After waiting for a moment, the detective armband could faintly hear the sound of a car driving away, and then it was quiet again.
After that, until Kogoro Mouri came back after making the call, there was no movement.
"Officer Megure said he would ask someone to help pay attention," Mouri Kogoro said solemnly, "but it is not yet certain that they have actually met the murderer, and they have lost contact with them for a short time. They cannot open a case for investigation, and the police have not It helps a lot.”
"Then should we go out and look for it?" Mao Lilan asked.
"The first clicking sound was the sound of metal locks, the locks on non-fully enclosed trucks," Chi Feichi said, "Then it was the sound of cloth rubbing against solidified cement, and finally the sound of the car driving away. Listen to There was a slight clicking sound between the engine and the movement. It was indeed a truck transporting goods. They should have seen someone killing someone or a corpse in a concrete building..."
"The murderer was still there at the time, so they didn't dare to speak loudly," Conan also recalled carefully, "After that, Mitsuhiko said something like, 'He seems to be carrying the deceased out'..."
"In other words, the murderer may have killed someone where they were, and then transported the body away in a truck," Mouri Kogoro analyzed while stroking his chin, "Or maybe the murderer used a truck to transport the body to where they were. place, they took the body out of the car and drove away... Could it be that they were hiding somewhere, planning to wait for the murderer to leave before coming out? As a result, the detective badge accidentally fell off and was never found? "
"You don't know them well enough." Chi Feichi said concisely.
Conan thought of a possibility and his eyelids twitched, "No way..."
"Ah?" Mao Lilan was puzzled.
"They may have followed." Conan said bravely.
"This..." Mao Lilan smiled reluctantly, "Xiao Shu is still with them. If Xiao Shu is frightened and starts crying, the murderer will find out..."
It’s over, I can’t say any more.
Three seven- or eight-year-old naughty kids and a one-and-a-half-year-old child take the initiative to follow a murderer... This is not an adventure, this is seeking death!
"It's also possible that they plan to leave that place first before calling us after it's safe." Conan held on to a little hope.
"Then wait for them to contact you," Chi Feichi said.
Mouri Kogoro nodded, "That's all we can do now, at least wait for another twenty minutes."
"Don't worry," Chi Feichi said, "I told Xiaoshu not to resist if you encounter gangsters. Tell the person that his family has money and let the gangsters call to ask for ransom."
Mao Lilan nodded, still uneasy.
This can really stabilize the gangster.
With contact, you might be able to get useful clues.
But are you sure a one-and-a-half-year-old child can do this?
…
After waiting for nearly three hours, there was still no news.
In the middle of the journey, Mouri Kogoro took Conan out and went to the street store to ask the clerk, trying to find the whereabouts of several children, but he still found nothing and had to turn back.
Just when Mao Lilan was about to go out to search again, an unfamiliar number called Chi Feichi's mobile phone.
"...I know where you are...wait for me right where you are."
Two sentences later, the phone was hung up.
Chi Feichi got up and walked to the door, "I'll pick them up, Xiaolan, you cook."
"Ah...ok!" Mao Lilan nodded subconsciously.
"I'll go too!" Conan ran out and closed the door behind him.
Mouri Kogoro finally came to his senses and scratched his head.
My eldest disciple still hangs up the phone so quickly, can't he be allowed to scold those brats?
Forget it, wait until someone comes back before scolding you.
More than half an hour later, the roar in the detective agency could be heard far away.
"Do you know how dangerous this is?!"
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta stood in a row obediently, their heads lowered to the stars of Mouri Kogoro's spit.
"You dare to run around with a one-and-a-half-year-old baby. What if something happens?"
"Why did you see someone being killed and then there was no news? It made us worry for so long!"
"For you little brats, I've traveled all over the place!"
Mouri Kogoro squirted.
Chi Feichi stood in front of the window, with his back to the others, looking outside and smoking.
When he went downstairs to pick up a group of children, there was someone in the car parked in the alley downstairs. When he came back, the people in the car were gone and the car was still parked there.
When he walked to the window to light a cigarette, a red dot disappeared quickly in the dark alley across the street, so fast that people thought it was an illusion.
However, he was pretty sure he saw it.
Moreover, there was a gray-white bird standing on the wall of a house in the alley, which completely marked Akai Shuichi's hiding place for him.
In the alley, Akai Shuichi stood in the shadow on the side of the wall, putting the cigarette butts he had put out in his hand, and quietly waiting for a troublesome person to leave from the window.
Things get complicated again when the troublemaker returns from Boston?
First, when Judy called him, Chi Feichi accidentally heard her.
Although he only heard one complaint, Chi Feichi must have discovered that Judy was sharing things about a group of them with others.
Later, a woman who had a good relationship with Chi Feichi moved into the apartment building where Judy lived. She happened to be upstairs from Judy, and the dark-skinned high school student also ran to test Judy.
In the past two days, Judy met Miss Isogai twice in the elevator. After testing, it seemed that she just resigned and came to Tokyo to open a store, and she happened to live there.
However, because Judy took the initiative to ask Miss Isogai to go shopping and find out information, the relationship between the two became a little closer, and Miss Isogai also began to invite Judy out.
Now Judy had to be careful to avoid Miss Isogai when she went out, and she had to be careful not to be followed. Except when she went to school to inquire about information, she would be asked out when she got home... He always felt that Judy was being held back.
Originally, they planned to let Judy live in Chi Feichi's apartment building, but considering Chi Feichi's acuity and the price of the apartment, they gave up in the end.
Unexpectedly, Chi Feichi in turn hammered a nail into Judy's side.
Whether intentional or not, this is indeed a troublesome figure.
Today I went to the Maori Detective Agency and suddenly went out to drive, which startled him. Just now he suddenly ran to the window to smoke...
That guy just caused a lot of trouble for Judy, could he turn around and attack him again?
Thinking back carefully, he probably didn't show any flaws just now.
…
Maori Detective Agency.
The three elementary school students got tired of waiting for Mouri Kogoro to spray, and bowed neatly, "I'm sorry, we know we were wrong!"
Mao Lilan couldn't bear to pursue the case any further, but thinking of the three children's recklessness, she still warned with a serious face, "You can't do this again!"
"Yes~" The three primary school students continued to pretend to be good.
"Brother Feichi," Mao Lilan turned to look at Chi Feichi who was standing in front of the window smoking, "do you want to say something?"
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Genta: "..."
Do it……
Hiroki Sawada stood in front of the sofa, playing with the comic books that Conan had left on the sofa, feeling somewhat sympathetic.
It was so miserable to be lectured in turn when I came back.
Fortunately, he is now a one-and-a-half-year-old child, and it is normal for him to be ignorant. He is also put in the perspective of a 'victim' and no one criticizes him.
Chi Feichi turned around, put out his cigarette in the ashtray on Maori Kogoro's desk, and said calmly, "Eat."
"Huh?" Yuantai was confused.
What about scolding? What about criticism?
"Brother Chi..." Mao Lilan said with half-moon eyes.
She asked Chi Feichi if he wanted to say something. She wanted Chi Feichi to seriously and severely criticize the naughty child, not to ask Chi Feichi to announce that dinner was ready.
"They know they are wrong, but they dare to do it next time. It's useless even if they say it a hundred times," Chi Feichi carried Hiroki Sawada to the dinner table and sat down. "Just come back safely."
"Hehe..." Mitsuhiko laughed as he scratched his head.
What to say about 'I dare you next time'... Brother Chi is talking nonsense!
"Hehe..." Ayumi was also a little embarrassed.
Yuantai was silent for a moment, "Ha...uh..."
Forget it, he stopped laughing.
Conan glanced at the three smiling people speechlessly.
He also felt that these three guys would be brave next time.
Mao Lilan suddenly felt powerless.
Don't say it if it's useless. Brother Fei Chi, do you want to be so realistic?
Forget it, let’s eat.
While eating, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko chattered about the whole incident.
"We haven't been able to buy the rare Masked Superman cards at the store at the corner of the street, so we wanted to take Xiaoshu to another street to have a look," Ayumi said, "but halfway through, Genta suddenly ran into that abandoned building. If you go inside, he won’t listen no matter what you say.”
"Because I saw a human model in the window of the building outside, and suddenly I thought that I could play house with Xiaoshu," Yuantai said, "It would be more interesting to have a model playing the role of an adult than a group of us children..."
"After we followed the building, we planned to play with the tree for a while with the mannequin," Mitsuhiko said, "when we suddenly heard someone arguing inside the building..."
"Although it was pitch dark inside the building, we did see a figure knocking another person to the ground," Ayumi continued, "After that, the other person was lying on the ground without moving. He was definitely dead. ”
Mitsuhiko continued, "Then the murderer started to move the body. Genta and I planned to see if there were any clues in his truck and where he wanted to transport the body so that we could call the police."
"As for Ayumi, let her take Xiaoshu and wait for us in the abandoned building," Yuantai looked at Ayumi, "but Xiaoshu followed and ran into the truck compartment."
"Of course," Conan glanced at the three of them half a moon, "You two ran into the cargo compartment. Xiaoshu probably thought you were playing a game with him, so he followed him. You should consider it anyway. Considering his age, he shouldn't have been running around at that time...and then what? You all followed him?"
Hiroki Sawada silently lowered his head and ate with a spoon, pretending to be a good boy.
"I originally wanted to take Xiaoshu and leave quickly, but just as I was about to get out of the cargo compartment, the murderer had already brought the body out," Bumi explained. "We could only hide behind the cardboard box together and watch the murderer put a box wrapped in cotton The figure moved into the cargo bed and drove to the mountains.”
"We also saw a pool of red seeping out of the corpse," Genta couldn't help but look at Hiroki Sawada, "Xiaoshu wanted to go up and see the red liquid, but we caught him."
Mouri Kogoro poured the wine, "Xiao Shu was not frightened and cried, thank God... Fei Chi, do you want to drink some more?"
Chi Feichi nodded, "Thank you, teacher."
It's interesting to see a group of people treating Hiroki Sawada as a kid who doesn't understand anything.
