"Dead, dead?!"
When they arrived at the apartment building, the four people from the Mori Detective Agency found no one in Kenzo Hirota's house, so they turned to the old lady who was the landlord. They never expected to get such an answer.
"Is it true, landlady!"
"Well, I found him hanging in the room at night...it caused a lot of commotion!"
"How could..." Mao Lilan couldn't accept this ending.
Speaking of this, the landlady complained, "It's really nerve-wracking... If someone dies in the room, the market price of this apartment will plummet..."
"It doesn't matter. There is a high-end apartment in Aido Town next door where two people died in a row." Shiraijiu, who always respects the elderly and loves the young, comforted the old lady expressionlessly, "Its market will fall even worse. I wonder if you feel much better?"
The old lady choked, "Oh... maybe...?"
The expression on Mouri Kogoro's side was ugly. He thought of Hirota Masami, "How is that person's daughter?"
"Daughter??" The landlady was confused, as if she had never heard of this.
"I came to find Miss Hirota Masami in Tokyo to find him!" Mouri Kogoro was anxious.
That's right, Ms. Masami Hirota is about the same age as Ran Maori. Kogoro Mouri doesn't dare to think about what will happen to Xiaolan when this happens, so he will naturally care more about Masami Hirota.
"Ah, it turns out that person ran away from home!" The landlady suddenly realized.
"Huh?"
"It's like this. That person was very strange before. He paid a year's rent in one go and moved in without asking any questions."
"A vintage?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned.
Paying a year's rent at one time doesn't mean that Hirota Kenzo originally wanted to live here permanently. This is not in line with Hirota Kenzo's mentality of running away from home - it is easy to be found if you stay in one place for too long.
But that's not all the weirdness.
"The rent is all in new currency," said the landlady. "I did think he might have something to hide, but I didn't expect that he ran away from home."
The landlady thought about the conclusion given by the police again, "Wait a minute, you said his daughter is here too? Then she was probably killed too..."
"Wh-what do you mean? Didn't Mr. Hirota commit suicide?" Mouri Kogoro had the same bad premonition as Maori Lan.
"No, I heard from the police officer that Mr. Hirota was killed..."
"What?!"
Mouri Kogoro and the other three were shocked, but Shiraijiu discovered the blind spot.
"Then landlady," Bai Jingjiu looked at the little old lady, his voice was light and deep, "A murderer killed someone in your house, aren't you afraid?"
"This murderer might still be wandering around now."
"After all, the police haven't caught him yet, right?"
Landlady: "..."
Landlady: "Goodbye!"
With goosebumps all over her body, the landlady turned around and ran back to her house at the speed of light, closing the door with a bang.
Maori Kogoro:……
Mao Lilan:......
Conan: ...
Bai Jingjiu looked back at the three people and said innocently: "What's wrong? I just want to remind the landlady to be careful."
"Go to the police station." Mouri Kogoro took a deep breath. Stimulated by the two lives, he was in no mood to care about anything else.
The group of people rushed to the police station again and found their old friend, Officer Megure.
In the police station, a group of people got it - Kenzo Hirota did kill him. The murderer was a tall man, probably for money. They also got the glasses belonging to Masami Hirota that were left behind at the scene. They analyzed this The girl is probably in danger.
Well, Shiraiku has reservations about this - rather than saying that Masami Hirota is the victim, it is better to say that Masami Hirota is probably the accomplice of the murderer...? After all, the police judged it through the fingerprints on Kenzo Hirota's neck, so there should be no mistake.
The police station was not far from the Maori Detective Agency, so this time the four of them chose to walk all the way back. On the way, the more Maori Lan thought about it, the more sad she felt. As a daughter, Maori Kogoro was naturally busy comforting Xiaolan. As for Conan, he was deep in thought all the way.
To be honest, although I have discovered something strange about Hirota Masami before, it does not affect Conan's affection for Hirota Masami. He is thinking about it in his heart despite the clues he has grasped...
At this time, Conan felt his back being poked, and when he looked back, it was Shirai Ku.
"Hey, Detective, do you want to find Masami Hirota?"
"?!" Conan suddenly became excited, "Do you know how to find her!"
Baijiu raised an eyebrow at Shirai Jiuxin, haven't you realized your feelings yet? So……
"I know. But do you want to know?"
"Of course!"
"Then... in exchange," Shiraijiu stared at Conan, "within a week, I will hand over all my homework and duties to you. Is it a deal?"
"..." Conan was speechless for a moment, once again feeling this guy's indifference. "Are you kidding? This is related to Hirota Masami's life, and you actually use it to make a deal with me?"
Isn't that too cold-blooded?
"Forget it, just figure it out yourself." Shirai Jiu canceled the deal and continued to follow Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan. Anyway, even if she didn't remind Conan about this kind of thing, Conan would think of it on his own before long.
"Wait a minute..." Kudo Shinichi's mind raced, thinking that although Shirai Jiu was cold, he shouldn't be a cold-blooded person, and the exchange content was just a week's homework and duties for primary school students. The reason why she did this was probably because she wanted to Liven up the atmosphere...right?
"Okay, it's a deal, it's a deal, can you tell me now?"
"No need, you can figure it out on your own." Shirai Jiu didn't even look back.
It's over, she must be angry.
"Hey, hey, Shirai, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that to you... so just tell me?" Conan followed Shiraijiu with his half-moon eyes.
This apology is truly insincere.
Shiraiji glanced at Conan, "Don't you regret it?"
"of course not."
"Then do you still remember that the glasses you are wearing now are the tracking glasses the doctor gave you?"
"?!!"
Damn it! It really is! When Hirota Masami was still in the office, he accidentally stuck the transmitter on... Hirota Masami's watch! ! !
"Ah...um!"
Just when Conan was about to scream out of shock, Shirai Jiu quickly covered his mouth.
——What is it called? Do you still want to go alone?
Shiraijiu looked at Conan and conveyed the words with unwavering eyes.
Conan couldn't understand.
But he could understand Shiraijiu's consciousness and blinked to show that he would not scream again.
Only then did Bai Jingjiu let go of his hand and raised his chin to signal Conan to quickly turn on his Ke Xue tracking glasses.
Really, in the end it was not his fault, but he had to help Shirai Jiu with his homework and daily duties for a week.
Conan opened his glasses with half-moon eyes.
On the left lens, the radar map was quickly displayed, with a small red dot on it, and... it was moving! !
Conan and Shiraijiu looked at each other, and then started running at the same time in tacit agreement.
After a while, Shiraijiu silently slowed down and followed Conan.
Well, who said she didn't have a map? Even if Ke Xue's Heelys were fast, so what? In the end, she would have to slow down and follow Conan?
Tsk.
Fortunately, Conan was not running too slowly. He hurriedly hurriedly and slowly turned around, and finally got close to the red dot in his glasses. When he raised his head, he saw that it was Patchingo Game Hall.
Patchingo arcade? Would Masami Hirota be in a place like this? After her dad was killed?
Conan didn't quite believe it and wanted to look again, but his glasses would soon run out of power. Once the glasses run out of power, their only clue is gone!
With no time to think, Conan could only seize the moment and run decisively into the game hall, weaving among the rows of people sitting and playing Patching.
Just as he was running following the last prompt before his glasses were powered off, he bumped into a tall man.
