Chapter 1716: The Thief Who Dialed the Wrong Number

Friday, April 28, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Yamazaki left, and Lan, who was interrupted, stopped talking to Conan about Maori's delivery, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Conan lay bored on the sofa waiting for dinner, and when he was falling asleep, the phone rang.

Conan quickly got up to answer the phone, only to find that it was not a guest.

"Is the money ready?"

"ah?"

"Ah what, money preparation... who are you?"

Threatening phone calls!

Conan thought it was an anonymous call, and just about to record it, the other party had already hung up the phone, but there was a female voice at the end, good morning.

"Well, Conan, who's calling?"

"Sister Lan, someone made a wrong call."

Conan changed his mind and didn't tell Lan the content of the call. The threatening call was only a possibility, and there was no recording. Even if Lan told Lan, Lan might not be able to convince Maori.

In addition, the voice on the phone was very familiar, very similar to that guy from Hattori, just as he said that he would come over after the continuous break started, so let him get well sooner. ...

Downstairs, alley.

Conan ran out and called Hattori, "Hi, it's me."

Hattori smiled and said: "I can't wait to see me, don't worry, I'll be there early tomorrow morning, let's exchange the latest incident."

Conan said angrily: "No, you'd better come here immediately, there is something that needs your help."

"Ha, there are also incidents that you can't handle, and I need to step in." Hattori asked excitedly, "What is the incident, let me hear it?"

"Forget it, come over and talk about it." Conan hung up the phone with his triangular eyes, just needing your voice. ...

At night, Maori Detective Agency.

Mao Li slipped away to play mahjong, Lan was upstairs doing housework, and Conan waited for the service department, and finally he came.

The service department complained when he entered the door: "Damn it, you didn't pick me up!"

Conan didn't blush, "I'm a child."

Hattori asked: "Hey, what happened? Who died this time?"

"At present, we can only confirm that it is a threat." Conan said the matter.

"This guy dialed the wrong number, so the phone number he wants to call should be similar to the number of the office. I have made a list here. If you call them all, you will know where the prisoner is calling. "

Hattori was very dissatisfied, "Uh, you mean, I came all the way from Osaka just to play on the phone!"

Conan said with a smirk: "That's right, that's what you are for, because your voice is similar to that of the prisoner. As long as you make a call and look at the other party's attitude, you can determine whether there is something wrong with the other party."

Hattori said weakly: "Forget it, let's start now. It's an incident after all."

Conan smiled and said, "Then please."...

Hattori kept calling, and then hung up on the excuse of making a wrong call. After a round of calls, he finally found someone who responded differently.

"Hi, I'm Rockpaw."

"it's me."

"Ah, it's you, what else is there, you stinky thief, I have already given you 10 million yen as agreed, and I didn't tell the police, why are you pestering me?"

"I'll call you later."

"Hey..."

Amid Iwaki's cry, Hattori hung up the phone and said with a satisfied smile, "It's him."

Conan said: "Have you noticed? In the call just now, the other party said that they have paid to settle the matter."

Hattori thought about it: "But what did he say about stinky thieves? What does this have to do with thieves?"

Conan smiled and said, "Isn't there a phone number? Just check it and you'll know."...

According to the phone number, the two found Rockpaw's house,

I also know the full name of Mr. Rockpaw, Yizhen Rockpaw, and I checked the Internet and found that he is actually a gem dealer.

Hattori was a little excited, "The thieves he is talking about are Kaitou Kidd, right?"

Conan said: "Isn't it possible? The Kaitou Kidd returned the gem, but he never asked for money."

"Then it's just an ordinary thief? What a pity." Hattori said discouraged.

"gone."……

The building where Kazuma's house is located.

Hattori and Conan were wondering what to tell the administrator, and accidentally found the Nakamori police department, who was leading his subordinates out of the building.

Conan was overjoyed, "Nakamori Police Department."

Police Department Nakamori nodded and said, "Oh, the kid from the Maoli family, and this is..."

Hattori said: "I am Hattori Heiji, Naniwa's high school student detective Hattori Heiji."

Conan asked, "Are you going to Rockpaw's house?"

"Yes, investigating a fraud case." Nakamori Police Department asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"

"That's right." Hattori said the matter.

Nakamori Police Department was surprised, "Huh? You mean, someone stole his gemstone and extorted 10 million yen from him."

Hattori was surprised, "Ah, what are you investigating?"

"Some people say he is shoddy." Nakamori Police Department said.

Conan wondered: "Is there any connection between this? Because the gem was stolen, so I replaced it with other gems."

"No, that incident has been going on for a long time, and it should have nothing to do with this case." Nakamori Police Department said, "Okay, let's go back and see Rockpaw, you guys go back quickly."

"Wait a minute, since he didn't tell you before, if you ask him like this, he will most likely not admit it," Hattori said with a smile, "Take me as a prisoner."

"Alright."...

Kazuma Rockpaw outside his home.

Not long after Nakamori Police Department rang the doorbell, Rockpaw answered the door.

"Officer, what else do you need? I've explained it several times. It's not my fault. It's Mr. Shen Shan who didn't read the gem identification certificate clearly."

Police Department Nakamori asked: "Hey, we are here for another matter. Do you have any impression of this voice?"

Hattori was escorted forward, "Is the money ready?"

Rock Claw was really excited, "Have you caught the prisoner yet?"

Police Department Nakamori deliberately asked: "What prisoner?"

Rock Claw Yizhen shouted, "It's the jewel thief!"

Everyone was overjoyed and took the bait.

Nakamori Police Department said with a smile: "Please explain in detail, the victim's testimony is very important."

"It's like this. The day before yesterday, a gemstone worth 100 million yen at home was stolen..." Kazuma Iwazu suddenly realized something was wrong, and asked Hattori again, "Can you say it again?"

Hattori felt guilty, "Is the money ready?"

Rock Claw Yizhen confirmed: "Say it again."

Hattori had no choice but to say, "Is the money ready?"

Yanzhuo shouted excitedly: "No, no, he's not a prisoner, and a prisoner doesn't have such a strange accent."

Hattori was angry, "What's so strange, don't underestimate our Osaka dialect."

Conan and the Nakamori Police Department covered their faces together, this matter was really horrible.

Rock Claw was really frightened, "You, who are you?"

"Me?" Hattori broke free from the escort, "I am Naniwa's famous high school detective Hattori Heiji!"

Conan has black hair, the idiot.

Yanzuo Yizhen said angrily to the Nakamori Police Department: "Officer, what is going on!"

The Nakamori Police Department was a little embarrassed, "Well, it is a fact that gems worth 100 million yen were stolen."

"No, the gem was not stolen."

"ah?"

"The gem is fine, it's still there."

Yanzhao Yizhen invited everyone into the room and took out the big gem worth 100 million yen.

"Look."

The Nakamori Police Department asked in surprise: "But you said it clearly before?"

Rock Claw Kazuma said, "That's a joke."

"A joke?" Police Department Nakamori was speechless.

Hattori smiled and said: "Understood, although the gem was stolen, but the prisoner asked you to call for 10 million yen, saying that he would return the gem to you if he got the money, and then you paid the money and redeemed the gem." go back."

Yanzhuo Yizhen retorted: "What, there is no such thing, I would not do such a thing."

Hattori smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this jewel already has a buyer, so even if it costs 10 million yen to buy it back, it's still more cost-effective."

"Oh, is that so, Mr. Rock Claw?" Nakamori Police Department said, "Please tell the truth, if we don't arrest the criminal this time and let him taste the sweetness, he may target you and commit crimes one after another. .”

Conan reminded: "In other words, that prisoner is really not greedy. He stole gems worth 100 million yen, but he only wanted 10 million yen. If it was me, he would definitely ask for half the price."

Hattori said: "As long as the total price is 10%, it is really difficult to understand, unless the gem is fake."

"How, how is it possible! Excuse me," Rock Claw Yizhen also realized that something was wrong, forced a smile and took the gem to the room for appraisal.

Soon after, Rock Claw came out, looking dejected, and at a glance, he knew that the gemstone was fake.

The Nakamori Police Department said: "This adds to the crime of fraud, and you should admit that it was stolen, right? Mr. Rockpaw."

Rock Claw Yizhen said weakly: "Yes."

The Nakamori Police Department asked: "So, is there any clue of the prisoner?"

Yan Zhuoyi said helplessly: "Well, I didn't see him face to face when I gave the money. From the beginning to the end, I just heard his voice."

Police Department Nakamori asked with a headache: "Is it the voice on the phone? Is there a recording?"

Rock Claw Yizhen smiled bitterly and said, "No."

"Okay, then do you remember the approximate time? Let's check slowly and hope that the prisoner is using a landline."

The Nakamori Police Department called back and asked someone to find a relationship to help investigate the communication records of Yanzuo Yizhen. It turned out that the prisoner did not call from the landline, and there was no clue for a while, and the investigation team disbanded. ...
