Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 203 Equivalent Exchange

I felt the fingers pressing on my head tightening.

Conan quickly gave Yun Xianhe a look that said, "I'll definitely change it next time."

The latter gently pulled the sticky hair on the back of his head, without saying whether he believed it or not.

"…The only clue was the less than 10-second video captured by the bank's security camera. How the police officer had identified the suspect became an unsolved mystery after his death.…"

Yun Xianhe thought about it for a moment after hearing what Officer Gao Mu said.

Officer Sato, who was not far away, stood up and said softly:

"It's not your fault. Even if the case and the name of the main suspect are still in people's memory, who was the police officer who died in that case..."

Officer Sato turned around and said casually:

"If you are not a member of the police force, it is difficult for anyone to remember it."

"Officer Sato..." x2

"Didn't the truck driver see the robber's face?"

The detective team chattered with questions.

However, the robbers were dressed too covertly at that time, so there was no way to track them down.

Among the people who had been screened and whose name was "Chou Si Lang", no one met the criteria.

The reason why this case remains unsolved is that all clues were lost with the death of the police officer.

"The three clues of the security camera, the raincoat and 'Chou Si Lang' are too weak."

"Four."

Officer Sato's words caught the attention of the others.

"The fourth one is what my father wrote down in katakana on the manual. It has three suspicious characters: 'KAN O'."

"KAN O?" Takagi.

"This is the first time I've heard of it."

Shiratori frowned slightly, and Sato explained:

"As far as I know, the police don't want this to be leaked. From the records before and after, the police believe that these three words have a great impact on the case."

Yun Xianhe, who connected all the clues together, frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Zhu Fujingguang who was standing by had obviously heard of this case, but at that time he just watched the reports on TV and didn't pay much attention to it.

"But I remember the video of that case...it seemed to show the robber killing the bank police officer."

"Huh? Isn't it only 10 seconds?"

Sato, who was standing by, heard what the two were saying and naturally continued:

"Because the video was too violent, it was quickly removed from the shelves."

"That's it."

When hearing Sato say that she is willing to fulfill any request of the person who helps her solve the case, Kojima Genta quickly followed up:

"If I guess it, would you treat me to 100 servings of eel rice?"

"Well, of course!"

After receiving a definite answer from Officer Sato, the detective team excitedly expressed their wishes.

Conan scratched his cheek, as if he also felt that this request was a bit excessive:

"Then can I have a ticket for this World Cup football match?"

Officer Sato, who was originally just trying to coax the child, responded with a stiff smile.

Are children nowadays so smart?

Yun Xianhe, who had an idea, chuckled:

"If my guess is correct, Officer Sato will be asked to pay for a box of blueberries."

"Hey?"

Everyone who heard this turned to look at him.

Yun Xianhe spread his hands:

"My stomach has been feeling bad lately, so Mr. Guang won't let me eat too many hard foods, otherwise I'll ask for a pound of apples."

Zhu Fujingguang's mouth twitched slightly, and his half-moon eyes said:

"Xianhe, did you secretly eat dried fruits in the middle of the night last night?"

"Hey, I just tasted a little bit."

Yun Xianhe pinched his two fingers and gestured slightly.

I recalled the layer of dried fruits that disappeared in the glass jar, and then looked at the height the other party measured.

...Yeah, it's really that high.

"Is it possible that such a good opportunity only requires one piece of fruit?"

"Strange big brother."

"Such a precious opportunity to make a wish."

The detective team didn't quite understand Yun Xianhe's thinking.

After all, compared to 100 servings of eel rice, tickets and other things, a small box of blueberries would only be a fraction of their value.

"First, because I like fruit, second, because Officer Sato is a friend, and third, it's a voluntary gesture of gratitude. To sum up, even if he only gave me an apple, it would be an equal exchange in my opinion."

When Conan heard Yun Xianhe's words, he showed an expression that said, "As expected."

The Young Detectives looked at each other, trying to understand each other.

However, Takagi and Shiratori on the side felt a little ashamed.

The first thing that came to their mind was that they wanted to marry Officer Sato.

After hearing Yun Xianhe's speech, Officer Sato looked seriously at the thin boy in front of him, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, looking like a good brother:

"If you help me untie it, I'll buy you a box of blueberries."

"make a deal!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang's mouth twitched as he felt that he had witnessed a 'big' transaction.

Forget it, I'll just keep an eye on it when the time comes and I shouldn't let the other person get a stomachache from eating.

"Ah, flowers again."

Everyone who heard Ayumi's voice looked up and saw a group of people walking across the street.

Officer Sato, who looked familiar, was stunned for a moment, then trotted over.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Hey, aren't you Miwako?"

"You've grown so big."

Officer Takagi, who had followed him, asked curiously, "Are they all your friends?"

"Well, they were all friends of my dad's from his high school baseball team."

Yun Xianhe, who was a little further away, lowered his voice and asked Zhu Fu Jingguang:

"Mr. Guang, how did the bank police officer die?"

"He was hit on the head by the butt of a shotgun by a gangster."

"Hey - don't shoot with a gun, choose to hit with a stick."

The hero replied softly, adjusting his facial expression, and smiled faintly at the four people being introduced by Officer Sato.

"…This is Mr. Shikano Shuji, who is famous for his strong arms and legs."

Yun Xianhe paused for a moment when he heard the name, then slightly curled the corners of his lips.

Got you.

Watching the man put the bouquet under the electric pole, Yun Xianhe spoke softly to Zhu Fu Jingguang:

"Mr. Guang, if one day you see the person who killed your friend come to give him flowers, what will be your reaction?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang paused slightly and looked at the four people carefully.

"Gonna give him a punch."

Hearing this, the brave man smiled with satisfaction:

“I like your answer.”

Officer Sato said goodbye to the four men.

Shiratori on this side just received a call from Inspector Megure about the arsonist.

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe turned around and glanced at Zhu Fu Jingguang:

"Was the fire we saw last night actually caused by a serial arsonist?"

"Yes, it was in the newspaper this morning."

"I see."

Upon receiving the order, Officer Shiratori and Officer Takagi quickly prepared to set off.

But our somewhat reckless Officer Takagi forgot to bring his handcuffs today.

Yun Xianhe could clearly feel that Officer Sato's body stiffened for a moment, and even his face turned pale.

Fear? ...The aftereffects of a similar experience?

Seeing the other party handing a pair of rusty handcuffs to Officer Gao Mu, Yun Xianhe understood a little bit.

Watch Takagi and Shiratori leave.

Yun Xianhe looked down at Conan who was still thinking, leaned over and whispered:

"How about it, have you figured it out?"

"Not yet, wait a minute, Brother Xianhe, you wouldn't..."

Conan looked at the smiling Yun Xianhe and said with a half-moon eye:

"What on earth is your brain made of?"

"I have the same structure as you. How about it, do you want it?"

"No, go and exchange it for your box of blueberries."

Conan, who was used to being hit, knew what Yun Xianhe wanted to say, so he decisively refused.

"I was wondering if you want tickets."

"Hey?"

Conan was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up.

Yun Xianhe felt like he was about to be blinded by the shaking.

He reached out and gently rubbed the other person's head:

"I'll give it to you later."

"Hey hey hey."

The young detective was a little hesitant for a moment, but finally chose a proposal that Yun Xianhe would not refuse.

"I will urge him to write a book when I return."

"make a deal!"

Hehehe, hurry up and hand in all the remaining manuscripts! Mr. Kudo Yusaku!

The hero felt that he was one step closer to collecting all of Kudo Yusaku's books, and he was in a good mood. When he called Officer Sato, his tone was much lighter:

"Officer Sato, I know who it is."

"what?!"

"Eh?! You must be kidding!"

Yuan Tai, who originally wanted to change to eel rice, subconsciously denied it when he heard Yun Xianhe's words.

Mitsuhiko, who was used to being hit, and Ayumi, who was full of admiration, did not react that strongly.

"Sure enough, he guessed it first."

"Conan's master is so awesome!"

Officer Sato was stunned for a moment, then excitedly grabbed Yun Xianhe's shoulders:

"What did you guess?"

You can feel a squeezing sensation where you are grabbed.

Although I didn't feel any pain, the opponent's grip must have been quite strong.

"Officer Sato, please calm down a little."

Zhu Fu Jingguang on the side stretched out his hand to separate the two.

Realizing his own gaffe, Sato took a deep breath and took out his notebook to take notes.

"The murderer is Shikano Shuji, one of the four men just now."

"what?!"
