Around nine o'clock on Sunday morning
Conan was sitting on the sofa reading his detective novel while Morihi Hitomi was playing a game console." Hey."。Conan!" Maori Hitomi moved to Conan's side.
"What is it?"
"Lend me that stalker thing you used yesterday.”
"Erm... That…" Conan looked at Maori Hitomi awkwardly.
"Don't worry, I won't mind what happened yesterday.”
"Really?"
"Of course." Mao Litong said with a smile. So Conan took out the signal transmitter and pointed at his glasses. This was the tracker.
Just as she said this, the doorbell of the detective agency rang. A girl came in." That.。Are you Mr. Maori Kogoro? My name is Yami."
Then, Yami suddenly said to Maori Kogoro excitedly," Please, please help me find my father."”
Maori Kogoro had no choice but to agree to Yami's request. Yami, who was sitting on the sofa, sobbed and said," I haven't heard from my father, who came to work in Tokyo, for more than a month. I heard that he even quit his taxi job, so I came to you. I've already applied for leave from school and came to this place from Yamagata Prefecture to look for him, but I couldn't find him, so I can only ask you, detective."”
Looking at the excited Yami, Maori Kogoro nodded." Alright, I'll take this case."”After hearing Maori Kogoro's agreement, Yami took out a photo from her bag." This is my father, Tian Kenzo.。。。。。。。。。”
At this moment, Xiao Lan came out from the kitchen with a pot of coffee." Miss Yami, don't worry. Have a cup of coffee first."”
Maori Hitomi, who was sitting at the side, looked at Xiaolan with an evil smile. Conan, do you want to know what Sister Xiaolan secretly does every day? As he spoke, he was about to stick the signal transmitter to Xiao Lan's butt.
Hey ~ Conan grabbed Mori-chan in excitement. She lost her balance and charged straight at Yami. The signal generator was attached to her watch like history repeated itself.。。
Of course, Maori Hitomi did not have much of an impression of this episode, so under Xiaolan's scolding, she could only smile awkwardly. Then, she glared at Conan fiercely, walked to Conan's side, and said to him," Don't you want to know where Sister Xiaolan always goes secretly? Perhaps she went to see her new boyfriend.。”
"Nonsense…" Conan was furious." Sister Xiaolan is not that kind of person.”
Maori Hitomi rolled her eyes at Conan." Why are you in such a hurry? The one who should be worried is that Shinichi who's dead somewhere." That bastard didn't contact Sister Xiaolan for so long. I think he must have been kidnapped by some vixen.。”
"Hey, hey, hey…Please…" Conan muttered in his heart, Can't you think of something sunny in your heart?。”
Maori Kogoro took the photo from Yami and asked," Is this cat also raised by your father?”
"Yes, my father raised them. Their names are Huai. My father has a total of four cats. The other three are called Wang, Di, and Hao.”
After asking about the situation, Maori Kogoro said to Yami," That.。Ms. Yami, I understand. You can go back first. I'll inform you if there's any news.”
Yami thanked him profusely and left the detective agency. Meanwhile, Conan stared at Maori Hitomi unhappily." Hey, kid."。Where's my signal tracker…”
"Well... Hehe…Let's go, I'll treat you to Haagen-Dazs.。。。。。”
After that, Maori Kogoro went out to check.。。After a few days of visits, Maori Kogoro basically did not get any useful information.
"Dad, did you find anything?”Lan asked. "Mhm…" Maori Kogoro, who was pinching his chin, thought for a moment." Her father is a very difficult person to get along with. It is said that he hardly has any contact with his colleagues in the company.”
"I'm so angry..." Maori Kogoro scratched his head and complained," It's been a week.。。。”
The bored Maori Hitomi was watching the horse racing program." This is the 15-win streak of the King of Scholartree.。”"Uncle, do you still remember that his cat's name is Huai or Wang?。。”
When Mori-Hitomi said this, Conan also noticed it, so he wrote on the paper," As expected, those words are referring to this horse race." But then Conan said," It can't be such a coincidence."。。。”
However, Lan was excited." That's right. It must be because Mr. Hirota likes horse racing very much that he gave his cats those names. If she went to the horse racing track, she would definitely be able to find him.”
In the end, Maori Kogoro nodded and went to the racecourt as if he was trying his luck.
Of course, Conan didn't believe in this kind of lucky thing, but Xiaolan was very curious." This is my first time here. There are so many people here. Miss Yami's father must be here. We have to find him quickly."。”
Conan and Maori Kogoro looked at Xiaolan helplessly.。" Hmph!" Xiao Lan snorted at them." Xiao Tong, do you think Sister is right?"”
Mao Litong looked up at Xiaolan." If Sister says it's right, then it's also right. If Sister says it's wrong, then it's also wrong.。”Then, he continued to look down at the horses running in the field.。。。。
In the end, Maori Kogoro and Conan secretly gave him a thumbs up.。"Amazing…Brilliant…"
" Humph!" Xiao Lan snorted and ignored the crowd." Yay! Found it!"”As he spoke, he pointed at Tian Jiansan, who was watching the horse race in the distance. Looking at Conan and Maori Kogoro's shocked faces, Xiaolan covered her mouth and laughed." Hehe, I'm a famous detective too!!!”
Then, Xiao Lan said," Then I'll call him over.”
However, Maori Kogoro stopped him." Wait a minute. I think this person is deliberately going missing. If we alert the enemy and let him escape, it will be troublesome. Let's follow him and find where he lives now. Then, we will inform Miss Yami."。。。。。。。。。。。”
In the end, everyone found Tian Kenzo's place and informed Yami. Mori-Hitomi looked at Yami with some doubt and said to the touched Lan," This Sister Yami is so flirtatious today."。。I don't like... Sister Xiaolan is still the prettiest…。。。”
Xiao Lan, who heard this flattery, naturally rubbed Mao Litong's hair happily." Little Tong, you really know how to talk. When we go back, I'll treat you to Haagen-Dazs."。。”
Conan looked straight at Maori Hitomi, but Maori Hitomi turned around and grinned at Conan.。。
"You damn brat…I have to hold back... Endure it…" Conan lowered his raised fist.。
"Hahaha... As long as I, Maori Kogoro, am in charge, this kind of case is just a small matter.。”Maori Kogoro, who was walking back, began to brag again.。
"Eh?" Maori Kogoro saw a man in a gray trench coat and sunglasses looking at him mysteriously not far away. "Who is that guy? Xiaolan, Conan, and the others also turned to look at that man.”However, when the man saw that he had been discovered, he straightened his collar and left.
The next day, Mori-Kogoro's friends at the police station thought that he had not found Tian Kenzo, so they called Mori-Kogoro and told him that the guy had been found, but he had been killed.
Maori Kogoro hurriedly brought Xiaolan and the others to the place where they lived yesterday. According to his understanding with the landlord, Tian Kenzo hung himself to death. The police said that it was a homicide. As for his daughter, the landlord said that she was probably dead after being taken away.
Hence, Maori Kogoro brought everyone to the police station and happened to bump into Officer Megure. He asked about the details, and Megure said," Yes, after our investigation, the murderer strangled Hirota to death and hung him from the ceiling. From the hand marks on the victim's neck, the murderer was a burly man.”
Maori Kogoro continued to ask," What about his daughter?”
Mu Mu shook his head." We only found her glasses at the scene, but there was no corpse. I'm afraid she's probably dead."”
Xiao Lan burst into tears when she heard the news.。。Maori Kogoro hurriedly tried to persuade him." Maybe he won't die so soon."”Conan wanted to help Xiaolan, but he couldn't find any clues.
"Hey... Conan…" Maori Hitomi whispered to Conan," Do you still remember your tracker?”
Conan said excitedly," Yeah, you accidentally stuck the tracker on her watch.”Hence, he hurriedly opened the map and said to Maori Hitomi," Quick, Little Hitomi, let's go!!”
Maori Hitomi followed Conan and ran towards the signal. Behind him, Maori Kogoro shouted," You two brats, where are you going?"。。。”In the end, he was ignored gorgeously...。。。。
As Conan ran, he said to Maori Hitomi beside him," It's all thanks to your unintentional post. The person on the map is still moving, so Ms. Yami might still be alive."”
"That's great. Maybe Sister Xiaolan won't be so sad anymore.。。。。。”
Panting, Conan stood at the entrance of a game hall called Pachinko Game Shop. Was she here?
He looked at Morihito, who was standing beside him with a calm face." Ms. Yami.。Maybe it's in here..." After saying that, he rushed in. Conan, who was running in front, bumped into a man in a dark green suit.
The guy looked down at Conan, who had fallen to the ground." Kid, don't you have eyes when you walk?”As he spoke, he grabbed Conan.
"Let go ~" Maori Hitomi stared at the man.
"Hmm?" When the guy saw that there was a child, he wanted to catch him as well. However, when he saw Mao Litong's gaze, he felt a chill rise from under his feet.
"I told you to let go. Did you hear that…" Subconsciously, the man felt that he was about to let go, so he gently placed Conan on the ground.。。He turned around and left while muttering that this was not a place for you little brats.。Words like that.
"That gaze…" Although he wasn't looking directly at Conan, he could feel it.。"It was the look of someone who had just returned from hell.。。”He stared blankly at Mao Litong.
"What are you daydreaming about? Let's go and continue searching.。。”Oh... Conan, who had come to his senses, realized... "Aiya... The battery is dead…"
"Sigh ~~" Maori Hitomi sighed and said,"Then let's go back. Uncle is probably going to give us another scolding."。。。”
Conan was also drenched in cold sweat. He was also thinking about how to deal with Maori Kogoro when he got back. As expected, after returning to the detective agency, Maori Kogoro pulled a long face and asked," You two little brats.。You're back so late. Where did you go?"
"Haha…" Conan said with a flattering expression. "Little Tong…Little Tong insisted on dragging me to play video games.。。”
" Ah???" Beside him, Mao Litong, who was in a daze, looked at Conan in surprise.。。"You brat…" Then, she threw herself onto the mountain." You were the one who dragged me there.。。。。。”
Maori Kogoro looked at the two problematic children helplessly." Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Next time you go out, you have to tell me first!”
"Got it, Uncle." Maori Hitomi and Conan immediately got up from the ground and said. "Eh?" Conan looked at Xiaolan, who was leaning against the window." Uncle, what's wrong with Sister Xiaolan?”
Maori Kogoro sighed." She's been like that since she came back. It seems like she's really worried about Miss Yami."”
Xiao Lan, who was leaning against the window, pointed outside." Dad, there's a strange person downstairs. He keeps staring at us.”
"What?" Maori Kogoro also came over." Eh? Isn't that the man who was wandering around Mr. Tian Jiansan's apartment that day? And the criminal was a tall man.。。。”
Lan said angrily," Could it be that he killed Miss Yami?”
"That's possible. Xiaolan, look after him. I'll go down and catch him.”Maori Kogoro turned around and was about to rush downstairs.
" No need, Dad!!" Xiao Lan jumped down from the second floor. She stared at the man at the other end of the road." What did you do to Miss Yami?”
The man looked at the fierce Xiao Lan and ran straight to his car in fear. However, Xiao Lan kicked the glass and pulled him out of the car.
At this moment, Conan and the others also rushed over. Xiaolan dragged the guy and said to Maori Kogoro," Dad, I caught him.”
Maori Kogoro took the man from Xiaolan's hands and grabbed his collar." You're really brave. As a murderer, you actually dare to come to me."”
The man hurriedly explained. "Um... I... I... I'm not the murderer... I'm a private detective like you.”
"Private detective?" Maori Kogoro looked at the man suspiciously.。" It's like this. Someone asked me to help find Mr. Tian Jiansan. Then, he took out a photo from his clothes." Look, it's this man.”
"Hmm?" Maori Hitomi and Conan were both surprised.。This man is…"
Just as she was about to tell Maori Kogoro that she had seen this man before, Conan quickly pulled her back and whispered into his ear," If you tell Uncle now, we won't be able to explain the tracking device."。”
"Oh ~~"
"When the time comes, we can just make up an excuse and say that we saw him after school.。”
"Cunning ~" Maori Hitomi nodded.
"Tsk, this is called wisdom ~~"
Then, Maori Kogoro brought the man back to his office." I told you, I'm really a detective.”
"Then why did you run away?" Maori Kogoro rolled his eyes and asked.
"Well... You. Your daughter is too... Too valiant…I'm scared."
Maori Kogoro awkwardly recalled what had just happened." Indeed, if a fierce woman like Xiaolan were to chase after me, I'm afraid I would have to run too.。。”
Maori Kogoro cleared his throat." So you're the same as me, and you've received a commission to help find Mr. Tian Kenzo?"”
"Yes, it's just that. I feel that the family who entrusted me with this task is a little strange.”The detective pointed at the photo on the table." He told me to help him find his only brother who left Kyushu to work in Tokyo.”
"My only brother?" Maori Kogoro asked in surprise," Mr. Tian Kenzo doesn't have any other relatives other than Ms. Yami."”
" Also, Dad, Ms. Yami said that her father came to Tokyo from Yamagata," Xiaolan, who was standing behind Maori Kogoro, interrupted.
"Mhm... It was indeed strange. There could not be two Mr. Tian Jiansan in this world.”Maori Kogoro said as he looked at the photo on the table.
"There's one more thing that I find strange. I learned from the taxi company that Mr. Tian Kenzo works at that Mr. Hirota no longer picks up people every evening. Instead, he drives a taxi back and forth on the same route, and the speed is quite fast.”
"There's nothing strange about this. Maybe it's to relax the pressure of work.。”Maori Kogoro picked up the photo on the table and asked," What's this guy's name?”
"Oh, I see. His name was Tian Jianming, and he was a burly man who was more than 1.9 meters tall.”
"What is it? A very tall and burly man?" Maori Kogoro asked loudly.
"Mhm... Yes, it was. I've seen him before, there's no mistaking it,"replied the detective.
Maori Kogoro pinched his chin." Is it the tall man that Megure mentioned?"。。By the way, did you tell this tall man where Mr. Hirota lives?”
"Of course. After all, this is my job. However, Mr. Tian Jiansan was killed after that, right? So I felt that there must be a problem here.”
"That's right. According to the information we have now, this man should have killed Mr. Hirota and taken Ms. Yami away. Also, do you know where this guy's contact address is?”
" I'm sorry." The detective waved his hand apologetically at Maori Kogoro." He was the one who contacted me."”
Conan looked at the photo on the table." It's the person that Hitomi and I met yesterday. Could it be that he really killed Mr. Tian Jienzo and took Ms. Yami away? Well... She should find him first and find the doctor to charge her glasses.”
So Conan ran to Dr. Ah Li's residence, charged his glasses, and found the hotel where Tian Jianming was staying. After she came back, she read Mao Li's novel. Today, after school, she met that man at the entrance of a certain hotel.。。。
Hence, Maori Kogoro brought a group of people to the hotel. Conan thought to himself," The target hasn't moved since the beginning. Could it be that he took the watch and escaped?"”
When they arrived at the bar counter, Maori Kogoro handed the photo to the waiter." Excuse me, have you seen this person before?”
The waiter took a closer look." This gentleman is staying in room 802.”
Everyone came to the elevator door and prepared to go upstairs. When the elevator door opened, a flying girl in red pushed out a few boxes. In the end, the boxes fell to the ground by accident.
"Hmm?" Mao Litong sniffed." Money."。。The smell of ink was very strong. These boxes were filled with money, so this guy was.。”Mao Litong took a closer look." It's her.。That Yami…This scene…That's right." Suddenly, Maori Hitomi remembered something." The plot of this episode seems very familiar.”
"This Yami isn't the mastermind. There's another person, and that person is the real mastermind. Thus, Maori Hitomi, who was planning to cast a long line to catch a big fish, decided not to reveal this woman's identity for the time being.”In the end, Yami pushed the cart away, and Mao Li and the others arrived at Room 802. When they opened the door, they found that Tian Jianming was already dead.
Maori Kogoro walked forward and picked up the beer can in the deceased's hand. He sniffed it." It's the smell of cyanic acid."。This man died of this cyanic acid poisoning.。。。”
Conan saw that the deceased had Masami Hirota's watch on her wrist, and then looked at the empty aluminum alloy box next to her. After connecting the series of events in his mind, he asked," Could it be...?"。。”
Maori Kogoro, who was calling the police, also knew that Mr. Tian Kenzo was single and born and raised in Tokyo. He did not have a daughter or brother.
So the last piece of the puzzle was put together. Conan guessed that they should be the three robbers who robbed one billion yuan. And the mastermind behind this was Yami.
"Wait!" Conan recalled the woman who was pushing a bunch of boxes at the elevator door." It can't be wrong. Although she was dressed differently, those boxes and that figure are definitely Yami.”
"Let's go, Little Tong!" He pulled Mori-Hitomi and ran out. For some reason, he dragged Mori-Hitomi along to chase after that woman.
Xiaolan followed closely behind." Conan, Tong, where are you going?”
Conan turned around and shouted," I've found Ms. Yami!!”
When Conan arrived downstairs, he happened to see Masami leaving in a taxi, so he dragged Xiaolan and Morihito and called a taxi to catch up with Masami's car.
After following her to the port, Conan realized that he couldn't find her after getting off the car." Damn it, she really got off at this port. She must be nearby!"!”
So, they began to search. Mori-Hitomi, of course, had to follow this ignorant guy. That person had a gun in his hand. Finally, Conan and Hitomi discovered that Yami and Okita were talking. They found out that the mastermind was Okita, and Okita was holding a gun to kill Yami. Conan was about to rush out in a heat of the moment, but he was pulled back by Mori-Hitomi.
"Hey, that man has a gun. Do you want to die?”
" But, Miss Yami, she…"
"Don't worry, leave this to me!”Before Conan could react, Mori-Hitomi had already dashed out. Okita, who was pointing his gun at Masami Hirota, suddenly felt a sense of danger behind him and was about to turn around.
However, it was too late. Maori Hitomi jumped up and her knee landed on Okita's seventh spine, the Dragon Bone Acupuncture Point. The impact was so great that Okita fainted on the spot. He was lucky that he didn't die, but it was impossible for him to get up again.
Conan, whose face was full of surprise, followed closely behind. When Yami saw the two little fellows, she asked in surprise," How did you know I was here?”
Conan scratched his head." Tong accidentally attached the signal transmitter to your watch.。Later, when we tracked him to the restaurant, we happened to meet you, so we followed him.”
"Who are you people?"
Conan said confidently," I'm Conan Edogawa, a small detective.。He's my fighter, Mao Litong."
"Hey, you bastard, who's your fighter?。。”Mao Litong waved his fist and shouted.
"I didn't know that this thing was stuck to my watch.。”
Conan pointed at the man. He should be the mastermind of the robbery.
"That's right. Okita planned everything and then gathered the candidates. It's said that he would kill the others after every plan was completed.。。”
Hearing the police sirens in the distance, she said," The police are coming. Aren't you going to run away?”Conan asked.
Yami shook her head." I'm tired of this kind of life.。。There was also a suitcase worth one billion yuan in the hotel.。。”
"Conan…" Maori Hitomi pulled Conan's hand." Let's retreat first."。”
"What's wrong?"
Maori Hitomi leaned into Conan's ear and said," I used too much strength just now. That guy might have died."”
"What?" Conan shouted in shock.
"Why are you shouting? I'm just saying that it's possible.。。I'll go check it out..." He came up to Okita and threw his gun to Conan." Keep the gun first. Let me see how this guy is doing."”
"Phew ~ Don't worry, he won't die.。”
Conan wiped the sweat off his forehead." At most, I'll never be able to stand up again."。”
"Plop ~" Conan fell to the ground.。。。。
In the end, the police came and took away Masami Hirota and the unconscious Okita.。。。。
