My neighbor's name is Conan

Humans are very complex emotional animals.

With a change of thought, a good person may become a bad person, or a bad person may become a good person.

A good person in the eyes of the public may have done bad things like spitting on the ground. A bad person in the eyes of the public may have also done good things like helping an old lady cross the road.

There is another thing, which can be summed up in one sentence: He who steals a hook will be put to death, and he who steals a country will become a marquis.

So some things are hard to say.

"This..." Akimoto Yasuyo moved his mouth when he heard this, but did not open his mouth to refute Aoki Matsu's words, just lowered his head.

Upon seeing this, Aoki Matsu left the ramen restaurant and prepared to investigate, asking people around if anyone had noticed anything.

Just after walking out, Sayuri looked at Aoki Matsu and asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"

"Now we can only look for people who have seen the fake police and try to collect as much information as possible." Qing Musong said: "Also, we need to find out where that person got the police uniform from."

Aihara Yoji nodded and said, "That's right. It's incredible that the other party was able to get the patrol uniform. If someone's police uniform was stolen, it would have caused a big uproar long ago!"

At this time, Conan suddenly said: "It may be difficult to get real uniforms, but what about costumes for filming a TV series?"

"For filming a TV series." Aoki Matsu was stunned, then reacted, "Conan, you mean pirated police uniforms?"

"Ah!" At this time, several little ones suddenly cried out.

Then Mitsuhiko pointed to a place and said in unison with Genta: "That's it!"

"What?!" Aoki Matsu and Aihara Yoji were a little confused when they saw this. What was going on?

"It was the two-hour TV series "Run! 100 Policemen's Big Search" that was broadcasted on Nichiren TV last night. It was filmed in Beika Park some time ago. There were 100 actors wearing police uniforms at the time. It's possible that some of the uniforms were stolen." Conan said.

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu immediately instructed Aihara Yoji: "Call Nichiuri TV and ask the filming company if they are short of a police uniform for filming."

The police uniforms used for filming and real police uniforms actually differ in some small details and are not exactly the same, but people who don't pay attention to this aspect won't notice that they look very similar overall.

"Yes!" Aihara Yoji replied, then went to the side to make a phone call.

Qing Musong thought for a moment and said, "Let's go ask the people nearby and count the time and place where the fake police appeared and were seen."

"Okay!" the little ones responded immediately.

After working for several hours, the statistical results came out.

According to the results, the fake policeman first appeared a week ago and appeared every night. The place where everyone encountered him was near the road between Beika Station and Sanchome.

First there was a fork in front of the train station, then five in 2-chome, and then three in 3-chome.

If we follow these points, we will find the route that Akimoto Yasuyo, who lives in Sanchome, takes to go home. It seems that no one has seen the fake police on other sections of the road, which is strange.

In other words, the timing and location of the fake police's initial appearance are closely related to Yasuyo Akimoto's overtime work.

"Oh, by the way, I remember Miss Akimoto said something else." Aihara Yoji suddenly said, "She said, 'Anyway, I saw that policeman every night on my way home from get off work this week.' It doesn't seem like a coincidence to see him every night."

"Ah! So did that fake policeman deliberately appear in front of Miss Akimoto?" Mitsuhiko said in shock.

Yuan Tai couldn't help but say: "Could it be that this guy is targeting Miss Akimoto and wants to do something bad to Miss Akimoto?"

"Well, there is such a possibility." Qing Musong said, and after thinking for a while, he said: "However, I feel that it should be viewed the other way around. It is more like protecting Miss Akimoto and escorting her home from get off work.

You see, the fake police appeared at night, just in time for Miss Akimoto to get off work. The fake police appeared last Monday, just as Miss Akimoto started working overtime last Monday and took the last train home every night.

The fake policeman showed up when Miss Akimoto was off work, and the place he showed up was from Beihua Station to Miss Akimoto's home, and he ran into Miss Akimoto every day. If you call it a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence. "

"Ah!" Mitsuhiko clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Then we understand the matter of the beard and the glasses. He was in disguise because he was afraid of being recognized by Miss Akimoto because she knew him."

"The fake policeman is someone close to Sister Akimoto!" Ayumi exclaimed when she heard it.

Sayuri also opened her eyes wide and said, "Who on earth is that?"

"You can only ask Miss Akimoto about this," said Aoki Matsu.

"By the way, Chief, I just received a call. The other party checked the warehouse and found that a police uniform was indeed missing." Aihara Yoji took this opportunity to report the news.

as predicted.

Aoki Matsu nodded, and then took his men to find Akimoto Yasuyo.

Then a few of them went to find Akimoto Yasuyo.

After finding Yasuyo Akimoto, Aoki Matsu explained the situation to Yasuyo Akimoto.

"How could that be?" Akimoto Yasuyo frowned when he heard that. "If he was someone I knew, there would be no need to do that."

"Could it be someone who secretly loves Akimoto-sister?" said "Love expert" Ayumi.

Aoki Matsu glanced at Ayumi after hearing this.

After all, Ayumi is the most sensitive in this regard.

You know what, if you put this in, everything makes sense.

"But he must be an acquaintance of Miss Akimoto, and he knows that Miss Akimoto is working overtime." Aoki Matsu said.

Yuan Tai said: "I know, it must be Miss Akimoto's colleague."

Akimoto Yasuyo shook his head. "They are working overtime with me. There is no way they are here pretending to be patrolmen."

Conan asked thoughtfully, "Well, who did you tell about the overtime work? The people who live nearby?"

"Let me think about this." Akimoto Yasuyo pondered.

***

On the other side, the residential area near Mika Park.

Tetsuji Odawara from Tielong Ramen Restaurant walked silently carrying a paper bag, inside the bag was a set of clothes - a police uniform.

He was the one who pretended to be a patrolman because he accidentally overheard what Yasuyo Akimoto was saying to someone who came to eat ramen.

Yasuyo Akimoto will be getting off work very late, and there have been a series of break-ins in Beika Town recently, so she joked with her companions that they might run into bad guys.

Tetsuji Odawara was very worried about Akimoto Yasuyo's safety, so he planned to catch the thief himself.

He has always had a crush on Yasuyo Akimoto, but because he is nearly ten years older than Yasuyo Akimoto and has a rather ugly appearance, he has never dared to express his feelings to Yasuyo Akimoto.

However, this did not prevent him from doing something for Akimoto Yasuyo, such as sending her home.

In order to avoid being recognized by Yasuyo Akimoto, she had to put on makeup.

However, if Yasuyo Akimoto found a man following her in the middle of the night for many days, she would probably be too scared to walk and might even call the police.

It just so happened that Tetsuji Odawara saw the show "Run! 100-man police investigation" and suddenly had an idea and decided to play the role of a policeman.

It must have felt very safe to have a police escort in the dead of night.

For seven days, he disguised himself as a fake policeman every night, patrolling between Beika Station and Yasuyo Akimoto's apartment, escorting Yasuyo Akimoto home safely.

Now, the matter has been completed, but I didn't expect to attract the police and involve burglars. How can I explain this so that the police will believe it? It's troublesome.

While Odawara Tetsuji was having a headache, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell. He subconsciously raised his head and took a breath, and found that it was someone he knew, a middle-aged drunkard he had met recently when he was pretending to be a patrolman.

"It's the one from yesterday..."

Um?and many more!

Tetsuji Odawara suddenly thought of Ayumi's words - she didn't eat ramen, but she smelled of ramen.

“The smell on the clothes… ah!”

This week, when he was pretending to be a policeman, in addition to meeting Yasuyo Akimoto, he always ran into the middle-aged drunkard.

Every time I met him, he would drink until very late and come home drunk, but I would never let him take me home.

Moreover, he always wears office clothes!

Tetsuji Odawara stopped and turned to look at the middle-aged drunk who was walking away. He was now in casual clothes.

Today is Monday. As an office worker, I should be at work today.

Akimoto Yasuyo had to work overtime until night for seven consecutive days before he had a day off today, but he didn't. He always worked overtime in the izakaya at night.

To be honest, if he drank that much, he shouldn't be able to get up in the morning.

I originally thought that he was the type of person who would rest in the morning and start working at noon.

But it is afternoon now, and if he goes to the bar to drink again in the evening, what class is he in?

An idea came to Tetsuji Odawara's mind, which was - this person was not at work at all, he was pretending, just like he was pretending to be a policeman by wearing a patrolman's uniform, this person was pretending to be an office worker by wearing an office worker's uniform.

Since being an office worker is just pretending, drinking can also be pretending, because if you drink, you don’t have to wear office worker clothes, and there is no clothing discount.

If you pretend to be drunk, there is probably only one purpose, which is to walk around drunk and investigate the conditions of the houses along the way. Just by looking at the lights, you can know if there is anyone inside.

Thinking of this, Tetsuji Odawara hurriedly chased after him.

Then I discovered that the road the "drunkard" turned into was the place he went to last night - an apartment building.

In other words, he was the thief who broke into the house, and he was now confirming the situation to make sure whether the target was really not at home.

Now is the season for traveling. You can tell whether someone has gone out just by listening to their neighbors chatting.

Tetsuji Odawara tightened the paper bag in his hand, followed quickly, found a hidden place behind a flower bed, put on a police uniform and a beard, transformed himself into a patrolman, and then walked into the apartment.

After the "drunkard" used some tool to unlock the door and get in, Tetsuji Odawara immediately pressed the doorbell.

"Who is it?" The drunkard opened the door impatiently.

Odawara Tetsuji pressed his police cap and said, "Do you remember me? The policeman from last night."

"Last night?" The drunkard's heart skipped a beat and he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I was really drunk yesterday."

"Yes, you did smell strongly of alcohol last night, but that was just the smell coming from the clothes you were wearing, not from your mouth," said Tetsuji Odawara.

Upon hearing this, the drunkard continued to pretend to be confused and said, "What on earth do you want to say?"

Odawara Tetsuji grabbed the man and said, "You pretended to be drunk and kept running around, but you were actually looking for a house where you could commit a crime!"

Hearing that his true identity was exposed, the "drunkard" felt guilty and pushed Tetsuji Odawara to the ground, then ran out of the door and quickened his pace to escape.

Odawara Tetsuji stood up and ran to catch up, "Don't run, don't run!"

After the two ran out of the apartment, Odawara Tetsuji chased them and shouted, "Don't run, you damn thief who broke into the house."

The people around were stunned for a moment, and then someone reacted, "A thief who broke into the house!"

Just as the "drunkard" was about to run to the corner, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered that there were three adults and some children there.

It’s Matsu Aoki, Yoji Aihara, Yasuyo Akimoto and the Boy Detectives!

Just now, through questioning Yasuyo Akimoto, Yasuyo Akimoto recalled that she had said this before at Tielong Ramen Restaurant, so several people prepared to go to Tielong Ramen Restaurant to ask Tetsuji Odawara.

They happened to be walking nearby and vaguely heard the sound of someone catching a thief, so they rushed over immediately and caught him red-handed.

Aoki Matsu and Aihara Yoji rushed forward and subdued the "thief" in no time, leaving Conan no chance to show off his skills.

At this time, Tetsuji Odawara, who was disguised as a fake policeman, also ran over.

"Uh..." Tetsuji Odawara was stunned when he saw everyone.

"It's you!" Yasuyo Akimoto looked at him in disbelief. In broad daylight and at close range, she recognized Tetsuji Odawara.

"No, it's not me." Odawara Tetsuji quickly turned around and tried to escape.

"Turn yourself in!" Conan blocked his way. Genta and Mitsuhiko bravely went forward to help block the way, while Haibara Ai grabbed Ayumi and Sayuri and took them to stand aside.

"You must be the boss of Tetsuji Odawara of Tetsuyu Ramen Restaurant," Conan said, looking at him.

Seeing this, Tetsuji Odawara lowered his head and replied, "Yes." Then he took off his beard and revealed his true face.

Akimoto Yasuyo came over at this time, looked at Odawara Tetsuji and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

[Because of love! ] Aoki Matsu complained in his heart.

If he can't see this situation, then he is a fool.

Tetsuji Odawara glanced at Yasuyo Akimoto, then looked away, not daring to look at her.

"Mr. Odawara likes Miss Akimoto, so he pretended to be a policeman to protect her, right?" Aoki Matsu said to Tetsuji Odawara.

"Ah!?" Yasuyo Akimoto was stunned when he heard this.
