After Conan was depressed for a while, he suddenly realized that he hadn't called the office yet.
Thinking of this, he pressed the number almost instinctively and dialed it quickly.
However, in the next dozen seconds, only a busy tone of 'beep-beep-' came from the receiver, and no one answered.
"Strange, don't remember they said they were going out?"
Conan felt something was wrong, and tried calling Xiaolan's cell phone several times, but no one answered.
No way......
"Um...I have something to do and I have to go back first," Conan ran forward two steps and turned around and said, "The three of them will leave it to the doctor and brother Gengyi."
Hui Yuan Ai looked at the other person's back with a solemn expression.
Her intuition told her that Conan must have obtained some information after talking to Takagi Wataru, and coupled with his behavior of deliberately avoiding himself, she knew without thinking that the incident must have something to do with those in the organization...
"What's wrong with him?" On the side, Mitsuhiko and Genta were full of curiosity.
"I think Conan is hungry." Yoshida Ayumi recalled what happened in the kitchen earlier and answered firmly.
...
Damn it, something really happened!
On the other side, Conan's face was full of anxiety.
Because on the way back, he also tried calling Mouri Kogoro's mobile phone, but no one answered.
It couldn't be such a coincidence that both of them forgot to bring their mobile phones, right?
Conan, who usually carries three communication devices with him, believes that the probability of such a thing happening is almost zero.
Keep running wildly and keep pressing the replay button.
In this way, Conan finally ran to No. 39 of 5-chome with a feeling of uneasiness.
Looking from the outside, the lights on the second floor of the office were still on, but this still didn't make him relax his vigilance.
"Huchi... Huchi... Fortunately, Mr. Goda's home is not far from here..."
Conan took a few breaths and was about to go upstairs.
"Didi..."
At this moment, a beetle car drove by and slowly stopped in front of him...
The car door opens.
He saw Hui Yuan Ai walking down with a calm expression.
Immediately, he heard Ye Gengyi's familiar voice. It seemed that after saying, "I'll pick up the doctor," the beetle car turned around and left again.
Conan just stood there for a full seven or eight seconds before he recovered, "Hey! Why are you here too!"
"The doctor sent the children home and bought gifts for the visit. I told them that there was a program they wanted to watch at 6:30, so Brother Gengyi drove me over first."
Haihara Ai said, taking the initiative to walk towards the second floor of the office, "I didn't lie this time, that show was really interesting..."
"Who is asking you this!" Conan grabbed Haiyuan Ai's arm and said seriously: "I don't believe you can't see that it's very dangerous here!"
"I'm finally willing to say it, but are you going to discuss that topic on the street like this?"
Hui Yuan Ai whispered: "Although the word 'worry' is written all over your face, you must not lose your mind and reveal everything about your true identity and the organization..."
"Idiot... now is not the time to say such things," Conan said solemnly: "Get out of here before things get to that point."
"What are you doing?" Haiyuan Ai said with half-moon eyes, "I was invited to come over for a steak dinner."
Beef...steak?
Conan's head was full of questions, "What steak?"
"So you don't know... That detective uncle made a huge upset betting on horse racing. The phone call he made to Brother Gengyi was about this incident, and..."
Hui Yuan Ai withdrew his arm that was caught and said, "I rushed here in such a hurry to prevent you from saying or doing something that you will regret for the rest of your life when you are emotionally excited."
ah?
Conan was completely stunned, and it took him a while to figure things out.
What Officer Takagi said is definitely not false. Someone indeed sneaked into the Metropolitan Police Department and stole the files related to the 'Sleeping Kogoro'.
But this has nothing to do with Xiaolan and the others not answering the phone.
But why don't they answer the phone?
The question comes back again.
But this time, Conan has gradually calmed down those messy thoughts.
He looked up and saw Haiyuan Ai waiting for him in front of the office door on the second floor.
"call..."
Conan let out a breath and quickly walked over and opened the wooden door.
Sure enough, there was no one in the living room.
However, the TV was on and Okino Yoko's songs were still playing.
"Na, I seem to have found the reason why you can't get through the phone call." Haiyuan pointed sadly at the desk full of clutter.
Conan followed his line of sight and noticed that Kogoro Mouri's cell phone was charging there.
"But at this time, Xiaolan should be cooking. It's impossible not to hear the ringing of the cell phone and the phone..." Conan was still a little suspicious and was about to go to the third floor to confirm.
At the window, Haiyuan Ai, who was looking out, suddenly said: "Maybe she just went shopping..."
"Eh?"
Conan quickly ran to the window, and sure enough.
Across the road, Mao Lilan was walking towards the office with shopping bags in both hands.
"Well...it seems that I really thought too much this time."
Conan generously admitted his misjudgment.
Huihara Ai shrugged and refused to comment.
However, neither of them noticed. Just when they leaned over to the window and looked out.
In the alley beside Mao Lilan, Akai Shuichi decisively put out the cigarette butt on the wall, and then disappeared into the darkness.
...
Maori Detective Agency, third floor.
"Xiao Ai, you are so sensible. Like Conan and my father, they never help wash the dishes or set the tableware..." Mao Lilan praised with a smile.
"Thank you." Haiyuan Ai said calmly: "I have always done this at the doctor's house."
"That's so good... By the way, Yuanzi will be coming soon. Could you please sort out another set of tableware?"
Seeing Hui Yuan Ai nodding and following the instructions, Mao Lilan couldn't help but praise her a few more times, and then she did not forget to teach Conan: "You should also learn more from Xiao Ai."
Hey, hey, is it starting to roll up now... A certain detective had half-moon eyes, but he still responded helplessly: "Yes~"
The two of them helped cook, one on the left and the other on the right.
Not long after.
Suzuki Sonoko, Ye Gengyi and Dr. A Li also arrived one after another.
Hearing that they wanted to eat steak, the eldest lady of a certain chaebol family brought two bottles of wine.
After a few mouthfuls, Suzuki Sonoko started her daily banter:
"Wow! It's so delicious. It's even better than what my chef makes~ Xiaolan, whoever marries you in the future will definitely be very happy."
"Yuanzi! Stop joking..." Mao Lilan said helplessly.
"It tastes good." Ye Gengyi said.
"It's indeed delicious." Haiyuan Ai said.
"Anyway, it would be nice if I didn't inherit the genes of a woman who couldn't cook..." Mouri Kogoro sighed with emotion.
"Dad! If you miss your mother, just say so!" Mao Lilan retorted.
"Who would miss her!"
"Okay, okay, I have something serious to say."
Seeing that the two were about to start an argument, Suzuki Sonoko quickly took over the topic and said directly: "Kidd-sama appears again~"
