Stay away from Conan

Chapter 238 Miyano Akemi’s Devotion (Part 1)

"Doctor, are you still okay? Hurry up and help me recharge!"

At Dr. Ali's house, Conan handed his tracking glasses to Dr. Ali and asked Dr. Ali to charge the glasses.

Just today, when Conan used this pair of tracking glasses to track the transmitter attached to Hirota Masami's watch, he chased it outside an arcade. Because the glasses were out of power, he could not continue tracking, so now Conan came to Ah Mi Dr. Li, I need to charge my glasses.

"Hey, don't be anxious!"

Dr. A Li took the glasses and found the charging cable for charging the glasses, "Haste makes waste!"

"But if we don't hurry up..."

Facing Dr. A Li's slow movements, Conan said impatiently.

"You weren't like this before."

While looking for the interface on the glasses and connecting the charging cable to the charging port, Dr. Ari said, "No matter how urgent you are, if you don't act calmly, you won't be able to become an excellent detective."

As he spoke, Dr. Ali paused and seemed to think of something before continuing:

"Do you remember? The one-billion-yen cash truck robbery that happened a few days ago."

"Well, the newspaper said there were three prisoners."

Conan nodded in response, remembering it clearly.

"A guard wanted to take the criminals unawares and subdue them, but he was killed instead. This is the fate of criminals who underestimated them."

Dr. Ali advised, "Your body will shrink today because you underestimated the enemy too much, right?"

"That's true, but..."

After being lectured by Dr. A Li, Conan still wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Dr. A Li's next words.

"This incident has evolved from a simple search for someone to a murder case. If you underestimate the enemy and act alone, you may encounter something unexpected."

"But, even if I take Uncle Maori with me..."

"Calm, collected, and cautious. Isn't your favorite Sherlock Holmes always like this?"

Dr. Agasa said, "And I'm not talking about Detective Mori."

"This incident does sound quite strange."

Just as he was talking, Gao Yuan came out of the basement and picked up the conversation between the two at the right time.

"Mr. Akechi? Are you here today?"

Seeing Gao Yuan coming, Conan said in surprise.

"Oh, Gao Yuan, it seems that you have almost finished debugging the software for me, right?"

Dr. A Li also looked at Gao Yuan at this time and asked casually.

"Well, it's indeed the software written by Dr. Ali. The effect is amazing."

Gao Yuan said sincerely, and then looked at Conan.

"It just so happens that I have nothing else to do next, why not share with me the information you have now?"

In response, after watching the tracking glasses start to charge, Conan nodded to Gao Yuan and told Gao Yuan the cause and process of the incident.

"That is to say, when you used the tracking glasses to trace the video game store, the big man you met was Hirota Akira who entrusted another detective to find Mr. Hirota Kenzo, right?"

After listening to Conan's narration, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and asked.

"That's right."

Conan said seriously, "Ms. Hirota Masami said she was Mr. Hirota Kenzo's daughter, and Hirota Akira told the detective that he was Hirota Kenzo's younger brother. But the problem is, Hirota Masami said she was He is from Yamagata Prefecture, but Akira Hirota is from Kyushu. Their accounts are completely different, but they are looking for the same person. "

"In other words, one of them is lying."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan said, "One of the two of them was looking for Hirota Kenzo for another purpose. Considering that Hirota Kenzo was killed now, the murderer should be a tall man, and he should be tracking The signal from Ms. Masami Hirota’s watch found Akira Hirota. I have reason to believe that Akira Hirota is the liar.”

"I also feel that way."

Conan said, "Perhaps Hirota Akira killed Mr. Hirota Kenzo, captured Miss Hirota Masami, and then took Hirota Masami's watch, which is why I tracked the signal today, but I saw Hirota Akira. It’s just a pity that the glasses happened to be out of power at that time, otherwise I would have been able to confirm further!”

"kindness."

Gao Yuan nodded at this, "Let's wait until the glasses are fully charged and continue tracking. You should be able to find out what's going on..."

After saying that, Gao Yuan thought for a while:

"Just in time, I'll accompany you to take a look after the battery is fully charged. By the way, call on Maori-san and the others. If Maori-san hadn't been worried about Miss Hirota Masami this time, maybe this incident wouldn't have been brought to your attention. Discover."

Conan had no objection to this, so after Dr. Ali fully charged the tracking glasses, Conan and Gao Yuan put on the glasses and went to the Maori Detective Agency first.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Akechi, where is your car?"

As they walked on the road, Conan asked with some confusion.

"Because I bought a second-hand car, I had some minor problems, so I went to a repair shop to repair the car."

Gao Yuan said helplessly.

…

"Hey! Does this kid really know where that man lives?"

Sitting in the taxi, Mouri Kogoro said with disbelief.

"Well, he said he met him on the way back from the video game city."

Gao Yuan explained for Conan.

"Can you believe what the kid says?"

Mouri Kogoro still had some doubts about this.

"But now I can only believe him."

Mao Lilan on the side also helped, "Because we have no other clues!"

In this regard, Mouri Kogoro didn't say much and could only ask the driver to follow Conan's instructions.

Finally, according to the source of the signal seen on the tracking glasses, everyone arrived in front of a high-rise hotel.

"He lives in this hotel?"

After getting out of the car, Mouri Kogoro said something strange, and Conan looked at the source of the signal that was now close at hand, and rushed into the hotel regardless of it.

In response, Mouri Kogoro and others had no choice but to follow in.

When he came to the front desk, Mouri Kogoro took out the photo of Akira Hirota he got from another detective and confirmed with the front desk clerk whether this person lived here. After getting the exact answer and the room number where he lived, , everyone came to the elevator, pressed the upward button, and waited for the elevator to arrive.

At this moment, Conan and Mao Lilan were both very anxious, while Gao Yuan secretly put his phone back into his pocket and waited quietly for the elevator door to open.

Soon, the elevator reached the first floor and the door opened.

In a hurry, Conan ran straight into the elevator without looking. As a result, he bumped into a trolley full of suitcases, knocking all the suitcases off the trolley.

The person pushing the trolley was a woman with long black hair, wearing a beret, sunglasses, and colorful makeup. She looked very young, but gave people a very mature feeling.

"ah!"

The woman seemed a little surprised when she saw a few people outside the elevator.

"sorry!"

Although he was anxious, Kogoro Mouri immediately stepped forward to help move the suitcase knocked down by Conan back to the trolley, and Takato also helped him by the way.

Although the suitcase was indeed heavy, Gao Yuan looked at the woman after moving the suitcase back to the trolley.

It seemed that there was a tacit understanding. When the woman left the elevator with the trolley and Gao Yuan entered the elevator to wipe herself, Gao Yuan secretly stuffed something into the other person's hand. Then, when Mouri Kogoro and the others all got on the elevator, after pressing the floor button, the elevator The door is closed.

Arriving at room number 802 on the eighth floor, Kogoro Mori began to knock on the door hard and shouted:

"Hey! I know you're in there! Come out!"

However, such behavior did not receive feedback from the room, so Gao Yuan on the side tentatively turned the door handle——

"The door is unlocked."

With a serious expression on his face, Gao Yuan said this and pushed the door open.

But the moment the door was pushed open, looking in from the door, Mouri Kogoro, Mouri Lan, and Conan were completely frightened by the sight in front of them——

The tall man named Hirota Akira was holding a can of beer in his hand, his eyes wide open, his mouth wide open, and he was lying against the wall opposite the door with a ferocious expression -

"He is dead!"

When he came to the room, Gao Yuan tentatively felt his pulse with a serious expression and said so.

"This smells like potassium cyanide?"

After hearing Takato's words, Mouri Kogoro also walked to Hirota Akira's body, took the open beer can in his hand with a handkerchief, smelled it and said, then thought for a moment, and couldn't help but come to the conclusion:

"I know. This guy couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience, so he committed suicide!"

"So, where is Miss Yami!"

Faced with this situation, Mao Lilan asked urgently.

"Anyway, contact the police first!"

Mouri Kogoro said.

At this time, Conan looked at Hirota Akira's right hand and saw that the watch with the transmitter on it was indeed worn on his hand - and sure enough, this man had snatched Miss Masami's watch.

"An empty aluminum box?"

While he was thinking, Conan suddenly heard Gao Yuan behind him, murmuring in a doubtful tone to the open empty aluminum alloy boxes piled aside.

"etc!"

At this moment, Conan seemed to connect all the clues he had -

It is obviously the same person, but there are two clients with different statements.

There is also the strange behavior of Hirota Kenzo driving the same route every day after get off work.

Plus these boxes…

maybe……

"What? Mr. Hirota is single?"

At this time, Mouri Kogoro, who was on the phone with Officer Megure, suddenly blurted out because he heard a surprising clue, "He doesn't have a daughter at all... and he is a native of Tokyo! How is that possible!"

Hearing this, Conan smiled knowingly - I have linked these two murders together!

"Mr. Akechi, I know what's going on!"

Thinking of this, Conan walked to Gao Yuan, pulled the corner of his clothes, and said quietly and seriously.

"What a coincidence, I already know about it."

Looking at Conan's expression at this moment, Gao Yuan also whispered and said lightly, "They should be the robbers in that billion-yen cash truck robbery!"

With that said, Gao Yuan took Conan aside, and the two began to communicate about the incident——

Hirota Masami, Hirota Kenzo, and Hirota Akira, the three of them were the robbers in the billion-yen robbery. However, Hirota Kenzo escaped with the money alone afterwards, so Hirota Masami and Hirota Akira commissioned detectives to start the investigation. Find the whereabouts of Hirota Kenzo.

After Hirota Kenzo was finally found, Hirota Akira killed him and silenced him. Hirota Masami and Hirota Akira took the money and prepared to divide the spoils in this hotel. However, they did not expect that Hirota Akira was also silenced by Hirota Masami. All the money was taken away by Hirota Masami.

In this way, Gao Yuan told Conan his thoughts, and Conan added:

"More than that. Kenzo Hirota used to work for a taxi company. He would drive on the same road every day after get off work. It should be a practice for escaping after a robbery!"

In response, Gao Yuan nodded - very good, the delay is enough!

Thanks for the reward Kashimusi
