Aipido-cho 2-chome, outside the small steel ball shop.
Uncle Maori followed Xiaolan and Conan dejectedly, muttering: "Damn it! Didn't I say there were so many beads that I couldn't stop them? How come I lost them all in just over an hour?"
"Please! Dad! Where can we find such a machine?" Xiaolan put her hands on her hips and turned her head to glare at her father in dissatisfaction.
As for the Conan kid, he had a "haha" expression on his face - he was dragged up by Xiaolan early in the morning, and he came here specifically to watch Uncle Maori play with small steel balls?
"...Forget it, since we have lost everything, let's go home." Uncle Maori sighed, and then suddenly cheered up, "Speaking of which, I recorded Miss Yoko's four-minute cooking time this morning, which was just right.
You can take a look. By the way, there will be Miss Yoko's weekly TV series tonight, and I will also review the previous episodes..."
Xiaolan and Conan suddenly had black lines in their heads.
The three people were talking and walked along the sidewalk along the street, not a hundred meters away. Suddenly someone on the roadside shouted: "Little one, be careful, I'm going to fall!"
Conan, Xiaolan and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they looked up together. They saw an advertising light hanging on the roof of the building slowly tilted, fell off, and smashed down towards Uncle Maori, Xiaolan, and Conan.
The Conan kid moved quickly and quickly jumped away. When he saw Uncle Maori directly below, he quickly shouted: "Uncle Maori, get out of the way quickly!"
Uncle Maoli just looked up at this time and saw the huge billboard crashing down. He said "Ah" and hurriedly hid to the side.
Xiaolan shouted softly, flew up and kicked Uncle Maoli on the butt.
Uncle Maoli said "Ah" again, ran to the side two or three meters away and fell to the ground with a "pop".
As for Xiaolan, she rolled over and hid aside. At this moment, the huge advertising sign hit the ground, making a huge noise, and some debris scratched Conan and the others, leaving some blood stains.
"Sister Xiaolan! Uncle Maori! Are you okay?" Conan asked loudly.
Xiaolan got up from the ground and touched the scratch on her arm: "I'm fine. Dad, how are you?"
Conan and Xiaolan ran to Uncle Maori together. Uncle Maori lay on the ground, twitching at the corners of his mouth: "My butt... seems to be rotten..."
Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I may have used too much force just now... However, this is so dangerous! We were almost killed..."
The Conan kid raised his head and looked at the roof. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly controlled his glasses, magnified the image, and ran towards the stairs next to him. As he ran, he shouted: "No! This is not an accident! Sister Xiaolan
, call the police quickly! There is someone on the roof!"
Conan's glasses have a magnifying function, and the person he just saw looked very much like Maehara Tsuyoshi!
But wasn't Tsuyoshi Maehara arrested? Why did he appear here?
Soon, the Conan kid ran to the roof of the building, turned around and looked back, but there was no one around.
Conan quickly walked to the wall, carefully observed the spot where the billboard was originally installed for a moment, and put his hand on his chin.
There is no mistake, this is definitely someone deliberately destroying the billboard, it is murder!
The target of the murder is Uncle Maori!
…
In front of the Cupido Hotel, several cars stopped.
The car door opened, and Shu Yunwen, Matsushita Heisaburo, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, Kuroba Kaito, Nakamori Aoko and others got out of the car, looked up at the fifty-story hotel building, and walked towards the hotel.
At the entrance of the hotel, when the receptionist saw Shu Yunwen and the others, he bowed and said, "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen."
Shu Yunwen smiled slightly, walked directly to the front desk, and asked: "Hello, I would like to ask, is the guest staying in room 2102 in your hotel here?"
The waiter at the front desk was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "You mean Miss Tachibana Tachibana? She went out this morning. Do you have anything to do with her? If possible, please leave your names.
, I will tell you when Miss Orange comes back..."
"No need." Shu Yunwen turned around and walked quickly towards the hotel elevator.
Koshizui Nanatsuki smiled and followed Shu Yunwen: "Tachibana Maya? Is this the real name of 'Killer Tachibana'?"
"Only the devil knows." Shu Yunwen said casually, "Since she dared to use this name to check in the hotel, it is most likely a fake name... Well, no matter what, let's go to her room and take a look first..."
Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded: "That's right."
Since Killer Orange is staying here, there might be some clues in her room.
The group entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 21st floor. Aoko Nakamori asked curiously: "Shu-san, is that 'Killer Orange' your friend?"
Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, he heard Kuroba Kaito say with his hands behind his back: "That's not it, right? Judging from the current situation, that 'Killer Orange' should really be a killer..."
As he spoke, Kuroba Kaito looked depressed - what the hell is this! He was obviously shopping with Aoko, but now he was looking for a killer? And he was with this guy...
"Ah? Really a killer?" Nakamori Aoko couldn't believe it, "Wasn't Shusang joking just now?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki replied: "Everything Shusang said just now is true. That 'Killer Tachibana' is a professional killer who is good at strangling people to death with weapons such as iron wires, and has killed many people..."
"Then we'd better call the police quickly." Nakamori Aoko looked worried, "My father is a policeman..."
"Don't be so anxious. Let's confirm her identity first and then talk about calling the police." Shu Yunwen waved his hand, "If there is a mistake, the police's visit will be in vain."
Several people talked, and the elevator quickly stopped at the 21st floor of the hotel.
After stepping out of the elevator, the group walked a few steps and saw the room with the door number 2102.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki pushed the door and tilted his head helplessly: "The door is locked, we can't get in at all..."
Asamiya Shino immediately bowed and said: "Master Yunwen, I will contact the hotel staff and ask them to come and unlock the door. I believe they will give me face..."
"There's no need to go to such trouble!" Kaito-san looked at the door and took out an iron ring from his clothes with a proud look on his face, "The guest room door locks at the Cupido Hotel have not been modified with electronic locks, they are all old-fashioned
Key slot anti-theft lock. To deal with this kind of door lock, you only need to use some small tricks, and it will take half a second..."
Before Kuroba Kaito finished speaking, he heard a "crunch" and Shu Yunwen reached out to unscrew the door and walked in.
"Thank you, Chengshi." Inside the room, Shu Yunwen thanked him.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki also entered the door, looking back and forth. The room was very tidy, everything was in order, and nothing unusual could be seen.
Seeing this scene, Kuroba Kaito's movements froze - Damn! Are you kidding? The door is obviously locked, okay? How did Shu Yunwen open the door and what technique did he use?
The famous Kaitou Kidd can't see it?
"Ah? It turns out the door is not locked at all?" Nakamori Aoko was a little surprised and turned to look at Kuroba Kaito, "Kaito, what were you talking about just now? Huh? What is that in your hand?"
"No, it's nothing." Kuroba Kaito twitched the corner of his mouth twice and put the hoop into his pocket, feeling an inexplicable heartache.
"Then let's go in and have a look, too?" Nakamori Aoko said and walked into the door.
…
Outside the control room of the small steel ball store, Conan thanked the staff of the small steel ball store: "Thank you, brother!"
"You're welcome." The staff at the small steel ball shop smiled and scratched their heads, "After all, it's our honor to be able to help the famous detective Mr. Mori!"
Conan Kid walked out of the small steel ball shop and looked at the police and ambulance arriving from a distance, squinting his eyes.
He just checked the surveillance in the store. While Uncle Maori was playing with small steel balls, a guy who was dressed very strangely and could tell at a glance that he was disguised entered the store. That person should be Yuda! And he was probably following Maori.
Uncle.
But when did Yuda start following?
Conan was confident that if Yuda had started following him early in the morning, he would have discovered that he was being followed.
Since you are not following him all the time, you know that Uncle Maori is in the small steel ball store, so you go inside to observe the situation?
However, Uncle Maori's decision to come to this small steel ball shop was entirely an impromptu decision early in the morning, and no one knew about it...
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly had an idea. As if he had thought of something, he ran back to the small steel ball shop and said coquettishly: "Uncle, can I borrow your phone?"
"Of course." The staff member agreed with a smile.
Conan picked up the phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, Conan immediately asked: "Is it Sister Zi? I'm Conan. I want to ask, do you know that Uncle Maori wants to have a cup today?"
What happened with the small steel balls in Tomachi?”
"Ah? Is it Conan?" Xiaozi's voice came from the phone, "Yes, Mr. Mori did mention this matter when he came to order breakfast takeout in the morning..."
"After that, did anyone ask you about Uncle Maori?" Conan continued to ask.
Xiaozi said: "Yes! There were two people dressed very strangely. They asked about Mr. Mori, and I told them that Mr. Mori was going to the newly opened shop in Cupido Town 2-chome to play small steel balls today...
What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Conan kid narrowed his eyes.
Two people!
"Sister Azusa, are those two people dressed like this..." The Conan kid briefly talked about the disguises of Tsuyoshi Maehara and Yuda.
On the phone, Xiaozi said in surprise: "Ah? Yes! Yes! It's just like what you said. Did they go find Mr. Mori?"
