Chapter 834 Maori Kogoro: Stop, this is a crime!
"Yeah." The uncle opened his hands and gestured, indicating that the bird was this big.
"When did it happen?" Youya asked.
The uncle said, "On my birthday, which was April 4th. Early in the morning, a strange car was parked outside, and the real estate agent also came and locked the basement over there."
The uncle pointed to the door leading to the basement.
Conan tilted his head and asked, "Strange car?"
The uncle explained: "When I went out in the morning, I saw a brand new car parked in the yard outside, but when I came back in the evening, it turned into a dilapidated second-hand car."
"The car's parts were also stolen in the middle of the night, and only the skeleton was left."
Yuya thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know why the basement is locked?"
The uncle said, "The machine room in the basement, maybe he wants to sell the machines in there." Then he walked towards the door.
"When was that?"
The uncle disappeared at the door, and then his voice slowly drifted over: "In the evening."
Youye touched his chin and said, "Uncle, please check if there are any clues above. I'll go to the basement to check."
After saying that, he walked towards the basement without waiting for Kogoro Mouri to answer.
"Hey, what right do you have to give orders?" Maori Kogoro waved his fist angrily, but he soon calmed down. "This kid seems to be particularly anxious today?"
Thinking of his daughter, he somewhat understood Yuya's feelings.
"Little boy, just stay by my side and don't run around, okay?" said Kogoro Mouri.
But no one responded.
He looked in surprise and found that Conan, who had been standing next to him, had disappeared. Only the sound of footsteps came from the stairs leading to the basement. It was obvious that it was not one person. Obviously, Conan went down with Yuya.
Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but sigh, too lazy to pay attention to the two men, and started checking on his own.
Yuuya looked back and asked, "Why aren't you following Uncle Kogoro?"
Conan shrugged his shoulders. "It looks like a lot of homeless people have lived there. Even if there was anything there, it would have been destroyed long ago. So the only possible place to find clues is in this basement."
Yuya nodded. He thought so too, so he deliberately asked to check the basement before Kogoro Mori.
There was a door at the end of the stairs, and Yuya looked around and saw that there were no other rooms.
I went forward and turned the handle, but it was locked. There was a ventilation fan above the door.
Just as Youya was about to kick the door, Conan pushed a box over.
Yuya took a look, stood on it, reached out, grabbed the ventilation fan and pulled it hard.
"Bang!" The iron ventilation fan fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Afterwards, Conan was lifted up by Yuya with a sullen face and went inside through the ventilation fan.
He turned around, opened the door, and they entered the room together.
The two of them didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but they cooperated tacitly and entered the locked room.
This is a power generation room, but it is covered in dust and looks like it has not been used for a long time.
There were many wardrobes in the room, and Youya walked up to them and opened them one by one, but they were all empty.
"Yuya." Conan called out.
Yuya turned around and saw Conan taking a bag out of the locker.
At this time, Kogoro Mori hurried down.
"Hey, are you guys okay? I just heard a loud noise."
"It's okay, but we found something." Youya replied casually, squatting down and opening the bag.
Maori Kogoro came over quickly and shouted in surprise: "This is... a hood with exposed eyes, gloves, and even a pistol? Yes, and a receipt."
Yuya put on gloves and took out the receipt. "It's a highway receipt, Yokohama New Road, April 4th... Isn't that the day when the uncle said he saw a big white bird and a strange car parked in the yard?"
Maori Kogoro nodded: "Yes, he said the new car turned into an old car... Wait, isn't this just a replacement car? So that's it, the suspect wearing a hood and holding a pistol changed his clothes and escaped here!"
"It is very likely that the next goal is to find out what case happened that day."
Youye nodded slightly, but still felt a little confused - because they found the clues too easily, if that was the case, the previous detectives would have been able to find it too, so why didn't they solve the case?
The three of them took their bags and prepared to leave the hotel.
When they reached the door, Yuya suddenly stopped and pulled Kogoro Mouri to hide behind the door. Seeing this, Conan also hurriedly hid on the other side.
"What's wrong, Yuya boy?" Kogoro Mouri asked in a low voice without struggling.
"Shh, there's someone outside." Youye carefully stuck out half of his head.
In the yard, there were several men standing next to the car they drove over, talking to the homeless uncle.
Maori Kogoro was a little confused: "Who are those guys?"
I don't know what these people said, but suddenly they took out revolvers from their pockets in unison.
"It's a gun!" Maori Kogoro was shocked, "Could it be the fugitive's accomplice?"
"No..." Youya narrowed his eyes, "That's a standard police revolver. They are criminal police."
Maori Kogoro was even more confused: "Detective? Why is the detective here?"
Youye shook his head: "I don't know, but what is certain now is that we'd better not contact them rashly."
Before leaving, the client warned them not to call the police and said that their every move would be monitored if they came into contact with these criminal police.
Maori Kogoro said tentatively: "Just tell them our identities as detectives..."
"No," Yuya rejected decisively, "This is not Tokyo. What if these policemen don't recognize us? What if we are taken to the police station for questioning..."
Maori Kogoro was silent. If it were any other time, he would have shouted: How could anyone not recognize me, the sleeping Kogoro?!
But now the lives of his daughter and several other people are at stake, so he doesn't dare to take the risk.
"Then what should we do?" asked Kogoro Mouri in a low voice.
Yuya hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "How many can Uncle Kogoro handle? Without hurting them."
Maori Kogoro was shocked: "You want to attack the police? No, that's a crime!"
Conan also looked at his childhood friend in shock.
"There's no time, get ready!" Youye shouted in a low voice.
"Ah, no, don't, really want it?" Kogoro Mouri's pupils trembled.
No, as a famous detective and former criminal policeman, is Kogoro Mouri going to embark on the path of breaking the law and committing crimes?
