Next door to Yugong House is a residence called [Sanchi].

"You agreed to prepare supper for Xiangzi tonight, but did not Xiangzi come back as promised?" Guangyan said in surprise.

"Yes," the mother-in-law of the Michichi family nodded worriedly. "We agreed that she and her dinner were here for us and lived in their own home... But are you sure she didn't go to school? When I was taking out the trash this morning, I saw her going to school with her schoolbag on her back!"

"Ah?" The young detective team was shocked. "Go to school?"

Since she went out when she was taking out the trash, she should have the chance to get the bottle of milk... Why didn't she take it?

"Yes," the mother-in-law of the Michii family nodded. "This morning, it was a little earlier than the normal school time. I wondered why she left so early! I asked her why she was so early, and she said she wanted to go to the Sunday Mart convenience store on the corner first."

"Convenience Store..." Qian Yu immediately called out this map in his mind, and locked the location of the convenience store - the direction of the school was completely different. Generally speaking, the other party had no reason to go there.

And what’s even more strange is that there is another convenience store on the way to school, so why do you have to go around a long journey?

With such confusion, Qianyu and the others arrived at the convenience store, but they gained even greater confusion.

"The girl we are looking for, came this morning, probably like this..." Qianyu asked after handing the image of Yumiya Sukako sketched in her pencil to the store manager. "Do you have any impression?"

"A girl like this..." The manager glanced at the sketch, and then his eyes swayed on the sketch and Ai Haibara several times before he made a clearer judgment. "Oh, for that girl, I did come here once this morning, and I should have bought bottled juice, boxed milk, and a carry-on knife..."

Juice and milk? Also bought a knife?

Qian Yu felt that the whole incident was too weird - there was no doubt that Yumiya Xiangzi knew what she was going to do, and her thinking was clear. But for some reasons, she was unable to go home on time.

In this way, if you want to find where the other party is, you should first consider where the other party went - wait a moment, maybe there is another way?

If it is difficult for them to infer where Yumyoko wants to go with these things, it is much simpler to infer why she has not been in trace for so long. As for why, it is because in this case, Yumyoko's current situation is mostly related to a type of building.

That's the hospital.

Children do not go home on time often for two reasons. One is that they are addicted to something and forget the time; the other is that they cannot go home due to a certain situation.

If she was addicted to something and forgot the time, it was actually unlikely that this would happen to Suko Yumiya: she went out in the morning, but there was no news in the 10 hours so far. Because she carried her schoolbag, she could at least determine that [she really planned to go to school after performing a specific behavior]. Even if she was a little late because she didn't pay attention to time, she would never delay until now.

Then, it must be the second situation - she bought milk, juice and knife in the morning to perform a certain job, and went to school after the execution. But in the process, some situation occurred, which made her unable to attend school.

Their location is a luxurious area in Tokyo, and the idea of ​​Arimiya Sukiko originally planned to go to school on time limit her activity radius. Therefore, if she encounters some danger within this range, she will definitely be discovered by pedestrians in the area and sent to the nearest hospital immediately (if she dies from a murder, she will probably be sent to Mihua General Hospital.)

So, what they should do now is contact nearby...

Thinking of this, Qianyu's expression suddenly became subtle - because he suddenly felt that there was no need to discuss these matters anymore, at least there was a hospital where there could be priority for investigation.

Because he received a phone number dialed to Sukiko Yumiya's family, and the phone number came from the new doctor's clinic where Belmode was located.

...

"Why is it such a coincidence?" Doctor Xintuo looked at Qianyu in front of him with a wry smile. "Forget it...you mean, she is your classmate?"

"Yes, how could she be here with you?" Qian Yu also followed her helplessly. "So, where is that classmate Yugong Xiangzi?"

"Here." As he said this, the new doctor pushed open a ward door.

On the hospital bed, Ayumiya Xiangzi, who Qianyu had seen in the photo, was lying on the bed and asleep.

"Um..." Qian Yu's expression was quite subtle after seeing Aomiya Sukaru. "This..."

"What's wrong?" Belmode noticed Qian Yu's abnormality and asked casually.

"I feel that if I close my eyes, it is indeed a bit similar to Haiyuan?" Qian Yu's mouth twitched. "But I don't know why, when I saw her photos at home before, I always felt that... the image of Haiyuan could not be coincidental, a bit like..."

"Cute?" Belmode immediately understood what Qianyu wanted to say. "Do you think this little girl obviously has a pure feeling and lacks the maturity of the big girl?"

"Do you think so too?" Qian Yu seemed to have found a confidant.

"No, I think you are full of cuteness," Belmode ruthlessly exposed Qianyu's self-feeling. "Well...of course, considering that you are some older children, you may be less cute. You will only show embarrassment when you confront the wise among adults head-on, right? But unfortunately, in my opinion, you are just children with less childishness."

"Woo..." Qian Yu expressed a little dissatisfied, but was unable to refute because he knew that what the other party was saying was indeed the truth.

"~" Belmode smiled and rubbed Qianyu's head. He was about to say something, but he heard her cell phone ringing.

Accompanied by Belmode's frowning expression, Qianyu took out his cell phone number gossip - and then he found out that the phone was from Hoshino Kaede.

As for the content? That was more surprising to Chiyu than Hoshino Kaede calling Belmode himself.
