Chapter 146 He surrendered?

Chapter 147: He surrendered himself?

"Oh no, we lost him!" Yuan Tai shouted. After turning two streets again, we lost our target.

"The car that caused the accident waited for us at the corner of the street five times. But it disappeared here. In other words, he deliberately led us here?" I muttered to myself. "So, what is here?" I looked around. On our left was a factory called Ishikura Industry, and on the right was the back wall of a residential building. The street was still in front of us, but the car that caused the accident was nowhere to be seen.

"Could he be hiding in this factory?" Yuantai pointed to the factory in front of him.

"Well... but this doesn't look like a place to hide a vehicle. This factory doesn't look like it's open for business." Mitsuhiko said to us after looking at the warehouse.

After listening to what the two said, I also scanned the factory and didn't find anything special.

"Mingya, we've lost you. What should we do?" Mitsuhiko was a little overwhelmed.

"It would be great if Conan was here at this time." Genta said with a sigh.

"I say, Kojima-san. You always rely on Conan's words. Be careful, one day he will snatch your position as the leader." I smiled gently.

"Eh?!" Yuan Tai immediately imagined a scene in his mind. On a luxurious sofa, Conan was looking at him with a big laugh. Beside him, Ayumi was looking at Conan with admiration. He could only kneel beside him and hand Conan the crown with the words "Captain" on it. As soon as the scene passed, Yuan Tai suddenly became alert. Then I felt a raging fire of fighting spirit burning in the eyes of this little fat man. "No, no! I can't lose to Conan!"

"Yeah, so let's go find the criminal." I smiled softly. "And our clues are still there."

"Hey! Really?" Genta and Mitsuhiko suddenly became excited.

"Ah, look at the ground of this street." I walked out of the factory gate, squatted down and pointed at the ground.

"Ok?"

"Huh?" Two curious little heads quickly came over, but they didn't find anything special.

"Is there anything here?" Mitsuhiko couldn't resist his curiosity and asked me.

"The dust on the ground." I answered simply. "If you look closely at the dust on the ground, you will find that the dust that should have been moving with the wind is now gathering together and forming two lines. Think about it, why is this happening?"

"Hmm...ah! It's the dust raised by the running cars!" Mitsuhiko suddenly realized.

"Yes, when the car is driving, the speed of the car will raise dust near the tires, causing them to gather slightly. And if you look carefully in the sunlight, you will find that there are actually some tire marks on the ground left by the car after it crushed the dust.

"Hey! It's true!" Yuan Tai said excitedly while lying on the ground looking at the shallow tire marks on the ground.

"Ah, and there was no wind in this area just now, so there is no misleading situation. In other words, the car just passed by this factory and did not stop at this factory. So, we just walk along this road and check the dust on the road as we walk." I stood up and started to walk forward. "When we find that the regular dust on the road disappears, it proves that the car has stopped or taken another route. For example, here." I stopped after passing the factory just now.

"Eh? Disappeared here?" Mitsuhiko looked up and around. He found a muddy road on his left, which was just wide enough for a car to pass. "Ah! It's a turn!"

"Well, I think so." I said calmly. "Let's go and take a look." I took the lead and ran into the road.

"But this place is really, why is there no asphalt road here?" Yuan Tai complained while running. Because this road is not only muddy, but there is also a small mud puddle in the middle of the road.

"Mingya, look, there are so many tire marks on the ground." Mitsuhiko pointed at the tire marks scattered across the ground.

"Ah, this should be the warehouse." I looked at the tire tracks on the ground. Some were going straight, some were driving into the warehouse, and some were going backwards. "Let's not talk too much, let's go over and take a look." I took the two children to the back of the factory and found that this was also a street that could be driven. And there were stairs behind this road, so cars couldn't pass through.

"There's a tobacco shop over there, let's go ask." Mitsuhiko saw the tobacco shop on the street at a glance and hurried over.

"Grandma, have you seen a car passing by here?" Mitsuhiko asked first.

"Cars? I saw about two or three cars today, right?" The old lady in the tobacco shop thought for a moment, then said to us slowly.

"It's a two-door red sports car." Yuan Tai suggested.

"Haha, I'm sorry, little friend. I can't tell the difference between cars at my age." The old lady smiled at us apologetically. At this moment, the phone behind her rang, so she went to answer it and left us aside.

"What should I do? The clue is gone." Mitsuhiko said in difficulty.

"Hmm..." I responded absentmindedly, while glancing back at the warehouse I just passed.

"Ah! There!" As I turned around, Yuan Tai pointed at the end of the street and shouted. Looking back, a red car appeared in my sight.

"He's backing up?!" I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw the car that hadn't appeared just now but now appeared in front of me.

"Why think so much? Let's catch up first!" Yuantai said immediately, and then he and Mitsuhiko ran out. Although I was confused, I followed him. What if the criminal had any bad intentions? I could save the two children in the first place. In this way, we followed the car that caused the accident for another two blocks. Soon, the car stopped, and we finally stood behind it after chasing it for so long. However, what surprised me the most was that the car stopped at the door of the police station. Click.

The car door opened, and a young man in a red T-shirt walked out with a fearful look on his face. "Mr. Policeman, please arrest me. I just hit a child with my car and then fled."

"Fuck! You fooled me for so long, and you actually turned yourself in!? Where's my gun? Don't stop me! Let me shoot him!"

"...So, after the man hit Ayumi with his car, he drove away, but later he probably felt guilty, so he went to the police station to turn himself in." About an hour later, we went to Beika Central Hospital together. I told Ayumi, who had already been treated, and Xiaolan, who was accompanying her, everything that happened.

"Really? I just wanted to show off the strength of our Junior Detective Team, but the criminal turned himself in." Yuantai seemed very dissatisfied with the fact that the criminal turned himself in.

"Okay, okay, it's a good thing that the criminal can turn himself in, isn't it?" Xiaolan comforted.

"By the way, Mingya, what did you mean by what you just said at the door of the police station? I didn't understand anything." Yuantai also turned the topic to me.

"Hmm? Ah, that, it's just some boring words. Don't take it seriously." I waved my hand awkwardly. Actually, I said that in front of the police station in Chinese. Because I really felt that the driver who caused the accident was too irritating, I couldn't help but swear in Chinese. Fortunately, no one understood it at that time. Of course, I would never shoot in front of the police station, that would be courting death.

"Hey... I don't know what you were talking about at that time, but judging from your state you seemed to be quite angry. Is it really nothing?" Mitsuhiko continued to ask.

"Ah, it's okay, don't worry about it." I waved my hand and changed the subject. "By the way, how is Ayumi's injury, Xiaolan-sister."

"Well... Fortunately, it's just a minor scratch. The bleeding has stopped and it won't take long to recover. The doctor said it's okay without hospitalization."

"Then we can go home directly now, right?" Yuan Tai asked with concern.

"That's great, Ayumi." Mitsuhiko also agreed.

However, Ayumi was frowning and lowering her head with an aggrieved look. "Not at all. The badge that Conan worked so hard to make for our Junior Detective Team was lost by me."

"Then it must have been lost when it was hit by a car?"

"Yeah, I think so too, but I asked the police officers. But they all said they didn't see it." As she said this, Ayumi was about to cry.

"Okay, it's just a badge, don't worry. I'll talk to Dr. Agasa and ask him to make another one for you." Seeing that Ayumi was about to cry, I hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"Eh? Really?" Ayumi suddenly perked up.

"Ah, after all, the Doctor and I are distant relatives, so this little thing is no problem. Just focus on healing your wounds." I shrugged and said easily.

"Well~ Thank you, Xiao...Mingya-san."

"Hmm? Ah. Nothing." Seeing Ayumi blushing and hesitant, I felt a little funny. However, I didn't realize it myself, and I reached out and touched Ayumi's head. However, I regretted it as soon as I finished this action.

"Hey! Mingya! How can you touch a girl's head casually!" Yuan Tai suddenly lost his composure.

"That's right, this is very impolite behavior!" Mitsuhiko's unrest +1.

"Ming, Mingya-san..." Ayumi's face seemed to turn redder.

"Um... sorry, sorry, I'll go buy some juice for everyone. Ahaha, ahahaha." I scratched my head in embarrassment and quickly left their sight. "Huh... kids nowadays are really..." Turning a corner, I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. Me too, why did I have to reach out and touch Ayumi's head for no reason? After thinking about it, a helpless smile crossed the corner of my mouth. Maybe it was because the twinkling eyes of Ayumi just now brought back some memories in my heart. Sighing slightly, I continued to walk towards the vending machine.

"...Hmm?" Just as I walked to the vending machine, a very beautiful female doctor picked up a can of coffee from the vending machine and turned to walk past me. The female doctor had long golden hair, tied into two golden ponytails with hairpins, a pair of wine-red glasses on her nose, blue eyes, and fair skin, indicating that this woman was not a pure Japanese. I smiled lightly as I watched the female doctor walk by me. Just as I was about to catch up with her, I heard a steady but increasingly solemn voice coming from behind me.

"Hey, Xiaoxun, what are you doing here?"

"Eh?" I turned around and saw my dad standing in front of me with his hands in his pockets, looking serious. "I'm here to buy juice, what's wrong, Uncle Maori?" Looking at my dad's expression, I had a bad feeling.

"Ah, go call Xiaolan and the children. We have to hurry to the factory on Fourth Street. Officer Megure is waiting for us there."

"Us? What happened? Also, isn't that the factory on Fourth Street the one we just passed by?" I seemed to have expected something.

"I heard from Officer Megure that someone was found dead in the factory. It seems to be a murder case."

"Huh?!" I was shocked. Soon, a hint of evil crept up on the corner of my mouth. "So, this is what you were planning, Mr. Driver!"
