Chapter 798: The Man of You
I don’t know what Mao Lilan suddenly thought of. She was stunned for a moment. Not only did she fail to subdue the robber who was running towards her, but she was directly knocked away by the robber, allowing the robber to escape from her.
"Ah!" Mao Lilan screamed.
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko walked over quickly and saw this scene. She couldn't help but say, "Really? Can't you just use your karate to deal with a guy like that?"
Mao Lilan said apologetically: "I'm sorry."
However, Suzuki Sonoko did not mean to blame Mouri Ran. She even squatted down to help Mouri pick up the coins that were scattered on the ground in her purse after she was hit by the robber.
Hearing what Mao Lilan said, Suzuki Sonoko immediately said: "Forget it, Xiaolan, I'm glad you're not hurt. Anyway, there's nothing important in my bag."
At this time, Aoki Matsu and his group, who heard the voices of Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Ran, also ran over.
Maori Kogoro saw Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko squatting on the ground, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"I was robbed and my things were stolen." Suzuki Sonoko replied unhappily: "The robber cut the strap with a knife and took my bag."
Mao Lilan added: "Also, the robber was wearing a mask."
"Mask?!" Kogoro Mouri was stunned when he heard this.
Mao Lilan nodded, and then said: "It's the mask of 'Fire Man'."
"The fire man's mask." Conan was a little surprised. "Isn't that what was reported in the news last week..."
"The Man of the Rooster!" Qing Mu Song replied with a serious expression: "Last week, at the Rooster Day Market held at the Sanni Shrine, someone wearing a 'Fire Man' mask robbed people."
Also, because the word "酉" in "酉日之市" has the same pronunciation as the word "抢" (robbery) in Neon language, the robber is called "酉之男".
According to the clues the police have, this man is about 160-170 cm tall, wearing a "Fire Man" mask and a coat with a hat. It is estimated that he is a man between 20 and 30 years old.
"It seems that last week's case was not an isolated incident, but a series of incidents!" said Aoki Matsu.
"Very good!" Suzuki Sonoko immediately became more motivated after hearing this. "I must avenge this. I will definitely come to the next Rooster Day Market at Ranburi Shrine!"
"Ah!" Several people were stunned when they heard this.
Maori Kogoro said angrily: "How do you know that the robber will definitely appear at this shrine next time?"
"You don't understand, this is a woman's sixth sense!" Suzuki Sonoko said confidently.
Shinna Kaori suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Is Suzuki Sonoko planning to draw the love fortune again?"
what!
This is indeed something Suzuki Sonoko would do.
Because Suzuki Sonoko had been robbed, everyone quickly left Ranburita Shrine and went to the nearby police station to be questioned by the police.
Based on the evidence obtained from the two cases, the police predict that he is likely to commit crimes again, and will deploy additional police forces to increase security in the city as the third Rooster Day is approaching at the end of the month.
However, there are 30 shrines hosting the Rooster Day Market in Tokyo alone, and more than 50 in the entire Kanto region. Can they catch the person as they wish?
It seems like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, considering Suzuki Sonoko's "lofty ambitions", it seems that there is no need to look for a needle in a haystack.
***
The day is coming soon.
Aoki Matsu came to Ranburi Shrine in plain clothes with Maori Ran and Conan.
After waiting for a while, Suzuki Sonoko also came over. When she saw Mao Lilan, she exclaimed: "Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? It's rare to see you wearing a long skirt!"
Mao Lilan said shyly: "That's because it's a bit cold today! So I think it's good to wear it like this. However, Suzuki Sonoko seems to be dressed more maturely than usual."
When Suzuki Sonoko was asked back by Mouri Ran, her eyes instantly became starry. "Yes, is that so? It doesn't matter. I'm going to take revenge!" Then Suzuki Sonoko took Mouri Ran's hand and ran forward.
"Ah!" Ran Maoli heard the words and was dragged by Suzuki Sonoko and asked hurriedly: "Do you know where the man of the sea is?"
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly stopped, pointed ahead and said, "No, I want to draw the lot again!"
[As expected, what Kaori said was right. Suzuki Sonoko, you really are worthy of being called that!] Aoki Matsu complained in his mind upon seeing this.
Mao Lilan was speechless. "You, you mean this when you say revenge?"
Conan was very upset when he saw this. He knew how unreliable Suzuki Sonoko was.
[Draw again, there is no point in drawing lots like this! ]
"I must draw a good lot!" Suzuki Sonoko, who originally had a bit of ladylike temperament, showed her true colors in an instant when it was her turn to draw the lot. She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to change her fate.
At this moment, a girl screamed shrilly from behind, "Ahhhhhh!!!"
"It's the Man of You, the Man of You appears again!" Accompanied by screams, a woman ran towards the crowd in panic from a dark path next to a building.
Suzuki Sonoko said in surprise: "No way!"
Mao Lilan was also very surprised. "Did it really appear again?"
Seeing this, Qing Musong rushed towards the dark path.
Conan also ran over with Aoki Matsu.
After running a few steps, Aoki Matsu and Conan saw a group of people gathered in front of them.
"What are you looking at? What's going on with this backpack?" asked Aoki Matsu.
A man watching answered, "It belongs to the man of the Rooster."
Another man with a red scarf wrapped around his head added, "It was the man from the Rooster who threw it at the person chasing after him."
At this time, Mao Lilan, who had followed, immediately asked, "So which direction did the Rooster Man flee to now!?"
"He ran towards the park." said another man, pointing at the dark park.
Seeing this, Qing Musong took out his criminal ID and said to the people outside: "Detective, let me check the contents of this bag now."
Then Aoki Matsu took out the gloves he carried with him and put them on, opened his backpack, and poured out everything inside, including shoulder bags and wallets all over the floor.
"Suzuki Sonoko, is there the bag that was stolen by the robber?" Aoki Matsu turned his head and looked at Suzuki Sonoko and asked.
"Hmm..." Suzuki Sonoko came closer, squatted down and took a look, and then found her bag that was stolen before. "Ah! My bag! This bag is mine!"
Qing Mu Song stopped Suzuki Sonoko from picking up the bag and reminded her, "Wait until the police arrive. If you take it now, it will be taken away by the police as evidence later."
Suzuki Sonoko didn't force it after hearing this, "Brother Aoki, I understand."
While notifying the police, Aoki Matsu was thinking about this matter in his mind.
It's a bit strange!
Suzuki Sonoko's bag was robbed last week. Why did the robber keep it and bring it here today? Wasn't it heavy to carry?
Conan was also thinking about this strange point.
[This means that it was not done by a copycat, but why...]
Suddenly Conan noticed something and said quickly, "Brother Aoki, look here!"
Qing Musong looked over when he heard this, his face becoming serious. "It's blood. There's blood on the straps of the backpack!"
After thinking for a while, Qing Musong turned to the crowd and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the man escaped from?"
"It's over there, where a lot of people are gathering." A man said, pointing to another place behind him that was surrounded by several people.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing this, Qing Musong hurried over, pushed through the crowd, and saw a man with glasses leaning against a tree. His face was pale, his breathing was rapid, and there was a pool of blood on his abdomen.
Someone called out, "Are you okay? Hold on."
Another person also said: "Hold on, the ambulance has been called."
"Criminal!" Qing Musong stepped forward and squatted down to check the man's injuries, and asked the person next to him, "Was he stabbed by You Zhinan?"
The person next to him nodded immediately and replied, "Yes, I heard a groan, so I looked over here, and I saw a man wearing a fire man mask, and he ran away quickly with the bag from this man. I think it must be the Rooster Man who wanted to steal his bag, because he resisted and was stabbed."
"No... not the Rooster Man... ah..." The bespectacled man who was stabbed suddenly endured the pain, opened one eye, looked at Qing Musong, and said with difficulty: "Monkey!"
"Hey, what does that mean!?" a person nearby asked in confusion.
"What does monkey mean?" asked Aoki Matsu.
"Weren't you stabbed by the man from You?" another person asked in surprise.
The words that the stabbed man wanted to say were stuck in his throat because of his severe injuries. At the last moment, he stretched out his hands to Qing Musong with all his strength, made a "nine" gesture, and then completely lost consciousness and fell towards Qing Musong.
The passers-by on the side were panicked when they saw this, "Hey, cheer up."
"Sir!" Qing Musong quickly checked his breathing and found that he was still breathing. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then Qing Musong laid the man with glasses flat on the ground, pressed on the wound, and helped him stop the bleeding.
[Not the Rooster Man, Monkey, and the last gesture is also nine...] Conan repeated the last words of the man with glasses in his mind, wondering what they meant.
Not long after, the ambulance arrived and took the man with glasses away for emergency treatment.
Soon after, Maruta Ayumi, Takagi Wataru, Sato Miwako and others also arrived.
"The man who originally just wanted to rob a backpack now wants to kill someone. The nature of the case has become even worse!" Sato Miwako came to the tree where the man with glasses was stabbed, and looked at the bloodstains under the tree with a frown and a serious expression.
At this time, Takagi Wataru also learned about the stabbed man from the police officers at the hospital and came to report: "Officer Aoki, the identity of the victim stabbed by the man has been found out. He is Mashiko Shiro, who lives in Haido Town. He is 21 years old this year. At the same time, he is currently a repeater who is determined to enter the Department of Literature at Touto University."
Upon hearing this, Qing Musong immediately asked, "How is the other party's injury?"
"The wound was not deep, but he was temporarily unconscious due to the pain and mental stress. He should be able to regain consciousness after resting for a while, that's what the doctor said." Takagi Shigeru replied, and then said: "Mr. Mashiko's bag was also found in the suspect's backpack, and we confirmed his identity based on the driver's license inside."
Aoki Matsu nodded when he heard this. Many people in capitalist countries are not used to using ID cards, or even don't have any. Their driver's license is their ID card.
"Inspector, in this case it couldn't have been done by a copycat." Maruta Ayumi said upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru interrupted and said, "Inspector Aoki, we have just contacted the first and second victims of the Rooster Day Market. It turns out that the Rooster Man who appeared in the third Rooster Day today is the same person as before."
Qing Musong nodded and said, "It is indeed impossible to be an imitation."
Just a little weird.
"The only clues now are the man wearing the fire mask, the 'monkey' mentioned by Mr. Yizi, and the 'nine' gestured. These are the three clues," said Aoki Matsu.
Although these three clues are indeed clues, they are somewhat unrelated and there is no way to screen the suspects.
At this moment, Aihara Yoji came running over and shouted, "Inspector, the man of the sea has been caught!"
Qing Musong was a little surprised when he heard this. Was it so easy to catch the criminal?
This is a bit too fast.
Some of them don't seem like scientific cases.
"Really?" Maruta Ayumi said excitedly.
Aihara Yoji ran over, took a breath, and finished the second half of his sentence: "But there are three people!"
Everyone: "..."
[Classic, too classic, choose one of three] Aoki Matsu couldn't help but complain.
Aihara Yoji further explained: "Those who were chasing after the man said they saw him run into the toilet in the park, so they called the police. After receiving the call, the nearby police station immediately rushed to the toilet in the park. There were only three people in the toilet at the time."
"I understand. Let's go over first!" Aoki Matsu called to Sato Miwako who was still checking the traces on the ground.
"Yes!"
Everyone came to the park toilet.
Looking at the men and women who were surrounding the toilet and holding up their phones to take pictures, Qing Musong frowned and looked at the two police officers guarding the toilet and asked, "What's going on?"
"Captain, this is what happened when we got here. There are already so many people gathered around the toilet." The police officer replied.
So, when it comes to watching the fun, there is no distinction between countries or races.
"After hearing your shouting, are the people who came out of the toilet the three men?" Qingshui asked the three people standing at the toilet door.
"Yes." A police officer replied, "According to the testimony of eyewitnesses, the man named You Zhinan did run into the men's restroom. After we asked the three people to come out, we immediately checked the restroom and found a blood-stained knife and down jacket in the tool room, as well as a Fire Man mask thrown there."
