Chapter 625: They Know It's Wrong
After waiting for a while, the detective's armband faintly heard the sound of the car driving away, and then it was quiet again.
After that, until Mori Kogoro came back after calling, there was no movement.
"Officer Twilight said that he would ask people to keep an eye on him," Mori Kogoro said with a solemn expression, "but it's not certain that they've actually met the murderer, and they've lost contact with them for a short time, so they can't open a case for investigation, and the police can't help much." β
"Shall we go out and look for it?" Maoliran asked.
"The first click was the sound of metal locks, the locks on non-fully enclosed trucks," Chi Fei said later, "followed by the sound of cloth rubbing against solidified cement, and finally the sound of cars leaving, listening to the slight clicking sound between the engine and walking, it was indeed a truck transporting goods, they should have seen someone killing someone or seeing a corpse in a cement building......"
"The murderer was still there, so they didn't dare to speak loudly," Conan also thought carefully, "and then Mitsuhiko said something ......like, 'It looks like he's going to carry the dead out,'"
"In other words, the murderer may have killed someone where they were, and then transported the body away in a truck," Kogoro Mori analyzed, touching his chin, "or maybe the murderer transported the body to their place in a truck, removed the body from the car, and drove away...... Will a few of them be hiding somewhere, planning to wait for the murderer to leave before coming out? As a result, the detective badge accidentally fell off and never found it? β
"You don't know them well enough." Chi Fei is succinct and to the point.
Conan thought of a possibility, and his eyelids jumped, "No......"
"Huh?" Maoriran was puzzled.
"There's a chance they'll follow." Conan said stiffly.
"This ......" Mao Lilan smiled reluctantly, "Xiaoshu is still with them, if Xiaoshu is frightened and cries, he will be found by the murderer......"
It's over, I can't go on.
Three seven or eight-year-old bear children with a one-and-a-half-year-old child took the initiative to follow a murderer...... It's not an adventure, it's death!
"Or maybe they're going to get out of that place and call us when it's safe." Conan had a little hope.
"Then wait for them to get in touch." Chi Fei is late.
Mori Kogoro nodded, "That's all I have for now, at least wait another twenty minutes." β
"Don't worry," Chi Feichi said, "I told Xiaoshu that if you encounter a gangster, don't resist, tell the other party that he has money at home, and ask the gangster to call for ransom." β
Mao Lilan nodded, still relieved.
Doing so will really stabilize the gangsters.
With the connection, you might even get useful leads.
But are you sure a one-and-a-half-year-old can do that?
β¦β¦
After waiting for nearly three hours, there was still no news.
Halfway through, Mori Kogoro took Conan out and asked the clerk at the corner store to try to find the whereabouts of a few children, but he never found anything, so he had to turn back.
Just when Mao Lilan was about to go out to look for it again, an unfamiliar number called Chi Feichi's mobile phone.
ββ¦β¦ Where are you...... Got it, wait for me in place. β
Two sentences, the phone hung up.
Chi Feichi got up and walked to the door, "I'll pick them up, Xiaolan, you cook." β
"Ah...... Good! Maolilan nodded subconsciously.
"I'll go too!" Conan ran out and closed the door.
Maori Kogoro came back to his senses and scratched his head.
The speed at which his eldest apprentice hung up the phone was still so fast, couldn't he let him scold those little ghosts?
Forget it, wait for the time to come back and scold.
More than half an hour later, the roar in the detective agency was heard far away.
"Do you know how dangerous this is?!"
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Motota obediently stood in a row, bowing their heads against Mori Kogoro's spittle Hoshiko.
"With a one-and-a-half-year-old baby who dares to run around, what should I do if something happens?"
"What do you say when you see someone killed, there is no news, and we have been worried for so long!"
"For the sake of you little ghosts, I've run all over the neighborhood!"
Mori Kogoro squirted.
Chi Feichi stood in front of the window, with his back to the others, looking outside and smoking.
When he went downstairs to pick up a group of children, there was someone in the car parked at the entrance of the alley downstairs, and when he came back, the people in the car were gone, and the car was still parked there.
When he went to the window and lit a cigarette, there was a red dot in the dim alley across the street that quickly disappeared, so fast that it would make people think it was a hallucination.
Still, he was pretty sure he saw it.
And on the wall of a house in the alley, there was also a gray-white bird standing, completely marking the location of Akai Shuichi hiding for him.
In the alley, Shuichi Akai stood in the shadows of the wall, put the cigarette butt in his hand, and waited quietly for some troublesome figure to leave from the window.
After that troublesome character returned from Boston, things got complicated again?
First, when Judy called him, he was accidentally overheard by Chi Feichi.
Although only a single complaint was heard, Chi Feichi must have noticed that Judy was sharing something about their group with others.
After that, a woman who had a good relationship with Chi Feichi lived in the apartment building where Judy lived, and it happened to be upstairs from Judy, and the dark-skinned high school student also ran to test Judy.
In the past two days, Judy has met the Miss Isobe twice in the elevator, and after the temptation, it seems that the other party just quit his job to open a store in Tokyo, and happened to live there.
However, because Judy took the initiative to ask Miss Isobe to go shopping to find out the news, the relationship between the two became a little closer, and Miss Isobe also began to invite Judy out.
Now Judy has to be careful to avoid that Miss Isobe when she goes out, and she must be careful not to be followed, except when she goes to school to inquire about the news, and when she gets home, she will be asked out...... He always felt that Judy was being held back.
Originally, they also planned to let Judy live in Chi Feichi's apartment building, but considering Chi Feichi's acumen and the price of the apartment, they finally gave up.
Unexpectedly, Chi Feichi drove a nail to Judy's side in turn.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this is indeed a troublesome character.
Today, I ran to the Maori detective agency, and suddenly went out to drive, which startled him, and just now I suddenly ran to the window to smoke......
That guy just caused Judy a lot of trouble, so shouldn't he turn around and come at him again?
Thinking about it carefully, he shouldn't have shown any flaws just now.
β¦β¦
MΔori Detective Agency.
The three elementary school students waited for Mori Kogoro to get tired and bowed neatly, "I'm sorry, we knew it was wrong!" β
Mao Lilan couldn't bear to pursue it a little, but thinking of the recklessness of the three children, he still warned with a serious face, "You can't do this in the future!" β
"Yes~" The three elementary school students continued to pretend to be obedient.
"Brother Fei Chi," Mao Lilan turned his head to look at Chi Fei Chi, who was standing in front of the window smoking, "Do you want to say something?" β
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Motota: "......"
Don't want it......
Hiroki Sawada stood in front of the sofa, fiddling with the comic book that Conan had thrown on the sofa, with some sympathy.
When I came back, I was taught a lesson in turn, which was really miserable.
Fortunately, he is now a one-and-a-half-year-old child, and he is not sensible and normal, and he is still put in the perspective of a 'victim', and no one criticizes him.
Chi Feichi turned around, put out the cigarette in the ashtray on Kogoro's desk, and said calmly, "Eat." β
"Huh?" Yuan Tai was stunned.
What about scolding? What about criticism?
"Non-Chi Brother ......" Maolilan half-moon eyes.
She asked Chi Feichi if she wanted to say something, because she wanted Chi Feichi to criticize the bear child seriously and harshly, not to let Chi Feichi announce the start of the meal.
"They know it's wrong, but next time they dare, it's useless to say it a hundred times," Chi Feichi hugged Hiroki Sawada to the dining table and sat down, "It's good to come back safely." β
"Hehe......" Mitsuhiko scratched his head and laughed.
Say 'dare next time'...... Brother Chi is telling the truth!
"Hee-hee-......" Ayumi was also a little embarrassed.
Yuan Tai was silent for a moment, "Ha...... Uh......"
Forget it, he doesn't laugh anymore.
Conan glanced at the smirking trio speechlessly.
He also felt that these three guys would dare next time.
Maori Lan felt powerless.
If you say it's useless, don't say it, if Brother Chi wants to be so realistic?
Forget it, eat.
While eating, Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko chattered about the whole thing.
"At the shop at the corner of the street, we couldn't buy rare Kamen Superman cards, so we wanted to take Koshu to another street," Ayumi said, "but halfway through Genta suddenly ran into the abandoned building, and he didn't listen." β
"Because I saw a mannequin in the window of the building outside, I suddenly thought that I could take Xiaoshu to play at home," Yuan Tai said, "It will be more interesting to have a model playing the role of an adult than a group of us children......
"After we followed the building, we were going to play with the mannequin for a while," Mitsuhiko said, "and suddenly I heard someone arguing in the building......
"Even though it was pitch black inside the building, we did see a figure knocking another person to the ground," Ayumi took over, "and then the other person was lying on the ground, unmoving, absolutely dead." β
Mitsuhiko continued, "Then the murderer began to move the body, and Motota and I planned to see if there were any clues on his truck, and by the way, see where he wanted to transport the body, so that we could call the police and notify the police." β
"As for Ayumi, let her stay in the abandoned building with Koki and wait for us," Motota looked at Ayumi, "but Koki followed and ran to the cargo compartment of the truck." β
"Of course," Conan Half Moon glanced at the three of them, "You two ran to the cargo compartment, Xiaoshu probably thought you were playing a game with him, so he followed, you should also consider his age, you shouldn't run around at that time...... And then what? And you all went with you? β
Hiroki Sawada silently bowed his head and ate with a spoon, pretending to be a good baby.
"I wanted to leave with Xiaoshu quickly, but just as I was about to get out of the cargo compartment, the murderer had already carried the body out," Ayumi explained, "We had to hide behind the cardboard box together and watch the killer carry a humanoid wrapped in cotton cloth into the cargo compartment and drive to the mountains." β
"We also saw a puddle of red oozing from the corpse," Motota couldn't help but look at Hiroki Sawada, "Koki wanted to go up to see the red liquid, but we pulled him back." β
Mori Kogoro poured his wine, "Koki wasn't scared to cry, thank God...... Would you like to drink some more? β
Chi Feichi nodded, "Thank you, teacher." β
It's interesting to watch a group of people treat Hiroki Sawada like a child who doesn't understand anything.
