what tennis

◎The kidnapping arrived late◎

Mari Nishijima and Noji were quiet for an instant, and they both pricked up their ears to listen carefully to the movement below—Mari Nishijima didn't hear anything wrong, and looked at Echizen Ryuya suspiciously.

Immediately afterwards, there was a slight sound of 'creak, creak' from the stairs outside.

Noji opened his eyes wide: "It can't be the police, right? It's over..."

Echizen Ryuya walked to the door and blocked Mari Nishijima behind: "It's not a policeman, this voice—it should be a child."

He listened to the footsteps for a while, and the expression on his face became strange.Mari Nishijima looked at his expression and whispered, "...it can't be Conan, can it?"

She just guessed casually.

But when Mari Nishijima poked his head out from the door, he actually saw a familiar child walking up to the second floor while touching the handrail of the stairs.The other party naturally also saw Mari Nishijima, and the two looked at each other, Mari Nishijima blinked: "It's really you, Conan."

Conan tilted his head, and said in a childish voice, "Sister Xidao, why are you here?"

Nishijima Mari: "My friend and I came here to look for things, how about you? I remember that the outside gate is locked..."

Noji: "I remember! There is a small drain in the back wall of this house, which was originally used to prevent water from accumulating in the yard - if it is such a small child, it can barely pass through, this kid will not Did it crawl in through the drain?"

He also participated in that interview, so he knew that Conan was the child who was with Detective Maori.

Conan raised his head, with an innocent and lovely smile on his face: "Uncle Maori asked me to come. He said he was going to visit the scene of the first corpse again, so let me go here for him."

"I borrowed the key from my uncle from the forensics department and opened the door directly."

He took out a bunch of keys from his coat pocket, and waved them in front of Mari Nishijima, with a childish and somewhat smug expression - Mari Nishijima touched his head and praised: "Conan is really amazing, such a small Then we can help Mr. Maori solve the case."

Echizen Longya looked down at him, with a smile that was not a smile: "Is it illegal to employ child labor? This is not something children should do. I'd better call Mr. Mori and ask him to come and bring them back."

He took out his cell phone and made a gesture to make a call.

Conan suddenly took out a roll of newspaper from behind him: "Ah, that's weird——I found a sports newspaper from two years ago in the living room downstairs. The person on it is as good as Brother Long Ya..."

Echizen Ryuya walked over in two or three steps, bent down to take the newspaper from Conan's hand.But Conan held on tightly, Echizen Ryuya tried a little harder, but failed to take the newspaper away from Conan.

The veins on his forehead twitched, and the corners of his mouth pulled up, showing a dangerous sneer: "Conan, I think this newspaper may have something to do with the missing Maki Hirakawa, please let go of it and give it to your brother to study, okay?"

Conan blinked and pretended to be a child without any psychological burden: "Ah? But didn't my brother say he wanted to call Uncle Mao Li? Then I will give the newspaper to Uncle Mao Li directly! Uncle's reasoning is amazing, he The relationship between this newspaper and the case can be seen at a glance."

Mari Nishijima, who was squeezed in the middle by one big and one small, felt inexplicably weak and helpless at the moment.

But Echizen Ryuya and Nishijima Mari were waiting for each other, and neither of them seemed willing to take a step back; Echizen Ryuya took a deep breath and smiled: "Since Mr. Mori is investigating the first scene, I will call now It's not good to bother him, so I thought about it and let Conan-kun stay."

Conan fulfilled his wish, smiled and let go: "Then let's start with Sister Hirakawa's room first?"

Echizen Longya unfolded the newspaper, glanced at it perfunctorily, rolled it up and stuffed it into his coat pocket: "I told you in advance, don't destroy things in the house, don't suddenly jump on the balcony to make dangerous moves, Don't bother my girlfriend. Otherwise, I'll call and ask Mr. Maori to take you back."

Conan had already run into the room, and also responded to Echizen Ryuya in a very perfunctory manner.

Mari Nishijima scratched his head: "Actually, it doesn't matter if he follows me, I'll be safer watching him."

Echizen Ryuya: "...it's okay, I'll watch him, just take a look at him casually."

Nishijima didn't know why, but she nodded obediently.

Both Echizen Ryuya and Conan went straight to Maki Hirakawa's room, leaving Mari Nishijima and Noji at the door of the room.

Mari Nishijima looked at him: "There are already Longya and Conan in Hirakawa's room, shall we go and see other rooms?"

Noji nodded: "No problem. But... the kid just now—I saw him once or twice before and didn't feel anything, but after watching him for a long time today, I found——"

Mari Nishijima: "What?"

Noji clenched his fist and hit his palm: "He must be Kudo Shinichi's fan too!"

Mari Nishijima: "... Is there a telepathy between your Kudo Shinichi fans and fans?"

Noji put his hands on his hips, triumphantly: "You can tell by looking at the hairstyle. Look at that brat's hairstyle, is it exactly the same as Kudo Shinichi? It's a shrunken version of Kudo Shinichi!"

"Isn't that child being fostered by Mr. Maori? No matter how you put it, he should admire Mr. Maori more, right?"

"How can Mori Kogoro be compared with Kudo Shinichi! He must have been lucky to solve those cases, and Kudo Shinichi would have the same effect!"

Noji swears, very confident.Mari Nishijima didn't want to quarrel with the overzealous detective fan about such insignificant issues, so she directly opened the door of the next room.

The next room is not locked, the door handle can be easily unscrewed, the door lock is rusted, it takes a little effort to unscrew the door handle.

The room inside the door is small, only about the size of four stacks of tatami mats.

There are many old furniture and sundries stacked randomly inside, and the dust is everywhere, making it impossible to get out.Mari Nishijima stood at the door and looked at it, frowning: "It seems that I can't get in."

Noji also hesitated: "I guess there is no way to find any clues in such a chaotic place..."

"Sister Xidao!"

Conan suddenly ran out from the next room, holding up a photo frame excitedly: "Look at this woman, is it the woman in the group photo in your father's room?"

Mari Nishijima looked down at the photo album that Conan held up high. On it was a group photo of two girls with a big difference in age.One of the girls was still wearing her kindergarten uniform, while the other wore loose striped short-sleeves and denim shorts, smiling brightly.

The photo was a little yellowed, and she hesitated for a few seconds: "It seems to be the same person. Who is this?"

Noji answered Nishijima Mari's question: "This is Hirakawa's sister, Hirakawa Mayo, but her sister disappeared five years ago... I think she disappeared abroad."

Conan: "But Maki Hirakawa's information says that her sister died in a ship accident on the way back to China five years ago."

Noji: "Because the body was not found. That guy Hirakawa had a good relationship with her sister. Of course, she would not admit that her sister had passed away if the body was not found, but we all know that the ship The sunken ship has not been salvaged yet, and the people must have disappeared."

Conan's expression froze, and the glasses reflected white light: "So, Mayo Hirakawa's body was not salvaged, so it was never confirmed dead, right?"

Noji: "...It's not wrong if you insist on saying that. But it must be impossible to be alive, right? It is said that everyone on that ship is dead!"

Conan turned to look at Echizen Ryuya: "If the information you provided, Echizen brother, is reliable, I think the kidnapper is probably..."

Echizen Ryuya: "There is no evidence. According to the current policy of the Japanese police, without evidence, even with a search warrant, they cannot casually enter the private residence of an American—that guy must have been in Japan for two years. When he was released from prison, he was banned for life because of his black spots, but the underground tennis court and some tennis lovers and wealthy businessmen who held private parties liked him very much."

"The tennis international exchange tournament ends next week, and he will definitely return with the American team."

Conan's face showed a resentment that was completely different from his age, and he clenched his fist and smashed the wall: "Damn! That guy is extremely cautious, and there is no evidence left that can provide an excuse for the search!"

Noji: "...Wait, Conan, and——Echizen-kun, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"

Nishijima Mari: "Although I didn't understand it, it should mean that the murderer has been found, but for some reason I can't go to the other party's house to search."

Noji was shocked: "Didn't you hear it clearly?!"

Nishijima spread his hands: "Because I didn't understand who the murderer was and how they determined the murderer. So I still didn't understand the rounding."

Echizen Ryuya patted Nishijima Mari's head, smiled and said, "Mori-chan is very smart, that's what Conan and I just said."

Although I didn't understand it very well, I was praised.Nishijima Mari was quite embarrassed, put her hands behind her back and smiled.

"But can't we search without evidence? I remember that if it's the police, they should be able to search for major suspects first..."

Echizen Ryuya: "The other party's situation is very special, they are not ordinary foreign tourists, and if they really want to do something, the police will definitely suffer. There is no way to break in unless the police use guns/guns."

However, using guns/guns against "Americans" with special identities when there is insufficient evidence is something that everyone knows is almost a fantasy.

Conan frowned, trying to think about whether there was any other way.

Echizen Longya directly held him by the collar and pinched him under his arm: "Let's go, let's go to Police Officer Megure and borrow a few people to go in and search."

Conan was caught off guard and was picked up, flustered: "Wait——wait! Didn't you just say..."

Echizen Ryuya: "The police can't get in, but I can get in."

Conan was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up immediately: "That's right! You are a net..."

Echizen Ryuya pinched his face and rubbed it vigorously.He pinched back what Conan didn't finish, and Q Dan's little face was ravaged/ravaged as dough.

He stared at Echizen Ryuya with wide eyes in shock.

Echizen Ryuya just kneaded it by himself, and even held the child in front of Nishijima Mari: "The kid's face feels really good, do you want to try it?"

"..."

Looking at Conan's shocked and pitiful big eyes, and his reddened face, Mari Nishijima felt a little sympathy for each other.

She quickly rubbed her hands, a shy smile appeared on her well-behaved face: "It's really soft."

Conan: "..."

This couple seems to have that serious illness.

Echizen Longya carried Conan, and said: "Then I will take Conan away first, and you take a walk back slowly——I will definitely go home before dinner. Do you have anything for dinner?"

Xi Dao thought about it for a while, and said hesitantly: "I kind of want to eat seafood."

Echizen Longya smiled brightly: "Then when I come back, I will stop by the seafood market to buy some seafood."

"..."

Conan was a little powerless to complain: We are handling a case!Serial murder, bro!Don't talk about dinner with your girlfriend so easily, okay?We're going to rush into the murderer's lair later!

Echizen Ryuya wanted to tell Mari Nishijima something, but Noji couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to remind him: "Stop chatting here, and call Mr. Mori quickly——Little couple Want to chat and wait until the serial murderer is solved, don't you have a lot of time for you to chat?"

Mari Nishijima coughed dryly, and pushed Echizen Ryuya's shoulder: "Noji-kun is right, Ryuya, go find Mr. Mori."

Echizen Ryuya: "I will soon..."

Mari Nishijima pushed his shoulders, walked out, and patted his back: "Okay, okay! I know, I will definitely wait for you at home, go quickly. Now that Mr. Hirakawa is dead, we have to Race against time to save people, you are so wordy, Long Ya—"

The boyfriend who was rejected showed a helpless expression.

Echizen Ryuya first took Conan to find Mr. Mori—actually, he went directly to Police Officer Megure. In order to save time, they didn’t plan to go to the police station, but directly called Police Officer Megure to send someone to go with them Meet somewhere.

After walking out of Hirakawa's house, Conan finally had the opportunity to ask the question he had been curious about all along: "Why doesn't Echizen brother want sister Nishijima to know that you are playing tennis?"

Echizen Ryuya: "How did you find out?"

Relying on his child's body, Conan opened his eyes and said nonsense: "When we first met. Because I often followed my uncle and learned various detective skills, so I probably guessed that you are a professional tennis player, brother!" Later I tried to look up my brother's name, he is very famous!"

Echizen Ryuya snorted: "Those media are really troublesome."

Conan: "Brother, you haven't answered my question just now!"

Echizen Ryuya stretched his waist, and calmly said something that didn't match his character: "I'm just afraid."

Conan: "... Huh?"

Does the word 'fear' have anything to do with Echizen Ryuya?

Mari Nishijima and Noji were not in a hurry, and the two walked slowly along the sidewalk - she was pressing the screen of her mobile phone, watching the tennis news.

Noji put both hands in his jacket pocket, sighed: "I don't know if they can rescue Hirakawa."

Mari Nishijima comforted him: "You have worked very hard, leave the next thing to God."

Hirakawa: "Tell me, what method can Echizen use to get into a place where the police can't forcibly search? It must be very dangerous, right?"

Nishijima Truth: "...the danger should not be there."

She can roughly guess what kind of place it is - the police cannot enter at will, and it will involve the social relations between the two countries and Japan's most troublesome country, but Echizen Ryuya can enter casually...of course it is from another country Sports training base.

The murderer is in a sports training base in another country. He is related to Heikawa Maki's sister who disappeared five years ago. He used to be a professional tennis player, but he was imprisoned for something. Now he is a tainted athlete who has been banned.

Before Maki Hirakawa disappeared, the person she had the closest contact with should be Luke, whom she frequently mentioned to Noji.If she has a good relationship with Luke, and she is also the manager of the tennis department, it would be very reasonable to be invited to visit the tennis training base of Luke's team...

"Nishijima? Nishijima!" Noji waved his hand in front of Nishijima Mari's eyes, dissatisfied, "Are you too easily distracted? I just asked you several times and you didn't respond."

Nishijima Mari came back to his senses: "...Sorry, what did you just ask me?"

Ye Zhi pointed to her mobile phone screen: "I see that you have been searching for news about tennis matches, have you already guessed who the murderer is?"

Mari Nishijima blinked: "I don't know, I checked the tennis news because I was watching something else."

Noji: "...Huh? What is it?"

Mari Nishijima put away her phone, her expression became a little more serious: "Noji-kun."

Noji: "Huh?"

Mari Nishijima: "With such strong curiosity, girls will dislike her."

"..."

A van suddenly turned out from the front corner, and rushed towards the wall of the sidewalk at an extremely fast speed.Mari Nishijima was taken aback, and immediately grabbed Noji and took two steps back to cling to the wall—the van almost braked against their chests, and both of them opened their eyes wide in fright.

The door on the other side was opened, and a tall and thin young man wearing a mask and cap got out of the car and blocked the narrow exit at the front of the car.

Noji was angry: "Uncle! How did you drive? How did you drive like..."

The man took out a revolver from his black jacket, and with the help of the van, he pressed his gun against Ye Zhi's chest and lowered his voice: "Get in the car one by one, don't play tricks on me."

The gun resting on his chest was extremely cold, and Noji shivered with fright, forgetting to speak.Mari Nishijima, who was standing next to him, also saw the gun—the moment the man finished speaking, the rear door of the van facing Mari Nishijima and them was opened horizontally, and he was sitting in the back fully armed, from head to toe People who were all wrapped up in black clothes waved to them.

"Come up, don't make a sound."

Mari Nishijima glanced at the gun, and obediently climbed into the car.After she climbed up, Ye Zhi was still standing there, as if she was frightened.

Mari Nishijima tugged at the corner of Noji's clothes: "Get in the car, that's the revolver, the chance of it getting stuck is less than the chance of you being choked to death in one breath right now."

Noji: "..."

The person who opened the door for them in the back seat was amused by this sentence - Mari Nishijima could clearly hear it, it was a young, female voice.
