Chapter 642: Person with Detective Abilities
As soon as Kogoro Mori walked in carrying large and small bags of vegetables and returned home, he was greeted by the gazes of high school students sitting in a row on the sofa in the office.
In an instant, Mouri Kogoro remembered what he had seen in the documentary. The parent birds worked hard to bring food back to the nest, and saw a row of chicks that didn't even have all their hair, and they were screaming. , looking like he was waiting for his meal with his mouth wide open.
An indescribable fatigue arose spontaneously, and Mouri Kogoro suddenly and briefly sympathized with the housewives who needed to take care of the family's food.
It’s really tiring to take care of these little guys who only eat but don’t work...
"Can't you find that boy Hattori?"
Soon, Mouri Kogoro heard the content of higher blood pressure.
"If it's just his cell phone that can't get through or contact, it may not be a big problem, but the same is true for Miss Toyama." Tangze nodded and described the problem, "It's possible that two people lost contact at the same time. Too young."
"They are people with a sense of time. They have already agreed to have dinner together when we come back from school." Mao Lilan also frowned tightly, "If there is any special situation, I will. I think they will notify us."
"Karasawa said, you know the person they are looking for today, so we came to ask you." Kudo Shinichi looked at Mouri Kogoro. That face that had been there for so many days, I felt emotional in my heart.
I have been a fake elementary school student for a long time, and now I can't speak carelessly. I am not used to using some honorifics.
"You really like to worry, what can happen if you visit a detective?" Mouri Kogoro muttered, but he still took out his mobile phone and looked through his address book, "Okay, then I'll make a call and ask. ”
Tokyo’s detective industry is developed, and there are naturally many big and strong detective agencies. This is why Toru Amuro used the reason to start a business to start a detective agency, and no one even thought it was strange. But the work Given its nature, further expansion of the industry is still limited.
After all, detectives are not lawyers. They don’t even have an entrance exam. What they pay attention to is personalized customization and one-to-one service. Most of them still work alone.
So, with a dozen people under its umbrella and the ability to rent office space, Aido Detective Agency is already a leader. Of course Mouri Kogoro has the contact information of their person in charge.
"Ah, it's Maori... Are you looking for Kusu Chuan?" A middle-aged male voice with a smile and a businesslike temperament came out through the external speaker, "What, mahjong is lacking partners again?" < br>
"No, no, I haven't had time to play with these things recently..." Facing his daughter's sharp gaze, Mouri Kogoro tensed up and waved his hands repeatedly, "I have something to do with him, business."
"What else can you do if you find him?" The other person seemed to understand Mouri Kogoro's style very well, and laughed twice, "But it's unlucky for you to come here. For the past two or three days, Kusukawa has not been able to contact him. "
"Have you been out of touch for two or three days?" Mouri Kogoro's expression became a little more serious. "Didn't you call the police?"
"As a detective, when something happened for two or three days, It's not surprising that he can't find anyone. He said that he has a big case and needs to be followed by one person. I think he found a fat sheep and wants to eat it alone. I don't know where he is hiding." The person on the other side of the phone obviously didn't take it seriously. His tone was very casual.
"Then is there anyone else who went to your place to look for Kusukawa today? They are probably around the age of high school students." Mouri Kogoro quickly asked.
"Yes, two people came here after ten o'clock in the morning. They are students from Osaka, one male and one female, right?" The person opposite gave a definite answer, "I told them that Kusukawa recently No, they asked Kusukawa's home address and left."
"Can you give me the address? Okay, there is Hatoso in Abeido Town 4th-chome..."
After recording the address. , Mouri Kogoro looked at the woven rain curtain outside the window and sighed deeply.
It’s raining so heavily. I only had to wait to greet the guests, but now I have to find where the guests are...
"Let's go find someone, Uncle Mouri." Before Kogoro Mouri could make a decision, Tangze stood up on his own initiative. "They all rushed to find someone. It's not polite to find someone who hasn't found their dinner yet."
"Eh? Is it just you and Conan?" When Mouri Kogoro was counting the heads, he subconsciously took along the child who had been extremely quiet in the past two days.
Conan, who had been sealed away by fire and cold, had been so silent for the past two days that he often couldn't remember that there was such a person. The kid who was so annoying in the past suddenly became sweet and cute without opening his mouth.
As expected, one of the biggest troubles for naughty children is the decibels of noise.
"No, Conan has a cold. If you go out on a rainy day and get wet, you will get a fever." Tangze shook his head and denied.
"Even if you don't agree, this brat..." Having already experienced Conan's style of stalking and squeezing into the murder scene, Mouri Kogoro complained habitually.
Whoever thought it was, Conan agreed immediately.
"Well, okay." Haibara Ai, who was wearing a mask, put her hands in her trouser pockets and tried hard to imitate Conan's usual style, but she could still feel the quietness.
Tangze nodded happily at his sensible sister.
Take the real Conan there, and it can be used as a fighting force when paired with football. Why bring Haibara Ai to join in the fun?
With Sister Akira's supervision, the child has indeed increased the frequency of morning exercises, and the improvement in physical fitness is visible to the naked eye, but in fighting situations, it will not help if the calf jumps faster.
Looking at Conan in shock for a moment, and then at Karasawa who was smiling and approving, Mouri Kogoro murmured in his heart.
Is Tang Ze’s words so effective for children? Have you never seen Conan so obedient before?
It seems that it is best to call Tang Ze for the next investigation. Even if it does not help the reasoning, as long as it can play the role of suppressing the naughty child, it is still a meritorious deed...
"You guys It would be inconvenient for a few high school students to go to Abeido Town, and they don't have a driver's license. Otherwise..." Mouri Kogoro, who was already worried, stared at the bag containing vegetables for a few seconds, and his mood fluctuated again.
It's hard to say which is more frightening, staying home to handle so much food, or running out to find missing high school students.
"I'll ask Mr. Amuro for help." Karasawa, who had prepared his escape route in advance, said, "Don't worry. Mr. Amuro has been driving for so many years, but he has zero violation records."
Because when he needs to violate the rules, either he doesn't drive his car at all, or the traffic police can't catch him at all.
Tang Ze added in his heart.
"That young man downstairs..." Remembering that as Goro Akechi's boss, Toru Amuro could more or less be regarded as a detective, Kogoro Mouri was slightly relieved, "Then hurry up and don't look for him. We stayed there for too long, and the food got cold. ”
"No problem, we'll take care of it!"
————
Not long after, Amuro Toru's Mazda parked downstairs at Yukiso in Abeido Town, and four people filed in. And out.
Then two of them, namely Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi, grabbed the handrail of the stairs outside the apartment and retched while pressing their chests.
"Is this why you asked us if we had eaten before getting in the car?" Mao Lilan calmed down for a while, then said feebly, "It wasn't like this last time I took Mr. Amuro's car..."
Last time, thanks to Tang Ze's magic stroke, they were escorted by several supermen and experienced a terrifying night when a snowstorm closed the mountain and they were forced to stay overnight.
At that time, Toru Amuro, who was responsible for identifying the direction in the vast white snow and leading the road out of the ruts, drove the car very steadily, which made Mao Lilan not understand the reason for Karasawa's question at all.
"That's because last time the situation was special. Mr. Amuro was responsible for being the head of the convoy in the snow environment, so he drove more restrained." Karasawa, who was used to it, stood firmly on his feet. On the ground, he looked sympathetically at the two high school students who had never seen the world.
How about it? Do you feel happy riding a Gundam?
"Karasawa..." After waiting for a long time, and finally overcoming the nausea caused by dizziness, Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth and raised his head, "You, you call this driving safely."
"On a rainy day when the ground is so slippery, Mr. Amuro can bypass the congested main road and drive here in twenty minutes. Is it really safe?" Karasawa, who pretended not to understand, said confidently, "The situation is urgent and we haven't found him yet. Hattori and the others, time is life.”
Although it is true that Toru Amuro drives like a Gundam, he knows how normal people drive, and he does not regard his driving skills as capable of filming thrilling police chases. Common skills.
Generally speaking, if there is no emergency, he drives really steadily, and rarely brakes or starts suddenly. He can drive F1, but he is indeed an experienced driver.
Who told Kudo Shinichi to say that they were going to find the missing Osaka high school student detective?
Tang Ze can only express that he is helpless, did you choose your idol?
"Room 202, not far from the stairs." Toru Amuro approached after parking the car, looked at the three high school students, and shook his head, "You two still need to practice."
A small kick Qiu, two high school students who had studied karate for many years and thought they had good physical strength were not convinced.
"There is no way to practice this. We are not going to choose pilots..." Kudo Shinko complained softly while holding his head.
Karazawa, who had listened to the detective's complaints, silently looked down at the exposed back of his head. It’s hard to say. You may not have a chance to fly a fighter jet, but you will have plenty of opportunities in your life to fly a commercial airliner.
Before the two dizzy high school students could recover, Toru Amuro glanced sideways at Karasawa and then at Kudou Shinichi. His eyes were filled with a sense of reckoning, "He's causing trouble again, right? Just wait for me." .
The non-existent Edogawa Conan is none other than the missing high school student detective Kudo Shinichi. Karasawa told him this personally.
And now, Kudo Shinichi himself, who should never appear in theory, not only returned safely, but also appeared at the same time as Edogawa Conan, saying that Karasawa had no knowledge, and anyone who knew the slightest bit about Karasawa's true nature , generally impossible to believe.
This means that had it not been for the unexpected situation of Hattori Heiji, Toru Amuro, who had no time to pay attention to Teidan recently, would have missed important information.
——To put it simply, there must be a close connection between Kudo Shinichi and the missing Shirley, and Karasawa knows this very well.
Raising his index finger and tapping Karasawa in the air, Toru Amuro temporarily suppressed his expression and returned his attention to the matter at hand: "This house is the house of Mr. Kusukawa they are looking for."
一When I walked to the door, I saw a clearly handwritten notice posted beside the door. The text on it clearly stated that the head of the household was not at home for the time being.
"'You will be back before noon. If you have express packages, please leave them at the landlord's office on the first floor.'" After reading the key information, Amuro Toru nodded, "That's what Mr. Kusukawa said. This is not forged." "
"Do you know Detective Kusukawa too?" Mao Lilan was surprised and finally understood the reason why Karasawa chose to call Toru Amuro to help.
It seems that even though Mr. Amuro, who works multiple jobs and works in a cafe all day long, seems not interested in the entrepreneurial part, he is actually doing pretty well in the industry.
"Of course, the Acupido Detective Agency is a relatively large one. There are always contacts between colleagues." His tone was relaxed, but Toru Amuro's eyes remained unlaxed, and he scanned all the locations at the door as quickly as possible. .
"This is the brand logo on Hattori's hat." Kudo Shinichi, who had just stood in front of the door and immediately got into the mood, accurately pointed out the faint marks on the door, "It seems that he and Miss Toyama did not bring any Umbrella, this is the water stain left by his hat."
"Well, normally he would go from Acupido Office to this apartment. Considering that he is unfamiliar with the route, he should arrive at the door around 11 o'clock. I saw the notice and mistakenly thought that Mr. Kusukawa would return at noon, so I waited for a while." Toru Amuro pointed to another mark that was less than waist high, "This may have been left by Hattori-san who was sitting on the door when he was tired of waiting. "
"Absolutely." Kudo Shinichi nodded in agreement, indicating his position.
“Misunderstood?” Mao Lilan’s reaction was not slow and he grasped the information in Amuro’s conversation. “Doesn’t this notice mean that he will go home in the afternoon?”
"I guess Mr. Kusukawa planned to return home soon, but something happened that prevented him from coming back." Toru Amuro pointed to the transparent tape on the door at his feet, "A simple detection device to make sure no one sneaks in. . ”
A very simple method, which is common sense for an undercover agent who needs to be careful every day, so he discovered it very quickly.
Toru Amuro knows a little bit about the missing Kusukawa.
Because he often participates in gambling, Nanchuan has almost no savings. With new income, he will soon put it into gambling.
Therefore, Nanchuan, who has a very high need for money, has always liked to take risks and pursue high returns amidst high risks, which is very consistent with his gambler's mentality.
How can you always walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? It's normal for him to be extremely cautious about personal safety.
"Yes, the tape is not only peeling off now, but also a lot of dust has stuck to the glue surface. It has been ineffective for a while." Kudo Shinichi bent down to observe this short piece of transparent tape and gave his own opinion judge.
He can find out that Hattori, who is not much weaker than him, can't find out after staying at the door for so long.
Kudo Shinichi, who was finally convinced that Hattori Heiji had an accident, frowned.
Regardless of whether the actual effect was as expected, Hattori came all the way from Osaka to help him.
If the other party is in danger in Tokyo during this period...
"Hattori will not leave the door for no reason, he must have discovered something." Karasawa, standing behind them, said, "Suppose he is tired of waiting. , Sitting in this position, he saw the tape at his hand. Then he will definitely..."
Tang Ze reached out his hand, grabbed the apartment door handle, and turned it hard.
The apartment door opened in response.
"At all, isn't it locked? Someone has broken in!" Mao Lilan covered her mouth in surprise, looked at the empty apartment entrance, and then looked left and right at the three people around her, "This is Detective? That’s awesome.”
The three people who actually had the rank of detective smiled at her.
"Hattori is also a powerful detective." Looking at this small pigeon cage, Karasawa reminded.
"Yes, he will definitely not miss this information. Go in and take a look." Kudo Shinichi was very sure.
Having been able to rummage unscrupulously at murder scenes, he had no psychological pressure on breaking in and found the door to the only bedroom in the small apartment with ease.
“Creased paper.”
"Well, look at this indentation. It is naturally bent because the plug was placed on a right-angled edge."
"The intruder did not notice this, and the position was naturally dropped. Drawer, or cabinet door... ...I guess it’s the drawer.”
“I can’t see what was taken.”
“There is pencil powder here on the table. It’s very new and there’s a little smell.”
"It should have been done by Hattori after he entered the house. Let me take a look at the size of the marks. Well, about 10 centimeters square..."
"Yes, the pad."
"Well, Hattori probably used a pencil to smear on the first page to confirm the content of the torn page. There are still a few pen marks, so this page is enough. "
"Kenbashi Town, Ito...?"
"There is also a phone number, but the numbers are written lightly and can't be seen clearly across the page."
“It’s good to have a direction.”
"You're right."
Tang Ze, who had no intention of walking into the sliding door, strolled to the door of the living room and raised his eyebrows at Mao Lilan, who didn't react.
What was he talking about before? You can't think of detective as a normal profession, right?
The detective in this world is more like a job than a profession, and most Muggles cannot do it.
"...Hey." Seeing the two men walking around the room lightly for a few minutes and already completing the investigation, Mao Lilan was silent for a moment and suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong? You and Kudo grew up, haven't you gotten used to this kind of scene yet?" Tangze looked at her strangely.
"No, I just think that if this is the normal state of detectives, no wonder the police rely on detectives so much. So it is not surprising that my father has been a detective for so long and only accidentally became famous at this age. When Mao Lilan said this, there was even a bit of sadness on his face, "He used to be a policeman, maybe he is not suitable for this profession."
If Shinichi, Hattori, and even Akechi-kun were in the detective profession. The talent shown in the film can be summed up as a genius boy. Even Mr. Amuro, who worked as a waiter and became a monk halfway, is a detective with first-rate observation and excellent reasoning ability. This one is a bit...
"It seems that Kusukawa The gentleman is really missing." Speaking of this, she couldn't help but murmur, "He was also a policeman before, and his professional abilities should be average."
He is still a policeman now, and it feels like he has been shot in the back. Toru Amuro: "..."
Kudo Shinichi, who was the real mastermind behind Mouri Kogoro's debut, was unable to refute for a moment: "..."
"Pfft-cough cough cough..." This is a complete understanding of the whole point of the joke, hold it back Tang Ze was holding back his laughter quite painfully.
