Conan: I can see keywords

The elevator door opens.

Lingchuan felt relieved when he saw Hirota Akira coming towards him.

"I caught up with..."

However, before he could open his mouth to speak, a voice suddenly interrupted him, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused me?"

It’s Hirota Masami!

'Damn it! Isn't she out?'

Lingchuan swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Deng deng deng-"

Wearing high heels and dressed maturely, Hirota Masami hurried over from the corner. Lingchuan looked at her in surprise, a little surprised at Hirota Masami's appearance.

I didn't expect this to be her true character.

The innocent style of dressing before was probably to disguise her true self in front of the other two people.

But if that's the case, what is Hirota Masami planning to do by meeting Hirota Akira with her true nature now?

Lingchuan walked out of the elevator naturally, and when he passed by the two of them, he noticed that Hirota Masami handed a can of coffee to Hirota Akira.

Hirota Akira, who was originally angry and dissatisfied, calmed down after taking the coffee.

strange!

Did she say something? Or did she promise something?

Lingchuan frowned, he didn't dwell too much on this issue.

The most important thing at the moment is that there was a problem with his plan!

Hirota Masami, who had clearly gone out a long time ago, came back at this time and stopped Hirota Akira.

This caused problems for Lingchuan in the first step of his plan.

But it's not a big problem.

The plan of "leaving an impression on Conan" was originally intended to be the icing on the cake, and even if it failed, it would not affect the overall Lingchuan plan.

After he walked away from Hirota Masami and the other person, he headed towards the gate.

Since we can't intercept Hirota Akira, then we can just 'intercept' Conan.

He had good thoughts in his mind, but just as Lingchuan reached the door, he suddenly heard the sound of heels hitting the ground behind him.

He glanced back and the pair of black high heels quickly appeared in his peripheral vision.

'She followed?'

'No, that's not right, she's going out?'

why?

Lingchuan was confused as he couldn't understand what Hirota Masami was doing.

You can't stop Hirota Akira just to give him a cup of coffee, right?

Hirota Masami, who was walking in a hurry, did not notice Lingchuan. She strode out of the hotel, turned a corner and walked towards the parking lot.

Lingchuan wanted to follow and see what was going on, but he didn't know when Conan would come.

If you follow him at this time, you may easily miss Conan.

After some mental struggle, Lingchuan decided to deal with the biggest problem first and then think about other things.

After leaving the hotel, Lingchuan wandered around the periphery of the game hall.

Kashima Game Hall, Hirota Akira's favorite place to go.

While pretending to play games, I observed the hotel gate opposite.

Finally, when he finished the third game, a familiar figure appeared across the hotel!

Good news, Conan is here!

The bad news doesn't come alone.

Lingchuan frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed with Maori Kogoro and Maori Ran who came with them, but he quickly thought of a solution.

"Are you sure this is the place?" Kogoro Mouri felt a little dizzy after getting off the taxi.

He looked at the hotel in front of him, and said doubtfully, "Could you have seen it wrong?"

"Yes, that's right, it's here!" Conan nodded with certainty, "I saw her go in with my own eyes."

"Okay, let's go in and take a look."

"Xiao Lan, are you ready to call the police?"

Xiaolan took out her phone and held it in her hand, "No problem, Dad."

The three of them walked forward in unison. After taking a few steps, they heard whispers from the surroundings, "It seems to be true~"

"I've seen it on TV a few times, and on the news!"

As the whispers grew louder, more and more people gathered around.

Soon, Maori Kogoro and the other two were surrounded by people.

"Excuse me, are you the famous detective Kogoro Mori who has recently emerged as a celebrity?"

"Um, um! May I ask if you were really asleep when you solved the case?"

"How do you think you compare to Kudo Shinichi!?"

"Mr. Maori, can you give me an autograph? I'm your fan!"

Amid the noise, Kogoro Mouri was enthusiastically surrounded by the crowd. Amidst the questions, comparisons and excited conversations, Conan squeezed out from the gap with difficulty.

"Well, don't push, don't push, I have something important to do now..."

"Did something happen?"

“Wow—this is so exciting!”

"Let me pass!" Kogoro Mouri was surrounded and getting farther and farther away from the hotel gate.

He never knew that he was so famous?

Helplessly, noticing Conan squeezing out of the crowd, he turned to Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, you and Conan go in first. Remember, if you find anything before I come, don't alert them."

Ran Mao Li, who was not surrounded by too many people, nodded, still holding the phone in her hand.

Conan was confused at first when he saw Kogoro Mouri being surrounded by people. He vaguely felt that something was not right.

But time was running out and he didn't have time to think about the problem in detail.

It doesn’t matter whether Kogoro Mouri is there or not, he can solve the case by himself!

Without even waiting for Mouri Ran, Conan squeezed out of the crowd and rushed directly into the hotel.

"Conan! Wait!" Ran Mouri felt inexplicably nervous as she watched Conan's gradually disappearing back.

In a panic she was about to chase after him.

My wrist suddenly hurt and the phone in my hand fell to the ground.

"Eh!?"

I don’t know who kicked the phone, but it disappeared.

Ran Mao Li just lowered her head to take a look, and when she looked up again, Conan was no longer in front of her.

Lingchuan, who was not far away, gently withdrew his hand.

His right hand, which was clenched into a fist, was retracted into his sleeve, and the stone pinched between his fingertips fell out quietly because his hand was relaxed.

He took a deep breath, marveling at the accuracy brought by 'Firearms Mastery', and slowly walked into the hotel.

Now, Conan has no helper around him.

Lingchuan lowered his eyes, somewhat excited.

Standing in the hotel lobby, Lingchuan's eyes swept across the group of people and soon locked onto Conan who was acting cute at the front desk.

The lobby is not a very good place to get started.

Even if the elevator has surveillance cameras, it won’t work.

Only on the eighth floor does Lingchuan have a chance.

"Wait a little longer... wait a little longer..."

Comforting himself not to be anxious, Lingchuan paid attention to Conan's movements while trying to keep his behavior natural.

There are vending machines and a leisure area in the hotel lobby.

I bought something from the vending machine first, and then went to the leisure area to sit for a while.

Conan finally got something!

I don't know what reason he used to convince the hotel front desk, but he was finally able to find out the room number of Hirota Masami's hotel.

After getting the clue, Conan went straight to the elevator.

However, Lingchuan took another elevator just before he took action.

Lingchuan, who arrived at the eighth floor before Conan, went straight to room 802.

The layout of this hotel is such that the elevator, security passage and formal guest rooms are arranged in a corner.

There is a restroom just around the corner.

There is a surveillance blind spot there, and if Conan wants to go to 802, he must pass through there.

Lingchuan just needs to ambush there and wait for Conan to pass by!

Lingchuan strode forward with his hands in his pockets.

Hidden under the black clothes, his fingers trembled with excitement.

But the moment he touched the knife, he calmed down strangely.

In close combat, without the threat of hot weapons, stabbing the throat with a knife is the simplest and safest way.
