"Hmph, that's a very stinky boy," Mouri Kogoro said: "Anyway, when it comes to finding someone, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not."
The coffin-sealing conclusion of the elders is undoubtedly very weighty.
After listening to a certain tool man's words.
Chiba Jinghua nodded, already having a rough impression of Kudo Shinichi in his mind.
Um...
In short, there is still a certain gap compared to his own son Heiji.
I saw the expressions of several people.
Conan was on the verge of tears, but couldn't refute.
By the way, Kudo Shinichi will be useless until he is completely restored to his original appearance...
"But how are we going to find Shibata?"
Character seen.
Chibo Jinghua is ready to continue testing the reasoning abilities of Maori Kogoro and Ye Gengyi.
"Do you know which university he graduated from?" Ye Gengyi suddenly asked.
"It seems to be from Shizuoka..." Chiba Jinghua subconsciously blurted out, then paused and added: "This is the news I got, I don't know if it is accurate."
"enough."
Ye Gengyi didn't expose it either.
Ever since the headmaster's wife mentioned Kudo Shinichi, the speculations about an affair and his first love were completely cleared from his mind.
Although I still don’t know the real purpose of the other party’s trip, since it is not an unspeakable commission, I don’t have to pretend that it doesn’t exist anymore.
“Once your hobby gains recognition and value, it should continue forever if nothing happens.”
Ye Gengyi analyzed: "Since you have such results in junior high school, there is no reason to give up after going to university. Therefore, you only need to contact the university in Shizuoka and ask Shibata Shiro as an old friend. It should be easy. Investigate the other party’s information.”
good idea!
Why didn't I think of it...
Conan's eyes lit up, this was much more efficient than the list he was about to propose to investigate the kendo competition.
This is indeed the case.
Because it is a holiday, the progress of investigating information will be slower.
Several people had lunch in the office.
Mouri Kogoro finally contacted the school staff at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and asked about Shibata Shiro's current job and the apartment where he lived.
What happens next is simple.
Get ready, rent a car, and go to Shizuoka.
Sit in the driver's seat again.
A certain toolman's mood was very complicated. It was only at this moment that he remembered that this commission had neither signed a contract nor negotiated a commission fee.
And not only that, the five drinks he had at Café Poirot in the morning were also recorded on the firm’s account, which made his already poor life even worse...
Forget it, the original commission amount for finding someone was not too high, it was just to make a name for himself.
Mouri Kogoro comforted himself.
7:17 p.m.
A high-rise apartment building in Shizuoka City.
Based on the information provided by the school, the five people came to the door marked 'Shibata's' house.
Mouri Kogoro pressed the doorbell.
After waiting for a while, no one answered.
"It's strange. I remember looking downstairs and the lights were on..."
"Could it be that I went for a walk?" Mao Lilan said, "After all, today is Sunday."
Chi Bo Jinghua hesitated slightly, but didn't say anything.
Pretending that she didn't have Shibata's contact information, she would apologize to Ye Gengyi and others later, but on Shibata's side, she clearly had an appointment and would probably visit in the afternoon or evening.
I checked the mobile phone in my handbag and found no calls or emails on it.
Is it really just something that happened and I went out temporarily?
"Let's just walk around and come back later." After finishing speaking, Mouri Kogoro was about to greet a few people to go downstairs.
At this time, from the room diagonally opposite, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline who definitely looked older than his actual age walked out.
"Are you here to see Shibata too?" the man asked.
also?
"Yes, but he doesn't seem to be at home." Mouri Kogoro said.
"How is that possible? We made an appointment to play mahjong for a while."
The man's expression remained unchanged, he walked straight to the door and rang the doorbell several times.
Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his pockets: "We just tried it..."
"Must be sleeping..." The man said nothing, as if returning to his own home, he went to turn the door handle.
"If the relationship isn't particularly good, then Shibata Shiro owes him money." Ye Gengyi suddenly said.
Um?
Several people were alert and immediately looked at the middle-aged man secretly.
indeed.
After all, this is someone else's home. Unless the relationship is good to a certain extent, normal people will press the doorbell gently like Mouri Kogoro just now, and then wait quietly for the owner's reaction.
And this middle-aged man...
After ringing the doorbell impatiently, he actually went to open the other party's door.
With this posture, it is not an exaggeration to say that the creditor is here to collect debt...
"Look, the door is open."
There was interference from the TV sound coming from inside the house, so the middle-aged man with already deteriorating hearing did not hear Ye Gengyi's comments.
He walked into the entrance hall on his own and shouted: "Hey, Shibata! Mahjong will start soon. How long do you want to sleep?"
Ye Gengyi, Mouri Kogoro and Conan naturally have no psychological barriers to breaking into private houses.
Mao Lilan and Chibo Jinghua followed in after only a slight hesitation.
The dining room is on the right side of the corridor leading from the entrance to the bedrooms.
On the table was a copy of today's newspaper and the remains of a normal meal.
"Miso soup and rice..."
Mouri Kogoro muttered: "Isn't this breakfast?"
"It seems to have become hard," Chibo Jinghua said, "It's such a pity that this piece of horsehead fish is used as a side dish."
"Eh?" Mao Lilan was startled, "What is a horsehead fish?"
"Sweet snapper." Chibo Jinghua's voice sounded almost at the same time as Ye Gengyi's.
Neither of them said anything further, obviously waiting for the other to speak.
Not good at cooking...
A certain detective looked at the band-aid on Chibo Jinghua's finger and frowned slightly.
Another lie.
At this moment, at the entrance behind him, from the main door that was not closed, a voice suddenly shouted, "Hey! Who are you? How can you enter someone else's home without permission? If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police!" "
"Wait...wait a minute, we are not suspicious people..."
Mouri Kogoro waved his hand and was about to explain.
"Golf equipment..." a calm voice sounded.
What?
Everyone was startled, including the sullen short-haired woman at the entrance, who all looked at the young man who was speaking.
Ye Geng said: "It is not suitable to walk back with such a heavy thing on your back. However, when we arrived, there happened to be no starting cars near the apartment. In other words, the lady who was suspected to be the owner of the house was very Maybe they came back before us or after us.”
He paused and continued: "Even if we leave aside our clothes, the combination of two men, two women and a child, no matter what, the first thing that comes to mind should be the guests who come to visit, and Or, you already knew that something happened in the house that required calling the police... huh?"
Just when Ye Gengyi finished speaking.
The short-haired woman looked horrified and subconsciously took half a step back.
same moment.
From the other side of the bedroom, the middle-aged man shouted from before:
"Mr. Shibata! What's wrong with you? Cheer up!"
