"Looking for me?" Niina Kahori did not hide her movements at all, so Shiraishi was startled and immediately looked at the newspaper in her hand.
After a few glances, he seemed to understand.
——The same newspaper, there is a copy in his room now, with reports about him in it.
I collect this kind of stuff specifically not because I want to see others praise me, but mainly to grasp information and confirm my image in the eyes of the outside world, so as to facilitate future planning of actions. Yes, it is so rigorous.
And when solving the case, although it was mainly Conan who was nagging, he also provided clues... Thinking of this, Shiraishi looked away from the newspaper with a guilty conscience and looked at the girl holding it again.
Shinname Kahoori first briefly introduced himself, then briefly told the circumstances of his parents' disappearance, and finally proposed that he would entrust Shiraishi to help find his parents.
Shiraishi doesn't mind making some extra money, but the problem is that he has almost no impression of this case.
He is not good at solving mysteries, and the disappearance case is not a trivial matter. It would not be good if the investigation delayed the case and resulted in the loss of life.
"Sorry." After Shiraishi declined, he was going to introduce her to the Maori Detective Agency upstairs and tell her to come back in the evening - by then Conan would have finished playing house with his parents and returned to Maori to continue working as a child.
But at this moment, the familiar sound of water drops sounded in his ears.
"..." Bai Shi glanced at the screen. After half a second, he calmly continued what he just said, "...I may not be able to find the person, but I will try my best."
"Really?!" This was the first time in two months that she had not been rejected by a detective, and Kaholi Niina was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
She raised her hand and pressed the corners of her eyes, couldn't wait to walk into the store, and opened her handbag: "I, let me tell you the information I know first."
…
The two people were drinking hot tea and discussing the case in a cafe that was warmed by the air conditioner. Three kilometers away, in an abandoned house surrounded by snow, Conan was lying on the cold and stiff floor, dazed.
opened his eyes.
What he saw was the old and broken ceiling. He looked around and found that he was lying in a messy old kitchen.
After realizing that there was no one else in the room, he felt relieved and tried to sit up, but he failed.
...This feeling of being out of control is actually a bit familiar.
Conan lowered his head with great effort, and sure enough he saw a bundle of hemp rope tightly wrapped around his body, tying him up like a rice dumpling. The hands behind his back were so numb that he could hardly feel anything.
"..." The black cat came here?
No, you can't think like that. The last time he was tied up with a water pipe, it was because he showed obvious hostility and delayed the other party's schedule. But now, they are no longer hostile, and Black Cat has no reason to be so cruel.
Thinking of his previous escape, Conan sighed, knowing that he might have been caught by Fumiyo Edogawa again.
After thinking about his situation, Conan gathered his strength, rolled up on the ground, walked to the window, stood on tiptoe and looked out.
The scene outside the window is deserted. It seems to be an abandoned old house. The place where he is currently being held is on the second floor.
There is a car parked in the small courtyard downstairs. Judging from the model, it is the one that Edogawa Fumiyo drove.
Apart from that, I didn't see the police or the black cat... Conan leaned haggardly on the window sill, trying to think of how to get out of trouble.
Shiraishi would definitely be able to understand his distress signal. A good person like him would not leave his abducted neighbor alone.
But now nothing happens.
In other words, the black cat may be busy with other things and Shiraishi cannot contact anyone. Or, the men in black are too powerful and their whereabouts are secretive, so they cannot find their location.
In fact, in the car just now, after hearing Edogawa Fumiyo say that she was a member of the black organization, Conan already regretted asking Shiraishi for help - no matter how powerful they were, there were only two of them, so how could they be the opponents of the black organization?
.
Maybe it's a good thing that I haven't found him now... But in this case, I have to work harder.
Just as he was planning his escape route, there was suddenly a slamming sound in the living room next to the door - someone walked into the living room.
Conan suddenly became alert.
The kitchen door was closed. After approaching carefully, Conan found a small gap under the wooden door, which was very convenient for peeking.
He moved his eyes closer and saw that in addition to the fat Edogawa Fumiyo, there was another man in the living room who was dressed in black from head to toe and exuded a dangerous aura.
For a moment, Conan almost thought that the black cat had come in.
However, he soon realized that this was not the case - the two men were dressed differently.
In addition to the black suit, the man in the living room also wore a black top hat and a black cloak. In addition, the mask on his face was white, and it was a full-face mask with a ferocious smile. This is similar to the black cat.
The difference is huge.
In addition, his stance is wrong. Judging from the way he greeted Fumiyo Edogawa, they are obviously accomplices.
While he was secretly watching, the masked man seemed to have noticed his gaze, and suddenly turned his head to look at the kitchen door, and then he walked over.
Conan's breath stagnated, and he immediately tiptoed back to the place where he had just woken up, and lay down again.
But at this moment, Conan suddenly realized in a cold sweat that he no longer remembered what posture he was in when he woke up.
However, it is normal for people to move around when they are asleep - he can only comfort himself in this way, while slowing down his breathing and trying his best to pretend that he is not awake yet.
The masked man did not open the door. After looking at Conan through the gap in the kitchen door for a while, he pretended not to notice anything unusual and looked back, and continued to talk to Fumiyo Edogawa.
Conan exhaled slowly and lay on the ground, not daring to move anymore.
As for Fumiyo Edogawa, it's not bad. Although this woman has a gun and her skills are dark, I always feel that she has a low IQ, so it shouldn't be difficult to escape from her.
But the new man in black appeared, giving Conan a great sense of crisis.
The new masked man who appears is, of course, Conan's father, Kudo Yusaku, a famous mystery novelist.
He turned his back to the kitchen door and made a gesture to his wife. Kudo Yukiko understood it instantly and began to recite the words with great emotion according to the script designed by Kudo Yusaku.
After all, the lines were designed by the best-selling author himself, and the conversation between the two "black organization members" is extremely informative.
Conan successfully overheard a lot of information - for example, the two men arrested him because he did not die after taking that poison, but became smaller. This kind of case is very rare and has the value of research.
For another example, the masked man didn't believe that adults would become smaller because of the medicine, so he decided to find another unlucky man, feed him the same medicine, and observe what would happen.
The two quickly talked about the silence task assigned by the organization, and mentioned that "the transaction time has been set at one o'clock in the afternoon."
The words "silence" and "trading partner" were put together, and Conan immediately guessed that the black organization wanted to repeat the same trick and kill the partners who had done business with them.
Having said that, most of the people who have traded with them are dead. If this continues, will anyone still cooperate with them...
Conan hates and is confused by this brutal organization, but the most important thing right now is to escape first.
After that, he planned to save the unlucky guy who was about to be silenced and find an opportunity to get the poison from them and give it to the doctor for research.
