcity of clues, the investigation progressed extremely difficultly. After going through a lot of hardships, he finally got some clues, but he lost the target again and again.

In desperation, Conan walked into a real estate company near Odano Station to find out where the counterfeit money group was hiding.

But after just a few questions, the middle-aged male employee treated him as a child who came to play detective games and ignored him.

Conan was wondering why the other party thought so, and the middle-aged male employee reminded him. He looked back and found that the five little guys who he thought he had successfully fooled home actually followed him - Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Toshiya, and Haibara Ai.

"Why are you guys here?" Conan looked at them in surprise.

Seeing that they had been discovered, the five people simply stood up and questioned Conan in person.

"Do you think we will be fooled as easily as before?" Kojima Genta looked at Conan with disdain.

"Conan, you love to sneak away the most!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was also very angry at Conan's attitude.

"How did you... find this place?" Conan was a little flustered.

"It was a member who reminded us, so we followed." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya pointed at Ai Huihara.

Ai Huihara, who was pointed at, ignored everyone and picked up a building information magazine and read it by herself.

"She said, Conan, you want to get rid of us and chase that person by yourself." Ayumi Yoshida relayed Ai Huihara's analysis to Conan.

"Ah?" Conan was a little surprised when he heard Ayumi's words. He didn't expect that the trick he used to deceive these three little guys before was actually seen through by a new transfer student this time.

While Conan was in a daze, Shunya learned from the communication with the middle-aged male employee that there was a bookstore owner nearby who looked very much like Natsume Soseki. Finally, they got a new clue. The six real and fake elementary school students planned to drag the middle-aged male employee away and lead the way to the bookstore opposite the Lianhe Building.

When they finally found the bookstore and were about to go in, they were suddenly stopped from behind.

"Hey, you little brats, come here!"

The six elementary school students suddenly stiffened and turned their heads to see Maori Kogoro with an angry face, Maori Ran with a worried face, and Jiono Taro with a calm face. The three of them stood at the door of the Otoma Police Station and looked at them.

"Ah! It's Detective Maori, Xiaolan sister, and Taro brother!" Ayumi shouted in surprise.

Conan saw the appearance of these three people, with a confused look on his face, muttering in his heart: Why are they here?

When Huiyuan Ai saw Jiono Taro, a trace of panic flashed in his heart, thinking: Why is this person everywhere? Could it be that he has been following us since the convenience store?

Just when the elementary school students were still confused, three gunshots suddenly came from the Renhe Building.

Everyone was frightened and trembled, and they all looked up at the Renhe Building.

Conan was shocked: What is going on?

The four real elementary school students were frightened by the gunshots and screamed and messed up.

"Why don't you come over?" Jiono Taro shouted loudly. He was the fastest to react among the crowd because he knew in advance that the criminals were carrying guns.

As the gunshots sounded, many invisible and intangible emotional particles emanated from the people around him, and then rushed to Jiono Taro.

Maori Kogoro also came back to his senses after hearing Jiono Taro's shouting, and hurriedly shouted to several elementary school students: "Come over!"

Hearing the shouts of the adults, the four elementary school students who were frightened by the gunshots seemed to have found support and ran over.

Seeing this, Conan Edogawa and Ai Huihara also hurriedly followed.

Seeing six elementary school students running over, Ran Maori hurriedly met them and squatted down to comfort the children. Maori Kogoro quickly stood in front of Ran Maori to protect her.

"Sister Xiaolan, what happened?" Conan asked anxiously.

At this moment, Ran Maori was full of worries about the Renhe Building and the panicked children, so she didn't care to answer Conan's questions.

Seeing that Ran Maori didn't respond, Taro Jionno took the initiative to explain: "I called them."

"What? Brother Taro, you called Uncle Kogoro and Sister Xiaolan here?" Conan looked at Taro Jionno in surprise, and then asked, "Then why are you here, brother Taro?"

"I saw you say that the black-hatted man was a counterfeit banknote user at the convenience store. Seeing that you all caught up with him, I was worried about your safety, so I followed him." Taro Jionno explained.

"What?"What? Brother Taro, were you in the convenience store at that time?" Conan was stunned. He didn't remember this at all.

But he quickly recalled that he was indeed attracted by the black-hatted man who used counterfeit money at that time, and he did seem to hear Ayumi and the others chatting with someone. It turned out that the man was Taro Jiono.

However, Conan had other questions in his mind, and he quickly asked: "What about the gunshots in the building?"

Taro Jiono glanced at the quiet Renhe Building and replied: "That should be Officer Sato and Officer Takagi exchanging fire with the counterfeit money gang."

"What? The counterfeit money gang is in this building? "Conan was even more shocked when he heard the news. This place is next to the police station. What kind of criminal is so arrogant? And why are Officers Sato and Takagi here? How many things happened here that he didn't know about?

Looking at the puzzled expression on Conan's face, Taro Jouno had already guessed what he was thinking. Without waiting for Conan to ask, Taro Jouno said directly: "I also called Officer Sato. I told Officer Sato about the black-hatted man entering this building, and she took Officer Takagi and two policemen from the Owatoma Police Station up."

"But..." After listening to Taro Jouno's explanation, Conan got some answers to his doubts, but he had new doubts, "Brother Taro, didn't you follow us all the time? How did you run ahead of us?"

Taro Jouno had already prepared the answer to this question. He smiled and said, "Well, it's because your legs are too short."

"Ah?" Conan heard this answer, and his eyes instantly turned into small eyes, "Legs are too short? "

"Yeah, you walked too slowly and lost the person, so I had to catch up by myself." Jyouno Taro spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

"I'm really sorry..." Conan was speechless. He was a little kid with short legs and lost the suspect. He was really sorry!

After comforting the children, Mao Lilan heard Conan's words and couldn't help complaining: "Conan, you really don't care about anything when you encounter a case. You are exactly the same as that arrogant detective! If Taro hadn't notified us to come over, did you plan to rush directly to the armed kidnapper? "

Conan couldn't help but sweat on his forehead after hearing this, and he didn't dare to answer. He knew that the "arrogant detective" mentioned by Mao Lilan was referring to himself, Fuji Shinichi.

Just as several people were talking, a group of people walked out of the building next door and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Walking in the front was the heroic Sato Miwako, who was escorting a woman in black clothes and brown hair.

Following closely were Takagi Wataru and two policemen, who were escorting several dejected kidnappers. And at the end, a young man who looked a bit like Toshiya appeared.

When Toshiya saw the young man, the horror on his face quickly turned into surprise. He ran over without hesitation and shouted loudly: "Brother~"

"Toshiya~" The young man saw Toshiya and also showed a surprised expression. He quickly squatted down and hugged Toshiya tightly in his arms.

This warm scene of brothers reuniting moved everyone present.
