"What? A few of your classmates are missing! Maori Kogoro was not calm at once.

Although he is usually unreliable, he still has a good heart.

After learning the news, Kogoro Mori was even more nervous than Conan.

He frowned and asked Conan, "Do you know where they might go?" ”

Conan shook his head, "I guess there's a good chance they're not in those places, and my biggest fear is that they'll follow me and end up getting lost." ”

Ayumi and the three had previous convictions, and because they wanted to be friends with Conan, they followed Conan all the way to Miss Yoko's apartment, and happened to bump into a deceased.

Thinking of the feeling of being followed just now, Conan had a good reason that Ayumi and the three of them secretly followed him again.

Maori Kogoro slapped Conan on the head, "You little devils are really tormenting the dead, let's go and go find them with me." ”

After finishing speaking, he took Conan and turned around and left in the opposite direction to Chu He.

It's just that when leaving, Maori Kogoro was very unwilling to glance at the direction in which Chu He left.

After the two left, a figure sneaked up on them.

On the other side, Chu He and Miwako Sato have found a shop to do it.

Miwako Sato placed her chin on the table and pursed her mouth.

"It's annoying, can't I find any useful information at all! After looking for so many sushi restaurants, I found that Xiaohua ate the most ordinary sushi at all. ”

Originally, Chu He and Miwa Sato just wanted to use these foods to find the place where Xiaohua had been, but obviously, they failed.

Chu He comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Miheko, isn't there still fruit and cake." However, I think it's likely that the cake will be in the same situation as sushi, and we'll probably play with the fruit on top of it. ”

Miwako Sato snatched the test report from Chu He's hand and watched it carefully.

But no matter how she looked, she couldn't see the clue, she stretched out her voice, and her mood was not very high, "Chu Hejun, what kind of fruit is not written on the test report at all, how can this clue be tracked?" ”

Chu He also frowned, he pointed to the data on the paper and asked, "Miheko, why is it unknown here?" ”

Miwako Sato stepped forward to take a closer look, and she said, "Well, it's because the pH values of many fruits are very close after being digested by gastric juice, and it's not easy to identify, so it's simply unknown." ”

A large pH value is alkaline, and a small value is acidic.

The normal level of stomach acid in the human body is 1.3-1.8, but it is usually diluted after a meal, rising to about 3.5.

The gastric acid pH of the deceased floret is 1.4, which has returned to normal levels, but there is a problem that gastric acid secretion will basically stop after the death of the human body.

Stomach acid is usually secreted in large quantities when eating foods that are high in fat, and when people have an empty stomach or are emotional.

Xiaohua is dead, but the food in her stomach continues to fight against stomach acid, and according to common sense, her stomach acid pH level cannot be so low.

Unless......

Chu He's mind flashed with an idea, and then he said to Miwako Sato: "Miwako, you say, could it be that Xiaohua ate some acidic fruit, so her stomach acid is so abnormal?" ”

Miwako Sato's eyes lit up, she straightened up, and said, "It's very likely, and it's probably an uncommon fruit, otherwise Uncle Hashimoto would easily analyze it." ”

The price of fruits is relatively high because of the monopoly of the Japanese Agricultural Association, and it is basically impossible to eat watermelon every day to relieve the heat in summer, like in China.

Xiaohua ate the fruit, and it was an uncommon acidic fruit, and the search area became smaller.

Chu He and Miwako Sato rekindled their fighting spirit and prepared to go out to search.

But before they can do that, they need to fill their stomachs before they can cope with the long nights.

The time went from more than 6 o'clock in the evening to 7:20 in the evening, and Chu He and Miwako Sato, who went out to search again, did not get the results they wanted.

The fruits in the Sanjokai shopping street are either common fruits or rare alkaline fruits, and there are basically no fruits that meet the goals of two people.

Miwako Sato is like a deflated ball, and the whole person is a little sluggish.

It felt like playing basketball, with the last bit of time left, the score was level and the most crucial shot was not hit.

Chu He saw that Miwako Sato's state was wrong, and he reached out and touched Miwako Sato's head.

"Don't be discouraged, Miwako still has one last clue, persistence is the final victory."

Feeling the temperature from Chu He's big hand, Miwako Sato didn't shake off Chu He's hand this time, and I don't know if she acquiesced or wasn't in the mood to shake off Chu He's hand.

She sighed, and then said to Chu He: "Chu Hejun, let's go, it's better to go back early if it's over early." ”

Her words have already shown her attitude, proving that Miwako Sato herself is not optimistic about this case.

Chu He did not argue, he believed that the facts were the best answer.

Just as the two of them were about to go to the last stop, Miwako Sato's cell phone rang.

Miwako Sato took out her phone, and then she said, "It's Mr. Mori's phone." ”

Maori Kogoro, is he here to show off or something?

Chu He was a little puzzled, and he gave Miwako Sato a look and asked her to answer with confidence.

Miwako Sato answered the phone, and her face changed after just two sentences.

After hanging up the phone, she said to Chu He with a very solemn expression: "Chu Hejun, our investigation may be about to stop, and several children are missing. Mr. Maori, please let me take you with you in the search for these children. ”

"Do you have any information about the kids?" Chu He always felt that something was not right, and when he heard the child, several short figures suddenly appeared in his mind.

Miwako Sato nodded, "There are three children missing, two men and one woman, the female is called Ayumi, the two men are called Mitsuhiko, and the other is called Motota." All three were first-year elementary school students and were Conan's classmates. According to Mr. Maori, it is likely that the three children followed Conan all the way to this place and ended up missing. ”

Japan's transportation construction did a good job in the early days, and if it wasn't for the wrong car, Ayumi and the three were really following Conan, and the three of them must have disappeared in Sanjokai Commercial Street.

After listening to Miwako Sato's words, Chu He was speechless for a while.

Sure enough, it was the group of trouble-making teenagers again.
