"Ah! It's already ten o'clock! Miss Yami was so happy that she forgot about having an appointment with us today after reuniting with her father?"

Sitting on his office chair and turning the chair boredly, Kogoro Mori looked up and looked at the alarm clock again, and complained to Xiaolan, who was doing housework, a little anxiously.

"Dad! How can you say that Miss Yami? I don't think she is that kind of person. Maybe she's just a temporary thing and is tripped?"

"Is that right? But some things cannot be delayed anymore! The more you delay, the more serious the problem will be! Damn it! Forget it, don't wait! Let's call directly! If no one answers the phone, then we will go to her father's place to find her!"

"beep--"

"beep--"

"beep--"

I am really afraid of anything and what I come, just like Kogoro Mouri was worried. No one answered the phone number left by Hirota Masami.

Kogoro Mori, who was afraid of something wrong with her, decided to go to Renma District and Kenzo Hirota to see what was going on.

"Dad! I'm going too! It's about Miss Yami!"

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was going to act alone, Koran put down the rag in his hand and issued a team request. However, Kogoro Mouri, who was usually indifferent, couldn't help but hesitate when he thought of the gin in the prophecy.

"Xiaolan, this time the matter is a bit special, so don't follow me. Believe me, I will definitely solve the commission this time perfectly!"

When Koran heard what Kogoro Maori said, he immediately hesitated. However, Conan, who was already preparing to wait for Kogoro Maori to leave, secretly investigated Conan couldn't help but look at Kogoro Maori in shock.

"Why did Uncle Maori say that the incident is special and he didn't let Sister Xiaolan go? Did he actually find out yesterday? He was just dealing with me?"

Thinking of Dr. Agasa who made him always wary of himself that he is no longer a high school detective Shinichi Kudo, but a first-grade elementary school student named Conan Edogawa. Duoduo used his detective identity as Uncle Maori to cover up his advice. Conan felt that he might be able to cooperate this time.

So he pressed the gourd and floated up. After comforting Kora Kogoro, who had been Korara, went out a few steps and found Conan who was secretly following him.

The atmosphere was awkward in an instant. After looking at each other silently for a few seconds, Kogoro Mouri turned around and went to take a taxi.

"Let's go! Why are you doing in the same place? Didn't you chase it out just for this case?"

After the car arrived, I saw Conan standing in place a little embarrassedly. I don’t know how to get through with Kogoro Mori’s sad figure in this operation without Kogoro Kogoro being a shield. Kogoro Mori, who was sitting in the car, still spoke up and gave Conan a step.

"Detective Conan? Since you are the protagonist of this world, let me see your strength! Just like the Mask Superman who saved the world in the Mask Superman world?"

"Hi!"

Seeing Kogoro Mori took him away abnormally, although he was a little shocked, he was summoned by the case and did not care about a lot of things. Conan still followed his physical instinct and stepped into the car.

So when Xiaolan discovered that Conan, who was sitting on the sofa and watching TV well, disappeared inexplicably, the detective duo who tried to form a group, had already arrived at Kenzo Hirota's residence again with the skillful driving skills of the taxi driver.

"Mr. Detective! You are finally here!"

"What's wrong? Landlord's eldest sister?"

Just as Kogoro Mouri and Conan were about to go upstairs to see the situation, the old landlord who lived on the first floor was already waving at him with anxiety on his face and letting him pass by.

"What happened! The Kenzo Hirota you asked about yesterday was dead! Everyone from the Police Department came in the morning!"

"Dead?"

When Kogoro Mori heard this news, he was stunned. Compared to the old landlord's gossip and guess, he certainly understood the reason why Kenzo Hirota would die. But it was only one night. Bastard! Are those guys so fast? I finally didn't change the future and let Miss Masami be killed? Damn! Gin isn't it? Very good, you kid aroused my fighting spirit, I hope you don't let me meet.

Just when Kogoro Mouri began to remain silent after he was a little guilty, Conan, who had already entered the detective mode, didn't know that he was addicted to the point of not paying attention to it again, or he still felt that Kogoro Mouri had discovered his specialness and was about to give up.

"So! Grandma! Did you come to find his daughter yesterday? Was she also killed?"

"Daughter? Oh! This! No! There is only Mr. Kenzo Hirota who was killed in the family, and he did not see the second victim."

"Is it only Mr. Kenzo Hirota?"

"right!"

"That means that Miss Masami may have gone out to hide, or the murderer did not want to kill her for the time being, kidnapped her, or locked her up somewhere?"

"That's right! Conan, you said so well! That's it. I have a chance to make it happen! Let's go to the police department of Meguru to find out the specific situation. Miss Masami, I must rescue her, otherwise I will never let myself go in my life!"

When Kogoro Mori heard Conan's analysis, he immediately walked out of his own blame. After thanking the landlord, he quickly took a taxi to the police station. For Masami Hirota, who had unknown life and death, every minute and every second were crucial. He would never allow himself to make mistakes again, in this matter!

Police Department—

"Hmm? Brother Maori? Takagi said you are looking for me? What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Mu Police Department! I'm looking for you to inquire about the case of the deceased Kenzo Hirota!"

"Well? Kenzo Hirota who was found dead at home this morning? Do you know him?"

"Yes! I accepted a commission before. His daughter who was far away in Yamagata, entrusted me to help her find her father who had suddenly disappeared for a month. I also asked you to help check the information. Do you still remember?"

"Oh! I remembered it! So this Hirota Kenzo is that Hirota Kenzo?"

"That's right! I found him at the Tokyo Racecourse yesterday. This guy loves watching horse racing. After finding him, I immediately contacted his daughter Masami Hirota. Unexpectedly, Miss Masami, who made an appointment with me today, didn't come for a whole morning, and no one answered the phone. I was afraid that something would happen, so I hurried to Kenzo Hirota's residence. But as soon as I got there, the landlord's wife told me that Kenzo Hirota was dead!"

"That's right! The murderer should have strangled Kenzo Hirota to death last night, and hung it on the ceiling with a rope, disguised as suicide. On the rope, we found strange fingerprints. Based on these clues, we speculated that the murderer should be a tall man."

"Tall man? Is there any news about my client, Miss Yami?"

"This...sorry! Brother Maori! No, by the way, we found this at the scene. At first I didn't understand why there were such glasses in Kenzo Hirota's room that he couldn't wear! I got a little bit of it after you said this!"

"Damn it! It's Miss Masami's glasses! Meguro Police Department, we must save her! Maybe she is still in the hands of the bad guys."

"But, Brother Maori! All the valuable things on the scene were taken away by the murderer, and he also strangled Kenzo Hirota to death. According to his extremely vicious behavior, I think Miss Masami may have already..."

"But there is no body of her now, right? And most importantly, Meguro Police Department, you can't treat this case as an ordinary robbery! What the murderer took was not a little money, it was a billion yen!"

"What? Billion yen? Could it be?"

"That's right! I suspect that Mr. Hirota is one of the three people in the gang of 1 billion yen theft case reported before. I originally wanted to talk to Miss Masami today and ask her to persuade her father to surrender and explain the other two people! Unexpectedly, he was killed today. If the murderer yesterday could be caught, the Meguro Police Department, you can crack the 1 billion yen theft case!"

"Ha? Takagi! Retrieve all the people who have investigated the 1 billion yen theft case! It's been a few days, and there's no information at all! Now I'm trying my best to find the tall man who killed Kenzo Hirota! Look at the surveillance around Kenzo Hirota's residence or ask neighbors, etc.! You must find the tall murderer, do you understand?"

"yes!"

Seeing that Kogoro Mori, who was fully fired from the Meguro Police Department, did not stay here to wait for the news. After agreeing with the Meguro Police Department to notify each other of the news, he took Conan away from the Police Department with annoyed expression.

"Damn it! It's almost there! If I had been a little more cruel at that time, Miss Yami would not have encountered such danger! Damn it! It's all my fault!"

"uncle!"

Seeing Conan like Kogoro Maori, he also understood. Kogoro Maori might have guessed Kenzo Hirota's identity yesterday, but for Miss Masami Hirota, he chose to pretend not to know. Unfortunately, who would have thought that before Kogoro Maori started his second step, the murderer had already cut off the road ahead of time.

Conan, who didn't know how to comfort Kogoro Mouri, could only follow Kogoro Mouri silently, and then he found a sneaky figure following them.

"Hey! The person behind you, come out!"

Conan, who no longer wanted to pretend to be tender in front of Kogoro Mouri, pointed out the follower behind him, and then the other party turned around in panic and wanted to escape.

However, when he heard someone stalking him, how could he allow him to leave? He thought that it was possible that this was the winery staff, so he immediately followed him in three steps and two steps to avoid the danger.

"Kabuda fell over the shoulder!!!"
