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

Chapter 453: Pentagram Mask
Also in Shibuya, in a hotel.

"You mean Lu is missing?"

A woman with short light blonde hair sat on the edge of the bed, looking a little unnatural.

"Yes... I just received his text message and wanted to tell him to stop pursuing her. But when I called him, the phone was disconnected and I still can't get through..."

"I understand. Tell others to hide themselves and never act impulsively."

"understand!"

After the blonde woman finished speaking, she hung up the phone with a slightly serious expression.

If someone was in trouble, then the explosion just now could not have been...

"Mom, what happened?" A girl with short black hair came out of the bathroom in the room, almost naked.

The blonde woman called 'Mom' relaxed her brows and turned away, "It's okay, it's just that someone is missing... Zhenchun! Didn't I tell you to put on your clothes before going out?"

"Ah? Oh oh! I forgot. Don't be angry, Mom!"

Seeing her daughter sticking out her tongue and retreating into the bathroom, the blonde woman sighed helplessly. Then her face became serious again. She turned on her laptop and started typing.

"The FBI seems to have captured the activities of those people a long time ago..." The blonde's eyes flashed, and a firm look appeared in her blue-green eyes. "It seems that we have to find an opportunity to contact them."

-

The next day.

Maori Detective Agency.

Conan suddenly woke up from his nightmare.

"...It's so scary." He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the familiar surroundings and the light outside the window, and let out a sigh of relief.

Just now he was surrounded by people in his dream.

...It can't be considered surrounded, because from beginning to end, he was the only one in the dream, and from beginning to end, there was darkness all around him, and there was no one except him. Even though he could hear other people calling him, he couldn't find anyone.

Very weird.

Looking at the time, Conan sighed, hesitated for a moment, took out his cell phone, tiptoed to the corridor and dialed a number.

It's only five o'clock now, I wonder if my friends are up yet...

After waiting for a while, the call was connected: "Hello? Kudo... why are you calling so early..."

Hattori Heiji's still sleepy voice came from the phone.

Conan also knew that he had disturbed his friend's rest, and felt guilty for two seconds, "Hattori, I went to see Mr. Lin last night..."

"Huh? What?"

Hattori Heiji had probably just been woken up, and his thoughts were not clear yet. It took him a while to realize what Conan was talking about. "Oh, you mean Mr. Lin and the other two people... How was it? What was the result?"

"I can't say there will be any results..."

Conan relayed what Rei told him to Hattori Heiji, who was a little confused:

"How come there is no result? If the three of them know each other, doesn't that mean everything is fine?" "But, Mr. Lin, it seems that you already know my identity." Conan had a look of despair on his face, looking up at the ceiling, "And didn't I tell you about the masked man who saved Huibara Ai before? I suspect that the masked man is Cang Fengqian, and he probably also knows that Huibara has become smaller..."

"If you calculate it this way, Mr. Lin knows the other party again. Although he said that he hasn't seen Cang Fengqian for a long time, I always feel that Mr. Lin seems to know everything and has been hiding it from us."

Conan poured out a lot of his inner thoughts to Hattori Heiji, and finally pointed out his concerns: "Hattori, do you think Mr. Lin will..."

Is it related to that organization?
Even though he didn't say it out loud, Hattori Heiji understood what Conan meant, but this time he was not as sure as to reject it.

He pondered for a while before speaking slowly: "In fact, from my point of view, I feel that Mr. Lin does not seem to be a member of that organization. And do you remember? My father invited Mr. Lin to sit in the headquarters."

"...I remember this." Conan also remembered the first time he went to Osaka, but he still had doubts in his heart, "Speaking of which, why did your father invite Mr. Lin to go there?"

Logically speaking, how could two people who had never met each other, one of whom was the chief of the Osaka Police Headquarters, so casually invite a stranger to the police headquarters?
There must be something hidden in this...

Conan even thought that maybe Rei was actually the criminal and was discovered by the other party... But if that was the case, Father Hattori shouldn't let him go so easily.

"Well... I don't know about this, but I do have some information here. But before I say anything, let me ask you, what are the characteristics of the masked man who saved Sister Haibara at that time?" Hattori Heiji lowered his voice slightly.

"Characteristics?" Conan thought about the details Huiyuan told him at that time, "I remember Huiyuan said that the man was wearing a cloak and a white mask... Oh, she said there was a five-pointed star printed on the mask."

"That's it!" Hattori Heiji's voice suddenly became excited, "The five-pointed star is on the forehead, right?"

Conan was stunned, "Yes, how did you know?"

"This, I was going to tell you after I woke up... I found it on my dad's personal computer." Hattori Heiji whispered, "I found that my dad seemed to be investigating the intelligence of the black organization, but there was no major discovery, but there was information about other aspects... such as this mask."

"This white mask with a five-pointed star on the forehead seems to be the symbol of another group. Currently in Osaka, it was found under the bed of a congressman whose house was robbed."

Hattori Heiji's voice became unclear, and it seemed that he was walking.

Hearing his words, Conan's pupils shrank slightly: Another congressman?
Why does he feel like it’s the congressmen who often get into trouble?

First, there was an explosion in the congressman’s house and the congressman was killed... Now there is a thief breaking into the congressman’s house again.

What did the MP do wrong?
Conan's train of thought went astray for a moment, but was straightened out by Hattori Heiji's words the next second: "Hey? Kudo, are you listening? I'll continue... The owner of this mask seems to be from a mysterious organization. Although this is just an isolated case in Osaka, there is more than one such person on my dad's computer."

"However, these masked men seem to be able to leave clues about their masks to the police, just like the Kaito Kidd's notice, except that one is after the fact and the other is before the fact. And currently, they are all breaking into the homes of the rich and powerful to steal, but they haven't done any other bad things."

Hattori Heiji's voice paused.

During the brief silence, Conan keenly caught the crisp "click" sound from the phone.

Conan suddenly started to panic: "Hey, Hattori..."

"what?"

"You weren't secretly looking at his computer without your dad's knowledge, were you?"

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Although it is true, but...

Isn't this the wrong point?
