Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

Sitting in the cafe downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency, Imaguchi was drinking lemonade and calling Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan, where are you now? I came to deliver the textbooks I borrowed before, but when I knocked on your door, there was no one."

"I'm sorry, Imaguchi, I went out to play with Heye and the others. There is a case here. Our whole family is here. We won't be able to go back until at least tomorrow. As for the borrowed textbooks, you can put them in my mailbox first! I'll get it myself when I go back." Xiaolan looked at Conan and Mouri Kogoro around them, and then said.

"Why don't I put a cafe for you? I'm afraid your gas tank can't fit in it." Imaguchi looked at the books in his hands and said.

"That's okay, I'll just ask you to make a trip."

"It's okay, then you all have fun."

After hanging up the phone, Imaguchi stood up, walked to the counter, and looked at Toru Amuro with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Amuro, these books belong to Xiaolan. Their whole family is away now. Could you please put them here for a while? Come and pick them up here when she comes back."

"Okay." Toru Amuro nodded, and then asked with some confusion, "But have Mr. Mori and the others gone out?"

"Yes, Xiaolan said there was a case, so she went away. Mr. Amuro, didn't you know?" Imaguchi was a little confused. Amuro Toru worked under the Mori Detective Agency, and something happened to Xiaolan and his family. What? He should have gotten the news earlier than anyone else. How could he not know that Xiaolan, Heye and the others were out?

"I don't know. I'm still wondering why I haven't seen Xiaolan and the others all morning. I thought they were all at home and didn't go out." Toru Amuro shook his head. This time he really didn't know.

"Xiaolan and the others did go out, just yesterday, but when they left, Mr. Amuro happened to be busy and didn't see them.

I remember walking with the Kanto detective who often came to see Mr. Mori and his friends. "Enomoto Azusa happened to be passing by and heard what they said, so he explained.

"No wonder I feel like it's been quiet today." Toru Amuro nodded in realization. He was still wondering why none of the Mori family went downstairs for dinner today!

"Please leave these books here for a while. When Xiaolan comes back, she will come here to pick them up, okay?" Imaguchi shook the textbooks in his hand and looked at Toru Amuro and Azusa Enomoto. asked.

"Of course no problem."

"Then bring me something to eat! I'm hungry." Imaguchi touched his stomach heartily.

"Okay, then I'll get you a menu." Azusa Enomoto nodded and turned aside.

"No, bring me a piece of seafood and egg fried rice, a piece of pork chop, and a cup of coffee." Imaguchi stopped Azusa Enomoto and said.

"it is good."

……

After eating, Imaguchi walked home slowly and as soon as he arrived downstairs, he met Ayumi and the others walking towards them.

"Ayumi? Are you here to see me?" Imaguchi looked at the unhappy children and asked in confusion, "Why do you look unhappy? What happened?"

"Brother Imaguchi?" Ayumi and the others were a little surprised when they saw Imaguchi.

In the room, Imaguchi poured a drink for each of the children in the Junior Detective Team, and then sat across from them.

"So you are here to find the brother you met near here before?" Imaguchi concluded in his heart.

"Yes, we met a big brother by chance when we were playing football at a nearby stadium two days ago."

"That big brother is a little strange. He seems to be looking for something all the time. He won't tell me anything if I ask him. He seems a little sneaky."

"We just happened to find this when we were playing again. We remembered that this was the mobile phone chain of the big brother, and we wanted to return it to him."

"But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see anyone else. I thought he might live nearby, so I wanted to look for him."

Several members of the Young Detective Team explained clearly what happened in one sentence, and Imaguchi listened and nodded.

"So that's it, but there are a lot of people living nearby. With the way you are searching, it's difficult to find each other." Imaguchi couldn't help but pour cold water on them. How many people live in their building alone? Man, if Bumi and the others asked every household, it would probably take an hour.

What's more, there is not only one building of theirs in this area, but there are hundreds of households living in it, not to mention thousands, within a radius of one mile. According to their method of searching, they have to find when to go.

"We know, but we don't know where the other person lives. We only remember that he lives in this direction." Mitsuhiko said with a sigh.

"Then do you have any other clues? For example, what the other party looks like, or what characteristics it is, it will be easier to find." Imaguchi planned to help them, and took out his mobile phone as he spoke.

"Let me think about this. I remember that the elder brother was wearing a purple top and dark gray pants. He was neither fat nor thin." Ayumi sat on the sofa and recalled the other person's appearance.

"The hair is black and broken, very white, somewhat handsome, with headphones on his ears, and a little tall." Mitsuhiko gestured as he spoke.

"I remember that the elder brother had a faint fragrance on his body. It was not a floral fragrance, but it was a bit familiar, a bit like..." Yuantai said hesitantly, recalling how to describe it in his mind.

"It smells like laundry detergent, but the smell on his body is relatively strong." Haihara Ai said.

"So that big brother sells laundry detergent?" Ayumi asked.

"It doesn't look like it. I think it's from a laundry." Mitsuhiko shook his head and said it was his own inference.

"I think it's also possible that they make laundry detergent." Yuantai also said quickly.

"In that case, it's better to ask around based on these possibilities. With your previous description, it should be much easier to find." Imaguchi handed the recorded content to Ayumi and the others and said.

"it is good."
