[ Discontinued ] Crossroad 『Detective Conan』

Chapter 30 - What was not filmed『1/3』

-I have to go to this parade? Yoko asks.
-Yes ! It is important ! Genta insisted.
-But Conan-kun said...
- It will not be the same to see on TV than to watch in real life! Ayumi cut.
The former high school girl sighed and got up from the couch she was on. This parade was a football parade, and unlike her friends, she didn't like it.

The young girl had been at Agasa's since this morning with her friends. She hadn't been back there since the day she had spoken to Conan and Ai.
Coming had changed her mind, because she was still asking herself so many questions. She hadn't had time to talk about it again with her two comrades but hoped to be able to do so. Maybe while they were on their way to the famous parade?

The former high school student therefore put on her shoes, being obliged to accompany them, and went out with them. She put her hands in her pockets with a sigh, trying not to be left behind. The children were talking happily, with Conan who was passionate about football. Even Ai seemed interested.
-Well... It will be another time... She sighed.

The group therefore arrived at a place where there was an excited crowd. There was no mistake about the place at least. Unfortunately, it was complicated to see what was there.
-We should have come earlier... Ai sighed, crossing her arms.
-If we sneak between people we should be able to see something! Mitsuhiko suggested.
The latter therefore tried to approach, followed by the rest of the children. But they couldn't go to the security barrier, unable to move forward.

-There are too many people... Complained Yoko, trying not to be jostled.
-What amazes me is that they organized a parade for a football victory... Ai sighed.
It was true that it was not the most common. Or a priori. The tie-up brunette didn't know much about it.
-Not surprising. Each year, the Tokyo Spirits declare that they will be champions and this year finally, for the first time since the creation of the pro league, they are champions! The match during which it was decided was very spectacular with an unexpected victory. Conan explained.
-Yes ! They were down one to zero and in second half stoppage time, Hide equalized! Added Ayumi.
-And just after going into extra time, Naoki scored a golden goal! Enriched Mitsuhiko
-It was great !

The bespectacled girl sighed again. She must have struggled to fully understand everything and absolutely did not know the players mentioned.
-It's no use staying here if it's not to see anything... She said to the attention of the children.
-It's a shame... I had specially brought my video camera... And you, Yoko-san, you could have taken great pictures...
The freckled boy looked annoyed.
-Come on, it doesn't matter! Anyway, I've programmed my VCR, so we can watch this quietly later. Agasa announced.
This did not seem to convince the children.

Genta looked around before stepping out of the crowd.
- Hey! From here we can see something! he shouted to get attention.
He was pointing to a trash can, towards which he was heading while his friends joined him.
-It's true ! By climbing on the lid of the trash can! Ayumi exclaimed.
All therefore joined their comrades who climbed on the trash can.

- So you see it well? Asked the boy with freckles once near his comrade.
The latter took a moment before answering, time to judge whether he saw or not.
-I distinguish their silhouettes... But as for the face...
He got on his tiptoes at the same time, before the trash can started to tip over, causing him to fall.
-How are you ? Yoko worried a little.
-Yeah... If only there was something a little higher... The concerned grumbled.
- So could you pick up the trash please?
The kid with the glasses was helping to put it away with the help of Conan and Agasa. And the fact that the bigger boy in the group was ignoring her annoyed her a little. But she couldn't do anything about it.

That's how the kids moved from the trash can to a mailbox where Genta carried Mitsuhiko to gain height.
-I don't think it's a good idea... Yoko sighed.
- Let them be. If they get reprimanded it will be their fault.
Ai wasn't wrong. But the former high school student didn't want to be involved in this. And she also wanted to prevent them from hurting themselves, even if they would have wanted to.

As she was about to ask them to come down, someone intervened before her.
-Oe! You ! It's not good to put yourself in such a place!
She was a woman with long hair and sunglasses.
-Ah, I'm sorry... I'm bringing him back down... Apologized Agasa who put Mitsuhiko back on the ground.
-What do you care, oba-san?! Grumbled Genta descending in turn.
-"Oba-san"!? Hey, I'm not that old! Since you don't want to listen to me... I'm going to have to stop you! The woman announced, taking off her glasses and her wig.
-Sato-keiji! Shouted the girl with the glasses only half surprised.
The voice of the policewoman was recognizable when we recognized her, but at the time, the young girl no longer knew who she belonged to.

-What are you doing in that outfit? Conan asked.
-I say ! You didn't go to work to be able to see the parade! Deducts Mitsuhiko.
-Yes ! That's why you're in disguise! Added Ayumi.
-But no ! Actually, I'm on duty. Earlier, we received a fax at the prefecture that said "Today at the Tokyo Spirits Parade, something fun will happen." This fax looks a lot like a piece of an investigation we worked on previously. And since the criminal we're looking for knows our faces, we disguised ourselves. Explained the policewoman.
-"We" ? Repeated the group of children.
-I'm with Matsuda-kun and Takagi-kun.
-It's probably a bad joke from a supporter who didn't like the victory of the Spirits. Jinpei announced approaching the group.
Turning, Sato was surprised to see that her colleague was not disguised.
