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

Chapter 549: Kogoro Mouri was caught having a secret meeting with someone?

Based on various considerations, and Conan's paranoia, he had a brief conversation with Rei and decisively decided to cover up the body again. He planned to go to a place with a signal to call the police after finding Hiroki and Haibara Ai.

Of course, it was Lie who took the initiative to cover the body again.

In addition, when they resumed their search for Haibara Ai and Hiroki, they found the body of a little bear with several stones on its body in the forest not far away.

When they were about to go forward to check, suddenly, a strange voice sounded behind them:
"What's going on? Why are there so many children here?"

Conan, Ayumi and the others were startled and looked back vigilantly.

An old man with narrowed eyes and a hunting rifle on his back was frowning at them... or rather, mainly at Dr. Agasa and Rei: "This is not the entrance to the hunting area, how did you get in? You are an old man and an adult, how can you bring a child to such a dangerous place?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a hunter who came to warn them with good intentions, Dr. Agasa immediately scratched his head in embarrassment. However, he had just seen a fresh corpse, so it took him a little longer to organize his words, and Lie interrupted him:
"Oh! Sorry! Actually, we were taking the kids out to pick mushrooms. However, two of them seemed to have lost their way and ran over here. I wonder if you have seen them?"

As he spoke, Rei lifted Conan up to demonstrate, "They are about the same age as this child, but taller than him, one boy and one girl~"

"Is there a child lost?"

The squinty-eyed uncle was slightly stunned, then looked at Conan and shook his head, "I didn't see those children when I came here... Are you sure they went this way?"

"We are sure!" Conan said cutely, "Because we picked up their belongings that fell on the ground when we came here just now, so they must have come here, there is no mistake about this!"

As Conan finished speaking, another tall and thin hunter came over and said with a click of the tongue: "This is difficult. I heard that there are bears in this forest. If we don't find the people, we might have been killed by the bears."

Conan's eyes twitched when he heard what this person said.

This hunter is really heartless.

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta had already imagined the scene of Hiroki and Haibara Ai being eaten by a bear, and their tears were streaming down their cheeks. “How, how could this happen!”

"I say, why do you talk like that?" The squinting hunter looked at the other party with some dissatisfaction, then smiled kindly and said to Ayumi and the others, "Okay, kids, don't be sad. In fact, bears usually avoid people. I think they are just temporarily lost."

Ayumi and the other two were obviously comforted.

After the two hunters, another hunter who looked a little old discovered them.

After learning about the situation, the oldest hunter took the initiative to call on the other two to help with the search.

Lie was naturally grateful for the hunters' kindness, and took out a few lollipops from his bag as a thank-you gift... Of course, the hunters refused to accept them.

Conan opened his eyes wide and looked at the three hunters carefully one by one - if there were no other hunters in the hunting area, then one of these three people must be the murderer!

Moreover, if Hiroki and Haibara Ai witnessed the other party killing someone, the other party would most likely silence them.

Fortunately, these two are not ordinary people...

Besides, I guess Mr. Lin has already considered this a long time ago, right?
Conan thought so, looking at Lie who had a smile on his face, and felt thoughtful.

But really… who knows?
Noticing Conan observing him, Retsu turned his head and gave a bright smile.

……

The sun rises and sets, and then it gradually sinks to the west, and the sky becomes slightly dark.

The streets of Shibuya's commercial district were still bustling with people coming and going. Later in the day, the neon lights in this area would light up in patches, making the city a firefly in the darkness. However, at this moment, the high-rise buildings, the shadows everywhere, and the crowds of people made it a little depressing... But in fact, few people felt this way.

Including Xiaolan and Sonoko, who have finished experiencing the game and are preparing to return to Beika Town.

"As expected, this is a game jointly developed by the companies under the names of Tokiwa Group and Brown City Group." Sonoko took Xiaolan and walked excitedly on the street leading to Beika Town, not even caring that she was walking in the wrong direction. "When the game console is officially released, I will definitely buy one to try it out!"

She and Xiaolan each had a silver card in their hands, which was the proof of the game they had just tried.

The games developed by Libora are still in the "testing" stage. Although they are free and open to the public, the number of places available each day is limited, and the actual game requires the use of equipment specially developed by Libora.

After finishing the game, Sonoko specifically asked Iori Fujimu to inquire about the price of the gaming equipment.

The amount of more than 9 million yen can be considered a sky-high price for a normal family, but in Sonoko's eyes, it is just a string of numbers... If it were not still in the testing phase and not available for sale, Sonoko would probably have bought one on the spot.

Looking at the excited Sonoko, Xiaolan kindly reminded her, "But Sonoko, didn't you say that Syndra Corporation would also have a game conference in a few days?"

"Ah? That? There's no rush. I heard that Syndra's game is also a virtual game, but it has not yet been tested in the market. This press conference is just the first test. We don't know how long it will take for the actual release. It will definitely be much slower than that of Libra. There is no conflict at all." Sonoko waved her hand indifferently.

"That would be great..."

As they were talking, the two men came to an intersection and stood in front of the zebra crossing waiting.

While waiting, Suzuki Sonoko inadvertently glanced at the glass window of a nearby coffee shop.

At first glance, she didn't notice anything wrong.

But when she was about to look away, she suddenly realized something, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the transparent glass window of the coffee shop again.

Then, Sonoko quickly pulled Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan! Look over there..."

"Huh?" Mao Lilan turned her head in confusion, "What's going on there...huh?"

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

There were two people sitting at the coffee table near the glass. The one facing the road was very familiar to them - it was Kogoro Mouri, Xiaolan's father!

As for the person sitting opposite him, he could only see her back, but judging from her figure and clothes, she should be a young woman with a good figure.

The scarlet street lights turned green.

The expression on Mao Lilan's face also successfully changed from sunny to cloudy, and an invisible aura was generated around her whole body.

Great, her dad has been missing since early morning... So he went out with her to see another woman without telling her mom?!

I can't bear it! !

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the almost evil Mao Lilan and swallowed hard, "Um, Xiaolan, calm down... maybe that's your father's client?"

"It's possible." Mao Lilan's face was still dark, and she walked towards the coffee shop aggressively, "That's why I want to ask clearly!"
