304. Look at thin clouds, sparse stars and moon

"Sorry, can you please wait until you catch the kidnapper before taking a shower?"

Conan squatted next to the carpet, "Because the stains were very important evidence left by the kidnapper accidentally when he pressed Akimi on the overturned coffee and rolled her in the carpet, so he couldn't take a shower yet."

"Ah? I really can't even take a shower before I catch the kidnapper?" Ayumi said aggrievedly.

"It's nothing, just endure it a little longer." Conan smiled confidently, "because everyone will attack the kidnapper's nest together."

"Do you already know who the kidnapper is?" Ai Haibara and others said in surprise.

"I think it must be someone the doctor knows." Conan stood up and said calmly.

"You said the person I know? Could it be..." Dr. Agasa was stunned at first, then pointed in a certain direction, and said in surprise: "Ms. Eiri is actually a kidnapper?"

"...Of course not." Conan's eyes hopped and he said speechlessly: "That picture is just as Dr. Agasa, you said. The kidnapper randomly selected the pictures and sent it. Of course, it was just a coincidence that he used the cat of the Concubine Lawyer."

"Choose whatever you want?" Mitsuhiko asked in confusion: "It means that the purpose of the kidnapper is not to kidnap Ai Mi to find that cat?"

"No, any reason is OK," Conan said. "As long as you can wrap Azumi in a carpet from this room, you can move it away with any reasonable reason."

"In other words, forcing us to find that cat is just an excuse?" Haibara Ai frowned.

"Yes." Conan nodded and said, "Don't you find it strange? Dr. Agasa was suddenly kidnapped and corona corona, but Azumi was only sealed with tape. Therefore, he learned from the conversation between the kidnapped that they came to find the cat whose owner had lost, and that they had to kidnap Azumi on the carpet in order to ask us to find that cat."

"It's like making arrangements to make people know about it." Chen Xing said.

"Yes, as long as Azumi is corona like Dr. Agasa, there is no need to change his voice with helium." Conan said in a deep voice: "They have only one purpose, that is, the kidnappers deliberately give in to Azumi when they heard their previous conversation. In order not to give in to Azumi, their real purpose is to steal the carpet wrapped around Azumi."

"It's actually a carpet?" Dr. Agasa said in surprise.

"That old carpet is not very valuable either." Yuan Tai said puzzled.

Conan said: "Didn't Dr. Agasa just said that although the back was a little dirty, the front was returned without even a single stain.

Logically speaking, when Arimi was wrapped in a carpet, the coffee on her coat and hat was obviously touching her ears. It seems that there will be coffee stains on the carpet."

He touched the carpet, "But now, there was no stain."

Haibara Ai said, "So that's it. It's because the carpet was replaced. Just when I was drinking water for Yoshida."

"Yes, I specially chose to let Mei come out to drink water in the dark to prevent her from finding the carpet being dropped." Conan said: "And in order to be able to exchange it immediately, they found a carpet with very similar colors and put it in the car."

Chen Xing nodded. This was consistent with his guess just now, but he first thought it was a Persian carpet, but after touching it, he realized it was not.

But if he had to say the basis, he couldn't say it, he could only say it was due to intuition.

Mitsuhiko frowned and said, "But even so, there is no need to kidnap Azumi."

Yuan Tai said: "That's right, wouldn't it be better to just steal the carpet?"

Dr. Agasa touched his chin and said, "If it is really stolen, we will definitely report theft. They can't sell it even if they want to."

Conan said lightly: "Yes, and in that video of Dr. Agasa, the carpet was photographed very clearly."

Dr. Agasa pondered: "But there should be no such despicable and shameless guy among the people I know."

"Although I know someone, I just met someone I have met once recently." Conan chuckled.

"Recently?" Dr. Agasa suddenly realized, "Are you talking about those who come to identify pots?"

"The last father and son are the most suspicious?" Yuan Tai said.

"They must know the value of the carpet and want to buy it at a cheap price." Mitsuhiko said suspiciously.

"No, on the contrary, they laughed because Dr. Agasa's offer was too low." Conan explained: "It is possible that Dr. Agasa's carpet was a Persian carpet."

When he said this, he glanced at Chen Xing with a hidden smile, which roughly means that he had just taken a look away - although the carpet in front of several people now looks very similar to the Persian carpet, it is not.

Chen Xing shook his head.

Conan continued: "There is no treasure of the same color in the world. It may be sold for ten million depending on its rarity."

"Ten million?!" Several people in the venue exclaimed.

"Well, although looking at the new and old age of the outside and inside of the pot is also a way to identify it, the father and son just touched it a little and looked inside and knew its value, which means that their vision was quite clever." Conan said: "Although I immediately saw through that carpet was a Persian carpet, it was not a kidnapper."

"Why?" Dr. Agasa said subconsciously.

Conan said: "If you want to take this carpet for yourself if you commit a kidnapping case, you can't accept the amount of 500,000, right?"

"Is the first sister who came to the kidnapper?"

"Why isn't the couple from the second group?" Conan asked back.

"Of course not." Dr. Agasa smiled and said, "The couple kindly told me that this pot is very expensive and asked me to ask an appraisal expert to take a look. They are very kind to me."

"They are talking about that pot, and to be precise, they should be suggesting that you get to the appraisal expert to help. On the other hand, it can also be explained that if someone knows that this is a Persian carpet, it will be bad, so you don't want others to come here."

Conan said: "And the opposite of the sister who had been watching the pot, the couple did not touch the pot from beginning to end, but looked carefully with a magnifying glass."

Dr. Agasa nodded blankly, "That's it."

"If the sisters who only have this pot in their eyes are possible, that couple will be different." Conan walked to the edge of the pot, "if they put the pot on the carpet, they would definitely see clearly with a magnifying glass."

"The pattern of the carpet?" Chen Xing said.

"That's right." Conan said in a voice: "I'm afraid they are not only checking whether this carpet is a Persian carpet, but also determining whether it is the carpet they are looking for.

They probably saw the carpet once somewhere else and have been very eager to get it since then, otherwise it would be impossible to work hard on a carpet that I accidentally saw on an image website.

They came here by placing an antique pot, and by the way they determined the authenticity of the carpet. They also knew that the doctor did not understand the pot, nor did they understand the value of the precious Persian carpet and the fact that they lived here with Haiyuan. So they thought of the way of crime this time."

Hearing this, Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not from the organization.

Mitsuhiko couldn't help but say, "But how do you find the hiding place for the kidnapper?"

"From the fact that they don't want to give in to Arimi to hear her real voice, it is possible that they are opening a store nearby." Conan said calmly: "So just check the store selling carpets nearby and you will know immediately."

Ai Haibara is an action faction. When the detective was reasoning, he had already searched on the computer.

Soon, she found the store, which was in Sanchome. There was a photo of the store manager on the web page. After confirmation by Dr. Agasa, it was indeed the person who had been here before.

"Do you want to go together?" Conan looked at Chen Xing and chuckled, "Look at the real Persian carpet that you were looking at."

Chen was so happy that he shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't agree.

When I went out, the moon cage was light and the stars were sparse.

Chen Xing paused slightly and glanced back quietly.

At the same time, in the dark house next door, a figure hidden behind the curtains.

"What's wrong?" Conan asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Chen Xing said without caring.
