Chapter 149: Detective Team Tracking Incident Solved

Chapter 150: The Detective Team's Tracking Incident is Solved

"What? You said you have found decisive evidence that Shishido Kenichi is the murderer?" In the police station, Officer Megure asked loudly on the phone. "Xiaoxun, is what you said true? Where are you now?"

"We are at the back door of the factory where the crime occurred, Officer Megure." I said calmly while holding the phone. "Not only that, we have also figured out the criminal's method of committing the crime, so, Officer Megure, please bring the criminal and some photos of his car to the factory."

"Hey! Kid, don't play tricks on us. We are very busy!" From the other end of the phone, my father's unpleasant voice reached my ears.

"Don't say that, uncle! We are the Junior Detective Team!" As soon as my father finished speaking, Mitsuhiko on my side shouted back unhappily.

"That's right, don't underestimate our Junior Detective Team!" Yuantai also shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Uh. These little brats." Dad said unhappily.

"Haha, okay Uncle Maori, this time we really have decisive evidence, so please come with the police officers. Remember to take more photos of the criminal's car, especially around the wheels and the chassis."

"Well... okay, but you better listen carefully, little brat. If we find out that you are just fooling around, I will not let you off!"

"...Huh. Done." I hung up the phone and smiled relaxedly.

"Hey, Mingya, can we really solve this case?" Mitsuhiko asked me worriedly. "Should we call Conan first?"

"Huh? Why did you call him to ask?" I turned my head to look at him.

"Because, because... because..." Mitsuhiko was unable to say it.

"Okay, don't think too much." I smiled and said, "We have to solve this case by ourselves. You can't always rely on Conan. Everyone must learn from each case alone. Through repeated case analysis, we can make our brains work faster and absorb more knowledge around us to achieve real growth. Didn't you vow to open a detective company in the future? How can you give in now?" I patted Mitsuhiko on the shoulder and encouraged him. "Believe me, according to what we just said, this case will be solved smoothly. Don't forget, we are all members of the Junior Detective Team."

"...Okay, I got it." Mitsuhiko's eyes became firm. "I believe in the strength of our Junior Detective Team. Even if Conan is not here, we will definitely be able to solve this case perfectly this time!"

"That's right! We must make Conan look at us with admiration in this case!" Genta also said confidently with his fist raised.

"Yeah, that's right." I smiled at the two of them. "Well, let's go to the scene before the police arrive. I believe Officer Megure has already notified the police here and allowed us to enter."

"Ok!"

"Oh!"

A few minutes later, the police here really received the notice and allowed us to go in. Arriving at the scene of the crime, I carefully surveyed the situation here again. On the one hand, I checked whether there were any loopholes in the process of solving the case that I would talk about later. On the other hand, there was the doubt that still remained in my heart, that is, why did this criminal choose us. However, this doubt did not bother me for long, because just as I approached the newspaper rack at the scene of the crime, a unique newspaper caught my eye. "Huh?" I picked up the newspaper and read the content on it. Soon, a wicked smile appeared on my face. "So this is why you chose us, Mr. Prisoner." I folded the newspaper and held it in my hand. "But unfortunately, you chose the wrong person this time!"

"Xiao Xun, we are here." About ten minutes later, Officer Megure, his father, and other police officers arrived one after another.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Officer Megure, Uncle Mori." I said with a grin. "Then I won't waste your time and will get straight to the point." I regained my composure. "First of all, Mr. Shishido Kenichi, you hit a little girl with your car this afternoon and then ran away, right?"

"This... is, I admit it." Shishido lowered his head and didn't dare to look at me.

"After that, you deliberately stopped the car on the street corner several times, waiting for us to catch up with you and then lead us to this warehouse, right?"

"You, what are you talking about, kid?" Shishido looked at me with a frown.

"Humph! You are such an adult, but you are still playing dumb in front of a child!" Yuan Tai shouted. "The person who killed Mr. Ishikura must be you! Mr. Shishido!"

"Stupid, stupid kid! What are you talking about!" Shishido seemed a little nervous after Genta exposed him. "Just now at the police station, I was proven innocent!"

"It's true that you couldn't have killed someone while driving away. This reason can indeed reduce your suspicion." I stared at Shishido Kenichi and said coldly. "But, that's just a reduction. It can't play a crucial role."

"Hmph, don't exaggerate, little brat." Shishido argued loudly. "Don't forget, I have witnesses to prove my innocence, and those witnesses are you guys, right?"

"That's right, that's where you shine, Mr. Shishido." Mitsuhiko took over Shishido's words. "Indeed, we did follow you to this factory, and that time is just right to prove your innocence. But what if you planned all this? If you deliberately asked us, the Junior Detective Team, to provide your alibi, then the situation would be different!"

"Nani?!"

"Nani?!"

My father and Inspector Megure were both surprised. At the same time, I also took over Mitsuhiko's words. "As Tsuburaya-san said, if Shishido-san hit Yoshida-san with his car, then drove away, and then led us here just to find an alibi for his own murder case, then everything would make sense, right?"

"No, no way?" Inspector Megure asked in surprise.

"We just talked about this, Officer Megure." Genta explained to Officer Megure. "While we were chasing this criminal, he stopped his car several times to wait for us. In fact, it wasn't because there was something wrong with his car, but he did it on purpose to lead us here and prove his alibi!" "But it's true that my car was not in good condition!" Shishido hurriedly defended himself.

"That's right. When we checked the car, we found that the spark plug was indeed defective. Even after replacing it with a new one, the engine of the car couldn't start properly." At this point, Officer Megure began to look at us seriously. It didn't seem like a joke at all.

"I think an amateur like Uncle Maori can do that kind of thing, right?" I shook my head and smiled disdainfully. "Officer Megure, did you bring the photo of the car that I just asked the officer to bring over the phone?"

"Ah, here, Xun." Officer Megure took out a stack of photos from his arms and handed them to me. "But what do you want these photos for?"

"Haha, these photos will be the absolute evidence to prove that Mr. Shishido is the murderer!" I laughed coldly. I took out the photos of the front, side, rear, license plate, tires and chassis and gave them to Yuanta.

"Hehe, then, Officer Megure, please follow me to the warehouse next door to take a look!" Yuan Tai said confidently.

"Warehouse?" Megure was puzzled. At this time, Shishido was sweating.

Following Genta to the warehouse, Megure opened the iron door of the warehouse and what came into view was a sports car, exactly the same one that Shishido Kenichi was driving when he hit Ayumi.

“This! How come there is a car exactly like this one here?!” Megure was startled by the car in front of him.

"That's right, this is the decisive evidence that we can confirm that Mr. Shishido is the criminal!" Genta explained. At the same time, he handed the photos I just took out to Officer Megure again. "Officer Megure, please take a closer look at the difference between this car and these photos."

"Well... the color, the car model, and even the license plate number are exactly the same." Megure took the photos and compared them carefully. He also gave a few photos to his father for comparison. "Do you have any explanation for this, Mr. Shishido?" At this point, Megure was completely convinced that Shishido was the murderer, but the murderer didn't seem to be so easy to compromise.

"Officer, I don't know why this car is here." Shishido defended himself.

"The Ishikura Factory is a metal plate paint factory. Mr. Shishido, you should be familiar with changing the color, appearance, and even the brand of a car. In this way, the problems with the spark plugs and the engine can be explained, right?" I looked at Shishido evilly.

"Stop, stop joking. If what you said was true, the old lady in the tobacco shop should have seen me." Shishido yelled at me.

"Hey... you know it very well." Mitsuhiko said with his eyes fixed.

"Of course." Shishido turned his head. "After all, I used to be an employee of this factory. Are you surprised to know this?"

"So, you should know the phone number of that tobacco shop, right? You even know that the old lady turned around when she answered the phone!" Mitsuhiko's words hit Shishido's ears hard.

"What, what?" Dad and Inspector Megure were surprised at the same time.

"Yes. It's just as you imagined." Mitsuhiko explained. "When we chased you to this factory, you were out of my sight for about three to five minutes. You stored the car in this warehouse, called the old lady in the tobacco shop, took advantage of her back, ran to this factory, killed Mr. Ishikura, called the old lady in the tobacco shop again, took the opportunity to slip out from here, went to the garage on the corner that you had prepared, and drove out the problematic car that was confiscated by the police!"

"Just now, we also went to the tobacco shop and confirmed that at the time of the incident, the old lady did borrow two wrong phones. Do you have anything to say about this matter?" Yuan Tai asked hurriedly.

"Well, even if what you said is possible, that doesn't prove that I did it." Shishido was already sweating profusely at this time.

"Uncle Maori, please look carefully at the tires and chassis of this car and see how they are different from the photo in your hand." I said to my father who was holding the photo.

"Hmm...oh?!" Dad compared the photos and found the difference, "There are traces of cement on the chassis and tires of this car, but there are none in the photo!"

"That's right. There is a mud pit on this unpaved road, and there are traces of mud on this car, but not on the car confiscated by Mr. Shishido. Do you have any explanation for this, Mr. Shishido?" Mitsuhiko pressed on step by step, and it seemed that he had found the confidence that belonged to a detective.

"That's because the cement on my car was worn away while I was running. Is there anything worth explaining?" Shishido continued to excuse himself.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin!" I stared at Shishido intently, a murderous aura slowly emerged from me. I hated people like this the most. "Mr. Shishido, do you know where your most serious flaw is?" I said coldly. "Your most serious flaw is that you shouldn't use two cars to cover up your crime!" As I said that, I threw a photo at him. It was a photo of the front of the car from the side.

"You, what do you mean!" Shishido said angrily.

"What do I mean? Haha! Why don't you just compare the cars yourself and find out?" I said wickedly.

After hearing what I said, Shishido quickly glanced at the same position of the car as in the photo. Instantly, a bright light caught his eyes.

“This… this is!”

"Yes, what you saw was the detective badge of the little girl you hit, Ayumi Yoshida. Please explain why this badge is here?" I said coldly. "More than that, the little girl you hit had blood on her arm. If you do a test, you should be able to find the girl's blood on this car, but there is no such blood on the car you handed over to the police. Can you give me a reasonable explanation for all this!"

"I... How could this happen..." Finally, Shishido could no longer explain himself, and he just knelt straight in front of me.

"...At first I also wondered if this case was a coincidence, but then I found this newspaper in this factory, and in an instant, all my doubts were solved." As I said that, I threw the newspaper in my hand in front of him. On it was a big close-up, the content was [The Junior Detective Team successfully arrested more than 50 gem robber gangs! ]

"Mr. Shishido, I hope you can always remember one thing when you are atonement in prison. Never underestimate the power of children. Especially when these children have a group called the Junior Detective Team!"
