Chapter 490 You’re welcome. Do you want my help?
After teaching the student a lesson, the two policemen continued their patrol.
"Okay, tell me what's going on?"
Ignoring the cautious and guarded gaze of a certain great detective, Hanyu Kusunoki put Ayumi down, sat down casually beside the flower bed, looked at the group of people seeking death in front of him, and asked with a gentle smile on his face.
With a new helper, Genta and Mitsuhiko immediately abandoned Conan, whom they had always been counting on, vividly demonstrating what it means to be fickle.
"Brother, it's like this..."
Several children chattered and explained the whole process.
It turned out that just now when the detective team was on their way home from school, when they passed by the building next to them, a ring suddenly fell from the sky. There were two S-shaped hooks on the ring, which together formed the sign SOS.
The three little ones, who were feeling bored and had no cases to solve, immediately excitedly concluded that someone was sending them a distress signal, so they pulled Conan and Ai to look for the person calling for help.
Then, based on some clues, they found nine eligible families. After knocking on their doors and asking one by one, they finally locked on the family on the third floor named Shima Masao and Shima Asuka.
As a result, they mistook the Shima couple, who were wearing sunglasses and gloves, for murderers, and ran out in a panic to find the police to report the incident, claiming with certainty that a robbery and murder case had occurred.
It ended up being a misunderstanding and I was severely scolded by the police.
After hearing what happened, Hanyu Nan touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "So, did you make a mistake, or did someone really ask you for help?"
"This...we don't know either..."
The three little ones looked at each other, and each of them was like eggplants hit by frost, speechless and dejected.
After the police's ruthless reprimand just now, they were no longer sure whether it was someone else's prank.
Hanyu Nan glanced at Conan who was looking down in deep thought, then turned his gaze to Ai, "Ai, what about you? Do you think it's a prank or is there really someone asking for help?"
This time, Xiao Ai did not contradict the other children. She nodded gently and said seriously, "It seems that someone really asked for help, but we haven't found out who it is yet."
Although she was thinking about going back to dissect the aliens as soon as possible, human life was at stake after all. The tsundere loli still forced herself to suppress her scientific research desire and decided to save people first.
Xiao Ai put her hands behind her back and asked, "How is it, can you handle it?"
Hanyu Nan looked at the three little ones in front of him with anticipation, raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled confidently, "Then leave it to me."
"Great!"
“Big brother is awesome!”
"The Junior Detective Team is about to set off!"
The three little ones instantly cheered again, their excitement evident in their expressions, and Xiaoai's mouth corners unconsciously curled up into a faint smile.
Only Conan showed disdain.
He admitted that Hanyu Kusunoki was very capable and possessed some outrageous high-tech technologies that were far ahead of their time, but when it came to solving cases, he, Kudo Shinichi, had never been better than anyone.
"Hey, Hattori, I have a case here, come quickly..."
Conan ran to a corner and called his good friend Hattori Heiji.
It’s just asking for external help, who can’t do it?
Ignoring Conan who ran away, Hanyu Kusunoki took the ring they found from Ayumi, held it in the palm of her hand and looked at it, only to see a few small words engraved on it: 1993.3.21 and MtoA.
"You just said this is a wedding ring?"
"Yes, my parents' wedding rings are like this." Ayumi answered Hanyu Kusunoki's question, with a hint of sadness on her little face.
Her parents are divorced, and the wedding ring that once symbolized love and commitment has now become a thing of the past and can only remain in memories.
"Then how can you be sure that this is the woman's wedding ring?" Hanyu Kusunoki continued to ask while playing with the ring casually.
"Because when we picked it up just now, there was lipstick on it." Mitsuhiko answered first, "So the name of this woman's husband should start with M, and hers should start with A."
"Is this so..."
Hanyu Nan did not continue to ask, but turned to look at Xiao Ai and asked casually: "Xiao Ai, if you were to give me a wedding ring, whose name would you engrave at the beginning?"
After hearing this, Xiao Ai first glanced at the three little ones, and after making sure that they were discussing their own affairs and didn't hear it, she turned around and rolled her eyes at Hanyu Nan, saying unhappily: "Humph, don't even think about it, I won't let you get married..."
Halfway through her words, Xiao Ai's icy blue eyes narrowed, and she quickly realized, "You mean, this ring might be given by the woman to the man, so M should be the beginning of the woman's name?"
"Bingo~"
Hanyu Kusunoki snapped his fingers. "Since you didn't find the person who asked for help by using the name starting with M for the man, why don't you try another method and use M for the woman?"
"M stands for the female side..." Ai suddenly realized and quickly rearranged the clues she had just found in her mind. At a certain moment, she raised her head suddenly, "Uehara Misato, this is the one asking for help."
"Smart, worthy of being our family's genius girl."
Hanyu Kusunoki clapped his hands and stood up from the flower bed.
Bystanders clear, the authorities are fascinated.
Sometimes people easily get stuck in a dead end, and the smarter they are, the more likely they are to fall into this situation. At this time, they need outsiders to give them some pointers.
Of course, he was not the bystander.
He was just an ordinary handsome boy who passed by, read the script and cheated.
With new clues, Hanyu Kusunoki brought Ai and the three little ones back to the building, ready to rescue Mrs. Uehara Misato.
Hmm, did you forget something?
After making the call, Conan called for support and came back. He looked at the empty flower bed with only a few fallen leaves blown by a gust of wind, and his expression was a little dazed.
No, what about people?
Didn’t we agree that the Young Detective Team would solve the case together?
How could you leave him behind?
"I knew that none of them could be trusted. They were all ungrateful!"
Conan cursed indignantly under his breath, then walked to the side of the road, waiting for support from his good friend.
……
On the other side, the target point was reached at this time.
Standing at the door of Misato Uehara's house, Hanyu Kusunoki pressed the doorbell.
"Who is it?"
A slightly vigilant voice came from inside the house, and then the door was half opened, and a woman with heavy makeup and a green coat leaned half of her body out and looked at her vigilantly.
After seeing Hanyu Kusunoki and the children behind him, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately closed the door without saying a word.
"Hey, ma'am, don't worry."
Hanyu Kusunoki slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a kind smile, and reached out to hold the door that was about to close.
The woman in green tried hard several times but failed to close the door. She immediately looked ferocious and said angrily: "Who are you? What are you doing in my house? If you don't let go, I will call the police!"
"Give."
"..."
The woman in green looked at the phone that Xiao Ai handed over, and stood there in a daze, completely stunned.
"You're welcome. Do you need my help?" Xiao Ai had a blank expression on her face. She still held the phone indifferently and pretended to call the police.
"No... no need, I was just joking, little sister, thank you." The woman in green forced a very reluctant smile on her face, but she was going crazy inside.
Who asked you to call the police? Are you calling the police to arrest you?
Where did this lunatic come from? He called the police just like that, as if the police station is owned by your family!
