Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

Xia Chuan seemed to have done nothing last night. Apart from seeing the other person once at the door, he did not go to the crime scene afterwards, nor did he see the other person at Gin on the rooftop, and he was not on the hotel's check-in list.

So, he didn't come here just to see Tunkou Shigehiko, right?

Then you left after seeing the other person die?

The Thorn Princess's side is also suspicious, but Gin said that Shirley installed the monitoring device in his car after 3:30 in the afternoon.

Even if Shirley knew that Pisk was going to kill someone and came over to do something, she would not be able to find out the distribution of signal lines of the surveillance equipment of the Rice Flower Hotel so quickly.

It can be said that there is very little doubt about both.

But the possibility is only between these two, there is no other possibility.

"Manager, there is something I need you to handle."

The voice of the front desk lady came from the intercom, interrupting Toru Amuro's thoughts.

The voice sounded a little anxious, and it was obvious that something had happened at the front desk that the other party could not handle.

Put your doubts aside for the time being and go to the front desk.

Before he got close, Toru Amuro heard a man standing at the front desk shouting loudly, and the words were very intense, as if there was some dispute going on.

"I just want to check the surveillance. Why can't I do that?"

"what's going on?"

Toru Amuro looked at the other person carefully. The man had slightly dark skin, a hat on his head, a camera bag on his waist, and his complexion did not look good. There were bloodshot eyes, and it seemed that he did not sleep well the night before.

"who are you?"

The man grumbled, and his eyes lit up when he saw the nameplate on Amuro Toru's chest.

"You are the lobby manager, right? I want to report you!"

"report?"

To be honest, Toru Amuro felt that this person looked a little familiar. If he remembered correctly, this person also participated in director Sakamaki's memorial service yesterday!

He remembered that this guy had been staring at a man and a woman and taking pictures from the very beginning. If he remembered correctly, they were the two people in the front of the photo that exposed the murderer.

Well, if that's the case, then Piske would have fallen into the hands of this paparazzi, right?

Logically speaking, they should be overjoyed to have taken such a photo, so how could this happen? Did the newspaper not pay them? The hotel had no control over this matter.

"Sir, who do you want to report?"

"I met a thief here yesterday and he stole my film!"

Amuro Toru said "Huh" lightly, became interested, and invited the person to his office for a talk.

The man sat down and immediately stood up again, saying hurriedly, "Someone stole my film yesterday in the lobby lounge. Your hotel needs to give me an explanation for this. How can such a big hotel condone a thief? You must find that person for me!"

Amuro Toru pressed down her hand to signal the other party to be patient, and some guesses arose in her mind.

He picked up the newspaper left by the previous manager and pointed to the photo on the front page. "Is this photo in the film you lost?"

The man suddenly became excited, his eyes were red and his face was ferocious.

“It’s this photo. After the incident happened yesterday, I wanted to leave and sort out the photos I took and send them to the newspaper, but when I got home, I found that the film was missing!

I thought about it, after I finished taking the photos and came out of the scene, when I passed by the lobby lounge, someone tripped me. That person must have done it on purpose! He wanted to steal my film."

"Do you remember what that person looked like?"

Amuro Toru was actually more excited than this person, but he remained expressionless.

If this person hadn't sent out the photo, Pisk probably wouldn't have been exposed so quickly.

"I don't remember much. I just remember that he was wearing a black coat. Because I was thinking about posting the photo when I got back, I stood up and turned around and left. I didn't pay attention to what he looked like."

The man calmed down at this time. "That's why I came to the hotel today. I wanted to check the surveillance. I remember there was a surveillance camera in the rest area. As long as we check the surveillance camera, we will definitely know the identity of that person."

"A black coat?"

Amuro Toru muttered something, then shook his head and said, "The hotel surveillance was broken last night. If you want to monitor it, I'm sorry, even the police didn't get the surveillance video from last night."

"How can it be......"

"This is a theft case. Perhaps you can contact the Metropolitan Police Department. The police have registered the names of people who entered the hotel last night. Maybe they can find some clues. Or you can ask the police to help you check the surveillance cameras of nearby convenience stores. Maybe they can find something."

Toru Amuro was indeed giving his advice seriously, and the man obviously believed what he said.

After seeing the man off, Toru Amuro came to the rest area.

"Black coat, always sitting in the lounge area."

He remembered that Xia Chuan was wearing a black coat when he arrived at the scene, but how did he know that reporters had taken pictures of Pisk?

"I was at the venue the whole time, and I didn't see Xia Chuan there at all..."

"and many more!"

Toru Amuro was suddenly stunned, and a flash of inspiration came to him!

He did leave for a while.

It was the time when Conan and Haibara Ai were sent away from the venue!

If Xia Chuan happened to enter the venue at this time, it is indeed possible that he did not see him.

"Could it be that at that time, Xia Chuan mixed into the crowd and saw Pisk shooting and killing people?"

As far as he could remember, when the venue got dark shortly after he entered, if the other party had sneaked in at that time, he might not have noticed it.

If I remember correctly, there was indeed a flash of light when he returned to the scene. I hadn't noticed it before, but now I think it might have been at that time.

Xiachuan's target was also Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi. He probably just noticed Pisker killing someone, and found out that someone might have filmed the scene, and then carried out the subsequent actions.

But what is the other party's purpose? What benefit will it bring to Xiachuan if Pisk is arrested? Is it really for the performance of the IRS?

Can't figure it out.

"Sister, sister..."

The clear voice of a child reached Toru Amuro's ears.

Toru Amuro felt that the voice was familiar and turned to look.

A blue suit, a red bow tie, and a big head with big glasses. Oh my! Isn't this Conan, the culprit who made him miss Xiachuan?

If he hadn't been sent out, perhaps we would have known Xia Chuan's purpose and wouldn't have had to guess here.

"What's wrong, kid?"

Amuro Toru signaled the front desk to continue working, and he squatted down and looked at Conan: "Little boy, did you find your father yesterday, and come here today to thank your brother?"

Conan rolled his eyes when he found out that the other person was the waiter from yesterday.

If he had not been dragged out by the other party, he might have solved the case long ago. If someone was taking photos at the time, it would have been impossible for him not to notice it if he had been there. The source of everything was to blame on the waiter in front of him!

Huh, I got promoted?

Conan noticed that the name tag on the other person's chest had changed from waiter to lobby manager, and the whole person looked straighter than yesterday.

By the way, he was a waiter yesterday, so why is he the lobby manager today?

Conan became confused about the promotion mechanism of the Rice Flower Hotel.

Wait, now is not the time to think about all this nonsense.

Conan shook off his messy thoughts and asked in a cute childish voice, "Yes, but besides this, there is one more thing I need your help with, can you let me see the surveillance video from last night?"

When Conan saw Ania holding the camera this morning, he suddenly remembered that there were many surveillance cameras in the Beika Hotel, and maybe the surveillance cameras had captured the scene of Gin and his three companions.

If we can find out what the other two people look like and give them to Haibara Ai to confirm their identities, it will be of great help in catching the Black Organization in the future.

So, he sneaked out as soon as the first class was over.

"No!"

Amuro Toru waved his hand and refused: "The hotel's surveillance video is not available to everyone, and what happened yesterday."

Conan was well prepared and said confidently: "Actually, I am the son of the famous detective Maori Kogoro. After I went back yesterday, I told Uncle Maori about the matter. He also wanted to contribute to this case, so he asked me to come here to ask about the surveillance.

Uncle Maori is a famous detective known all over the country, brother should have heard of him, right?"

Kogoro Mouri is always successful, and Conan believes that as long as he mentions his reputation as a famous detective, the other party will definitely take him to get the surveillance footage.

However, he waited for almost a minute and found that the lobby manager in front of him did not respond at all. Thinking that the other party did not hear clearly, he repeated it again.

Toru Amuro still didn't give Conan the reaction he wanted.

It’s as if he doesn’t know Kogoro Mori.

"It shouldn't be."

Conan scratched his wise head, thinking that the other party might be frightened by the title of famous detective, and said quickly: "Don't worry, Uncle Maori has also been authorized by the Metropolitan Police Department. Giving the video to Uncle Maori is the same as giving it to the police. The Rice Flower Hotel must want to solve the case as soon as possible."

Toru Amuro rolled his eyes. What do you mean handing it over to the detective is the same as handing it over to the police?

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department can be in a bad state, but it can't be this bad! They can't find the real culprit in the case, but they actually ask the detective to solve the case. How can they win the trust of the people?

He was a little angry when he heard that the Metropolitan Police Department did not ask the security guard to check the surveillance. Now they directly sent a detective. How can he tolerate this?

His inherent sense of justice and legal awareness as a public security officer told him that this behavior was wrong.

The Metropolitan Police Department is incompetent and unable to find the murderer, but they are also not free to let the detectives get involved or even take the clues home directly.

"No, the law stipulates that surveillance in public places must comply with the principle of confidentiality."

Toru Amuro refused again.

Although there was no surveillance, this did not prevent him from instilling correct legal thinking in the child: "If I give the video to Mr. Maori, I will be harming him! If reporters find out, they may accuse the Metropolitan Police Department of inaction. You don't want Uncle Maori to have a falling out with the Metropolitan Police Department because of this, do you?"

Conan walked out of the Rice Flower Hotel in a daze. Even after being fed a mouthful of legal knowledge, he still did not give up.

I just happened to see the fire map, and the location of the monitoring room was marked. Now I can just enter the hotel from the back door, bypassing the lobby manager who keeps saying good things to Uncle Maori, and go directly to the monitoring room to steal the surveillance!

Conan walked around and slipped in through the back door.

Following the map in my memory, I found the location of the monitoring room.

Click.

The door of the monitoring room was not locked. The security guard inside heard the sound of the door opening and turned around. Before he could see who opened the door, he suddenly felt a mosquito bite on his neck. A feeling of soreness and weakness began to spread, and double vision gradually appeared in his eyes.

After a moment, the security guard lay on the ground like a dead pig.

Conan carefully stepped past the security guard, came to the surveillance computer and started checking.

"Strange, why is the surveillance only up to this morning? What about yesterday?"

After rewinding several times, the time in the upper right corner always shows today, and if I go back further, the screen is black.

Conan tried to move the progress bar to the front and found that the monitoring was normal again!

The surveillance seemed to have started to malfunction at 6:30 last night, which was probably when he appeared here.

"Damn it! The Black Organization must have destroyed the surveillance in advance!"

I originally wanted to see who the two men and women with Gin were, but now it's been a wasted trip.

"As expected of Gin, he's the kind of guy who would blow up his own car. I actually thought he would leave behind this huge bug in the surveillance footage!"

The result was not satisfactory, but Conan had no choice but to accept it and leave in disappointment.

Not long after he left, Toru Amuro slowly appeared in the monitoring room.

"Edogawa Conan..."

Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes, and the other party's information emerged in his mind.

She suddenly appeared in Kogoro Mori's house a few months ago. She is a distant relative of Dr. Agasa and her mother's name is Edogawa Fumiyo.

It’s hard to imagine how a child could be so smart.

In this case, it turns out that Kogoro Mori is not a simple person.

But why did he choose such a strange title as the Sleeping Detective?

"Well, it's worth investigating."
