Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"It's very likely," Conan looked at the map that Baiquanyi was marking, "The clue left in this phone might be..."

Baiquan Yi was still busy and did not cooperate with Conan to take over the conversation.

"I'm afraid so?" Miyamoto Yumi and the others were very surprised.

Conan glanced at Baiquanyi with a half-mooned look. He left the important parts to Baiquanyi, but Baiquanyi refused to cooperate. He said speechlessly, "It's the account book of election bribery."

"Ah?"

"Is this in the phone?" Yumi Miyamoto also quickly looked at the phone on the table.

"It's the information hidden in the address book." Conan saw that Baiquanyi was not going to make a deduction, so he had to do it himself. He pointed at the address book information that Baiquanyi had copied down and said, "Look, aren't these names very strange?"

"Kanbashi Merchant, Oma Watari," Miyamoto Yumi bent down to look at the record in the booklet, "Aida Ken..."

The 20th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Peoples' Republic of China was held on the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples' Republic of China.

"It's a place name." Xiao Ai reminded.

Conan had already picked up the phone on the table and was looking through the contents. "There are place names in Touto in all of them. In other words, Xianqiao Shang may refer to Xianqiao Shopping Mall, Omadu Jui refers to Omadu Jui Neighborhood Committee, Aida Ken is Aida Construction, and Ishizawa Sei is Ishizawa Manufacturing. Also, some of the names in the phone's address book have little black dots, so those should be the addresses where bribery transactions have taken place..."

"So these ink spots weren't just accidental copies by Mr. Bai," Miyamoto Yumi pointed to the bottom corner. "What about this? Why are there suddenly only numbers?"

The copied content on this page is obviously not complete, but only a small part. At the beginning, there are names and numbers grouped together, but in the next few lines there are only numbers.

"Because there are no ten-digit phone numbers starting with 1, these numbers in the address book have other meanings," Conan finished reading the address book on his phone, put down the phone, and pointed to the last number. "Brother Baiquanyi probably discovered a pattern when he was copying, and he has sorted it out. The first four digits are 1023 to 1031, and then 1101. There are no numbers in the entire address book that start with 1031 and before 1101."

“难道是日期吗？”槺捐鞯溃�1023是10月23日，1031是10月31日，而1101是11月1日，而之后没有1032是因为没有10月32日……”

"So that's how it is," Miyamoto Yumi understood. "The end of October to the beginning of November last year was the time of the parliamentary election. So the number at the end should be the amount of the bribe, right?"

"Yeah!" Conan nodded, looking at Bai Quanyi who put down the map and started to look through his phone again, and asked in confusion, "But why did Brother Bai mark the address and date on the map? With just this information, it's impossible to determine which congressman's secret account this is?"

"I want to find the one who lost his phone first..." Bai Quanyi said, turning the phone in his hand over, letting the other party know which one it was.

He remembered that this incident was a black account case. The person who made the deal with the man with glasses was someone from Baisho Shuhei, who was also the congressman who had just passed by the propaganda car to promote the event. However, the other person was still unclear...

On the phone screen was a report of a press conference with a picture of a slightly overweight man wearing glasses.

"Yes, it's him!"

"It's him, so he's a reporter..." Miyamoto Yumi nodded in confirmation, looking at the map over there curiously. "But Inspector Bai is really amazing. Can we find out his identity like this?"

"Because that person exposed his own identity information when recording other people's secret accounts," Conan reacted and helped explain, "The records started on October 23rd, so there must be a reason for the uncle with glasses to start tracking and investigating. As mentioned before, even a person needs an invoice for meals. It could be an employee on a business trip, an individual business owner, a police officer on a surveillance mission, a reporter, or a detective. If Officer Yumi can't confirm the other party's identity, then it can't be a police officer. It's difficult for an employee on a business trip to stay in Tokyo for so long to track and investigate someone. Of course, he may also resign to concentrate on the investigation, but unless he is very confident in his abilities and is in urgent need of a large sum of money, he will not quit his job to investigate these things, right? There is even less need for an individual business owner to drop what he is doing to investigate something that is uncertain whether it can be investigated thoroughly and is very dangerous..."

"It's more likely that the other party is a detective or a reporter. Both types of people are experienced in tracking and investigating. The fact that the other party didn't notice his investigation also proves that he is quite capable. Moreover, both types of people have the opportunity or time to travel around."

"If he's a detective, then the opportunity for him to start investigating could be a commission or passing by. If he's a reporter, then the opportunity may be an inadvertent discovery while interviewing or following up on other matters," Conan said, the lens of his glasses began to reflect light, and a smile curled his lips. "On October 22nd of last year, there was a report about the pollution caused by Ishizawa Production. It was an interview with the person in charge."

"Find out the name of the 0.2 newspaper that reported the story and the reporter who was in charge of the interview at the time," Baiquanyi took over, confirming that Conan's guess was correct, "and then find out about that reporter, and you'll have all the relevant news and information about the activities he participated in."

"If it wasn't that reporter, we could still screen the reports from that period, or events that occurred at several key addresses and dates. No matter what it is, there are always clues to follow!" Conan said with certainty, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that information in this era is really unsafe. If you meet someone like Bai Quanyi or a capable detective, they can track down the investigation all the way as long as they find any clues.

"So who's the person he's blackmailing?" Miyamoto Yumi asked expectantly. "The guy who bribed the election, who is he?"

Conan and Shiraizumi Mashi were both silent, obviously they couldn't be sure yet.

Seeing the two people's silence, Miyamoto Yumi understood and said with some disappointment, "No clues yet. That's right, there are no clues yet... However, as long as we find the person who received the phone..."

"Officer Yumi can call the telecommunications company," Conan reminded. "If the other party calls but can't find the phone, they might call the telecommunications company to inquire about the registration location or registrant information of the SIM card. We can call the telecommunications company and ask if anyone called the telecommunications company to inquire about these things on the day Sister Xiaozi received the call."

"Can I find out this by calling the telecom company?"

"No, they won't tell us," Miyamoto Yumi said, pulling out her phone. "Unless the police are investigating a case, they won't disclose this information. But it just so happens that I've come into contact with the people at the telecommunications company before when I was investigating. If I call them, they should be able to tell us who called them that day with similar questions."

377. Tricks Miyamoto Yumi

Yumi Miyamoto called the telecommunications company to inquire about the situation. From the day before yesterday to yesterday, three people called the telecommunications company and specifically asked for the address of a certain number.

One person wanted to go to a company for an interview, but forgot the paper with the interview address at home. He was worried that the interviewer would find out about this, so he called the telecommunications company, provided the phone number of the interview company, and asked the telecommunications company to help him find the company address.

One is that the daughter ran away from home, and the person who received the call wanted to know where the number used by the daughter was.

Another one is about a person who met one during a trip and helped him a lot. However, the other person mistakenly put his cell phone in his suitcase. He wanted to thank him and return the phone to him, so he wanted to know his address.

"That should be the last one," Conan said, "There's something strange about the statement."

"I thought so too, so I specifically asked for the phone number," Miyamoto Yumi said, "but they said they had originally intended to refuse, so there was no record. I don't remember it anymore, but it seems that those three calls were all made from outside, not from my home..."

"Outside?" Conan grasped the point.

"One called from the 'Columbo Restaurant' yesterday evening, one called from the 'Mika' platform 3' the night before yesterday, and another called from the 'Apollo' sporting goods store yesterday at noon. They couldn't remember exactly when or where they called to find someone they'd met by chance during their travels," Miyamoto Yumi recalled. "Also, they said 28, and although they rejected the other party three times, the other party hung up on all three calls. It seemed like there was a sudden loud noise that drowned out the sound of the call, but the sound only lasted a moment before the three people hung up, so they couldn't confirm what it was..."

"Should we call those three places again and ask?" Conan asked.

Yumi Miyamoto started calling to ask questions again.

First, there was a public telephone on Platform 3 at Mihua Station. The management had an impression of the person who made the call at that time. He said it was a cautious middle-aged man wearing a high-end windbreaker. They had often seen that person near the platform recently, and there was indeed a loud noise, which was the platform's broadcast every once in a while to inform passengers that the train had arrived and to prepare to board.

Next was the sporting goods store called "Apollo". The clerk who answered the phone said that someone did come to answer the phone yesterday at noon. It was a middle-aged man with a shaved head and wearing a suit. It seemed that his mobile phone was out of battery, so he went to borrow their phone. The loud noise nearby was the construction sound of the bank opposite the store. Since a week ago, there have been intermittent construction noises at noon.

Finally, we went to the Columbo Restaurant. The waiter who answered the phone said he remembered him as a quiet, middle-aged man wearing light-colored sunglasses. He didn't have any change, so he asked them for change to pay for the phone bill. So, he left a deep impression on me. As for the loud noise nearby...

The clerk immediately said, "This is a famously quiet street. How could there be something like that..."

"Good afternoon, fellow citizens! I am Shuhei Baisho..."

The sound of the propaganda car's broadcast came from Miyamoto Yumi's phone, and even Conan, Baiquan Yi, and Yumi Yumi who were standing next to him were shocked.

The slap in the face came too suddenly. There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the clerk said awkwardly, "Oh, yeah, there's been a campaign truck passing by at noon and in the evening lately, and the horns are pretty loud..."

"Columbo." Bai Quanyi suddenly said.

"Huh?" Miyamoto Yumi was stunned. She hurriedly told the clerk to keep it a secret before asking, bewilderedly, "Isn't that the sporting goods store called Apollo? Apollo and Poirot sound very similar. Maybe the reporter misremembered it and told him Apollo, which led to him going to the wrong place and not getting the phone."

"Columbo is also a detective." Baiquan Yi said.

"Columbo Restaurant is also on 5-chome. If that reporter only remembered eating at a shop named "Detective" on 5-chome, he might have confused Columbo Restaurant with Poirot Cafe. Besides, there will be propaganda vehicles passing by there. This incident is related to the election black project. Maybe the other party was worried about being associated with a certain congressman, so he hung up the phone in a hurry?" Conan stood up with a confident smile on his face, turned to Bai Quanyi and asked, "Brother Bai, should we go to Columbo Restaurant to check it out? Maybe we can run into that person. He hasn't got his phone back, so he will probably go to Columbo Restaurant repeatedly."

Bai Quanyi nodded: "But before that, I have to send you kids to Dr. Agasa's house to play video games. Don't interfere in adult affairs."

Conan pouted in dissatisfaction: "I was the one who deduced it, you are such a traitor."

Shiraizumi Mashi didn't care about Conan's complaints.

He said to Miyamoto Yumi, "Miyamoto, I'll send these little brats back first, and then we'll go find the original recipient of the phone. That guy's a blackmailer. Let's catch him together, and the credit will be yours."

Miyamoto Yumi was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes!"

Shiraizumi Mashi first drove the five little ghosts to Dr. Agasa's house, continued their video games, and then picked up Yumi Miyamoto to go to Columbo Restaurant.

The clerk in Colombo stood there for a moment, then looked at Yumi Miyamoto in her police uniform and said, "Um...excuse me..."

Are the police here to work or to eat?

Yumi Miyamoto told the store clerk that she was the police officer who had called earlier and asked the clerk to help identify the person who borrowed the phone yesterday evening.

Just after the communication, the bell at the door of the store rang.

The clerk looked up and whispered hurriedly, "That's the customer!"

Bai Quanyi turned around and saw that it was indeed a middle-aged man wearing light-colored sunglasses.

Without saying a word, Bai Quanyi took out handcuffs, handcuffed the middle-aged man, and then took him back to the police station for interrogation.

After investigation, it was found that the middle-aged man was a reporter who used his identity to collect negative information on the congressional candidates and then blackmailed them.

The physical evidence is a copy of the account book found in the middle-aged man’s home, and the witness is a candidate for parliament.

Since this case involved several blackmailed parliamentary candidates, one of whom was a member of the Japanese ethnic group, the Metropolitan Police Department took it very seriously. After the case was solved, the Metropolitan Police Department specially commended Yumi Miyamoto, which made her very famous.

Yumi Miyamoto was very happy. Knowing that it was Shiraizumi Masu who deliberately gave the credit to her, she decided to treat Shiraizumi Masu to a meal.

Bai Quanyi said that everyone is an adult, eating is too boring, drinking is okay.

In Yumi Miyamoto's eyes, Shiraizumi Masu was just a younger brother. She had no fear at all and easily agreed to Shiraizumi Masu's request.

Yumi Miyamoto first took Shiraizumi Masu to a ramen restaurant to eat ramen, and after eating ramen, they went straight to the bar.

Today, Yumi Miyamoto changed into casual clothes. She wore a black plush sweater as the inner lining and a maroon dress as the outer layer. She tied a bow belt around her waist. Under the skirt were a pair of beautiful legs wrapped in purple stockings and a pair of white high heels.

Yumi Miyamoto's dress gives Shiraizumi the feeling of a sister next door, which feels good. The more Shiraizumi looks at her, the more he likes her.

When Miyamoto Yumi saw that Shiraizumi Masu only ordered beer and was hesitant and not generous when drinking, she mistakenly thought that Shiraizumi Masu was not good at drinking.

Boy, you still want to trick me, I'll let you see what a social person is like!

"Bai Quanyi, you have to drink it in small sips. How long do you plan to finish? I won't stay with you until tomorrow morning."

"Miyamoto, drinking too much will make you drunk, and you have to go to work tomorrow!"

Shiraizumi Masu decided to play the pig and eat the tiger, and take down Miyamoto Yumi in one go.

Shiraizumi Masayuki has always wanted to get close to Miyamoto Yumi, but he never had the chance. Today he lost this opportunity, and he doesn’t know when the next chance will come back.

"Then why did you ask your sister to treat you to a drink? That's so boring." Yumi Miyamoto said with a look of disgust.

"Then Miyamoto, how do you think we should drink it?" asked Shiraizumi Yi.

"Of course you have to toast when you drink beer."

Yumi Miyamoto unceremoniously picked up the glass full of beer and clinked it with Shiraizumi Masu's glass.

Then "gulp, gulp, gulp" to finish all the beer.

"Hey - how are you? Are you okay? Shiraizumi Masu." Miyamoto Yumi looked at Shiraizumi Masu with a smile in her crescent eyes.

"Of course I can." Bai Quanyi said with a manly look.

He tilted his head back and finished a glass of beer.

"Cough cough——" Bai Quanyi looked like he drank too fast and his face turned red.

"That's pretty good. It's worth my sister treating you to a drink." Miyamoto Yumi put her arm around Shiraizumi Masu's shoulder in a familiar manner.

"Can I call you Sister Yumi in private?" Baiquan Yi asked with a blushing face.

"Eh?" Miyamoto Yumi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Of course, if you call me Sister Yumi, then I will just call you Quan Yi."

"Ok!"

"Let's continue drinking."

As she spoke, Miyamoto Yumi refilled Shiraizumi's glass, then refilled her own. Then, she clinked her beer glass with Shiraizumi's and began to drink.

While drinking, Yumi Miyamoto looked at Shiraizumi Masu to see if he was playing any tricks. However, she found that he was a very good drinker. He forced her to drink a toast without any complaints and drank all the wine honestly.

He doesn't look like the bad guy who coaxes girls into drinking, deliberately gets them drunk, and then takes them to do bad things.

378. Seize Miyamoto Yumi before Haneda Hideyoshi

As they drank one drink after another, under the influence of alcohol, the atmosphere gradually became lively. Although the two had only known each other for a short time, they acted like friends who were destined to be together for life.

"Quan Yi, this time my sister was able to shine in front of her colleagues, all thanks to you."

Bai Quanyi smiled lightly.

"So Sister Yumi is someone who loves to be in the spotlight. I never could have guessed."

"Of course. It's just that I don't have many opportunities to be in the spotlight, unlike you, Quan Yi, who often appears on TV and in newspapers."

"It's nothing to mention. I think the luckiest thing about me is... that I met Yumi-san."

"Really? Quan Yi, you're so sweet."

"Want to try it?"

"Eh?"

Baiquan Yi came over and pecked Miyamoto Yumi's lips lightly.

Yumi Miyamoto froze, unable to believe that Shiraizumi Mashi just kissed her like that.

My first kiss? Gone just like that, out of nowhere.

"Hey, hey—Quan Yi, how could you kiss me without telling me? This is harassment. You're a criminal police officer, you should know that!"

"Ah? S-Sorry, Yumi-san was so beautiful, I couldn't help myself."

"Humph! You're lucky to have met me. I won't bother with you. If it were any other girl, you'd be the one getting sued!"

"Yumi-san, you can't be really angry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I rarely come to bars, and I accidentally acted impulsively. I'll finish this drink as an apology."

Shiraizumi Mashi drank the contents of the cup in one gulp, his face turned even redder, and he looked dizzy, as if he was really drunk and that's why he impulsively kissed Miyamoto Yumi.
