Conan: I'm really not a model worker at a winery

Chapter 686 Key Witness Belmode
"weirdo?
what!Wearing a helmet and windbreaker, I have an impression of this, that person is about 1.8 meters...

Because he was still wearing a windbreaker and helmet in such hot weather, he looked very abrupt among the crowd. "

A female high school student with shopping bags opposite the convenience store said so.

"Oh, that person? I remember he passed by here when he was being chased by the person next to you, little brother..." After a corner, the owner of a coffee shop provided eyewitness testimony, "I just happened to be outside Putting up a promotional stand, if it’s characteristic... the color of the clothes under the windbreaker? It seems to be black, I remember, and the height is about the same as mine, about 1.7 meters.”

……

As for the witnesses who had an impression of the prisoner, Conan and Takagi asked all the way, and there were only two clear testimonies.

But the testimonies of these two people are the same as the testimony of the grandfather who was knocked down by the prisoner before. There is a problem in both of them-none of them can match the three suspects.

In other words, the testimony of the three people contradicts each other.

The old man said that the prisoner was a woman in blue clothes, but the suspect in blue clothes was obviously a strong man; the female high school student also made a clear statement that the prisoner was a head taller in the crowd, so it is reasonable to guess that the height is more than 1.8 meters... However, among the three suspects, only a strong man is 6 or 1.8 meters tall, and the only woman among them is only 1.7 meters. The owner of the coffee shop said that the prisoner was less than 1.8 meters, but said that the clothes under the windbreaker were black...

The clothes of the three people are blue, purple, green...

There is no black at all.

"What, how could this be?"

Takagi Tsutomu, who had finished asking around, was completely confused.

How could the testimony and the characteristics of the suspect not match at all?
So weird!

"It's a bit strange indeed..."

After Conan and Takagi walked around, they returned to the vicinity of the police car on duty. The two moved their chins in unison, their faces full of sadness.

However, when Conan encountered a problem, he extended the problem further:

The testimony of the three witnesses contradicted the characteristics of the three suspects...

Could it be all collusion?Or is it possible that the three suspects were a gang and several people changed clothes with each other in the public toilet?

Conan, who has always been unafraid to speculate on suspects with the greatest malice, feels that he is not far from the truth.

——Of course, it is not the conjecture that this gang committed the crime.

His gaze noticed the curb that was a long way above the pedestrian street, and the light of arriving at the store suddenly flashed in his mind.

I see!Right, that is it!
"If I'm right, the prisoner's height can already be determined!" Conan looked at the three suspects sitting behind the police car with burning eyes.

The only problem now is the color and gender of the prisoner's clothes...

However, when Conan's thinking has been unimpeded, these problems are not considered problems at all.

Given him more than ten seconds, he will definitely be able to figure out the complete context of the case.

but……

"Ah, this child, is he lost?"

A mature female voice rang in their ears.

Both Conan and Takagi She were stunned and raised their heads.

When the former's eyes stared at the person coming, his pupils narrowed uncontrollably: This woman, is it? !

"Ah!" Gao Mushe screamed when he saw the other party, his eyes were a little straight, "Aren't you that big star? That, that, Chris..."

"Hey~ Chrissy Wynyard, that's my name."

Belmode took off his sunglasses and tilted his head, "This police officer, do you recognize me?"

Her Japanese was deliberately awkward.

Takagi was inexplicably nervous, and even saluted: "Yes! When I was handling the case with Police Officer Megure, I had the honor to meet Miss Chris! It was at the memorial meeting at the Cupido Hotel..."

Belmode raised his brows, showing a slightly surprised look: "Oh! Are you a warning from the previous case? Did something happen here?"

She looked around in a panic, as if she was worried that there would be another murder.

"No, no, no! There's nothing here—er, it's not all right..." Officer Takagi was about to deny it, but suddenly remembered that he was indeed handling the case, and nodded his index finger a little embarrassedly, "To be honest, this A robbery just happened at a convenience store... Ah! But please don’t worry! We’ve got the suspect under control, but we haven’t found out who the real culprit is.”

Conan: "..."

Officer Takagi!This woman is a criminal!Don't talk to the other party so naively, hey!

Conan frantically gestured with his eyes, but Officer Takagi was too busy talking to pay attention.

What surprised Conan was Belmode's answer.

"Robbery?" Belmode covered his mouth pretending to be surprised, and said in his native tongue, "It's much terrible... Could it be that suspicious person did it?"

"Suspicious people?"

Conan and Officer Takagi opened their eyes wide.

Is it?

Belmode nodded vigorously: "Yes, I was walking in the street ahead when suddenly a man in tight clothes rushed out...I can't believe that man was actually wearing a windbreaker in this weather!

At that time, he rushed out of the crowd and almost hit me, but luckily I dodged quickly. "

She also stroked her chest in a frightened manner.

Conan also temporarily ignored Belmode's identity at this time, and stared at her together with Takagi She: "A man? Are you sure that the man in the windbreaker and helmet is a man?"

"Huh? It should be. I don't think his running posture looks like a girl."

"Then, what about the other party's height?"

"In terms of height...it should be about the same as me."

Belmode stretched out his hand and gestured.

Gao Mushe immediately asked: "Then, Miss Chris, have you seen the color of the prisoner's clothes under the windbreaker?"

Belmode was stunned for a moment, and then he held the sunglasses on the hat with his hand regretfully, "I'm sorry, because I was wearing sunglasses until just now, and I couldn't see clearly... Eh? Police officer ?What’s wrong with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Conan and Takagi She suddenly seemed to realize something, looked at each other suddenly, immediately put aside Belmod, and Qi Qi stared at one of the three sitting behind the police car.

"So it seems that this is the person?"

"Ah, no mistake, it must be him."

"But, why did the old man say that the prisoner is a woman in Tsing Yi?" Gao Mushe was still a little distressed.

Conan had already figured everything out at this time, and said to himself: "It's very simple, Officer Takagi, because in the old man's mind, cyan can refer to either blue or green, not the difference between cyan and green like we do now." Come on, as for saying that the prisoner is a woman...Officer Takagi, have you noticed his watch?"

"Generally men's watches face outwards, while women's watches face inwards..."

Through the reminder, Takagi She also noticed the key point, showing a sudden look:

"I see!"

aside.

Belmode, who witnessed everything: "..."

Come on, she is such a big member of the organization standing here, cool guy has too much heart, right?

It's a shame she didn't have any malice.

A little speechless watching them handcuff the murderer whom Gin had recognized in 5 minutes before, Belmode let out a long breath and had to speak out again to attract their attention:
"Well, is this the end? Then, let me take my leave first?"

　Takagi, Chris, met, recognized, witnesses, said that they stayed in Europe not long ago, Takagi asked for an autograph, and the latter said he was going to Osaka.
