Conan's other me

Chapter 53: Moths to the Flame ([-])

"Am I..." Conan said blankly, "I should thank you for not keeping me in the dark this time?"

Feng Yuan blinked innocently.

Yesterday, Conan followed Uncle Mori and Xiaolan to find Kenzo Hirota and came home very late, so today he couldn't help but sleep late.

As a result, he was woken up by the phone after not being "lazy" for a long time, and then found the note left by Xiaolan on the table.

After learning that Uncle Mori and Xiaolan had gone out to find Kenzo Hirota, Conan answered the phone by himself.

The call was from Kaedehara.

Then he was called to Dr. Ali's house by Fengyuan, and was told the general story of the matter.

After hearing the news of the organization, Conan was obviously very excited.But then he realized that this time he was the last to know again, and he became depressed again.

So there was that yin and yang strange saying.

Looking at Fengyuan with an innocent face, Conan scratched his hair helplessly, thinking that although he was the last to know this time, at least he was not like before. He didn't know until the end of the matter, so he felt better. He sighed and said: "Okay...but I still have questions."

"You didn't say how you found out." Conan questioned.

"I happened to meet Ms. Mingmei on the way home that day," Fengbara explained, "and then ran into her by chance, and she changed her attire then."

That day Fengyuan was indeed with Hirota... oh no, Miyano Akemi went out around the same time, Conan nodded, "So you suspect her?"

"Yes."

Conan didn't understand, "Just because of this?"

"Because of this."

"...Okay, then what?"

"Then I remembered that you accidentally attached a transmitter to Miss Akemi's watch—I saw it all," Fengbara continued, and Conan blushed a little, "so I followed the signal from the transmitter to find her the next day. You know the rest."

"...What about the case?"

"I've said it." Feng Yuan said perfunctorily, "I called the taxi company and asked about Kenzo Hirota's situation."

Conan wondered if he was not suitable for being a detective.

He also knew about Hirota Kenzo's situation at the taxi company from Uncle Maori before, and also knew that Hirota Kenzo often ran back and forth on a line - but he didn't connect this with the 10 billion yuan robbery at all.

Just because he and Fengyuan brought up the robbery that morning, he thought of it?

Conan couldn't help feeling jealous of himself.

He also thought that he was the subconscious mind.

After a while, Conan calmed down again and decided to expose the matter: "Where did those two guys go?"

This obviously refers to Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo.

Fengyuan had already mentioned to Conan that he was back twice.

"I went to see Miss Mingmei." Feng Yuan replied.

"Why did you go out to see me? Here—" Conan said, and immediately realized, "You still don't trust Miyano Akemi?"

Feng Yuan nodded.

Although Yusaku Kudo believes in the judgment of "Shinichi Kudo", after all, it is related to the safety of his son. After discussing with Yukiko Kudo, Yusaku Kudo finally decided to meet Akemi Miyano outside to confirm her situation in person and learn about Gin.

So early in the morning, Yukiko Kudo put on makeup for the two of them, and then went out—although she trusted Miyano Akemi, but also out of safety considerations, Fengyuan did not directly tell her the information about the Kudos and his wife, only that they were trustworthy people.

The three will meet at the Rice Flower Hotel.

Fengyuan originally wanted to follow, because his keen perception would help ensure the safety of the meeting.

but…

"Don't underestimate me, Dad, Shinichi."

Yusaku Kudo's words dispelled Fengyuan's thoughts.

So Fengyuan took on the heavy responsibility of explaining the situation to Conan.

In addition, Fengyuan also told Conan about the general framework of the plan jointly formulated by Kudo Yusaku and "Kudo Shinichi".

"There is a question," Conan asked again after learning about the action plan. "In this case, we have to find Kenzo Hirota first, right? After so many days, we have no clue at all."

"Oh... that..."

Conan had a bad feeling in his heart.

"We already have some ideas." Feng Yuan said.

……

Two days later.

Maori Detective Agency.

"I'm so sorry! Give me some more time!" Uncle Mao Li apologized to the phone, "Don't worry, I'll definitely find it today...yes... definitely this time!"

"Miss Yami is calling again?" Seeing her father put down the phone, Xiaolan asked aloud.

"Yeah, I called early in the morning to ask." Uncle Mao Li was a little depressed, "I haven't got any clues for so many days... That guy doesn't know what's going on, he doesn't deal with people, and no one among his colleagues knows his whereabouts..."

"Then do you still look for it today?" Xiaolan worriedly looked at Conan who was yawning beside him.

She herself wanted to help Ms. Yami find her father, but she was afraid that Conan, who had been following her for the past few days because of the school holiday, would not be able to bear it.

They came back very late yesterday, because they were in a hurry to sleep, so she proposed to take a bath with Conan, but unexpectedly, Conan refused directly, and went to bed without taking a bath.

Conan must be very tired, after all, he is only a child...

"Of course I'm going," Uncle Mouri said, interrupting Xiaolan's thoughts, "I don't believe there are people in this world who my name, Detective Mori Kogoro, can't find!"

"But you can't look for it like this!" Xiaolan objected, "Is there no clue?"

"If there are clues, why am I so tired?" Uncle Maori rolled his eyes, and was about to get a can of beer to relieve his worries, and then he heard Conan questioning.

"Sister Xiaolan, sister Yami once said that her father likes horse racing, right?"

"Eh? Is there?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.

"Should it be... Yes?" Hearing what Conan said, Uncle Maori also became unsure.

"Uncle, you like horse racing too!"

"So what!" Uncle Mao Li said angrily, he was too busy to watch the horse race for several days.

"That's right!" Xiaolan said, "Dad! You have the same hobbies as him. Think about where he might go!"

"Where would it be? If I were to, it would be the racetrack—"

Uncle Maori was taken aback.

"Xiao Ran! What are the names of Hirota Kenzo's cats?"

"Cat? Oh... I remember it's called Kuai, Di, Hao, Wang..."

"Quick emperor?" Uncle Mao Li, who was so excited just now, collapsed again, "I have no impression."

Conan couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.

King Hao Kuai is the name of a very famous racehorse, and Uncle Maori must know it.He thought Uncle Maori had reacted just now.

I didn't expect to fall on the last step.

"Don't talk about that," Xiaolan said, "shall we go to the racetrack?"

But anyway, the purpose was achieved.
