Chapter 61: Detectives' Requiem (Part 2)
"The hint is 'TAKA 3-8'?" Kogoro Mouri drove the car with a puzzled look on his face, but he was always worried about Xiaolan's safety.
Conan held the contact number given by the client in one hand and the detective badge in the other to convey the message to Huibara: "Huibara, don't let anyone leave the park, and don't play Super Giant Snake. That track on the sea will also be considered outside the park!"
"I've also asked Mr. Pearson to look after the children." The novelist's face was not in a good mood either. He hated the feeling of being given orders by others, even if it was just acting.
“‘3-8=-5’，连起来就是3-8-5，也许是指门牌号。”柯南展开一张地图开始研究。“应该是高岛町三丁目。”
The three drove to Takashima-cho but found that there was no sign of Sanchome on the map.
"Maybe the road was built here and the place name was changed." The novelist adjusted his monocle and stared at the place names on the map. "We can ask the locals."
After asking a local patrolman, they finally arrived at their destination, an abandoned hotel.
Kogoro Mouri was startled by the homeless man who suddenly appeared behind the door, and Conan asked the homeless man if anything noteworthy had happened recently.
"A big white bird flew in, and the basement was locked that day, April 4th. I remember there was a brand new car parked in the yard that morning, but it was replaced by a used car that evening."
"But all the parts of that car have been stolen a long time ago. The basement is the mechanical room, and maybe the parts inside have been stolen as well." The homeless man said and walked out of the hotel.
The three searched the hotel separately and finally found a package containing a mask, gloves, and a gun in the basement, as well as a car purchase receipt dated April 4th.
"It seems that the criminal who did something unknown changed cars here and escaped." Kogoro Mouri came to the conclusion.
When a few people were about to leave, the novelist stopped the other two.
"Be careful, there are people outside, and they seem to be holding guns." The novelist hid behind the door and signaled the two to be quiet.
"It seems they're not just ordinary people." Maori Kogoro also looked solemn. "Could it be that the criminals' accomplices have come back to take the package?"
"It's possible." Conan also frowned.
"Detective Maori, I will rush out to lead them away later. You take Conan in the car and leave first." The novelist suggested after observing the number of people on the opposite side.
"Wouldn't that be dangerous?"
"Trust my skills, after all, I have practiced."
When the people outside the door were about to come in, the novelist rushed out quickly and ran to the right. Maori Kogoro took advantage of the fact that several people were chasing the novelist, pulled Conan into the car, and then drifted over handsomely and tried to pull the novelist into the car together, but the car stalled.
novelist:"......"
"You are under arrest!" The people chasing the three novelists revealed their identities.
"Are you criminal police?"
At this moment, Kaito Kidd flew over the crowd on a hang glider. The detectives immediately reported to their superiors: "Inspector, we've found Kidd. He's above the demon statue on the roof of the Shenshan Building."
The three were then suspected of being Kidd's accomplices and were packed up and taken away by plainclothes police officers.
"So you are plainclothes policemen." The novelist sat in the back seat of the police car with a helpless look on his face.
"I've already told you that I'm not Kidd's accomplice, I'm Mouri Kogoro!" Mouri Kogoro was very anxious. After all, time is life for him now. If it's too late, the lives of Xiaolan and the others will not be guaranteed.
The three detectives were drinking tea in the police station, while the children in the fantasy park were having a lot of fun.
Xiaolan even told a joke. Huiyuan took the initiative to offer to queue up at the Super Giant Snake so that others could eat first.
"Is this okay, leaving Huibara here alone?" asked the little girl.
"I can stay." The original believer offered to stay with Huibara.
"Me too!" Robbie waved his hands aside.
This made Huibara a little troubled. She wanted to extend the waiting time to prevent people from riding the roller coaster.
The native believer saw her thoughts and whispered in her ear, "Uncle Kreacher, tell me and I will help you. They won't suspect anything."
Seeing that this was a sensible person, Huibara did not refuse.
"Darren, Robbie, get along well with Huibara!" The little girl turned around and waved to them before leaving.
Seeing everyone leave, Huiyuan pulled the original believers and crybaby to the end of the group: "I don't know how long we can hold out like this."
Perhaps feeling the original believer's reaction was dull, Huiyuan took the initiative to talk to her: "Your name is Darren, right?"
The original believer was a little slow to respond: "Yes."
"You look like you have some kind of mental illness, you're slow to react, and you lack emotion. Why did you take the initiative to stay with me?"
"Generally speaking, it's more reasonable to have an adult accompany the child in line. Why did Mr. Pearson leave this task to you?"
"Darren, make your own decision. You just lied." The native believer pointed at himself.
"Actually, it wasn't Uncle Kreacher who told us. We secretly overheard the conversation between Uncle Orpheus and Uncle Kreacher." Crybaby explained, scratching his head.
"It would be dangerous if everyone got on the Super Snake. Robbie doesn't want anyone to be in danger."
"Uncle Kreacher is a man who cares deeply about children. He certainly doesn't want them to be in danger, so we want to help."
"Uncle Kreacher has been running an orphanage for a long time, but there was no money back then, so everyone in the orphanage could only hide in a not-so-warm house and share the little food they had."
"Uncle Kreacher, in order to improve our lives, would steal from the streets without our knowledge and use the money to buy fresh bread and milk for us. In fact, everyone knows where the money came from, because Uncle Kreacher would often come back with injuries."
"Even without lights, she could use a colorful ball to throw a simple dance for us. Even without materials, she could make a crown out of clay to play with us. Broken stained glass windows could be put into a mirror tube to make a kaleidoscope. Melted wax could be collected and used to make birthday candles."
As the crybaby spoke, he suddenly became sad.
"But everything changed that day. Uncle Kreacher was arrested and imprisoned for stealing."
"The orphanage was sold to a nasty priest. He always told us to be grateful, but then he had the nuns beat us up and forced us to beg on the streets. We got nothing. All the money we begged was taken away by them. People in the orphanage kept leaving because they couldn't bear it anymore."
"Finally, the priest sold us to a mental hospital after we were no longer useful to him. The doctors tied us up and kept us in the infirmary for experiments."
"Luckily, Uncle Kreacher finally came to rescue us, but everyone had already left, and my sister also..."
Huibara thought of his own experience in the organization and couldn't help but sympathize with the crybaby's experience. The original believers also comforted him.
The original believer remembered that, long ago, she also had a caring brother, whose name seemed to be Walker? If he hadn't become Dr. Thompson's assistant, would he have come back to see her and her mother?
At the police station, after a long struggle with Inspector Nakamori, who was unable to catch Kid, Kogoro Mouri finally found his old acquaintance, Inspector Megure, who came to his rescue. Inspector Megure identified the three men, and Conan learned from the inspectors that a jewel belonging to President Miyama was stolen by Kid on April 4th, and that someone was trying to kill Kid.
The client's phone in Conan's pocket suddenly rang. Conan hid in the bathroom to answer it, but he didn't expect that the client would reveal Conan's true identity as Kudo Shinichi. The clever Conan then communicated with the client in Kudo Shinichi's voice.
So Conan got the second clue, "Cafe at Night".
