Chapter 003: The Trick of Tracking
"Sorry, I haven't found ......... yet"
Looking at the anxious man in front of him, Maori scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
In front of him is the customer who entrusted him to find a cat, a man dressed in black, what does it look like............ In short, it is not the type of benevolent eyebrow.
"To be precise, I found it and then ran away.........
Seeing that the man was indifferent, Maori pointed to the scratched wound on his face, as if to explain that he was not lying.
This was proposed by Katayama yesterday.,According to the deadline of the commission.,The other party will come to pick up the cat today.,That's why Maori will be looking for the cat in the middle of the night.,Because it's about to come to the deadline.,He wants to card the line to complete the task.。
Katayama asked Mori to postpone the customer for two days for the time being, and if he postponed it for two days, he would find a way to find out if the customer was a cat sadist.
When the time comes, consider whether to return the cat.
After a night of ideological struggle, Mori finally reluctantly agreed to Katayama's proposal after Xiaolan smashed the coffee table in two with one punch.
"That, what is your coffee table........."
The man didn't seem to care at all what Maori was saying, just looked at the split wooden coffee table in the middle.
"A little accident, an accident, in short, a cat thing ........."
Maori awkwardly turned the conversation back to the cat, he didn't want to say that his daughter had punched the coffee table like this in order to intimidate him.
"The cat thing, I'm roughly clear, the time limit or something is put aside, as long as you can get the cat back, please, this cat is really important to me!"
The man solemnly shook Maori's hand, looking like he loved cats, which caught Maori a little off guard, after all, the potential impression of this guest on him was a cat.
"Oh, okay........."
Maori agreed as he looked at Conan in the shadows, this was the first step in the investigation, and let Conan, who had great discernment, observe the man first to see if he could detect anything.
Conan shook his head, then pointed to the doorway with his chin and motioned for Maori to send off first.
Maori also agreed, agreed to the man's request, and then sent the man out of the Maori detective agency.
………
"How's it going, do you see anything?"
Maori hugged his chest with his hands unhappily, obviously he was the detective, why did he have to listen to the inferences of the little ghost.
But the imp often gave him some surprising hints.
"At the moment, it can be seen that he is an alcoholic, and the rest is difficult to confirm."
Conan pondered, this man should have some anti-reconnaissance means, and deliberately disguised some of his characteristics before going out, otherwise he shouldn't not be able to see anything, but this is even more suspicious.
He even suspected that the man had other bad behaviors besides abusing cats.
"That doesn't confirm that he's a cat sadist, maybe he just likes to drink."
When it comes to liking to drink, he understands it too well, what's the big deal about drunkards.
"Well, it's just that the drunkard really can't explain anything, so Mr. Katayama is already downstairs ready ........."
Conan looked at the departing back of the man outside the window, thoughtful.
……………
"Okay, so it's time for my track........."
Katayama watched the man walk away from the street and estimated that the distance was almost there, and he should not be discovered when he went out at this time.
This is the tracking technique that Conan gave him last night, as long as he is careful, the other party is just an ordinary person.........
It was agreed at the beginning, whether Conan saw something important or not, he would come out of the store and follow the guy.
As long as it is confirmed whether the other party is abusing the cat, he will come back to report the results, and then discuss with Maori and them whether to return the cat.
"It's just a cat, and it's too much of a fuss........."
Mori sat on the sofa and watched Katayama follow the man with a cautious look downstairs, and couldn't help but be a little staggered.
Is it necessary to do this degree for the sake of a cat?
He felt too stupid, but because Xiaolan wanted him to do this, as a father, how could he refuse his lovely daughter's request.
Not to mention his daughter's combat effectiveness......... Alas.
Forget it, let's just let them young people mess around this time.
Thinking so, Mori stopped dwelling and turned to watch the video of his dear Yoko Okino.
…………
Katayama followed the man to the outskirts of Tokyo, which should be the most remote part of the city's periphery.
He even suspected that there was no neighborhood surveillance............
The man walked around the corner of the street and left Katayama's line of sight.
Well......... Conan popularized science, the tracking object suddenly disappeared from his sight, this situation needs to be paid special attention, because it is very likely that the other party has discovered you and is preparing to fight back, this situation must not panic, and you must carefully confirm the other party's location.
So Katayama slowed down and prepared to go to the corner of the street to find out, he had to be careful here, if the other party really found him, maybe he would use the blind spot of his vision to plot against him.
It's a pity that everything is still in his expectations! Scold......... As long as he slowly sticks his head over, he can see the other person clearly.........
………………
Shiho Miyano stays in the laboratory, petting a white cat.
It was white and unblemished, out of place with the other animals in the filthy lab's iron cage.
A pair of bright blue eyes gleamed in the dimly lit room.
"That guy, even if it really runs out, it will be fine, you should know best."
Shiho looked at the white cat's worried expression and smiled comfortingly.
The white cat nodded, no longer staring at Shiho, but at the cold iron cage, unable to imagine what life was like here.
That guy chose to run away because he couldn't stand it anymore.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and a man dressed in black stood at the gate, still carrying a person in his hand.
I saw that he threw it into the laboratory dissatisfied, his expression a little flustered, as if he had done something wrong.
"Lady Shirley......... I was stalked by a pervert......... Shouldn't you kill him........."
The man pointed to Katayama, who had been knocked unconscious on the ground, and looked like he had been defiled, a little angry.
“……… Perverted? ”
Shiho is a little puzzled, perverted? What a pervert can stalk you abominable guy!
"I'm looking for the lost Experiment No. 1 today...... When I came back, I was in a hurry to urinate, and I was just around the corner to try to solve it......"
As he spoke, he looked indignantly at Katayama on the ground.
"And then this guy, the thief stuck his head out of the corner and looked at me all at once!"
