Chapter 147 Reflect on why you are not as good as cats
The first action was frustrated.
But no matter how clever it is, it is just an animal...
Conan refused to give up. He thought for a while, and after seeing the cat meal that Mao Lilan was preparing, he quickly came up with an idea.
He ran to a nearby convenience store and bought a pack of dried fish for pets. When he got home, he put the dried fish on a plate. He then approached with a plate in one hand and a sticker in the other with a smile on his face.
Shiraishi turned his head after smelling the smell, stared at the pile of strange-shaped fish in silence for a moment, and wanted to turn it over to Conan's face.
However, after seeing the transmitter in Conan's other hand, he changed his mind.
According to the development in the original work, this transmitter was accidentally attached to Miyano Akemi's watch by Conan.
Later, Conan used this to find the traces of Miyano Akemi and Kitano Satoshi, and also learned from Miyano Akemi that one billion yen was hidden by her in the hotel counter.
Conan informed the police of the news in time, causing Gin to post time and people again, but in the end he didn't get a penny.
Although the one billion yen this time is not an outsourced task, if it succeeds, all of them will be able to share the bonus, and if there is Conan, there will be trouble. No matter how you think about it, Shiraishi hopes that Conan will stay away from the follow-up matters.
It would be very trouble-free if the transmitter could be kidnapped so that he could not track it...
Conan did not dare to take the initiative to approach this time, fearing that the overly clever cat would see that he had bad intentions.
He placed the dried small fish on the ground as if he was offering an offering, and squatted next to him waiting for the cat to take the bait. After waiting for two seconds, the cat actually jumped off the sofa and walked over.
Conan's eyes lit up and he held his breath waiting for the opportunity to take action.
Unexpectedly, the cat didn't even look at the dried fish, stepped on the plate and walked over, then raised its paw and waved at him, then turned around and left neatly.
When Conan came to his senses, he realized that his hands were empty.
If you look closely, you will see that there is a white sticker on the inside of the black cat's front paw - it is his transmitter.
Although things went surprisingly smoothly, it still felt like... it was too smooth?
…
After listening to all Miyano Akemi's descriptions, Shiraishi still couldn't remember where the escaped Hirota Kenzo was hiding.
I can only try to use Mao Lilan's European Emperor buff.
Seeing that Miyano Akemi was about to leave and there was no more information left here, Shiraishi ran to the window, jumped to the branch of the tree next to the sidewalk amidst Mao Lilan's screams, and slipped away along the tree.
After turning two streets and looking back, he saw no one following him. Shiraishi quickly ran to the bus stopping on the roadside, rubbed the transmitter against the side of the wheel, patted it tightly, and then got under the car to remove the mask.
, returned to the body.
…
In the afternoon of the next day, Shiraishi returned home from his surveillance shift. As usual, he turned into a cat and walked upstairs to see if there was any progress in finding someone.
This time, it was Mao Lilan who opened the door. This high school girl was particularly hospitable and very kind to cats.
In fact, Maori Lan has always wanted to keep a cat, but Kogoro Maori didn't like it very much, and in the end he couldn't get one. Now cats come to visit the house every day, which solves this trouble.
Entering the living room, Shiraishi saw Conan leaning on the sofa and reading a newspaper, looking very tired.
Hearing the movement at the door, Conan glanced at the black cat who was being greeted by Mao Lilan, and turned back with great resentment.
Shiraishi guessed that he was tired of chasing the bus. After all, the bus where the transmitter was located was a city-circuit bus and its route was very far away.
While Mao Lilan went to the kitchen to prepare snacks, Shiraishi ran to the workbench and took a look.
Maybe it was because Miyano Akemi cried so pitifully during the commission, but Mouri Kogoro felt full of responsibility and was not lazy at all. He stared at the map spread out on the table and concentrated on where to search next.
Shiraishi jumped on the table to check the information and found that Kogoro Mori had gone to Hirota Kenzo's company and a pet store near his home in the morning, but people who had impressions of Hirota Kenzo said that he had not shown up since the day before yesterday.
There were some fragmentary clues recorded in the notebook. Shiraishi flipped through it for a while and when he turned back to the first page, he suddenly remembered a clue.
It popped out a nail and stretched out its hand towards the notebook.
…
Mouri Kogoro was racking his brains to plan his next move, when suddenly, he heard a rustling sound.
He turned his head to look in confusion and saw a cat on the table. The cat was lowering its head and scratching at his notebook with its nails. There were a few fragments scattered around the cat's feet.
"Hey!!" Mouri Kogoro was startled, struck the case, and reached out angrily to stop the saboteurs.
However, before even touching a single cat hair, Mao Lilan, who heard the movement, swooped over to the desk.
She didn't know what was going on, so she followed her heart and took the cat away from Mouri Kogoro's arms, then frowned and looked at her father: "Don't bully others if you don't like cats!"
"Who is bullying whom?" Mouri Kogoro pointed at his notebook and complained angrily, "It tore up my clues!"
"!" Mao Lilan looked down and saw a few scraps of paper, feeling slightly guilty.
She only knew that Mouri Kogoro didn't like cats, so she subconsciously thought that Moori Kogoro was mean to it because it was on the table.
Unexpectedly, it seems now that it was really the cat who made the move first: "It, it didn't do it on purpose, and it only broke a few pieces. Just put them back together. I'll help you put them together..."
Conan also heard the news and walked in at this time.
He stood on tiptoe and looked at the torn notebook. After a second, he suddenly thought of something and raised his hand to stop Mao Lilan who was about to restore the paper.
In the notebook, the names of Hirota Kenzo's four cats were originally recorded - "Hao", "King", "Emperor" and "Kuai".
But now, each name has been torn into a separate piece and rearranged into "The King of Speed".
If it had been any other cat, Conan would have thought it was an accident and would have passed it by just looking at it.
But this cat raised by Black Cat is different.
And each fragment has exactly one word, so it doesn’t look like a coincidence, it’s more like it wants to convey some message.
With this idea, Conan suddenly became concerned about the reordered text.
He asked Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro: "Do you know anything or a place called the 'Gokuai Emperor'? I always feel like I have heard this word somewhere before."
"Emperor of Haokuai?" When read together, Kogoro Mouri had an impression of this word.
He also likes to gamble and occasionally goes to the racetrack: "This is the name of a racehorse. It was very prosperous in the past few years, but it has gone downhill recently..."
"That's it!" Mao Lilan figured it out at once, "Mr. Hirota must like betting on horse racing, so he named the cat after a horse race. Let's go to the racetrack and have a look, maybe we can meet him!"
"This is indeed a clue, but we don't know how often he went to the racecourse. Even if he went, how could tens of thousands of people find him..."
Conan looked at the pieces of paper on the table, feeling quite unwilling to do so. Even if he couldn't compare with Shiraishi, now, he didn't see the clues that even cats could see.
But does this mean that black cats also like to bet on horses?
Thinking like this, Conan once again added useless knowledge that did not exist to his knowledge bank.
