"Could it be that he secretly went to investigate something himself?" Maori Kogoro casually guessed, "And then, because he drank too late last night, he didn't pay attention to the battery of his mobile phone, and after going out this morning, his mobile phone ran out of battery......"

"That's right!" Hattori Heiji suddenly smiled and squinted, "I didn't expect him to leave us and secretly run to investigate, so let's just not wait for him, let's go to the wake first!" ”

Hearing Hattori Heiji say the same, Toyama and Ye were not worried, and said with a smile, "Then let's go back and change our clothes first, fortunately we brought our high school uniforms over, anyway, it's all black, wouldn't it seem strange to go to the wake." ”

"Did you bring your high school uniforms?" Mao Lilan smiled, "Actually, it is the most convenient for Brother Chi to participate in activities such as funerals." ”

"yes, yes, you don't have to change your clothes......"

Next to him, Heiji Hattori and Conan secretly glanced at each other, with heaviness in their eyes.

After returning to the room, Conan waited for Hattori Heiji to change his clothes, and said softly, "Brother Chi went out by himself." ”

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that," Hattori whispered as he changed his clothes in the bathroom, "Look at the traces in the room, he left on his own." ”

"I'm afraid Uncle is on the point this time," Conan walked to the place where he put his luggage, "It's possible that he found some clues that we didn't notice and went to investigate on his own, or of course, he could have been called out by someone...... Well? He took the computer with him? ”

"Really? In that case, I'll send him an email......"

Hattori Heiji said, there was already a mobile phone button sound in the bathroom, "Even if he doesn't notice the battery of the phone, but as long as he brings the computer, if there is no accident, he should be able to contact, although, I don't think he is the kind of person who will not pay attention to the battery of the mobile phone......"

"Well," Conan nodded solemnly, "he wouldn't be the kind of person who sneaks out for a long time without telling anyone else in advance, especially if he has to go to the wake today, that is, before he goes out, he thinks he can come back before we leave, even if he is temporarily held back by something and his phone is out of battery, but since he has a computer, he will send us an email to tell us." ”

That's right, there are too many doubts about how to say that Chi Feichi ran out to investigate by himself and forgot to pay attention to the battery level of his mobile phone.

They behaved like that before, but they didn't want Maolilan, Yuanshan and Ye to worry.

Although they had vaguely guessed in their hearts that Chi Feichi's situation was not good, everything was possible, and they had only seen anyone in the morning, and they were not 100% sure that something had happened to Chi Feichi.

In addition, if something really happened to Chi Feichi, no one dared to guarantee that there would be no one by their side, secretly paying attention to their reactions, in order not to arouse the vigilance of the other party, they had better not be too nervous, relax on the surface, and then secretly confirm the situation, look for clues, and find someone.

"If he hasn't replied to this email...... "Heiji Hattori has already changed his clothes, and after leaving the bathroom, he holds his mobile phone and stares at Conan seriously, "I think you know what it means, Kudo?" He's very good, but sometimes he can't avoid all the crises......"

Conan nodded, thinking of the Ye Caisan incident, Chi Feichi's attack and falling into the sea, thinking of the police shooting, and the murderer's direct transfer of the target from Mao Lilan to Chi Feichi, his face changed slightly, "Hey, Hattori ......"

"Huh? What's wrong? Hattori Heiji asked, "Do you remember any important clues?" ”

"What if...... Well, I mean, if Brother Chi is attacked by the murderer who killed Miss Ebihara Shoumi this time," Conan retracted his thoughts, not quite sure, "The murderer is likely to kill again, if the other party just wants to prevent others from investigating, then they can also attack us, and Brother Chi is attacked, many times because his investigation is progressing too fast, and the murderer is worried that his killing plan will be destroyed by him before it is completed, so he wants to clean up his stumbling block......"

Hattori Heiji thought for a moment, "In short, Brother Fei Chi must have important clues that we didn't find." ”

The two didn't communicate any more, went out to meet with the others, and went to Ebihara's house to participate in the wake, silently sorting out the clue in their hearts.

Chi Feichi's disappearance is likely to point them to another direction of investigation, that is, Chi Feichi has clues that they have not noticed.

First of all, it's Kadowaki Benzo, Chi Feichi came into contact with this person yesterday, and he also visited the door, they weren't together, Chi Feichi may have suddenly remembered a suspicious place when he visited last night, and he went over to confirm this morning......

Secondly, it was Shimabukuro Junhui who secretly talked to Chi Feichi last night, although they didn't want to suspect Shimabukuro Junhui, but they always had to figure out what the two of them said last night, maybe Chi Feichi found Shimabukuro Junhui to confirm some clues.

In addition, Chi Fei Chi inquired about Saori Kadowaki near Saori Kadowaki yesterday, and it may have been at that time that he found something from someone......

A group of people arrived at Ebihara's house, signed the guest list, and entered the door.

Shimabukuro, who was dressed in black, heard the sound of the door opening, turned his head to see a group of people, and got up to greet him, "Mr. Maori, you are here too." ”

As he spoke, he stole a look behind him and retracted his gaze.

"yes......" Mori Kogoro responded.

"Sister Junhui, were you looking for someone just now?" Conan asked.

"Huh?" Shimabukuro Kimie was deliberately stunned and hesitated, "That...... Didn't Mr. Chi come along? He said he would come last night. ”

On the side, Fukuyama Rokuro, who was kneeling on the ground, turned his head to look at the group of people, frowned slightly, and his eyes were a little obscure.

"Did Brother Fei Chi tell you that last night?" Hattori Heiji hurriedly asked, "What did you say specifically?" ”

"Well, yes," Kimie Shimabukuro nodded, "I suddenly stopped him last night, but I didn't know what to say...... After that, he said that he would come to the wake tomorrow, and I said that I would too, and then they said to each other that they would see each other tomorrow, and it was nothing. ”

Hattori Heiji nodded, not suspicious.

Last night, it was indeed Shimabukuro Junhui who didn't know what to say after calling Chi Feichi, the two were silent for a while, it was Chi Feichi who spoke first, and it didn't seem to be much to talk about, just a matter of three or two sentences.

Conan thought about it, although he complained in his heart yesterday that Xiaolan was pulling the red line indiscriminately, but Xiaolan is not the kind of person who forcibly pulls the line, it must be out of female intuition, and she feels that Miss Shimabukuro has a little liking for Chi Feichi's guy.

Chi Feichi's attitude, he couldn't be sure.

However, with that guy's keenness, maybe he was aware of it, and whether Chi Feichi was interested or decided to refuse, it was reasonable to want to come to the wake together and find a chance to talk later.

Coupled with Chi Feichi's awkward personality, it is also reasonable to speak so tactfully......

No problem.

"Yes...... Did something happen? Kimie Shimabukuro asked.

"It's nothing," Hattori retracted his thoughts, it seemed that Miss Shimabukuro Junhui couldn't ask anything here, since this was the case, there was no need to worry about it alone, and said with a smile, "Brother Fei Chi probably found some clues again, and secretly ran to investigate alone." ”

"Then it's the same as you, when you hear the case, you run faster than anyone else, and you never remember the agreement with others!" As soon as Yuanshan and Ye thought of the history of Hattori Heiji's 'no-show', they felt angry and thought about it, "But Brother Fei Chi may be better, there should really be some important discoveries this time, right, Xiaolan?" ”

"Hmm!" Mao Lilan smiled and nodded, but the smile in his eyes was reluctant, faintly worried.

No, with Chi Feichi's character, it barely makes sense to suddenly investigate something this morning, but if she makes an appointment with Shimabukuro Junhui, she thinks that Chi Feichi will not come.

But now she also understands the reason why Hattori Heiji didn't know what to say, so she simply cooperated to prevent Toyama Kazuha and Shimabukuro Kimihui from worrying......

On the side, Heiji Hattori and Conan also made the same judgment in their hearts.

Chi Fei can't miss the appointment! Something must have happened!

"By the way, Miss Kimi-e," Mori Kogoro leaned closer to Kimi-e Shimabukuro, glancing at Kadowaki Benzo, who was also drunk on the other side of the vigil, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Kadowaki didn't seem to be home all night last night, do you know where he went?" ”

"I don't know," Kimie Shimabukuro whispered, "I heard that I drank all night with tourists at an izakaya......"

Hattori squatted down, leaned into Conan's ear, and whispered, "Hey, Kudo, did you see Mr. Rokuro's expression just now?" ”

"Hmm!" Conan nodded, wandering in thought.

"By the way, why didn't you see Miss Naoko?" Mori Kogoro looked left and right, "Isn't her name already written on the guest roster?" ”

"Huh? Has Naoko already arrived? Shimabukuro Kimie wondered.

"Boom ——!"

Outside, lightning streaked across the night sky, and a figure was cast on a paper door.

First of all, Moriran, Toyama and Ye noticed the abnormality, and then Hattori Heiji also saw it, and immediately opened the sliding door and went out.

In the midst of the frightened screams, Kuroe sat on her knees, hanging from a fishing net, her face stiff, her eyes staring straight at the ground in front of her, like a mermaid caught in a net and unable to speak forever.

A clear line of boot footprints spread from the sand behind Naoko Kuroe to the sea, and finally disappeared into the waves.

There were crystal fish scales sprinkled on the road, and there were also a few fish scales stuck to Kuroe Naoko's body, and everything looked like it was made of mermaids.

The only thing that is certain is that the dugong arrow on Kuroe Naoko was taken away, and the murderer stepped on it before leaving......

As the Fukui Prefectural police arrived and took over the investigation, Hattori Heiji and others, who had been wandering around the scene, were also pushed aside.

However, Hattori Heiji, Mori Kogoro, and Conan were not idle, and chatted with other people who came to wake the spirit, inquiring about the news.

More than one person saw Saori Kadowaki, who had disappeared yesterday, and they were all sure that it was Saori Kadowaki herself.

"Did you see a young man dressed in black on the street or anywhere this morning?" Hattori Heiji hurriedly asked.

"No," said one of the uncles, "it was so bad this morning, and I didn't go out until it was almost time to help Shou Mei keep a watch." ”

"Me too," said the fat aunt next to her, "and it's so dark today, I can't see people's faces clearly from a distance, and if I wear black clothes...... Today is the day to help Shoumei keep the spirit, and many people in the village are wearing black clothes, even if they see it on the way here, unless they get closer, they can't tell who it is. ”

"Pingji ......" Yuanshan and Ye wanted to speak and stopped.

"Kazuha," Hattori Heiji looked serious and said in a low voice, "You don't leave my side." ”

Toyama and Haha were stunned, staring at the back of Hattori Heiji entering the house, their cheeks flushed, and they completely forgot to ask.
