Pretending to Be a Good Person in the World of Conan

This time, it was Mao Lilan who opened the door. This high school girl is very hospitable, especially cats.

In fact, Mao Lilan has always wanted to raise a cat, but Mao Li Kogoro didn't like it very much, so he couldn't develop it in the end.Now cats come to visit every day, which just solves this kind of trouble.

Entering the living room, Shiraishi saw that Conan was leaning on the sofa reading a newspaper, and he was very listless.

Hearing the movement at the door, Conan glanced at the black cat who was being greeted by Mao Lilan, and turned his head resentfully.

Baishi guessed that he was tired of chasing the bus. After all, the bus where the transmitter was located was a city bus, and the route was very far away.

While Mao Lilan went to the kitchen to prepare snacks, Shiraishi ran to the workbench and took a look.

It may be that Akemi Miyano cried too pitifully when he was entrusted. Mori Kogoro was full of responsibility and was not lazy at all. He stared at the map spread out on the table and focused on where to search next.

Shiraishi jumped on the table to check the information, and found that Mori Kogoro went to Kenzo Hirota's company and a pet shop near his home in the morning, but people who had an impression of Kenzo Hirota said that he hadn't shown up since the day before yesterday.

There were some fragmentary clues recorded in the notebook, Shiraishi flipped through it for a while, and when he turned back to the first page, he suddenly remembered a clue.

It flicked out a nail, and stretched out its hand towards the book.

……

Kogoro Mori was racking his brains to plan his next move when suddenly he heard a rustling sound.

Turning his head in doubt, he saw a cat on the table at some point. The cat was lowering its head, stretching its nails and scratching at his notebook. There were a few pieces scattered around the cat's feet.

"Hello!!" Mori Kogoro was startled, he jumped up, and angrily reached out his hand to stop the saboteurs.

However, before even touching a cat hair, Mao Lilan, who heard the movement, flashed to the desk.

She didn't know what happened, so she followed her heart and took the cat away from Mori Kogoro's arms, then frowned and looked at her father: "If you don't like cats, don't bully them!"

"Who is bullying whom!" Mori Kogoro pointed to his notebook and complained angrily, "It tore up my clues!"

"!" Mao Lilan looked down and saw a few pieces of paper, feeling a little guilty.

She only knew that Kogoro Moori didn't like cats, so she subconsciously thought that Kogoro Moori was angry with it because it was on the table.

Unexpectedly, now it seems that the cat really did it first: "It, it didn't do it on purpose, and it only broke a few pieces, just put it back together, I'll help you put it together..."

Conan also heard the wind and walked in at this time.

He looked at the torn book on tiptoe, and a second later, he suddenly thought of something, and raised his hand to stop Mao Lilan who was about to restore the paper.

In the notebook, the names of Hirota Kenzo's four cats were originally recorded - "Hao", "Wang", "Emperor" and "Kuai".

But now, each name has been torn into a separate piece and rearranged as "Hao Kuai Di Wang".

If it was any other cat, Conan would think it was an accident, and it would be over after a look.

But the cat raised by Black Cat is different.

And it happens that each fragment has a word, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a coincidence, it's more like trying to convey some message.

With this thought in mind, Conan immediately paid attention to the reordered text.

He asked Mao Lilan and Mori Kogoro: "Do you know anything or a place called 'Hao Kuai Di Wang'? I always feel like I have heard this word somewhere before."

"Heroic emperor?" After reading it together, Mori Kogoro had an impression of this word.

He also likes to gamble, and occasionally goes to the racetrack: "This is the name of a racehorse. The past few years were very good, but recently it has gone downhill..."

"That's it!" Mao Lilan figured it out, "Mr. Hirota must be very fond of betting on horses, so he named the cat after a racehorse. Let's go to the racetrack and see, maybe we can meet him!"

"This is indeed a clue, but we don't know how often he went to the racetrack. Even if he went, how could he find out with tens of thousands of people..."

Conan looked at the few pieces of paper on the table, feeling rather reconciled, as if he couldn't compare to Shiraishi, but now, he didn't see the clues that even cats could see.

But does this mean that the black cat also likes to bet on horses?

Thinking of this, Conan once again deposited useless knowledge that did not exist in his knowledge reserve.

Chapter 148 Although I Can't Open the Lock, I Can Blow the Door

Kogoro Mori and Conan both feel that there is little hope, but Ran Mori is very optimistic.

She was also very sympathetic to Masami Hirota's experience. After asking Mori Kogoro and learning that he had no idea where to find someone next, Mo Lilan decisively dragged the two to the racetrack.

Originally, she wanted to keep the cat at home, but the cat hugged her leg and refused to let go, so she had to take it with her in the end.

When the group arrived at the gate of the racetrack, they were stopped by a notice saying "Pets not allowed".

Worried about where to put the cat, Mao Lilan suddenly saw a somewhat familiar middle-aged man walking out of the gate of the racetrack.

The man was holding a newspaper, and while reading it, walked along the street and entered a residential area.

"Look at that person..." Mao Lilan was taken aback, tugged Moori Kogoro and Conan, and then raised his hand, "Looks like Mr. Hirota."

Kogoro Maoli took out the photo suspiciously, compared it slightly, and his face changed: "What does it look like, it's obviously it! Hurry up!"

……

Having said that, after seeing Kenzo Hirota's freedom is completely unrestricted, Mori Kogoro immediately realized that he was not kidnapped or assassinated, but lost contact on his own initiative.

Going over to talk to her rashly will only scare the snake away.

So he chose to follow the other party's house quietly, and after confirming Kenzo Hirota's address, Kogoro Mori returned to the detective agency proudly, and called Akemi Miyano.
