Famous Detective Conan: Eating and Waiting To Die - Chapter 178

“I remember that at about twelve o’clock that night, after taking a shower, I was reading a book in bed, and I was ready to rest for a while. At this time, there was a phone call from the next door, so I opened the balcony window and looked out. I took a look, and it turned out that the next door was still dark, but at that time I heard a burst of hurried footsteps, so I hurried to the front door, and secretly opened a crack to look out, and I saw a dark shadow. I ran downstairs down the stairs, and then I gave the property company

When I called to ask about this, they insisted that I was blinded. . “

“Well~ If you say that, that man should be the malicious harasser! He should have used some method to get the key to the room next to him. I guess not only the day before yesterday, but most of the Friday nights. They should all live next door.”

“It’s unlikely, uncle!”

“Why? Xiaotong?” Saying that, Xiaolan hugged Maolitong in her arms, “If it’s next door, you can hide immediately after ringing the doorbell!”

“But, have you forgotten? Aunt Mizuno,”

“Bang!” Xiaolan narrowed her eyes, “Don’t be so rude! I have to call you sister!”

“Hey!” Hitomi Mao rubbed her head, “Damn female tyrannosaurus~~”

“Haha,” Shui Wu Liannai covered her mouth and laughed twice, “It’s okay to pull, it’s okay for Xiaotong to call me auntie, hey~~ I’ll be thirty years old in a blink of an eye!”

“Mmmm, time makes people grow old…”

“Huh? Time makes people grow old? This sentence is very philosophical~~”

“Little Hitomi~~”

“Hey~~” Xiaolan squeezed Mao Litong’s face with a smile, “Do you remember what I told you before, sister?”

“Hi~~~”

“Tonight’s TV show…”

“No problem, I will definitely accompany Sister Xiaolan to watch it! Mmmm, that’s good.”

“Uh~~” Conan, who shook his head, asked again, “Sister Mizuno, how long has that house been vacant?”

“It’s estimated to be about half a year!”

“That’s it,” Conan clapped his hands, “We just need to check it out, and then we’ll know. A house that hasn’t been lived in for half a year must be full of dust and no traces of people! However, if traces of people are found. if..”

“Then, our previous reasoning is established, although there is no way to know how he rang the doorbell for the time being! Very good!” Mouri Kogoro stood up, “Let’s go check that house now!”

“Damn it,” pushing the door hard, Kogoro Mouri spit angrily, “It’s locked! I thought that guy would not lock the door to make it easier to get in and out!”

“Dad, then let’s call…”

“Really careful!” But Conan pinched his chin and thought, “Looking at the attitude of the property owner that day, he probably wouldn’t give the key to a private detective like uncle! Then…”

“Let’s go, Hitomi,” Thinking of this, Conan pulled Hitomi Maori who was wandering on the railing.

“Hey~~” Hitomi Mouri, who was dragged by Conan, walked over, “Where are we going?”

“Balcony! Jump over here, the window on the opposite balcony may not be locked…”

“Damn it!” After jumping over the railing, Conan pushed the glass door of the balcony forcefully, “It’s locked here too! Huh? What is that?” With the traces of Jojo, Conan leaned down, “Wood…beautiful…and? What does this mean?”

“Bang!” Just as Conan was thinking, he heard a crisp sound of glass breaking. Hitomi Mouri, who clapped his hands, reached out from the broken place and opened the lock inside the window!

“Hey, you guy…”

“Squeak~~” After opening the door, Mao Litong stepped on the broken glass and walked in, “Idiot, what kind of rules does he care when his life is at stake!”

“Life is at stake?” Conan was confused. “Does this guy even say that life is at stake? Obviously unhappy that guy locked the door…”

“Little Tong, there are some traces here, just a few words!”

“A few words? It’s not the prisoner who was bored and wrote and played by himself!” Hitomi Maori leaned down and sighed at the place where Conan was pointing. In addition to the clarity, two more words appeared, with a height above and a zi below. “Takagi.. Mei.. and.. Son? These words are so familiar.. Huh? Isn’t that the name of Takagi and Aunt? Why are they here?”

“Haha,” Conan’s mouth began to twitch irregularly again, “I guess we all thought wrong! If I guessed correctly, I already know who wrote these words, and that

Who is the shadow. . . “

“Creak~” Mouri Kogoro and the others who were standing outside the door were about to go back when they saw that the door was opened! “Someone? Xiao. Xiaotong? Why are you in there?”

“! Uncle, we turned over from the balcony, opened the window, and got in!”

“Haha, Hitomi, you are really good… ah!” Mouri Kogoro, who walked into the room, was halfway through his compliments when he saw the glass door of the balcony with a hole in it! “Little Tong! You bastard! What’s going on?”

Hitomi Maori, who was mentioned by Kogoro Mouri in the air, shrugged, “Uncle, you have to believe me!”

“Well, uncle, I believe in you, go ahead!”

“I broke this glass window!”

“Pfft!” Mouri Kogoro felt an inexplicable slip under his feet and fell to the ground. .

“Haha!” Shui Wu Lianna covered her stomach and laughed, “This little guy is really interesting!”

“Xiao Tong!” Xiao Lan also looked helpless, “You can’t do this in the future, do you hear me?”

“Hey, I know La, Sister Xiaolan!”

“Papa~” He got up and patted the dust on his body, Mouri Kogoro sighed helplessly, “This nephew.. It’s really a headache.”

“There is a lot of dust in the room!” Kogoro Mori walked around and returned to the room where the hole was broken. “There is no trace of people living there often. It seems that our reasoning was wrong!”

“Uncle,” Conan squatted in front of the glass door, “Look, there are a few words here!”

“Huh?” After hearing Conan’s words, everyone walked over, “Mikako Takagi? What do you mean?”

“What? You said that person was Officer Takagi?”

“That’s right, uncle, Miwako is Officer Sato’s name, so I think it must be Officer Takagi who was bored and scribbled on the glass when he came here to perform some mission! We just need to call Officer Takagi. It should be possible to know whether our speculation is correct!”

“Hey, this is a search class, I’m Megumi! Conan! Haha, what’s the matter?” Said Mumu with a suspicious look on his face, “Could it be that something happened again! Oh, look for Takagi Ah, let me see, he’s here, hold on, switch inside… switch inside…”

“Crack!” Megumi patted his forehead, “I just don’t understand this kind of thing! Forget it, Takagi!”

“Hi! Police Department, what’s the matter?”

Mu Mu shook the phone in his hand, “Nan called you! Officer Mu Mu, didn’t I teach you how to switch between internal lines? I won’t forget it again!”

“Haha, this kind of thing is so troublesome, how could I remember it.”

“Hey~” Takagi sighed, picked up the phone and connected it by himself. . “I’m Takagi, do you have anything to do with me? The night before yesterday, yes, how did you know I’ve been to that apartment?

Reason? Ordered to spy on the fiancée of a suspect in a case in the apartment opposite! “

“Then, why did you leave later?”

“Oh, I remember that it was about twelve o’clock in the night, the prisoner was caught, so when I received the order, I withdrew. Yes, of course I told the property, this matter must be highly confidential! But , Conan, how did you know? What? Ah!” Takagi screamed!

“What’s wrong with Takagi?” Seeing that everyone’s eyes were on him, Takagi laughed a few times, “No. It’s okay, I bit my tongue…”

“Oops, I forgot to erase those words!”

“That…” Takagi looked left and right and saw that Sato was talking to Yumiko, so he crouched under the table, “Hey, Conan, look, a ticket to Dorobigaro amusement park, this is How about keeping this matter a secret for me? By the way, help me erase those words! What?”

“Bang!” A little excited Takagi forgot that he was squatting under the table, and when he stood up in a hurry, his head hit the table, and then he fell to the ground with eyes full of gold stars. . “Damn… Damn… Actually. So many people… all. They all saw it…” The dizzy Takagi muttered. .

“Hello, Takagi? Takagi?” Sato hurried over, “Are you all right…”

“I… hehe…”

“Who knows it’s not good, there is still that nasty little devil… 100 copies of Haagen-Dazs…”

“Hey!” After hanging up the phone, Conan sighed, “As expected, but our previous inferences are completely useless, and things have returned to the original point.”

“That’s right, and Mizuna Rina looked at the calendar on the wall, tomorrow will be another problematic Saturday!”

“Looks like this is the only way to go!” Kogoro Mouri stood up, “Let’s live here today! When that guy arrives tomorrow morning, he will be caught on the spot!”

“Hi! That’s really bothering Mr. Mori…”

“Hu~~” Sitting on the railing of the stairs, Hitomi Mouri stared blankly at the sky. . .

“Xiaotong! Xiaotong?” Hearing Xiaolan’s call, Sui Wu Liannai, who was at the entrance to the newspapers and magazines discarded by the organizer, raised her head, “That little guy is outside, he said he was looking at the stars~~”

“Ah~~ this little bastard, you know how to run around and pack up?” Xiao Lan walked over, “Let me help too!”

“Hey! No, it’s already sorted! Tomorrow is the collection day of recyclables. Usually, I will put the old magazines and newspapers that I don’t need in advance and put them at the door. Because of work, I need to read newspapers and magazines. It’s just too much!”

Hearing Xiaolan and Mizuna Rina talking at the entrance, Mouri Kogoro and Conan also followed, “Isn’t this “Dr. Jagiell and Mr. Hyde”?” Mouri Kogoro picked up the book on the ground. Book, “I miss it so much…”

“Yeah, Dad, I still remember when I secretly read your book in class at that time, and I was scared to death, Conan, have you read it too!”

“Well, the gentle Dr. Henry turns into the evil Edward Hyde once he drinks that potion!”

“Huh~” Mizuna Rianna carried the thick stack of newspapers, and then opened the door, “Also… it’s really heavy!”

“Hey, let’s help too!” After that, Kogoro Mouri and Conan walked out with the remaining two dozen magazines!

“Hey! Hitomi, come down quickly.” After opening the door, Mizuna Rina saw Hitomi Maori, who was swaying on the railing! So he hurriedly threw away the newspaper in his hand, and walked behind Mao Litong and was about to take him down!

“Hey, don’t make such a fuss, okay? It’s only the second floor, and it won’t hurt if you fall.

dead person’s! “

“You hateful little brat,” Kogoro Mori mentioned Hitomi Mori and threw him back into the house, “Be honest with me!”

“Hey! Aunt Mizuno, the toilet is here.” Hu ~ Hitomi Maori took a deep breath and suppressed her itchy throat, “Where is the toilet?”

“Oh~ just turn left at the end of the corridor! Really, you worry-free kid!”

Mizuna Rianna put the newspaper at the door, turned her head to take the magazine from Conan’s hand, and landed there together, “Mr. Lee, you care about this nephew!”

“Humph! What do you care, this bastard, I’m very satisfied that it can save my mind!”

“What? Mr. Maury, has this little guy lived in your house all the time?”

“Ah~~hmm” Mouri Kogoro’s face suddenly darkened. . . .

No way, after returning to the living room, Shui Wulianai looked in disbelief, “It turned out to be like this! I’m really sorry for mentioning these unhappy things!”

“It’s alright, alright!” Kogoro Mouri swayed his raised leg, “This little brat, I don’t know how happy he is to live every day! What a pity! Besides, even if he wants to be sad, I’m afraid he can’t do anything.”

After flushing the toilet, Mauri Hitomi sucked in her face, “Damn it, I really don’t know how long this body can last like this…”

“Okay!” Mauri Kogoro took a stall and spread it to the entrance, “I’ll sleep here tonight! As long as that person rings the doorbell, I’ll catch him! Of course, don’t lock the door. Now! Otherwise, the time to open and lock the door in the morning might make him run away!”

“Hi! Then I want to work hard for Mr. Maori!”

Sunny mornings don’t exist, and the weather is a bit cloudy. “Hoo~” Conan, who sat up in a daze, looked at his watch, “At 5:30, I’m going to wake up my uncle, eh?” Eyes looked at Mao Litong on the ceiling, “I said Xiaotong, are you alright, why did you wake up so early!”

“Please,” Hitomi Mori squinted, “didn’t you hear that uncle’s snoring sound like thunder? Why did you tell me to sleep!”

“Uh~~ hehe, I don’t have as sensitive ears as you. Let’s go, let’s go and call

Uncle, that guy is coming soon! “

“Uncle, uncle, wake up!” Conan pushed Mouri Kogoro, who was sleeping with a mop against the wall in the dark, “The time is almost up! Mmmm,” Mouri Kogoro rubbed his eyes, “So Is it almost morning?”

“Thirty seconds left,” Kogoro Mouri secretly pressed his body to the door and held his breath. . .

“Boom! Aha! Crack!” He turned the door bolt instantly, “I will never let you go! Crack!” Kogoro Mouri, who pushed open the door, roared loudly! “Ah? No one?”

“No,” Xiao Lan also walked to the door, “How could it be? It’s unbelievable, Dad, you opened the door in an instant!”

“Bang~bang~bang~” Hearing a chaotic heartbeat, Mao Litong leaning against the door frame slightly raised the corner of his mouth, “It turned out to be hiding there, that’s all, hurry up to end this farce, and go back and get two This guy’s recording~” Thinking of this, Mao Litong walked out, “It’s really strange, it disappeared so quickly,” Mao Litong casually leaned on the railing and looked down, “There is no one below.. “

“Ah! There’s a child here!” Saying that, Mao Litong jumped back a few steps in surprise, and pointed at the back of the pile of garbage, “Uncle, there’s a child here!”

“Little kid?” Kogoro Mori walked over and mentioned the fearful little guy! “Say, why do you do such a prank! And you even put sleeping pills!”

“Mr. Mori,” Mizuna Rina walked up to the little guy, “put him down, I think there must be some reason for him! Then, little brother, can you tell me why I did this?

? “

“Hey~” The little guy sniffled, and then wiped away the tears from fear, “Because, because you look like my mother!”

“Mom?” Kogoro Mori bent down, “BOY, even if you say that, it’s not right to harass this big sister!”

“No, I didn’t want to harass him!” the little boy argued, “I just…I just…I couldn’t see the big sister on the show in the morning, I thought she overslept, so I thought Remind her! Where’s that bottle of sleeping pills? And where did you kid get those sleeping pills?”

“Uncle,” Conan came over, “I think he thought that Sister Mizuno couldn’t sleep well every night, so he put some sleeping pills in hopes that she would sleep better, right!”

“Well,” the little boy nodded, “I found the sleeping pills from the leftover pills from my mother. She has been sleeping badly before!”

“Brother, what about your mother?” Shui Wulian rubbed the little guy’s head, “It’s wrong to secretly take things from my mother to my sister!”

“Mom,” the little boy lowered his head, “the tears that I always wanted to control just flowed down like that. Last year, my mother died in a car accident…”

“Pa~” Shui Wulian patted the little boy on the shoulder, “Little brother, I know you feel very lonely because your mother is gone, but if you always hold on to the memory of the past, you will only be able to Let the mother in heaven worry even more, so be like a man, don’t come here again in the future, and don’t let the mother in heaven worry!”

“Well, the little boy from UU reading www.uukanshu.com nodded in understanding, but looking at the lack of hesitation before, it is clear that Shui Wulianai’s words played a certain role. In the end, the little boy wiped it. Wipe away tears and run away..

Seeing Shui Wulianai with faint tears in the corners of her eyes, Mao Litong slumped on the railing, “Does every person in the dark actually have a heart that wants to chase the sun?”

“Hi! Mr. Maury, I’m really bothering you!”

“You’re welcome, then, Miss Mizuno, we’ll go back first!”

“Uncle, Xiaotong and I are going to the doctor’s house, so I won’t go back with you!”

“Come on, you know you’re a kid! But forget it, since it’s summer vacation, you can come back whenever you want!”

“Just know that uncle is the best!”

“Damn kid, how dare you rub my nose on my clothes…”

“Haha~” Mizuno Rina couldn’t help laughing again. .

“Miss Mizuno, do you like children very much?”

“Hi!” Hearing Xiao Lan’s question, Shui Wu Rina nodded, “I used to have a younger brother.” Hearing this, Xiao Lan did not ask any further questions. .

“Then, we also say goodbye!”

“Hey~~” Judy, who was upstairs opposite, was relieved after seeing Kogoro Mouri and the others, “because if they find out anything about this woman’s identity, they may be killed and not necessarily silenced, but It seems that nothing has been found! Moreover, for this host, the FBI is only focusing on suspicion, and there is no solid evidence to prove that she is a member of the organization!” Thinking of this, Judy once again hid her figure in the in the shadows. .
