As soon as Mori Kogoro, who walked into the door with a large bag and a small bag, came home, he was greeted by the gaze of the high school students sitting in a row on the sofa in the office.

In an instant, Mori Kogoro remembered what he had seen in the documentary, when the parent birds worked hard to bring food back to the nest, and saw a row of chicks that had not grown even their hair whining, and waiting for food with their mouths wide open.

An indescribable exhaustion arises spontaneously, and Mori Kogoro suddenly empathizes with housewives who need to take care of the family's diet.

It's really tiring to take care of these little things that don't work......

"Hattori can't find that kid?"

Soon, Mori Kogoro heard that his blood pressure was higher.

"If it's just that his mobile phone can't be reached or can't be reached, it may not be a big problem, but the same is true for Miss Toyama." Tang Ze nodded and described the problem, "The possibility of two people losing contact at the same time is too small. ”

"They are time-minded people, and they have already agreed in the morning that they will wait for us to come back from school and have dinner together." Maolilan's brows were also furrowed, "If there is any special situation, I think they will inform us." ”

"Tang Ze said, you know the person they went to find today, so we came to ask you." Kudo Shinichi looked at Maori Kogoro, looked at his face, which was also relatively day and night, and sighed in his heart.

I've been a fake elementary school student for a long time, and now I can't speak with a big grin, and I can't get used to it after using some honorifics.

"You really like to worry about what you can get out of by visiting a detective?" Mori Kogoro muttered, but still took out his phone and rummaged through the address book, "Okay, then I'll call and ask." ”

Tokyo's detective industry is well developed, and there are naturally many detective agencies that have become bigger and stronger - this is why Amuro used the reason for starting a business to start a detective agency, and no one even thinks it is strange - but the nature of the work is here, and the expansion of the industry is still limited.

After all, the detective is not a lawyer, and he doesn't even have an introductory exam, what he pays attention to is a personalized customization, one-to-one service, and most of them are still alone.

Therefore, the cup detective agency, which can have more than a dozen people under its umbrella and can also rent office space, is already a leader, and Mori Kogoro certainly has the contact information of their person in charge.

"Ah, it's Maori...... Are you looking for Nanchuan? With a smile, how to listen to the middle-aged male voice with the temperament of a merchant came out through the speaker, "What, mahjong is missing a partner again?" ”

"No, no, I haven't had time to play with these lately......" In the face of his daughter's instantly sharp gaze, Maori Kogoro tensed his scalp and waved his hand again and again, "I have something to do with him, something serious." ”

"What else can you do with him?" The other side seemed to know Maori Kogoro's style very well, and laughed twice, "But it's unfortunate that you came, in the past two or three days, he can't contact Nanchuan." ”

"It's been two or three days since you lost contact?" Maori Kogoro's expression was a little more serious, "Didn't you call the police?" ”

"As a detective, it's not strange that you can't find anyone for two or three days when you encounter something. He said that he had chased a big case and wanted to follow it alone, but I saw that he had found a fat sheep and wanted to eat alone, and he didn't know where to squat. The person on the other side of the phone obviously didn't take it seriously, and the tone of the answer was very casual.

"Then did anyone else go to your place today to find Nanchuan? It's about the age of a high school student. Mori Kogoro hurriedly asked.

"Yes, two of them came at ten o'clock in the morning. It's a student from Osaka, a man and a woman, right? The person on the other side gave an exact answer, "I told them that Nanchuan has not been there recently, and they asked Nanchuan for the address of his home and left." ”

"Is the address of the residence convenient for me?" Okay, Kakuto-cho 4-chome has a ...... of Hatoso"

After recording the address, Mori Kogoro looked out the window at the rain curtain and sighed deeply.

With such a heavy rain, I used to have to wait to greet the guests, but now I have to find out where the guests are going......

"Let's go find someone, Uncle Maori." Before Maori Kogoro opened his mouth to make a decision, Tang Ze took the initiative to stand up, "Everyone rushed to find someone, and it was rude for someone to find that dinner had not yet been settled." ”

"Huh? Just a few of you and Conan? When Maori Kogoro counted the heads, he subconsciously brought the child who had been too quiet for the past two days.

Conan, who was sealed by fire and cold, was so silent in the past two days that he often couldn't remember that there was such a person, and the little ghost who used to be so annoying in the past lost his mouth and suddenly became well-behaved and cute.

Sure enough, one of the big things about the bear child is the noise decibels.

"No, Conan has a cold, and if you go out on a rainy day and get wet again, you'll get a fever." Tang Ze shook his head and denied it.

"Even if you don't want to, this little ghost ......" has long experienced Conan's style of stalking and squeezing the murder scene into it, Maori Kogoro habitually complained.

Who would have thought, Conan agreed.

"yes, okay." Wearing a mask, Ai Gray Hara put his hands in his trouser pockets, trying to imitate Conan's usual style, but he could still feel the quietness.

Tang Ze nodded with satisfaction at his sensible sister.

The real Conan brought it over, and with football, it can still be incorporated into the combat effectiveness, so what kind of excitement will the gray plain mourn be brought in?

With the supervision of Sister Mingmei, the children in the dead house have indeed increased the frequency of morning exercises, and the progress of physical fitness is visible to the naked eye, but in the fight situation, it is useless for the calves to thrash faster.

After looking at Conan in shock for a moment, and then at Karasawa who smiled and approving for a moment, Maori Kogoro muttered in his heart.

Does Tang Ze's speech work so well for children? I've never seen Conan so obedient before, right?

It seems that it is best to call Tang Ze for the next investigation, even if it does not help the reasoning, as long as it can play the role of suppressing the bear child, it is also a merit......

"It's inconvenient for you high school students to go to Kakutomachi, and you don't have a driver's license. Or ......" Mori Kogoro, who was already uneasy, stared at the bag of vegetables for a few seconds, and his mood fluctuated again.

It's hard to say which is more frightening to stay at home and handle so many dishes, or running out to find a high school student who has lost their hands.

"I'll ask Mr. Amuro for help." Of course, Tang Ze, who had prepared the back road in advance, did not leak, "Don't worry." Mr. Amuro has been driving for so many years, but he has zero violation records. ”

Because when he needs to violate the rules, either he doesn't drive his own car at all, or the traffic police can't catch up with him at all.

Tang Ze added in his heart.

"That young man downstairs......" Remembering that as Akechi Goro's boss, Toru Amuro could be more or less regarded as a detective, Mori Kogoro relaxed slightly, "Then you guys hurry up, don't look for someone for too long, the food is cold." ”

"No problem, we've got it!"

————

It didn't take long for Amuroto's Mazda to stop at the downstairs of Arihatusu in Kakuto Town, and four mermaids rushed out.

Then two of them, Moriran and Shinichi Kudo, grabbed the handrail of the stairs outside the apartment and retched on to their chests.

"Is that why you asked us if we ate before you got in the car?" After a long pause, he said weakly, "The last time I took Mr. Amuro's car, it wasn't like this......

Last time, because of Tang Ze's miracle, they were escorted by several supermen, and they experienced a frightening night when the mountain was closed by a blizzard and forced to stay overnight.

At that time, Amuro Toru, who was responsible for identifying the direction in the vast snow and leading the way to press out the ruts, drove the car very steadily, which made Mao Lilan not understand the reason for Tang Ze's question at all.

"That's because last time the situation was special, Mr. Amuro was responsible for being the head of the team in the snowy environment, so he drove more restrained." Tang Ze, who was already used to it, stood firmly on the ground with his feet and looked at the two high school students who had never seen the world sympathetically.

How about it, is it fun to sit on Gundam?

"Tang Ze ......" slowed down for a long time, and finally got through the nausea caused by vertigo, Kudo Shinichi raised his head through gritted teeth, "You, you call this driving steadily." ”

"On such a slippery and rainy day, Mr. Amuro can drive around the congested main road in twenty minutes, right?" Tang Ze, who pretended not to understand, said unashamedly, "The situation is urgent, I haven't found Hattori yet, time is life." ”

Although it is a fact that Amuro drives like a Gundam, he knows how normal people drive, but he does not regard his driving skills as ordinary skills.

Generally speaking, if there is no emergency, he drives really steadily, rarely brakes sharply, and can drive F1, but he is indeed an old driver.

Who told Kudo Shinichi to say that they were going to find the missing Osaka high school detective?

Tang Ze can only say that he can't help it, did you choose an idol.

"Room 202, not far from the stairs." Amuro, who had parked the car, approached, looked at the three high school students, and shook his head, "You still need to exercise, you two." ”

Two high school students, one who plays a small kicker and the other who have studied karate for many years, and who think they have good physical strength, are not convinced.

"How can we exercise this, we don't want to choose pilots......" Kudo Shinichi complained quietly as he held his head.

Tang Ze, who had all the detective's complaints in his ears, silently looked down at the back of his exposed head.

It's hard to say. You may not have a chance to fly a fighter plane or something, but with the likes of civil airliners, you have many opportunities in your life.

While the two dizzy high school students had not yet eased up, Amuro glanced at Tang Ze with squinted eyes, and then at Kudo Shinichi, his eyes were full of the meaning of "Trouble, right, you wait for me".

Conan, who does not exist, is none other than the missing high school student detective Shinichi Kudo, who Karasawa told him personally.

And now, Kudo Shinichi himself, who should never appear in theory, not only returned safely, but also appeared at the same time as Edogawa Conan, saying that Tang Ze did not know, and anyone who knew a little bit about Tang Ze's nature could not believe it.

This also means that if it weren't for Hattori's unexpected situation, I didn't have time to pay attention to Amuro Toru of Teidan recently, and I was sure to miss important information.

- To put it simply, Kudo Shinichi must have a close connection with the missing Shirley, and Tang Ze knows all about it.

Raising his index finger and nodding Tang Ze in the air, Amuro Toru temporarily pressed the table, and returned his attention to the matter in front of him: "This is the house of Mr. Nanchuan they are looking for." ”

As soon as I walked to the door, a handwritten notice was clearly posted on the door, and the text on it clearly indicated that the head of the household was temporarily absent.

"'I'll be back before noon, if you have a courier package, please leave it at the landlord on the first floor.'" After picking out the key information, Amuro nodded, "It's Mr. Kusukawa's tone." This is not a fake. ”

"Do you know Detective Kusukawa too?" While Mao Lilan was surprised, he finally understood the reason why Tang Ze chose to call Amuro to help.

It seems that Mr. Amuro, who wears many hats and works in cafes all day, seems to be uninterested in the entrepreneurial part, but in fact he mixes well in the industry.

"Of course, the cup detective agency is a relatively large one. There is always a correspondence between peers. The tone on his lips was relaxed, but Amuro's gaze was still unrelaxed, and he swept all the places in the door in the fastest time.

"It's the brand logo on Hattori's hat." As soon as he stood in front of the door, Shinichi Kudo, who immediately entered the state, pointed out the faint marks on the door, "It seems that he and Miss Toyama did not bring umbrellas, this is the water mark left by his hat." ”

"Well, normally from the cup office to this apartment, considering that he is unfamiliar with the route, he should have arrived at the door around 11 o'clock, saw the notice, mistakenly thought that Mr. Nanchuan would return at noon, and waited for a while." Amuro pointed to another mark that was less than waist high, "This may have been left by Hattori-san sitting on the door when he was tired." ”

"Almost." Shinichi Kudo, who gestured to the position, nodded in agreement.

"Mistakenly?" Mao Lilan's reaction was not slow, and he grabbed the message in Amuro's words, "Doesn't this notice mean that he will go home in the afternoon?" ”

"I guess Mr. Kusukawa had planned to return home soon, but something prevented him from coming back." Amuro gestured to the scotch tape on the crack of the door at his feet, "A simple detection device to make sure no one has sneaked in." ”

It's a very simple method, which can be described as common sense for undercover agents who need to be careful and careful on weekdays, so he found out very quickly.

Regarding the missing Kusukawa, Amuro knows a little.

Because he often participates in gambling, Nanchuan has almost no savings on him, and he has a new income, which will soon be sent into the gambling game.

Therefore, Nanchuan, who has a very high demand for money, has always liked to take risks and pursue high returns in high risks, which is very in line with his gambler's mentality.

He always walks by the river without getting his shoes wet, and it is normal for him to be extra cautious in terms of personal safety.

"Yes, now the tape is not only peeling off, but there is a lot of dust stuck to the glue surface. It's been out of service for a while. Kudo Shinichi bent down to observe the short section of scotch tape and gave his own judgment.

He could find that Hattori, who was not weak, had no reason to stay at the door for so long.

Shinichi Kudo, who was finally convinced that Hattori had an accident, frowned.

Regardless of whether the actual effect was as expected, Hattori came from Osaka to help him.

If the other party is in danger in Tokyo during this time......

"Hattori doesn't leave the door for no reason, he must have found something." Tang Ze, who was standing behind them, said, "Suppose he is tired of waiting, sit in this position, and take advantage of the situation to see the tape at hand." Then he will definitely ...... next"

Tang Ze stretched out his hand, grabbed the doorknob of the apartment directly, and turned it vigorously.

The door to the apartment opened.

"Not at all, is it not locked? Someone has broken in! Maolilan covered her mouth in surprise and looked at the empty apartment hallway, then looked left and right at the three people around her, "Is this the detective?" It's amazing. ”

The three of them, who really had detective ranks, smiled at her.

"Hattori is also a great detective." Looking at this small pigeon cage, Tang Ze reminded.

"Yes, he's certainly not going to miss it. Go inside and have a look. Kudo Shinichi is very sure.

He can rummage unscrupulously at the scene of the murder, and he has no psychological pressure to break through the empty door, and he is familiar with finding the only living room door of the small apartment.

"Creased paper."

"Well, look at this indentation, it's naturally bent because it's stuffed at a right angle."

"The intruder didn't notice this, the location was dropped naturally. Drawers, or cabinet doors...... Drawers, I guess. ”

"I can't see what was taken."

"There's pencil powder on the table, it's new, and you can smell a little bit of it."

"I think Hattori did it after he came in. I look at the size of the trace. Well, about 10 centimeters square......"

"There you have it, a notebook."

"Well, Hattori probably scribbled the first page with a pencil to confirm the contents of the torn page. There's still a little bit of pen marking, and this page is pretty adequate. ”

"Kenhashi, Ito......?"

"There are phone numbers, but the numbers are written lightly, and they can't be read clearly across the page."

"It's good to have a direction."

"You're right."

Tang Ze, who didn't plan to go into the sliding door at all, walked leisurely to the door of the living room, and raised his eyebrows at Mao Lilan, who didn't react.

What did he say before? You can't think of detectives as an ordinary profession, right?

The detective in this world is more like a profession than a profession, and ordinary Muggles can't do it.

“…… Ay. Seeing the two people who had been walking around the room lightly for a few minutes, and had already completed the direction of the investigation, Mao Lilan was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong? You and Kudo grew up and haven't been used to this kind of scene? Tang Ze looked at her strangely.

"No, I just think that if this is the norm for detectives, it's no wonder that the police rely on detectives so much. So it's not surprising that Dad has been a detective for so long, and it wasn't until this age that he accidentally broke into fame. When Mao Lilan said this, there was even a little sigh on his face, "He used to be a policeman, so he may not be suitable for this profession." ”

If you summarize the talent shown by Shinichi, Hattori, and even Akechi-kun in the detective profession as a genius boy, Mr. Amuro, who is even a waiter and a halfway monk, is a detective with first-class observation and excellent reasoning skills, this is a bit ......

"It seems that Mr. Kusukawa is really missing." Speaking of this, she couldn't help muttering, "He used to be a policeman, so his business ability should be average." ”

Now it's still a policeman.,Toru Amuro, who feels like he's been hit by several arrows in the back:"......"

took over the real behind-the-scenes planning of Maori Kogoro's debut, and Kudo Shinichi, who couldn't refute it for a while: "......"

"Poof-cough-cough-cough......" This is Tang Ze, who completely understands all the jokes and holds back his laughter quite painfully.
