【Ding! Trigger a new quest, the Hidden Boy. 】

……

One day, Xia Ruo's ears heard the voice of the system.

It's just that after this system task is released, there is no relevant system prompt appearing, no beginning or end, and even the task requirements are not said.

Xia Ruo felt that there might be some trigger conditions needed, so the task was not fully opened.

……

After meeting with Shiho Miyano, another period of time passed, and during this time there were also some inconsequential cases.

However, because Xia Ruo has been waiting for the main line of the bank robbery to happen, he doesn't care too much about ordinary small cases, and he runs back and forth between the real world and the Conan world from time to time.

Xia Ruo occasionally follows Maori Kogoro to solve the case, of course, most of the time, it is Conan who is in the limelight.

It's just that the task 'Hidden Boy' prompted by the system has no eyebrows at all.

A few more days like this passed.

One day, on a sunny morning, Conan and Mori Kogoro went out again because they were entrusted, and as usual, they could both solve ordinary cases, so Xia Ruo didn't follow him.

It's just that what Xia Ruo didn't expect was that this case seemed to be a little troublesome.

Xia Ruo waited until the afternoon, and neither Conan nor Maori Kogoro came back, generally speaking, with Conan's speed of solving the case, even the big case of serial murder was solved.

Just when Xia Ruo stayed in the office and considered whether he called Conan to ask about the situation, Xia Ruo's mobile phone rang.

It was a text message from Conan.

"Xia Ruo, there is a strange case of disappearance, and I may need your help."

"Huh?"

It was actually Conan's text message for help, and the moment he saw this text message, Xia Ruo's brows furrowed slightly.

A case that even Conan couldn't solve, Xia Ruo didn't remember that during this time, there was such a difficult case in the original work, and it was a missing case.

However, Xia Ruo still sent a text message back to Conan.

"I'll be there shortly."

I don't know why, Xia Ruo always has a hunch that this case seems to be a little different from the usual cases, and it may even be related to his own task.

……

Xia Ruo rushed directly to the scene.

The location given in Conan's text message was a place far away from the rice flower area, and it took Xia Ruo more than two hours to drive to the scene.

When Xia Ruo arrived at his destination, he found out that the location given by Conan was the entrance of a convenience store, and there was an ordinary residential area nearby, and there were no police around, so it seemed that this case was a private commission.

As soon as he got out of the car, Xia Ruo saw Conan at the door of the convenience store, he seemed to be waiting for him, and after seeing Xia Ruo coming, Conan approached.

It's just that Xia Ruo still felt a trace of doubt in Conan's eyes, as if he was bothered by something.

"Conan, what's the matter, there is really a case that is difficult to overturn you," Xia Ruo looked at Conan who came over and said, "By the way, what about Mr. Maori?" ”

Conan pointed in the direction across the road, "Uncle Maori couldn't find a clue, so he went to the café to rest, and he probably will go back soon." ”

"Oh, what about you? Can't you find a clue either? Xia Ruo stared at Conan in front of him and asked.

It's just that what Xia Ruo didn't expect was that Conan's answer this time was very direct.

"Can't find it."

Conan shook his head.

"I don't even understand it at all, so I can only see if you have any way, after all, your observation and reasoning skills are better than mine."

"Ugh."

Xia Ruo naturally doesn't know how to say, he doesn't know how to reason, and he relied on the plot advantage to solve the case before.

"Tell me, what kind of case is it?"

Xia Ruo looked around and said, this is just an ordinary convenience store door, I don't know what Conan brought him here for.

"This case is a disappearance, a high school student has disappeared here, fifteen days have passed, there has been no news, the client is the father of the missing person," Conan said in a deep voice.

"Kidnapping? Did any robbers call? Xia Ruo said subconsciously.

"No, after the high school student disappeared, there was not a single phone call to his home, and the neighborhood was searched, but there was no suicide or his murderous body, and the police searched everywhere and there were no clues."

Conan pointed his finger at the location not far from the entrance of the convenience store.

"This is it, the high school student disappeared here after buying snacks such as cups of noodles and potato chips at the convenience store and was about to go home, the time was about nine o'clock in the evening, and the surveillance saw his disappearance."

Speaking of this, Conan's eyes became solemn, and his gaze glanced at the surveillance at the door of the convenience store.

"It is very strange that the high school students in the surveillance disappeared directly in the surveillance, and the surveillance did not break or be cut, this strange sign is like a well-known legend...... Hidden. ”

"Shen Yin?"

For Shen Yin, Xia Ruo couldn't be clearer, after all, he had also been to the world of Shen Yin Girl and knew what the real Shen Yin was.

This is also a kind of Japanese culture, in Japan, some missing cases, after no one can be found, will also be defined by the police as a god.

"Well," Conan nodded, "There are two explanations for the legend of the Divine Concealment, one is that the gods made you disappear, and the other is that you were 'hidden by the gods and monsters', entertained by them, and disappeared from human society with unknown whereabouts. ”

"I searched everywhere, his home, and his school, but I couldn't find any valuable clues, as if the boy had really disappeared from the world."

Just as Xia Ruo was talking to Conan, a middle-aged man with glasses walked across the road, it was a middle-aged man who looked supposed to be very cheerful, but his face was very haggard at this time, and there were thick dark circles around his eyes.

It was as if I hadn't slept well for many days, and the depths of my eyes were bloodshot.

"Little brother, Mr. Maori is leaving, you should hurry up, by the way, this is ......"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man with glasses looked at Xia Ruo.

"Hello, I'm a detective, my name is Xia Ruo."

Hearing that the other party was a detective, there was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the middle-aged man in glasses, and a smile was forced on his face, "Hello Mr. Detective, my name is Kenichi Natsuki." ”

Kenichi Natsuki.

Xia Ruo suddenly had some impressions of this name, could it be ......

"Conan, the missing high school student, what's his name?"

"Ah," Conan was a little unresponsive to Xia Ruo's question, but he answered immediately.

"The missing high school student is called ......"

"Natsuki Pleiades."
