Stay away from Conan

Chapter 236 Dress up as you did that day

A full week has passed since Masami Hirota commissioned Kogoro Mori to investigate and find Kenzo Hirota.

During this week, based on the clues provided by Hirota Masami, Mouri Kogoro investigated the taxi company where Hirota Kenzo once worked, asked many of his colleagues, and visited many people who knew him. At the same time, he also Since he started raising cats, he went to many pet shops to inquire, but in the end he found nothing.

This made Mouri Kogoro feel a little uninterested in this commissioned investigation. If Masami Hirota hadn't called the detective office every day to inquire about the progress of the investigation, Mouri Kogoro would have wanted to give up this commission.

These days, because Conan himself is not very interested in finding people's cases, Conan did not participate in the investigation commissioned by Hirota Masami at all, but often visited Dr. Agasa's house after school.

It just so happened that Gao Yuan sometimes went to Dr. A Li's house these days to help Dr. A Li improve his picture restoration software. So Conan, who was worried about running out of clothes, came over and asked if he could go home and pick up all his childhood clothes. He left, and said that it had been so long, and if the black organizations wanted to investigate his home, they should have already investigated his house, and it should be fine.

In response, Gao Yuan smiled, agreed to Conan's suggestion, and told him that someone had indeed investigated Kudo's house a long time ago, but since no one had noticed that Kudo Shinichi had become smaller until now, Conan's identity should now be It's extremely safe, and there's no reason for those people to investigate Kudo's house again.

So this week, Conan took out all his childhood clothes from Kudo's house, put some of them at Dr. Agasa's house, and brought the other part back to the Mori Detective Agency.

At the same time, from now on, Kudo's residence is no longer an inaccessible area.

But Conan didn't know that the reason why Gao Yuan agreed to Conan to take away all his childhood clothes was because the time for Miyano Shiho to investigate Kudo's house for the second time might be coming.

Only when Miyano Shiho discovered that Kudo Shin's one-year-old clothes were missing, could Miyano Shiho further understand from Miyano Akemi's hint that the efficacy of APTX4869 she developed has a chance of making the human body smaller.

However, Gao Yuan himself may not have expected that this day may come earlier than he expected...

Over the weekend, Maori Detective Agency——

After hanging up the phone, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"Is this Miss Yami calling again?"

Mao Lilan on the side couldn't help but asked when she saw her father looking like this.

"Yeah. It's already three links today."

Facing Hirota Masami's increasingly urgent questioning, Mouri Kogoro said anxiously.

"Damn it! He seems to rarely interact with people, and no one among his colleagues knows his whereabouts. No one knows that he has a daughter. I went to the pet shop and found no clues at all..."

Muttering to himself, Mouri Kogoro told the results of the investigation these days, and couldn't help but cover his forehead, not knowing what to do:

"Damn it! I've been looking for this for a week!"

In this regard, Conan on the side also felt that it was not that easy to find someone to entrust this time, but when he thought that Mouri Kogoro seemed to have checked all the possible directions of investigation, there was still no progress, and he seemed to have nothing to do. Better way.

"Ah! The gap has widened from four lengths to five lengths! Go ahead! The King of Speed! Five consecutive wins in G1!"

Thinking of this, on the TV, Mouri Kogoro was turning on the horse racing program, and the host was enthusiastically explaining today's horse racing competition.

"Emperor Hao Kuai?"

Hearing the name mentioned in the show, Conan seemed to have thought of something - wait! I remember the names of Mr. Hirota's four cats, which are "Kuai", "Di", "Hao" and "Wang". If the order is changed...

Thinking of this, Conan picked up the pen on the table and wrote the kana spelling of the pronunciation of these names on the paper. Then, after regrouping, when he read it out, it became - "Emperor Haokuai".

"Haha, it can't be such a coincidence."

Putting down his pen, Conan clasped his hands behind his head and said with some disbelief.

However, Conan's actions caught Mao Lilan's attention. When she saw Conan's pseudonym written on the paper, and at the same time the news of "The King of Speed" was broadcast on the TV, Mao Lilan immediately picked up Conan in surprise. The words he wrote seemed like he had discovered something extraordinary and said in surprise:

"That's right! That must be the case! Mr. Hirota likes horse racing, so he named the cat after a horse! You can definitely find him at the racetrack!"

Vowing firmly, Mao Lilan told this conclusion to Mao Li Kogoro.

However, when they heard what Mao Lilan said, Conan and Maori Kogoro both had expressions of disbelief. However, they could not bear Mao Lilan's insistence, so they were reluctantly dragged by Mao Lilan to the horse racing competition that was being held today. field, to look for Kenzo Hirota who might come to watch the game.

"Wow! This is my first time at the racecourse! It's so spectacular!"

When she came to the Tokyo Racecourse, looking at the enthusiastic audience and the fierce horse racing competition on the field, Mao Lilan couldn't help but said excitedly.

"Let's go find Miss Yami's father quickly!"

"Idiot, how could you possibly find it!"

Mouri Kogoro dismissed this. Rather than looking for people here, it would be more interesting to go directly to the horse racing competition.

"Yeah, I underestimate the work of detectives."

Conan also had this thought in his mind, "And in such a chaotic crowd..."

"Over there!"

However, before Conan and Mouri Kogoro could react, Maori Lan just turned around and saw Hirota Kenzo in the crowd. He was holding a newspaper and seemed to be comparing something.

Looking in the direction that Mao Lilan pointed, Conan and Mao Li Kogoro really saw Hirota Kenzo like this, and they couldn't help but be shocked - "I really found it!"

"Look, I'm a detective too!"

Mao Lilan couldn't help but show off to Mao Li Kogoro, "I'll call him right now!"

With that said, Maori Lan was about to step forward and call Hirota Kenzo, but was stopped by Maori Kogoro:

"Wait a minute! He is a missing person! Don't call him yet, so as not to alert the enemy. Let's follow him first and see where he lives..."

…

"What, you found my dad's current address? Okay, I'll be right over!"

With a younger voice and a surprised and hurried tone, Miyano Akemi replied to Mouri Kogoro who called, so she immediately asked for leave from the bank where she worked and simply put on makeup in the toilet. , after dressing up as he did when he went to the Maori Detective Agency that day, he hurried out of the bank and prepared to take a taxi to the address mentioned by Kogoro Maori.

However, as soon as Miyano Akemi walked out of the bank gate, a light blue "MINI" parked in front of the bank gate.

"You can't go there like this!"

Opening the left cab window, Takato shouted to Miyano Akemi, "Get in first!"

Although Miyano Akemi was surprised by this, she looked at the watch still on her right hand and found that it was not too surprising. So Miyano Akemi opened the passenger door and got into Gao Yuan's car.

"You are dressed much more maturely now than you were that day. The makeup on your face has not been taken off, and your clothing style looks like that of an adult... This is not at all what a female student who went to the Maori Detective Agency to find her father that day should look like. !”

Gao Yuan said this while driving the car.

"But time is limited. If we don't hurry up, Hirota Kenzo may run away. Besides, for a girl who is very anxious to find her father, after learning the news about her father, she should rush over as soon as possible. Isn’t it the most normal behavior? Do you know how long it takes me to put on makeup to look like that day?”

Miyano Akemi said.

"In order to rush for time, we can't reveal such a big flaw. The little detective will notice it."

Gao Yuan said, "Involving him too early will affect your plan, right? And it won't take much time."

With that said, Gao Yuan parked the car in a remote alley, and then took out a pile of makeup materials from the small back seat——

"Sister Mingmei, let me dress you up like that day."
