Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Chapter 346 Hattori Danger
Rainy day.

Maori Detective Agency.

"Why haven't Brother Heiji and Sister Kazuba arrived yet?" Director Ke yawned and asked speechlessly.

"I've been waiting for an hour and a half." Because they had an appointment to have lunch together at noon, Lin Feng, who was a foodie, came early and waited.

"I was supposed to come here a little earlier than the appointment."

Xiaolan looked down at her watch.

It's almost two o'clock, and the two men haven't arrived yet.

"Have you called him?" Uncle Maori turned around and asked while flipping through the newspaper boredly.

"I've called, but his phone seems to be out of battery." Xiaolan said with a frown.

In Osaka, Heiji's mother said that the two children had already taken the 8 a.m. flight and had already left.

"The flight at 8 o'clock?"

"If you agreed to come over at noon, isn't that a bit too early?" Uncle Maori asked doubtfully.

"I remember now. Hattori said before that they have to look for a man named Kusukawa first. That man used to be a subordinate of Kazuya's father and now works in a detective agency in Tokyo."

Xiaolan remembered that Hattori and the others mentioned Mr. Kusunoki on the phone yesterday.

But, it shouldn't delay our time here.

"It must be something rough." Lin Feng gulped down a glass of juice.

Lunch time has passed, I'm going to buy two pieces of chocolate to fill my lunch.

"Really? What could happen? They must be talking about Mr. Kusukawa from the Haido Detective Agency, right?" Uncle Maori glanced at the repairman, then turned to ask Xiaolan.

"Dad, do you know him?" Xiaolan nodded.

"Well, horse racing, car racing, boat racing, in short, he is a man who likes gambling." Uncle Maori said.

"Why did Brother Heiji and the others go looking for that person first?" Conan asked as he sat aside.

"Because that person wrote a letter to Kazuha's father, saying that he had something very important to tell him, but there was no news after that, so he asked Hattori and the others to stop by and check on him."

Xiaolan took out two ice creams from the refrigerator and handed them to Conan and Lin Feng.

"It sounds like something big must have happened!" Lin Feng said with a smile, feeling a little better after eating the cool dessert.

It's dangerous to have subordinates who suddenly lose contact!
"Don't worry, they must be too excited about something. I'll call and ask." Uncle Maori said, picked up the phone and called the Haido Detective Agency.

"Hello, Mr. Maori!" The president on the other end of the phone greeted him warmly.

After all, the sleeping famous detective is the "leader" in the industry and still has some face.

"..."

Uncle Maori quickly asked and hung up the phone.

"Things are a little strange."

"They also said that they hadn't heard from Kusukawa for several days. Hattori Kazuha went to the Haido Detective Agency around 10:30, got Kusukawa's address, and went there."

Uncle Maori said this and looked at Lin Feng.

Nothing will really happen, right?
……

"There's Jiuzhuang on the 4th chome of Beihu Town. That's it, right?"

Lin Feng drove and took Mao Li's family of three to find this old apartment.

"What the hell? In this kind of weather, we still have to go out and look for these two guests who should have come to us on their own." Uncle Maori ran to the eaves of the apartment in the rain and started to complain.

"What does it matter? We have nothing to do at home." Xiaolan said with a smile.

"..." Conan had a speechless expression on his face.

I really don't know what Hattori is doing.

"Room 202, Nanchuan."

Everyone walked up the stairs and arrived at the door of Room 202.

Unfortunately, there was a piece of paper on the door. "I should be back before noon. If you have any registered mail, please send it to the landlord."

Uncle Maori looked speechless.

It was already past noon. As expected, gamblers have no concept of time.

"It seems that Mr. Kusukawa has run into some trouble."

Lin Feng squatted down and looked at a small piece of tape with Conan.

"I know this. Put some tape on it as a mark so we can know if anyone has sneaked in." Xiaolan nodded as she looked at the tape on the crack of the door.

"And the mark on this hat, is it Hattori's?" Lin Feng asked as he stood up.

This door panel is not clean. Hattori's hat must have been caught in the rain, and there are obvious marks left when it leaned against the door.

Conan looked at the tape with a deep frown.

There is a lot of dust on it, and it is obvious that someone has been in there more than once.

"Ka~ka~"

The repairman walked up to the door and turned the door lock twice with force, but the door was not locked.

Conan moved faster than the person who opened the door. He took off his shoes and rushed in.

"The door lock had no signs of being pried open, and the house hadn't been searched. He might have won a big prize, so he ran out of the house in excitement and died happily. We haven't heard from him in the past few days."

Uncle Maori walked in, looked around, and expressed his own inference.

His inference is not completely unreasonable.

But if that's the case, where would Hattori go?
"There are pencil scratches here." Conan picked up the note paper on the table and compared it.

That’s right, this mark should be the result of someone rubbing a pencil against the paper in an attempt to get the content left on the previous note.

"It should be that kid in Osaka who did this." Uncle Mori thought it was Hattori who did it.

Conan has already started operating with a pencil.

This kind of sticky note paper is not too thick and can leave a mark even through two or three layers.

"Kenbashi-cho, Ito."

"What do you think? Should we call the police station to ask for Ito's address?" Conan asked, looking up.

"No, I have an easier way."

Lin Feng took out his phone and operated something with it.

It's already three o'clock, when can we have lunch???
Osaka Black Chicken, you're going to get beaten!

……

In a dark attic.

"Yes, is this the place, Heye?"

"Not there, Heiji, a little further to the left."

"Left? Is it here?"

"It hurts! Where exactly are you inserting it, Heiji? Didn't I say the left side?!"

After a series of terrible lines, Kazuha's voice suddenly increased, startling Hattori.

The situation of the two people seems to be worse than what was just said.

He sat on the ground with his hands behind his back, handcuffs tightly cuffed around his wrists.

What Hattori just did was just to poke the keyhole of the handcuffs with a pin, and it must have pierced Kazuha.

When He Ye shouted like that, the pin fell into the gap in the floor and could not be picked out.

"This is bad, He Ye, do you have anything else that can unlock the lock?" Hattori asked in a low voice.

The situation is really critical...
