same moment.
Dr. Ali's house on the other side.
Conan finished his lunch carelessly and watched Ye Gengyi return to the basement again. In order to understand the strange feeling in his heart, he decided to go back to his home and investigate thoroughly.
Sneak carefully into the yard.
Sure enough, the numbers on the water meter, electricity meter, and natural gas all increased slightly compared to when I looked at the mailbox in the morning.
Strange……
If it is a water meter and an electric meter, I can still understand it. Natural gas?
Did the person who sneaked into my house cook a meal from it?
The strange feeling became stronger. Conan took a deep breath and turned on his strength-enhancing shoes and watch-type anesthesia gun.
In terms of geographical location, this is indeed the most suitable place to monitor Huiyuan.
But people who use water, electricity and natural gas so blatantly are, if they are not masters who are extremely confident in their own abilities, then they are rookies who don't know how to hide.
Huh... Calm down, judging from the increase in numbers, there are only two people hiding here at most, and there is another possibility. The people hiding here are actually...
"Oh, you actually found me here."
A cold muzzle was pressed against his big head, and then the same cold water poured down from top to bottom.
...my own mother.
Conan's half-moon eyes, after silently supplementing his guess in his mind, said helplessly: "So you haven't gone back yet."
"What, this tone..."
Kudo Yukiko was quite dissatisfied with her son's reaction, "It's a shame that after Eri and I finished shopping, we deliberately hid the car in another place and walked here."
"Haha, then, what are you going to do here?" Conan continued with half-moon eyes.
"Of course it's the murder that happened at Fujieda's house yesterday~"
After Kudo Yukiko finished sipping the water from the water gun, she squatted down and said:
"Later, I told your father exactly what happened. He praised Mr. Ye's reasoning ability, and also told me that your child might have encountered some trouble recently..."
As she said that, she put on a pitiful expression, "Mom is also worried about you, so she plans to hide here and observe your situation. Who knew that you, a child, could be so heartless... Wuwuwu..."
Hey, hey, he's an old actor... Conan walked silently to the bathroom and took out a towel. While wiping his head, he perfected his plan and said:
"Forget it, it's okay if you don't go back, just do me a favor tomorrow."
"Um?"
Kudo Yukiko wiped away the string of crystal tears that kept falling from the corner of her eyes, changed her face in a second and said with a smile: "What's the deal? Just agree to it."
Conan pouted, "Make up Hattori to look like me, and... Regarding your friend Sharon Wynyard, I want to know more about her past..."
…
When you are immersed in something, time always flies by.
It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, Ye Gengyi realized that it was time to make dinner again.
Haibara Ai didn't eat, probably because she stayed up late and aggravated her cold. After enjoying two bowls of ginger soup and cola by herself, she leaned on the sofa and watched TV with her body half sideways.
Among the four, Conan, who was smiling all over his face, thought he was the most tired one.
Strangely, I had clearly used a voice changer to pretend to be the organizer of the event and called Xiaolan. The police technical association expert was also specifically mentioned in the phone call. Logically speaking, according to Xiaolan's character, he could be found in the mailbox. After the invitation and letter, they should be given to this side...
Ding bell~ding bell~
Phew...Fortunately, if it were later, when Brother Gengyi returned to the basement again, then the only option would be to adopt the anesthesia injection plan.
Conan let out a breath and motioned with his eyes to a certain inventor to answer the phone.
"Hello? It's Xiaolan. Are you looking for Gengyi? Okay, I'll call him."
"An inappropriate Halloween party?"
Ye Gengyi didn't pretend to be surprised, and kept his calm tone, "Is it something similar to a masquerade party?"
Mao Lilan said "Yes" and continued to explain: "Because the invitation stated that the theme is 'Halloween', all participants must make up as monsters and wear formal black suits and black dresses to participate..."
"Can't Mr. Maoli participate?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"No, because the content of the letter is a bit excessive. Dad said that since others are looking for trouble, how can he back down? He is now asking Yuanzi to help with makeup..."
Mao Lilan said with a smile: "Although I have persuaded him that this may be just a way of writing letters, dad seems to be angry and cannot listen to what I say."
"That's it..." Ye Gengyi muttered to himself, as if he was thinking about it.
"Actually, their organizer just called me and asked me if I could contact Geng Yi. They seemed to think that if experts from the police technical association participated in this decryption event, it would be more interesting, because they talked The method was somewhat provocative. Originally I didn’t intend to tell you, but I was worried that they would contact you through other means..."
After Mao Lilan paused for a moment, he said with shame: "And after hearing this, dad seemed to be even more angry. He said that I must call you, and then the two of us will reason together and slap their organizer in the face..."
The organizer called Mao Lilan and then called me to participate?
Ye Gengyi did not agree immediately, but quickly thought about the logical relationship.
Did Belmode get the news from Gin or Vodka and take the initiative?
Forget about vodka, is gin that stupid?
How can we investigate after exposing me to the public...
So, according to the most reasonable analysis of the situation, the correct way to open it is that Belmode wanted to find an excuse to transfer me away, but in the end he learned from Gin that I had other tasks.
Moreover, under this premise, it would be stupid to directly ask Xiaolan to call me to invite me, because I can directly refuse...
Therefore, this was not Belmode's plan. She should be very happy that I was dismissed by Gin.
In doing so, I can ensure that I will not be at Dr. Ali's house tomorrow night, and it will not interfere at all with her 'Shirley Clearance' plan.
The reason is simple. Even if I become suspicious afterwards, Bellmode can use "What does the disappearance of your little girl have to do with me?" to excuse it. After all, your mission was arranged by Gin. If 'Haihara Ai' happens to be Whatever accident happened that night, Gin should be the culprit.
Hmm... The conditions I created were beneficial to Belmode, and the call from the organizer was definitely not made by her.
Otherwise, if this woman is so stupid, why would I bother asking Gin for a task that I can get away with freely?
So...it's Conan?
From a motivational perspective, only he would use this method to keep me away from the upcoming struggle at the Doctor's house.
Ye Gengyi thought for a moment, and after coming to a conclusion, he said: "Well... I also like to slap them in the face."
