At night, in the Maori Detective Agency—

Mori Kogoro, who was drunk, was leaning back on a chair in the office of the office, snoring and falling asleep.

On the table in front of him, there were a bunch of empty beer bottles, and under the pile of empty wine bottles, there were unfinished lunch boxes—

Since Xiaolan didn't come back to cook tonight, Maori Kogoro simply went to the convenience store to buy a boxed lunch to eat, and at the same time, because there was no Xiaolan's control, Maori Kogoro, who didn't receive the commission, bought a lot of beer wantonly, and drank a lot in the office, causing the current situation.

In this regard, looking at Kogoro who was still in the office, Conan just looked helpless-

Originally, Conan, who had finished washing, was preparing to sleep, but seeing that it was past ten o'clock in the evening, but Xiaolan had not come back, Conan, who was a little worried, couldn't help but change his clothes and came to the office of the office on the second floor, ready to call Xiaolan to ask, and saw this scene in front of him.

However, just as Conan came to the desk and opened the beer bottles stacked on the phone, Conan, who had not had time to call, saw the phone ringing, and the caller ID happened to be Xiaolan's mobile phone number-

"Hey! Sister Xiaolan! ”

In a hurry, Conan took the earpiece and asked a little nervously.

"Hey, Conan? What about my dad? ”

In a hurried tone, Conan heard Xiaolan's very anxious voice.

"What's going on, Sister Xiaolan?"

Conan didn't ask:

"Uncle's words...... Now next to me......"

Looking at Maori Kogoro, who was lying on the chair and falling asleep, Conan could only reply helplessly.

"Hurry up! Let my dad go to room 404 of Rice Flower Apartment! The sooner the better! Otherwise, Miss Yukino is going to have an accident! ”

Xiao Lan finished saying this sentence in a voice that was so anxious that she was about to cry, Conan naturally heard Xiao Lan's emotions and realized the urgency of the situation, so Conan hurriedly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, looking at Maori Kogoro, who was still asleep and didn't look like he was going to wake up at all, Conan knew that he definitely couldn't count on him, so he ran alone towards the rice flower apartment not far from the office-

Panting for breath, Conan, who rushed to the door of the rice flower apartment, came here earlier than everyone else.

He stood in front of the elevator door and anxiously pressed the elevator up button, but after waiting for a while, he saw that the elevator would not go down, and when he was about to take the stairs, the elevator began to move down.

At this time, Conan glanced at the watch in his hand, and it was now ten thirty minutes in the evening.

Suddenly, just as Conan saw that the number of floors displayed by the elevator was about to reach the first floor, a man with an unusually ugly face rushed down from the stairs next to the elevator.

He seemed to be in a hurry, and rushed out of the building from Conan's side.

"This ...... It seems to be the teacher of the puppet classroom where Xiaolan was in class recently, right? ”

Although Conan suddenly thought of where the man just now seemed to have seen him, but when the elevator door finally opened, he didn't have time to think about it and rushed into the elevator.

As soon as he came to room 404, although the door was closed, he recalled Xiaolan's anxious voice on the phone just now, so he unscrewed the doorknob without hesitation.

The door was unlocked, so Conan opened it and looked through the crack in the door—

"Is anyone there? Hmmm......"

Conan suddenly noticed that the metal chain on the door had been severed and drooped staggeringly, and suddenly a bad premonition came to him.

"Anyone?"

Conan opened the door wider, shouting louder inside.

However, he did not hear any answer, and Conan had no choice but to take off his shoes in the hallway, and while observing the surroundings, he walked from the hallway into the living room.

"This ...... This is! ”

On the floor of the living room, Conan saw a lot of blood left on the floor.

But at this moment, a familiar, hoarse voice came from behind Conan—

"Miss Yukino! Miss Yukino! ”

Xiaolan didn't even take off her shoes, so she ran into the living room.

"Conan! Why are you here? Where's my dad...... Did you see Miss Yukino? ”

Seeing Conan, Xiaolan's eyes widened in surprise and asked.

"This ......"

In the face of Xiaolan's inquiry, Conan didn't know how to explain for a while, after all, he was a child now, and he was afraid that he would make Xiaolan angry if he came here alone.

"Leave this ...... alone"

At this moment, as Gao Yuan ran into the living room, and after realizing that only Conan had come in advance, he roughly understood the situation, so he changed the topic:

"Conan, did you see a woman living in this room?"

Takato stepped forward and asked Conan.

To this, Conan shook his head:

"When I got here, no one was there."

As he spoke, Conan's gaze shifted to the living room floor.

So, following Conan's line of sight, Takato also noticed the traces of stars on the floor-

"This ...... Bloodstains......"

Squatting down and taking a closer look, Gao Yuan frowned.

"Miss Yukino...... Where's Miss Yukino? ”

At this time, the garden, who had just run over, panted and leaned on the door frame, anxiously asking everyone in the house.

In this regard, Gao Yuan got up and looked around the living room, and then checked all the rooms again, making sure that there was no figure of Izumo Yukino in the room, and his expression couldn't help but be a little solemn-

"Xiaolan, what the hell is going on? You said there was an emergency and I was asked to come over. ”

Soon, from the entrance came the voice of Officer Wataru Takagi:

"Huh? Mr. Wise is there too? ”

Wataru Takagi was surprised to see everyone in the living room, so Ran explained the whole thing to Wataru Takagi, who didn't know why.

After listening to the narrative, Wataru Takagi was taken aback, and immediately knew that this was not a problem that he could deal with alone, so he directly chose to report it.

After a while, Officer Twilight and Officer Miwako Sato arrived at the scene in a police car with a whirring alarm bell.

"So, in the middle of your video call, Miss Yukino Izumo was attacked by the famous puppet maker Hisasuke Hisake, right?"

Officer Twilight, who had a round face and a mustache, asked everyone, and Xiaolan and Yuanzi both nodded heavily, but Gao Yuan did not give a positive answer-

After all, there is no direct appearance of Kusuke in the video.

"It's unbelievable! I've watched a TV show about Mr. Kubo, and he seems to be such a gentle person. ”

Miwako Sato said with a surprised expression.

"But that's not the case at all, Kubo is a very despicable and shameless guy!"

Yuan Zi said with a look of disgust.

In this regard, Officer Twilight ignored Yuanzi's emotions, and instead turned to Takato and confirmed:

"Wise brother, then next up, Miss Yukino Izumo said that Kubo is here, and walked away from this computer, right?"

Officer Twilight asked, looking at the laptop that had been untouched on the table.

……

At the same time, in the study of the wise house, Xiao Ai, who was sitting in front of the computer, was seriously preserving the record of the video chat between Takato and Izumo Yukino before.

It seems that out of guilt for what he did to Gao Yuan yesterday, Xiao Ai did it very seriously in helping Gao Yuan, and at the same time carefully rewatched the content of the entire video chat, maybe this can help Gao Yuan.

However, as the timeline of the video progressed, Xiao Wai, who had been focusing on the young lady in the video, suddenly noticed something, so he couldn't help but pause the video, and then enlarged the puppet on the cabinet behind Yukino Izumo in the picture-

"This ...... It's ......"

After carefully examining it for a moment, Xiao Ai's eyes suddenly widened, as if she saw something from this puppet......
