Start By Becoming A Mangaka
Chapter 556: The Three Deliverer

"Are these three people?"

They looked at three people who had entered the apartment room.

Chiba nodded, "Yes, I have been at the entrance and all these people entered the apartment in question." He said and added, "They arrived separately, about ten minutes apart."

Sato looked at Chiba, "You have informed Inspector Megure, right?"

"Yup," Chiba nodded.

"What were you doing there?" Takagi asked.

The three of them consist of two men and one woman.

"Just delivering a package officer," the first man said.

"I'm a motorcycle courier and I came to pick up the package," the woman said.

"I came in to deliver a pizza," the last man said.

"Then did you see someone living there?" Takagi asked.

"Nah," the first man shook his head, "There was a note that said 'I'm sick in bed, leave the package on the table', I found a personal seal sitting on the table, which I used to validate the delivery."

"Same with me, I found a note on the front of the door when I showed up, it told me to pick this back up from the table," the woman said while showing the bag to everyone.

"That note also mentioned the pizza delivery, I guess it said something like, I left the money inside an envelope on the table, leave the pizza on the table and go!" the last man said.

"Staying in bed because of a fever?" Sato asked.

"Seemed legit, my dispatcher said the person who called sounded hoarse," the first man said.

"Mine too," the woman said.

"Same," the last man said.

"Hmm, but why did he have them come to his apartment one after another?" Takagi said.

"Say, there were two other people watching the entrance beside you, right, Chiba-kun?" Sato asked.

"Yeah," Chiba nodded and said, "The other two stopped the express home delivery man the bike delivery woman, I stopped the pizza delivery who came last...."

"Then nobody is watching the entrance now?" Conan asked.

"!!!!" Sato, Chiba, and Takagi were startled.

"CHIBA-KUN! TAKE CARE OF THOSE PEOPLE!!!" Sato ran to the apartment.

"I will go too, Chiba," Takagi said and ran.

"Yes!!!" Chiba answered.

Yuuki saw that Conan was also running to follow them.

"Yuuki-sama, do you want to follow them too?" Marika asked.

Yuuki shook his head, "Hmm, let's wait in here for a while."

"Do you know who is this Hummer Man, Yuuki?" Sonoko asked.

Chiba, who was listening to their conversation, was looking at both him, Marika, and Honda. He was startled, "M - Marika-ojousama!!!!"

"Chiba-san, is it?" Marika asked.

"Y - yes!!!" Chiba didn't expect to meet the daughter of the Commissioner of Police.

"Don't worry about us, you can do your job," Marika said.

"Yes," Chiba nodded.

"Excuse me, can you let us go back to our work?" the first man asked.

"Yes, my boss will get mad at me," the woman said.

"Same," the last man said.

Chiba didn't think that there was something wrong, "Sure, you can go back but we will come to you later when we have found something."

The three of them nodded and walked away but they were stopped when they heard his voice.

"Stop!" Yuuki said.

"Is there something wrong?" the first man asked.

"Yes, I'm going to be late," the woman said.

"Same," the last man said.

"Eh, why are you stopping them?" Chiba asked with a confused expression.

Yuuki looked at this police officer with a disbelief expression, "Are you going to let the suspect get away?"

"S - suspect???" Chiba was startled and the three delivery people too.

"What are you talking about?" The first man was startled.

"Yeah! There is no way that we are the suspect!" The woman said.

"Same," the last man said.

"Then you don't need to worry about waiting for a while, right? The police will help you to call your company to report that you have helped the police to help to solve the case," Honda helped him and looked at Chiba, "How many years have you become the police? They can also become an important witness for this case, what will happen when the Hammer Man suddenly attacks them."

Chiba realized his mistake, "Yes, I'm sorry about that." He looked at the three people and said, "Please cooperate with us for a while, we will let you go until the case is over."

The three delivery people had a difficult expression on their faces but there was no way that they could go back.

"Can we really not go back?" the first man asked.

Chiba nodded, "Don't worry, we will help you to call your boss."

"Then please," the first man said and gave him his phone.

"Me too, please tell my boss," the last man said.

"Yes, let me talk with them," Chiba said.

Yuuki was looking at the woman and asked, "You're not asking your boss?"

The woman was startled, "N - no, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

"Strange? Don't you be in a hurry earlier?" Yuuki asked.

"Don't worry, I have received a text from my boss saying that I can stay for a while," the woman said.

"Hmm," Yuuki only shrugged his shoulders.

"Yuuki, do you know who the Hummer Man is?" Ran asked.

"Probably the first man since he was very tall," Sonoko said.

"It might not be a male, it can be a female too, the Hummer Man is only an exaggeration of the media, there isn't any evidence that he is a man," Yuuki said.

"Is it a woman?" Honda had a doubtful expression on her face.

"I'm not sure yet, though I want to see the apartment first before I say something," Yuuki said.

*Ring!!!

Chiba opened his phone and looked at who was calling him, "Hello, Sato-san?"

"Chiba-kun, are the three people there earlier?"

"Yes, they're here with me," Chiba said.

"Call them to come here, there is a murderer here."

"MURDERER!!!"

At that moment everyone showed a different expression.
