"Am I...," Conan said expressionlessly, "should I thank you for not keeping me in the dark this time?" ”

Kaedehara blinked innocently.

Yesterday, Conan followed Uncle Mori and Xiaolan to find Kenzo Hirota and came home late, so he couldn't help but sleep lazy today.

As a result, he didn't be "lazy" for long, and he was woken up by the phone, and then found the note left by Xiaolan on the table.

After learning that Uncle Mori and Ran had gone out to find Kenzo Hirota, Conan answered the phone himself.

The call was from Kaedehara.

He was then summoned to Dr. Kasasa's house by Kaedehara, and then told him what had happened.

After learning the news of the organization, Conan was obviously very excited. But then he realized that this time he was the last one to know, and he became depressed again.

That's why there is that yin and yang weird saying.

Looking at the innocent Kaedehara, Conan scratched his hair a little helplessly, thinking that although he was the last to know this time, at least he didn't know until the end of the matter as before, and he felt a little better, so he sighed and said, "Okay... I still have questions, though. ”

"You didn't say how you found out." Conan questioned.

"I happened to meet Akemi-san on the way home that day," Kaedehara explained, "and then I ran into her by chance, and she was dressed up at the time. ”

That day, this guy Kaedehara was indeed with Hirota... Oh no, Akemi Miyano was out on time, Conan nodded, "So you're suspicious of her?" ”

"yes."

Conan didn't understand, "Just because of this?" ”

"That's because of this."

“… Well, and then what? ”

"Then I remembered that you had accidentally put a transmitter on Miss Akemi's watch—I saw them all," Kaedehara continued, Conan blushing a little, "and I followed the transmitter's signal to her the next day." You know the rest. ”

“… What about the case? ”

"I said it." Kaedehara said perfunctorily, "I called the taxi company and asked about Kenzo Hirota. ”

Conan was a little skeptical that he wasn't a good fit to be a detective.

He had also learned from Uncle Mori about Kenzo Hirota's situation at the taxi company, and he knew that Kenzo Hirota often ran back and forth on one line - but he didn't connect it to the billion-dollar robbery at all.

Just because that morning, he and Kaedehara mentioned the robbery to him, and he thought about it?

Conan couldn't help but feel jealous of himself.

He also thought that he was the subconscious.

Conan, who had recovered after a while, decided to bring the matter to light: "Where did those two guys go?" ”

This is obviously a reference to Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo.

Kaedehara had already told Conan about his two returns.

"I'm going to see Ms. Akemi." Kaedehara replied.

"Why go out and see you? Here—" Conan said, and then reacted, "Still don't trust Akemi Miyano?" ”

Kaedehara nodded.

Although Kudo Yusaku believes in the judgment of "Kudo Shinichi", after all, it is about his son's safety, and after discussing with Yukiko Kudo, Kudo Yusaku finally decided to meet with Akemi Miyano outside, personally confirm her situation, and learn about gin.

So early in the morning, Yukiko Kudo put on makeup for the two of them, and then went out - although she trusted Akemi Miyano, but also for safety reasons, Kaedehara didn't tell her directly about the Kudo couple, only that they were trusted people.

The three will meet inside the Rice Flower Hotel.

Kaedehara originally wanted to follow along, as his keen perception helped ensure the safety of the meeting.

But...

"Don't underestimate my dad and me, Shinichi."

Kudo's words still dispelled Kaedehara's thoughts.

So Kaedehara took on the responsibility of explaining the situation to Conan.

In addition, Kaedehara also told Conan about the general framework of the plan jointly developed by Yusaku Kudo and "Shinichi Kudo".

"There's a question," Conan asked again after learning about the plan of action, "in that case, you'll have to find Kenzo Hirota first, right?" It's been so many days, and we don't have any clues. ”

"Oh... That's..."

Conan had a bad feeling in his heart.

"We've got some ideas." Kaedehara said.

……

Two days later.

Māori Detective Agency.

"I'm sorry! Give me some more time! Uncle Maori apologized on the other side of the phone, "Don't worry, I'll find it today... Right, right... This time by all means! ”

"Miss Masami calling again?" Seeing her father put down the phone, Xiaolan asked out loud.

"yes, call early in the morning and ask." Uncle Maori was a little depressed, "I haven't had any clues for so many days... That guy doesn't know what's going on, he doesn't deal with anyone, and no one among his colleagues knows where he's going..."

"Then do you want to look for it today?" Xiaolan looked worriedly at Conan, who was yawning on the side.

She herself really wants to help Miss Masami find her father, but she is afraid that Conan, who has been following her for the past few days because of the school holidays, will not be able to bear it.

Yesterday they came back very late, because they were in a hurry to sleep, so she proposed to wash with Conan, but she didn't expect Conan to refuse directly, and ran to sleep without taking a bath.

Conan must be tired, after all, he's just a child...

"Of course I'm going," Uncle Mori said, interrupting Ran's thoughts, "I don't believe there is anyone in this world who my detective Mori Kogoro can't find!" ”

"But you can't look for it that way!" Xiaolan objected, "Isn't there any clue?" ”

"Am I so tired if I have a clue?" Uncle Maori rolled his eyes and was about to get a can of beer to kill his worries, when he heard Conan ask.

"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Yami said that her father likes horse racing, right?"

"Huh? Have it? Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.

"It should be... Yes? Hearing Conan say this, Uncle Maori was not sure.

"Uncle, you like horse racing too!"

"So what!" Uncle Maori said that he had been busy for several days and had no time to watch horse races.

"That's right!" Xiaolan said, "Dad! You have the same hobbies as him, so think about where he might go! ”

"Where will it go? If it were me, it would be the racetrack—"

Uncle Maori was stunned for a moment.

"Xiaolan! What are the names of Kenzo Hirota's cats? ”

"Cats? Oh... I remember it was called Kuai, Emperor, Hao, Wang..."

"Hurry Emperor Haowang?" Uncle Maori, who had just looked excited, had his face collapsed again, "I'm not impressed." ”

Conan couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

The Emperor is the name of a very famous racehorse, and Uncle Maori must know it. He thought Uncle Maori had reacted just now.

I didn't expect to fall at the last step.

"Don't talk about that," said Ran, "shall we go to the racetrack?" ”

But in any case, the purpose was achieved.
