Chapter 124 The ‘last’ meeting

Aipado Street, inside a cafe.

"Sister! What dangerous things are you doing? I heard the last time Gin made a phone call. What did he promise?"

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

"Don't worry, Shiho." Miyano Akemi smiled and put on light makeup, "You can work with peace of mind now, and I will be able to take you out of the organization soon."

Miyano Shiho was stunned, "Leave? Sister, what are you talking about?"

It is impossible for the organization to let people go...unless they are dead.

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

"..."

It is impossible to find a boyfriend, even in this life!

Miyano Shiho swore with a dark face.

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

Miyano Shiho complained from time to time that Gin was urging her to make medicines, and forcing her to write self-reflections and so on...

Miyano Akemi felt helpless and funny when she heard this.

"Speaking of which, I met a very interesting child recently." Miyano Akemi thought of her recent experience, and for some reason her tone was filled with expectation, "Really, very smart and keen... His name is also very special.

, it’s called Edogawa Conan~”

Miyano Shiho: "..."

What's the name of this detective novel author? Are both his parents huge fans of Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle?

Miyano Akemi seemed to have noticed what she was thinking, and said with a squinted smile: "It's a strange name, right? And he's the child who lives in the house of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro! His appearance has occasionally been printed in newspapers before.

Woolen cloth."

...a famous detective?

Miyano Shiho suddenly remembered something and was lost in thought for a moment.

Speaking of which, there was no trace of the person she went to last time... Could it be that he was still dead?

The two chatted for a while, and it was time for this meeting.

"Okay, it's almost time for me to leave."

Miyano Akemi stood up, "It's almost time for my mission to come to fruition..."

"elder sister……"

"Well, don't worry." Mingmei hugged Miyano Shiho and showed a doting smile, "When I'm not here, remember to eat well."

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

Miyano Shiho pouted angrily, making Miyano Akemi unable to stop laughing.

——

Maori Detective Agency.

"It's strange...why can't I get through?"

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

Mouri Kogoro didn't care at all about calling back to the client, and said casually: "That's for sure, she registered it in person, and she called back several times."

"But then why hasn't anyone answered my call?"

Mao Lilan looked worried.

But neither Kogoro Mori nor Conan realized the seriousness of the problem: "Speaking of which, 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, her expression a little ugly, "No, I'd better go to that apartment and have a look..."

A week ago, on February 18th, a girl came to the detective agency looking for her father.

The girl called herself Masami Hirota and said that her father Kenzo Hirota had been missing for several weeks. The only information provided was a photo and the famous cats he raised: "Hao", "Kuai", "Emperor", "King"...

Mouri Kogoro and Conan searched for about a week, but could not find this person named 'Kenzo Hirota' within Tokyo...

In the end, Kogoro Mouri's small universe exploded. According to Conan's reminder, he thought that the other party should especially like to watch horse racing, and finally found him at the horse racing scene.

After receiving the call, Masami Hirota came quickly and, led by Kogoro Mori, went to the home of Kenzo Hirota and successfully allowed the father and daughter to meet.

But two days after coming back, Mao Lilan wanted to make a return visit and ask about the other party's situation, but the phone couldn't be reached...

——So what happened just now happened.

"Hey Xiaolan, where are you running?"

Mouri Kogoro wanted to stop him, but Mao Lilan was an activist and ran downstairs while talking...

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

Xiaolan likes to run around alone, which is really worrying!

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

"You said he's dead?!"

"Well, the police just came yesterday, and the man was hanged." The old lady rubbed her chin and thought, "So this man is a man who ran away from home... No wonder it's so strange."

"Strange?" Conan's expression condensed.

The old lady landlord stopped thinking and said: "Yes, he paid the rent for more than a year, and all of it was in cash."

Conan frowned involuntarily.

There was that feeling that something was wrong...

Mao Lilan was even more anxious at this time, "What about her daughter? She is the girl who found him just a few days ago..."

The old lady's voice deepened: "I'm afraid that girl was also killed, right?"

"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 true. After our identification, we found that there were fingerprints of a third party on the rope, so it must have been homicide..."

After Officer Megu knew their purpose, he did not hide it and said everything he could:

"But Brother Maori...and Conan, I know you also want to participate in solving the case, but this prisoner obviously fled directly after the murder. He didn't leave any clues at the scene, and his fingerprints didn't match anyone in his residential area. You guys

My reasoning ability may not be of much use."

"Well, Officer Megure, that Miss Masami we were talking about just now..." Mouri Kogoro looked unhappy.

Officer Memu shook his head: "We didn't see this person, but we found the dropped glasses next to the deceased..."

Officer Megure took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses from his evidence bag.

The three of them were shocked—these were Ms. Masami Hirota’s glasses!

Moreover, Officer Megure just told them that the murderer was probably a tall man... Then Miss Masami might...

Mouri Kogoro couldn't accept his conjecture, "Police Department! Didn't you find Mr. Chiyan and Hiroki? With their abilities-"

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

Conan quickly reminded Mouri Kogoro, who was a little out of control.

Although Mouri Kogoro is sometimes unruly and unconventional, his inner sense of justice is still very strong.

Just when everyone was immersed in the tragic thought that 'Miss Yamei might be killed', Conan suddenly had an idea -

He remembered that he had left something on Miss Yamei's body!
