[Detective Conan] If the Yuanshan family gave birth to a boy

74.

Rin was sitting cross-legged in the living room studying what Kaito had just given him when Conan called. ——The appearance looks like a fidget spinner, but it is actually a rechargeable flash//light// bomb, which can be used as a flashlight when dimmed.It is said that Uncle Touichi made it himself, because Kaito prefers smoke//fog// bombs, so he left this to Rin.

In fact, the boy didn't expect that Conan would call him, and he still called to ask Hattori Heiji's whereabouts.

"Hey, brother Rin isn't with brother Heci? This is going to be difficult..."

"what happened?"

"Brother Pingji made an appointment with us to have lunch together, but it's past one o'clock now, and he didn't answer his phone - I thought you were together, so I called to ask... Brother Rin can help Can you contact Brother Heiji? His plane should have landed long ago, but there has been no news, and I don’t know where he went.”

"...Okay, I'll contact him."

It seems that Conan still doesn't know about his separation from Heiji...

Rin Toyama paused, staring at the screen of the phone for a while, thinking about whether this might be a trick set up by Hattori Heiji to get him to take the initiative to call him. The last letter tricked him into going to the hospital to see a doctor, the suspicion is very high...

but--

Even if it is a routine, he is willing to jump into it.

The boy dialed Hattori Heiji's number, the receiver's busy tone rang for a long time, and finally the voicemail was transferred.

Toyama Rin hit him four or five times, all with the same result.So he called Conan again, and learned that before Hattori Heiji went to the Mori Detective Agency, he had asked Toyama Ginshiro to find a man named Kusukawa.This person Toyama Rin has the impression that he seems to be his father's former subordinate, and he has visited the house several times.

"I'll go find him. I happen to be close and I know Mr. Nanchuan, so I don't need to bother you to run around."

"Is there really no need to help?"

"Well, it doesn't matter."

After hanging up the phone, the teenager contacted his father.

"Because Kusukawa wrote a letter a few days ago saying that he would come to visit, but there was no news after that. I was a little worried. It happened that Heiji said that he was going to Tokyo, so I asked him to stop by to have a look." Ginshiro said.

"Then does dad know the address of Mr. Nanchuan's home?"

"I remember it said on the envelope—"

Half an hour later, Rin Toyama stood outside Mr. Kusukawa's apartment and rang the doorbell.

"Ding-dong-"

nobody.

"Could it be that Heiji went outside?" The young man pinched his chin and thought, and inadvertently saw the wet print on the door. The pattern was familiar to him, and it was the letters on the baseball cap he gave Heiji.

Heiji probably got caught in the rain, and squatted here with a wet hat on, leaning against the door of this apartment...

Rin Toyama took out his mobile phone again and made a few calls to Heiji and Mr. Kusukawa, but no one answered.

Where did he go?

The boy sighed, looked at the door handle in front of him, tentatively pulled it, and actually opened the door.

No one answered the doorbell, the door was unlocked, and the phone was not answered. ——According to his past experience, the owner of this apartment is likely to have been killed.

So Rin Toyama rushed in immediately, searched all the rooms of the apartment but didn't see anyone.

"...Sure enough, Heiji has been here for a long time and everything looks like a case."

Could it be that you simply forgot to lock it?

The teenager looked at the computer with a black screen on the desk, and then moved his eyes to the pen holder and sticky note next to him——

Someone tore off a piece of sticky note, pressed it on the table and scribbled it with a pencil. ——When I was a child, Hattori Heiji once taught Toyama Rin to put the coin under the paper and paint it with a pencil, thus "drawing" a coin.It is certainly not surprising to see similar principles now.

Probably because Heiji couldn't wait any longer, he pulled the handle like him and found the door was open, so he came in to check the situation, and then smeared the post-it note with a pencil to make it appear what was recorded on the paper in the previous chapter: "Xianqiao Town, Ito ", but the Fandi number behind it is not clear.

With Heiji's character, I must have gone to look for him after getting the news, but Ito is not a rare surname, and Kenbashi Town is very big, maybe there are twenty or thirty households with the surname Ito living there. Which one is it?

Rin Toyama sighed, turned around and closed the door of the apartment, intending to ask the police to check the address, and then began to knock on the door one by one.

"Hi, may I ask if there is a dark-skinned high school boy with an Osaka accent who came here today? ——Oh, yes, thank you."

"Excuse me, have you seen a dark-skinned high school boy? Someone who is slightly shorter than me? Osaka accent? ——That's it, excuse me."

"Hello--"

When asked about the tenth household, Toyama Rin unexpectedly saw the fat woman whom he helped recover the wallet a few days ago. ——The young man froze for a moment, and the other party seemed to recognize him, and immediately showed a smile.

"It's you! Hey, thank you so much that day. Can I help you with anything? Why didn't you call ahead! I can arrange time—"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I actually didn't expect that I would come here today... My friend said that he was going to find someone named Ito in Yinqiao Town, but I couldn't contact him after that, so I can only go one by one Ask to see if anyone has seen him.—I didn't expect this to be your house."

"Haha, what a coincidence.—What are the characteristics of your friend?"

"A high school boy with a white baseball cap, dark skin, slightly shorter than me, with an Osaka accent like me."

"Oh, such a boy... I haven't seen it before." The fat woman poked her chin with her index finger and thought for a while, then replied, "I'm sorry, can you go to another place and ask? I remember there is a family named Ito nearby..."

Rin Toyama shifted his gaze, and saw the messy footprints at the entrance, all stained with mud, one of which he was familiar with both in size and pattern. ——He went to buy the pair of sneakers that he used to buy together. At that time, because of the special pattern on the sole, he took a closer look.

"what happened?"

"It seems that you are very busy today, with so many visitors." The young man scratched the hair on the back of his head and smiled shyly.

"Ah, yes... a lot of people selling insurance came here one after another. Finally, I was the only one left at home. I was planning to go out just now."

If many salesmen came in one day, most people would be very bored. It is impossible for everyone to invite them into the house. However, Toyama Rin did not see these shoe prints leaving.Besides... Japanese salesmen should all wear formal clothes. He has never seen anyone wearing sneakers to sell at his door.And the size of this shoe print is obviously impossible to belong to this woman.Although he didn't know if Heiji happened to be wearing those sneakers today, Ms. Ito was very suspicious - otherwise she wouldn't need to lie about this kind of thing, right?

"That's really disturbing, I'll go to the neighborhood and ask again—"

"Well, okay. —Oh, by the way, what's your name? I was in a hurry to see a client that day, and I didn't even ask your name."

"Me? My name is Rin, Kuroba Rin." Toyama Rin blinked, as if to let Ms. Ito hear his name clearly, deliberately slowed down his speech and raised his voice.

After the boy left, Ms. Ito quickly closed the door, squinted her eyes and snorted coldly, then stepped up the steps step by step, opened the trap door of the attic with a hook, lowered the ladder and climbed up.

The corner of Hattori Heiji's mouth was broken, his face was covered with wounds, his hands were in handcuffs, and he was pinned to the ground by a man with long hair and a vicious face, with a gun on his forehead.

"Oh, oh, what's going on? Isn't such a handsome face ruined for nothing?"

Hearing this, the long-haired man in the shadow reached out and grabbed the famous detective's hair and pulled it back fiercely, forcing Hattori Heiji to stand up and look up at the fat woman in front of him.

"I thought that the person who came to you would be a difficult person like a police detective, but I didn't expect that he was also a little boy, so I dismissed it casually. ——But it's no wonder, after all, Hattori-kun is still a high school student. Said It's a coincidence, when a robber robbed my wallet a few days ago, that kid helped to stop it, but today I caught his good friend, think about it, I'm really sorry for him." The fat woman said from the long The hair man took it in his hand, and then raised a white sticky note towards Hattori Heiji, "Okay, let's stop talking, it's working time now, let's get rid of this detective who looks like a mouse in the gutter as soon as possible." You can leave early by using the secret code written in a mysterious way."

Lawyer Ito stepped on Kusukawa on the ground, he was motionless, as if he was dead.

Hattori Heiji took a breath, and it seemed that he was seriously injured, but his voice was still calm and powerful: "I'm sorry, I had ringing in my ears just now, and I didn't hear what you were talking about."—Who do you call a rat in the gutter ?”

The man next to him punched him in the stomach, and Heiji was handcuffed, unable to control his balance, and fell to the floor again.

"You have a temper, but you don't know if you can continue to maintain your demeanor in the future."

Lawyer Ito winked, and another slightly fat man came out from the corner, holding a black whip in his hand.

"Don't slap your face, my favorite is his face."

"Snapped--"

Hattori Heiji lowered his head and clenched his teeth tightly without making a sound.

"Our time is very tight, Hattori-kun. I hope you will cooperate, otherwise you will be tortured to death by us like this Kusukawa."

There was another period of silence. Hattori Heiji glanced at the note thrown on the ground by lawyer Ito, frowned, and did not respond.

Attorney Ito seemed to have lost his patience.

"...It seems that you still don't understand your current situation. Otherwise, why don't you just cut off your tinnitus ear."

Hearing this, the long-haired man picked up a dagger from the side, grabbed Hattori Heiji's hair and forced him to turn his head to expose his left ear, and—

"Ding-dong-ding-dong-"

The downstairs doorbell rang again.

Hattori Heiji frowned even tighter.

When the doorbell rang for the first time not long ago, he thought it was Kogoro Mori, who had an appointment with him before, and his group had found it all the way here. He was about to call for help, but he heard Rin Toyama's voice.

How could it be him?Shouldn't he stay at his aunt's?

[Could it be that guy Kudo couldn't get in touch with me, so he thought Rin was with me and called him? !Na Lin must also know that I was entrusted by his father to find Nanchuan...]

Then, in the apartment, I saw a pencil-scribbled post-it note on the desk, so I found it.

So Hattori Heiji changed his mind instantly and closed his mouth.And the man next to him seemed to believe that he would find a chance to ask for help, so he simply blocked his mouth and beat him severely.

[Hurry up, idiot! 】

Then Toyama Rin finally left, but the words he said before leaving made Hattori Heiji's heart beat suddenly.

"My name is Rin, Kuroba Rin."

Kuroba was Toyama Kaoru's surname before her marriage.

He must have noticed something, so he said that specially.

I know you are here. - Hattori Heiji felt that Toyama Rin was conveying this news to him.

The doorbell this time...

Hattori Heiji pricked up his ears to hear if his friend brought the police back here again, but because he was beaten up by the person next to him not long ago, he had a splitting headache and tinnitus all the time.

After Lawyer Ito went downstairs, the two thugs made eye contact, and then the man with a long whip clung to the trapdoor, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement downstairs.

The door of Ito's house opened, and Attorney Ito was talking to someone.

At the same time, the windows of the attic were smashed without warning, and the dark red curtains that were originally tightly covered floated up, blocking the sight of these people.A figure took the opportunity to jump into the room, and went straight to Hattori Heiji who was lying on the ground.

Rin Toyama covered his friend's eyes with his left hand, and threw the flash//light// bullet that Kaito gave him with his right hand.

For a moment all the corners of the attic were illuminated.The two men were not protected by the young man, and no one reminded them, so they couldn't see anything when the bright light flashed.

"What!!! What's going on!!!"

"Fuck! My eyes!!!"

The white light goes off.Rin Toyama let go of Heiji, jumped up and kicked away the hand of the long-haired man next to him, preventing him from touching the hand//gun on the wooden box first, and then picked it up by himself and smashed it on the opponent's head One knock knocked him out.Immediately afterwards, he rushed to the fat man not far away who was still waving a long whip in an attempt to defend himself, and a pair of scissors kicked the man's neck and crashed straight to the floor, smashing a hole here.

Lawyer Ito, who was talking to a child downstairs, heard the movement in the attic, thinking that his two thugs had accidentally let Hattori Heiji break free, panicked, and ran straight to the attic without caring about the person in front of him , After poking his head out of the trapdoor, he found that the two men were lying on the ground with bruised noses and swollen faces, while Hattori Heiji remained where he was, with his hands still handcuffed and kneeling on the ground.Although embarrassed, the smile on his face was very bright.

"Yo, it looks like you lost this bet in the end, auntie."

"What, what's going on?!" Hattori Heiji didn't break free at all, so what is——

"Ka—" Lawyer Ito felt something cold on his head.

"What a coincidence! It's you, Lawyer Ito." Toyama Rin half-kneeled on the floor, holding Lawyer Ito's hand//gun firmly with his right hand. "Excuse me, have you ever seen a high school boy with a white hat, dark skin, and an Osaka accent like me?"

"...Damn... Kuroba, you brat—" Ms. Ito's expression seemed to want to kill someone.

"Oh, by the way, when you go to the police station to make a confession, don't forget to say my name wrong. ——Toyama Rin, is a detective. ——It's just temporary."
