Conan rushed out of the hospital, intending to go there to see if he could save the situation. At the same time, he called Ai Haibara and Dr. Agasa, reminding them that Mihua Town has been targeted by Gin, and told them not to go out and to take the medicine.
Hide the white stone.
——Conan remembered that after he got into the FBI car, Haibara Ai and Dr. Ari went to find Shiraishi. Now that so much time has passed, they should have successfully reunited.
However, after the call was connected, he learned that Dr. Agasa and Haibara Ai were still looking for someone in Cupido Town.
After the two separated from Conan, they first found the coffee shop, but found that Shiraishi was not at home. Instead, the rolling shutter door of the coffee shop, which had never been seen once in a million years, had been lowered, making it look like it was closed.
They knocked on the door and called a few more times, but no one answered, and the side transom didn't emit any strange exhaust fumes.
So the two of them took it for granted that the employee who had been living in the store had returned to her own home.
So they went upstairs instead, using the excuse of "looking for Shiraishi" to ask two neighbors for help, and lured them away, killing two birds with one stone.
During this period, Mao Lilan asked confusedly where Conan was, and was told by Dr. Ali that Conan met Teacher Judy on the way here. At this time, he was probably playing with the teacher in the arcade.
Mao Lilan began to deeply reflect on her education of children. But at this time, it was still important to find Shiraishi first.
So after she called Conan and heard Teacher Judy's voice on the other end of the phone, she felt relieved and ignored him.
Afterwards, Dr. Agasa and Ai Haihara first followed Conan's instructions and found a parking lot near Reina Mizuna's house, and found Shiraishi's car inside.
There was no one in the car, but through the window, I could see a note in the car, saying that I was going to a convenience store to buy snacks.
Calculating the time, let alone buying some snacks, it was almost enough time to move the store. But judging from the note and the condition of the car, it was obvious that Shiraishi left and never came back.
This situation is not too surprising.
In the past, when they went shopping, they would occasionally encounter Shiraishi sleeping in a convenience store or somewhere else.
Thinking on the bright side, this is actually not bad.
——Gin may discover the bug at any time. If Shiraishi hadn't slept at all and drove home immediately after discovering that Conan had run away with the doctor, the chance of him hitting Gin would have been much higher.
With this thought in mind, Haihara Ai started to take a few people to find a nearby convenience store.
There are many brands in convenience stores, and there are some exclusive snacks in them. Although the taste is generally similar, there are always slight differences.
Considering that Shiraishi might have a special liking for a certain family's snacks, they didn't just stick to one family, but searched them one by one from near to far.
But I couldn't find anyone sleeping in the store. I asked the store clerk, but the store clerk said he didn't notice.
After searching all the convenience stores nearby, the two scientists had to change their thinking of finding someone: "Is he worried that Conan would be too slow to pick up things, so he went to the bookstore to buy some novels to read?"
There are also bookshelves in convenience stores, but the variety of books is obviously not as good as in specialized bookstores. In short, it is indeed possible.
So the four of them went to the bookstore again for a walk.
Unfortunately neither.
"What about a cafe or restaurant? Maybe Shiraishi wants to learn from other people's experience in opening a store..."
still none.
In the end, the four people turned over all the shops within a kilometer radius, searched every nook and cranny, and even asked nearby shop owners if any enthusiastic people had called an ambulance... but there were no clues at all.
Judging from what Conan heard, this matter should have nothing to do with the black organization.
In this case……
Hui Yuan Ai touched his chin solemnly, and had a bad guess: "Could it be stolen by others after falling asleep? For example..."
She subconsciously glanced at Mao Lilan and thought of her friend who loved wearing hairbands.
"No!" Mao Lilan understood instantly.
She subconsciously wanted to defend Suzuki Sonoko, and to defend herself, she naturally needed to come up with some arguments.
So she thought about it... and became unconfident again, muttering: "...No way."
Lowering her head and looking into Haiyuan Ai's big eyes for a moment, Mao Lilan silently took out her phone and planned to ask her best friend where she was now.
It’s not that she doubted that Suzuki Sonoko would keep the person secretly after finding her, it was mainly because she was afraid that she would be too happy and forget to hand the person over to the public...
More than ten kilometers away, the innocent Suzuki Sonoko answered the phone and listened confusedly to the cause and effect. She said that she had never seen it but wanted to help find it.
Haibara Ai and Dr. A Li immediately rejected the proposal.
It's very dangerous around them now, and even if Suzuki Sonoko comes, she won't be able to help much.
Mao Lilan didn't know the concerns of the two people, and only thought that Haibara Ai had a psychological shadow on Lingzuki Garden. So in order not to scare the children, she told Lingzuki Garden not to worry, the person had been found, and there was no need to come over.
Suzuki Sonoko hung up the phone with great regret.
…
When Conan finally arrived, he saw several people gathered around, seriously discussing whether to call the police.
Conan initially felt that the situation was urgent - after all, he lost someone.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that things may not be as bad as everyone thinks.
Conan remembered that when he and Shiraishi left the coffee shop last night, the door was still open, and Shiraishi didn't ask the clerk to lock the door.
Moreover, at that time, the commission letter did not include the specific content of the commission. It was only after they met Rena Mizuno that they found out that what she wanted to investigate was a prank doorbell, so they temporarily decided to stay at Rena Mizuno's house for the night.
In other words, it may not be Shiraishi who made Butterfly close the store, but someone else.
Speaking of which, Black Cat and Reina Mizuna are both in the black organization's assassination team today.
The two men most likely knew each other.
And Rena Mizuna is a very popular celebrity. When most people meet a celebrity unexpectedly, they can't hold back their surprise and can't help but chat with their friends. For example, Conan himself couldn't help showing off to Dr. Agasa.
After a while...
And if Shiraishi happened to mention this matter to Black Cat or someone when he was playing with his mobile phone last night, then Black Cat would know the news that "Shiraishi and Conan spent the night at Rena Mizuna's house on the eve of the mission."
Furthermore, if Gin's assassination plan is thwarted today and Gin investigates the cause, it may affect the innocent detective Shiraishi, as well as his more innocent... well, and his not-so-innocent neighbors.
As for why Black Cat was sure that the assassination plan would not go smoothly...
Just look at what he did today. Black Cat must have wanted to cause trouble a long time ago, otherwise how could he have memorized the information in advance and specially prepared a USB flash drive containing suggestions for FBI operations...
