Hearing what Sonoko said, Hattori Heiji asked in surprise.
"yes!"
Yuanzi covered her mouth and smiled:
"Kudo's woman is his childhood sweetheart Ran! She lives in the Mori Detective Agency nearby, and she is the daughter of Detective Mori!"
"Maori Detective?"
Hearing this title, Hattori Heiji was slightly surprised and couldn't help asking:
"Is it the Mouri Kogoro who suddenly became famous after Kudo disappeared?"
"right."
Yuanzi smiled and nodded:
"Kudo hasn't been to school recently, he must be hiding with Xiaolan!"
In response to this, Hattori Heiji touched his chin with his hand and pondered for a moment. He didn't know what he thought of. He seemed to think that Sonoko's statement was quite reasonable, so he nodded involuntarily.
Then, he suddenly realized something and asked slightly strangely:
"After talking for so long, who are you? Why do you know so much about Kudo?"
"Hmph!"
Hearing Hattori Heiji's question, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but fake a deep smile, and then introduced herself:
"Because I am Xiaolan's best friend, and also Xiaolan and Kudo's classmate - Suzuki Sonoko!"
"I see."
After listening to Sonoko's self-introduction, Hattori Heiji nodded, and then murmured thoughtfully:
"The Mori Detective Agency is nearby..."
Saying this, Hattori Heiji looked at the current time——
"In this case, I'll go to the Maori Detective Agency to have a look first. Anyway, no one responded to the doorbell I've been ringing for so long. I guess the detective guy isn't at home now."
After saying that, Hattori Heiji turned the brim of the baseball cap on his head from behind to the front, and then waved towards Sonoko and Xiao Ai:
"I'll come and visit later!"
With that said, Hattori Heiji walked out of the courtyard of Akechi's house and walked towards the direction of the Mori Detective Agency——
"Hey? Isn't Mr. Akechi at home?"
After hearing what Hattori Heiji said before leaving, Sonoko couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"I guess I just fell asleep and didn't hear the doorbell."
Xiao Ai glanced at Yuanzi coldly, then walked to the door of the villa, took out the key and unlocked the door——
"He has a cold after all."
"Hey! Even Mr. Akechi is sick!"
Hearing this, Yuanzi said in surprise, then lowered his head in thought and murmured to himself:
"Then I should bring some condolences..."
With that said, Yuanzi also turned around and ran towards the outside of the villa——
"I'll be right back!"
While running, Yuanzi turned around and explained to Xiao Ai.
Seeing this, Xiao Ai looked coldly at Sonoko's leaving figure, and couldn't help but recall what Suzuki Sonoko said at the end of the mountain villa incident...
Thinking like this, Xiao Ai snorted and turned his head away, his expression showing some disdain——
Whoever likes him is none of my business!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ai walked into the house neatly and closed the door hard with a cold expression. After putting her schoolbag in the study, she went to the kitchen and saw that some of the porridge she had made in the morning had been eaten.
Without paying too much attention, he walked up the stairs and came to Gao Yuan's bedroom, ready to see how he was doing now.
But when Xiao Ai opened the door of Gao Yuan's bedroom, she saw that it was empty - Gao Yuan was not still lying on the bed to rest as she expected.
"Where are you going?"
Frowning slightly, Xiao Ai felt a little strange.
However, seeing Gao Yuan's cell phone still lying beside the bed, I felt that he should still be at home, so he began to search for Gao Yuan's whereabouts in the villa from room to room.
But after searching all the rooms on the third floor of the villa, Xiao Ai could not find any trace of Gao Yuan, which made Xiao Ai even more puzzled——
"He couldn't have really gone out! He didn't even take his mobile phone! He couldn't have been confused because he was still sick!"
When she thought of this, Xiao Ai felt a little angry.
However, when Xiao Ai returned to the first floor, suddenly there was some faint movement in the study, and then she saw Gao Yuan, who was wearing a mask and was not in good spirits, walking out of the study——
"Haiyuan! Are you back?"
Seeing Xiao Ai standing in the living room, Gao Yuan couldn't help but asked unexpectedly.
"kindness."
Feeling a little strange, Xiao Ai replied - study? He just went to the underground secret room! Why?
When she thought that she had not found Gao Yuan no matter how hard she searched, but now he came out of the study, Xiao Ai immediately understood where Gao Yuan had gone just now, and also understood why the high school detective named Hattori Heiji said that even after ringing the doorbell, he could not find Gao Yuan.
No response was received——
But, why? What was he doing there? Why was he wearing a mask again? And...
As Gao Yuan approached, Xiao Ai could clearly smell the smell of disinfectant from him——
"Someone came to see you just now."
Soon, Xiao Ai's expression became cold, and she casually talked about what happened when Hattori Heiji and Suzuki Sonoko came over just now, without asking any questions about Gao Yuan's strange behavior——
There are no places in the first two floors of the secret room that require masks and disinfection, right? Then he should have gone to the room on the third underground floor to do this...
What is there in there?
"Hey? Hattori Heiji and Suzuki Sonoko?"
After listening to Xiao Ai's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but reply:
"Where are they now?"
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned what Gao Yuan was doing just now.
In fact, because Gao Yuan's mobile phone completely lost signal on the day he went to the mountain villa, and he felt uncomfortable due to illness after he came back, it was not until Gao Yuan finished lunch today and was lying in bed to recuperate that he suddenly remembered that he should help the palace.
Ye Akemi changed the nutrient solution.
Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Gao Yuan put on a mask, disinfected it, entered the third floor of the underground secret room, and replaced Miyano Akemi with new nutrient solution.
Because of this, Gao Yuan didn't notice that someone rang the doorbell at that time——
In this regard, Gao Yuan suddenly realized that it seems that a system that can observe the movement outside the villa should be installed in the basement... Or, just put the host of the existing equipment directly into the basement?
"Hattori Heiji went to the detective agency to find Kudo, and Suzuki Sonoko seemed to have gone to buy condolences after learning that you were sick."
Xiao Ai said coldly.
"Hattori Heiji went to the office!"
Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Gao Yuan said slightly surprised -
Speaking of which, is it possible that this is the "Diplomat Murder Incident" in the original work? That incident happened to be the first meeting between Hattori Heiji and the smaller Conan.
At the same time, it was also this incident that after drinking the white wine brought by Hattori Heiji due to a cold, Conan changed back to Kudo Shinichi for the first time!
"Has Conan caught a cold today?"
Gao Yuan asked suddenly.
"Yeah, pretty much the same as you."
Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at Gao Yuan and said:
"You two great detectives really don't care about your bodies..."
After saying that, Xiao Ai glanced at Gao Yuan doubtfully and said in confusion:
"What did you ask him to do?"
"nothing……"
Gao Yuan didn't know how to explain to Xiao Ai, so he changed the topic:
