"Looking for me?" Shina Kaori didn't hide her movements at all, so after Shiraishi was stunned, she immediately looked at the newspaper in her hand.

After a few glances, he seemed to understand.

- The same newspaper, now in his room, with a report on him.

Specially collecting this kind of thing, not to see others praise themselves, but mainly to grasp intelligence, confirm their own image in the eyes of the outside world, and facilitate future planning actions, yes, it is so rigorous.

And when solving the case, although it was mainly Conan who was chattering, he also provided clues...... Thinking of this, Shiraishi looked away from the newspaper a little weakly and looked back at the girl holding it.

The new name Kaori first briefly introduced herself, then briefly described the disappearance of her parents, and finally proposed to entrust Shiraishi to help find her parents.

Shiraishi didn't mind making extra money, but the problem was that he had little impression of the case.

He is not good at solving mysteries, and the disappearance case is not a trivial matter, in case the case of delaying the case after receiving it, resulting in a death, it is not good.

"I'm sorry." When Shiraishi refuses, he introduces her to the Maori detective agency upstairs and tells her to come back in the evening—by then Conan should have finished playing with his parents and will continue to work as a child at Maori's side.

But at this moment, the familiar sound of water droplets sounded in his ears.

"......" Shiraishi glanced at the light screen, and after 0.5 seconds, he quietly continued what he had just said, "...... I can't guarantee that I can find someone, but I'll do my best. ”

"Really?!" For the first time in two months, this is the first time that the detective has not refused, and the new name Kahori is so excited that tears roll in her eyes.

She raised her hand and pressed the corner of her eye, and couldn't wait to walk into the store and open the handbag: "I, I'll tell you what I know first." ”

……

The two of them were drinking hot tea in an air-conditioned café while discussing the case, three thousand meters away, in an abandoned house surrounded by snow, Conan lay on the cold and stiff floor, and opened his eyes in a daze.

Looking around at the old ceiling, Conan found himself lying in a messy old kitchen.

After noticing that there was no one else in the room, he was relieved and wanted to sit up, but he didn't succeed.

…… This feeling of uncontrolled body is actually a bit familiar.

Conan struggled to lower his head, and sure enough, he saw a bundle of hemp rope firmly wrapped around him, tying him like a rice dumpling. The hand behind the reverse cut is so numb that it is almost unconscious.

"......" The black cat has come over?

No, you can't think of it that way. The last time he was tied up with a hose, it was because he showed obvious hostility and delayed the other party's trip. But now, they are no longer hostile, and the black cat has no reason to be so ruthless.

Thinking of his previous escape, Conan sighed, knowing that he was probably caught by Edogawa Fumiyo again.

After figuring out his situation, Conan gathered his strength, rolled up on the ground, walked to the window, and tiptoed to look out.

The scene outside the window was deserted, it seemed to be an abandoned old mansion, and the place where he was now locked up was on the second floor.

There was a car parked in the small courtyard downstairs, and judging from the model, it was the one that Edogawa Fumiyo had driven.

Other than that, there were no police officers in sight, and no black cats were seen...... Conan leaned haggard against the windowsill, trying to figure out how to get out.

Shiraishi's words will definitely be able to understand his distress signal, and his kind of good person will not leave his abducted neighbors alone.

But now nothing is happening.

In other words, the black cat may be busy with other things, and Shiraishi can't contact anyone. Or, the men in black are too powerful and their whereabouts are secretive, and they can't find their place.

In fact, just now in the car, after hearing Edogawa Fumiyo say that she was a member of the black-clothed organization, Conan already regretted asking Shiraishi for help - no matter how powerful they were, there were only two people, how could they be the opponents of the black-clothed organization.

I haven't found it now, maybe it's a good thing...... But in that case, you'll have to work harder.

Just as he was planning an escape route, there was a sudden sound of slamming the door in the living room across the door—someone walked into the living room.

Conan was immediately alert.

The kitchen door was closed, and when he approached carefully, Conan noticed a small crack underneath the wooden door, making it easy to peep into.

He looked closer, and in addition to the chubby Edogawa Fumiyo, there was another man in the living room who was black from head to toe and exuded a dangerous aura all over his body.

For a moment, Conan almost thought it was a black cat that had come in.

However, he soon learned that it was not—the two men were not dressed differently.

In addition to the black suit, the man in the living room also wears a black top hat and a black cape, in addition to the mask on his face is white, and it is a full-face mask, and the style is a hideous smile, which is very different from the black cat.

In addition, the position is not right, judging by the way he greets Edogawa Fumiyo, they are obviously accomplices.

As he peeked, the masked man looked sideways at the kitchen door as if sensing his gaze, and then he stepped over.

Conan's breath stagnated, and he immediately tiptoed back to where he had just woken up and lay down again.

But at this time, Conan suddenly realized in a cold sweat that he could no longer remember what position he was in when he woke up.

However, it is normal for people to move around when they are asleep - he can only comfort himself in this way, while slowing his breathing and trying to pretend that he is not awake.

The masked man didn't open the door, and after looking at Conan through the crack in the kitchen door for a while, he retracted his gaze as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual, and continued to talk back to Edogawa Fumiyo.

Conan exhaled slowly, lying on the ground and not daring to move.

Only Edogawa Fumiyo's words are fine. Although this woman has a gun and is still black, she always feels that her IQ is not high, and it should not be difficult to escape from her.

But the new man in black gave Conan a great sense of crisis.

The new masked man, of course, is Conan's father, Yusaku Kudo - a famous reasoner.

He turned his back to the kitchen door and gestured to his wife, and Kudo Yukiko understood in seconds, and began to recite words in accordance with the script designed by Yusaku Kudo.

After all, the lines designed by the best-selling author himself, the conversation between the two "members of the black organization", is extremely informative.

Conan managed to overhear a lot of information - for example, these two men arrested him because he didn't die after eating the poison, but became smaller, which is a very rare case and has research value.

Another example is that the Mask Man doesn't believe that adults will get smaller because of the medicine, so he decides to find another unlucky ghost, feed him the same medicine, and see what happens.

The two quickly talked about the task of exterminating the mouth issued by the organization, and added that "the transaction time is set at one o'clock in the afternoon".

The words "extermination" and "trade partner" are next to each other, and Conan immediately guesses that the Black Suit wants to repeat the old trick and kill the partner they have traded with.

Then again, most of the people who traded with them are dead, so if this continues, will anyone trade with them......

Conan hated and bewildered by this murderous organization, but the most important thing for now was to flee first.

After that, he plans to save the unlucky ghost who is about to be wiped out, and by the way, call the police to capture the masked man, get the poison from them, and give it to the doctor to study.
