Uncle Maori and Ran sympathize with Miss Masami.

So is Conan.

The appearance of this rustic girl who looked about the same age as Xiaolan covering her face and sobbing was deeply imprinted in their hearts.

Uncle Maori feels that he has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and Xiaolan, who rarely participates in Uncle Maori's commission, is also high-spirited.

"Miss Masami, don't worry!" Xiaolan stood outside the door to see Masami Hirota leave, "My dad is a detective, he will definitely be able to find Mr. Hirota!" ”

Miss Masami turned her head, a sweet smile overflowing from her tear-stained face.

"It's so cute," Conan couldn't help but whisper.

Kaedehara couldn't help but glance at Conan, and then said goodbye to Uncle Maori and Xiaolan as well.

If it's too late, it's not suitable for children to go back alone.

……

Conan's previous enigmatic operation saved Kaedehara the effort of posting the transmitter himself.

After walking for a while, out of the field of view of the Maori Detective Agency, Kaedehara took out his tracking glasses from his pocket, put them on, and then knocked on the frame on the right.

The position of the transmitter is immediately visible on the glasses.

Because of Masami Hirota's crying, Conan seems to have completely forgotten about the transmitter.

Judging from the signal, Masami Hirota was not traveling fast, and it was very even, and it seemed that she had no intention of riding in the nearest car or running away quickly, so Kaedehara slowly followed from a safe distance.

Miss Masami walked for a while, turned a few corners, and stopped.

With memories that belonged to Kudo Shinichi, Kaedehara knew that it was a small alley.

Approaching softly, Kaedehara could hear Miss Masami's unsteady breathing.

There was no one else nearby.

Kaedehara thought for a moment, turned off his tracking glasses, then took out his phone, and then made a phone call to Dr. Asasa's house.

Masami Hirota stood in the dimly lit alley, looking at her own shadow under the streetlight.

Sometimes she thinks it would be nice if she was just a shadow.

Laughing self-deprecatingly, Masami Hirota took off her glasses and loosened her braided hair.

It made her look like Lan's peers anymore.

Now she is more like a beautiful woman in her early twenties.

She closed her eyes again, exhaled deeply, and calmed herself before opening them again.

At this moment, her eyes are not as weak and helpless as when she was in the Maori Detective Agency, but a little more determined and determined.

Then, a voice came from her side.

"Got it, grandpa, I'll go back now."

A little kid on the phone?

Masami Hirota, who was nervous when she heard the voice, breathed a sigh of relief.

But... Does this sound sound familiar?

The little kid stopped in front of him, turned slightly to the side and put down the phone. Even though the street lights weren't bright and couldn't really be seen, Masami Hirota recognized them.

Because she had only seen the child not long ago.

Be... Called Conan?

She hadn't paid much attention to the Maori detective's two children before, but vaguely remembered that the one with glasses had been said by the Maori detective.

Masami Hirota was a little nervous, worried that she would be recognized.

Kaedehara slipped his phone back into his pocket.

Masami Hirota, who was slightly stunned, looked at "Conan" and turned around and glanced at herself.

Then, a puzzled expression appeared on "Conan's" face, "Sister Yami? ”

Or recognized... Masami Hirota sighed in her heart.

Her previous look was hard to recognize even herself... Is it because you've seen it?

Masami Hirota suppressed her thoughts, "Yes." You're Conan, right? ”

"It's really you, Sister Masami!" Kaedehara said, "I thought I was wrong!" But... Sister Masami, you feel completely different after taking off your glasses. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm!" Kaedehara nodded, "Sister Masami and Sister Xiaolan felt similar before, but now..." Kaedehara showed a hesitant expression, like a child who didn't know how to describe it, "Now I feel older!" ”

Masami Hirota was about to speak, when she heard "Conan" continue: "That's right! Now it looks like a big sister in the workplace! Sister Yami, aren't you still in school? ”

"It's because mature makeup is trending in school," Masami Hirota bent down to look at Conan, "but it's not appropriate to meet a Maori detective like this, so I changed my dress." Conan helps his sister keep a secret and don't tell the Maori detectives, okay? ”

Masami Hirota doesn't want the Maori detective to know about it, and she doesn't want to be suspected of her identity until she finds Kenzo Hirota.

She looked like she was pleading with a little child.

And in fact...

Kaedehara looked into her eyes.

She was really pleading.

……

The next day, Uncle Mori began looking for Kenzo Hirota.

He first went to the taxi company where Kenzo Hirota worked before to inquire about the situation, but he didn't find anything, so he could only take the photos and start a carpet search.

However, despite the fact that Uncle Maori is very experienced in finding people, it is obviously very difficult to find someone in such a large city with only a few clues.

However, Uncle Maori's hard work, Kaedehara and Conan don't know, because they have to go to school today.

After school, Kaedehara made a rare attempt to decline an invitation from elementary school students to play football together.

If Conan was the one who refused, then Kojima Motota would probably carry Conan directly.

But the person who refused, it was Kaedehara.

Despite Kaedehara's relative quietness and never losing his temper, Kojima Motota found it difficult to apply his brutal attitude towards Conan to Kaedehara.

So Kaedehara left the school alone.

Thinking about how Kaedehara had been not right after school yesterday, Conan explained to the worried Ayumi and the others: "It's okay, he's just not feeling well for the past two days, just take a rest." ”

Conan really thinks so.

……

Kaedehara knew who Masami Hirota was, knew that she was in great danger, and wanted to try to save her.

There is a lot of bad things in this world, but he wants to try to make it what he wants it to be.

Even though he is small, he can't do everything.

After separating from the Junior Detectives, Kaedehara put on his tracking glasses.

Like last night, the light spot above has been moving, but not at a fast pace. Miss Masami Hirota also seems to be searching the whole city for Keizo Hirota.

The same is true at this time.

Kaedehara took a look and turned off his tracking glasses.

This thing is good for everything, but the battery life is really not good.

Soon, Kaedehara returned to Dr. Asasa's house, where he had some work to do before he could meet Masami Hirota again.

And then... Then he saw the wise man standing in the doorway, waiting for him.

“……”

Since he shouted "grandpa" on the phone last night, Kaedehara felt that something was not quite right with Dr. Agasa.

The phone call was just to check if there was a noise to see if Masami Hirota had a bugging device on her - and it turned out that there was none.

And he just didn't want the title "Doctor" to be heard by others.

He couldn't explain it that way, so he had to tell the doctor that it was a slip of the tongue.

But the Doctor was even happier.

Not only did he get up early to make himself an omelette for breakfast - this time there was no fried paste, but he also sent himself all the way out...

Kaedehara is not resistant... But it's just weird.

Thinking that as long as they get along normally, the doctor's inexplicable "enthusiasm" will probably subside in a few days, and Kaede Yuan thinks it's better to forget it first.

After greeting the doctor, Kaedehara took the glasses to charge them, and then waited while checking the information.

When it was completely dark, the point of light representing Masami Hirota stayed where it had been last night.
