Chapter 147: Reflect on why you are not as good as a cat
The first action was frustrated.
But no matter how witty it is, it's just an animal......
Conan refused to give up, he thought for a while, and after seeing the cat meal that Mao Lilan was preparing, he quickly had an idea.
He ran to a nearby convenience store, bought a pack of small dried fish for pets, and when he got home, he put the dried fish on a plate, and then approached with a plate in one hand and a sticker in the other, with a smile on his face.
Shiraishi turned his head when he smelled it, staring at the pile of strange-shaped fish speechless for a moment, trying to lift it in Conan's face.
However, when he saw the transmitter in Conan's other hand, he changed his mind again.
According to the development in the original book, this transmitter was mistakenly pasted onto Akemi Miyano's watch by Conan.
Later, with the help of this, Conan found the traces of Akemi Miyano and Tomoshi Kitano, and learned from Akemi Miyano that one billion yen was hidden by her in the counter of the hotel.
Conan informed the police of the news in time, causing Gin to stick to the time and people, and in the end he didn't get a penny.
Although the billion yen this time is not an outsourced task, if it is successful, several of them will be able to share the bonus, and if there is Conan, there will be trouble, no matter what you think, Shiraishi hopes that Conan will stay away from the follow-up.
It would be very easy to get the transmitter away so that he could not track it......
Conan didn't dare to approach this time, for fear that the overly witty cat would see that he had bad intentions.
He put the small dried fish on the ground as if he were making an offering, squatted next to it and waited for the cat to take the bait, and after waiting for two seconds, the cat actually jumped off the sofa and came over.
Conan's eyes lit up, and he waited with bated breath for the opportunity to strike.
The cat didn't even look at the dried fish, stepped on the plate and passed, then raised its paw and waved at him, and turned its head away neatly.
When Conan came back to his senses, he realized that his hand was empty.
If you look closely, the black cat has a white sticker on the inside of its front paws - it is his transmitter.
Although things went unexpectedly well, it always felt ...... Went too far?
……
After listening to all of Akemi Miyano's descriptions, Shiraishi still didn't remember where Kenzo Hirota, who had escaped, was hiding.
You can only try to rub the European Emperor buff of Maolilan.
Seeing that Akemi Miyano was about to say goodbye and there was no more information about staying here, Shiraishi ran to the window, leaped to the branch next to the sidewalk amid the exclamation of Moriran, and slipped away along the tree.
After turning two streets and looking back, no one followed, Shiraishi ran to the side of the bus that stopped on the side of the road, rubbed the transmitter to the side of the wheel, slapped it tightly, and then got under the car to remove the mask and return to his body.
……
The next afternoon, Shiraishi came home from his shift, turned into a cat and walked upstairs as usual, trying to see if there was any progress in finding someone.
This time, it was Maori Lan's door, and the high school girl was particularly hospitable, especially the cat.
Mori Ran actually always wanted to have a cat, but Mori Kogoro didn't like it very much, and in the end he couldn't raise it. Now there are cats visiting the door every day, which just solves this problem.
Entering the living room, Shiraishi saw Conan leaning on the sofa reading a newspaper, and the whole person was very wilted.
Hearing the movement at the door, Conan glanced at the black cat who was being greeted by Maolilan, and turned his head back very resentfully.
Shiraishi guessed that he was tired of chasing the bus, after all, the car where the transmitter was located was a ring bus, and the route was very far away.
While Maoliran went to the kitchen to prepare a snack, Shiraishi ran to the workbench to take a look.
It may be that Akemi Miyano cried too pitifully when he commissioned it, but Mori Kogoro was full of a sense of responsibility and was not lazy at all, he stared at the map spread out on the table, thinking intently about where to search next.
Shiraishi jumped on the table to check the information and found that Mori Kogoro had gone to Kenzo Hirota's company and a pet store near his home in the morning, but people who had an impression of Kenzo Hirota said that he had not been seen since the day before yesterday.
There were some fragmentary clues recorded in the notebook, and Shiraishi flipped through them for a while, and when he turned back to the first page, he suddenly remembered a clue.
It popped out a nail and stretched out its hand towards the notebook.
……
Mori Kogoro was racking his brains to plan his next move, when suddenly, he heard a rustling sound.
Turning his head suspiciously, he saw that there was a cat on the table at some point, and the cat was lowering his head, stretching his nails to scratch his notebook, and there were a few pieces scattered around the cat's feet.
"Hey!!" Mori Kogoro was startled, took the case, and angrily reached out to stop the saboteurs.
However, before he could touch a single cat hair, Maorilan, who heard the movement, flashed to the desk.
She didn't know what was going on, so she first followed her heart and carried the cat away from Maori Kogoro's arm, and then frowned and looked at her father: "If you don't like cats, don't bully people!" ”
"Who bullies whom!" Maori Kogoro pointed to his notebook and complained angrily, "It tore up my clues!" ”
“!” Maolilan looked down and saw a few pieces of shredded paper, slightly weak.
She only knew that Maori Kogoro didn't like cats, so she subconsciously thought that Maori Kogoro was murdering it because it was on the table.
I didn't expect it to be the cat's hand first: "It, it didn't mean it, and it only broke a few pieces, and then put it back, I'll help you spell it......"
Conan also walked in at this time.
He tiptoed to look at the torn notebook, and after a second, he suddenly thought of something, and raised his hand to stop Maolilan, who was about to restore the paper.
In the notebook, the names of Ken Hirota's three or four cats were originally recorded - "Hao", "Wang", "Emperor" and "Kuai".
But now, each name has been torn into a separate piece and rearranged as "Emperor Haokuai".
If it were any other cat, Conan would have thought it was an accident and would have passed by looking at it.
But this cat raised by the black cat is different.
And it happens to be one word per fragment, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a coincidence, it is more like trying to convey something.
With this thought, Conan immediately became interested in the reordered text.
He asked Mori Ran and Mori Kogoro, "Do you know of any thing or place called 'Emperor Haokuai'?" I always felt like I'd heard it somewhere before. ”
"Emperor Haokuai?" Reading it together, Mori Kogoro had an impression of the word.
He also likes to gamble for money, and occasionally goes to the racecourse: "That's the name of a racehorse." It was beautiful in the last few years, but it's been a bit downhill lately......"
"This is it!" Mao Lilan figured it out at once, "Mr. Hirota must be very fond of betting on horses, so he named the cat after the racehorse, let's go to the racecourse to have a look, maybe we can meet him!" ”
"This is indeed a clue, but we don't know how often he goes to the racetrack, and even if he goes, how can tens of thousands of people find it......"
Conan looked at a few pieces of paper on the table, and felt quite unwilling, he couldn't compare to Baishi, even the clues that even cats could see, he didn't see it.
But does this mean that black cats also like to bet on horses?
Thinking so, Conan once again deposited useless knowledge that didn't exist into his knowledge reserve.
