Saturday, April 20th, afternoon, Tokyo Metropolitan Racecourse.

Out of the Maori Detective Agency, Lan directly hailed a taxi and came here, where the heroic imperial horse was.

"There are so many people, and this is the first time I've been to the racecourse. Walking out of the aisle and standing on the platform, Lan smiled, "You have to find Miss Yami's father quickly." ”

Dejectedly, he walked behind Lan and stood still, recalling what he had just heard, the news broadcast in the racecourse, that the Haokui Imperial Horse had won, and recalled that he had worked hard and spent a week doing his homework, but in the end he didn't have time to bet, and Maori felt that his nose was a little sour.

Standing on Ran's right-hand side, looking at the seats that were almost full, Conan thought to himself, how can there be a truth that can be found so easily, it is really too underestimating the work of a detective.

"There are so many people, how can you find this?" Standing on Ran's left, Yamazaki said helplessly, "Otherwise...... Uh......" Speaking of this, he casually looked to the left, and suddenly stood out from his seat, took the horse ticket and the horse newspaper, walked to the front of the platform, and looked down at a middle-aged man, Yamazaki really didn't know what to say.

Hearing the strangeness in Yamazaki's words, he followed Yamazaki's gaze and immediately found the middle-aged man, and he was the Mr. Kenzo Hirota in the photo, that is, the father of Miss Masami they were looking for, so Ran exclaimed in surprise: "Found it." Then he turned back to the three Maori and said, "I'll just say I can find it, I'm also a detective." ”

Yamazaki muttered quietly, "What does this have to do with whether or not you are a detective?" "I thought, this luck, it's really ......

Coming back to his senses, Mori asked, "What?" and then looked at Mr. Hirota and exclaimed in surprise, "No, no." ”

"W-How is this possible?" Conan asked in surprise as he took two steps forward and looked at Mr. Hirota.

"I'm going to call him. Lan said happily, thinking about it as he spoke.

"Wait a minute," he explained, grabbing Ran's arm, "the other party is a missing person, and it will be a problem to let him escape if he is alarmed." ”

Looking at Mr. Hirota, who threw the horse ticket and turned to leave, Lan said, "But ......"

"We'll just follow him. Yamazaki laughed.

Maori laughed, "To find where he lives." ”……

The four Maori followed the unsuspecting Mr. Hirota all the way to his apartment, a small two-story building on the side of the road with a yard, and determined where he was staying, and Lan immediately called Miss Masami.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mr. Hirota came out of the room again, down the stairs to the right of the building, and then out of the courtyard and left. So the four of them separated, and Ran and Yamazaki stayed where they were, waiting for Miss Masami. Maori followed Conan with him, and Conan was taken with him because it was more natural to see it this way.

After another quarter of an hour or so, Mr. Hirota returned with a few plastic bags of things, apparently to buy materials for dinner. At this time, Miss Masami also came to the place agreed with Lan. Getting out of the taxi, Miss Masami immediately saw Mr. Hirota who was about to climb the stairs home, and then rushed over before she had time to say anything to Lando.

When Mr. Hirota saw Miss Masami, he was immediately taken aback, and in a state of distraction, the bag in his hand fell to the ground.

At this time, Miss Masami burst into tears, laughing and crying, "Dad, I have always been looking for you." As he spoke, he threw himself into Mr. Hirota's arms and began to cry.

Seeing this, Lan smiled with emotion: "It's really good." ”

"Don't you think that sister is different from yesterday?" Conan said, "The dress is much more mature, and she seems to have makeup." ”

"That's because I've been separated from my dad for too long," Lan smiled, "and when we meet again, of course we have to dress up." ”

"Maybe it's because she's afraid her father will be worried," Yamazaki laughs, "and it looks a lot more energetic." "But I was thinking in my heart, this Mr. Kenzo Hirota's expression was very interesting, and I was surprised, but I really didn't see it. Could there be something wrong with this?

At this moment, Miss Masami hugged Mr. Hirota's arm tightly, then faced Ran, Mori, Conan, and Yamazaki, smiled sweetly, and then, together with her father, Mr. Hirota, bowed ninety degrees, bowed to the four of them, and then picked up the things on the ground and went upstairs.

Seeing that their father and daughter had gone home, Yamazaki thought to himself, forget it, other people's family affairs......

"Daddy," Lan smiled, holding Maori's arm, "that's great." ”

"As long as I'm Mori Kogoro, this kind of case is just a trivial matter. Maori laughed, but he was thinking in his heart, this, I forgot to sign the contract yesterday, and now this matter is done so quickly, I don't know, Miss Masami, whether she sent the commission fee, in case she forgets, the loss will be even more.

"Alright," Yamazaki said with a smile, "their father and daughter have gone back to dinner, so let's go back too." ”

"Huh?" Conan had just walked a few steps when he spotted a tall man, wearing a long yellow trench coat with a vertical collar and sunglasses, standing behind a telephone pole.

"Who's that guy?" asked Maori casually.

The man saw that the Maori four were looking at him, and immediately pulled the vertical collar and turned away.

"Maybe you're passing through. Yamazaki said, but he thought to himself, isn't this the same work clothes that Uncle Maori often wears? Who is this staring at, can't it be Mr. Hirota? However, if he is really staring at Mr. Hirota, it means that there are other people looking for him, then this matter is a little bit interesting. Well...... There will be nothing going on at this time, okay, come back at night and take a look, thinking of this, Yamazaki looked back at Mr. Hirota's apartment, whether it is dead or alive depends on your own luck. ……

After returning home, Yamazaki told Miyakoko Miyamoto about it, and Miyamoto Miko asked him to watch it herself.

At night, Conan and the four of them had a supper, packed up their things and went back.

Seeing that they were gone, Yamazaki said, "Mom, I'll go and have a look." ”

Mei Daizi, who had just eaten something, said, "Brother, I'm going too." ”

So, the two went together. The two of them were in a taxi, and they had just approached the small building where Mr. Hirota's apartment was located, and before the car had even arrived, a black car drove away from the side of the road.

Looking at the taillights in the distance ahead, Mei Daizi asked, "Brother, it won't be so coincidental, right?"

"Anyway, you can't go wrong with calling an ambulance first," Yamazaki said. He said that he didn't wait for the car to stop and went down.

Yamazaki rushed to the second floor where Mr. Hirota lived, and rushed into Mr. Hirota's apartment with the door unlocked amid the sound of a cat meowing that kept getting clearer.

Turning on the light and looking at Mr. Hirota lying in the room, Yamazaki squatted down to check.

At this time, Mei Daiko walked in and asked, "Brother, how is it, is he dead?"

"Not dead," Yamazaki replied with a smile as he stood up, "but if we don't come, he'll surely die." ”

"What an unlucky guy to have this happen just after meeting my daughter. Looking around the room, Mei Daiko asked again, "What about his daughter? Didn't you say that her daughter was looking for him? Could it be that his daughter was trying to kill him?"

"I don't know," Yamazaki smiled as he walked to the door, "but the door is not broken, it must be someone he knows, and it is difficult to determine whether it is his daughter or not." ”

Looking at the bloody iron pipe on the ground, as well as Mr. Hirota's position, Mei Daiko said, "This is the one who came in, and when he turned around, he suddenly burst out, took the iron pipe hidden in the sleeve of his clothes, or behind him, and directly attacked him on the head. ”

"Yes," said Yamazaki, "with a lot of power, a blow that knocked him to the ground." ”

"And what about his daughter?" asked Midaiko again, "Was it in that car just now?"

"How do I know that?" said Yamazaki with a wry smile.

"By the way," said Maidiko, "I'm going to call my mom and we're going to take a confession." ”

"Forget it," Yamazaki smiled, "I'll just go alone, you might as well go back to sleep." ”

"Hmm......" After thinking about it, Midako replied, "Okay then. Then he complained, "It's boring, I thought I could beat the bad guys." ”……

A few minutes later, an ambulance came to pick Mr. Hirota away, and about half an hour later, the Twilight Police Department arrived.

"At this time," the Dusk Police Department asked, "why are you in this place?"

"Oh, it's Uncle Maori in the afternoon and noticed that someone was watching here," Yamazaki explained, "so let me take a look, he was like this when I came." ”

"Afternoon?" asked the Dusk Police Department, "what are you doing here?"

Uncle Maori took the commission. As he spoke, Yamazaki told the Twilight Police Department what had happened.

The Twilight Police Department asked, "So, what about this Hirota-sama's daughter?"

"I didn't see it," Yamazaki said, "but when I came, a car that was supposed to be black left, and I didn't see the license plate or anything." ”

"By the way, what about Maori?" asked the Dusk Police Department again, "what is he doing now?"

"Well, I guess I'm sleeping," Yamazaki said, "it's so late after all." ”

Looking at his watch, the Twilight Police Department said, "Okay, you can go back too, and call Maori to come with you tomorrow." ”

"Oh, thank you so much. Yamazaki smiled, "Then I'll go back." ”……
