Mao Lilan greeted Edogawa Conan, who was always particularly nostalgic for the scene of the crime. If he didn't take the initiative to shout, he would never think of leaving.
"Here we come, Sister Xiaolan." Edogawa Conan hurried over.
Shuji Tsushima glanced at the elementary school student's back and turned to leave as well.
The pink-haired man was also carrying something and followed them silently.
No one talked to him and he didn't care.
On the contrary, he was a little worried that someone was talking to him. If Bob or another person opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you following us?" If he said it was a coincidence, he would be a little embarrassed.
Although it is indeed a coincidence.
Bourbon's temper is not good, even though Shuichi Akai thinks that there is a 90% chance that the other party is an undercover agent of the Japanese police, but...
The other party's temper is indeed bad.
Although he is also an undercover agent, Scotland's temperament is much gentler. At least he will not be sarcastic or sarcastic. He will provoke others with all kinds of disdainful looks and tone of voice when they meet.
And bourbon will.
In this way, they arrived at the parking lot. After Shuji Tsushima and the other three got into the car, they watched Subaru Okiya get into a car parked opposite them.
The two cars left the underground garage one after the other, not too far apart and heading in the same direction.
Finally, the car parked again in the same underground garage, not far apart.
It wasn't until they entered the elevator that they finally separated.
Because Shuji Tsushima and the three of them took the direct elevator.
After Okiya Subaru entered the elevator, the expression on his face did not change. He just took out his mobile phone and read the messages.
After seeing the latest news, I also replied to a message, but I did not receive a reply.
He didn't care and just put away his phone.
When he stepped out of the elevator, he met his next door neighbor.
The red-haired young man is handsome but not approachable. He is wearing a dark red shirt, black casual trousers, and a black tie. He holds a mobile phone in one hand and a palm-sized black bat in the other.
Bats are not cute creatures.
Not only is it not cute, it's even a bit scary.
But his neighbor looked like he couldn't put it down.
"Hello." Okiya said hello as he walked out of the elevator.
The other party came up by the stairs, why not take the elevator?
As for the reason why I think the other party came up from downstairs instead of coming down from upstairs, it is naturally because... upstairs is a private area.
Of course, it is also possible that Sora Sakai in front of him is a member of the organization, and he checked the other party's house while Tsujima Shuji went out, and maybe even installed more bugs or monitors.
The red-haired man just passed by Okiya Subaru indifferently, without even giving him a look, as if such a living person was not as important as the bat in his hand.
"Well, do you like drinking?" The pink-haired man looked at Sora Sakai who was opening the door and asked persistently.
Sakai Sora opened the door and looked back at the other party.
"I don't drink wine from strangers." He said indifferently, and his words and even his eyes were filled with the aura of staying away from me.
Then he entered the room and closed the door without hesitation.
"So I still like it." Subaru Okiya also opened the door and entered the house, sighing slowly.
The FBI informant found empty wine bottles in the opponent's trash bags every time.
It can no longer be said to be an ordinary liking, but a hobby that cannot be left.
After he returned home, he immediately walked to the balcony, closed the curtains, and then put on the headset.
"How is the intelligence investigation on Edogawa Conan going?" he asked.
As early as when the mall discovered that something was wrong with Edogawa Conan and that he was very close to Tsushima Shuji, he sent people to investigate him.
"No specific information on the name Edogawa Conan was found, and there was no passport or anything like that." A reporting voice came from the headset.
"But regarding that child, he often appears in the news together with Mouri Kogoro. After investigation, I did not find that the child is currently staying at Moori Kogoro's home..."
"Moori Kogoro?" Okiya Subaru, or Akai Shuichi opened his eyes and asked.
He knew Kogoro Mori, a very famous detective in Japan.
"Yes, there are no other clues other than this. It's like there is no trace of this person." The person on the other side continued to report the situation.
"There is no such person..." Akai Shuichi murmured in a low voice, curling his lips with interest.
How could this person really be found? Unless they checked wrongly from the beginning.
The name Edogawa Conan does not exist at all.
So what is the other party's real name? Why does he want to stay at Moori Kogoro's house?
"Have you checked the other people around Mouri Kogoro? No, or the people around Mouri Kogoro's daughter Mouri Ran, or the people around Suzuki Sonoko of the Suzuki Group, are there any people who had a good relationship before, but suddenly disappeared?
." Akai Shuichi ordered.
After all, that elementary school student seemed to have some differences with the girl named Mao Lilan.
For a well-informed adult like him, the young man's eyes could tell the meaning at a glance.
"Okay, we get it." Akai Shuichi said this, and as soon as he arrived, the people on the other side began to work hard to find information.
It is relatively simple to investigate the people around Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan.
Check everything from school lists to neighbors.
"Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko grew up together with a boy named Kudo Shinichi from kindergarten. Until a few months ago, Kudo Shinichi asked for a long vacation from school and disappeared. According to the timeline... Kudo Shinichi
The day after he asked for leave, Edogawa Conan moved into Kogoro Mori's house..." They quickly gave the information.
"Kudo Shinichi was called the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era by Japanese newspapers...the savior of the Japanese police..."
"Kudo Shinichi?" Akai Shuichi's voice rose.
This name...
He seems to have heard of it too.
Speaking of which, Mao Lilan looks familiar...
Were they the two boys and girls who rescued the murderer disguised as Belmode in New York?
Shuichi Akai closed his eyes and looked through his memories.
"Shinichi——"
"Xiaolan——"
The image of the boy and girl calling each other's names became clearer and clearer in his memory.
Akai Shuichi opened his eyes.
That's right, the two people at the beginning were Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi.
Speaking of which, Kudo Shinichi also solved some cases in the United States and was even published in newspapers at the time.
The title is Sherlock Holmes from Japan.
but……
Akai Shuichi flipped through all the newspapers on the coffee table and found no reports about Kudo Shinichi.
The large section of the page contains only works by Shuji Tsushima and Kogoro Mori.
And those corners are also other people's affairs, missing persons notices, commissions, small advertisements, or interviews with other detectives.
Kudo Shinichi's name never appeared at all.
but……
This shouldn't be the case.
Kudo Shinichi was once hailed as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era and the savior of the Japanese police. How could he suddenly disappear?
Death? But someone took a long leave for him.
Could it be...
That primary school student is...
"No need to check, I will do the rest myself." Akai Shuichi said.
"Okay, okay." Hearing the reply coming from the other end of the headset, Akai Shuichi took off the headset.
