Chapter 300: Arrest

"Ah, it's the big brother from last time!" Genta suddenly realized when he saw the blond man entering the elevator.

"Oh... I'm really sorry about the last time, I suddenly had no recollection..." The blond man apologized to Genta.

"It's okay!" Genta smiled and waved his hand upon hearing the man's words. "And, I've remembered where I saw the robber with you, big brother!"

"Shh! Keep it down..." the blond man gestured, crouched down, and whispered, "That guy might be watching us nearby!"

"So, big brother, you..."

"That's right, it's just like that. I had to rack my brain to remember it," the blond man replied.

The blond man looked at Genta with a slightly sinister smile and said, "It's good that we bumped into each other. Let's find a place with no one around to compare our testimonies and see if there are any inconsistencies. Otherwise, we might make the trip for nothing."

"Okay, big brother," Genta nodded blankly upon hearing this, showing no signs of suspicion.

"Then let's go to the restroom and have a chat," the blond man suggested.

As he said this, the man with the blond, bushy hair had already taken a knife out of his back pocket, clearly no longer concealing his malicious intent.

He was waiting for the elevator doors to open so he could lure Genta to the restroom and give him a few stabs.

But at that moment, the man with sunglasses and a hat, who had been inconspicuous all along, suddenly spoke up, pointing at the man crouching in the elevator. "That's right, it's him! That robber!! I remember... your name Someda, it was on the customer list!"

"What? Who are you!?" The blond man's face turned pale as he heard the man next to him point at him and say that. He stared at the other man with a hostile warning, "I warn you, don't talk nonsense, be careful of the consequences!"

"Ding dong~ creak—"

As the elevator doors slowly opened, they arrived on the seventh floor, and a male voice slowly spoke, "Left-handed, T-shirt with the number '202' imprinted on a skull, even if you tell the officers such testimony, they probably won't find the robber.

After all, that's the mirror image of you, completely opposite information!

The real information is the 'SOS' and right-handed!"

"You... you're the officer from earlier... and you guys..." The blond man, upon seeing Senichi and the group of little brats gathered around him, realized he had been duped and was sweating profusely.

"If it were you in the mirror, and Genta was always watching you. Then No eye contact would make sense," Conan said with a mischievous smile and his hands in his pockets. "After all, back then, you didn't even notice Genta, did you?"

"Mirror in front, Genta would definitely go there, and the place that would make someone drowsy is a barber shop," Senichi said, smiling at the panicked blond man. "I have to say, you're quite lucky. The reason Genta thought you witnessed the culprit's appearance with him is because you dyed your hair gold while he was half asleep."

"Originally, with your black hair and glasses, you suddenly turned into a guy with golden hair, completely changing your appearance. Plus, the barber's robe covered your clothes, so it's natural for Genta to mistake you for someone else."

"Hahaha... Officer-san, don't joke around!!" The blond man stammered in panic. "If... if you insist that I'm the robber, then show me the evidence!"

"Haven't you realized yet?" Conan pointed to the man behind the blond man who had identified him and said with a smile, "That guy is the barber who dyed your hair!"

Someda, in shock, turned his head to look behind him, and the man next to him, wearing sunglasses, also removed his sunglasses and the fake beard sticking to his mouth. That familiar face instantly plunged Someda into despair.

"I have to say, you're really lucky. The barber shop doesn't have a TV, and the owner is always busy with work and hasn't seen the broadcasted information about the criminal. On his daily commute, there are no posters with your wanted picture."

Senichi looked at the panicked Someda with a half-smile and said, "You've played your cards well. Dyeing your hair yellow was a clever move. During routine police patrols, they really wouldn't pay much attention to you.

Before the robbery, if you dyed your hair back to black, put on a mask to cover your face, and then dyed it back again afterward, it wouldn't arouse suspicion."

"But for now, I'll need your cooperation in my work. Let me collect your fingerprints and compare them to the ones left on the purse by the robber earlier. If it's not you, there's nothing to be afraid of, right?"

"Heh... hehe..." Someda lowered his head, pointing towards Genta, his voice trembling slightly. "So, all those things you did on the way here..."

"Of course, it was all part of the acting to lure you into the trap," Genta smirked at Someda with an expression that was asking for trouble.

"Not only that, the ice cream at the corner of my mouth was similar to the foam used before shaving."

"The three colors of the French flag were meant to make you think of the revolving lights outside the barbershop."

"Finally, Genta's reflection in the glass represents the mirror."

Accompanied by the silent recounting of the traps set along the way by the three little ones, the words spoken by the children were like wordless blades, cutting deep into Someda's heart with their silent mockery.

"All of this was meant to make you believe that Genta had remembered where he saw you, so you would willingly fall into the trap we set."

Hiabara emotionlessly shrugged. "It seems I worried too much. With Officer Senichi around, someone like you is no problem at all."

"Hahahaha!"

Mocked by several elementary school kids, and recalling his fear and panic earlier because of Genta's performance on the way, Someda's chest swelled with rage like an explosion.

"What's so funny?!" Someda pulled out a knife, his face twisted in a grotesque manner. "Die!"

But before he could even fully draw the knife, the right hand holding the knife was firmly restrained by a stylishly dressed woman from behind.

In the next moment, before Someda could comprehend what was happening, Senichi took a lightning-fast step and rushed to stand in front of Someda. He formed his right hand into a palm with fingers curled, and with his elbow bent downward, he delivered a powerful palm strike to the underside of Someda's chin.

Meanwhile, Sato Miwako swiftly twisted his wrist and disarmed him.

Then, several burly men swarmed in and pinned Someda to the ground.

With this, the robber who had been causing headaches for the police recently was finally captured in the dragnet.

"I really appreciate your help this time."

Watching Someda being escorted away, Senichi smiled and then waved his hand grandly then he said to kids, "What would you like to eat today? My treat."

Hearing this, the kids exchanged glances and then unanimously exclaimed, "French cuisine!"
