Chapter 686 Key Witness Belmode

"Weird person?

Ah! Wearing a helmet and a windbreaker, I have an impression of this. That person is about 1.8 meters tall...

Because he was wearing a windbreaker and helmet in such a hot weather, he looked very awkward among the crowd."

So said a high school girl shopping bags across from the convenience store.

"Oh, that person? I remember he passed by here when he was being chased by the person next to you..." After passing a corner, the owner of a coffee shop provided an eyewitness testimony, "I just happened to be outside.

Putting up a promotional stand, in terms of characteristics...the color of the clothes under the windbreaker? It seems to be black. I remember that in terms of height, he is about the same as me, about 1.7 meters."



Conan and Takagi Wataru asked all the witnesses who had impressions of the prisoner, and there were only two relatively clear testimonies.

But the testimony of both men, like the testimony of the old man who was knocked down by the prisoner before, has a problem - none of them can match the three suspects.

In other words, the testimonies of the three people are contradictory to each other.

The old man said that the prisoner was a woman in blue clothes, but the suspect in blue clothes was obviously a strong man. The female high school student's statement was also very clear. The prisoner was a head taller in the crowd, and it was reasonable to guess that he was over 1.8 meters tall...

...However, among the three suspects, only the strong man is 6,18 meters tall, and the only female among them is only about 1.7 meters tall. The owner of the coffee shop said that the prisoner was less than 1.8 meters tall, but said that the clothes under the windbreaker were

black...

The clothes of the three people are blue, purple, and green...

There is no black at all.

"Why, how could this happen?"

After asking a round of questions, Takagi Wataru was completely confused.

How come there is no match between the testimony and the suspect's characteristics?

So weird!

"It's indeed a bit strange..."

After Conan and Takagi Wataru slipped around, they returned to the police car on duty. The two of them held their chins in unison, their faces filled with sadness.

However, when Conan encountered a problem, he extended the problem a little further:

The testimonies of three witnesses contradicted the characteristics of the three suspects...

Could it be that they were all colluding? Or is it possible that these three suspects committed the crime in a gang, and several people changed each other's clothes in the public toilet?

Conan, who has never been afraid to speculate on suspects with the utmost malice, feels that he is not far from the truth.

——Of course, this is not a conjecture that this gang committed the crime.

His eyes noticed the curb that was a long way above the pedestrian street, and the thought of arriving at the store suddenly flashed through his mind.

That’s it! Yes, that’s it!

"If what I think is correct, the prisoner's height can already be determined!" Conan looked at the three suspects sitting behind the police car with burning eyes.

The only remaining problem now is the color and gender of the prisoner's clothes...

However, when Conan's ideas are already flowing smoothly, these problems are not problems at all.

If you give him more than ten seconds, he will definitely be able to figure out the complete context of the case.

but……

"Ah, is this child lost?"

A mature female voice sounded in their ears.

Both Conan and Takagi Wataru were stunned and raised their heads.

When the former's eyes were looking at the coming person, their pupils narrowed uncontrollably: Who is this woman?!

"Ah!" Takagi Wataru exclaimed after seeing the other party, his eyes straightened a little, "Aren't you that big star? That, that, Chrissy..."

"Hey~ Chrissy Wynyard, this is my name."

Belmode took off his sunglasses and tilted his head, "Officer, do you recognize me?"

Her Japanese is deliberately a bit awkward.

Takagi Wataru was inexplicably nervous, and even saluted: "Yes! When I was working on a case with Officer Megure, I had the honor to meet Miss Chris! It was at the memorial service at the Cupido Hotel..."

Belmode raised his eyebrows and looked slightly surprised: "Oh! Are you the one who warned me about the previous case? Did something happen here again?"

She looked around in panic, as if she was worried that another murder had occurred.

"No, no, no! There's nothing here - well, it's not nothing..." Officer Takagi was just about to deny it, but suddenly remembered that he was indeed handling the case, and nodded his index finger a little embarrassed, "To be honest, this

A robbery just happened at a convenience store...ah! But please don't worry! We have the suspect under control, but we haven't found out who the real culprit is yet."

Conan: "..."

Officer Takagi! This woman is a criminal! Don’t talk to her so innocently!

Conan gestured wildly with his eyes, but Officer Takagi was busy talking and didn't pay attention at all.

What was somewhat surprising to Conan was Belmod's answer.

"Robbery?" Belmod pretended to be surprised and covered his mouth, speaking in his native language, "It's much terrible...could it be done by that suspicious person?"

"Suspicious person?"

Conan and Officer Takagi opened their eyes wide.

Could it be?

Belmod nodded vigorously: "Yes, I was walking on the street in front of me when suddenly a very well-dressed man rushed out... I can't believe that man was actually wearing a windbreaker in this weather!

At that time, he rushed out of the crowd and almost hit me, but fortunately I escaped quickly."

She even touched her chest as if she was scared.

Conan also temporarily ignored Belmod's identity at this time, and stared at her with Takagi Wataru: "Man? Are you sure the man in the trench coat and helmet is a man?"

"Huh? That's right. I don't think his running posture looks like a girl's."

"Then, what's the other person's height?"

"In terms of height...it should be about the same as me."

Belmode stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

Takagi Wataru then asked: "Excuse me, Miss Chris, did you see clearly the color of the prisoner's clothes under his windbreaker?"

Belmode was stunned for a moment, then he apologized and put his hand on the sunglasses on his hat, "I'm sorry, because until just now, I was wearing sunglasses and couldn't see very clearly...Eh? Officer

?What’s wrong with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Conan and Takagi Wataru suddenly seemed to realize something. They glanced at each other, immediately put aside Belmode, and both stared at one of the three people sitting behind the police car.

"Then it seems that this is the person, right?"

"Ah, there's no mistake, it must be him."

"But why did the old man say that the prisoner was a woman in Tsing Yi?" Takagi Wataru was still a little troubled.

Conan had figured everything out and said confidently: "It's very simple, Officer Takagi, because in the old man's mind, cyan can refer to both blue and green, and we don't differentiate between cyan and green like we do now.

Come on, as for the prisoner being a female... Officer Takagi, did you notice his watch?"

"Generally, men's watches face outwards, while women's watches face inward..."

Through the reminder, Takagi Wataru also noticed the key and showed a look of surprise:

"I see!"

aside.

Belmode, who witnessed everything: "..."

Come on, if she is such a big member of an organization standing here, cool guy is too worried, right?

It's a shame she didn't mean any harm.

Watching a little speechlessly as they handcuffed the murderer whom Gin had recognized in five minutes before, Belmode let out a long breath and had to speak out again to attract their attention:

"Well, is this the end? Then, should I take my leave first?"

Takagi Wataru, Chris, met and recognized the witness. She said she would stay in Europe for a short time. Takagi Wataru asked for an autograph, and the latter said she was going to Osaka.
