Mihua Town, shopping street.
Deposit money in the bank and keep some for spending later.
The three of them dropped by here to buy some ingredients and coffee.
Hattori Heiji held two full shopping bags in his hands and walked slowly behind Ye Gengyi to be level with Conan.
Although he was temporarily reduced to a bag-carrying tool, he was really happy with the idea of going out on foot.
He bent down slightly and whispered:
"Is it true Kudo... On your way back last night, you almost hit a pedestrian, and then you found out that someone had installed a listening device on your body?!"
"Well, yes," Conan nodded, "Ever since I gave my number to Xiaolan, she would call me every time I encountered a case. It was also thanks to the phone with poor signal, otherwise I really wouldn't know for sure. Can find bugs on your body.”
It's coming, it's coming, the thrill that I wanted is finally here... Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up and he carefully inquired about the details:
"Do you remember what that pedestrian looked like?"
"From the outside, he looked just like an ordinary old man. Because Aunt Yingli stepped on the brakes in time, and the other party admitted that she was too old to see the red light clearly, so I didn't care at the time..."
Conan held his chin with one hand while recalling, and suddenly felt that one side of his view was blocked by a shadow. He raised his eyes and immediately pushed a black face away, "Hey, don't come so close to me suddenly. I still have that bug. On the body."
Um?
Hattori Heiji was startled and said suspiciously: "What? Didn't you wrap up the bug?"
"Of course, the important thing is that you don't get so close to me suddenly..." Conan looked disgusted.
He has not forgotten the scene of Heipi and Brother Gengyi cheating on him at the Fujieda family's villa.
What's going on with being so close now? late!
"cut……"
Hattori Heiji curled his lips and continued: "Then you are going to take the bug to Dr. Agasa and ask him to help you investigate."
"Well, but I don't plan to tell Brother Geng about this," Conan reminded: "So don't let it slip later."
Don't tell brother Gengyi?
Could it be that Kudo was badly hit, right? I'm afraid he would react like this... Hattori Heiji had a thought and said cautiously:
"Could it be related to that organization?"
Conan said "hmm" and didn't hide much: "It's just a suspicion at the moment. Further confirmation is needed. Otherwise, I really can't figure out what the old man's purpose was in installing a bug on me..."
Arrive at the 2-chome of Yoneka Town.
Due to the lack of sufficient evidence, the two of them failed to discuss the reason along the way.
As a detective, Conan has long been accustomed to not forgetting to look left and right even when he is thinking.
Alas, when will I be able to return to Kudo Shinichi's appearance and resume my previous life... He sighed with emotion, subconsciously looking at the Kudo house that no one has lived in since his parents went abroad and he became smaller. House.
Suddenly his eyes narrowed and fell on the delivery port of the mailbox, where he saw a brand new corner of the letter exposed.
Normally, Conan would probably think it was a credit card bill for water and electricity, or a greeting card from some Kudo Shinichi fans.
However, thinking of the old man yesterday, he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this letter.
"Hey, Hattori, you go back with Saraichi-san first." Conan pulled a certain black man's sleeve with a serious look on his face.
"Really, you have to explain it to me later."
After Hattori Heiji complained, he took a few decisive steps to catch up with Ye Gengyi who was walking in front.
In the living room.
Dr. A Li is still helping Conan sort out investigation data.
Haibara Ai was lying on the sofa, wearing a mask on her face and sleeping on her side with a blanket. At first glance, she felt like she was dying.
Hattori Heiji put the two shopping bags on the coffee table, handed over the sorting work to Ye Gengyi, and asked: "What's wrong with her?"
"Xiao Ai didn't sleep all night. I was worried that her cold would get worse, so I asked her to move to the living room to rest temporarily. If anything happens, I can hear it immediately."
As Dr. A Li explained, he looked at the two of them, a little strange: "Did you two go out shopping early in the morning?"
"It's just an after-dinner exercise," Ye Gengyi quickly sorted and stored the food, made himself a pot of coffee, and said, "I'm going to the basement."
Therefore, there was no need for him to cover up anything for Kudo. Genichi-san didn't care at all whether that guy came with him or not... The corner of Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched, and he suddenly had the illusion that he was once again fighting against the air.
There is no focus at all, is there any!
A few minutes later.
Conan sneaked in from the entrance.
After noticing that Ye Gengyi was not in the living room.
He first put the bug that was wrapped several layers of cloth in the corner, and then took out the letter with the paint on it from his arms. After confirming that Haihara Ai on the sofa had not woken up, he decisively called to Dr. Heiji. Went to the dining table and took out the letter.
…
Vermouth
"There is no address or stamp, only a signature. It's really a strange letter. What's wrong, Kudo?" Hattori Heiji glanced at the outside of the envelope and asked, "Do you know this person?"
"Well, because I still care a little..."
Conan said: "Doctor, do you remember, the Mantian employee who gave us clothes some time ago, you said her name seemed to be Wei Meisi."
"Hey, I remembered it after hearing what you said," Dr. Ali suddenly said, "At that time, I specially thanked President Ishikawa for giving us such an expensive gift, but President Ishikawa said that he didn't have it at all. He arranged for employees to give us clothes...and he didn’t know the employee named Wei Meisi.”
"What Mantendo employee? Is there that person on the Queen Elizabeth?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"It was the time at the Rice Krispies Museum," Conan explained: "Also, at that time, the woman named Wei Meisi did not do anything weird except asking the doctor to hand over our clothes. Now it seems that maybe it is not that weird. Simple……"
"Please, Kudo, you are too slow. When such a mysterious woman appears, even if it links her to Kaitou Kid, you shouldn't not investigate, right?" Hattori Heiji squinted.
"Idiot, how do you know I haven't done any research?"
Conan rolled his eyes at him, "Afterwards, I went to the store selling clothes to inquire, and I found out from the clerk that Brother Gengyi went to sell clothes with a very beautiful girl..."
"Eh?! Brother Sarada is with her? Why?" Hattori Heiji's eyes widened.
"Because Brother Gengyi was helping the doctor sell games at the time, and the other party approached him as an employee of Mantiantian. Besides, didn't I say that the other party just gave each of us a pair of well-fitting clothes, and did nothing else at all? Anything suspicious."
Conan paused and showed an expression that said, "I've thought of what you thought of." He continued: "Besides, I also asked Brother Gengyi. He doesn't know the person named Wei Meisi."
"..."
Hattori Heiji was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said:
"Well, let's take a look at what's written in the letter first..."
