Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 123 Things Take a Subtle Deviation
Mori Kogoro lowered his head in surprise to study Conan's phone screen carefully, compared it with the photos in his hand repeatedly, and said in amazement: "It seems that he is really a person, and you found it just like this. It's pretty lucky, kid head."

"Ahahaha, that is, um, I went out to play football with my children yesterday, and I saw a very familiar uncle, so I took a picture of him. Is he what Ms. Masami Hirota is looking for?" Conan's face was full of innocence. with an awkward smile.

"You ran so far away to play football..." Mori Kogoro muttered something strangely, habitually ignoring the details, and looking at the photos carefully, he excitedly called Hirota Masami, "Hey, Miss Yami, good news!"

Quietly heaving a sigh of relief, he secretly said hello for Uncle Maori's foolishness. Conan took back his phone and replied a short thank you to joker, feeling again that joker's intelligence ability was exaggerated to an abnormal level.

Compared with being locked up in the office now, when Uncle Mori is famous enough to get in touch with the clues of the organization, the joker has already started to sort out and find the organization's power in Tokyo.

In this regard, I feel like I can’t catch up. Damn, I somehow feel like being chased by Party A and urging him to solve the case quickly.

It's all the organization's fault, the child's body is too slow!
Looking resentfully at the clues fed by the joker, Conan automatically and consciously followed Mori Kogoro who was out looking for someone.

----

"You came so fast, Miss Masami." Mao Lilan, who was standing on the side of the road, saw Hirota Masami running out of breath at a glance, and waved to her happily.

Hirota Masami ran up to them quickly, her face was filled with joy from the heart, and her calm and delicate appearance became brighter: "I'm here! Please everyone!"

"You are too polite." Embarrassed by her deep bow, Mori Kogoro patted the back of his head and smiled sheepishly, "Is this what a detective should do? You can't live up to the trust of your client!"

"I'm just, so happy." Hirota Masami grinned, adjusted the neckline of the jacket with some anxiety, and asked, "Where is my father?"

"Oh, in the Nerima area, it seems to be renting an apartment and living well. Don't worry, Miss Masami." Mori Kogoro pointed to his car parked on the side of the road, "We will see you off Let's go."

"Really, it's too much trouble for you... Great, I thought he wasn't in Tokyo anymore." Masami Hirota patted his chest, his every move was full of girlish vigor, Kogoro Mori couldn't help but smile Smile.

After the joker's warning, Conan raised his guard and frowned slightly.

The current Hirota Masami is still different from the first time he came to the office.

When I saw her for the first time, she was timid and pitiful, crumbling, and her clothes were very plain and simple, which fit the image of a lonely and helpless girl who came to the city alone to seek.

But today's her, maybe it's because of her high mood, the happy mood between her brows made her brighter...

After getting in the car, Mao Lilan talked and laughed with Hirota Masami all the way, while Conan sat silently beside him and curled up in a ball, trying not to attract anyone's attention, and silently listening to the conversation between the two.

Xiaolan is particularly good at this point. She is a sensitive character who can easily feel other people's emotions and has a strong ability to empathize. She is also very friendly. Few people can resist her enthusiastic offensive. Can get a lot of information.

Hirota Masami claimed to be a first-year high school student. In order to come to Tokyo to find her father, she took a long vacation and stayed in Tokyo for two or three weeks. Hirota Kenzo was her last relative. She and her father lived together for many years and worked as a taxi The driver's father was temporarily suspended for a period of time because of a traffic accident, but lost contact when he was out looking for a job...

It doesn't feel very real, Conan thought to himself.

The police couldn't find someone, but a girl from a small town chose to spend a lot of commission fees to find a well-known private investigator to help her find someone. With a family background like the one she described, there would be such Savings and ideas for expenses?Shouldn't I look for the newspaper or the radio, in order to have a greater possibility of getting in touch with my father?

Putting these thoughts down, Conan will write down these doubts one by one for the time being, and prepare to exchange information with joker according to the situation after sorting it out.

More than 20 minutes later, Mori Kogoro parked the car, took his daughter and Hirota Masami who were very excited, and walked to the apartment they found.

"Speaking of which, it's good luck." Mori Kogoro struttingly led the way, and said self-effacingly, "Well, when the children at home happened to be out, they saw your father, and we squatted at the nearby place for a while. I really met him, and found this place all the way...it's the room upstairs, go this way, Miss Yamei."

Conan grabbed Mao Lilan's clothes and followed them in small steps, keeping his eyes on Masami Hirota.

Joker said that Hirota Kenzo is a debt slave of a gangster. Because of his gambling addiction, he went bankrupt. If she is really Hirota Kenzo’s daughter, wouldn’t she think of places where her father loves to go to the racetrack?
Standing in front of the previously confirmed door of Room 202, Conan looked at Masami Hirota expectantly and rang the doorbell.

Wait and see, the truth is not clear enough now, just look at her reaction when meeting Kenzo Hirota...

"Ding-dong-"

The crisp sound of the doorbell echoed inside the door. Four people stood in front of the door and waited for a minute without hearing any reply.

"Hey, did you go out?" Mao Lilan frowned and looked at the time, "Is it so early..."

"Ding-dong-"

Mori Kogoro pressed the doorbell again, and the prolonged ringing sound echoed in the apartment until silence returned, but there was still no response.

Turning his attention to the door, Conan looked at the handle and felt uneasy: "Wait a minute, the door doesn't seem to be locked..."

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro also frowned, leaned towards the doorknob as he said, and turned tentatively.

The doorknob turned immediately, and the apartment door was opened with a click.

...Oops, things are not going well.

Compared with Ran Mori and Kogoro Mori who were still very at a loss about the situation, Conan, who knew that Kenzo Hirota might be related to the organization, immediately had the worst association.

"Mr. Hirota, Mr. Hirota?" Mao Lilan pushed the door halfway open and called twice into the room.

When no one responded, she finally pushed open the door and walked into the hallway.

Hirota Kenzo's staring dead body was quietly hanging on the chandelier in the living room. As the door opened, it swayed gently in the morning breeze. .

"Yeah—" as soon as he entered the door, Mao Lilan, who was facing the horrified expression of the corpse, closed his eyes and screamed.

"Ah, ah..." Hirota Masami raised her head, met the scene in the house, raised her hand to cover her mouth in a daze, and took two steps back trembling.

Damn it!The worst really happened!
Conan's eyes widened, he rushed into the room, looked at Kenzo Hirota's already frozen body, and hammered the wall angrily.

How could this happen? Could it be that their stalking was noticed by the organization, or did the joker's investigation touched the nerves of the organization and silenced this person?
"No, Dad... Dad!" Hirota Masami seemed to have finally regained her senses, let out a piercing howl, rolled her eyes, and fell down.

"Miss Yami, Miss Yami!" Mori Kogoro who was standing beside her quickly caught the fainted girl, and said sharply, "Xiao Lan, call the police and call an ambulance!"

Seeing Mao Lilan nodding with tears in his eyes, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed. Conan also stabilized his emotions. He immediately took out his cell phone and sent a message to the most likely insider.

[joker, something went wrong, Hirota Kenzo died. 】
