Conan: I can see keywords

Feeling a little discouraged, Conan lay down for a while and suddenly jumped off the sofa and ran out.

Mao Lilan came out with some fruit and saw Conan leaving. She shouted, "Where are you going, Conan?"

"I'm going to find Brother Lingchuan, Sister Xiaolan, you don't have to worry about me~"

"I won't be back for dinner!"

Without even turning his head and waving his hand, Conan rushed downstairs with a clear destination.

He also recently discovered Lingchuan while following Maori Kogoro's talent search. He works in an izakaya, and according to him, that kind of place is the best place to collect information.

In order to investigate clues about Poker, Lingchuan plans to work there for a period of time in the future.

Regarding this case, Conan really couldn't understand how a living person could disappear?

When investigating the place where Kenzo Hirota worked, his colleagues also said that it was difficult to get along with him.

From this perspective, there is no one who is particularly familiar with Kenzo Hirota and can provide them with help!

That's why Conan wanted to find Lingchuan now. With his reasoning skills and combined with his investigation in the past few days, he might find some clues.

"Missing for a month?"

New izakaya at Chang Ye.

Lingchuan was wearing work clothes, holding a handkerchief and a wine glass, and was very surprised by Conan's sudden visit.

"Yes, to be exact, it's been more than a month." Conan lay there weakly, "According to what Hirota Masami said, Hirota Kenzo usually doesn't go anywhere else except for work."

"But I went to investigate where Kenzo Hirota worked. Kenzo Hirota is a difficult person to get along with. There are very few people who are particularly familiar with him."

"Hirota Masami seems to miss her father very much. She calls her uncle every day to ask if he has any clues. She called three times today alone."

Lingchuan turned his back to put down the cup. After listening to Conan's words, he put down the handkerchief and said, "Let me see the photo."

"Here, that's him." Conan took out a copy of the photo from his pocket and handed it to Lingchuan. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

"There's no clue at all just looking at the photo."

Looking at the familiar person in the photo, Ling Chuan lowered his eyes and asked, pretending not to know him, "He's a very honest person. He shouldn't have any enemies, right?"

"Yes, the place where he works describes him as the type who works quietly and rarely communicates with others."

"Where's the cat in the photo?"

Conan took a look and said, "According to Hirota Masami, it was raised by Hirota Kenzo himself and its name is 'Kuai'."

"Quick? What a strange name."

Lingchuan wiped the photo gently, not intending to cause trouble for himself.

The person in the photo is the robber who ran away with the money. I think the 'Hirota Masami' who went to the Mori Detective Agency is the leading woman.

'She seems to be a good shot?'

Thinking of this, Lingchuan returned the photo to Conan.

Just when he was about to say that he couldn't come up with any clues based on the photos alone, the TV in the store happened to turn on the horse racing channel.

"…This is the fifteenth consecutive victory of the Haokai Emperor…"

Listening to the broadcast, Lingchuan quickly lowered his eyes.

"The King of Holiness?" Conan stroked his chin, "I feel a little familiar..."

"Cat." Ling Chuan, who had to remind him, sighed softly, "But... there shouldn't be so many coincidences, right?"

"Oh right! The names of the four cats!" Conan's eyes lit up after he remembered what he had just remembered. But when he heard Lingchuan's next words, he felt a little discouraged.

"That's right, how could it be such a coincidence..."

Continue lying down and thinking.

But because of this episode, Conan's heart was completely restless.

Finally he looked up and said, "Forget it. It doesn't matter if I go and take a look. It's a clue anyway."

"What if it's really what we think?"

After hearing this, Lingchuan knew that he couldn't stop it.

He smiled and nodded, "Okay, go check it out. Remember to let me know if you find any clues."

"I will!"

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

Conan was anxious as today's horse racing was about to end and he needed to tell Kogoro Mori the news as soon as possible. It would be great if he could really find Kenzo Hirota at the racecourse.

Even if we don’t find it, the names of the four cats are also a starting point.

Lingchuan stared at Conan's back as he left, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.

Conan didn't know that Kenzo Hirota was one of the robbers who robbed the armored car, but he knew.

And the Hirota Masami who was looking for Hirota Kenzo was 100% the petite robber who had committed the robbery that day.

When faced with Kenzo Hirota who ran away with the money, she couldn't find him and was so anxious that she asked a detective for help.

This was beyond Lingchuan's expectations.

But no matter what, he had taken the money and spent it.

Even if Conan helps Hirota Masami find someone, it doesn't matter.

What Lingchuan is struggling with now is whether or not to take this opportunity to attack Conan?

Any chance?

some.

Not a lot.

Conan helps to find the person, and he will definitely contact Hirota Masami after finding her.

If Lingchuan operates properly, he can create the appearance that "the robbers use the detective and then get rid of the detective to achieve their hidden purpose."

But at the same time, doing so is also risky.

If there is even the slightest mistake, Lingchuan might be exposed.

Lingchuan was struggling over whether to take the gamble this time.

If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't know if there would be another suitable reason to wait for the next one.

"The robber is looking for a detective to help..."

While I was distracted, a customer came into the store.

Lingchuan came back to his senses and maintained a smile on his face, "Sorry, we are temporarily closed." He didn't have time to receive any guests now.

This izakaya was bought by Lingchuan with his remaining money. Of course, he is not the owner in name only, he just came here to work.

The reason for buying this store is simple - to find good helpers and collect more information.

But he didn't expect to meet Conan.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Lingchuan had thought of this possibility when he made the decision at the beginning.

It's not that we are unprepared. It's just that the time has come earlier.

Sometimes the dark under the lamp can have a good concealing effect.

"Ah? But it's only two o'clock in the afternoon..." The visitor was very disappointed.

Lingchuan looked at the girl who was speaking and hesitated, "Minors...can't drink."

"What? I'm an adult!" The young girl tugged at the woman next to her.

"You can ask my sister, right? Yuki~"

Yoshikawa Yuki touched the little girl's forehead and said, "Yes, she is an adult, so you don't have to worry."

"Is that right?"

Lingchuan expressed doubt.

The little girl in front of him looked too young and incredibly pretty.

With her careful dressing, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a walking doll.

"Okay, even if that's the case, we're closed. If you really want to drink, we can only ask you to go to another store."

Ling Chuan said politely, "I'm so sorry."

"It's so early..." The little girl wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by Yoshikawa Yuki.

"Okay, Orika, it's okay, let's go to another place and don't embarrass others."

Yoshikawa Yuki looked at Lingchuan and said, "Excuse me."

"It's okay, take care." Lingchuan said goodbye with a smile.

Chapter 35 Prepare for Action

Keywords: death, accomplice, gangster-eating-gangster

It was a new day. Lingchuan, who had already activated 'Disguise and Voice Changing' and 'Firearms Mastery', bought the necessary materials separately from outside, walked into the Baiqing Hotel with simple disguise, and checked in again with a fake identity.

I don’t know whether it is lucky or unlucky, but this time the floor is still the eighth floor.

812.

Lingchuan opened the door and walked in. The dim environment made him inexplicably excited.

Putting down the various things in his hands, he walked to the window and gently opened the curtains.

Unlike room 807, although the layout of room 812 is the same as room 807, the directions of the two windows are completely opposite.

Looking out from 812, Lingchuan could just see who was entering and leaving the hotel.

It was evening and the sun was setting.

The last rays of the setting sun shone on the back of the hotel, making the streets in Lingchuan's eyes look very deserted.

"Conan should come over today, right?"
