Kudo Yusaku arranged the missing person notices by time, eliminated the lost old people, excluded those who were far away, and then eliminated a few that had been found. Among the remaining missing person notices, one missing person notice caught Yusaku's attention.

Yuzuo's eyes darkened. The place of disappearance was nearby, and the missing person was also a young man. This was really not good news.

"Husband, what's wrong? You seem to be very concerned about that child." Yukiko came back from cleaning the bathroom and saw Yusaku looking at an old newspaper, and his expression was not good.

Yusaku put away the other old newspapers, leaving the old newspaper behind, and replied to Yukiko: "Well, after all, they are our neighbors, so it's normal to know more about them. The children should go to bed."

Yukiko thought for a while and said, "We all fell asleep. But Mingyue's life experience is really pitiful. Her parents passed away, and her brother and grandfather are not around. It's really pitiful. Yusaku, why don't we also have a girl? Mingyue really so cute."

"Eh?!" Although Yusaku is used to Yukiko's out-of-the-box personality, he still gets shocked sometimes.

The wind picked up at night, and cotton-like clouds drifted over the moon, one after another. The dark night was mottled by the clouds, and the stars hid behind the clouds.

Mingyue closed the curtains and took off the pupils that blocked her purple eyes. She recalled Ruide's shocked and incredible reaction when he learned that she was marginalized by the action team, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

One day after that, Ruide asked Mingyue to come out, and he gave the pupil to Mingyue, and said seriously: "Your eyes are too eye-catching, so please cover them up! With new technology, even if you It won't fall out even if you cry, but you should rub your eyes less and remember to take them off when you sleep. With your eyes closed, the pupil will move easily, so it won't be good if it's not covered."

Mingyue put away her pupils, and after this incident was over, she was going to thank Ruide. After all, Ginjiu also said that organ sellers were attracted to these purple gem eyes.

Recalling what happened today, Mingyue rubbed her temples. Today is really an unlucky day.

The wind finally blew away all the clouds, the moon hung in the sky, the morning star shone in the night sky, and someone in Base 18 slowly opened his confused eyes.

Mingyue held her cell phone in bed and looked at the messages on her cell phone, but she thought about what Gin was doing now.

At midnight, Gin's text message arrived as expected: "Where? Who are you with? - Gin"

"It's Kudo's house at 2-chome, Yoneka-cho. There are Kudo and his wife and their son in the house. I'm the only one in the room right now. ——Mingzuki."

"Involved in the incident. If there is a problem with the safe house, don't stay there. It's okay to just run back to the base. ——Gin"

Mingyue looked at the text message sent by Ginjiu, and the corners of her mouth curled up nicely. She wants me to go back now, but I haven't had enough fun~

Although there is a risk of being exposed, there should be no problem if you pay attention.

His fingers tapped on the keys on his phone, and a text message was quickly edited.

"It's okay to go back directly, but if I don't want to go back now, something interesting happens. For example, the body that died in the car is actually very problematic. - Monáe Mingyue"

"Did those people do it? - Gin"

"It's hard to be sure. It's not clear at the moment. However, there have been changes in the United States recently. Please pay attention. - Monáe Mingyue"

If it was those people who did it, then it would be a good choice to get rid of those people with the help of others, even if it takes a little risk. Mingyue threw her phone aside and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, which was gray and not very clear.

Just when Mingyue thought that Ginjiu wouldn't send a message, a text message suddenly came over.

"No contact in the short term. Be careful not to be exposed. Return to base when you have time. - Gin"

"OK, Gin. - Monáe Mingyue"

The fire flickered in the dark alley. Gin held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the busy figures of the policemen and the bright headlights in the distance. He slowly blew out a smoke ring and turned around to walk into the depths of darkness.

Mingyue moved her eyes away from the gap in the curtains, closed the curtains, lay on the unfamiliar bed, and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. Suddenly my phone received a new text message.

"Someone from the CIA has come to Japan, please pay attention. -Rum"

After Mingyue replied "received", she threw the phone aside again, raised the corners of her mouth, thinking that this matter was getting more and more interesting.

It was late at night, and the sound of insects came in from the window, stopping and continuing, rising and falling. Some people are still busy, and some people are already sleeping.

When the early morning sun shines in through the cracks in the curtains, Mingyue has already put on her eyeglasses. When the curtains were opened, the busy figures seemed to be reduced. The burned car was no longer visible. It was probably towed away overnight.

After Ming Yue washed up and went downstairs, Yukiko had already started making breakfast.

"Aunt Yukiko, do you want to help?" Mingyue asked standing at the door of the kitchen.

Yukiko looked at Mingyue standing at the door and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to get up so early, Mingyue. Breakfast is almost ready. You can eat it in a moment."

Mingyue raised her head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It was half past eight. It was late. Toru Amuro was the guy who could deliver milk when the sky was still gray. Thinking that at that time, she would often be told by Midorikawa Yui to sleep in, she felt a little confused.

"I often sleep in," Mingyue said.

"Are you not used to sleeping last night?" Yukiko looked at Mingyue and asked.

Mingyue quickly replied: "No, I slept well last night."

"If there's anything you're not used to, tell Auntie. Shinichi usually doesn't get up until around eleven o'clock. It's really..."

"Mom!" Shinichi suddenly appeared and interrupted Yukiko's words.

Mingyue turned around and saw Kudo Shinichi, but was shocked by Shinichi's current appearance.

Kudo Shinichi appeared behind Ming Yue with two huge dark circles under his eyes. He didn't need to think about it to know that he didn't sleep well last night.

Shinichi saw that Mingyue seemed to be frightened by his current appearance. He raised his eyebrows, grinned, stuck out his tongue, and made a face.

Monáe Mingyue hid behind Yukiko and stuck her head out to look at Kudo Shinichi.

Shinichi made a face, walked towards Ming Yue, and then received a few blows from Yukiko. His voice was very clear, and he was a good head.

Yusaku, who was reading the newspaper, heard the sound and looked up at everyone in the kitchen. When he saw Shinichi's dark circles under his eyes, he was also stunned, then pursed his lips and continued reading the newspaper.

Shinichi held his head and looked up at Yukiko, his eyes full of complaints.

When Yukiko saw the dark circles under Shinichi's eyes, all her original anger dissipated, and the corners of her mouth began to rise involuntarily. Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer: "Xiaoxin, you...hahahaha..."

"Mom..." Xin Banyue looked at Yukiko with helplessness in her eyes, and she was even more helpless as she rubbed her sore head. Why is it always me who gets hurt? The culprit is still covering his mouth and laughing behind my mother.

Kudo Shinichi was angry and helpless, and said: "It's not Mingyue's question. I thought about it all night and didn't come up with it."

Mingyue poked her head out from behind Yukiko and said with a smile: "You have to try to think from that wife's perspective, what is her purpose and why did she do this?"

"There are too many things I can think of, and my mind is a mess now." Shinichi grabbed his hair, feeling a little irritated.

Yukiko put the breakfast on the plate and said, "Let's have breakfast first."

"Well, I'm hungry and can't think of anything." Kudo Shinichi took the breakfast plate.

The three of them went to the restaurant together and started a new day with a hearty breakfast. After breakfast, Mingyue helped Yukiko clean up. The more Yukiko looked at Mingyue, the more she liked her, so she said: "Such a lovely girl, how nice it would be if she were my daughter~ Mingyue, you live alone anyway, how about living with us?"

The three beanie eyes looked at Yukiko.

Mingyue said, "That's not good. I'm already embarrassed to come here to stay." What she was thinking about was that there were so many things we couldn't do while living together. I just came out from undercover. Could it be that I just came out of the wolf's den? Going into the tiger's den again?

"Yukiko, you still have to respect your child's choice." Kudo Yusaku said.

Yukiko said slightly discouraged: "Okay."

"Aunt Yukiko, I live very close next door. I can see her every day."

"That's right." Yukiko nodded.

Kudo Shinichi folded his hands behind his head, looked out the window, and said, "Actually, I don't object to you living here."

Mingyue Banyue looked at Kudo Shinichi and said seriously: "We are neighbors, okay."

Kudo Shinichi silently picked up the newspaper on the table and read it. What caught his eye was the missing person notice posted yesterday by the aunt who called herself Eguchi Saori. Kudo Shinichi frowned.

"Eguchi Dahe, male, 14 years old, disappeared the day before yesterday afternoon. He was wearing a blue sportswear and football shoes when he disappeared. The cause of his disappearance is unknown. We hope anyone with information can contact Eguchi Saori."

Kudo Shinichi looked at the photo on the missing person notice and always felt like he had seen this person before. Where had he seen him? Kudo Shinichi started to look through the old newspapers, and sure enough, there was a missing person notice in the top one of the old newspapers.

This newspaper was from fifteen days ago. The boy on the missing person notice disappeared seventeen days ago. He is also fourteen years old and his current whereabouts are unknown. The two boys look somewhat similar.

"Mingyue, under what circumstances do you think the missing person could not be found by the police?" Kudo Shinichi asked Mingyue while looking at the newspaper.

Mingyue wiped the water off her hands and said, "It depends on the condition of the missing person. Generally speaking, if the missing person is alive, then there must be a hiding place, whether he hides it by himself or Hidden by others. However, in this case, the police can still find traces. But if the missing person is dead, it will be more difficult to find."

"Why do you say that?" Kudo Shinichi continued to ask.

"The reason is very simple. You need to eat, drink, and defecate while you are alive. Whether the missing person prepares it by himself or others help prepare it, there will be more or less traces left, and he can always be found. But if he can't be found, , then he may be dead, after all, the body does not need to eat or drink."

Kudo Shinichi frowned and said, "Mingyue, do you think the reason why it has never been found is that the missing person is dead?"

Mingyue came over and saw the newspaper in front of Kudo Shinichi, and Yusaku also looked at Mingyue.

"It is more likely that he is dead, unless it is organized and premeditated like the previous case of missing girls." Mingyue felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by two men. I didn't do this, and I haven't investigated it myself. It’s so clear!

Crime is too frequent here in Mika Town!

"Why don't you think it's the same as the previous case of a missing girl? She was just arrested..." Kudo Shinichi thought of the organ trade that his father had mentioned before. Not even one missing girl out of ten found by the police...

"Intuition. After all, the probability of being alive is not high." Mingyue looked at the missing person notice in the newspaper and fell into deep thought.

After all, that group of people don't dare to commit crimes now.

Mingyue remembered that there were several trading lines in the information left to the police. Those trading lines were grasped by the police and some people were arrested. Although they did not arrest a few heavyweights, they did not find the big boss behind it through the hands of the police. information, but it also suppressed them and made them disappear.

And Rum will not let go of those people. Rum will not be merciful when it comes to certain things.

"The missing places are all in Miwa Town. The boy who was reported in the newspaper fifteen days ago is the boy who was reported in the newspaper today." Shinichi pointed to the photo in the newspaper and said.

Mingyue looked at the photos carefully and said, "The two missing people look like brothers in the photos."

"It's a bit similar." Kudo Shinichi said.

Mingyue placed the photo in the newspaper next to Kudo Shinichi's face, compared it carefully and said, "Kudo-kun, he looks a bit like you~"

Kudo Yusaku calmly picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, continuing to listen to the conversation between the two children.

"Where does it look like?" Kudo Shinichi took the newspaper and looked at the photos in the newspaper seriously, and cursed in his heart: It looks like there, I am obviously more handsome.

"At first glance, they are somewhat similar." Mingyue explained seriously.

Kudo Shinichi said dissatisfied: "Mingyue, you used to stay in Europe. When you first came to Japan, did you feel that Japanese people are all similar? It's like Japanese people think that foreigners look alike."

“Maybe people who are familiar with you look at this photo and feel that you and the person in the photo are completely different people, but people who are unfamiliar with you look at this photo and feel that it looks like you. Although there are differences, it’s just based on the photo and appearance. They look very similar. Moreover, they are in similar locations and the missing people are of similar age, so the crime may be committed against people who look similar." Mingyue analyzed carefully.

And the young man named Da He yesterday was probably in danger, Ming Yue thought.

After hearing what Ming Yue said, Kudo Shinichi felt a little nervous and a little excited. He swallowed his saliva and said slightly excitedly: "Ming Yue, you mean that these disappearances may be caused by one person or a group of people? Is this possible? It’s a big clue!”

Seeing Kudo Shinichi like this, Mingyue couldn't help but remind him: "This is just my guess. After all, there is no evidence. I can only say that Kudo-kun, you have been more careful recently~"

"No way." Kudo Shinichi felt that this was impossible to happen.

"Let me take a look." Yukiko, who was also listening to the conversation between the two children, came over and looked at the photos in the two newspapers, and then at Shinichi. She felt that there was a slight resemblance. She frowned slightly and looked towards Kudo Yusaku, "Husband..."

"Well, I don't rule out this possibility. Pay attention to the people who are close to you recently, Shinichi." Yusaku looked at Shinichi.

"I'm getting excited. If this is really the case, I must arrest the criminal." Kudo Shinichi was full of confidence, clenching his right fist, as if if the criminal was in front of him, he could knock him down with one punch. And the arrest was successful.

Kudo Yusaku sighed and smiled helplessly.

Mingyue remembered the way Green looked at Kudo Shinichi, and said half-jokingly: "Mr. Detective, you should listen to Uncle Yuzu and pay more attention. If the criminal targets a boy similar to the photo, you might It’s the criminal’s next target~”

"Really? I'm excited!" Kudo Shin's eyes were full of passion.

Seeing Shinichi like this, Mingyue sighed helplessly and said, "What if the other party is an adult and powerful?"

"Mingyue, you are just guessing. Besides, when the time comes, I have a way!"

Shinichi smiled confidently, but Mingyue wanted to say nothing more.

Mr. Detective, sooner or later you're going to hurt yourself.

However, the doorbell was suddenly rang at this time, and Mingyue looked at the door nervously...
