Chapter 80: Taking the lead

"Who is it?"

A middle-aged woman who was not in good shape opened the door and looked through an iron gate at Yuanhuaiyu outside the door.

She is Hirota Masami's wife, Hirota Toshiko.

"Hello, madam, I'm here to see Professor Hirota. One of his students asked me to come here to pick up something."

Yuan Huaiyu touched his face to confirm that there was nothing wrong with his disguise.

"Which student asked you to come?" Hirota Toshiko did not intend to open the door until he asked clearly.

"Do you know Mrs. Miyano Akemi?"

Hirota Toshiko suddenly understood and said "Oh——" and opened the iron door.

"So he's Mingmei's friend! Please come in. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Mingmei's child for a long time!"

She welcomed Yuan Huaiyu in with a smile on her face.

"Mingmei is an excellent girl, kind, optimistic, and beautiful...by the way, young man, you are not her boyfriend, are you? Why didn't she come with you today?"

Toshiko Hirota had a very good impression of Professor Hirota as a student.

Yuan Huaiyu waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, she is my sister. She went to a far away place not long ago and couldn't come back for a while, so she asked me to help her come to Professor Guangtian to get some things."

The two walked into the house talking and laughing. Hirota Toshiko shouted upstairs: "Old man Hirota! Someone is looking for you!"

"Who is it?" A slightly older but energetic voice came from upstairs.

"Akimei's friend!"

A few seconds later, a cheerful old man came downstairs.

"Hello, Professor Hirota, I am a friend of Miyano Akemi. She asked me to pick up some magnetic disks that she sent to you before."

"Oh oh oh! Mingmei's friend! Please sit down."

When he heard Miyano Akemi's name, his mood seemed to brighten a bit.

After all, in the eyes of him and everyone else who knew Miyano Akemi, this girl was like an angel, and almost everyone disliked her.

Hirota Masami turned his head and called to his wife: "Toshiko, hurry up and serve tea."

"No, no, no, I'll take the disk and leave. I'm sorry to bother you so late." Yuan Huaiyu smiled.

"Okay. Young man, come with me."

Hirota Masami took Yuan Huaiyu upstairs and came to his study.

Next to the computer in the corner of the study room, there was a stack of magnetic disks neatly placed. Hirota Masami asked Yuan Huaiyu:

"Young man, what kind of magnetic disk did Mingmei ask you to get?"

"She said that when she sent back the magnetic disks with travel photos last time, she accidentally mixed in a few magnetic disks with documents..."

Before Yuan Huaiyu finished speaking, Hirota Masasi slapped his head.

"Oh! What are you talking about? I said what's going on? It turns out it was Mingmei who sent it by mistake."

Hirota Masami rummaged through the pile of magnetic disks for a while, picked out three of them, and handed them to Yuan Huaiyu.

"Here, here are those magnetic disks."

"Thank you." Yuan Huaiyu took the magnetic disk, thanked him, and wanted to leave, "Then I won't disturb your rest..."

Hirota Masami smiled and waved his hand: "What a pity. If I hadn't had a few students coming later, I could have chatted with you about Mingmei's current situation."

"The last time I saw her was a long time ago. I wonder how she is doing now?"

Yuan Huaiyu remembered that he had received news from Miyano and his wife today, saying that Miyano Akemi had reunited with them, and cried so hard...

"She's fine now, please worry about it." Yuan Huaiyu replied.

"That's good, that's good."

Hirota Masami said with a smile and walked downstairs with Yuan Huaiyu.

"Then I'll take my leave."

After bidding farewell to Hirota Masami and his wife, Yuan Huaiyu felt that the old professor was quite a nice person.

Walking outside, he sighed.

"Oh... let's help him a little bit."

For such a kind old man, Yuan Huaiyu couldn't bear to see him killed by the aura of a primary school student, the god of death.

He waited patiently where he could see the main entrance of Guangtian House.



"Masami Hirota?"

Conan repeated the name.

"But I don't know where he lives." Haiyuan Ai looked at him.

"Just ask the school about this." Conan quickly proposed a solution.

Just as they were told, the three of them raced against time and soon got Professor Hirota's address and phone number from the school.

After I answered the phone and explained my purpose to Masami Hirota on the other end of the phone, a confused voice sounded from the receiver.

Dr. A Li pressed the hands-free button on the landline so that Conan and Xiao Ai could hear what Professor Hirota said on the other end of the phone.

"What? Magnetic disks recording travel photos? Who are you?"

"Ah, I..." Dr. Ali was speechless for a moment, looked at Haibara Ai for help, and blinked.

Haibara Ai immediately understood what Dr. Ali wanted to ask, and said: "Miyano Akemi. My sister's name."

But when Dr. Ali conveyed the name, the three of them heard Professor Hirota on the other end of the phone suddenly become excited.

"What? Miyano Akemi?"

"What's wrong..." Dr. A Li was a little at a loss.

"Miyano Akemi is indeed my student, but someone just came to take some magnetic disks?"

"!!!" The three people's eyes widened instantly.

Conan rushed to the phone and asked urgently: "What magnetic disk was taken? Who took it?"

"There were some strange magnetic disks among the magnetic disks I took when I was traveling with my students last time. They were taken away by a man in a black trench coat. He claimed to be Mingmei's friend."

Conan and Haiyuan Ai looked at each other, dumbfounded.

As soon as they heard the sensitive word black, they immediately thought of the organization.

"Damn it...were those guys the first to do it?"

Conan gritted his teeth, filled with annoyance.

The manufacturer of the drug that made him smaller was standing beside him, and at the same time he had clues about the drug information. As soon as he saw the glimmer of hope, he found that this glimmer of hope was extinguished ruthlessly.

"Based on this description, they should be right. But they may not have taken away all the magnetic disks. If we rush there now, there may be hope."

Although Haibara Ai was also disappointed, she was a bit calmer than Conan and put forward an idea.

She was quite confused in her heart. Based on the organization's style of conduct, it stands to reason that anyone who comes into contact with things related to the organization, especially such confidential information, will be silenced, and all the tapes will definitely be taken away.

But this time, the men in black only took away those special magnetic disks, and Professor Hirota was still able to talk to them without incident, which made Haibara Ai a little puzzled.

Is it possible that those guys have changed their gender?
