Chapter 492: A Little Doubt About Life
More than half an hour later, the Kidnapper still hadn't returned, but the Police arrived first.
As soon as the two cars stopped steadily at the Street Corner, Kenzo Tsubame couldn't wait to open the Car Door and get out of the Car.
Chi Feichei also opened the Car Door and helped Akio Tsubame out of the Car.
"Akio!" Kenzo Tsubame ran over, squatted down, and hugged Akio Tsubame. For a moment, tears streamed down his face. "It's so good that you're alright!"
"Grandpa, I'm fine. Uncle Clown even played Video Games with me," Akio Tsubame said happily, then added childishly, "Brother Chi said you didn't eat Breakfast. Teacher says eating on time is good for your health. You must eat on time in the future and can't do this again. But it's also my fault. I was having too much fun and forgot the time to go home for dinner..."
Kenzo Tsubame wiped away his Tears, "Yes, yes, Grandpa will definitely eat on time in the future, and Akio must also go home on time..."
Inspector Megure stepped forward, "Brother Chi, where is the Kidnapper?"
"Not back yet," Chi Feichei opened the Back Seat Car Door. "Grandpa Tsubame, let's get in the Car first, don't let the Kidnapper run away."
"Okay!" Kenzo Tsubame took Akio Tsubame's hand and got into Da Shan Mi's Car.
Inspector Megure immediately turned around to arrange an Ambush and Capture. Two teams guarded Outside, and one team went into the Warehouse. Before leaving, he also tossed Conan and the four other Kids into the Car, "Brother Chi, I'll leave the Children to you. Take them away from here first!"
"Why?" Genta said unwillingly, "We also want to see how the Police Officer catch the Kidnapper."
"Yeah." Mitsuhiko Nodded.
"We won't make trouble!" Ayumi said.
"No!" Inspector Megure refused with Black Lines on Forehead.
"Akio also wants to see everyone play Hide-and-Seek with Uncle Clown," Akio Tsubame said.
"Huh?" Inspector Megure was a little Stunned, "Hide-and-Seek?"
Akio Tsubame looked at Chi Feichei, who had gotten into the Driver's Seat, and said seriously, "Brother Chi said that the people who came with Grandpa want to play Hide-and-Seek with Uncle Clown. If Uncle Clown goes in first, then the other Uncles will look for him. If the other Uncles go in first, then Uncle Clown will look for them. Akio can't give hints, just sit quietly in the Car and watch."
Conan chuckled dryly, Chi Feichei, that Fellow, really has a way with Children...
"No," Inspector Megure said with Black Lines on Forehead, "In short, you..."
"It's okay to watch for a while, everyone will be quiet," Chi Feichei said, "By the way, Inspector Megure, if he runs out, can I just hit him directly with the Car?"
Inspector Megure choked. He understood what Chi Feichei meant. If the other party ran out, having a Car at the Street Corner would indeed be convenient for Capture. But if so many of them couldn't catch a Kidnapper, then they might as well quit being Police Officer.
He was looking down on them too much!
Also, what the Ghost was with 'can I just hit him directly with the Car?'
"No, just block him," Inspector Megure said with a dark Face, turned around and walked towards the Alley, and pressed down his Hat. "But Brother Chi, you shouldn't have this opportunity. You should also trust our Police!"
"Sorry, I didn't mean that. I was overthinking it," Chi Feichei said.
"Uh, it's okay..."
Inspector Megure entered the Alley.
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta withdrew their Line of Sight and looked towards Chi Feichei.
This...
Inspector Megure agreed to let them stay?
Feeling like Brother Chi just did something...
Inspector Megure, who had entered the Alley, Realized.
Wait, why was he talking about Police strength with Chi Feichei?
No matter what the Reason, with their Police here, they can't let others take risks!
Moreover, thinking about it, Chi Feichei wasn't the kind of person who didn't trust the Police. Their Cooperation was quite pleasant, In Other Words...
Chi Feichei was Intentionally provoking him, using a Routine on him!
Inspector Megure just wanted to turn his Head to tell Chi Feichei to quickly drive away, but thinking that the Kidnapper might return at any time, alarming the other party might really let them Run Away, he could only silently enter the Warehouse.
Hmph, Excessive!
...
Alley Entrance.
Chi Feichei moved the Car back A Bit and said in a Low Voice, "Remember to be quiet, lie down later."
Conan occupied the Passenger Seat. Anyway, without that Haibara, the Passenger Seat was his.
A Group of Children Nodded in unison.
"Shh..."
"Shh..."
Conan turned his Head and Looked at the nervous A Group of Children, leaned over, approached Chi Feichei, and asked in a Low Voice, "Is it really okay for you to provoke Inspector Megure so much and let everyone stay?"
"The Kidnapper has a Car," Chi Feichei replied in a Low Voice.
Conan was Be Stunned for a moment, just about to Ask something, but was Interrupt.
"Conan..." Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi all aimed their eyes at Conan.
Akio Tsubame lowered his voice to remind him, "Older Brother, you're not allowed to talk anymore."
Kenzo Tsubame smiled beside them, seeing that his Grandson hadn't been left with any Psychological Trauma, that was good, that was good.
"Uh, got it," Conan obediently sat back in his Seat, "I won't talk anymore."
After about ten minutes, the sky was approaching Dusk, and a Car drove into the Street Corner and stopped in Front.
After a Man got out of the Car, he Looked left and right, put on a Clown Headgear, took two Plastic Bags filled with Things out of the Car, closed the Car Door, and turned to enter the Alley.
In the Rear Car, A Group of People lying on the Seats straightened up.
Akio Tsubame said in a Low Voice, "Is Uncle Clown back?"
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei responded, opened the Car Door and got out of the Car, "You guys stay seated."
"Huh?"
The three Children of the Junior Detective League were just about to 'rebel' when Chi Feichei stared at them coldly, making them Nod obediently.
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight with satisfaction, quietly walked to the Rear of the Car in Front, squatted down, fiddled with something, and then returned to the Car.
Conan: "..."
He saw clearly that Chi Feichei, that Fellow, had punctured someone else's Rear Tire...
In the Alley, the Clown walked to the Warehouse Entrance, very carefully turned his Head to Look at his Rear, saw that there was no one Outside the Alley, then took out the Key to open the Lock of the Warehouse Door. After entering the Door, he walked towards the Light, "Qiu Fu... I'm back! Qiu..."
There was no Qiu Fu, only A Group of big men whose Faces looked a little terrifying in the dim Light.
Footsteps also came from the Rear.
Inspector Megure waved his Hand, "Seize him!"
"Yes!" A Group of Police Officer swarmed up and directly pinned the Man down and handcuffed him.
Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of Relaxation. This Case was solved very easily, "Take him back!"
"Yes!" A Group of Police Officer took the Man out of the Warehouse.
The Stunned Clown then Realized that he had been Grabbed...
Outside the Alley, seeing the Police bringing the Man out, Akio Tsubame couldn't help but lean out of the Car Window, "Uncle Clown is so amazing, he found everyone so quickly!"
Clown: "…?"
Conan: "..."
Although according to the rules of Hide-and-Seek, it was like the Clown found everyone else, did this Child know that saying 'Clown is amazing' at this time was very sarcastic and also stabbed the Clown's Heart...?
Seeing the Clown being taken into the Car, Akio Tsubame retracted his Head back into the Car Window and asked with Doubt, "Where are they taking Uncle Clown?"
Chi Feichei started the Car to prepare to leave, and said without changing Face, "The Clown won Hide-and-Seek, and they are going to give the Clown a Reward."
"Also Correct, there should be a Reward for winning," Akio Tsubame Nodded and asked curiously, "Then Brother Chi, what Reward will Uncle Clown get?"
"A pair of Handcuffs, a set of Striped Clothes (Prison Uniform), and free food and accommodation." Chi Feichei drove the Car to follow the Car in Front.
"Wow! The Reward is so generous," Akio Tsubame exclaimed in amazement, "Uncle Clown must be very Happy!"
Conan: "..."
In the Back Seat, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko looked at each other and fell into Silence.
They Felt a strong Morbid Taste.
When Brother Chi is with them, he wouldn't also play with them like this, right?
It's just that their Age is a little older than Akio Tsubame, not so childish.
Suddenly, they had A Bit of Doubt About Life...
Streetside, Inspector Megure was preparing to have someone drive the Kidnapper's Car back.
Chi Feichei slowed down the Car Speed and reminded, "Inspector Megure, call a tow truck. I punctured the Tire just now."
Inspector Megure gave Half-Moon Eyes.
Was this because he was afraid the Kidnapper would Run Away by Car?
He Considered it so thoughtfully, really, Thank You.
...
Metropolitan Police Department.
Kenzo Tsubame accompanied Akio Tsubame to make a Written Statement, talking about the Process of Matters.
The three Children of the Junior Detective League watched the Excitement Aside. They just reported to the Police, just need to add a bit more.
Conan walked towards the Lounge, looked up at Wataru Takagi, who was standing at the Entrance hesitantly, "Police Officer Takagi, are you here to take Brother Chi's Written Statement?"
Look, Police Officer Takagi is so embarrassed by Chi Feichei, that Fellow's Written Statement.
Sigh, he should care about Police Officer Takagi.
"Uh, uhm..."
Wataru Takagi responded, took a deep breath, Lower Head and Looked at Conan, picked him up, entered the Door, and looked at Chi Feichei seriously, "Mr. Chi, I'm here to take a Written Statement."
Conan: "..."
Wait, why did he pick him up and bring him in?
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei took out a Map and Hand Over To Wataru Takagi.
Wataru Takagi took the Map with Doubt and Looked at it, A Bit not Understanding what the Circles and Lines on it meant, but he always had a bad Premonition.
"You Record it," Chi Feichei reminded.
"Oh, okay!" Wataru Takagi put the Map on the Table, and put Conan on the Seat Aside, closed the Door, took out a Notebook, sat opposite Chi Feichei, and By the Way blocked Conan's way out.
Conan thought for a while and didn't Run Away.
He was A Bit Curious about how Chi Feichei found Akio Tsubame.
"Last night's Commemoration Banquet, the Yan Family didn't attend. Our two families are a bit closer, so today I went to the Yan Residence with Mr. Oyama, and Grandpa Tsubame told me about Akio's Kidnapping," Chi Feichei took out a Paper, turned to Wataru Takagi's side, and Hand Over To Wataru Takagi in Front of him, "I made a Phone Call to the Hijacker once and asked these Problems above..."
Wataru Takagi Nodded, Looked at the Problems Recorded on the Paper.
Fortunately, although Chi Feichei was still too lazy to talk, at least he wrote down all the Problems, which could make the number of words in the Written Statement look a A Bit more normal.
Conan leaned over to Look Aside.
"I remembered the Building in Qiu Fu's Drawing, I've seen it before," Chi Feichei Point his Finger at the 'Signature Problem' and Pointed, then Find the Map that was pressed underneath, "After calculation, I locked down Qiu Fu's Location."
After Wataru Takagi finished Recording, he was Be Stunned for a moment, looked up at Chi Feichei, "N-Nothing else?"
"Police Officer Takagi, it's not that I'm not Cooperate, I haven't had Dinner yet, and..." Chi Feichei placed the Map and the Paper Slip recording the Problems side by side, "The known Conditions are there, the Process of solving the Question is there, the Answer is there, it shouldn't be difficult for the Police to Restore the calculation Process."
"I..." Wataru Takagi Looked at the Map with Circles and Strings drawn on it, Face Stunned.
Conan looked up at Chi Feichei Speechless.
Not difficult? He hasn't even figured it out yet.
"Conan..." Wataru Takagi cast a Gaze for help towards Conan.
"W-Well, Seemingly it's through Time Difference, calculating the Time for the Kidnapper to arrive at the Yan Residence from the Location. Also, Brother Chi should have deduced that the Kidnapper has a Car, because Akio should have been taken away at the Kindergarten Entrance. In order not to attract other people's attention, the Kidnapper had to take Akio away quickly, so he should have prepared a Car," Conan was A Bit unable to withstand Wataru Takagi's Gaze, "According to the Car Speed and Time, calculate the Distance from the Kidnapper's Location to the Yan Residence..."
(End of Chapter)
More than half an hour later, the Kidnapper still hadn't returned, but the Police arrived first.
As soon as the two cars stopped steadily at the Street Corner, Kenzo Tsubame couldn't wait to open the Car Door and get out of the Car.

"No!" Inspector Megure refused with Black Lines on Forehead.
"Akio also wants to see everyone play Hide-and-Seek with Uncle Clown," Akio Tsubame said.
"Huh?" Inspector Megure was a little Stunned, "Hide-and-Seek?"
Akio Tsubame looked at Chi Feichei, who had gotten into the Driver's Seat, and said seriously, "Brother Chi said that the people who came with Grandpa want to play Hide-and-Seek with Uncle Clown. If Uncle Clown goes in first, then the other Uncles will look for him. If the other Uncles go in first, then Uncle Clown will look for them.
