Chapter 146 Worry
"What? An old man is missing?" Mori Kogoro asked inarticulately, drunk.

"Yeah, on the way back from the bus ride with Sonoko, an old man sat next to me. We chatted for a while, and I promised him that I would remind him to get off the bus when the bus reached Muromachi Hospital Station."

"But I didn't expect that I was so sleepy that I fell asleep, and it was Yuanzi who woke me up in the end."

"After I woke up, the old man was gone, and then I ran to ask the driver if he had ever seen an old man with a hat and an umbrella, but he couldn't remember."

"After that, I took Sonoko to a taxi and went to Muromachi Hospital. The nurse there also said that there is no record of an old man named Shigekichi Shitara ever seeing a doctor or visiting anyone."

"I think you are dreaming, and what are you so worried about an old man you met on the road?" Mori Kogoro waved his hand impatiently.

"However, the old man said that he has something to ask Dad, and he is so old, I just don't feel at ease." Mao Lilan said with a frown.

While talking, she turned and went to the kitchen, brought the prepared dishes, and put them in front of Mori Kogoro and Conan.

"Father, tell me, do you want to ask Police Officer Mumu to help find this old man?"

After talking about it, Mao Lilan felt that she was thinking too much. How could Officer Mumu care about such a mindless matter.

"Probably won't help..."

"It goes without saying." Mori Kogoro drank more than half of his glass of beer, and put the glass on the table.

"Am I really dreaming?" Mao Lilan knelt down at the table, put her hands on her thighs, and said to herself discouragedly.

"Ok?"

Conan originally just listened quietly, but suddenly his eyes glanced at the bag that Mao Lilan just bought today.

The bag lay open on the ground, revealing a black disk inside.

He reached out and took the disk, turned to Mao Lilan and asked, "What is this for?"

Mao Lilan was taken aback for a moment, then took a look.

"What is this? I don't remember buying this thing today."

"Maybe it belongs to that old man."

"But, why are you here with me?" Mao Lilan looked puzzled.

……

Dr. A Li's house.

"Hmm... I can't open it. If there is no password, it won't work." Dr. A Li sat in front of the computer and said with his chin in his hand, while handing the disk back to Conan.

Conan took it and looked at the "Confidential, no taking out" sticker on the disk, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Doctor, can you try to find some password and call up the content?"

"It will take a lot of time." Dr. A Li stroked his little hair and said distressedly, "Are you in a hurry to use it?"

"Dr. Li, I'm going to find Yuanzi with Conan, and then we'll go and ask about the route of that bus during the day, so we might know something." Mao Lilan said.

"So, if we don't get much useful information from our side, we can only rely on you, Doctor." Conan added.

"Okay, I understand, as long as I crack the password of this disk, I will notify you immediately."

Seeing that Dr. Ali agreed, Mao Lilan and Conan left for Suzuki's house.

……

"Ah, that's it, okay, thank you very much." Mao Lilan hung up the phone, looked up and said to the depressed Suzuki Sonoko, "No problem, I contacted the bus station, and they said that the bus Still open."

"Well, let's go now." Conan said immediately.

"Stop." Suzuki Sonoko stretched out his hand to stop the two, "Why do you have to take me with you?"

"Because Conan said that it is better to have you with me than me alone, so that I can add a little bit of vague memory." Mao Lilan said very honestly.

Suzuki Sonoko stared at Conan viciously when he heard the words, reached out and grabbed his two big ears and pulled them to the sides.

"I knew you were playing tricks."

"Please, Sonoko, just help me." Mao Lilan clasped his hands together and begged Suzuki Sonoko.

"Ah... I just finished taking a shower and I want to go out again." Suzuki Sonoko said with a sullen face.

Although she was reluctant, since it was her best friend's request, there was nothing she could do, so she got up and prepared to go out.

"Ah, by the way, let's call Brother Shang Shuiquan together." Conan's EQ suddenly went online, and it seems that he should call Shang Gu Shuiquan at this time.

"That's right, brother Shuiquan is also very good at reasoning, and he will feel more at ease with him." Mao Lilan echoed.

"Not yet, he is also very tired today, let him rest, just the three of us go." Suzuki Sonoko shook his head and refused.

In fact, in addition to the reasons she said, the little trick she did secretly before was also a reason. Taking advantage of Baogu Shuiquan that day, she stuffed the changed socks into his pocket.

But as soon as she went out, she regretted it a little. She felt that she did it like... a bit perverted. How did she do such a shameful thing...

So last night Mao Lilan called to ask her to go shopping, and she agreed without saying a word, in order to avoid being alone with Gu Shuiquan.

But today at Poirot Cafe, before departure, Gu Shuiquan's meaningful eyes also made her feel timid.

After Suzuki Sonoko packed up briefly, he followed the two out.

In the taxi, Conan gently rubbed his two red and swollen earlobes, wanting to cry without tears.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the rearview mirror in front of him, and it seemed that there was a car behind him following the taxi he was waiting for.

He stood up and looked through the rear window, but found nothing... He had no choice but to go back and sit down amidst Mao Lilan's lecture.

The three quickly found the driver of the bus during the day, but were told that the bus was being repaired at the bus station because of a problem.

Although he still didn't find out about the old man during the day, he unexpectedly learned that someone had asked where Mao Lilan got off at.

This made Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan shudder.

When asked what that person looked like, the driver recalled that it was a person wearing a coat and sunglasses.

When Mao Lilan heard it, she immediately thought of the strange man who got in the car with the old man that she noticed when she met the old man.

The worried Mao Lilan was a little panicked. When Conan saw this, he pulled her, called Suzuki Sonoko, and went to the bus station together.

……

Hui Yuanai, who had just taken a shower, had a towel around his neck, and heard Dr. Ali's childlike cheers coming from the basement.

So she went down to check, and saw Dr. A Li sitting in front of the computer with a complacent look, and asked strangely: "Doctor, it's so late, what are you doing?"

"Ah, it's Xiao Ai. I just helped Conan crack the password of a disk."

"Did you encounter another case? He really can attract cases." Hui Yuanai joked casually.

"It doesn't seem to be his fault this time. It was Xiaolan and Yuanzi who met on the bus." Dr. A Li then told Hui Yuanai the whole story.

"So, Conan took Xiaolan to Yuanzi's house, and then took the two of them to handle the case?" Hui Yuanai was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked.

"It's probably like this... what's wrong?" Dr. A Li asked strangely seeing that Hui Yuanai's expression was not right.

"Does Brother Shuiquan know about this?"

"Uh... I don't know too well... How about I call Conan and ask? He has a portable mobile phone I made."

"No need, I'll call Brother Shuiquan directly." Hui Yuanai shook his head.

 I have not been able to grasp the part of the case introduction very well. I am afraid that you will feel that the writing is too detailed, and the writing is too brief, which seems to be a bit rushed.

  If you don't write it, readers who don't remember the plot will be confused again, which is a bit difficult...
