In the Maori Detective Agency, this young girl with glasses and twin tails, who looked like she was still in school, asked Maori Kogoro for help in a very urgent tone.
"Okay...ok."
Seemingly frightened by the girl's aura, Mouri Kogoro stuttered in reply.
At the same time, the girl's eagerness also surprised both Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan.
"My father came to Tokyo to find a job, but there has been no news from him in the past week."
The girl lowered her head and said in a choked voice, "I quit my job at the taxi company... I asked the police to look for it but they can't find it..."
"Is that why you came to me?"
After hearing what the girl said, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I took a leave of absence from the school and came from Yamagata Prefecture..."
After saying that, the girl raised her head and looked at Mouri Kogoro with pleading eyes, "There is no other way except asking the detective."
"I understand, I accept your commission."
Seeing the girl's helpless look, Mouri Kogoro said seriously.
Hearing this, the girl seemed to see hope and hurriedly took out a photo. The photo showed a slightly bloated middle-aged man holding a black cat in his hand and smiling at the camera. He looked very kind.
.
"This is my father, Kenzo Hirota. He is 1.7 meters tall and 48 years old this year."
The girl handed the photo to Mouri Kogoro and explained.
"Who is this cat?"
Looking at the black cat in the photo, Mouri Kogoro asked casually.
"That's my father's cat, and its name is Kuai."
As she spoke, the girl seemed to remember something and added: "Dad likes cats very much, and he also has three cats, 'Emperor', 'Hao' and 'Wang'."
"I see, you live with cats, right?"
After listening to the girl's narration, Mouri Kogoro took out his notebook, recorded this on it, and then continued to ask: "Are there any other habits?"
So the girl thought about it and said a lot of things hesitantly.
Conan, who was on the sidelines, lost interest after hearing the girl's request - he was looking for someone, so there was no need for me to appear.
Thinking like this, Conan couldn't help but look at the sticker-type transmitter just affixed to his clothes - if he put this transmitter on, he would be able to find it in no time!
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but look at Mao Lilan who was pouring tea - by the way! Install it on Xiaolan and try its performance!
So, Conan secretly took down the sticker-type transmitter and walked behind Mao Lilan, who was pouring tea for the girl, preparing to stick the transmitter on Mao Lilan.
As a result, he accidentally tripped over a wire. Conan lost his balance and fell forward, falling directly onto the girl's thighs covered by her long skirt.
"What are you doing, you little brat!"
Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but stand up and scolded.
Hearing such a reprimand, Conan was a little embarrassed. He immediately stood up and touched the back of his head to apologize. However, at this time, the sticker-type transmitter he originally held in his hand was missing, so he could only turn his head and look around for it.
Then he saw his own transmitter on the watch strap the girl wore on her right hand, and the transmitter seemed to have been stuck to the watch strap.
"Oops! It's actually there!"
Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but think, and was thinking about how to take off the transmitter. But at this moment, Conan saw water droplets falling from it and dripping on the girl's watch. He looked up and saw the girl.
He was crying with his head down.
"My mother passed away when I was a child, and my father is my only relative."
With tears in her eyes, the girl said sadly, "If something happens to my father, then I..."
As she spoke, the girl raised her hands, covered her face and cried, unable to even speak.
Seeing the girl's performance, Mouri Kogoro, Maori Ran and Edogawa Conan could not help but be moved by her behavior, so Moori Kogoro immediately said: "Don't worry! I, Moori Kogoro, will come to find you."
Your father's matter will definitely be dealt with!"
With that said, Mouri Kogoro took out a commission form and handed it to the girl.
"Then, Miss Hirota, please sign it, which means I officially accept your commission."
Hearing this, the girl took the handkerchief handed over by Mao Lilan, wiped her tears, and then signed her name on the order form - Masami Hirota.
"Then, it's up to you!"
Hirota Masami said sincerely, "I will contact you every day!"
"Miss Yamei, don't worry!"
Seeing this, Mao Lilan said gently, "My father is a detective, and he will definitely find Mr. Hirota!"
Hearing this, Hirota Masami, who had just walked out of the Maori Detective Agency, turned his head, showed a gentle smile, nodded towards Maori Lan, and then left...
At the same time, Gao Yuan, who was sitting in the car, saw the girl named Hirota Masami leaving. At the same time, she turned on her mobile phone and looked at the tracking data on the mobile phone screen. She was moving, and the direction of movement had nothing to do with it.
That Hirota Masami left in the same direction.
Gao Yuan was a little lucky about this, as the situation this time seemed to be consistent with the development of the original work.
But at the same time, Gao Yuan frowned deeply and could only feel helpless - this situation also means that the situation will develop in the worst direction!
Thinking like this, Gao Yuan silently looked at the tracking data on the screen of his mobile phone. After the signal was about five or six kilometers away from him, Gao Yuan started the vehicle and followed the direction of the signal...
After about a few hours, the tracking signal went back and forth several times, and finally stopped completely at one place after nightfall.
Gao Yuan drove to the location of the signal and saw that it was a three-story apartment. On the stone in front of the apartment door was written "HIBARI" in three pseudonyms, which means "Skylark".
Seeing the name of this apartment, Gao Yuan suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the apartment that Miyano Akemi secretly rented behind the organization's back, as revealed by Gin and Vodka in the original work "Countdown to Heaven"!
In other words, this apartment should not have been noticed by the organization yet, and Miyano Akemi should be in this apartment at this time - what a blessing!
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan parked his car in the parking space in front of the apartment, then got out of the car and came to the apartment. As a friend of Masami Hirota, he showed the manager of the apartment the photo of Masami Hirota on his phone and asked about it.
Behind the room rented by Masami Hirota, Gao Yuan came to the door of the room pointed out by the administrator and rang the doorbell.
Without any disguise, Gao Yuan stood in front of the door of this room. With the peephole, people in the room could directly recognize Gao Yuan - Miyano Akemi, I have found this place, you are not still avoiding me now, are you?
!
Thinking like this, Gao Yuan quietly waited for the response from the door.
After a while, the door to the room was opened, and Miyano Akemi, wearing a beige plaid pajamas, appeared in front of the door in shock, but helplessly.
It seemed that she had just taken a shower, her long black hair was hanging around her back without being tied up, and there was a faint fragrance of shampoo on her body. Just like that, Miyano Akemi looked at Gao Yuan at the door, slightly stunned, but nothing happened
Said, extending his hand to invite Gao Yuan into the room——
"Miyano Akemi, are you sure you want to do this?"
After entering the room and closing the door, Gao Yuan went straight to the point and said seriously, "I have seen through your trick!"
