Pretend To Be a Good Person In the World of Conan - Chapter 349
Hyuga Kokatsu looked at the evidence, she actually hadn’t figured out what to do in the future, but she didn’t plan to stay at Nagato’s house, she wanted to leave here first and calm down for a while.
Seeing that the task had been completed, Shiraishi took advantage of Hyuga fortunately, left the room, and released the mask state.
The moment it was lifted, he suddenly heard a faint commotion from the other side of the corridor, and there seemed to be the voices of Hattori Heiji and Conan.
Shiraishi opened his eyes in the hall and saw only Maorilan beside him.
Hattori Heiji and Conan Bacheng are causing trouble again.
Sure enough, after a while, the two were brought back by the security guard and the housekeeper.
– They were very concerned about whether there were any drugs in the puppet, and they wanted to go to the room to search, but they bumped into Hideomi Nagato, who was covering his face and wearing a knitted hat, thinking about his life.
Nagato Hideomi looked up and saw a strange man with a child rushing towards him. While panicking, he pressed the button to call the guard.
Fortunately, Hattori Heiji’s father also had some friendship with Chairman Nagato, and it was Hattori Heizang’s face that was lost, not Shiraishi’s business.
It was confirmed that Nagato Hideomi was not Akai Shinji, and the two returned without success.
“Let’s go.” Shiraishi stood up, feeling that if they didn’t leave, the two of them might have something to do.
Although Conan and Hattori Heiji are very unwilling, but now they are only suspicious, and there is no evidence that others are taking drugs. And this is not a murder case after all, it is not within their professional scope.
The two eventually left with Shiraishi.
Because they had been thinking about this, until Shiraishi drove a long way, they suddenly came back to their senses and regretted that they forgot to ask Chairman Nagato to borrow a driver.
Only Mao Lilan whispered a word just now.
But Shiraishi said that he drove very steadily, and it was inconvenient to trouble others. Mao Lilan was embarrassed to directly refute.
In short, after realizing this fact, Hattori Heiji and Conan immediately forgot about the Nagato family and began to focus on Shiraishi driving.
The way back was relatively calm, so calm that Shiraishi was very uncomfortable—two high school detectives were sitting in the car, and they were walking through the woods in the suburbs where they were most likely to encounter something. There were no tires along the way…
“drop-“
Just thinking of this, an indicator light on the dashboard lights up.
Shiraishi looked down and sighed.
Hattori Heiji was drowsy in the co-pilot when he suddenly heard movement beside him.
He sat up abruptly, and before he was fully awake, he mechanically stretched out his hand, trying to follow the rehearsal in his head, pull the sleeping driver aside, and then step on the brakes.
Mao Lilan was startled and pressed him back to his seat: “Brother Baishi is still awake!”
“…Huh? Oh, sorry.” Hattori Heiji rubbed his eyes and regained his senses after a few beats.
Last night he and Conan hadn’t slept almost all night in order to investigate the cause of Takeda Shin’s death. This morning, I have been staring at Shiraishi driving with all my attention. In the end, Shiraishi didn’t fall asleep, but he fell asleep first.
Hattori Heiji was very shameless.
He cleared his throat and sat up straight, pretending nothing happened: “What’s wrong?”
“Forgot to refuel.” Shiraishi always felt that he had checked the condition of the fuel tank, and there was still a lot of fuel at that time. But thinking about it now… It seems that Amuro Toru’s car had a lot of gasoline last night, and I really forgot to look at the rented car.
…Is this also the guideline for the mission?
Shiraishi got out of the car, looked around, and quickly stopped somewhere.
Behind the cascading trees, stands an ancient castle, with its spire standing in the air, which is very conspicuous.
… Sure enough, any time you drive through the woods, you’re bound to have a flat tire or get stuck in a quagmire or something.
Compared to the speed at which Dr. Akasa and Kogoro Mouri used the car, Shiraishi suddenly realized that it was completely acceptable to have no fuel.
When Shiraishi saw the castle, the mission jumped out very quickly.
Baishi didn’t say a word, and the other three started to discuss how to solve it on their own. In the end, they all looked at the old castle and came to the conclusion: “It’s better to go to that family to buy some.”
Many people will store some gasoline in their homes, especially those residents who are built in the wilderness.
Shiraishi drove the car to the side of the road with the little bit of oil left to prevent it from occupying the road, and then got out of the car and walked towards the castle with a few others.
Before getting out of the car, he sneaked a folding stick into his bag.
After approaching, without the shelter of the trees, the whole picture of the ancient castle appeared in front of several people, which was even more imposing than when it was seen from a distance.
“This kind of exterior wall and pattern seems to be a long time ago.” Hattori Heiji built a pergola and looked into the yard through the iron gate. “Some local tyrant should have bought it from abroad and rebuilt it here.”
There is no one in the yard.
Hattori Heiji rang the doorbell for a long time, and a gardener came out.
The gardener looked very unfriendly. He might have been annoyed by passing tourists or reporters. Before they could speak, he said, “Go back! Outsiders are not welcome here!”
While Detective Toolman continued to negotiate with the gardener, Shiraishi looked at the scene in the yard and noticed several large chess statues on the grass.
Looking at the high spire of the castle and the traces of fire on the other side, Shiraishi immediately identified a certain one among a large number of suburban events, and decided that if the gardener is determined not to let people go~www.mtlnovel.com~ Later I fell asleep in the car, and then slipped in with a mask to solve it.
As for gasoline…you can wait for the police to come, rub their car back, and drag the car along by the way.
However, these plans do not seem to work.
— Behind the gardener, a square-faced middle-aged man came over.
He stared at Hattori Heiji and Shiraishi for a while—especially Hattori Heiji, and then suddenly asked, “Are you detectives?”
Hattori Heiji nodded. He did go to newspapers often. Although for some reason, his photos in black and white newspapers were difficult to identify, but there were always a few with good eyes that could be seen.
Shiraishi nodded. He’s not really a detective, but because he has contacted several clients such as star novelists, he also rubbed a little corner on the newspaper.
Seeing the two of them nodding, Mamiya Man twitched the mustache on his lips, feeling wonderful.
– He is the son-in-law who came in. Before the death of the rich father-in-law, he left a mystery in the castle and said that “the highest treasure is to be given to the person who solves the mystery”.
This description made a group of people think about it, and Mamiya was of course very moved. But unfortunately, he is not the material to solve the puzzle. After so many years, he still has not found anything.
Recently, information has become more developed, and famous detectives from all over the world have become more famous.
After reading several related reports, Mamiya Man suddenly felt that he could use the power of a detective.
—Anyway, detectives take money to do things, as long as they are regarded as tools for solving puzzles, the “person who solves the mystery” is still himself, and it is not a violation of his father-in-law’s entrustment.
So Mamiya Mitsuru collected a lot of detective-related newspaper clippings.
Originally, he was still struggling with which one to choose, but he didn’t expect that someone would actually deliver it to his door today.
