call……
The motorcycle stopped at the intersection of 2-chome. At this time, the sky had completely darkened, like a colorful painting.
"Thank you Sister Sera. This is your helmet. Please be safe on the way back."
Conan pretended to have an innocent smile, and after thanking him, he just stood there with his expression on, with a posture of 'I want to watch you leave'.
With such a childish appearance, if you hadn't been in contact with him, you would definitely be fooled.
Sera Masumi looked at his face, slightly in a trance.
Edogawa Conan... no matter in height, body shape, or voice, he looks exactly like the child I met at the beach when I was a child.
He is so smart at a young age.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of the teenage version of his mother, and if Kudo Shinichi hadn't been 17 years old, I would have doubted whether Edogawa Conan would be Kudo Shinichi's son. Well...he married into a family named Edogawa.
Sera Zhenzhen made a few slanders with strict logic, took the helmet handed over by Conan, and put it in the trunk:
"You're welcome, Conan, if you find anything, remember to call me~"
She blinked and turned the throttle.
The motorcycle made a low roar, a burst of smoke came out of the exhaust pipe, and then left.
Watching Sera Masumi's retreating back, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, gradually regained his innocent expression, turned around and ran into the doctor's house.
Between the street lights and the dancing shadows, a dark car slowly stopped at the intersection.
Behind the unlowered car window, Kanter's eyes passed through the silent night and fixed on the figure entering No. 22. After a moment, the car drove in the direction where Masumi Sera left.
Here, Conan showed off his acting skills again, pretending to be out of breath as he pushed the door open and walked into the entrance hall.
A lingering aroma of salt, pepper and barbecue penetrated the nostrils.
In the living room, Dr. Ali, who had eaten and drank enough, was sitting on the sofa to eat. He turned around to see Conan and said hello with a smile:
"You came?"
"Uh... we ate very early today. Has everyone... gone back?"
Conan looked at the empty living room.
In his original idea, since it was summer vacation, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta should be either playing video games or doing summer homework and waiting for dinner. He just happened to have a look and made up a story. A suitable excuse.
result……
Where are people?
"Moreover, it's not very safe recently. I sent them back more than an hour ago when it was still dark." Dr. A Li said.
"Then...barbecue is..." Conan sniffed the air with his nose again.
Although barbecue is not the most time-consuming meal, it still feels strange if you have the mentality of 'eat it before it gets dark'.
He asked the doubts in his heart.
Dr. A Li also said very straightforwardly:
"Oh, because we baked a lot at noon, dinner was heated directly in the oven."
"..."
Conan's mouth twitched.
Okay...it turns out it's already been busy...
But since the cook is Brother Geng, most likely he deliberately cooks more lunch and saves time on dinner.
He walked to the sofa and lowered his voice: "So, Brother Gengyi has gone to the basement now?"
"No la."
Dr. A Li explained: "He has been doing theoretical research some time ago. After sending the children home, he went back to the bedroom to rest."
There is obviously a former SEAL sniper outside who is committing a crime... However, because the identity of the prisoner has been determined, he will not participate in the subsequent arrest stage at all. I have to say that he really looks like Geng Yige's character...
After Conan sighed, he walked over to the doctor and sat down without thinking too much.
"Shinichi?" Dr. Ali cast a questioning look.
Conan glanced sideways at Ye Gengyi's bedroom, and after confirming that the door was still closed, he asked:
"Brother Gengyi didn't call Xiaolan to tell me about my departure, right?"
"No……"
Dr. A Li thought for a while and then added: "Gengyi has been helping the children design their summer vacation homework during the day. Uh... Speaking of which, I didn't even mention you during the barbecue for lunch."
Conan: "..."
What is this feeling of relief but inexplicably bad mood...
"What's wrong with you, Shinichi?" Dr. Ali cast a questioning look.
"Ah...no, it's nothing..."
Conan coughed dryly and changed the subject: "By the way, doctor, can you check the criminal files that my father has recorded before?"
"Of course."
Dr. Agasa asked a little strangely: "I was asked to build the service data by Yusaku, but... later Yusaku said that using electronic data to record criminal information in private would be at risk of leakage, and it has not been updated for a while."
"Doctor, I would like to ask you to help me search for any cases related to 'dice' or 'shells'."
Conan's expression became a little more serious.
"Well, that's no problem, but... Shinichi..."
Dr. Ali hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Isn't it dangerous for you to be alone?"
"There is no way. For a case like this, only if Brother Genichi or Uncle take the initiative to ask the Metropolitan Police Department to participate in the search, the Megure Police Department may agree. As for me, there is no way to return to Kudo Shinichi now... If If Hunter is not caught early, the whole of Tokyo will fall into panic sooner or later... But don't worry, doctor."
Conan first stated the pros and cons, and then changed the subject:
"I can contact Teacher Judy for information about the Metropolitan Police Department. There are also people who are collecting clues to investigate with me..."
He told what happened today when he and Masumi Sera were investigating the case together.
Dr. A Li's eyes widened after hearing this, and his expression became nervous: "Has she already noticed something?"
"I don't know either……"
Conan shook his head: "But no matter what, that guy named Seriang is now Xiaolan's classmate. Avoiding can't solve the problem. We can only contact him first and then see what the other person wants to do."
Dr. A Li's advice failed, so he had no choice but to warn:
"Well, you must pay attention to your safety."
"I know." Conan nodded.
He understands how serious the consequences of revealing his identity are, so the two most important things to him now are:
The first is to find out the other party's purpose during the contact with Sera Masumi without arousing her suspicion.
The second is to find out as soon as possible on this basis the significance of the two items Hunter left at the scene, "dice" and "shell casings."
After all... the doctor's skateboard doesn't support him riding around Yoneka Town around the clock, and now the only person who can investigate the case with him is Sera Masumi.
