I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

fuck...

Hearing this, Xiaolan and Conan both had a plant in their hearts.

Serabel didn't care. He had always been very open-minded about the fact that his advertisements were torn down.

He was the first to put up advertisements on other people's sites, so they naturally have the right to tear them down, and that's okay.

"Really, today's young people are really not pragmatic. They think about these fancy things every day. If you have time to do this, why not first understand the concept of reasoning!" Mouri Kogoro complained endlessly.

"Hey, hey, hey~ You, the great Maori detective, are diamonds, while little detectives like us are just gold..." Serabel said casually.

In fact, he didn't say the last part, which is - now we have a diamond and a gold in the same hand, shouldn't you, the diamond, be the one who really should reflect on it?

But there is really no need to say this out loud, as long as you understand it.

At least Xiaolan should have understood, so she interrupted her old father's chattering at the right time.

"Okay, dad, that's about it. What are we going to do now? Are we just going to follow Mr. Hirota behind us?"

"There's nothing we can do. This is the only thing we can do for the time being."

When the conversation got down to business, Mouri Kogoro immediately corrected his attitude.

"After all, the other party is a missing person who ran away from home on his own initiative. If we rush over rashly, it may cause his resentment and resistance. Let's just follow and confirm his current residence."

"In that case, I'll call Miss Hirota Masami. Dad, please continue to follow me. Then I will bring Miss Hirota Masami over to join you." Xiaolan has the ability to empathize. "After all, the missing person is Miss Yami’s father, she must want to reunite with her father as soon as possible.”

Mouri Kogoro carefully considered his daughter's proposal, and then nodded in agreement: "Okay, Nalan, please contact Miss Hirota. We will continue to follow and go in the current direction. It is estimated that Mr. Hirota will go to rice flower next." The market, if everything goes well we can meet there."

"It's just right, then I won't call you here." Serabel said lazily, "Anyway, your client is an uncle-nephew relationship with my client, so all you need to do is make a phone call."

"Ok!"

So Xiaolan left the team.

Sera Bell, Mouri Kogoro and Conan continued to follow Hirota Kenzo, from outside the vegetable market to the vegetable market, then out of the vegetable market, and then continued walking along the street.

After going around in circles for more than half an hour, the four people finally split into two groups and met at an intersection next to one of the rental houses built by a family in the residential area of ​​Mika Town.

Oh, there should be five people now, because Xiaolan also brought their client Masami Hirota.

As the saying goes, a daughter looks like her father. However, Miss Masami Hirota has almost no similarity in appearance with her father Kenzo Hirota. In comparison, she is a bit... too beautiful.

She has long, smooth black hair and looks to be around 20 years old. Not to mention how breathtakingly beautiful her facial features are, at least they can be considered pretty. Wearing a pair of glasses gives people a feeling of Xiaojiabiyu, and there is a bit of sister style between her eyebrows. of tenderness and strength.

"Hello."

Thanks to Xiaolan's advance care, Hirota Masami was a little out of breath when she arrived, but she still lowered her voice and said hello with a wink.

Then she noticed the extra Serabel next to Mouri Kogoro, and couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"Miss Ciao Masami, I am a detective hired by your uncle, Mr. Hirota Akira, and then I and Detective Mori... crashed on the commission." A trainee detective explained the current situation clearly in a few words.

"Thank you for your hard work, my father..." Masami Hirota nodded slightly and asked eagerly.

"It's just ahead."

Mouri Kogoro waved for her to follow him, and after walking out of the corner of the intersection, he pointed towards the road to the north.

Looking over, there was only one person walking forward slowly on the entire road. That was Kenzo Hirota, who was preparing to go home to cook after buying groceries. He was walking towards his rental house on the second floor, with a stocky and staggering back. .

"Father!"

As a call full of genuine longing echoed through the deserted alleys in the residential area, Masami Hirota ran forward without any scruples.

Hirota Kenzo, who was walking in front, suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him. His whole body jumped as if he was electrocuted, and then froze. After two seconds, he slowly and mechanically turned his head.

The reunion of father and daughter and their embrace should be a touching scene.

But Serabel noticed that Hirota Kenzo's face seemed strange when he was hugged by his "daughter". It didn't look like the relief and relief he felt after running away from home in anger and being found by his daughter after traveling all the way.

Instead, it's more like...the fear of imminent death? ?

Chapter 29 The death omen star in Miwa Town is shining!

It's a win-win-win.

Hirota Kenzo was satisfied to see his single-push King Gokuai win the championship, Hirota Masami and Hirota Akira also found their relatives, while Sera Bell and Mouri Kogoro received commission fees.

Everyone has a bright future.

The scene changed. As the four of them left the rental house where Kenzo Hirota lived some distance away, Xiaolan, who was walking along the inside of the roadside with Conan, stretched out and sighed.

"Yoga~ This way, it's a big deal. I didn't expect it to be quite smooth."

"...Hmph, I guess Shun Shun is a genius, right?"

Next to him, Mouri Kogoro snorted arrogantly and coldly, as if he felt a little embarrassed for some reason.

Seeing her old father's appearance, Xiaolan even more happily compared her hands with scissors.

"This way I am also a detective~"

hehehehehe

When Conan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly in silence, thinking that she was such a lucky woman.

"It sounds like Detective Maori has been in trouble for a while, right?" Serabel said casually with a squinting look.

"No!" Mouri Kogoro denied.

But the next second he was pricked hard by the little vest that he had stabbed into his body.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Conan and I followed my father here and there for two or three days, but found nothing. Finally, I took them to the racecourse and found it today."

"Hey! Lan!" the old father made a voice trying to save his last dignity.

"What's wrong? Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Uh……"

Facts speak louder than words, and a certain famous detective whose rank is diamond, but actually has a rank of black iron, suddenly lost his temper.

But he wanted to struggle again.

"Then what can I do? Why did Mr. Hirota think differently than ordinary people? He didn't have any communication with any colleagues in the company. But I went to all possible places. In the end, no one knew about his home. I don’t know where I live, and I don’t know what my hobbies are. I live like a lonely ghost, and I am also a lonely ghost belonging to the Bosozoku tribe.”

"Bosozoku?" This is the first time Serabel heard this term that originated in Japan.

"Well, when we went to learn about the situation, Mr. Hirota's colleagues in the taxi company said that he would stop soliciting customers at a fixed time every day, and would instead go racing along a fixed road section." Xiaolan explain.

Mouri Kogoro looked disapproving: "It's normal. People like him who don't have any communication with others must be under a lot of psychological pressure. Racing can be considered a way to vent stress to some extent."

"Well, it's possible." Xiaolan turned to Sera Bell, "By the way, how did Sera-kun think that Mr. Hirota might appear at the racecourse? Did he raise it through Mr. Hirota like me? What do you think of the names of the four cats?”

"Unfortunately, that's not the case. I don't watch horse racing at all." Serabel shrugged, "I just called the Megure Police Department and asked him to help me check Hirota Kenzo's recent consumption records."

"..."

"..."

"..."

As a short sentence blurted out, the three people walking beside them stopped at the same time and turned into beady eyes, with a rotating ring of buffer icons rising above their heads.

That was truly a whisper from Galen, silent and defence-breaking.

All I can say is that it is true.

In today's information society, the easiest way to check a person's location is to check his consumption records. After all, not many people carry a lot of cash with them these days, and most people pay by scanning QR codes online.

As long as you scan the QR code to pay, records will be left. As the police, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has absolute authority to access this information at any time.

It’s such a simple method, but why didn’t I think of it...

Conan shook his head and gave up thinking about this problem, and instead pulled Xiaolan's sleeve.

"However, there is still one thing that is a bit strange, that is, Mr. Hirota always seemed to have something wrong on his face when he saw Ms. Masami. Generally speaking, is that the reaction when father and daughter meet?"

Mouri Kogoro breathed out his nostrils and said disapprovingly: "What's strange about this? Mr. Hirota ran away from home on his own. He must have had some conflicts with his family. But now that Miss Yami has taken the initiative to chase him, I guess this time Any conflicts have been resolved."

"Yes."

Xiaolan responded casually and checked the time on her watch, then made a sound.

"Oops, we've already ordered this. It's probably too late to go to the market to buy food and cook. Why don't we all have lunch together and eat some outside."

"It doesn't matter, I can do it."

Mouri Kogoro, who had just received a reward, was very proud.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I won't go." Serabel raised her hands with her palms forward in a push-off manner, "Because I haven't agreed with my family. At this moment, Ma... Zhenzhen has probably made lunch and is waiting for me."

Mary and Masumi both started with MA. Xiaolan didn't hear anything unusual and just nodded empathetically.

"That's it, then next time."

"Well, next time."

According to universal rationality, the incident should have come to an end here.

However, in the afternoon of the next day, an emergency call came from the television department.

——Kenzo Hirota is dead.

……

Serabel received the call at three o'clock in the afternoon, and at four o'clock they had already arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Generally speaking, if an ordinary person comes to a place like this for the first time, they will feel a little nervous even if they haven't done anything bad.

However, this is nothing to do with Sierra Bell, who was once a trainee investigator of MI6.

Stepping into the door of the Metropolitan Police Department, after a few simple words about the culture of the policewoman on duty, she went straight to the elevator, following the signs that hung down from the ceiling at regular intervals.

When they found the corresponding floor according to the address sent by the Megure Police Department, Mouri Kogoro and others from the search section had just arrived two minutes ago, and they were in the small conference room of the department eagerly blowing beards and glaring at the former.

"Police sir, please tell me clearly whether Mr. Hirota committed suicide or was killed!"

"I said it was him who killed him."

Police Department Mumu struggled to take his collar back from the opponent's hands, straightened it and coughed slightly to signal him to calm down.

"Although the scene was arranged to look like a suicide, according to our investigation results, Hirota Kenzo was probably strangled to death before being hung up with a rope. And judging from the red mark on his neck, the person who strangled him was a A rather tall and strong man, estimated to be at least 1.9 meters tall."

"What about Miss Masami?" Mouri Kogoro continued to ask.

"Miss Masami's words——"

The Megure Police Department was silent for a moment, then took out an evidence bag from under the table, which contained the round-framed glasses Hirota Masami wore on her face when they met yesterday.

"Although her body was not found at the scene, judging from the items that fell, it seems that she is in danger."

"how so……"

Xiaolan covered her mouth with her hands and lost her voice.

Mouri Kogoro also punched the table with helpless regret.

In order to take care of their emotions, the Memu Police Department paused for a while before speaking again.

"Do you have any clues about the identity of the prisoner..."

squeak~

Before he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and Serabel, wearing a hooded windbreaker, strode in.

"I think it's probably only my client."?

Chapter 30 I want to change the title of the book

With the arrival of Serabel, the number of people at the table in the small conference room suddenly increased from four to five.

The two detectives gathered together, but the sad look on the police officer's face did not weaken a bit.

This is already a human life case. If a human life occurs, it is a criminal case. Since it is a criminal case, the police must intervene and cannot stay out of the matter.

"Brother Sierra, who is the client you are talking about..."

"Didn't Detective Mori say anything?"

Serabel glanced across the table at Mouri Kogoro, who looked worried about Miss Masami, and immediately understood, and then coughed lightly.
