After walking a few steps on the long street, Ye Gengyi noticed two figures behind him.
It's not that Heiji and Conan's tracking skills are bad, it's that their behavior cannot be called stalking at all.
Even if it was a little bit of a cover-up, Ye Gengyi couldn't pretend to be unaware as he walked so carelessly behind him.
He stood helplessly, and the two people immediately ran over when they saw this:
"hey-hey..."
"Brother Gengyi, are you looking for some clues, right?"
"I'm going to visit Men Xie's house." Ye Gengyi didn't hide anything.
"Eh? But Miss Shimabukuro said that after the celebration, she would take us to visit?" Hattori Heiji was startled, "If a few strangers go, her drunkard father may not pay attention to us."
"Maybe." Ye Gengyi declined to comment.
"Go to Men Xie's house... to have a look?" Conan repeated this sentence again, and then suddenly said: "Brother Gengyi, are you trying to sneak in secretly?"
"Ah?" Hattori Heiji was startled. He quickly looked around to make sure that no one noticed the three of them on the noisy street. Then he lowered his voice and said, "It's not good to do this. If Miss Saori's father is If we find out and call the police, we might be arrested by the police..."
"First of all, Men Xie Shazhi's alcoholic father may not be at home at this time." Ye Geng said: "Secondly, the assumption of sneaking into other people's homes is the kid who said this question, right?"
"I..." Conan was speechless after being defeated.
Yes, yes...he is just such a dark-hearted kid.
"Then what are you going to do?" Hattori Heiji was curious.
"Let's go take a look first." Ye Gengyi walked directly in one direction without explaining.
Hattori Heiji and Conan followed silently until they came to an area of two-story single-family villas and saw the word 'monkyo' on the door plate.
That's too exaggerated. When exactly?
Because along the way, they actually didn't ask anyone for the address of Men Xie's home.
Could it be...
"Brother Genichi, have you been to Mermaid Island before?" Hattori Heiji guessed.
"No." As soon as Ye Gengyi finished speaking, he found a metal key under a nearby flowerpot.
"this..."
The two detectives were stunned.
Could it be that the so-called taking a look means taking someone's spare key to go in?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
This kind of behavior is no different from sneaking in secretly!
Ye Geng put on his gloves, opened the door and walked in.
During this period, he even ignored the two people behind him.
"Hey..." Hattori Heiji sighed deeply, and then followed in with Conan.
"Brother Gengyi...is Miss Saori's father really not at home?"
Hattori Heiji asked in a low voice.
Although this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, following Brother Gengyi, he always has the illusion that they are here to kill people and silence them...
"If the dugong arrow that Monkyo Saori lost was stolen by Monkyo Benzo, he might be celebrating in some izakaya now." Ye Geng said.
Monkyo...Benzo? Men Xie Shaori's father actually even investigated this?
Hattori Heiji was startled, recalling the previous conversation at the shrine, and suddenly said: "Oh...I understand! Brother Sarada, you mean that Miss Saori's Dugong Arrow might have been sold by her father. Already?"
"It's just a guess," Ye Gengyi said: "After all, if you listened carefully to the discussions of those tourists, you should know that spending tens or millions to buy a dugong arrow is nothing to them. Big deal.”
"But, even if he really sold the arrow, we shouldn't be able to find any clues when we come to his house to look for it," Conan muttered, "Unless..."
"Unless he hid the money he got from selling arrows or the receipt of depositing it to the bank on the island at home!"
Hattori Heiji continued:
"After all, dugong arrows have extraordinary significance on this island, and if a drunkard suddenly gets a huge sum of money, in order not to arouse others' suspicion, he has no choice but to do that. I'm right, brother Geng Yi !”
Conan: "..."
I feel like I'm being ignored...
"Yeah." Ye Geng nodded.
To him, these are secondary.
The focus of his concern was to see if the 'Exorcist Nemesis' would react here.
The action begins,
The two men's search plan was implemented successfully.
After a while, Conan, who liked to dig through trash cans, found a wrinkled bank statement.
It clearly records that at 10 o'clock this morning, a sum of 1 million was deposited into the bank card by Benzo Monkyo.
"It seems like the Dugong Arrow was indeed sold by him!" Conan's glasses reflected a white light.
On the other side, Hattori Heiji also found the travel bag prepared by Monkyo Saori in her bedroom.
"Headache medicine, toiletries, and a change of clothes...it's weird."
Hattori Heiji muttered: "If you really want to run away from home, why don't you bring your luggage?"
So, when the two of them prepared to discuss their findings, they discovered that Ye Gengyi, who had come with them... was missing.
Three minutes ago.
After walking around inside and outside the Men Xie's home, Ye Gengyi felt a little disappointed.
Because the 'Exorcism Buster' still didn't respond at all.
Does it really have to come into contact with the real thing?
With such doubts, Ye Geng left the Menxiao family alone. As for Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan who came with him, he simply forgot about them...
It's night and there's no moon.
The cold weather still failed to wipe out people's enthusiasm for the celebration.
The drums beat like thunder, and the flames made a low murmur in the wind.
Hundreds of tourists held wooden signs and looked forward to the dugong celebration later.
Among them, Hattori Heiji and Conan, with indescribable expressions, stared at a guy who was said to have just arrived here after dinner.
"Brother Gengyi, is the seafood hotpot delicious?" A certain black man said with a resentful look on his face.
"Well... overall it's not bad," Ye Gengyi thought for a while and added: "But too much chili base is used, which masks the taste of the seafood itself."
Hattori Heiji:"......"
Conan: "..."
How ridiculous is it to talk about the taste of hot pot to two people who have not eaten?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Apologize! Hey!
"Brother Heiji, I thought you triggered the secret passage in the room," Conan squinted at someone, "Who would have thought that you actually went back to have dinner by yourself."
"Oh, I saw that you were looking for me seriously, so I didn't bother you, but..." Ye Gengyi asked back: "It shouldn't be that difficult to judge that I have left after discovering that the shoes I left in the entrance were missing. It’s an inference, right?”
Hattori Heiji:"......"
Conan: "..."
Just because they didn't believe you would leave suddenly, they finally went to the entrance after confirming that there was no so-called secret passage in the house...
Noticing the expressions of the two people, Ye Gengyi shrugged: "I like to complicate simple problems. Maybe this is what detectives are."
Hattori Heiji:"......"
Conan: "..."
You curse again!
