Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 197 Who is the robber?

   This group of robbers is not particularly professional, only Nakamura Mio has a gun, and the others are not very dangerous.

   Jiang Xia left a ghost floating beside the bear children to prevent them from making trouble.

   Of course there was one left in the monitoring room. In case Mio Nakamura changes, he can take measures as soon as possible.

   If there are too many ghosts, you can do whatever you want. Put one in the east and one in the west, and it is convenient to do anything.

   After Jiang Xia took Hui Yuanai's mobile phone, he secretly observed the juvenile detective team.

   found that Conan didn't plan to use the shoes to forcibly break the map, Jiang Xia felt relieved.

After   , Jiang Xia left a few children behind, picked the corner of the surveillance camera and walked upstairs, preparing to watch the kidnappers' robbery scene to see if there were any energy cores to pick up.

  …

   Downstairs, the juvenile detective team is still trying to find the mobile phone that Hai Yuanai dropped, but they can't find it.

   A few people had to go to find other phones, but found that the lines of the public telephones had been cut off, and the employees’ phones were automatically disconnected after get off work, and they could not get through at all.

  Conan can only find another way - he painted a huge "SOS" on the window, hoping that smart passers-by will see it and help him call the police.

   During this period, Yuan Tai stared at the glass for a while, thoughtfully.

   He has no concept of the strength of the glass in the building. He just thinks that once the glass is broken, they will be able to get out.

  Thinking of this, Yuan Tai picked up the stool next to him eagerly.

   But before smashing it, he suddenly remembered: Jiang Xia seems to be the security guard of this building now.

  Although Jiang Xia was trapped by the kidnappers and couldn't get through for the time being, but when he woke up later, he found that his work place had been smashed...

   Yuanta instantly recalled some figures who were beaten so hard that they couldn't get up and could only roll helplessly on the ground, and substituted for him again. He silently glanced at the stool in his hand, and uncontrollably came to his mind the future of being crushed by this stool.

   After a second, Yuan Tai shoved the stool back to its original position, wiped the cold sweat that slowly slid down his forehead, and followed Conan and Haibara Ai and left as if nothing happened.

Tried other methods to no avail. A few people could only go back to the pile of toys and continue to look for their mobile phones—running around, it was easy to bump into the robbers who were looting, and the first floor where they lost their mobile phones was selling toys and other daily necessities. , the value is not high, the kidnappers are unlikely to come here.

   And the phone doesn't have long legs, so how could it be gone after a fall. It must be because they were not looking carefully, or the phone happened to be attached to which toy.

   As long as they are patient enough, they will surely find...

  …

  Robber No. 3 pulled open the counter and swept all the jewelry inside into his bag.

   After sweeping half the floor, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, rubbed the bag full of jewelry under his feet, showed a simple smile, and said in his heart, "I have gained a lot."

   However, at this time, a very unpleasant sentence floated behind him: "...It's really rare."

   The robber was startled and raised his head in confusion. Then there was a sudden pain in the back of his neck, and he didn't make a sound, and fell to the ground with a thud.

   Jiang Xia pushed the robber away, dragged the jewel bag that he was holding down from under him, then stared at the pile of jewels and sighed.

The    energy core is there.

   But… very few.

   In addition to the robbers No. 1 and No. 2 who were knocked down just now, the combined harvest of the three people is only a little as big as half a sesame grain.

   Jiang Xia threw the energy core into the pattern on his heart, feeling that the core was gone before he could taste it.

   But better than nothing...

   It seems that if you want to smash the energy core, you will have to keep an eye on Kidd in the future.

   There is still one robber left. According to Wutiangou who flew around to inquire about the news, the man was looting antiques upstairs.

  Jiang Xia went back to the first floor first, squeezed a cat with clay, and asked the cat to secretly take Hui Yuanai's mobile phone back and threw it into the pile of toys.

After   , he returned to the antique area again, intending to eat the remaining energy cores. I don't know if antiques can be a little more nutritious than jewelry.

  …

   Downstairs, when the teenage detective team was looking for the phone to find the numbness, Ayumi's hand groping for the stuffed toy suddenly stopped.

   After a while, she took out a mobile phone from under the white cat "Muppet" in surprise: "I found it!"

   Haibara Ai breathed a sigh of relief and praised her: "Well done."

   Then she took the phone and dialed Sato Miwako's number.

   The last time Officer Sato was trapped in an abandoned building and asked them to help investigate the case, Haibara mourned the officer’s mobile phone number.

   If their group of children called the police directly, it would not necessarily make the operator aware of the urgency. Why don't you find Sato who you know?

  When Haihara Ai dialed, Conan looked suspiciously at the place where Ayumi touched the phone. He remembered that he had searched here several times just now.

   But soon, Conan remembered the temperament of his three teammates, and immediately put down his doubts - children are prone to fall off the chain, not to mention there is no light here, and the environment is dark. They were lucky enough to find the phone before dawn.

  …

   Sato Miwako was shocked when she received the call. Recently, there was indeed a group of robbers who were specifically staring at the department store. They were also working overtime on this matter. I didn't expect that the police hadn't figured it out yet, and the juvenile detective team over there ran into the current criminal.

   These children with Jiangxia's physique are really... I don't know whether to call them lucky or unlucky.

   "It must be fast." Haiyuan Ai thought of Jiang Xia in the security room, and the woman who was staring at Jiang Xia with eager eyes and who wanted to transfer from a robber to a kidnapper, her eyes began to sparkle again:

   "They have hostages in their hands. Huh? ... About three or four people. The number of robbers may be a little more than the hostages."

Conan heard it next to him and answered the phone. He recalled: "There were four hostages, five robbers, four men and one woman, and the women had guns. Those with guns were left in the security room on the second floor. , the hostages are also there, and the other robbers went upstairs, and a few of us are now in the toy area on the first floor."

  Sato happened to be working overtime.

   It didn't take long before she and her colleagues surrounded the large floor.

  …

  The police officers quietly broke open the gate of the underground parking lot, entered the second floor, observed the security room, and prepared to rush in to rescue the hostages...

   Then I saw eight people **** on the ground, neatly arranged.

   The Mumu Police Department led the team: "...?"

  What happened, the child counted wrong?

  According to Conan's description just now, the only one standing in the room should be the leader of the robber.

   But Megumi and Sato looked left and right, always feeling that this "robber chief" was very familiar.
