They need to rescue the kidnapped professor.
Conan and co. are chasing the culprits!
Moreover, the Goddess of Wind, Hagiwara Chihaya has descended!

---------------------------------------

Editor: The Goddess of Wind, Hagiwara Chihaya entered the scene--

	I see...
	Your acquaintance, Prof. Agasa, was mistaken for someone else and kidnapped at the French restaurant...
	They shot him in the thigh and trapped him in the car's trunk and now he’s severely wounded...
	And as you said, the motive of the abduction is...
	The other day, President Nanjou boasted on TV… "If you want to open the safe, you should steal me instead"
	Not only does Prof. Agasa have a similar build, he switched clothes with him for some reason…
	And then was mistakenly abducted!
	It's probably to make President Nanjou open the safe for them!
	Moreover, you were somehow able to trace and chase them on your skateboard, but their car hit you, and here we are now...
	Yes...
	Ah, I can trace them by using my glasses which show the location of the detective badge the professor has with him...
	I talked with him through the badge and learnt that he was shot in the thigh...
	...Do you believe them?
	My stories...

---------------------------------------

Page 3

	If you say so...
	I guess it’s true...
	Eh?
	Anyway, how could you enter the highway with your skateboard?
	W-well...
	I hid behind a car at the toll booth...
	And snuck in...
	Are you this child's company?
	Yes...
	Then you two should return to the restaurant and tell President Nanjou what happened!
	And that until everything cools down, he should not show his face...
	The kidnappers may kill Prof. Agasa and dump his body somewhere if they realize that they abducted the wrong person!
	E-exactly!
	But "you two"...
	What about Conan-kun?
	If this child has a way to trace the kidnappers' location,
	I have to bring him along...

---------------------------------------

Page 4

	Capt. Hagiwara! I've come here as I was told, but what is going on...?
	I need you to lend your helmet… to this child over here!
	... Do you really want to chase them with this child on your back!?
	Of course!
	But doesn’t 2 people on a motorbike exceed the passenger limit!?
	I'll deal with that later!
	Don't worry about it!
	But how can I return without a helmet...?
	Walk with it!
	Wai-!?
	Professor! Are you still able to talk!?
	Yes, somehow...
	Did the kidnappers say anything about their destination or something else...?
	I noticed two specific things that they mentioned...

---------------------------------------

Page 5

	The man who shot me said, "isn't it bad if he dies?", to which the woman replied...
	"Even if he dies, it’s okay if we do it within 5 hours"...
	So, maybe they'll use my eyeballs...
	Ah, it's an iris recognition system!
	If the registrar dies, their irises can be used within 5 hours...
	That sort of security’s even used in safes, right…
	Yes!
	So they aim to open the safe after all!
	And? What is the other thing you noticed?
	It's also something the woman said...
	"If necessary..."
	"We can just change it"...
	"When necessary, we can just change it"...
	Is that about a vehicle change!?
	Anyway, as long as they are still on the highway,
	Catching them is just a matter of time!
	Don't make any noise which alerts them about the badge!
	U-understood...

---------------------------------------

Page 6

	Isn’t it weird?
	What's weird?
	That kid that we hit just now!
	How could he find our car?
	Come to think of it, that president in the trunk did do something...
	And what is that "something"?
	Didn't we throw that geezer's smartphone away?
	Maybe he had some alternatives?
	Anyway...
	I think we need...
	to check...
	Yokohama 690, understood!
	The inspection on this area's main roads and highway exits has just finished!
	And of course, we didn't catch them...
	Hm?

---------------------------------------

Page 7

	What's wrong? Young boy...
	Professor hasn't answered for a while...
	And the position of the badge isn’t changing...
	Wai...
	Stop!!
	They found his badge...
	From here on, we can't keep in touch with him anymore...
	They may have exited the highway before the inspection started...
	Then, what about the number?
	Do you remember their car's plate number?
	I remember, but since the plate has a Hiragana "shi", it must be a fake one!
	We don't use "shi" since it's associated with death, do we?
	So maybe...

---------------------------------------

Page 8

	Look! This is the fake license plate that they threw away!
	I think they are running with another plate now!
	Got it... "when necessary, we can just change it” was about the license plate!
	They probably threw away the plate while getting rid of the badge!
	I hoped that we didn't get into trouble, but...
	So, how do we continue our chase...
	Did we...
	run out of plans?
	No, we didn't!
	I still have a way!!
	There’s never any need to give up!!
	Kenji...
	What a geezer!
	Bringing a tiny transceiver with him!
	Hm? Did you kill him?

---------------------------------------

Page 9

	Nah, I just stunned him with my stun gun!
	There are people watching on the highway!
	Did you change the plate?
	Of course! Getting off the highway early on was right after all!
	If the geezer contacted the police, they wouldn’t let us exit, and we’d be done, right...
	We can't let our guards down on these roads either...
	If they inspect our car's trunk, it's game over...
	A listening device?
	Yes!
	His glasses' temple tips are the same as mine...
	If we detach them, they can be used as listening devices!
	They can collect sounds, so...
	We still have enough chance of finding them!
	Heh...
	You sure do resemble my younger brother a bit...
	Huh?
	What are you saying?
	Never mind...
	If you hear any strange sound, let me know!

---------------------------------------

Page 10

	What!?
	Professor Agasa was mistaken as President Nanjou and got kidnapped?
	Really?
	Yes!
	A white motorbike officer and Conan-kun are chasing after them!
	But this place has a 2-year long waitlist, you know?
	How could the culprits reserve a place here?
	No...
	They didn't reserve anything...
	They waited for suitable guests to come to this car park...
	And used their names to enter the reservation area!
	I looked on the Internet, and it seemed...
	That the president boasted about being here today...
	These two have two spots on each of their necks...
	They look like burns...
	They may have been stun-gunned...
	But who on earth could do this terrible thing...
	They're the wanted homicidal robbers......

---------------------------------------

Page 11

	The married couple Chien Daiya and Rokue!
	We checked the CCTV footage of this car park, and also confirmed it with the staff of this restaurant!
	We’re sure of it!!
	You are Inspector Yokomizo... the younger, right?
	Long time no see!
	When I received a report about the matter, I thought it couldn't be you, but it indeed WAS you!
	The whole grim reaper family which always shows up with incidents!
	The grim reaper family...
	Hm?
	Is the brat with glasses not here?
	He is chasing the kidnappers with a white motorbike officer...
	Her name is Hagiwara...
	And she said that if the kidnappers realized that they got the wrong one, Prof. Agasa's life would be in danger, so...
	President Nanjou should hide his face!
	Yes... If it's about that president, we took him to the station to question him,
	But don't tell me the white motor biker named Hagiwara is...
	Yes! She looked as beautiful as a goddess...
	And her name is "Chihaya"!!
	So you’re telling me that...
	Chihaya is with that child right now!?

---------------------------------------

Page 12
	Ah!
	It's the sound of a bell!
	(SFX: bell sound)
	A firefighter's bell is ringing!
	Perhaps the culprits' car is passing by it...
	Understood!
	(SFX: beep)
	Yokohama 690 to Kanagawa headquarter!
	Kanagawa HQ is listening!
	Are there any issues within our jurisdiction that require dispatching a firefighter?
	There are fires at Shoutou building in 2nd block, Akaba-ku, and the apartment complex in 5th block, Hatomi-ku...
	There are 2 places?
	I think it's the place whose fire has been put out!
	There were bell sounds, but not siren sounds...
	And it went like "ding-dong, ding-dong" twice, so...
	Isn't that the signal used after a fire is extinguished?
	The fire which has been extinguished is the Shoutou building one...
	If they are returning to the nearest station from there...
	Then they’re on Tatehama avenue!
	Which means...
	This road!!

---------------------------------------

Page 13

	The kidnappers' car may be at the end of this road!
	Ah! Another sound...
	(SFX: Pa-po-pa-po-)
	It's the pedestrian traffic light's sound!
	They’re probably waiting at a traffic light somewhere!
	I can also hear turning signal sounds, so perhaps they are about to turn left or right...
	The only place on this road that uses the heterogeneous ringing method is…
	The crossroad at the 3rd block!
	(SFX: Pyo pyo pyo pyo, "chirping" sound)
	Ah! The sounds turned to that of a young bird's!
	If they keep making that kind of sound...
	Then they are turning right...
	When turning right, there are many vehicles coming from the opposite direction, so it takes much longer!
	If they turn right from the 3rd crossroad...
	Then they’re taking the Tatesuka 3rd Line to the North!
	Good job, boy!
	That end has an inspection position!
	They’re already like rats in a trap!
	Professor...
	Please be safe...

---------------------------------------

Page 14

	What!?
	You still haven't caught the kidnappers’ car!?
	Yes...
	Is it a white Camry?
	There were many cars of the same brand...
	But of different colors passing through here, but...
	They have to pass through here to reach the 3rd line to go North...
	What if they saw the inspection and turned back?
	Then they must have met us, right?
	Hey!
	While coming here, I briefly heard...
	the "piroron piroron" sounds of a convenience store's doors opening from the bug...
	So maybe, the culprits stopped the car for a while by the store!
	But what would they do in a convenience store?
	If it's convenience stores...
	There was a driver passing through this inspection who said some strange things...
	Eh?

---------------------------------------

Page 15

	Upon leaving, they asked "is there some kind of event?"...
	To that, I asked back, "why are you asking that"...
	They replied, " there were some people who bought lots of tea PET bottles from the convenience store"...
	Lots of...
	Tea?
	On top of that, they were all hot tea, almost 20 bottles of them...
	So they thought this is an inspection for an event which some celebrities are coming to...
	And the tea was for the event's staff...
	However, they only bought tea...
	But no onigiri or sandwiches...
	That's why they said that they thought it was strange!
	Tea...
	Hot...
	20 bottles...
	What is it!?
	And those people... also bought umbrellas!
	There's no rain, and the sunlight is not that strong, but they bought deep blue umbrellas...
	Umbrellas?
	Apart from shielding from rain and sunlight, another reason for buying umbrellas is...
	To obstruct view, and to hide something...
	Hide!?

---------------------------------------

Page 16

	That's it, they changed it while hiding it!
	Because it stands out if left untouched!!
	What the culprit said, "if necessary we can just change it"...
	That wasn’t about the license plate...
	but about this thing!!
	I now know the trick they used to pass through the inspection!
	All that’s left is to catch them!
	Please wait, Professor!
	I'm definitely gonna save you now!!
Editor: Next chapter, super acceleration! The resolution will be brought to you on a big, noisy sound!

Appendix: about the heterogeneous ringing method (異種鳴き交わし方法 on page 13)

It's a sound system to help visually impaired people cross the road. At each end of a pedestrian crossing, a chirp or cuckoo sound will be emitted when the pedestrian green (or blue in Japan) light is on, at 1.5-second intervals. "Heterogeneous" means the sound at each end is different from the other ("chirp"/"chirp-chirp" or "cuckoo"/"cucuckoo"), so that people can distinguish which end they came from, and which one they are going to. You can get an illustration diagram of this system at www.pref.nagano.lg.jp/police/anshin/kisei/nakikawashi.html, or a Google Image search.
