"Now there are eight players going hand in hand, it's about the same, but we all know that the next thing is the big thing!"

"Okay, as the game is more than halfway through, the gap between the players is gradually widening!"

Eight o'clock in the morning. Māori Detective Agency.

A mess of materials and beer was piled up on the desk, and the TV was playing a horse racing show that Maori usually liked to watch. It was supposed to be a leisurely day off, but Mori didn't lie on a chair with his legs crossed and enjoy life as he used to.

There is no other reason, because he took a job yesterday, and the person who works for that job is calling him at the moment.

"Ha, yes, it's already a bit eyebrow-raising......"

"Well, give me some more time, I'm sure I can ......"

"Okay, I'll let you know as soon as there's news!"

When Maori made a decisive call, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, he really couldn't handle crying girls.

"Did Miss Masami call?" Xiaolan, who was cleaning up the office, couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, she's really anxious, obviously I just went out to look for an afternoon yesterday, and I called today......"

Maori couldn't help but scratch his hair, which had been rubbed a little messy because of irritability, and sighed helplessly.

"After all, this is her only relative, why would she be in a hurry?"

seems to remember the scene of tears in the office yesterday, and the kind Xiaolan can't help but feel a little worried.

"Well, but according to the information investigated yesterday at the taxi company, her father seems to be a very difficult person to deal with, and he basically doesn't talk about himself with his colleagues, so they don't know exactly why he suddenly quit and where he went. ”

Looking at the stack of materials and notes piled up on the desktop, Maori couldn't help but frown a little distressedly.

[Alas, it's really more troublesome to find someone than to solve the case......]

Conan, who was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper boringly, couldn't help but shake his head, and then turned his gaze to the TV on the side.

"Okay, now the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and the Haokuai Emperor has opened the opponent with a clear gap, far ahead!"

"Huh?" A sentence suddenly came from the TV, making Conan can't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

I always feel like I've heard it somewhere...... Hey, did Miss Masami say something similar yesterday?

"The one in the photo is just my dad's cat, called Kuai. Others, there are, the three cats of the emperor, the hero, and the king!"

Fast...... Emperor...... Heroic...... King...... Rearrange it, isn't it the Emperor Haokuai?

Thinking so, Conan couldn't help but jump onto his chair, picked up a pen and removed these kana on the paper, and then compared the Chinese characters on the horse racing show on TV, and couldn't help but grin and let out a smirk.

After all, just said that there was no clue, and suddenly a god assisted, how could there be such a coincidence......

After writing these words, even Conan himself put down his pen in disbelief.

"En?" At this time, Xiaolan on the side suddenly saw the line of pseudonym written by Conan, and then compared it with the subtitles that appeared on TV, and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, that's right, it must be like this!"

"Huh?" Maori on the side couldn't help but turn his head and looked at his daughter who was suddenly excited suspiciously.

"Mr. Hirota must be very fond of betting on horses, so he named his cat after the horse!" Saying this, Xiaolan couldn't help but happily take the piece of paper and ran in front of Maori, "Na, Dad, if you go to the racetrack, you will definitely find him!"

"Hmph, how can it be so easy?" both Maori and Conan couldn't help but sneer.

"Huh?" Xiaolan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, then squeezed her fist and made a clicking sound.

"Eun, you're right, let's go, let's go to the racetrack now!"

=======================================================================

When Takaya opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar ceiling of his house again.

What is this? Collapsed in the dungeon and teleported back to the spawn point?

Okay, don't talk nonsense, but I always feel that the number of times like this has been a bit too much lately?

"Are you awake? I just wanted to come up and see you. ”

When Takaya got out of bed and opened the door to go out, he bumped into a man head-on.

"I've seen you a lot lately," Takiya couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, "Chengshi......"

"What, don't you want to see me so much?" Hearing his words, the man couldn't help puffing out his mouth and gave him an angry look.

That's right, the person who came was none other than the family doctor who was abducted by him from Moonshadow Island, Narumi Asai.

However, the dissatisfaction on her face only lasted for a second, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"To be honest, I also wish the next time we met at a candlelit dinner party, in front of a well-dressed gentleman, rather than in front of an unconscious, bruised leotard monster every time......

After laughing for a while, Cheng Shi finally shook his head with a wry smile, and glanced at him with a slight disgust.

"I remember telling you when I was still on Moonshadow Island that if you wanted to be my family doctor, you would have to get used to it......" Takaya shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless, "Besides, I wasn't hurt this time." ”

"Yes, you are not injured, but you have been hit by an anesthetic that can fall even if an elephant drinks it!" Speaking of this, Cheng Shi couldn't help but glared at him even more angrily, and said in a weird manner, "How is it, are the little girl's lips sweet?"

Well, it seems that Uncle De told her all the things he saw on the main computer monitor yesterday yesterday......

"Ahem......" Hearing Chengshi's words, Yingya couldn't help coughing twice, "What, the little girl now is really dangerous, not only going out with a knife and a gun, but also smearing poison on her mouth, it's really ...... Hey, why do you look at me like that, I'm forced too, okay?"

"Okay, don't be poor with you, it's good if you wake up, Uncle De said that if you wake up, let me tell you, the person you are looking for has been found. ”

Looking at Eagle Ya's embarrassed and helpless expression, Chengshi also put away his pretentious angry gesture and said seriously.

"Yes? I see. Takaya nodded, "Thank you." ”

"Say, that's what I'm supposed to do. I'll go back to work first, and it just so happens that my school sister Jicun is coming over today. ”

Saying this, Chengshi couldn't help but wave his hand at the eagle arrow, and then turned to leave.

It's good to have a family doctor, at least, Uncle De's workload has been reduced a lot......

Looking at Chengshi's departing figure, Takaya smiled slightly, then walked to the bookshelf in the study and pulled out a book named "Zorro".

"Brush!" Suddenly, with a sound of a machine, the bookshelves cracked open to both sides, revealing the secret elevator behind them.

"Oh, young master, I'm glad you've finally woken up from the sleeping prince......"

When Hawk Arrow came to the Eagle's Nest through the elevator, Uncle De was sorting out the information for Hawk Arrow in front of the main computer.

"Someone found?" Takaya didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Well, it seems that Mr. Hirota is really a person who likes to bet on horses...... After the robbery, Mr. Hirota changed his address, so the exact place of residence was not determined at once, but in the past few months, the Hawkeye system has been able to capture him in the camera at the entrance and exit of the racecourse almost every week! Of course, even yesterday. ”

Saying this, Uncle De couldn't help but enlarge the photo displayed on the computer and display it in front of Eagle Ya's eyes.

"Racecourse ......" looked at Kenzo Hirota, who was holding a numbered ticket in the photo, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, "The heart is really big enough, after robbing the bank, dare to appear in such a public place so blatantly......"

"Young master, you probably don't know much about those who love to gamble on horses, as long as the horse farm is still running, let alone windy and rainy, even if it is iron in the sky, they can go to the ...... rain or shine" Uncle De shrugged his shoulders, revealing a look of course.

"Looks like it's necessary to go to the racetrack today to investigate......" Taka frowned slightly, and then suddenly remembered something more important, "By the way, Uncle De, how about the cameras around the warehouse area in the 3-chome area that I asked you to monitor for me last night?

Taka didn't forget everything because of that kiss, especially the goal that kept him waiting for five years.

"Well, try it, there is very bad news......" Speaking of this, Uncle De couldn't help but push his glasses, revealing a very helpless look, "The power in that area went out shortly after you left, young master. Of course, all the Hawkeye cameras, too, lost power and fell into darkness. So, there is no way for the old decay to know what is happening. ”

"Power outage?such a coincidence?" Hearing Uncle De's words, Ying Ya couldn't help frowning deeply, "And for such a large-scale power outage, it is impossible for the power system not to issue a notice, what is the specific reason?"

According to the explanation given by the power company afterwards, it was because the capacitance of the transfer station was overloaded and the line burned out. However, the old decay felt a little strange. Uncle De replied very fluently, it seems that he has also done some research beforehand.

"Yes, it's not the peak time for electricity consumption, and the voltage in the warehouse area has always been stable, and it doesn't change much. ”

Takaya couldn't help but hold his chin and fell into deep thought. If it's really accidental, that's fine, but if not......

He now has a very bad guess, because if this power outage is man-made, what is his purpose? It is very likely that his whereabouts have been exposed, and the cautious crows have not known where they have found their tracks, and they may have discovered that they have the ability to monitor through cameras. Therefore, in order not to reveal his whereabouts, he deliberately turned off the electricity in the entire area.

This speculation can lead to two conclusions, first, that warehouse area is indeed strange, although the specific situation is not yet clear, but there must be something hidden in that area, something related to the black-clothed organization. Second, it is likely that he has exposed himself to this rash action, and there must be something like surveillance cameras in that area, and if he rushes to it again, it is very likely that he will be in danger. Thinking of this, Eagle Ya's previous enthusiasm and anger because of the appearance of the black-clothed organization couldn't help but gradually subside, and his reason slowly returned to his brain.

The black-clothed organization is definitely not something that can be prying into a day or two, and it is better not to act rashly before you are completely sure, so as not to startle the snake. Anyway, I've been waiting for so many years, so I can't wait a little longer......

"Young Master, what makes you care so much, what is in that area?" Uncle De couldn't help but say in confusion. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen Eagle Ya so preoccupied, and he was really a little relieved.

"It's nothing," ...... Hawk shook his head slightly, and said no more.

Since they have caused such a large-scale power outage, most of them have already taken advantage of this to leave. And once you leave, it is estimated that you will not come back for a while. Therefore, Eagle Ya also felt that there was no need to tell Uncle De again, lest he be blind again.

"Yes......" Uncle De glanced at him fixedly, and saw that he didn't seem to want to say something, so he didn't force it anymore.

"Uncle De, upload these photos and materials to my PDA, I'm going to the racetrack. ”

With that, Takaya couldn't help but pick up his PDA from the table, grabbed the coat hanging on the hanger and walked outside.

"Are you going to squat?" I don't think it's a good idea...... "Uncle De said as he looked at the eagle who was about to go out.

"It's not just about going to a brainless squat, as a regular customer of the horse farm, Kenzo Hirota will definitely have a horse that he pays attention to. A look at the records of the tickets purchased with his social security code reveals that he is most concerned about the race of the horse. Well, when it is the turn of these horses to run, he will definitely be on the scene. That's what you said, the horse bettors get off the iron rain or shine......"

"I see, it seems that young master, you have already thought of a countermeasure, but it seems to be too troublesome. After listening to Eagle Ya's explanation, the old butler couldn't help but react, "Ah, by the way, young master, before you go out, there is one more thing I want to tell you." ”

"What else?" Taka couldn't help but look back, confused.

"To be precise, Miss Junhui wants to convey to you, Miss Xia Fan asked you to meet at the Star Wish Cafe at seven o'clock last night. ”

"Huh, did I hear me right, seven o'clock last night? Isn't it seven o'clock tonight?"

Eagle Ya looked at Uncle De with a confused expression, and after seeing the other party's confirmed nod, he was even more confused.

"What the hell, what the hell are you telling me about last night's promise today?"

"Young master, you gave the old man the time to convey it, yesterday when the old man picked up Miss Junhui back here, you were already out in uniform!" Uncle De shrugged his shoulders innocently, "Besides, when the old man drove you back later, it was already that kind of situation, even if it was said to you, you couldn't hear it." Plus, time has long passed......"

"I'm really ......" Eagle Ya really has an MMP at the moment, and I don't know whether to say it or not.

Thinking so, he couldn't help but take out the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, open the flip cover, and sure enough, he saw the shocking red color - as many as a dozen missed calls, and a series of text messages...... Before he could open it to inspect, the strong resentment made the eagle arrow cold from head to toe.

"Young Master, what are you going to do over there, Miss Xia Fan?" Looking at the cold sweat that exploded on Eagle Ya's forehead, Uncle De couldn't help but make up for it.

"Alas......" Eagle Ya stared at the phone screen for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.

He once again broke his agreement with Xia Fan, and when Xia Fan wanted to find him, he didn't show up to her.

This time, there really wasn't any excuse for him to find it again...... Hmm, my head hurts......

"Forget it, it will take a lot of time to explain to her, let's talk about it next time, it's more important to find Kenzo Hirota at the moment. After all, this is the only clue left at the moment, and he can't be broken again......"

After thinking about it for a long time, Eagle Arrow still couldn't press the callback button, but slowly closed the screen of the phone.

On the contrary, Heng and Zhu are already dying, so it is better to get the matter in front of her first, and then slowly make amends to her...... When the time comes, whether it is a washboard or a remote control, whatever she chooses, her manly husband, just kneel down on one knee......

Thinking so, Eagle Ya no longer hesitated, put the phone back in his pocket, and then turned and walked out.

======================================================================

"Where's the money?" said a voice on the other end of the phone, full of chilling malice.

"The money is mine, but what about the terms you promised me? Where is my sister?"

The bespectacled woman unbuttoned her disguised braids and spoke to the other end of the phone in an equally cold voice.

"When you get the money, you'll be able to see her. ”

"Hmph, I hope you guys are talking!"

Saying this, the woman couldn't help but hang up the phone, and then let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

"Shiho...... My sister will definitely save you!"

The woman lying on the bed couldn't help but mutter.
