Chapter 595 Conan's Failure
"He must want to take this opportunity to sneak into that room and dig out the hidden gems!" Yuan Tai said with certainty and decisiveness.
There is a jewelry store near the restaurant opened by Rentaro's family. Five years ago, a thief broke into the store and stole jewels worth 300 million yen.
According to Mitsuhiko's guess, the thief was Uncle Kamekura. Five years ago, he stole the gems and buried them in a nearby open space.
Later, a restaurant was built on this vacant land, which was opened by Rentaro's family.
In order to retrieve the buried gems, Uncle Kamekura sneaked into the restaurant under various pretexts.
According to Rintaro, Uncle Kamekura always stayed in that room and didn't let anyone in.
Apparently, that room was where the gems were originally hidden, and the reason why Uncle Kamekura wouldn’t let anyone in was because he was digging in the room.
His purpose was to find the gems that were buried that year, and then sell them to make a lot of money.
This reasoning was guessed by Mitsuhiko and the others, but Conan always felt that this matter should not be that simple.
But in fact, this matter is so simple, Conan is completely overthinking it.
What Mitsuhiko and the others guessed was the truth.
Yesterday, after Yuantai and the others guessed the truth, they ran to warn Uncle Kamekura.
As a result, today, Rentaro and his family are going on vacation. It seems too much of a coincidence no matter how you look at it.
In Genta's opinion, after the warning from the Junior Detective Team, Uncle Kamekura must have been anxious and wanted to dig out the gems quickly, so he resorted to this desperate measure.
"It must be right." A smug smile appeared on Mitsuhiko's face.
"Conan, look, our plan worked." Yuan Tai said happily, "He was scared by us and wants to dig out the gem quickly."
"He will definitely take action in the next two days." Ayumi raised her hands and said excitedly: "Let's take this opportunity to catch him!"
"Catch Uncle Kamekura while he is digging for gems. Even if he has a hundred mouths, he won't be able to argue." Hiroki smiled.
"Is this really the case?" Conan had a headache, covered his head, and said in disbelief, "This shouldn't be the case..."
"This matter is definitely not that simple!"
"Conan, you don't have to worry too much." Hiroki patted Conan's shoulder comfortingly and said gently: "Let's see what Uncle Kamekura will do."
"If he really entered the restaurant while Rentaro and his family were away, there would definitely be something wrong."
"If he didn't do it, that's another matter."
"Then just wait." Conan sighed helplessly.
Haibara Ai sat aside, reading quietly, ignoring the quarreling Young Detective Team.
Ze Yu smiled faintly, took out his cell phone, and quietly captured the moment when Conan went crazy.
These are all good materials.
Later, I can show it to Yukiko and let her see how outstanding her son is.
.........
noon.
Conan stood on the roof of the teaching building, looking at the scenery in the distance with a look of worry on his face.
Ze Yu and Huihara Ai walked over quietly.
"Conan, you look like you're troubled?" Ze Yu asked with a smile.
"Because I think this matter is definitely not that simple." Conan said seriously: "In this world, how could a criminal be so panicked and exposed just because of a warning from a group of elementary school students?"
"If he is really so cowardly, how could he become a thief and steal other people's gems?"
"Kudo Shinichi." Haibara Ai said slowly: "The opponent you met this time is probably different from those scheming criminals you have dealt with in the past." "What's the difference?" Conan couldn't help rolling his dead fish eyes.
Ze Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe because he is relatively simple?"
"Well……"
Conan was stunned for a moment, then he looked mad and said with a headache: "After hearing what you said, I don't understand even more!"
Ze Yu smiled, silently took out his camera and captured Conan's crazy moment.
What Conan didn't know was that at this time, Genta and the others were hiding at the stairs, quietly observing Conan.
"It seems that this incident has dealt a great blow to Conan." Mitsuhiko said with some concern.
"After all, we solved the case this time." Yuan Tai was not worried at all. On the contrary, he felt very proud: "Conan, the 'hero', is useless!"
"Will Conan give up on himself and become a bad person because of this?" Ayumi was very worried.
"It's possible." Yuan Tai said seriously.
"You think too much." Hiroki said with a smile: "Conan-kun will never give up on himself."
Because Hiroki and Sawaha have a close relationship, Hiroki also knows a little about Conan.
He believed that Conan would never break down over a small matter.
After all, Conan is Kudo Shinichi!
How could he be so mentally fragile?
Strictly speaking, among the Junior Detective League, the ones who are most likely to give up on themselves are Haibara Ai and Hiroki.
The remaining members include a determined detective, three optimists who are not afraid of anything, and an old monster who has lived for six hundred years without wavering in his original aspirations.
As for Huiyuan Ai and Hiroki...
In the original work, in the early period, Haibara Ai always maintained a pessimistic mentality, thinking that she was always dragging others down.
She even thought about committing suicide.
Hiroki was more direct. Under the oppression of life, he could hardly breathe, and later he chose to end his life.
Relatively speaking, these two are the type who easily give up on themselves.
However, these tragedies were changed because of Ze Yu's appearance.
He picked up Haibara Ai and saved Hiroki.
With Sawaha's company, Haibara Ai and Hiroki gradually regained their confidence and put aside their past pessimism.
Although Haibara Ai and Hiroki are not as optimistic as Ayumi and the others, they have also returned to normal.
I won't give up on myself anymore.
Conan has always been more optimistic than Haibara Ai and Hiroki, so in Hiroki's opinion, Conan will not give up on himself.
"That's not necessarily true." Yuan Tai said.
"I believe in Conan." Hiroki smiled and said firmly.
.........
in the afternoon.
A stealthy figure appeared in front of the door of the 'Drink and Eat' restaurant. He opened the locked door with a key and slipped in swiftly.
Near the restaurant, at the corner of the street, the members of the Junior Detective Team hid here, quietly observing the scene.
"Uncle Kamekura is really here!" Ayumi said excitedly.
