Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Kogoro Mori seemed to have gone on some dangerous commission and is now missing.

Conan found the note on Kogoro Mouri's desk and immediately thought of a solution.

Conan took the note paper and began to apply it evenly with a pencil.

Under the smear, words appeared on the blank note paper.

[October 10, 20am, Moore Hotel Outdoor Cafe]

Kamiya Minatsuki, who was standing behind Conan, also saw the words on the note: "Is it there?"

Conan shook his head and said, "I don't know. Go investigate, Kamiya."

"Well, let's go then."

Kamiya Minatsuki said to Mao Lilan, "Ran, I and this kid are going to look for Uncle Mao Li. You wait for us at the office. Maybe Uncle Mao Li's phone is just out of battery and he will be back soon."

Mao Lilan nodded and agreed: "Please."

Minatsuki Kamiya drove the car and took Conan, who was holding a skateboard, to the open-air cafe of the Moore Hotel.

After arriving at the destination, Conan asked the waiter: "Excuse me, the famous detective Maori Kogoro came here yesterday, right?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Yeah, I've been here."

Conan asked again: "Who is he here to meet?"

The waiter asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

Kamiya Minetsuki lit a cigarette and said coolly: "Me? I am the disciple of Maori Kogoro, and also the famous detective Kamiya Minetsuki."

"You are the famous detective Mr. Kamiya who is known as the savior of Shibuya. I met Mr. Mori yesterday and Mr. Kamiya again today. I am so lucky!"

The waiter looked at Kamiya Minatsuki as if he were an idol, which made Kamiya Minatsuki very happy.

Conan's eyes twitched, and then he asked, "Brother, does Uncle Kogoro live in this hotel?"

The waiter replied Conan: "I'm sorry, Mr. Maori is not staying in our hotel. He was sitting in that seat over there yesterday, looking in a certain direction. Then a call came from the cafe asking for Mr. Maori, so I gave the phone to Mr. Maori."

Conan quickly continued to ask: "Do you know the content of the call?"

The waiter recalled: "All I heard was Mr. Maori saying something like 'I can't take a taxi right away? Why? Really? I understand.' Then after the call ended, Mr. Maori asked if there was a bus stop nearby."

After Conan asked the waiter about the station location, he said to Kamiya Minazuki, "Kamiya, let's go to that station and take a look."

Minatsuki Kamiya drove Conan to the station.

In the car.

Conan said seriously: "This time uncle is very likely following someone, no, maybe someone asked him to do this."

Kamiya Minatsuki narrowed his eyes and said, "The phone call is unreachable. I've lost contact for a day. Xiaolan mentioned Officer Megure's strange tone. Little brat, do you think Uncle Mori is working for the Metropolitan Police Department?"

After thinking for a while in silence, Conan agreed: "It's possible."

"If that's the case, let's call and ask." Kamiya Minatsuki called Officer Takagi: "Hey, Officer Takagi, you guys know about Uncle Mori's matter, right? What happened?"

"Well, we don't know yet... Well, I still have things to do, so I'll hang up first."

Officer Takagi obviously lacked confidence in what he said and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Kamiya Minatsuki said with a "tsk". "It's obvious. Uncle Maori must be working for the guys from the Metropolitan Police Department. Now he might have gotten into trouble."

Conan's expression was very serious: "No matter what, let's go to the station first and find out Uncle Kogoro's route."

After arriving at the station.

Minatsuki Kamiya and Conan were looking at the route map on the electronic screen at the ticket vending machine.

Conan gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, if I don't know which bus Uncle took, it's useless to get here."

Suddenly, I heard two people talking behind me.

"Let me check the taxi stand... ah, is this the one?"

"No, there is one at the exit on the other side."

Conan was stunned for a moment, and remembered the waiter's description of what Kogoro Mouri said when he called, "If you don't want me to take a taxi right away."

"Uncle said that we couldn't do it right away... I know, this is what he meant! Kamiya, come with me!"

Conan brought Kamiya Minatsuki to a taxi stand at another exit and found a staff member and asked him if he had seen Mouri Kogoro yesterday.

"You mean the famous detective Maori Kogoro? He was there yesterday."

Conan was surprised and asked: "Then can you tell me where Detective Maori got off the bus yesterday?"

The staff told Conan a specific address.

Conan shouted to Kamiya Minatsuki who was smoking not far away: "Kamiya, I got the address, let's go!"

Kamiya Minazuki became a full-time driver and drove Conan to the designated location.

After Kamiya Minatsuki and Conan got off the bus, they happened to be at the entrance of an alley.

The two entered the alley, and the sharp-eyed Kamiya Minatsuki saw the cell phone in the sink.

"That's Uncle Maori's cell phone."

Kamiya Minatsuki picked up the phone from the sink, but because the phone was not waterproof, he couldn't even turn it on.

Kamiya Minatsuki looked at the phone in his hand and reasoned: "The phone fell into the sink, which means that Uncle Maori was calling here at the time, but for some reason, the phone fell into the sink, such as being suddenly attacked by someone..."

Conan observed the surrounding environment and followed Kamiya Minatsuki's reasoning and said: If Uncle Kogoro was on the phone in this alley yesterday and was attacked, then Uncle Kogoro may have been somewhere here before. Let's look around. "

Minatsuki Kamiya and Conan were searching everywhere in the area.

Kamiya Minatsuki saw a familiar abandoned factory.

It’s not that Kamiya Minetsuki has been here before, it’s just that when he was in the Black Organization, those guys liked to arrange their meeting places in abandoned factories.

"Little ghost, go over there and take a look."

Minatsuki Kamiya and Conan came to the abandoned factory.

After entering the abandoned factory, Kamiya Minatsuki and Conan saw shoe prints on the ground.

Conan observed the shoe prints on the ground and said, "It looks like these shoe prints were left there not long ago, and they must be Uncle Kogoro's!"

Kamiya Minazuki was surprised and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"

Conan replied: "Because uncle hasn't changed his shoes for a long time. It rained heavily a few days ago, and Uncle Kogoro stepped into a mud puddle and walked directly into the office. He was scolded by Xiaolan. The shoe prints left on the ground are the same as the shoe prints here. So, Uncle Kogoro came here yesterday. Let's follow the footprints and look for him in this abandoned factory!"

Kamiya Minatsuki and Conan followed the footprints and walked towards the second floor of the factory.
