Chapter 34: Reunion Ten Years Later (4)

Originally, it was just a very ordinary street, and there were not even any restaurants. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At night, it becomes uninhabited, with the occasional flash of a few passers-by.

It's just that I don't know when it began, many people who looked like they were either rich or wealthy often came here, and luxury cars on the streets became ubiquitous.

Although it is no longer as peaceful as it used to be, every resident here does not feel wronged, but every time he mentions it, there is still a kind of pride on his face.

It's just because there is a famous detective who is famous all over the country.

He's Mori Kogoro.

Speaking of this magical mustache, the neighbors call him "Miracle Kogoro" behind his back.

It is said that he originally had a happy family, his wife was a beautiful lawyer, he was a rising star in the police industry, and he had a pair of extremely cute twin daughters.

But one year, it seemed like just ten years ago.

The family had an accident while traveling, and when they returned, the elder brother of the twins actually died.

However, their calamity did not end.

A week after the loss of their beloved son, a fire broke out in their home.

Fortunately, it was daytime, the husband and wife were working, and Xiaolan was also going to school, so there were no casualties.

But that fire engulfed everything in their home, including all the memories about the little boy.

Some superstitious elders say that it was the boy's soul that came back, and did not want his parents to be more miserable when they remembered him, so he erased everything he had in this world and went to heaven quietly.

But no one knows the real situation.

During those years, the whole family's expressions were numb, and Maori was even fired from the police department because he was distracted by work.

The little girl who was as pure as an angel, like a girl named Xiaolan, could not see a smile on her face again.

Maori eventually separated from his beautiful wife, but did not officially divorce and opened a detective agency after quitting his job.

But there was little business.

However, just a few months ago, a miracle finally happened.

Kogoro Maori helped the police solve several major cases that caused a sensation across the country, and then became famous in one fell swoop, and was called the "sleeping detective".

Things are always getting better slowly, Maori Lan's face is no longer sad at that time, Maori Kogoro has also started again, playing steel balls leisurely life, and their family even adopted a little ghost with glasses, very smart, but also very naughty.

However, there are also rumours that the misfortune of the Maori family has been transferred, and that other families will be infected with this misfortune in the next ten years.

As for the evidence...

Didn't you see the house called Kudo, the villa has become a haunted house?

It is said that two days ago, someone saw a ghost fire flickering in their house...

……

It's dark at night.

In this street where rumors are rife, there is a house that is still brightly lit and flashing with warm light.

A beautiful and gentle girl is standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the stars in the distance, and sorrow is sprinkled between her eyebrows.

She had just made a phone call to the little boy who was uncomfortable.

It's just that she didn't expect that when she couldn't help but get angry, the person who answered the phone was actually a young man, saying that Conan was recording something on the TV station.

"Really... Conan, how could they have been invited to record a show..."

The clever girl immediately knew that they were lying to herself, and she couldn't help but laugh and cry.

It's just that the man's voice made him inexplicably reassured.

Ben's somewhat impetuous heart was quiet for no reason.

She didn't know why, but the voice was very gentle and magnetic, and it actually reminded her of her brother, who had been missing for many years and had long been officially recognized dead.

Ha~ Did you hallucinate again... How can it be my brother...

However, if he hadn't died, it would have been softer and better than the man's voice...

Brother...

The girl frowned, lost in her own contemplation, and her weak and quiet appearance was the same as ten years ago.

"Wow, Xiaolan~ Dad is going to starve to death!"

The door to the office was twisted open from the outside, and a bearded man walked in with his stomach clutched.

It's just that he originally looked complaining, but after seeing his daughter's lonely expression, his expression softened, and he sighed softly in his heart.

Xiaolan was taken aback, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Because Conan hasn't come back yet, so..."

"What!?" The mustachioed man frowned exaggeratedly, and said with some indignation: "Where did this little ghost go again?" ”

"Ahh It is said that I recorded a program on Nippon Ori TV..."

"Record the show... Daily Sale TV? The mustache was stunned for a moment, and then said with a glint in his eyes: "Is it really a daily TV station?" I'm going to pick up that little ghost right away, it's too unsafe at night! ”

As he spoke, the mustache had already put on his coat again and ran outside.

Xiaolan looked at his rapidly disappearing back with black lines on her face, and said to herself dissatisfiedly: "Really, why are you worried that Conan is not safe, obviously because Miss Yoko is recording a show on the TV station today..."

However, because of this interruption, Xiaolan's mood also soared again, humming an inexplicable song in her mouth, and began to prepare dinner later.

"Well, let's make a roasted shiitake mushroom, Conan likes to eat it the most..."

The song is flying, and the happiness is like this.

――――――

In the lobby of the Japanese Sale TV station, Conan is looking at Hitomi Mori with a frightened face.

"Hang... Hung up...? You said Xiaolan hung up the phone? ”

Mao Li Hitomi shrugged innocently: "Yes, she hung up the phone when she heard me say that you were recording the show, probably guessing that we were lying to her." ”

Conan suddenly jumped to his feet in a hurry: "It's over, it's over, I'll die when I go back..."

"You're so scared of your sister, isn't it terrifying?" Hitomi Mori gave Conan a funny look, and then said, "But her voice is so gentle..."

When Conan heard him say this, he immediately looked at Hitomi Maori vigilantly: "What do you want to do!?" ”

Hitomi Mori glanced at the boy who was suddenly in a hurry inexplicably, ignored him, and walked towards Ayumi and the others.

"Hey, hey, this guy doesn't have certain thoughts about Xiaolan, right?" Conan looked at Maori Hitomi with suspicious eyes next to him, and when he looked from the side, the man's face was showing a perfect arc, and his eyes were shining with a deep and charming brilliance.

"No... This guy is so handsome, he must not let him meet Xiaolan! Absolutely not! ”

……

Mao Li Hitomi didn't know that there was a ** guy next to him who was eating flying vinegar, but he was in a good mood inexplicably.

He walked among the imps, coughed dryly and motioned for them to look, then blinked and said, "I just found a strange thing, I probably don't need to go to someone else's house to investigate." ”

"What?!" Several children looked at the big brother with surprised faces, including Conan, who had been thinking about something.

"Mitsuhiko just said that these symbols represent the names of those politicians, right?"

Mitsuhiko nodded, looking at Hitomi Mori with some suspicion: "Isn't it?" ”

"Yes and no."

Hitomi Mori didn't have time to sell off, so she held up Conan's pager and said, "When I was on the phone just now, I accidentally put up the pager and took a look, and I found something very interesting. ”

"Stand up... Don't!? ”

Conan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and snatched the pager: "Sure enough, it turned out to be like this..."

Ayumi looked anxious next to her: "What the hell is going on, Conan?" ”

Hitomi Maori patted Ayumi on the head, signaling her to be calm, and then in the little girl's shy expression, she slowly spoke: "Miss Asano has sent a few numeric codes one after another, but because she said before that she often plays word games with her friends, you all fall into this fixed thinking of guessing the meaning according to the way you play. ”

"But if you think about it, in such an unsafe environment, how did Ms. Asano have time to think about how those codes should be set? And, what if she is holding her phone in an awkward position? ”

Mitsuhiko and Motota were puzzled: "It's awkward? ”

"Yes, it's awkward!"

Hitomi Maori put her hands behind her back and made a tied pose: "If you are tied up in this position and your mouth is gagged again, even if you call the police, the police will not hear anyone, so it will not work." She could only turn around and use her eyes to dial the number and send it to the young detective team she had just met..."

"So, what she sent us was the simplest graphic code!"

Conan continued excitedly next to him, and glanced at Maori Hitomi after speaking: This guy...

Then he put the pager up and showed it in front of Ayumi and the others: "You see, for example, the number '2003', if you look at it in English, it is moon when you look at it vertically, and this is what the moon means." ”

"What does the moon mean?" The three children were still puzzled.

"I suspect that Sister Asano may be indicating that she can see the moon from her position... And the time she sent the message was the time she saw the moon. Conan smiled and continued, "Of course, we can't confirm Asano-san's location just by seeing the moon. However, she sent a lot of tips... Putting all of these tips together makes a complete forecast table. And here, this number indicates that there has just been a thunderstorm..."

"Yo, Conan is really smart~" Maori Hitomi said and squatted down, looked at Conan and said word by word: "You don't seem to be such a simple child, right?" ”

Conan hurriedly waved his hand, with a cute expression: "No... Because my uncle is a great detective, he taught me..."

"Yes," Mori Hitomi looked at him with a smirk before saying, "If there was a thunderstorm just now, I think it was probably near the TV station." ”

"Huh? Near here? Everyone looked surprised.

Mao Li Hitomi nodded, and said with great certainty: "When I was waiting at the door of the studio just now, I happened to hear people from two TV stations next to me discussing today's thunderstorm, saying that there was a very big thunderstorm just now, which was emitted from here as the center." ”

"If you guess based on this symbol...", Hitomi Mori pointed to one of the numbers, "This can't be deciphered by graphics, but the pronunciation of Japanese, what are you reading and seeing?" ”

The young detectives came over, looked at the numbers and read curiously: "According to... Prop? Is it a prop? ”

"That's right, I think it's probably a warehouse where the props are placed! We just have to ask the other staff. ”

"So what are you waiting for, let's go!" Motota yelled excitedly and hurriedly dragged Mitsuhiko and Ayumi towards some innocent staff member.

……

Conan and Maori Hitomi landed at the back of the group, and the little boy quietly tugged at the older boy's hand, and the reflection of his eyes flashed on his glasses.

"Big brother is not simple..."

"Oh? How so? Mori Hitomi looked at Conan with a smile.

Conan shook his head and said quietly, "It's obviously the first time I've come to Japan, but I'm more proficient in Japanese than an ordinary Japanese* person. And big brother, your reasoning level is really not like a simple foreigner..."

"yes... You're not bad, little brother, it doesn't seem to be as simple as a primary school student. ”

Conan laughed, lifted his wide glasses, and said slowly, "My name is Conan, Conan Edogawa." ”

"But..."

The little boy winked at Maori Hitomi, a look of wisdom in it.

"I'm still a detective..."
