Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

The sweet-looking woman knocked on the door of the Maori Detective Agency again, but no one opened the door this time. She frowned slightly, looked at the business card in her hand, looked around, and thought: This is the right place, could it be that Mr. Maori is not here?

Just as the woman was about to turn around and leave, she saw Kogoro Mouri, with a slicked-back hair and a small mustache, appear on the stairs.

"Mr. Maori!" the sweet-looking woman shouted excitedly.

Maori Kogoro was slightly stunned, and it only took him a second to tidy up his clothes. He cleared his throat and asked in a low and magnetic voice: "My beautiful lady, are you here to see me?"

"Of course, I knocked on the door for a long time and thought you were not there!" The sweet-looking woman's voice was mixed with excitement.

However, Maori Kogoro was shocked, "No one opened the door?!"

After that, Maori Kogoro quickly came to the door and turned the door handle. The door was locked, but there were several fresh scratches on the keyhole. Someone broke in? !

Maori Kogoro took out the key from his pocket and said to the sweet-looking woman behind him, "Please wait for me at the door of the Poirot Coffee Shop downstairs."

The sweet-looking girl was frightened by Kogoro Mouri's fearless look. She swallowed unconsciously, nodded, and walked downstairs tremblingly.

Kogoro Mouri frowned. He had just returned from the Metropolitan Police Department. The arrested Ruoha Hoshinoya refused to admit that she had hurt Xiaolan, and Megure Juzo clearly told him that Ruoha Hoshinoya had never been to the villa on the cliff from beginning to end. This meant that there was someone else who hurt Xiaolan. Could it be that this criminal had already sneaked into the office?

The office is not safe anymore.

Click.

As the key turned, the lock opened.

Kogoro Mouri pushed open the door and scanned the room with wide eyes, afraid of missing anything.

There was no one in the reception area, and no one near his desk. Maori Kogoro slipped into the room and pushed open the door of the bathroom. No one was inside. He pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the room, but he could only hear the ticking of the wall clock.

Where are Xiaolan and Eri?

A feeling of uneasiness struck Kogoro Mori's heart, and fear swept through his whole body.

No, they... No! I can't think like that, I can't think like that! Maori Kogoro warned himself in his heart, but the empty room was terribly quiet.

They might be upstairs.

Kogoro Maori ran upstairs.

No, if they were upstairs, they would definitely hear the knocking on the door downstairs!

Maori Kogoro inserted the key into the lock and quickly pushed the door open. The living room was empty and the TV was off. He reached out and pushed open Xiaolan's bedroom door. No one was inside. He opened his own bedroom door, and it was still empty.

Kogoro Mouri felt a chill on his spine. He took out his cell phone and quickly called Xiaolan, but found that the phone was ringing in Xiaolan's bedroom.

Following the sound, Kogoro Mouri found Xiaolan's cell phone in the drawer of the bedside table, and the missed call was coincidentally the one he had just made.

"Eri!" Kogoro Mouri quickly dialed Eri Kisaki's cell phone.

After a long time, Kogoro Mori heard a familiar voice.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."

After pressing the hang-up button, Maori Kogoro clearly heard the clock downstairs and his own rapid breathing, "Xiaolan! Eri!"

After forcing himself to calm down, Kogoro Mouri quickly ran to the first floor, hoping for a lucky break, "What if Eri and Ran are in the Poirot Café?" Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself, as if this could calm himself down.

The sweet-looking woman saw Maori Kogoro rushing down from upstairs panting, and asked anxiously: "Mr. Maori, what happened?"

"Sorry, I'll explain to you later." Kogoro Mouri rushed into the Poirot Café and scared Azusa Enomoto.

Kogoro Mouri's eyes swept over everyone in the coffee shop.

There's no Xiaolan! There's no Eri either! Where did they go?!

Maori Kogoro was extremely worried. There really were other criminals hiding in that villa. Xiaolan must have discovered the other party's secret. Eri...

"Mr. Mori, what happened?" Enomoto Azusa looked at Kogoro Mori, whose eyes were bloodshot.

"Have you seen Xiaolan and the others?"

Enomoto Azusa thought for a moment and shook his head. "After the snow melted, there were more customers, so I didn't pay attention to the outside." Enomoto Azusa looked out the window and saw the sweet-looking woman. "But the lady standing at the door now seems to have been here for a while."

Kogoro Mori turned around and rushed out of the Poirot Café, looking around.

The snow on the road had been cleared, and vehicles of all kinds were coming and going. There were people coming and going on the street, students going home from school, white-collar workers just off work, and elderly people pushing baby strollers.

Everything seems to be the same as usual.

"Mr. Maori?" The sweet-looking woman's voice was very light and soft, like a feather gently scratching the heart.

However, Kogoro Mouri looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and with trembling hands prepared to call Megure Juzo.

The street lights lit up one by one, and the dim lights illuminated the dark road.
