Conan's other self

After the incident was resolved in advance and the turpentine in the flower beds was disposed of, the Sunflower Exhibition in Japan was successfully held.

The young detective team also enjoyed it.

The same goes for the Doctor and Ms. Fushae.

On this day, at the doctor's house, after talking on the phone with Ayumi, Fengyuan came to Haibara Ai who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Looking at the cat?" Hui Yuarai turned his head curiously, obviously interested in this.

"Yes, it's the stray cat that often goes to Poirot Cafe for food," Fengyuan said. "We've seen it before, don't you remember? It's the calico cat that scratched the thread out of your sweater. …”

"Ah, it's the captain." Haiyuan Ai suddenly realized.

That happened a few weeks ago.

That day, with Haibara Ai's permission, the doctor ordered a cake. Before waiting for the cake to arrive, everyone in the Junior Detective Team went to play football on a nearby children's field.

At that time——

"Walk!"

After receiving a pass from Haibara Ai, Maplehara accelerated and passed Conan, then took off with a flying kick.

"Ah!" Yuantai, who was guarding the goal on the opposite side, watched helplessly as the football slipped past his hands.

"That's great! Maple Plains! Haiyuan!" Mitsuhiko, who was guarding the gate here, shouted happily, "Now we're overtaking!"

There are exactly six people in the Junior Detective Team. They are divided into two teams to play a three-on-three game, and the goalkeeper takes turns.

"Then now..." Ayumi thought about the score.

"Seven to six." Hui Yuan Ai said.

"Then, this round is over!" Mitsuhiko said.

Because the stadium was small and there were two superb players, Maplehara and Conan, it was easy to score goals. They agreed that whoever scored seven goals first would win.

"It seems like we won this round."

"Damn it," Conan looked at Fengyuan depressedly, "You guys are cheating, right?"

Before playing football, Conan specifically told Maplehara alone that he was only allowed to play with the physical level of an elementary school student. So they still played back and forth, but unexpectedly they were defeated in the end.

"In that case, the score would be seven to one," Fengyuan replied, "Besides, I'm not that naive."

"It's all Conan's fault, he didn't pass the ball to us very often," Yuantai said dissatisfied, "It's because you played too uniquely that we were overtaken..."

"Don't be so serious," Conan defended, "Is this just a warm-up activity before the doctor's cake is delivered?"

Besides, I also want to have a head-on confrontation with Maplehara... You and Ayumi are no match for Maplehara.

Thinking in his mind, Conan looked at his watch again, "We probably have to play for another two hours."

So the next round of competition continues.

It was Maplehara and Conan's turn to be goalkeepers together, but after a few goals, they were tied again, so the previous duel resumed.

This time, I won't let you go through it again!

Conan stared closely at Kaedehara who was carrying the ball. Haibara Ainori, who was facing Ayumi on the other side, followed up and shouted to Kaedehara: "Hurry up and pass the ball, Kaedehara!"

"Coming -"

Damn Fengyuan, he actually didn't challenge himself.

Conan complained in his mind, and then he was surprised to find that Maplehara did not pass the ball, but suddenly stopped, then picked up the ball with his right foot, and then bumped the ball with his head a few times.

"Ah, foul!" Genta shouted loudly, "As agreed, Kaedehara, like Conan, you can only use your left foot!"

"Yes, yes..."

"I just used my right foot..."

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also agreed.

"And he also used his head," Conan said from the side, looking at Feng Yuan with dead fish eyes, "Then let's exchange the ball -"

"No," Fengyuan bounced the ball a few more times, then gestured towards Haibara Ai, "We have guests coming."

They looked over and found Hui Yuan Ai half-lying on the ground looking at a kitten facing her.

"Meow--"

Hui Yuan Ai happily looked at the cute cat in front of her.

She was a little surprised when Fengyuan didn't pass the ball to her just now, or even directly fouled her, but immediately she noticed this kitten that accidentally broke into the court and came to her feet.

"So cute!" Ayumi also came over.

"It turns out to be a cat."

"Isn't this Captain?"

"Conan, do you know this cat?" Genta asked.

"Yes, this is a stray cat who lives near the 5-chome where the Mori Detective Agency is located," Conan explained. "He is very close to Azusa from the Poirot Cafe downstairs, and he often goes there in the evening to get food. Because It often comes to Poirot…”

"And the famous detective Poirot has a good friend named Captain Hastings..." Maplehara took over.

"Well, so the store manager called him Captain."

"Oh...then I'll call him Shangzi!" Ayumi said happily.

"But is it really a stray cat?" Haihara Ai held the kitten in his arms. The kitten didn't resist at all, "It's still wearing a collar!"

"It must have been raised by someone, right?"

While he was talking, Mao Mao suddenly broke away from Hui Yuan Ai's arms and ran away as if he smelled or heard something.

Its paws still had threads from Haihara Ai's sweater.

"Ah, Haibara, your sweater... was scratched by the cat's claws and became untied."

Haibara Ai and Ayumi noticed the torn wool on the ground, and then saw Feng Yuan pulling the wool quickly with quick eyes and hands.

Wrapping the wool around his hand, Maplehara let the wool rub in his hand for a while before tightening it slightly. The thread carried by the kitten on the other side was straightened immediately, and then the thread fell off the cat's paw.

The kitten did not stop, but ran straight towards the road.

"Ah, ran away..."

"It would be terrible if I ran onto the road and was hit by a car!" Mitsuhiko said worriedly.

"Hurry up and chase!"

After Genta finished speaking, Conan and the real elementary school students hurried over. Because they still had to deal with the threads of the sweaters, Maplehara and Haibara Ai were temporarily one step behind.

"Really," Haiyuan Ai watched Feng Yuan retract the wool little by little, "What if I hurt that little guy?"

"It's not that fragile, and I just gradually increased the friction at first, and finally pulled it completely..." Fengyuan rolled the thread in his hand, "And your sweater is hand-knitted..."

"Yeah, I quite like this sweater..."

"What to do with these lines?" Fengyuan asked.

"Just hold it like this."

"Hey hey..."

"You're kidding." Haihara Ai said, "Don't you bring any scissors or blades?"

"I'm just here to play football, how could I bring something weird like that..." Fengyuan looked at the ground, "There are no sharp stones on this side of the field... Yes, raise your hands."

Haiyuan Ai was slightly startled, then watched Fengyuan move closer, and raised her hands obediently, letting Fengyuan lower his head and wrap the wool around her waist several times.

"That's it." Fengyuan tied a knot in the wool.

"Pervert." Hui Yuan Ai said softly, blushing a little, and then subconsciously looked for the location of the primary school students, "Where are they?"

"Let's go find the cat on the road..."

The two walked out of the stadium together, and then looked around, but did not see Conan and the others.

"Strange, missing..."

"It's only been a while, where are you going?"

There were no high-rise apartment buildings near the street, so Conan and the others might have followed the cat into a nearby store, but Maplehara and Haibara Ai couldn't see Conan and the others from here.

"I didn't bring my tracking glasses either..." Fengyuan said. After all, he was just here to play football, and he didn't feel the need to wear glasses. "Their badges are also in my schoolbag..."

Walking back to the stadium, Maplehara glanced at the schoolbag and the skateboard Conan had brought, "As for the cell phone..."

"Edogawa's mobile phone is charged at the doctor's house..." Haibara Ai also glanced at Maplehara's bag. In order to facilitate playing football, they put all the temporarily removed things in the bag that Maplehara brought. , "Well, Kojima and Yoshida's mobile phones are also in the bag..."

"As for Mitsuhiko..." Fengyuan took out his mobile phone and called, then blinked helplessly, "The battery is probably out of power."

"...Really," Haiyuan Ai crossed his arms and felt dissatisfied, "Let me tell you, has this kind of scene happened once before?"

The current situation is exactly the same as when Conan and the real elementary school students were locked in a cabin when they went camping last time. They happened to have no way to communicate.

"I hope I didn't encounter any danger this time..." Fengyuan couldn't help but sigh, "Let's go find them."

"How are we going to find it this time?" Hui Yuan Ai asked curiously.

"When they ran out, although I didn't listen carefully, I still vaguely heard them mentioning the car," Fengyuan said. "I think they probably followed the cat and ran into a certain car..."

"Eh?"

"In this case, it should be a truck...a courier truck or a delivery vehicle..."

For example, the cake ordered by the doctor was delivered through TA-Q-BIN, so it is easy to think of it.

So Maplehara and Haibara Ai asked the clerk in the nearby store, and soon learned that a TA-Q-BIN refrigerated truck drove over while they were playing football, and then left just now.

In that direction...

Maplehara returned to the court and picked up Conan's skateboard.

"Fortunately, Conan brought his skateboard here," Maplehara stepped on Conan's skateboard and invited Haibara Ai, "Would you like to come together?"

Huihara Ai did not refuse.

She followed suit and stepped on the skateboard, then clutched Maplehara's coat tightly. However, the solar skateboard made by the doctor was very powerful, and she hugged Fengyuan tightly after starting it.

Soon, they found the cat on the road. There was a piece of paper in the cat's mouth with Conan's code on it.

The code refers to a dead body in the car.

It was because of this, and the fact that Conan's anesthesia needle, watch and shoes were all dead, that they had no choice but to hide in the freezer truck.

Soon, the TA-Q-BIN refrigerated truck that stopped to deliver goods appeared in front of the two of them.

Feng Yuan stopped the skateboard, and Haibara Ai released the hand tightly around Feng Yuan's waist, stepped off the skateboard, and then noticed that Feng Yuan directly opened the foot strength-enhancing shoes.

…

Time returns to the present.

"Ah, it's the captain."

"It's not a captain, it's a captain." Fengyuan corrected.

"Eh?" Hui Yuan Ai was stunned for a moment.

"Probably he got promoted... How about it? Do you want to go together?" Maplehara said, "Although Bourbon should be in Poirot now, as I told you before, he is probably from the Japanese police... "

"But it's not confirmed yet, is it?" Haiyuan Ai thought for a moment and shook his head, "I won't go."

Maple wanted to take a closer look at bourbon, so he accepted the invitation from Ayumi and others and went to Poirot Cafe with them.

When they came to the door, they happened to meet Miss Azusa Enomoto going out. She and Toru Amuro were both waiters at Poirot Cafe.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Genta took the magazine that Ms. Azusa Enomoto handed over to her in a show-off manner, "Poirot is really in the magazine!"

"That's right! Although the person who came to interview before said that it would be published, I didn't expect that it would use such a large page!" Ms. Azusa Enomoto said with a smile.

"There is also a photo of Sister Azusa!" Mitsuhiko pointed to the text in the magazine, "Look, here! It says [Captain the calico cat who is a regular customer of this store, and the beautiful clerk Miss Azusa]."

"Really! I'm holding the captain in my arms!"

"Really," Ms. Azusa Enomoto held her face in her hands with some embarrassment, "You actually said she was a beauty. That's too much praise!"

"Oh, isn't that great!"

"Sister Azi is very photogenic!"

"Such reports are generally exaggerated." Conan said ruthlessly.

"Yes, yes..." Ms. Azusa Enomoto said with bewildered eyes.

"You really can talk..." Feng Yuan glanced at Conan speechlessly.

Then he noticed Toruya Amuro walking out of the store and standing next to Miss Azusa Enomoto.

"Why isn't Brother Amuro up there?" Genta asked Toru Amuro.

"Ah, I happened to be feeling unwell that day, so I asked for leave."

"What a pity!"

"He's obviously a handsome guy..." Ayumi said regretfully.

"That's right!" Ms. Azusa Enomoto looked at Toru Amuro, "If your photo, Amuro, was also posted on it, the store would be crowded with girls by now."

"Stop laughing at me." Toru Amuro said with a smile.

However, it was obviously a deliberate leave. Maplehara thought.

After all, whether the other party is a black organization or a police undercover agent, he cannot easily show his face in a food magazine.

"Speaking of which, are you missing someone?"

"Haihara has something to do and she can't come," Fengyuan replied, "But how did Brother Amuro know?"

"How many people are there in the famous Young Detective Team? Of course I have heard of it..."

"Really?"

"After all, it's us!"

"By the way, Captain has become my cat since last week!" Miss Azusa Enomoto said happily.

"ah--"

"Is this okay?"

"Although Captain is a wild cat, he wears a collar, which means he has an owner!"

"But..." Azusa Enomoto explained, "It seemed to have had a fight with a nearby cat a few days ago and was covered in bruises, so I was very worried. And its photos were published in magazines! If its owner really wants to Look for it, and you should come to your door whenever you see that report.”

"But but...you are too cunning to monopolize the captain!"

"That's right. How could the owner find it based on such a small photo?"

"If you post it online, it might be possible." Mitsuhiko thought for a moment.

"You usually think so." Miss Azusa Enomoto squatted down and waved her fingers proudly at the primary school students, "But what you didn't expect is-"

"Excuse me," a man wearing a hat came over, "is this the store called Poirot mentioned in the magazine?"

"Ah, yes!" Miss Azusa Enomoto quickly stood up and replied.

"Is that the person written in the report you? There is also a wild cat that comes to eat at dusk, and a photo is attached."

"That's right."

"Actually, that's just my cat! I started looking for it half a year ago."

"ah?"

"Hey, what are you talking about!" At this time, another uncle wearing glasses came over, "That is obviously my cat! Please don't talk nonsense!"

The cat's owner really came over, and two of them appeared at once. In fact, there are not just two, there is one in the store.

They then walked into the store and planned to ask.

"How do you feel?" Conan deliberately took a step behind and asked Fengyuan in a low voice.

He was obviously asking about Toru Amuro.

"Nothing special..." Fengyuan thought for a moment, "But it's still a bit strange. He seems to have no idea about the bug last time... Or maybe he's very good at pretending..."

Belmod discovered the bug on the day of the shrine, so Belmod already knew that they knew that Toru Amuro was a member of the organization.

"Yeah...and I thought about it carefully later. Whether it was the morning sickness or the person he pretended to be completely unaware of when taking the transcript, they are all obvious loopholes," Conan said. "It always feels like they did it deliberately. Exposed, I want to see our reaction..."

Although they think so, Mr. Subaru doesn't have the final investigation results yet, so they can only do this for now.

It seemed a little strange to stay outside for too long, so Maplehara and Conan stopped whispering and walked into the store.

The first person to arrive at Café Poirot and claim to be the Captain’s owner was an old lady.

The three men each held their own opinions.

After a while, Toru Amuro suggested that Miss Enomoto Azusa go home and bring the captain over, and they took advantage of this time to ask the famous detective Mouri Kogoro to find the captain's real owner.
