Chapter 43: The First Confrontation with the Black Organization (5)

At noon, it's a rare lunch break in a busy day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With office workers lounging in cafes or wandering the streets, there's something for everyone to find the peace they crave even though the city is still so bustling.

It's just that today, many people have noticed a strange phenomenon, a certain section of the road, a little boy is driving his skateboard and speeding through the street.

The skateboard exploded like a jet of nitrogen, causing a sonic boom in the air that overtook many moving cars.

It seems that this is not the first time I have seen it, but this little ghost and this amazing skateboard have been appearing all over Tokyo since the beginning of this year, and have caused a wave of craze on the Internet. But to the disappointment of skateboarders, they simply don't know where to buy this skateboard, and even there are no new products of this kind abroad.

Could it be that this imp is an alien?

……

Conan, the alien, is controlling his speed with all his might, and is speeding towards Masami Hirota's house.

It was the first time he felt so lost and anxious.

In fact, yesterday he noticed that something was wrong with the gentle girl: she was not at the scene at the time of the crime, and the robbers who were later found also had faint traces of lipstick on their masks, coupled with her faint expression of panic, made Conan almost believe that she was one of the robbers.

It's just that, judging by the information I learned from my uncle this morning, everything has become a mystery again.

The escort, who was suspected by the police, was confirmed missing this morning; In another residence, the body of a suspected robber was also found, and the route map of the cash truck and a woman's lipstick were also found.

It was determined that the lipstick had the same marks as the robber's mask, and that its owner was none other than Masami Hirota, who had been working at the bank for a short time.

The police believe that it may be that Masami Hirota killed her companion for fear of revealing the matter, but accidentally left lipstick at the scene.

Conan was dismissive of such an inference: if Masami Hirota could devise such a perfect robbery plan, how could he be so careless? And the missing guard, the most likely has been wiped out, but why can't the body be found?

It's just that now Masami Hirota is missing and can't get clues from herself. Conan can only pretend to be Mori Kogoro and ask Twilight 13 for her address, ready to go and investigate it himself.

"Damn... If only I could hurry up..."

Dr. Asasa's new skateboard had helped him solve many incidents, but for the first time he realized that such speed was not enough. The boy vaguely felt that if he couldn't find Masami Hirota's whereabouts in time, it would become the regret of his life.

Just like that helpless night, the sound of the piano echoed leisurely, and the last mournful song was played in the moonlight...

……

――――――

In an unknown apartment building, Hitomi Maori is slowly walking in the stairwell.

His face was covered with fine sweat, because the pain was so intense that he could barely bear it. Even so, he did not choose the elevator, but climbed up step by step with difficulty.

"Whew... This guy actually lives so high. And what an unlucky number..."

Grumbling softly, Hitomi rubbed her head and looked at the sign in the hallway, which read "13".

Carefully dodging the overhead surveillance, he dodged into the apartment building and knocked on the door of a house.

It was only after a half-ring that the door was gently opened, and inside the crack was a blurry face with a cautious look.

"It's meβ€”" Hitomi Maori greeted weakly, and then was dragged inside.

There were no lights on in the room, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the owner stood quietly in front of the Maori Hitomi like an eerie ghost.

He fumbled in the shadows for a while, then placed an item that resembled a garment in Hitomi's hand: "What you want is ready, but something seems wrong with your current state?" ”

His voice was hoarse, like a viper waiting for an opportunity.

Hitomi Maori took the item, put it in his hand and rubbed it slowly, and then said with some amusement: "Why are you so gloomy, it gives me goosebumps." ”

The vague figure paused slightly, and there seemed to be a hideous smile on his face, and he said helplessly after half a sound: "I have a cold..."

"Ha~ It seems that the climate in Hawaii is really good, and I want to consider going to the matter when the matter is solved... Hitomi Maori's smile was interrupted by pain, and a nerve made him tremble.

The vague figure asked with some uncertainty, "I don't think you're really right, this will affect your mission, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay... It's just a bit of a migraine..."Hitomi Maori shook her head, weighed the object in her hand again, and said, "Then I'll go first, and you've arranged everything else?" ”

"Well... They all did as you said, but it's a pity that Shuichi Akai and they couldn't catch up..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm enough for one person, you can rest assured~"

Hitomi Maori didn't wait for him to finish, turned around and walked out of the door, and then looked back and smiled when he stepped out of the threshold: "I heard that you did a good job there, don't reveal your identity!" ”

"Hey..."The vague figure nodded a little depressedly, and then reacted and hurriedly said, "By the way, you have to be careful..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door was closed by Maori Hitomi, and the footsteps became farther and farther away.

Scratching his head helplessly, he lit a cigarette in the darkness, the smoke swirling in the air, blurring his countenance even more.

"Watch out for that crazy woman..."

The voice was small, but it was the deepest and most helpless sigh.

……

――――――

Conan cautiously closed the door and slipped into Masami Hirota's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt that something was wrong.

There was only one pair of women's leather shoes that she wore at work, and there were not even slippers on the doorway. And on the coffee table and sofa in the living room, there is not the slightest trace of residence.

There are no magazines that young girls like, no designer bags, no fashionable clothes, all the furniture is just placed in its rightful place, although simple, but there is no "home" feeling.

"It seems that Miss Masami Hirota doesn't think this is her home at all..."

Conan looked around with a frown, his instinct telling him that there should be a secret here that had not been discovered by the police, but that meant that it would be difficult for him to find it.

"If there are no more clues, then Miss Masami will be in danger... Kindness? It's..."

Conan's eyes glanced at the corner of the bookcase, where half of the socket board was exposed.

There was no lamp on the bookcase, and there was no laptop, and the socket board was clearly useless and half obscured by the bookcase, apparently intentional by the owner.

He stepped forward and pushed the bookcase open vigorously, knocking his hand on the surface of the socket board, and there was a hollow echo from inside.

Conan was overjoyed by this discovery, and he quickly opened the socket, and with a "click", a bunch of keys fell out of the space inside.

It has the word "26" on it.

"It's... The key to the safe..."

Since Masami Hirota is one of the robbers, it is very likely that this set of keys will be related to the whereabouts of the 1 billion yen.

Conan picks up the key, but his heart begins to make trouble: it is useless to find the key, he doesn't know where the safe is, and Masami Hirota has also lost his trace...

Just as he was frowning and thinking, a woman's chuckle came from behind him: "Yes, great detective, you are really as smart as the legend..."

Her voice was gentle and spiritual, but with a hint of an impure Japanese accent.

"Sister Masami? Wrong! Conan was startled, and was about to turn around when he felt a blow to the neck.

In his last consciousness, the woman let out a silver bell-like laugh: "After practicing this strength for a long time, you won't be bad anymore~"

Conan's eyes went dark, and he finally slowly fell to the floor, with only one last thought left in his heart:

"Who is she...?"
