Chapter 19: A Difficult Journey to Find Your Soul
Mori Kogoro wanted him to kill him, and the landlady made it up.
It's a pity that this little wish fell through.
ββ¦β¦ It was indeed he who killed, he was strangled and hung from the ceiling, and the fingerprints of a third party were found on both the rope and the ceiling. "And judging from the strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased, the murderer must have been a tall man." β
"Tall man?" , Maori Kogoro silently stuffed this characteristic into his mind, and then asked worriedly, "Did you find the girl I said?" β
"No, but we found this." Twilight picked up a pair of glasses from the side, and the lenses were round and slippery, the same one that Masami Hirota had worn before.
The cup in Mori Kogoro's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and his face was ugly.
In the eyes of the two, Masami Hirota has been killed.
β¦β¦
Mori Kogoro was frustrated.
After coming out of the police station, there was an even more depressed one next to him.
Xiaolan burst into tears, "It's so miserable, Miss Yami finally met her father, but this kind of thing happened, woo woo woo ......"
Mori Kogoro had to cheer up and comfort her, "I'm not sure if she was killed, maybe she was just taken away." β
"That's right, there is no blood and no corpses, it's too early to die." , Bai Shu reached out and took out a handkerchief from Conan's pocket and handed it to Xiaolan.
Xiaolan took it and wiped her tears, "Thank you, Brother Naoki." β
Conan: "......" Hey!
Bai Shu caught a glimpse of Conan's resentful gaze, and the corners of his eyes twitched, It's been so long, you didn't remember that Masami Hirota had a tracker on him, and he was embarrassed to stare at me?
He sighed, as if helplessly muttering to himself, "Alas, it would be nice if there were clues, such as a mark on her body, we might be able to find out in time before she was killed." β
"Ahh Conan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he finally remembered the tracker that had been mistakenly attached to Masami Hirota's watch.
His hand subconsciously touched the tracking glasses, but before he pressed the switch, Conan suddenly noticed that the three people next to him were looking at him, attracted by his loud "ah".
"Ah...... Hahaha. Conan scratched his head and giggled and forcibly continued the previous words...... Children are just throwing away the benefits, and they are not likely to be suspicious of what they do.
"......", Maori Kogoro glanced at the startled bear child, and continued to turn back to comfort Xiaolan.
Conan quickly adjusted his glasses while no one was paying attention to him, and then he was pleasantly surprised to find that the light point representing the transmitter was movingβMasami Hirota may not be dead yet!
After judging that Shinjuku was located four kilometers to the northwest, Conan secretly turned his head and rushed out, and after a wild run, he stopped in front of a pachinko.
The transmitter is inside, and Masami Hirota is likely to be here too!
Conan raised his leg and was about to rush in, but unfortunately he only took a step before the security guard grabbed his collar and slipped out, "Hey, kid, we're not an amusement park here, you can't enter alone." β
"Let go of me!" Conan is in a hurry, and the glasses are running out of power!
fluttered for a long time, and was about to bite the security guard's hand and sneak in, when a hand suddenly reached out next to him and took him over.
Bai Shu carried Conan and smiled at the security guard, "I'm sorry, this is my brother, I didn't pay attention to him just now, this kid ran away by himself, I'll keep an eye on him for a while." β
"Oh, good...... That makes you play happily in advance. Pachinko House also pays attention to customer first, and the security guard hesitated for a moment and did not stop him.
It wasn't until he entered the pachinko shop that Conan reacted, he broke away from the white tree's hand and fell to the ground, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you ......?"
"Why didn't you say a word and run away on your own? Xiaolan is worried about you. Bai Shu preemptively struck back the remaining half of Conan's sentence.
"......", sure enough, Conan was instantly dumbfounded, and he paused before saying, "I...... I saw someone who looked a lot like Masami's sister running in, so I came in and had a look, hahaha. Wow, there's something over there! β
Pretending to be curious, he chased in the direction of the transmitter, and just ran around a corner when he slammed into a man.
Bai Shu looked up, it was a strong man who was a head taller than him, with short bangs in the middle, and his chin was as long as his buttocks, which was very recognizable.
The strong man hissed, glanced down at Conan, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "Look at the road!" Then he ignored him and went straight out the door.
Conan didn't pay much attention to it, he was a little depressed at this time, not because he was hit, but because his glasses were completely dead - he couldn't continue to track Masami Hirota.
But Conan didn't give up: since the signal was interrupted here, there must be some clues left in this store!
Shiraki watched Conan start to run around, walked to the pachinko machine by himself, bought steel balls for a few thousand yen, and played boringly.
There can be no clues, looking for dad or something, it's just a scam from beginning to end.
When the white tree small half of the frame steel ball was all played, Conan couldn't get out of the pachinko house Masami Hirota, seeing that the security guard's look was getting more and more wrong, he could only follow the white tree back home.
Conan entered the house with a blushing head, thinking that he would find an excuse to deal with Xiaolan like before, but Xiaolan didn't look at him at all, just stood at the window blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Conan showed a worried expression and wanted to say something to comfort her, but before he could speak, Xiaolan was suddenly stunned.
She pointed outside, "You see, that guy is so weird. β
Bai Shu walked to the window and took a look, and found that in the crack in the wall across the road, there was an uncle wearing sunglasses who was looking up and staring at the window of the Maori detective agency.
"Isn't this the person I met at Kenzo Hirota's house that day?" , Shiraki remembered, "The ...... that tracks the same as the Maori teacher"
"Hey! Why do I feel a little contempt in your tone! Mori Kogoro looked at him alarmedly.
"Haha, delusion, the one I respect the most is you, Mr. Maori." , Bai Shu hurriedly showed a sincere smile.
Conan ignored the two of them, he ran to the window and stood on tiptoe, and after a few glances out, he realized, "This man...... Looks so tall. β
Turning his head to look at Shiraki, he suddenly thought of something, frowned and added, "Using the billboard next to him as a reference, it seems to be a little taller than Brother Naoki." β
"Yes." , Bai Shu touched the top of his head, his height is indeed tall, if he is taller than him, he can indeed be called a ......
ββ¦β¦ Tall man. Xiaolan muttered.
She remembered the clue that Mori Kogoro had brought with him after he came out of the police station.
- The clue about the murderer.
