There was not a single customer in Café Poirot, and Xiaozi rarely had a moment of leisure. She sat near the window, holding her chin in one hand and looking out the window, humming a tune in her mouth.
Suddenly, the phone in the cafe rang. Xiaozi stood up quickly, walked to the bar, and answered the phone: "Hello, this is Poirot Cafe. What can I do for you..."
"Hello, Xiaozi, I'm Xiaolan." Xiaolan's voice came from the receiver.
"Ah? Is it Xiaolan?" Xiaozi blinked, "What's wrong?"
"That's it. I would like to ask you to help me see if Conan is at our house..."
"Conan? Okay, I understand." Xiaozi agreed, "There are no customers in the store right now. Don't hang up. I'll go take a look."
"Okay, thank you very much. I really trouble you." Xiaolan thanked her.
…
The entrance of Rice Flower Hotel.
Tsukamoto Sumi stood in front of the door, her long hair fluttering in the wind. She looked at Shu Yunwen, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko who got out of the taxi, and waved gently.
Shu Yunwen also waved. Yuantai, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were all in a daze, and then they heard Mitsuhiko say in fear: "Ah, it's that very violent big sister."
"Sister, I have long hair now. I feel so beautiful." Little Ayumi held her hands in front of her chest, looking cute.
"Brother Yunwen, sister Shumei also want to have dinner with us?" Yuantai squinted his eyes and glanced at Shu Yunwen.
Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes and hit Yuantai on the head: "What? Isn't it possible? Come on, let's go in."
"Well..." Yuantai covered his head, feeling a little aggrieved.
Shu Yunwen walked up to Tsukamoto Sumi and held Tsukamoto Sumi's hand: "Sumei, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
"No, I just came here. It's not too far from the Rice Flower Shrine..." Tsukamoto Sumi tilted her head, smiled slightly, and then asked curiously, "Ayumi, are Mitsuhiko and the others also together?"
"Yeah...the two of them happened to go to Yuantai to play, and then they came over to have a meal..." Shu Yunwen replied, turning to look at the three little guys running over, "How is the situation at the shrine?
Is everything okay?"
"It's nothing. Ms. Noriko adapted very quickly and is now a qualified shrine maiden. And Mr. Yamaguchi Tatsuo, he can now show up in front of people..." Tsukamoto Sumi replied.
Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment: "Is it possible to show up in front of others now? Then I have to call him and tell him not to show up in front of others casually..."
While the two were talking, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko also came up to them, bowed down to Tsukamoto Sumi and said, "Hello, Sister Sumi!"
"Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, hello." Tsukamoto Sumi smiled in return, "Ayumi, you are very beautiful today, especially your hairpin, it is very cute..."
"Really?" Little Lolita Ayumi looked happy.
Several people walked into the hotel lobby while talking. Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta were immediately attracted by the ornamental fish next to the dining area in the lobby on the first floor. They could not move their feet even while standing next to the fish tank on the wall.
Seeing this, Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes speechlessly, and simply sat down next to the ornamental fish. After the waiter took the menu, he handed it to Tsukamoto Sumi: "Sumi-chan, see if there is anything you want to eat.
, feel free to order, you’re welcome, I have a coupon~”
While talking, Shu Yunwen took out a stack of 100,000 yen hospitality coupons from his trouser pocket, and the waiter next to him suddenly looked confused.
Tsukamoto Sumi smiled and nodded, and Genta was already shouting excitedly: "I want to eat eel rice! Eel rice! I want eel rice made from the eels in the fish tank!"
Shu Yunwen slapped his forehead speechlessly - Damn it! We are coming to a high-end hotel, can you call it a higher-end one and eat some woolen eel rice...
And...this fish tank is full of ornamental fish, including a woolly eel!
…
On a moving car.
Because the road was covered with snow, the car drove very slowly. Xiaolan returned the mobile phone to Koshimizu Nanatsuki and shook her head with worry and disappointment: "Not at home, Conan didn't go back..."
"Damn it! Where did this damn kid go?" Uncle Maori reached out and smashed the steering wheel.
Koshizui Nanatsuki held a notebook and looked at the contents recorded on it, with a knowing smile on his face: "...If Conan doesn't come home, there are only two possibilities left. Chapter 1
One is that he just left not long ago and has not returned to the office yet; the other is that he probably found the clues left by the kidnappers in the room, so he followed the kidnappers to the Rice Krispies Hotel, right?"
"...Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then blinked, "Conan followed the kidnapper and went to the Rice Krispies Hotel?"
"That's right...and, given the current situation, the second possibility is extremely high!" Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded heavily.
"Ah?" Uncle Maori glanced at the rearview mirror, "Detective Yueshui, that newspaper and the code left on the calendar should not be that easy for a child, right? Can Conan decipher the code?
?”
Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled slightly: "You don't have to unlock the password to know where the prisoner is going. Conan was in the same room with the prisoner last night, so he probably heard the prisoner tell him where they were going. In addition, Conan was in the same room with the prisoner last night.
, even if he didn’t hear it, we can’t treat Conan like ordinary children..."
"...If it were him, a code of this level should still be able to be solved."
"Then let's..." Xiaolan was a little confused.
Koshizui Nanatsuki said: "Let's go to the Rice Krispies Hotel, maybe we can find Conan there. If Conan returns to the detective agency, there shouldn't be any danger; however, if he really follows those two dangerous people,
If you go to the Rice Krispies Hotel, it might be in danger..."
"That's right." Uncle Maori nodded, "Speaking of which, why did the person pretending to be Conan's mother go to the Rice Krispies Hotel?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled and said: "I'm not sure. But after we find them, they will tell us, right?"
After finishing speaking, Koshizui Nanatsuki's eyes fell on the notebook in his hand again, looking at the contents on it——
What does that cut-out number "30" on the calendar mean?
…
"What does that '30' mean? Does it mean the floor? But the Rice Krispies Hotel only has nineteen floors!"
At noon, Conan put his hand on his chin and walked into the Rice Flower Hotel. He looked like he was thinking and walked to the front desk unknowingly.
Suddenly, Conan smelled the fragrance in the air, sniffed twice, then turned to look at the dining area on the first floor, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his stomach.
By the way, he hasn't eaten since last night and is so hungry now...
Conan was thinking blindly, glancing back and forth. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the guests on a table in the dining area. Then he rubbed his eyes vigorously, took another look, and twitched the corners of his mouth twice——
Damn, why are these guys here? And they are eating?
