Sunday, April 21, morning.

Yamazaki arrived home early this morning, slept until dawn, ate some bread and went to Maori's house, knocking on the door of Maori's house.

Yawning, Lan Kaimen asked, "Yamazaki, what's the matter this early in the morning?"

"Something happened to Miss Masami. Yamazaki said directly, "His father was attacked last night, and she also disappeared. ”

"What?" Lan was taken aback, and immediately fell asleep. The same goes for Conan, who was yawning at the door of the living room, and he immediately went back to his room to wake up Maori.

While the three of them were washing, they listened to Yamazaki recount the events of the previous night. Then, seeing that it was still early, Ran decided to go to Mr. Hirota's apartment first, and the three Maori accompanied her.

When I arrived at Mr. Hirota's apartment, in the courtyard, an old woman who was moving her body saw the four Maori and said, "Have you come to Mr. Hirota again? No, he's in the hospital now." He was attacked by robbers in his room last night, and he was so scary. ”

"Mother-in-law," Lan asked, "what about Mr. Hirota's daughter?"

"Daughter?" asked the old woman rhetorically.

"In order to find Mr. Hirota, who ran away from home, a girl who came to Tokyo. Maori explained, "It's the ...... from yesterday."

"What? is his daughter?" said the old woman, "and there is indeed an inside story here." I've always thought it was weird that when he moved in, I didn't ask him anything. In addition, I paid a year's rent directly in advance, and all the money I paid was brand new. I see, he must have made a large sum of money, hiding from someone, and even his daughter didn't dare to tell him. Now the man came with his daughter and snatched the money, and his daughter may have been killed. ”

Maori lost his voice and said, "You said that kid ......"

"I heard from Mr. Detective that something was found," the old woman explained, "and I suspect that the girl has been taken away. ”

"What?" Lan cried out, his face immediately becoming very ugly, looking very lost and very sad.

"Lan," Maori said immediately, "let's go to the Metropolitan Police Department again." ”

"Mother-in-law," Yamazaki asked, walking back a short distance away, "Are those brand-new bills serial?"

"Ah, no," said the old woman with regret, "I see that the brand-new stack of 10,000 yuan bills was supposed to be put away, but unfortunately none of them were serialized. ”

"Really?" Yamazaki said, "Thank you." ”……

Kazuyamazaki came out of the Metropolitan Police Department and whispered to Ran, Mori, who was sitting on the front steps, "I found the glasses that Miss Masami was wearing." ”

Hearing this, Lan immediately cried, and Maori hurriedly comforted: "Okay, don't be so sad. ”

"But, Miss Masami, it's possible that she was killed, isn't it?" Ran, wiping her tears, said sadly, "It's too much to finally meet Daddy." ”

"No, not necessarily she's been killed. Maori continued to comfort, "You can't die so quickly. "But he didn't believe it himself, this kind of thing happened, and the Twilight Police Department just said that until now, I haven't received any news about where Miss Masami appeared in the police station, and she's afraid ......

Seeing Lan so sad, Conan wanted to help, but what should he do? Conan thought to himself, if only there were any clues. By the way, at that time, I put the transmitter ...... Thinking of this, Conan rushed out.

Maori immediately shouted, "Little ghost, where are you going?"

Seeing that Conan pressed his glasses and ran away without looking back, Yamazaki also remembered the transmitter, so he said, "Uncle, you take care of Lan, I'll go and watch him." ”

Take a taxi to follow Conan's taxi, all the way to a pachinko shop, Yamazaki just got off the side of the road, Conan, who was standing in front of the door and hesitated, went in, and then he immediately came out again, and was thrown out.

Looking at Conan, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while, Yamazaki smiled: "Hey, why don't you grow up and go in again." If you let you in like this, people won't be able to do business, and maybe they will close down for rectification in the afternoon. ”

"It's not that exaggerated. Conan got up and said, "The transmitter is in there." ”

"Oh," Yamazaki said, "show me." ”

"It's out of power. Sticking up the tracking antenna on his glasses, Conan said.

"Then let's go back first," said Yamazaki, "there are quite a few people here, and if I go in and play two games, I'll be kicked out." And it's not sure if the watch is still in her own hands, maybe someone snatched it. ”

"Well, let's go back and see how Ran is doing," Conan said, putting away the antenna, "I'll go to Dr. Asa in the afternoon." ”……

Māori Detective Agency.

Seeing that Conan was back, Maori, who was drinking beer, said, "I was in a hurry to go somewhere just now, and I didn't respond to you." ”

"Well," Conan laughed dryly, "I'm in a hurry to get to the bathroom." Then he asked, "What's wrong with Sister Lan?"

The windows of the Maori Detective Office are composed of seven large characters written on each piece, "Mao", "Li", "Detective", "Detective", "Affairs", "Affairs", and "Office", seven pieces of nearly a meter wide and more than a meter long, and the large glass windows are arranged in a row, and Lan is standing by the window looking out on the street at this time.

Looking at his daughter, Maori said helplessly: "It's been like that since I came back." ”

Yamazaki sighed, "It seems that she is really worried about Miss Masami." ”

"That man is so strange," Lan said suddenly, "and he's been watching us here since just now. ”

The Maori trio came to see a tall man standing in the alley across the street. Seeing the long yellow trench coat, Maori immediately said in surprise: "He is the man who was near Mr. Hirota's apartment yesterday, so he is the one who came to find Mr. Hirota." ”

Lan said, "So, it's this guy, he caught Miss Masami." ”

"All right, Lan," said Maori, "I'll go and catch him now, and ask where Miss Masami is." With that, he immediately ran out, and Conan and Yamazaki followed.

At this time, there was a sound of "swish", and the three Maori looked back, Lan opened a window and jumped out directly.

After crossing the sidewalk and standing firm on the side of the street, Lan immediately asked, "Where the hell is Miss Masami, and what did you do with her?"

Hearing Lan's question, the man in the yellow trench coat immediately ran towards a car, and Lan immediately shouted, "Stop!"

However, Lan still took a step slow and let the man in the yellow trench coat get into the car. However, Lan saw that his driver's seat was on the right, on his side, so he turned around and kicked the glass next to the driver's door, kicking the whole glass to pieces, and for a while the glass shards were everywhere. However, when the man in the yellow trench coat saw Lan kick, he gave up driving, and immediately pulled up his clothes and hugged his head, so that he was not hurt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lan immediately dragged the man in the yellow trench coat out of the car, and then said to Maori, who rushed over, "I have already caught him." ”

Maori said, "You're amazing. Then he grabbed the man in the yellow trench coat by the collar and smiled angrily, "The murderer actually came to me in person, what a guts." ”

"Murderer?" the man in the yellow trench coat hurriedly argued, "I'm not a murderer, really not. ”

"And who are you?" asked Maori, "what do you do?"

"I'm the same as you. The man in the yellow trench coat replied.

"Huh?" asked Maori, "what do you mean?"

"Detective," explained the man in the yellow trench coat, "I'm also a detective. ”

"Ahh

At this time, Yamazaki said, "In that case, let's go back and talk about it." ”

Māori Detective Agency.

Sitting on the sofa, the man in the yellow trench coat said, "Because someone asked me to help find Mr. Hirota." As he spoke, he took out a photo and handed it to Maori, then said, "Look, it's this man." ”

Looking at the photo, a tall looking man, placing it on the table, Maori asked, "Since you said you were also a detective, then why did you run away?"

"I'm really a detective. The man in the yellow trench coat said embarrassedly, "But I've been very timid since I was a child, and I saw your daughter suddenly jump out of the room on the second floor to chase me, so I ......."

"By the way," Maori said, "it's all in the room, and what sunglasses are you wearing, you ......."

"No," the man in the yellow trench coat hurriedly said, "These sunglasses are also worn to keep my opponent from looking down on me." ”

"You don't talk nonsense," Maori said angrily, "you can take it down for me." As he spoke, he waved off the man's sunglasses in the yellow trench coat, and then looked into the man's eyes, and he was stunned, and Ran and Conan were also stunned along with Yamazaki. It turned out that this guy had a pair of very cute big eyes, so cute that they grew in the wrong place, so that the whole face of this man looked very cute.

Seeing this, Maori, Conan, and Yamazaki couldn't help but laugh, which made the man in the yellow trench coat immediately feel a big blow and lowered his head.

Seeing this, Lan immediately shouted in the ear of Maori, who was laughing the loudest, "You all give me a little serious, this is at stake in Miss Masami's life." ”

"I—I see. Stopping his laughter and returning his sunglasses, Mori Masasei asked, "So, you were also asked to help find Mr. Kenzo Hirota?"

"Yes. Putting on his sunglasses, the man in the yellow trench coat replied, "It's just that I think his family is a little weird." Then he explained, "Well, the person who came to commission it, the man in the photo, asked me to help him find his brother who left Kyushu to work in Tokyo, because that is his only relative......

"The only relative?" Mori asked in surprise, "Doesn't that mean that Mr. Hirota has no one to rely on other than Miss Masami?"

"And, strangely," said Ran, "the father that Miss Masami is looking for is from Yamagata Prefecture. ”

"It's strange indeed," said Maori, frowning, "that there could be no two Mr. Hirota." ”

"There is another strange thing, which is something I asked about at the taxi company where Mr. Hirota works. The man in the yellow trench coat said, "I heard that Mr. Hirota doesn't pick up customers every day as long as it is evening, but instead of going back to rest, he drives a taxi back and forth on the same route." Moreover, it is a gallop at a fairly fast speed. ”

"Maybe it's just to take the pressure out of work," says Māori, "and it's a common thing for middle-aged people." Then he asked, "By the way, who is the client in this photo?"

"It's Hirota Akira," replied the man in the yellow trench coat, "a very tall man of twenty-eight years old, over one hundred and ninety centimeters tall. ”

"More than a hundred and ninety centimeters?" asked Maori, "by the way, did you tell this tall man where Mr. Hirota lived?"

"Yes," said the man in the yellow trench coat, "I said it yesterday evening." ”

"Evening?" said Maori, "Yamazaki, I guess that's him." ”

"It should be. Yamazaki explained, "The police have compared the wounds on Mr. Hirota's head, and the murderer is about this height. ”

"That means that Mr. Hirota was attacked after that, isn't it?" said the man in the yellow trench coat with emotion, "Sure enough, I think there must be a problem." ”

"Surely," Mori looked at the photo and confirmed, "this is the man who wanted to kill Mr. Hirota, and now he has taken Miss Masami with him." Then he stood up, propped himself up on the tea table between the sofas, leaned over and asked, "Tell me, how did you contact this guy, and where is his contact address?"

"He's all in contact with me. The man in the yellow trench coat hurriedly replied.

Maori asked dejectedly, "So, is there no clue?"

"I'm sorry. The man in the yellow trench coat replied with his head bowed.

Look at the photo of Conan picking up the loose hand of Maori, Yamazaki touching him, meaning have you seen this person?

Conan nodded and made a marble-playing gesture, meaning he had seen him at the pachinko shop. Then he looked at the time and whispered, "There are no clues here, let's go to Dr. Asasa's house." ”

"Ran," said Yamazaki, "Dr. Asa told us to go over in the afternoon, and it's almost time now, and we're going to his house to get something to eat." ”

"Ah, it's almost half-past three. Lan exclaimed, "I forgot, I'm going to cook." So saying, he hurried upstairs.

Touching his stomach, Maori said, "I've been hungry for almost a day, and I finally remember." Then he said, "If you don't mind, just take Lan to apologize for her rudeness." ”

"Then bother. The man in the yellow trench coat bowed and smiled.

Downstairs, Yamazaki went home and got some bread, and Dr. Asa estimated that there would be nothing good to eat at this time except for cup noodles. By the way, I will help Conan take a leave of absence, this matter is estimated to be busy until the evening. ……
