Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 108 Conan: I'm sorry I can't do it

Early the next morning, the doorbell of Anhe's apartment rang.

He got up from the bed sleepily, patted Xiao Ai's butt to get it off his body, then tidied himself up and went to open the door.

It should be either Conan or Toru Amuro, after all, Mr. Miyano never knocks on the door.

An He was guessing who it could be, but when he opened the door he saw nothing in front of him and he knew exactly who it was.

When I looked down, it was indeed Big Head Conan.

"You're really early."

An He yawned and let him in.

It's only eight o'clock in the morning, and this kid is really excited. It's obvious that my so-called "mission" yesterday was just a tease.

All I can say is that Conan is really serious about detective work.

"excuse me."

Conan said this symbolically, then walked into the living room without hesitation, and saw the fake Memory Egg placed in the living room as decoration.

"I didn't expect Anhe brother to like that egg." Conan was a little surprised, "When Uncle Suzuki took out the real thing, you didn't seem to be very interested."

"It's just a souvenir given by a friend." An He said casually and went into the bathroom to wash up.

The fake he made was stolen by Kuroba Kaito, and then returned in a "friendly exchange", which can indeed be said to be a gift exchange to some extent.

Although I don't know whether Kuroba Kaito would agree or not.

When Anhe tidied up his appearance, changed into a loose sweatshirt and walked out, he saw Conan standing bored under Amon's cage with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Brother Anhe, Amon is obviously a starling, why don't we hear it calling like a starling, but always calls like a crow instead?"

It seems that this question has remained in his mind since yesterday.

"I don't know either." An He really couldn't figure out what the bird was thinking. "Maybe it has the heart of a crow."

After chatting for a while, the two finally got down to business.

"Based on the model of this bug, the criminal should be within a two-kilometer radius of the apartment, and most likely has a fixed place of residence nearby."

Conan had used bugs before and had done some research on common models, so he could easily infer this from the bug's transmission distance.

After all, not all eavesdropping devices are like the one that Dr. Agasa made for him, which can transmit messages without delay over a distance of ten kilometers.

"You mean the person who planted the bug is near us?"

An He played the role of the mentally retarded NPC very conscientiously and never revealed any unnecessary information.

It was agreed that Conan would fight against his godmother, and he would definitely not favor either side.

Conan looked at him with increasingly strange eyes.

Why do I feel like Mr. Anhe is fooling me?
Obviously, this guy is a master of reasoning. He should be able to catch the person who planted the bug with a simple investigation, but he actually "entrusted" him with a child in a formal manner, just like playing house with him.
Conan's heart suddenly shuddered.

Would a normal person allow a child to come into contact with a crime involving professional equipment such as a bug?
Only then did he realize that he had hardly ever tried to act like a child in front of Mr. An He, and he suddenly felt guilty.

I hope this guy with a monster-like reasoning ability will not figure out his identity as Kudo Shinichi.
Conan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. It was all because of Mr. Anhe who always looked so nonchalant, even when talking to children. This often made him unconsciously let his guard down!
But judging from the fact that he often goes to Xiaolan to complain, he shouldn't have realized that he is no longer a child, right?
While Conan was feeling anxious and distressed, Anhe handed him a long and thin object.

"Would you like some snacks?" "Oh, thank you." Conan took it subconsciously, and then the corners of his mouth twitched.

“Is this a cat strip?”

An He nodded.

"I think Ai likes eating it very much."

"." Conan was silent.

Why do I feel that Mr. An He seems to need mental treatment more than I do?

Noticing that the atmosphere was subtly awkward, Conan considerately did not embarrass Mr. Anhe. He cut the cat strips and fed them to Ai, then changed the subject back to the bug.

"Can we use the surveillance cameras near the apartment? We should be able to find out if there are any suspicious people entering or leaving Sister Miyano's house."

An He shook his head. "There is a facial recognition system and surveillance at the downstairs door, but there is no such thing installed on other floors. This is a high-end apartment anyway, and the privacy of the residents is the priority."

"If they can get past the security and facial recognition downstairs, then the surveillance probably won't capture anything useful."

"Okay." Conan had no choice but to think of another way.

The main reason was that although Mr. Anhe "commissioned" him, he was unable to take him to Sister Miyano's house for on-site investigation and evidence collection, which greatly increased the difficulty of his investigation.

"Even I can't go to Mr. Miyano's house casually, so don't even think about it." Anhe said lightly while holding Ai.

"I believe this little difficulty won't faze you. Come on."

Conan looked at him with complicated eyes.

Finally, he could only sigh and say, "I'll try my best."

At least Anhe's apartment is on the same floor as Miyano Shiho's family, so she can use it as a reference to observe the conditions of the surrounding buildings, and infer the conditions of other residents nearby through the views from the windows and balconies. In this way, she can identify the suspect, and it is not completely impossible to start.

After spending several hours, Conan managed to narrow his target down to a few suspicious households.

They are on the 8th floor of the building opposite, the 4th floor diagonally opposite, and the 6th floor of the nearest building next door.

The curtains of these houses are tightly closed and the balconies are empty. It does not look like anyone lives there, but from the details one can see that there are people moving around inside.

Looking at Conan who was staring at other residents on the balcony like a perverted voyeur, Anhe lowered his head and met Ai's gaze, and then they both saw disgust in each other's eyes.

Perhaps Vermouth heard what he entrusted Conan to do through the eavesdropping device last night, so she didn't reveal any obvious flaws. Conan naturally wouldn't get much if he only relied on the naked eye to identify it.

Finally, it was almost noon and there was no breakthrough, which made Conan a little frustrated.

"Let's have lunch first." An He couldn't bear to see this kid stuck in a rut, so he took out his phone and asked, "What do you think of the curry at Coco Ichibanya?"

"It would be nice if we could go to Sister Miyano's house." Conan was a little depressed. "After all, the bug was found there. The criminal might have left some clues by mistake."

The door of the apartment was suddenly opened, and the two of them turned around at the same time after hearing the noise.

When Miyano Shiho opened the door, she saw two figures, one big and one small, looking at her almost synchronously.

"Are you performing some weird ritual?"

She felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
