Chi Feichi and a group of people walked to the stairs and found that Conan was missing.
"Perhaps Edogawa went to the bathroom," Haibara Ai didn't give anyone else a chance to speak. She dragged Dr. Agasa and walked back, "The doctor and I went to take a look. There's not much time left before the competition starts.
You go downstairs to check first, and we will meet you when we find Edogawa."
"Really," Genta complained speechlessly, "Why does Conan always leave the team without saying anything."
"Yes," Mitsuhiko seriously suspected that Conan had seen some clues and followed him. "If you find any important clues, you must tell everyone."
Chi Feichi also felt that Conan was leading the children badly, so he walked downstairs and reminded the other three children, "Don't imitate him. Be sure to tell an adult when you leave, otherwise you will get into trouble."
.”
The three children immediately made a positive statement, saying that they would never be like Conan. As for their credibility...
Chi Feichi decided to keep some doubts in his heart, and just hoped that the naughty children could make people worry a little bit, and that would be enough.
Behind the nearby corridor, Conan was still calling Mao Lilan in the voice of Kudo Shinichi. Hearing Mao Lilan talk about accepting the commission and participating in the beauty pageant, he smiled in a relaxed tone, "Participate in the Miss Japanese beauty pageant..."
That is the biggest beauty pageant in Japan, so you have to work hard!"
Haibara Ai and Dr. A Li arrived nearby. When they heard what Conan said, they also understood that Conan was calling Mao Lilan as Kudo Shinichi. They reached out to hold Dr. A Li and stood behind the corner without going over to disturb them. By the way,
Help a famous detective keep an eye on the neighborhood.
Mao Lilan originally had some minor emotions such as nervousness and dissatisfaction with a certain person's frequent disappearance, but listening to Kudo Shinichi's relaxed and smiling voice, her heart calmed down, "Well... I will work hard, but participating in the beauty pageant is just
By the way, the most important thing is to protect Miss Hualien!"
"Yes, yes," Conan smiled and continued in Kudo Shinichi's voice, "Anyway, Brother Chi has already explained it in detail. Just do what he said. If you encounter any problems, just give him
Just call him, he can solve it!"
"Shinichi..."
On the other side of the phone, Mao Lilan's voice was a little muffled, and she called softly, but nothing came out.
"Ah?" Conan heard that Mao Lilan was in a bad mood and was startled, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing," Mao Lilan slowed down and her voice returned to normal, but her tone was still a little slow, "Is there anything else you want to tell me? Or do you have something to do?"
Conan belatedly discovered the problem and hurriedly said, "I'm still free today...if you encounter a problem, you can also call me. Although I'm not there and may not know much about the situation, I will
I’ll try my best to help you!”
He believed that Chi Feichi could handle emergencies that occurred here. As Conan here, he would probably stay with Chi Feichi from time to time and follow Chi Feichi to check. If Xiaolan encountered a problem, he could also help solve it.
, but Xiaolan didn't know that he had actually been with Chi Feichi for a long time, and he didn't know that he was here, so he asked Xiaolan to go to Chi Feichi when he had a problem, but he didn't mention himself at all, which seemed very disrespectful to Xiaolan.
I take Lan’s matter to heart...
"Well!" Mao Lilan's voice was really full of energy, and she couldn't help but tease, "How come you followed Conan and the others and called them 'Brother Chi'? I thought you would follow me and call me 'Brother Fei Chi', or
He's called 'Mr. Chi' like everyone else. I don't know why, but when I heard you suddenly call him Brother Chi, I always felt like you were acting coquettishly..."
"Huh?" Conan choked, "Like a coquettish person?"
"Maybe it's because the children like to call him Brother Chi. I and Yuanzi will call him Brother Fei Chi, especially Conan. Every time he calls Brother Fei Chi Brother Chi, I feel like he is acting coquettishly towards Brother Fei Chi.
"It's really cute!" Mao Lilan said with a smile, "So when I hear someone call him Brother Chi, I always think of the voices of children..."
"Is that so..." Conan had a dark line on his face and wanted to say, 'Conan didn't act coquettishly to that guy either', but he decided to find a reason for the name he just casually said first, "I think calling him like this is better than calling him that."
Call him 'Mr. Chi' and get closer to him, because he is uncle's apprentice and your friend, and he is also older than me..."
"That's right. If you call him Mr. Chi, I feel too alienated," Mao Lilan said without thinking too much, and smiled in agreement, "He has always taken good care of me and my father. I also hope that you can become good friends in the future.
, and I think you will definitely get along well with each other."
Conan complained silently in his mind.
Of course, he and Chi Feichi are so familiar with each other. When he changes back to Kudo Shinichi, the two of them will get along well...
"And the Nanatsuki sister I mentioned, she is also a detective, and she is a very easy to get along with. She seems to like Brother Feichi very much. You have never met her, right? When you come back next time and you are free, we will
Let's go out and play together," Mao Lilan had endless words to say. After she felt better, she thought about not being too willful and added, "As for today...if you are very busy, you'd better go and do your thing.
I think we should be able to..."
Suzuki Sonoko's angry voice came from the other end of the phone, "Asshole! Why do you have to leave it to others to help you with whatever your wife encounters?"
Immediately, the voices of Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko became much quieter. In the few words that came over, Mao Lilan was explaining, "Xinyi didn't say he wouldn't help because I was worried about delaying his work."
Conan smiled when he heard this. Although he wanted to chat with Mao Lilan for a while, but thinking that they had to go to the venue to check, he was ready to end the call, "Xiaolan, I..."
The next second, severe pain spread all over Conan's body. The ubiquitous burning sensation in his body seemed to melt his bones, making it difficult for him to breathe. The unspoken words were stuck in his throat, and they only became...
A low cry of suppressed pain.
"Xinyi, I'm sorry, Sonoko was talking nonsense next to me..." Mao Lilan explained. Hearing a voice that seemed to be painful coming from the phone, he paused and said, "Did something happen to you over there?"
Conan moved the phone away, took a deep breath, held back the pain, and allowed himself to breathe more steadily before continuing to talk to the phone, "Ah, it's okay, a cat suddenly ran over just now and scared me...
…That’s it for now, you go prepare for the game quickly and contact me if you have anything else.”
"Ah...ok," Mao Lilan said with a smile, "If there is nothing unsolvable, I will call you again in the evening to talk about my feelings and thoughts about protecting a great beauty for a day!"
"OK……"
Conan waited until the phone hung up, then stretched out his hand to support the wall, lowered his head to breathe, and suddenly heard a rapid breathing similar to his own behind him. He turned around and saw Haiyuan Ai walking towards the wall with a pale face, his face changed slightly, "Haiyuan Ai was holding on to the wall.
, are you also..."
Dr. Ali followed Haibara Ai in panic. Seeing Conan also looking in unbearable pain, he became even more panicked, "Xiao Ai, Shinichi, you, what are you..."
"Speaking of this, Kudo should be more experienced, right?" Haibara Ai felt her body trembling unconsciously due to pain, but she was still in the mood to look at Conan and tease, "It's the experience of changing back."
"Yeah," Conan didn't refute Haihara Ai's teasing. He looked up at the surrounding environment, reluctantly walked to the elevator, and gasped, "We'd better find a place where no one will go... definitely not here.
…”
Dr. A Li hurriedly looked at the deserted corridor, quickly walked to the elevator, pressed the elevator button, and turned to look at the two people who were sweating profusely and followed them, "Go, where should we go?"
"I don't know much about this place... But since the hotel is not officially open to the public, it might be better to go to the underground floor..." When Conan saw the elevator door open, he walked directly into the elevator and reached out to press the bottom 'B3'
'Press the button and wait for Dr. A Li to help Haibara Ai come in. He immediately presses the door close button and watches the elevator door close. He feels relieved because there are no other people in the narrow environment. Looking at Haibara Ai who is leaning against the elevator, no.
He gasped for breath and asked, "Haiyuan... is it because of that cake?"
"It must be," Haiyuan Ai's face turned pale and his expression became calmer, "The wine added to that cake... is probably Baigan wine, although we did not drink that wine when we had a cold, and the intake was not large.
,but……"
Seeing that Haibara Ai couldn't finish her words due to pain, Conan accepted the words with a clear face, "But other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything that can cause us to react like this."
There are not many people staying in the hotel that is not open to the public. In addition, most of the people staying in the hotel are related to the Miss Japanese beauty pageant. They are all preparing for the competition at the moment. Therefore, no one is using the elevator used by guests, making the elevator go smoothly.
We arrived at the third underground floor.
"Ding!"
The elevator door opened again. Dr. Ari first looked around to make sure there was no one outside. Then he walked out of the elevator eagerly and looked around, "This seems to be leading to the underground parking lot. There may be people in the underground parking lot."
In the past, I still had to find a place where no one would go...Ah, over there! There is a room over there!"
At the reminder of Dr. Ali, Conan and Haibara Ai also saw the door with the sign "STAFF ONLY" at the end of the corridor. They immediately nodded, dragged their heavy bodies, and followed Dr. Ali to the end of the corridor.
Staff passage, no idlers are allowed to enter.
In this way, when their bodies change, they can also prevent hotel guests from breaking in. As for the hotel employees, as long as Dr. Ali says at the door, "Wait a moment, someone is doing a security check inside," there should be no one.
In a hurry to get in...
Dr. A Li opened the door first. After seeing that there was no one else behind the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and then looked worriedly at the two people who walked in with difficulty.
There are rows of storage racks in this room. The racks are all filled with clothes and towels in baskets. There are also fifty-centimeter-long square pipe openings on the roof. When the three of them looked at the environment, they found a bag filled with
The laundry bag of clothes slipped from the pipe opening and fell into the numbered basket.
"So this is it," Conan walked among the storage shelves, turning his head left and right to look at the plastic baskets around him, "the laundry room where dirty clothes are collected in each room..."
"This is just right. When we get older, we still have clothes to change into..." Haiyuan Ai looked around and walked towards the door on one side, "I'll go to the operation room."
"Then I'll be watching outside," Dr. Ali closed the door of the laundry room, not forgetting to worry and warned, "If anything happens, just call me!"
