Stay away from Conan

Chapter 181 Xiaolan is dead

"Huh? That's right."

Gao Yuan said, it turns out that the ringtone in the dream was real.

"I thought you weren't home today."

Dr. A Li said, "I've been ringing the doorbell for so long and no one has come out. But then again, at this time in previous years, Shinichi would have come out. What's going on this year?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan smiled helplessly - maybe Kudo Shinichi played too late with Mao Lilan and the others, so...

Hey, wait a minute, something is wrong!

Although I felt a little helpless yesterday when I was let go by Kudo Shinichi and others, but now that I think about it carefully, I always feel that there is a problem - Kudo Shinichi will not say it for the time being. If there is really a change in last night's plan, then he can invite his own Mao Lilan. With your character, you shouldn’t not inform yourself in advance!

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and called the mobile phones of Kudo Shinichi, Mao Lilan and Maori Kogoro, but they were not answered.

So, Gao Yuan said goodbye to Dr. Ari, and then hurriedly set off for the Mori Detective Agency.

He quickly came downstairs to the Maori Detective Agency, followed the stairs to the door on the second floor, knocked on the closed door, and waited for a while, but got no response.

Gao Yuan thought about this, tried to reach out and turned the door handle, and found that the door was locked, so Gao Yuan sighed, thought about it, continued up, came to the door on the third floor, and knocked. There was a knock on the door.

But there was still no response, so he tried to turn the door handle, and then discovered that the door on the third floor was not locked.

So, with a solemn expression, Gao Yuan slowly pushed the door open, and the scene inside the room gradually unfolded in Gao Yuan's eyes as the door was pushed open little by little -

No one is there.

This was Gao Yuan's first reaction. Looking in from the entrance hall, no one was there, but the door was open.

Then, Gao Yuan slowly walked into the house, walked through the entrance hall, and saw an open door next to him, which contained the kitchen. In the kitchen, there were a lot of ingredients piled up, as well as some half-finished dishes.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan frowned slightly and continued to walk into the house and came to the living room. He saw that the table in the living room was piled with various foods, as well as piles of empty wine bottles on one side and two drinking glasses on the other side. Fill the drink glass halfway.

Looking at this scene, it's a bit like preparing for New Year's Eve dinner when a few people suddenly left because of something urgent.

It's a bit subtle - Gao Yuan thought.

After all, if I have to say it, with Kudo Shinichi's character, it is entirely possible that he received some commission last night, so he went to solve the case regardless of it, and then Mao Lilan, Mao Li Kogoro and the others naturally followed, so that's why There is the scene I see now.

As for why the phone couldn't get through, it's entirely possible that it took too long to solve the case yesterday, so they simply didn't come back. And since today is the first day of the New Year, they went to the shrine to worship together. There were too many people in the shrine. Because of this, the signal is not good and cannot be contacted.

Well, if you think about it this way, it does make sense. Could it be that I am worrying too much?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan was ready to leave temporarily and wait until he could contact them after watching the meeting.

But just as he was about to go downstairs, Gao Yuan seemed to think of something again, so he immediately dialed the number of Feili's secretary, Midori Kuriyama. Soon, the number was dialed.

"Hey, Miss Kuriyama, I am Akechi Takato."

Seeing that the call was connected, Gao Yuan immediately asked.

"Yes, Mr. Akechi, happy New Year. What can I do for you?"

Kuriyama Midori asked, seemingly surprised.

"Well...Happy New Year."

Hearing the other party's New Year's greetings to him, Gao Yuan couldn't help but was stunned, and then replied, "Miss Kuriyama told me yesterday that the lawyer went to the hotel to spend New Year's Eve at the invitation of Miss Mao Lilan, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Kuriyama Midori said.

"Then let me ask, did Miss Mao Lilan come and tell the lawyer in person?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"That's not true."

Kuriyama Midori replied, "It seems to be written on the New Year's card sent by Xiaolan."

"Okay, excuse me."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan hung up the phone - it seemed that something was indeed wrong!

With a solemn expression, Gao Yuan stopped and looked back at the scene in the room, as if he wanted to find more clues from here.

However, apart from the kitchen and living room, Gao Yuan found nothing else suspicious.

While he was thinking about it, a siren sounded from far away and came to the downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency, and then there were footsteps on the stairs.

Soon, two uniformed police officers opened the door to the third floor room and saw Gao Yuan who was thinking in the room.

Seeing the police arriving, Gao Yuan felt something was wrong, but the two policemen looked at each other, and then they couldn't help but work together to subdue Gao Yuan, handcuffed Gao Yuan, and pressed him into the police car. Came to the Mihuaxi Police Station.

Along the way, Gao Yuan said nothing. Although he felt that things were a bit unexpected, he always felt that it might have something to do with Kudo Shinichi and the others.

But after arriving at the police station, Gao Yuan found that he seemed to be overthinking. The reason why the two policemen came to arrest him was that a neighbor saw Gao Yuan running into Maoli's home alone, and mistook Gao Yuan for a burglary thief. , so I called the police.

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"

In response, Gao Yuan, who was handcuffed and left hanging in the hall, shouted helplessly.

But the police officers here seemed to be very busy, and no one paid any attention to Gao Yuan.

"The important witness in the murder case has escaped! I repeat, the important witness in the murder case has escaped! Block the main road quickly!"

At this moment, Gao Yuan heard such an order coming from the police officers' walkie-talkie, and then, a familiar voice came from not far away:

"Officer Sato! Kudo escaped!"

It was Takagi Wataru's voice.

So Gao Yuan immediately shouted towards the source of the sound: "Officer Takagi! Officer Takagi!"

He must have heard Gao Yuan's shouting. Soon, Gao Yuan saw Officer Gao Mushe's hurried look and ran over. Seeing Gao Yuan being handcuffed in the hall, he asked strangely:

"Mr. Akechi, why are you here?"

"Don't talk so much. I went to the Maori detective's house today to find someone, but I was arrested as a burglar. Please explain it to me! They didn't listen to my explanation at all!"

Gao Yuan pointed to the policeman working in the hall and said.

"ah!"

With an irritated look on his face, Takagi Wataru seemed to be complaining: "It's obviously the first day of the New Year, why do so many things happen!"

After saying that, he found the police officer in the lobby and explained the situation as a police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department. The police officer came over and went through various procedures for Gao Yuan, and then unlocked Gao Yuan's handcuffs, indicating that the misunderstanding was resolved. .

Therefore, Gao Yuan immediately followed Gao Mushe, who had not yet left, and began to ask:

"Officer Takagi, you were calling Kudo just now, right! What happened? Is it related to Kudo Shinichi? Can I help?"

"Mr. Wise."

Facing Gao Yuan's inquiry, Takagi Wataru looked tangled, as if he didn't know how to answer. Then Sato Miwako came over at this time and shouted to Gao Yuan:

"I heard that you were looking for someone at Detective Maori's house just now, right?"

"That's right."

Gao Yuan replied, and suddenly realized something, and asked: "Excuse me, is this related to Kudo Shinichi?"

In response, Sato Miwako nodded and said seriously:

"This incident may require your assistance. Kudo... is not emotionally stable right now, so please stay calm, because Xiaolan is dead!"
