It's dark at night.

It's early in the morning, and the night is thick.

However, the moon is as bright as yesterday, and one can't help but think that this month's Full Moon must be very beautiful.

The Doctor and Conan led the elementary school students out of the apartment building, and when Conan went out, he found Officer Takagi and said something, and then the group left the sight of Kaedehara and Ashbara.

Kaedehara stood in the building for a moment, watching them leave the apartment building before leaving, and Gray Hara followed him.

"Kudo..."

Leaving the apartment building, Gray Yuan looked around, did not find the car he saw upstairs before, and breathed a sigh of relief, "There was a car downstairs before..."

Gray Yuan Ai wasn't actually sure that the car was following them, but she had a gut feeling, and after a moment's hesitation, she still spoke.

"That car has been with us for a long time."

Gray Yuan was stunned for a moment, "You already knew?" ”

"Well, on the way here, this car is right behind us. On the way, we waited at the intersection for a red light and waited until the green light turned yellow again, but the car never responded. ”

Kaedehara explained as he walked, "It's because they didn't want us to know about their existence, so they didn't honk their horns so as not to attract our attention. ”

This is a principle that the police will basically abide by in surveillance.

“……”

"But that's okay," Kaedehara continued, "if nothing else, Officer Takagi is now interrogating them on the grounds that they have been on the sidelines of the crime scene for a long time, and they won't follow us." ”

Conan was naturally in charge of that.

Conan also wants to use Dr. Asasa to reason about the case against the Twilight Police Department after going to the police station.

Silence then fell in the air.

Gray Yuan Ai still had something to ask, but she didn't know how to say it for the time being, and she didn't feel it appropriate to say it outside, so she just silently followed Kaede Yuan through an alley, and then stopped in front of a black sports car.

This is obviously not the taxi that Kaedehara told the elementary school students before, and the doctor helped to call. There was no light in the car, and the billboard next to it blocked the moonlight, and Gray Yuan Wai couldn't even see the person in the driver's seat clearly for a while.

Before she even had time to think about why Kaedehara had brought her here, Kaedehara helped her open the door of the back seat.

Anyway, Kudo won't hurt himself...

Gray Yuan Ai did not hesitate, and sat directly inside, and then moved his body to the other side to make room for Kaede Yuan. It wasn't until Kaedehara sat next to her that she noticed the person in the driver's seat.

"Little mourning!" The man looked back and said, "Isn't that surprised?" ”

"There is Kiko... Sister," Gray Plains was indeed a little surprised, "but..."

"But I should be on the plane now?" Kudo Yukiko said, "It's all because of Shin-chan!" Really, this kid is just as good as his father... I had no choice but to adjust my itinerary..."

"Thank you..."

"Don't be so polite," he looked at Kaedehara through the rearview mirror, "How's it going over there?" ”

"Everything is going well," Kaedehara glanced at the message he had just received on his phone, which was from Conan, "but the car came straight to us." ”

"Oh... Then it's time for us to go. ”

Yukiko Kudo said thoughtfully, then started the car and stepped on the accelerator, away from the Toto Developer in the night.

Gray Yuan looked at Kaedehara, a little unsure of the current situation.

"We were going to go our separate ways after watching the movie," Kaedehara explained, "I left in a car with you, and Conan and Dr. sent Ayumi and them home... See who that car will choose to track..."

"But what I didn't expect was that you just went to someone's house to sleep for a while and then encountered a murder case," Yukiko Kudo took over, "so I borrowed the car again and came straight over." ”

"Conan would make an excuse for Officer Takagi to inspect the car, and he would go with him, so that he would not only test the men, but also allow us to take advantage of the opportunity to get out of their sight...

And Conan just sent a message saying that the car did not follow him after being questioned, but came back to us. ”

Kaedehara briefly explained their new plan.

And the other party's reaction meant that the car was not going for Conan, nor for Yukiko Kudo, who was supposed to have left Japan, but for himself or Gray Hara, just like yesterday's car.

Gray Plains was clearly aware of this.

After a moment of silence, Gray Yuan raised his head, "I've been discovered by them... Isn't it? ”

The words were clearly referring to the organization in black.

"Little mourning..."

Yukiko Kudo worriedly looked at Ai Gray Hara through the rearview mirror.

"Don't worry," Kaedehara said, "I don't think it's them." ”

"Huh?"

Gray Yuan looked at Kaedehara sadly, and Kudo Yukiko was also a little surprised.

"Because their tracking is so... Gentle," Kaedehara pondered his words, "It's not quite like the style of the organization. ”

"And, remember the guy who ate burgers in the car outside Uncle Maori's house in the morning?"

"That's the one who is watching, too?" Gray Plains asked.

"Hmm." Kaedehara said, "Conan has long mentioned that someone is spying on Uncle Maori's house. Also, the name of the burger that the man ate had the name printed on the wrapper, and I knew that... Before you came, the doctor loved to eat delivery from that store...

However, the shop was only open at night, and given his mental state at the time, I thought he was there all night watching, and he bought food in advance and kept it in the car..."

It was probably time for the shift change, and the man was a little relaxed.

"So he's spying on Shinichi?" Yukiko Kudo asked.

"It shouldn't be, Conan went out during the day yesterday and didn't go back at night, if the other party has been monitoring him, there's no reason why he can't notice, since the other party knows that Conan is not there, he still keeps watching all night... I think he might be spying on Uncle Maori. ”

"Kogoro?" Yukiko Kudo looked even more confused, "So what's there to monitor?" ”

"Officer Takagi told Conan the other day that the files of Uncle Maori's case were stolen and sent back... Ostensibly this is investigating Uncle Maori, but Conan and I think it's trying to lure someone out...

These people are staring at Uncle Maori probably because of this, and if these people are the ones who are being lured out... Then they may have a common enemy with us..."

Kaedehara continued.

In fact, in what he just said, he deliberately omitted a few points.

First of all, the tracking started a few days ago.

Secondly, he and Conan are ostensibly twins, and they only need to change their clothes and glasses to disguise each other, so even if the other party's target is himself, he shouldn't just leave Conan alone...

This means that the matter is not just what he just said to Gray Plains, the other party is coming for him or Gray Plains...

The other party's goal is very clear, that is, to mourn for the gray plain.

……

Back at the doctor's house, Gray Yuan Wai washed up and went to sleep.

Although Kaede Yuan analyzed it, it was obvious that she was still preoccupied.

"Shin-chan," Kudo Yukiko watched Ash Hara leave the living room, "I thought you would hide everything from her and silently protect her... That kid isn't as strong as he seems..."

Although, I still hid some of it...

Thinking like this, Kaedehara said, "I know. However, in many cases, she is much stronger than others think..."

Listening to Kaedehara's words, Kudo Yukiko stared at him for a long time, and then suddenly began to knead his face, "I really didn't expect it, I haven't seen you for a while, Xiaoxin, you are actually fascinated by other girls, mom, I'm going to be jealous..."

Kaedehara struggled cooperatively, making Kudo Yukiko's teasing pleasure a little more pleasant, and then changing the subject again in a way that he had only used during the day, "Speaking of which, Mom..."

"There's one more important thing I need your help with..."

Of course, he couldn't delay Yukiko Kudo's travel plans just to let someone pick him up.

And even though it was not suitable to speak at the time, he only said that, and Yukiko Kudo agreed without hesitation.

……

Conan, on the other side, after confirming the other party's tracking target, went to a nearby police station and reasoned about the Twilight Police Department alone in the name of Dr. Asasa.

The murderer was the developer Yoshihiko Negami.

In the messy crime scene, black tape was attached to the table and many objects, and under the black tape, a little fluorescent tape could be seen.

This was meant to dampen the light.

Ordinary people can't see fluorescence right away when the lights are turned off, but they can notice small spots of light as long as they stare at the tape after their eyes get used to the darkness.

And relying on the point of light, coupled with the familiarity with the objects at the scene, the murderer can pass smoothly without bumping into anything.

Keihiko Negami turned on the lights as soon as Conan turned them off, just because he was worried that others would get used to the darkness and noticed the light.

In order to accurately pierce the deceased's heart in the dark, Negami Keihiko also coated the button near the deceased's chest with fluorescent material, and in order to avoid being discovered by the police, he ripped off the button and took it away.

Conan asked Dr. Asa to deliberately lift the button and make way for it to trick him into putting the button that had been wiped off the fluorescent material back into the room, so as to avoid being guessed because the button could not be found on the spot.

Kaedehara wasn't sure if Conan's plan would succeed, but considering that this was the world of Kexue, he didn't think it should be a big problem.

Before that, in the night, the person in the black car, who had searched back and forth several times but had not found the target, dialed the phone.

On the other side of the phone was a man in a black tool cart and a knitted hat, who was none other than Shuichi Akai.

"Really?" Akai Shu said while driving the car, "I lost it..."

"Forget it, the clue is not broken anyway, let's continue..."

And the prey is not hungry and not in a hurry.

Shuichi Akai hung up the phone, then looked at a set of photos in the passenger seat.

The top photo is in front of the Dongdu Development Office, a tea-haired little girl is looking back and calling a little boy, and the little boy is looking back at the camera, as if he is aware.

"It's like..."
