"Teacher Shimizu, are you free now?" Mao Lilan said in a panic on the phone, "It's Miss Masami Hirota who came from Yamagata and asked my father to find him last time. She disappeared. And she My father also encountered an accident!"
Yu Jiang raised his hand to signal William Drake not to rush home, while comforting Mao Lilan: "Miss Mao Li, don't panic. Where are you now?"
"I-I'm downstairs in Miss Masami Hirota's father's apartment. The address is..." Mao Lilan said the address. "My father and I were planning to ask the landlady."
Yu Jiang estimated the distance and said to her, "Don't worry, we'll see you in five minutes."
When William recited the address in Yujiang, he had already changed his driving route with a wink.
On Mao Lilan's side, Conan's face didn't look good since she made the phone call.
"Sister Xiaolan, why did you call Teacher Qingshui here?" Conan asked.
"Huh? Didn't Teacher Shimizu say that he would join us in this case last time? I think he might be able to provide some help with Miss Hirota's disappearance."
"His help is not needed." Mouri Kogoro said sternly, "This is the work of a detective!"
"Oh? So you are a detective." The landlady said regretfully, "That man is so strange. He paid the rent for a year in one lump sum and didn't ask anything before moving in. Since you said he has a daughter, Maybe he ran away from home. But I think his daughter has probably been killed as well."
"What? You mean Mr. Hirota didn't commit suicide?"
"Of course not. I heard from the police officer that Mr. Hirota was killed!"
"What?!"
"Bang bang bang——"
There was a knock on the landlord's door.
The landlady walked over and opened the door while muttering: "Who is it again?"
Ikujiang stood outside the door, gently nodded to Mouri Kogoro and the others, and said: "I won't go in and bother you. Let's go to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask about this matter."
"You're right, Officer Megure and the others must know more about the inside story."
Conan turned to Yu Jiang and asked, "How does Mr. Shimizu know that Uncle Maori knows the police from the Metropolitan Police Department?"
"Huh?" Yu Jiang looked surprised, "For a great detective like Mr. Maori who often participates in criminal cases, isn't it natural for him to know the police officer?"
Mouri Kogoro heard Conan's doubts about Shimizu Yuzuru, hit Conan's head with his fist, and warned him: "Kid, don't talk to Shimizu-sensei in that tone! Apologize!"
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts!" Conan quickly hid behind Mao Lilan and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry, Teacher Qingshui."
Yu Jiang generously forgave him: "You're a kid, I understand."
Conan: "..."
Fuck you little kids! You are the child! Your whole family is just kids! !
Metropolitan Police Department——
Officer Megure warmly received Maori and his party.
Yujiang stood near the door and deliberately lowered his head so that Officer Memu and the others could not see his face clearly.
This behavior of avoiding the police has almost been engraved in Yu Jiang's DNA. He does not want to leave a deep impression on the police and easily reveal his identity.
Officer Megure was recounting the details of the case to Kogoro Mori: "It was indeed a homicide. After the murderer strangled the deceased, he hung him from the ceiling. There were questions from a third party on the rope and the ceiling, so it must have been Kill him."
"How could such a bastard thing happen?!" Mouri Kogoro angrily condemned the murderer because of Hirota Masami, "Why would the murderer do such a vicious thing!"
"Probably for money. All the valuables were taken away from the deceased's room, except for the cat."
Without Officer Megure telling the characteristics of the murderer, Ikue had already ruled out the possibility of Miyano Akemi.
People who came from the organization, even peripheral members, would not make such a low-level mistake as leaving fingerprints at the crime scene.
The murderer of that man could only be the third person who robbed the bank together with Miyano Akemi.
Then there is a high probability that the money will also be taken away by a third party.
As long as we find the third person, we can find Miyano Akemi.
Of course, Yue will not tell this to Mouri Kogoro and the police.
Sure enough, the police quickly concluded that the murderer was a tall man.
"It's just that we didn't find the Miss Hirota Masami you mentioned. We found this at the crime scene." Officer Megure handed a pair of glasses to Mouri Kogoro.
The glasses were not packed in a plastic bag as required, but were handed over to Kogoro Mori from hand to hand.
Although the police should have checked the fingerprints and other information on the glasses, destroying the evidence like this before the case was solved still made Yujiang refresh his understanding of the Japanese police.
Tsk, looking at it this way, Scotland and Bourbon should be considered very dedicated police officers, right?
"So, Miss Masami..." Mouri Kogoro was a little afraid to continue.
Officer Memu looked sad: "Although we didn't find the body, but... maybe we have..."
"already……"
On the way back to the Maori Detective Agency from the Metropolitan Police Department, Mao Lilan was always in a very low mood, with tears in his eyes and sobbing even as he spoke.
Mouri Kogoro tried to comfort him for a long time but to no avail, so he had no choice but to turn to Yu Jiang for help.
Yujiang stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "As long as the body is not found for a day, I am willing to believe that Miss Hirota is still alive. However, it would be great if there was a way to know the whereabouts of Miss Hirota."
How to know the whereabouts of Hirota Masami?
A ray of silver light passed through Conan's head!
found it! !
The tracker he accidentally installed on Masami Hirota's watch probably hasn't been removed yet!
"Ah, ah, I suddenly remembered something!" Conan lied awkwardly, scratching the back of his head, "I have to do it quickly. Goodbye, Sister Xiaolan, uncle, Teacher Qingshui!"
"Hey! Where are you going, kid?!"
"Conan——"
Conan ran away for fear of being caught up.
It's a pity that he can't let others know about the tracker, so he can only trace the whereabouts of Hirota Masami alone.
In addition, there was another thing that concerned him about Hirota Masami.
When their father and daughter reunited, he could clearly see that the father's face was not filled with joy at the reunion, but with... fear.
What is he afraid of?
Yujiang followed Maori and his daughter back to the office.
Although Mao Lilan was upset because of Masami Hirota, she thoughtfully prepared tea for Yujiang.
She was very grateful that Yu Jiang came to help her when she was in a panic, even though he couldn't actually help.
An hour later, Conan came back dejectedly.
Um? Couldn't we find Miyano Akemi even with the tracker?
Has that woman learned to be smart?
