Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 124 The 'Last' Meeting

Inside a cafe on Beihu Street.

"Sister! What dangerous things are you doing? I heard everything when Gin called last time. What did he promise?"

Miyano Shiho looked at her sister, Miyano Akemi, anxiously and worriedly.

"Don't worry, Shiho." Miyano Akemi smiled, with light makeup on her face, "Just focus on your work now, and I'll be able to take you away from the organization soon."

Miyano Shiho was stunned, "Leave? What are you talking about, sister?"

There is no way the organization would let anyone go... unless they are dead.

Miyano Akemi didn't explain, but just smiled softly, "Shiho, don't worry about me... Speaking of which, I'll be relieved when Shiho finds a reliable boyfriend~"

"..."

It’s impossible for me to find a boyfriend, not in this lifetime!

Miyano Shiho swore with a dark face.

After not discussing what Akemi Miyano was planning, the two began to chat casually about recent events.

Miyano Shiho complained from time to time that Gin was urging her to make medicine and forcing her to write a self-criticism...

Miyano Akemi felt helpless and amused when she heard this.

"Speaking of which, I recently met a very interesting kid." Miyano Akemi thought of her recent experience, and for some reason her tone was a little expectant, "Really, very smart, and sharp... His name is also very special, it's Edogawa Conan~"

Miyano Shiho: "..."

What's up with this detective fiction author's miscellaneous name? Are both of his parents crazy fans of Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle?

Miyano Akemi seemed to have sensed what she was thinking, and smiled with narrowed eyes, "It's a strange name, right? And he's a child who lives in the home of the famous detective Maori Kogoro! His appearance was occasionally printed in the newspaper before."

...a famous detective?

Miyano Shiho suddenly remembered something and was absent-minded for a moment.

Come to think of it, there was no trace of the person she visited last time at his house... Could he still be dead?

The two chatted for a while, and the time for this meeting arrived.

"Well, it's about time I leave."

Miyano Akemi stood up and said, "My mission is almost over..."

"elder sister……"

"Well, don't worry." Mingmei hugged Miyano Shiho and smiled dotingly, "Remember to eat well when I'm not around."

"I know, don't treat me like a child!"

Miyano Shiho pouted angrily, causing Miyano Akemi to laugh uncontrollably.

-

Maori Detective Agency.

"That's weird... why can't I get through?"

Mao Lilan took the phone and repeatedly confirmed the number on the registration book with the number she dialed, "Dad, are you sure this is the number Miss Yamei left?"

Maori Kogoro didn't care about calling back the client at all, and said casually: "Of course, she registered it herself, and she called back several times."

"But why is it that no one answered my call?"

Mao Lilan looked worried.

But Maori Kogoro and Conan did not realize the seriousness of the problem: "Come to think of it, his father did look surprised when he saw him..."

"Maybe her father ran away again~" Conan guessed with a smile.

suddenly.

Xiaolan hung up the phone with a bang, looking unhappy. "No, I'd better go to that apartment and take a look..."

……

A week ago, on February 18th, a girl came to the detective agency looking for her father. The girl called herself Hirota Masami and said that her father Hirota Kenzo had been missing for several weeks. The only information she provided was a photo and the names of the cats she raised, namely 'Hao', 'Kuai', 'Di', 'Wang'...

Maori Kogoro and Conan searched for about a week, but they couldn't find this person named 'Hirota Kenzo' in Tokyo...

In the end, it was Kogoro Mouri who had his mind blown. Based on Conan's reminder, he thought that the other party must be particularly fond of watching horse racing, and he actually found him at the horse racing scene.

After receiving the call, Hirota Masami quickly rushed over and, under the leadership of Mori Kogoro, came to the home of Hirota Kenzo and successfully arranged a meeting between the father and daughter.

But two days after returning, Mao Lilan wanted to make a return visit to ask about the other party's situation, but the phone was not connected...

——So this is what happened just now.

"Hey, Xiaolan, where are you going?"

Maori Kogoro wanted to stop her, but Maori Ran was a man of action, and she ran downstairs while she was talking...

Conan was helpless, "Uncle, shall we follow?"

Xiaolan likes to run around by herself, which really makes people worry!

……

When an old landlady told them the truth at the door of the apartment they had originally identified as Kenzo Hirota's, the three Maori were all stunned:

"You said he's dead?!"

"Well, the police came yesterday and the man was hanged." The old lady touched her chin and thought, "It turns out that this man was a runaway man... No wonder he was so strange."

"Strange?" Conan's expression froze.

The landlady stopped thinking and said, "Yes, he paid the rent for more than a year, and all in cash."

Conan frowned involuntarily.

There it is, that feeling that something is wrong…

Mao Lilan was even more anxious at this time, "Then, where is her daughter? The girl who found him a few days ago..."

The old lady's voice lowered: "That girl, I'm afraid she was also killed?"

"Kill, kill?" Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro both changed their expressions, "Didn't Mr. Hirota commit suicide?"

"No, the police said that person was killed..."

The old lady shook her head.

……

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"That's right. After our identification, we found fingerprints of a third party on the rope, so it must have been murder..."

After Inspector Megure knew their purpose, he did not hide anything and told them everything he could:

"But brother Maori... and Conan, I know you also want to help solve the case, but this criminal obviously fled directly after killing someone. There were no clues left at the scene, and his fingerprints did not match anyone in his residential area. I'm afraid your reasoning skills are of little use."

"Well, Officer Megure, the Miss Masami we just talked about..." Kogoro Mouri looked unhappy.

Inspector Megure shook his head: "We didn't see this person, but we found the fallen glasses next to the deceased..."

Inspector Megure took out a pair of black-framed glasses from the evidence bag.

The three of them were shocked - these were Miss Hirota Masami's glasses!
And Inspector Megure just told them that the murderer might be a tall man... So Miss Yami might...

Maori Kogoro couldn't accept his own guess, "Inspector! Didn't you look for Mr. Akane and Hiroki? With their abilities--"

"Uncle, Hiroki and the others returned to Yokohama last week."

Conan quickly reminded Kogoro Mouri, whose emotions were a little out of control.

Although Kogoro Mori is sometimes frivolous and unreliable, he still has a strong sense of justice.

Just when everyone was caught up in the tragic thought that Ms. Yamei might have been murdered, Conan suddenly had an idea -

He remembered that he had left something on Miss Yamei!
