Mouri Kogoro still insists that since he is here, as a detective, he must at least meet his client.
Conan remained silent, obviously siding with his tool man.
Mao Lilan had no idea what to do with the two of them. She originally wanted to form a united front with Ye Geng. However, when she saw the young student she met on the road pacing around the room, half curious and half observing the surrounding environment, I immediately accepted my fate.
After their nerves were numbed or they adapted to this alternative decoration style, Kogoro Mouri and Conan quickly joined the ranks of onlookers.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden banging sound like something hitting it on the other side of the door panel.
"Eh? What's going on?"
Mouri Kogoro ran over and carefully turned the handle.
Conan stood nearby, staring warily at the gap that was getting wider and wider.
A few seconds later, as the door opened completely, a man with messy hair fell in on his back.
"ah!
! "
Mao Lilan screamed instinctively when she saw this scene.
However, Conan, who had the advantage of size, immediately made a judgment: "This person seems to be drunk."
He smelled a faint smell of alcohol.
"Eh?" Mao Lilan was stunned.
"Don't always make such a fuss..."
Mouri Kogoro cooed, squatted down and shook the other person: "Hey! Wake up."
It's rare to meet a new face. If the conversation goes smoothly, you might be able to ask something from the other person's mouth.
That's what he thought.
"……Well."
As a result, as if something was stuffed deep in his throat, the man just made a few meaningless "yeah" sounds, and then fell into a deep sleep.
"How bad is this guy's drinking ability? Hey...hey...don't sleep here."
Mouri Kogoro called out a few more times and said helplessly: "There's really nothing we can do about this guy."
Haha, you look no better than others when you are drunk... Conan slandered from the side:
"However, this person may be a guest who accidentally came to this villa like us."
"Eh?" Mouri Kogoro was startled.
"Look," Conan showed off in front of the 'new face' Ye Gengyi without knowing it: "Although it's not clear whether there is a road on the other side of the villa, this man must have been there not long ago. Outside……"
He walked to the man's feet, pointed to the other man's soles stained with slightly wet mud, and continued: "If he lived in the villa, he would have changed into more comfortable home clothes when he got home, and if he If you are a regular customer, his shoes should also be prepared here.”
"I remember that there didn't seem to be a shoe cabinet over there in the foyer..."
Mao Lilan, who instantly turned into a weak woman when encountering a strange incident, moved over cautiously.
"Yeah," Conan murmured, holding his chin with one hand, "This is what makes me feel weird..."
Although he was distracted a lot by the decoration of the villa at the beginning, he could still tell whether the carpet was clean or not by walking a few steps.
】
But... after being here for so long, they only met one maid in this villa.
"Let's move him to the sofa first."
Ye Gengyi walked over, grabbed the drunk man's arm, and scanned the other person's palms, cuffs, collar, etc. in sequence.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a pair of feet wearing black thick-soled leather shoes not far from the bright red carpet of the corridor, walking towards this direction without making the slightest sound.
What an unpleasant carpet...
As soon as Ye Geng recognized it, it was the maid who came.
He looked away calmly.
Fully playing the role of a young student with a good heart but limited abilities.
The arm under the drunk man's arm was hard, his legs staggered a few steps, and he pushed the man towards Mouri Kogoro.
In order to avoid hitting the door frame, the latter could only turn his body from the side to the front, and put his hands on the chest and back of the drunk man.
Just like that, he saw the maid who was almost in front of several people.
In this corridor dominated by three-quarters of black, the maid narrowed her black jewel-like eyes, tilted her head slightly, looked at the drunk man doubtfully, and said:
"Excuse me...is this also a guest who comes to see the master?"
"Huh?"
Mouri Kogoro was surprised, "Don't you know him?"
The maid said nothing, but shook her head slightly.
Uh...Mouri Kogoro had a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
Ye Gengyi suddenly said: "Could it be like us that your master didn't tell you about this? If it's convenient, can you tell us how long your master will continue to read in the study?"
The maid's attitude towards strangers reminded him of the scene in front of the villa.
At that time, when Kogoro Mouri mentioned the surname "Yamanaka" and the contents of the other party's commission, the other party did not give a positive answer.
"Okay...just a moment, everyone."
The maid bowed, turned and walked towards the stairs.
Is this... for communication? So she doesn't know how long her master usually stays in the study?
Eh? ? ?
Then if Gao Yuanyuan doesn't ask this question, how long will we have to wait here...
For a moment, Conan, Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan all had very strange feelings in their hearts.
There was silence for a few seconds.
It was Ye Gengyi who pretended to be exhausted and urged to speak. Only then did Maori Kogoro come to his senses and together they moved the unidentified drunk man to the sofa.
But...who is this person?
In this state, let alone climbing a mountain, he can stand up and take two steps without falling. He is considered very powerful...
"We didn't meet any other means of transportation along the way. This person must have come from another direction..."
While Conan was speaking, both hands had already reached into the man's pockets. His expression was so natural and his movements were so nimble that even a 'veteran pickpocket' who had been there for many years would not be able to help but give him a thumbs up when he saw it.
On another occasion.
Ye Gengyi would definitely take the opportunity to make this kid suffer, but he didn't have that intention now.
Even Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro acquiesced in this behavior.
After a while.
Under the gaze of Liu Dao, Conan stopped rummaging, jumped off the sofa with a more solemn look on his face, and said:
"Nothing at all……"
"This is too strange," Mouri Kogoro also stepped forward and turned over it, and then reluctantly came to a conclusion, saying: "Oh... I can only talk about it after meeting the client."
There was nothing they could do about it. That maid was careless. They couldn't just call the police rashly because of a drunkard who didn't carry any identification before they figured out the situation.
