Chapter 416: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole?

"Eh, where did Kaoru go?" Motota asked Conan as he munched on his sandwich fifteen minutes later.

"He had just gone back first, and he seemed to have eaten a bad stomach. Conan gestured to the sandwich on the table.

"Oh, it shouldn't be. The ingredients I use are all fresh, how could it be. Hideo Goda couldn't believe it. After all, he has been a café manager for many years, and this guarantee is still there.

"Well, well. Kaoru is a person who has a bad stomach, and like the author, he has gastroenteritis at both ends in three days, and he hasn't even updated it. Conan waved his hand and complained honestly.

"Is that so?" Motota scratched his head and gave up thinking.

In fact, I was already a little panicked when I learned from Officer Takagi that my father's case record was missing.

And then Takagi said that the record had been sent back again, and when it had not yet been signed, I shuddered. So I had to leave the scene of the crime immediately and hurried back to the office.

If Dad's case record was lost after the bus incident, then I'm sure the person who did it must have been one of Belmode or Akai Shuichi.

At that time, I deliberately cleared out the undercover agents of Belmode and Akai Shuichi, but the records were still lost, and I was very keen to find out directly to my father's head.

This actually says a lot.

First of all, it is certain that the police department has been infiltrated by the FBI and the organization. After clearing an undercover agent, a new person immediately filled the position. And once again, the difficulty will increase a lot. It's bad for me.

Second, on the day of the bus incident, my father was not on the bus, and some of them were just our children. In other words, the spearhead was not aimed at my father at all, but at me and Conan, who lived in the Maori office.

Or maybe they've set their sights on Shiho, who lives at the doctor's house.

Oddly enough, it's been a while since the disappearance was recorded, and neither the organization nor the FBI seems to have taken action, no, maybe they did, but I don't know.

Think about it, if the investigator is Belmode, then it is indeed possible to hide the matter with her personality, but can Belmode really carry it down with one shoulder if she finds such a big thing as a traitor? Belmode seems to have something else in mind.

On the other hand, if it was the FBI who stole the records, then the door of the office would have been full of FBI people by now, and as far as I know, there are only two FBIs exposed to me now, Judy Sterin and Shuichi Akai. It's just that the appearance of the two of them is not enough to fight against the organization single-handedly. And if they found out that Xiao Ai's true identity was Zhibao, then they should have found someone to contact Zhibao a long time ago.

"No, I always think it's complicated. "Sitting in the driver's seat, I rubbed my temples, which were a little swollen.

"Whoever took the records on both sides, but why did they send them back so quickly?" I asked myself.

"Declare that you know everything about us?Or do you want to lure the snake out of the hole?Wait, lead the snake out of the hole?Who to lure?Conan? Me?"

Squeak...

Thinking of this, I immediately stepped on the brakes and concentrated on thinking.

The rise of Mori Kogoro came after Kudo Shinichi disappeared, and I did a very good job of sealing Kudo's news, so theoretically it is impossible to find Kudo's problem. Then there is a second possibility. It's just that the person who stole the record wasn't targeting me or Conan and Xiao Ai, and from that point of view, we are not qualified to be suspected.

But if you think about it from this perspective, the chances of the FBI stealing the records are much smaller, because they have no reason

On the other hand, Belmode is quite likely, because... She had seen what Shiho looked like when he was a child.

"But, no. If this were the case, Shiho would have been exposed a long time ago. I leaned back in my chair and thought to myself, frowning.

If Belmode had found Shiho, then Belmode would have gone and taken people away a long time ago at the doctor's doorstep, or even at the school gate. Even if she doesn't hand over Shiho to the boss, there is still someone by her side who has always wanted to ask Shiho to collect debts.

Ling, if Belmode can be convinced that Xiao Ai is Shibao now, then handing over the smaller Shibao to Ling to deal with, you can maximize Ling's gold medal by her side, and it is a must for Belmode.

So this may not be the right idea.

Soon I denied one idea after another, but my head was still spinning rapidly.

"Maybe there's a third possibility? Are they leading each other?"

———— the taste of the orchid, the taste of lavender, the taste of the home & the wings of the angel, the wings of the devil, the wings of the guardian————

"I'm back!" about half an hour later, I returned home.

"Ah, welcome back Kaoru-chan. Xiaolan's voice sounded in my ears with tenderness, which really reassured me a lot.

Walking to the kitchen, I saw Xiaolan who was still busy with dinner, and after standing behind her and taking a closer look, I was sure that it was really Xiaolan herself and not some master of disguise, so far, the last stone in my heart has fallen to the ground.

"Eh, what about Conan?" asked Lan, who was still holding a knife, turning back to me.

"He's still helping the uncle find a watch, and I'm bored and I'll come back first. "I put my hands behind my head and poked my head out of the kitchen to look around the living room.

"Where's my uncle?"

"Dad, he won the prize in the racehorse he bought, and he was going to show off to the neighbors. "My father suddenly earned a windfall, of course Xiaolan herself is also very happy, after all, the family of four eats, and the finances occasionally run a deficit because of their father's drinking, although the child's "mother" Jingliu has given a large amount of child support, but Xiaolan has always kept the money in the bank well, and has never used it, but the interest can still be taken out as pocket money.

"Well, uncle, how long has he been out?"

"About half an hour, right?" Xiao Lan tilted her head and thought about the time. "By the way, my dad said before he went out that he wanted me to buy steak, and it was so bad I almost forgot. ”

"Ah, it's okay, Sister Xiaolan, you can cook at home, I'll just buy it." ”

"But... Is that really possible? It's getting dark. Xiaolan's face was full of worry.

"It's okay, it's okay~" I waved my hand and ran out of the kitchen. "Sister Xiaolan, just concentrate on cooking~ I'll be back soon. With that, I ran to the living room and closed the curtains of the living room. and quietly installed a bugging transmitter under the sofa. Then he ran out of the room.

"This kid. . . What are you doing with the curtains when you have nothing to do?" Hearing the movement in the living room, Xiaolan also poked out from the kitchen. "No matter, cook and cook~"

Running out of the door, I first went back to the living room on the third floor, installed a bugging device behind the cabinet in my father's and Xiaolan's room, and then ran downstairs and put one under the carpet at the door. After looking around and making sure that there were no suspicious people, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked in the direction of the market, while taking out the phone and dialing it.

"Mr. Minya?"

On the other end of the phone, Ning Xue, who hadn't been in touch for a long time, picked up the phone.

"Hmm. Ah Xue, are you busy?"

"Nothing at the moment. Ning Xue felt my tone and couldn't help but make her voice serious. You say. ”

"Rent an apartment across the street from the Māori office and help me monitor the office 24 hours a day for any suspicious people. "I began to give orders. "During the day, you and Yue'er Shuang'er walk around the door of the office every two hours, remember to disguise. The aim is to observe the people who stop around, if you spot a foreign woman with blond hair, a burly man with black hair and a knitted hat, and a quiet man with tea hair and glasses. Remember to keep an eye out for their movements and keep me abreast of them. If you get the chance, take a picture of them. ”

"Yes. ”

"That's right. . . If you spot a man with long blond hair and a burly man in black with sunglasses, remember to let me know as soon as possible. And also.. Girl with long purple hair. "After thinking about it, I still reported the characteristics of the other three people" If you find that more than two of the above three people appear together, shoot directly, attract fire, and after the bomb clears the scene, flee immediately. ”

"Yes!"

I won't say much about Ling's skills, it is very difficult to snipe Ling or Gin with one shot with Ning Xue's ability, but it is not difficult to attract their attention at the first time, and at a distance of several hundred meters, it is not difficult to escape. As long as I was given a buffer of ten minutes, I could rush back to the office from all corners of Rice Flower City.

After explaining the matter, I went to the supermarket and bought two large pieces of steak, for tonight's dinner, I should also be shocked by myself.

By the time I got home, Conan had already returned home, and because of my support, Conan quickly ended the case, and then ran back regardless of the follow-up of the scene. When he saw me back later, Conan was a sigh of relief.

Dinner ended happily with a delicious steak and Dad's "Come on, Miss Yoko!". Conan and I went back to our bedrooms, and we both collapsed on the bed as if we had been doing a hard day's work.

"Kaoru, did you find anything again?" After a short break, Conan began to ask me questions.

"Everything was peaceful, and nothing suspicious was found. I lifted the quilt over my head and said listlessly.

"Is that so? Are we being too careful?"

"How can it be too hearty. I scratched my head and said helplessly. "How could it be so coincidental?"

"I think so too. Conan sat up and looked at me. "If it was really the people of the organization who did it, then they would definitely find that the moment when Kogoro Mori became famous was just when Shinichi Kudo disappeared. If they think of it ... ”

"Actually, I don't think it's very likely. I shook my head. "I'm blocking the news that you're still alive, unless there are organized people in your school, but in this case, you should have been exposed a long time ago, so you wouldn't have waited until now. ”

"I really shouldn't say that, but I can't think of any more possibilities. ”

"Then don't think about it. I closed my eyes, but my mind was still spinning.

It's true that I've blocked Kudo Shinichi's information, but if the person who stole the records was Belmode, that's still possible, but the entry point is me, or Shiho instead of Conan. Maybe their evidence is not enough to prove that Xiao Ai is Shiho, after all, the matter of ten years of age and body reduction is not acceptable to ordinary people.

"What makes me wonder why they would send the stolen records back to the police station and throw them away, wouldn't it be better?"

"That's what I thought, but I don't have a clue. ”

"Okay, let's leave that at that. Seeing that I was not thinking about discussing this topic, Conan was silent for a moment, and finally gave up thinking and asked another question instead. "Kaoru, let me ask you one more thing. ”

"Huh?"

"When you were in the organization, did you know a foreign woman?"

“。。。 Huh?"

"This woman is a female star named Chris Winsard. ”
