Chapter 12: One Step Late

Thirty minutes later.

When they came to the apartment building where Masami Hirota was.

Conan said to Yuyuki Agasa, "You wait for me downstairs, if I have three long and two short." So there's someone out there to help me. ”

Yuyuki Agasa heard Conan say this and felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

And if you go with Conan, it won't be good in case you startle the snake.

However, Yuyuki Asasa is for Conan's safety.

So I asked Conan if there was a locator or something like that that could locate your location.

When Conan heard this, he immediately got out of the pocket of his blue suit.

Pulled out a detective armband.

After Yuyuki Agasa picked up the detective armband in his hand, he asked in a suspicious tone, "It's just such a gadget, are you sure I can see your location." ”

Conan knew the reason for Yuyuki Agasa's suspicions, so he immediately handed his round-rimmed glasses to Yuyuki Agasa.

Yuyuki Agasa, who took the glasses from Conan's hand, asked Conan, "Which one are you doing?" ”

Conan immediately introduced: "You open a button at the top of the right eye socket, and you can take a look." ”

When Ali Yuki heard Conan's words, he pressed the button.

Sure enough, it was originally in the state of clear lenses.

Suddenly, beside him, a red dot appeared.

Seeing Yuki Asasa in the red dot position, he immediately felt relieved.

However, Yuyuki Agasa is on the safe side.

He also went to the convenience store near the door and bought shoe covers that Conan could wear.

And put the shoe cover over Conan's shoes.

In Conan, who put on shoe covers, he teased Yuyuki Asasa and said: "You are worthy of being a former FBI agent, and you are so skilled in even hiding footprints, you haven't been doing a lot of sliding door locks before." ”

Seeing Conan's evil smile on his face, Yuki Agasa directly rewarded him with a chestnut shot.

Conan, whose head was knocked red, could only complain with a complaining face.

Turned around and went to the house provided by Officer Twilight, Masami Hirota.

Soon, when Conan came to the door of Yoshimi Hirota's house.

He noticed that under the potted plant in front of the door, something seemed to be pressing underneath.

Conan immediately crouched down and picked up the potted plant that had been placed in the doorway.

Soon, Conan found the key under the potted plant.

He immediately picked up the key and opened the door of Masami Hirota's rented apartment.

After entering Masami Hirota's house.

The sound of his breathing was immediately forcibly suppressed.

Because he doesn't know if Masami Hirota is still at home at this time.

After he cautiously entered the living room of the apartment.

The whole living room seemed to be empty.

And looking at the clean and tidy appearance of the living room, it shows that she is a person full of cleanliness.

However, when Conan looked at the decoration of the living room.

Something was wrong.

Because on the left side of the living room, there is actually a table.

And the corner of the table seems to be intentional.

blocked the socket placed on the wall.

Attentive Conan after discovering this scene.

He immediately walked to the vicinity of the table, and then he moved the side that blocked the corner of the socket table.

Conan was surprised to find that the wall socket was actually removable.

Soon, Conan easily removed the wall socket.

When Conan removed the wall socket.

Again, he looked surprised, because it was inside the small hole of the socket.

There is a key with a number plate on it.

This confuses Conan.

Just as Conan was thinking about whether to take the key and discuss with Yuyuki Asasa what to do next.

Conan was attacked in the back of the neck.

Conan, who fell to the ground, endured the pain in the back of his neck.

He turned his head to see who had attacked him.

When he found out that it was Masami Hirota, he immediately shouted, "Why are you doing this?" ”

The corners of Masami Hirota's mouth only smiled slightly, and then she turned around and left the living room.

Conan saw Masami Hirota, who was about to leave.

He immediately threw a button-shaped locator into the pocket of Masami Hirota's pants.

Luckily, the button-type locator managed to enter the right pocket of Masami Hirota's baggy pants.

Looking at Conan, who had already left his sight, Masami Hirota.

He immediately pulled out the spare badge from his pocket.

Yuyuki Agasa shouted, "I was attacked by Masami Hirota, and she has now gone downstairs." ”

After he finished speaking, he hurried out of the room.

Rendezvous with Yuyuki Agasa.

When Conan ran to the door of the apartment building.

Yuyuki Agasa, who had been waiting for a long time, said to Conan suspiciously: "I looked at the positioning point on the glasses, why did I suddenly have one more." ”

Conan immediately complained to Yuyuki Asasa and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, that extra anchorage." It was the locator I installed on Masami Hirota. ”

Later, Conan asked, "Do you see the direction of Masami Hirota's departure clearly?" ”

Yuyuki Asasa immediately stopped a taxi.

In the taxi, Yuyuki Agasa, who was sitting in the back seat, said to Conan next to him: "I saw her leave the door of the apartment and immediately left here in a red car with a license plate of 12-14. ”

When Conan heard this, he hurriedly said to the taxi, "Master driver, can you do me a favor..."

The driver, who understood Conan's meaning, immediately stepped up his horsepower and followed the red sedan driven by Masami Hirota.

At 6 p.m., at the door of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Rice Flower Town.

Masami Hirota shouted at the empty warehouse, "Where are you, didn't you say yes..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching her behind her.

After Masami Hirota turned around, he saw a black trench coat with long silver hair. A man with a cold and murderous look in his eyes.

The other is wearing a black suit, square-framed sunglasses on his face, and has a burly figure. Although the face looks very honest, it is actually a hard-hearted vodka.

It's just that because of the sunset.

Masami Hirota could barely see their faces.

Just when Masami Hirota wanted to say something.

Gin asked directly, "What about the money?" ”

Masami Hirota asked rhetorically, "What about my sister!" ”

Gin replied naturally: "It seems that you really don't know the current affairs, do you really think that we will care, the billion yen in your hand!" Your sister is worth more than a billion yen! ”

When Masami Hirota heard his words, she immediately asked, "I really didn't expect you!" ”

Gin looked at Masami Hirota's gritted teeth, and suddenly laughed arrogantly.

Then, at Gin's signal, Vodka pulled out his pistol directly.

Hit Masami Hirota in the chest.

With the shirt on the latter's chest, a blood-red liquid instantly appeared.

Masami Hirota's body fell to the ground weakly.

Gin and vodka, looking at Masami Hirota who fell to the ground and was dying.

A seeming laugh appeared on his face.

Then they walked briskly away from the door of the abandoned warehouse.

Shortly after the vodka gin leaves, the belated Conan and Yuyuki Asasa arrive.

Seeing Masami Hirota lying in a pool of blood, Yuyuki Asasa immediately ran to his side.

And lifted her body.

Masami Hirota, who already feels that the limit has come, she is strong.

He took out the key in his pale brown pocket and handed it to Conan, who was standing in front of him.

Conan looked at her pale face and hurriedly asked, "Cheer up!" ”

Masami Hirota looked at Conan's concerned face, and suddenly showed a faint smile.

She then hurried to say her last words to Conan.

"Actually, I've known for a long time, since the day I joined the organization. My end was already sealed, but the day came too soon. ”

Conan looked at her resignation and exclaimed with a crazy face, "No, it won't. I'm sure things will turn around. ”

Masami Hirota looked at Conan's innocent appearance and smiled again.

But as she felt her breathing harder.

She hurriedly said to Conan, "I'll tell you where the key is, in..."

After Masami Hirota said where the money was hidden.

Masami Hirota's eyes slowly closed.

The body also went limp directly.

Conan touched Masami Hirota's body, which was slowly becoming cold.

I couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Yuyuki Agasa, who is still holding Masami Hirota's body.

He immediately scolded Conan, who was standing in front of him, crying bitterly: "Now is not the time to cry! If your crying can make all the bad guys die well, then I want you to cry non-stop, even if you can't shed tears, I will use chili water, onions and other irritants to make you cry! But in fact, does your impotent crying really work, it will only make the dregs of those organizations live more and more freely, you know? ”

Reprimanded by Yuyuki Agasa like this, Conan immediately stopped crying in his eyes.

Then, very naturally, he dialed Officer Twilight's number.

Let him handle the situation on the spot.

In the end, despite the robbed of one billion yen, Conan and they successfully recovered.

But in Conan's heart, Masami Hirota died.

It's still an inextricable scar in his heart...
