Lu Ren was walking on the way home, and he got tired of watching the scene of the three little ones being beaten after a while.
If you have this time, you might as well go home and write a manuscript. His time is actually very tight.
Kitajima Shino, the tool man, is useful, but after all, it cannot fully represent him.
According to the agreement, he must write at least two to three articles for the newspaper every month. The newspaper didn't support him in vain.
The recent excuse to adjust my status can be delayed for a month or two. But no matter how long it takes, the newspaper office will definitely not be able to justify it.
If Lu Ren wants to continue working, he must return to his original writing level within two months at most.
A bit difficult, but worth a try.
Buzz buzz.
Lu Ren took out his phone and said, "Hello."
"I'm home now."
"Well, then hurry up and write. I'll be home soon. Time is tight this time. Once you've finished writing, you can fax it directly to the newspaper. Let them publish it in tomorrow morning's newspaper."
"Um."
…
Three hours later, when Lu Ren returned home, he put down his pen and began to proofread the newly written manuscript.
After repeating it three times to ensure that there were no typos or other errors, Lu Ren put down the manuscript and looked up out of the window.
By this time it was completely dark.
It's done on his side, and it should be done on Gin's side too.
Just call and confirm.
Lu Ren took out his cell phone, opened the address book, found Kudo Shinichi's name, and dialed it.
For a while, no one answered.
Either he was still unconscious, or he was too late to pick up.
If I remember correctly, Kudo also had a fast and furious game with the security guards at the amusement park.
A large group of security guards and several dogs failed to catch up with Kudo.
Oh, now it's time to call him Conan.
Okay, let’s do the whole show, now give Mao Lilan a call.
Lu Ren clicked on the address book, found Mao Lilan's name and dialed it.
Toot toot.
"Hello."
"I'm Lu Ren. Are you home yet?"
"I'm already home. Sorry, I forgot to call you."
"It doesn't matter, just get there. By the way, has Kudo arrived home? I called him but no one answered. I thought he was taking a shower or something."
"Shinichi..., I don't know. He didn't come back with me."
"Huh? Then where did he go?"
"I don't know. He asked me to go back first, and then ran away alone. My shoelaces were loose at the time, so I didn't catch up. I'm so scared now."
There was a faint sound of crying on the other side of the phone. He came into close contact with a dead person and had his face spattered with blood, and now his boyfriend can't be contacted.
This seventeen-year-old girl was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Lu Ren's call became the last straw for her.
Hey, it sounds a little nice to cry.
No, that's not what I'm thinking about now.
"Don't worry, do you know Kudo's phone number?"
"I know... I know."
"Since you are at home now, use your home landline to call the Kudo family's landline. Don't hang up your cell phone either. If you have any news, tell me immediately."
"um. Thank you."
"Little things."
After a while, the voice on the other end of the phone seemed even more broken, "No one answered. No one answered all the time. What should I do?"
"Wait at home, I'll be there immediately."
Lu Ren hung up the phone and went out to hail a taxi.
"Go to the Mori Detective Agency."
"Sir, where is that?"
Gan.
Lu Ren knew that Maoli was in a miserable state now, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable.
The driver didn't even know where Maori's office was. How shameless it was.
"Wait a minute." Lu Ren took out the business card that Mori had handed him earlier, "No. 39, 5-chome, Mihua Town."
"Cafe Poirot, that's what I know, sir. That coffee is pretty good, you can try it."
"I'll definitely do it if I have the chance. A little faster, more urgent."
"OK."
Ten minutes later, Lu Ren stood downstairs in the office. He called Mao Lilan and said, "I'm downstairs. You go downstairs. And get an umbrella. It's raining outside. I forgot to take it when I came out."
"Um."
With a kick, Mao Lilan rushed downstairs in three or two steps. After standing at the door of the building, she handed the umbrella to Lu Ren and bowed deeply, "Please help me."
poor child.
"Kudo is my friend, and so are you. If you do this, you are too outsider. Get up." Lu Ren opened his umbrella and stood beside Mao Lilan.
"sorry."
"It's okay. Now take me to Kudo's house to see what's going on. If it doesn't work, just report it to the police."
"Um."
The Kudo family is in 2-chome 21, which is still some distance away from them.
Mao Lilan held an umbrella and walked in front to lead the way. She walked very quickly, ignoring the mud on the road. After a while, her trousers on both sides were covered with mud spots.
In order to keep up with her pace, Lu Ren's trousers were covered with mud spots.
I have to do laundry when I get back later.
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Kudo didn't answer the phone, which means he might be taking a shower at home. You also saw it, it was raining very hard, and he might have fallen while walking on the road, and he was covered in dirt. Come."
"It's possible. Thank you, but I'm still worried. When he said goodbye to me at the amusement park, I had an unknown premonition. I felt like I would never see him again."
Your feeling is accurate, but not completely accurate.
You rarely see Kudo, but you see Conan every day.
These two are the same person.
Just a large size and a small size.
But you can't talk to Mao Lilan about this. Let Kudo speak for himself, it has nothing to do with him.
A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at Kudo's residence.
In front of us is a small Western-style bungalow, with lights still on on the second floor of the bungalow.
"Look, there's someone at home. You don't have to worry anymore."
"Yeah." Mao Lilan's tight little face suddenly relaxed.
"Okay, you go in and take a look. I won't go in and will wait for you at the door."
"Huh? It's so cold outside. Come in together."
"No." Lu Ren shook his head, "Kudo must be inconvenient now, otherwise he would have answered the phone long ago. Do you have the key to his door?"
"Yes." Mao Lilan took out a bunch from his pocket.
"So, you can use this key to go in by yourself, but you can't bring me in with you. Kudo is the owner of this house. He gave you the key, but he only gave you the right to enter and exit alone. He didn't say that he would allow you to bring him in with you. Others come into his house.”
"But you are not someone else, you are his friend. Shinichi won't care."
"He won't care, I do. This is my principle. Respect is mutual. Okay, go in quickly. If you find Shinichi, call me."
"okay."
Watching Mao Lilan enter Kudo's house, Lu Ren silently thought about the lottery.
It's raining heavily today, it's impossible to burn the Ming coins, and it's very late now.
It's better to draw first, so you won't waste a lottery draw after twelve o'clock.
The familiar golden disc, the familiar number of draws, one...two?
Lu Ren confirmed again and again that he had indeed read it correctly.
One more draw.
What happened?
