? Before he knew it, Mud Mountain Xunxun had been searching for that woman for two weeks. He had searched the entire Tokyo, but he still could not find a single trace of the woman.
Through Tushan Xunxun's account of what happened that night, Conan deduced that this place was the place where the culprit who fed him the poison and made him smaller was. However, because this organization was too well-hidden, there was no way to start.
However, the only thing that made Tushan Xunxun feel lucky was that Conan told him that his friend would be fine for the time being. This made the frustrated Tushan Xunxun feel a little better.
However, this world was always like this. All kinds of coincidences would always appear by your side inadvertently. Just as Conan and the others were at a loss, a woman's visit changed the development of the matter.
On this day, just as Mud Mountain Xunxun was at home, the urgent ringing of the doorbell broke the tranquility of the morning light. Since his investigation was fruitless, Mao Li felt that he had let Mud Mountain Seeker down. He rubbed his head, which was hurting from the hangover, and staggered to the door, opening it.
Then, a young girl with two ponytails and round glasses with black frames rushed into Mao Li's line of sight. After a brief moment of shock, Mao Li instantly disappeared from his spot. After spending less than five seconds cleaning up the room and himself, he stood steadily at the door and welcomed the woman in.
The woman was obviously stunned by Mao Li's actions. She stood at the door for a long time before she walked into the door of Mao Li Detective Agency with some restraint and sat upright on the sofa where Mao Li was serving the client.
Conan, who had been woken up by the noise outside the room, rubbed his eyes and walked out. He looked at the girl sitting anxiously on the sofa and instantly became energetic.? Although he had been worried about Mud Mountain Search, Mao Li had been the one doing the real investigation. After all, he was still a primary school student at this time. What could he do? At this moment, looking at the situation, it was obvious that there was a case coming. This made Conan, who was bored in school, interested.
"Uh, miss, what trouble do you have that you want to entrust to me?”Mao Li sat down and placed a glass of water in front of the woman as he asked seriously.
"My name is Masami Hirota. Please, please help me find my father!”The woman didn't even look at the water in front of her and instead shouted anxiously at Mao Li. The sound was so loud that even the water in the cup could not help but ripple.
Mao Li was obviously frightened by the woman's sudden loud voice. He replied intermittently,"Uh, okay."
"It's been a month since my father came to Tokyo to work, but there's still no news. I heard that he even quit his job as a taxi driver.”Masami Hirota saw that Maori had the intention to help her, so she quickly explained everything. There was even a slight sob and trembling in her voice.
"So, you came here.”After Mao Li understood the situation, he also felt a little pity for the girl in front of him who was dressed a little old-fashioned. His voice could not help but become gentle, afraid of bringing pressure to her.
"I applied for leave from school and came here from Yamagata Prefecture to look for him. Now, only Mr. Detective can help me find someone.”Masami's pleading tone made Maori very happy. Especially when he said that only Mr. Detective could help him find someone, it made him even happier.
Mao Li even crossed his arms over his shoulders and pretended to think. He actually gave off a reliable feeling. "I understand. I'm willing to help you!”
After hearing Maori's agreement, Masami Hirota hurriedly handed over a photo and said to Maori, who was calm and collected,""This, this is my father, Hiroda Kenzo. He was 170 centimeters tall and 48 years old.”
Mao Li picked up the photo and saw a slightly plump middle-aged man holding a black cat and smiling at the camera.
"Hmm, what about this cat?" Mao Li looked at the cat in the photo and asked curiously. Conan, who was looking at the photos together, almost fell down. How could there be a photo of a missing person following a cat!
"It's my dad's cat. Its name is Fast. There were also three cats, Yang, Di, Hao, and Wang.”The woman did not find Mao Li's question strange and answered honestly.
Conan looked at the two of them and shrugged helplessly."If you're looking for someone, you probably don't need me to appear. I should test the tracking sticker that the doctor just invented on Xiaolan.”
Conan took off the tracking sticker from his clothes and tiptoed to Xiaolan's side when she was not paying attention to serving the guests water.? Tushan Xunxun, who had just left the room, happened to catch him. He lost his balance and fell beside the girl who had come to ask for help. The sticker in Conan's hand accidentally stuck to the girl's watch.
"What are you doing?”Mao Li looked at Conan, who had fallen beside his client, and shouted unhappily. If he accidentally offended his client and caused him to go somewhere else, Mao Li would probably want to kill Conan.
However, Maori was obviously worried too much. Masami Hirota did not care about Conan's actions. Instead, she cried in pain and cried to Maori, who was panicking,"When I was young, my mother passed away. My father was the only person I could rely on. If anything happens to Dad, I…"
As she spoke, Masami Hirota covered her eyes and started crying. Everyone present could not help but look at her sympathetically, not knowing what to say.
? As for Mud Mountain Seeker, who had just walked out of the room, he saw the girl crying while covering her face. A faint sense of familiarity rose in his heart. It wasn't very strong, but it was clear. After hesitating for a while, Tushan Xunxun put away the fox ears that he had habitually revealed at home. He slowly walked to Masami Hirota's side, looked at her tear-stained face, and asked curiously,""Have we met before?”
"Little Xun, don't make a fuss. Can't you see that this young lady is still sad? Moreover, this young lady lives in Yamagata Prefecture, which is very far from here. It's impossible for you to have seen her.”Mao Li answered Mud Mountain Xunxun's question before the woman could. He was afraid that when the woman answered, she would touch one of his sensitive nerves. After all, he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
"Little brother, I really haven't seen you before!”Masami Hirota rubbed her eyes, which were blurred by her tears, and looked at Tushan Xun Xun's face carefully. Then, she asked in confusion.
"Strange. Oh, in that case, sorry to disturb you.”? Tushan Xun had seen Masami Hirota. Whether it was her appearance or her feeling, she gave him a faint sense of familiarity, which was why he asked. However, judging from Masami's expression, she didn't seem to have any intention of lying to him. She scratched her head in surprise and returned to her bedroom.
Everyone present, except for Conan, quickly put this matter to the back of their minds. He began to visit the company and the house where Masami's father used to work, hoping to find some clues to find the missing Hiroda Kenzo.
While Xiao Lan and the others were walking through the streets, Conan walked into Mud Mountain Seeker's room. He said to Tushan Xunxun, who was fiddling with something on the bed,""What's the familiarity you mentioned earlier? I observed this woman and found something unusual. When this woman talked about her father, she described the information as if she was memorizing it. Although she cried when she was describing it, it gave me a strange feeling.”
"I don't know either. I only know that this Masami Hirota gives me a faint sense of familiarity, so I can't be sure. I'm trying to find out where this sense of familiarity comes from.”? Tushan Xunxun waved his hand impatiently. He was not happy with the way Conan was showing off.
"Who's bragging to you? What I'm trying to say is that since this woman gives you a familiar feeling, then can you think carefully about whether you've seen this person before or seen someone who's related to her before?”? Conan rolled his eyes. He had never thought of such a thing. It was clearly Mud Mountain Seeker's own imagination.
However, Conan's words did give Mud Mountain Xunxun a lot of inspiration. Among the few people he had met in this world, the only one who was similar to Masami Hirota was his friend who gave him a different feeling. She was called Miyano Shiho, not Sherry.
"I know. This Masami Hirota is very similar to my friend. She's the friend I wanted to save.”? Thinking of this, Tushan Xunxun quickly grabbed Conan's hand and said excitedly. Two weeks, two whole weeks, this mysterious organization had finally leaked some news.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and go find Masami Hirota. The tracking sticker that the professor gave me previously was stuck on her body by accident.”Hearing Tushan Xun Xun's words, Conan was excited. He grabbed Tushan Xun Xun's hand and rushed out.
It had to be said that Maori was quite skilled. When Tushan Xunxun and Conan found Masami Hirota, Maori and the others had already found the missing Kenzo Hirota. When the two of them got close, Mao Li and the others took their leave.
In order to prevent Mao Li and the others from bringing them back, the two of them waited for a while before walking out of their hiding place. Just as the two of them came out, Conan saw a scene that stunned him. Masami Hirota, who looked soft and weak, had one hand on the collar of Kenzo Hirota, while the other hand was holding a pistol and pointing it at Kenzo Hirota's forehead.
