While talking, several people also arrived at Nanchuan's apartment by car.
Walking through the creaking iron escalator.
On the door of Room 202, there is an A4 paper fixed with tape, which reads:
[I should be back before noon. If you have any mail, please give it to the landlord - Nanchuan. 】
"Hey... isn't it already past noon?" Mouri Kogoro looked at the time.
2:28...
"Tch, this guy is still the same as before, a little nervous."
"Maybe when Hattori and Kazuha came, Mr. Kusukawa happened to be at home," Mao Lilan said, "So they went out to drink tea together, and then chatted so happily that they forgot the time of return."
"Probably not," Ye Gengyi said: "In addition to meeting Kusukawa, Heiji also made an appointment with Mr. Mori and me. Even if they chat happily, the possibility of the three of them ignoring the battery of their mobile phones at the same time is still relatively low. .”
"That's right..." Conan continued: "Besides, I think Brother Heiji must have been waiting for a long time, but in the end he didn't even wait for Mr. Kusukawa."
"Eh? How do you know, Conan?" Mao Lilan asked.
"Because look, right next to that piece of paper, is there a pattern printed on it by the water stains?" Conan stepped forward and pointed upward, "This is the logo on the hat that Heiji brother often wears. , because it was stained with rainwater, so when he was leaning against the door waiting for someone, he accidentally printed it on it."
"Also, in addition to the tape by the door, there is also a position about the same height as me..."
"That's it." Ye Gengyi reached out and tried to twist the doorknob without waiting for him to finish.
Just as he was about to tell why he knew, Hattori Heiji, a detective who had been waiting here for a long time, had a stiff expression.
Then there was a click and the door opened.
"Strange...why isn't it locked?" Maori Kogoro and Mao Lilan were startled for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Gengyi.
Ye Gengyi said: "Heiji should be able to pick locks, right? Because I have this idea when I see him several times..."
Well...
Several people:"......"
If you took the name off we'd think you were talking about a stalker or a thief...
However, that question is no longer important.
Right now, the door is open.
Enter? Or... not entering?
The hesitation only existed in everyone's minds for a second.
With Conan taking the lead, the four of them arrived at Nanchuan's apartment without any mental obstacles.
"As expected, there is no one..." Mouri Kogoro said.
"Did you just forget to lock it?" Mao Lilan guessed.
"Hey... look, there's something here..." Conan found a mark blackened by a pencil on the table, "It's about the same size as a note paper."
"I see, someone wanted to know what was written on the previous note, so he blackened the second note with a pencil..."
Mouri Kogoro said: "I think it was the Osaka boy who did it. However, the note with the handwriting on it has also been taken away. There really is no clue left."
"No...if the pen is strong enough, even the second piece of paper may leave traces," Conan smeared with a pencil while looking at the words that gradually appeared on it.
At this time, on the ceiling of the Ito family villa in Kenbashi Town.
In the darkness, Hattori Heiji's voice came faintly:
"He Ye, is that hole... here?"
"Not there, a little to the left..."
"left?"
A certain black man held the stick-like object in his hand, moved it a little to the left based on his intuition, and then pushed it forward: "Is...is this here?"
"Yeah! It hurts...where are you stabbing? Didn't I say it's on the left side?"
"Bai... idiot, don't be so loud, it will attract those guys out!"
Hattori Heiji lowered his voice and tried to slow down his tone, "Although I've wanted to try it a long time ago, this is my first time doing this kind of thing. Kazuha, please be patient!"
"Okay... okay, I understand, please do it more accurately next time."
At the same time, the two of them made dangerous attempts from the darkness.
Outside the villa, the doorbell rang.
Because we have to guard against sudden attacks by gangsters.
Hattori Heiji's attention was not very focused to begin with. He was so frightened that the pin in his hand accidentally fell into the gap in the floor...
outside the door.
"Two high school students with Kansai accents?" Ms. Ito shook her head while holding a Siamese cat. "Sorry, I haven't seen them before."
"Oh...as expected..." Mouri Kogoro sighed.
This Ito family is already the sixth household they have visited.
6 of the 8 families have the surname Ito...
Could it be that this is the legendary Ito Street?
"I'm sorry...I can't help you," Ms. Ito showed a kind smile, "Looking at how tired you are, I should have invited you in for a cup of tea, but...I'll do it right away. Going out..."
"No, you're so polite," Mao Lilan noticed the badge on the other person's chest, "Speaking of which, are you the lawyer Ms. Misari Ito?"
"Huh? You know me?"
"Yes, because my mother once mentioned you. She said that no matter what the case, you would only receive very low remuneration. You are very famous in the industry."
"Your mother is also a lawyer?"
"Yes, her name is Concubine..."
"Hey, don't talk about family matters in front of other people's doors!" A certain servant ruthlessly interrupted his daughter's 'genealogy' introduction. After asking for the address of the next 'Ito' family, he turned around and left.
"Brother Gengyi, you think it's strange too, right?" Beside him, Conan dragged his chin with one hand and frowned.
"Yeah... She was wearing a formal suit with a lawyer badge on her chest, but she was holding a cat before going out." Ye Gengyi said: "Such a showy and contradictory woman should have been unexpectedly visited by us. I was frightened, so I picked up the cat to ease my uneasiness."
"Hey, Saraichi..." Mouri Kogoro reminded: "Lawyer Ito is very famous. I advise you not to say that in other places."
"That's right, Brother Gengyi..." Conan was also full of doubts, "Besides, was there anything wrong with her actions just now?"
By the way, he didn't notice the problems Ye Gengyi mentioned. He only noticed that there seemed to be a lot of shoe prints in front of the door...
"Because cats..." Ye Gengyi looked at a few people and said seriously: "It sheds hair easily."
ah?
A certain detective and his tool were confused.
"That's right," Mao Lilan suddenly realized, "I remember my mother also said that you must not hug Wulang when you are wearing formal clothes or attending important occasions, otherwise it will be a waste of time to clean up the hair that has got on your clothes. ”
She paused, "So...Lawyer Ito was fully dressed and said he was going out soon...it's really strange."
"That's it!" Conan felt that he had gained new knowledge.
"Baowu Lang..." Ye Gengyi looked at a certain tool man.
"Ahem, that's a cat raised by Yingli..."
Mouri Kogoro blushed and quickly changed the subject: "You must be overthinking it. Has anyone ever stipulated that wearing formal clothes means you must attend formal occasions?"
