Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

Chapter 42 Professor Hirota

Just when Shiina Yuichi was about to take a break, he heard a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw a man, one big and one small, standing at the door.

"Amei-sister, Shiho." Shiina Yuichi asked, "What happened?"

"Shiho remembered something." Miyano Akemi said.

"What's the matter?" Shiina Yuichi squatted down and looked into Haibara Ai's eyes and asked.

"A few years ago, my sister sent me some disks with travel photos, and I sent them back soon after I read them."

"Afterwards, when I was looking for the drug information, I found that the disk storing the drug information was missing."

"I didn't take it seriously at the time because drug research at the time no longer required that information."

"but now……"

"Now if you study APTX4869 again, this information will be useful, right?" Shiina Yuichi understood what she meant.

Well, that is really good news.

"Then Sister Mingmei, do you still remember those disks?" Shiina Yuu asked as he stood up.

"Well, I put those disks at the home of a professor who was traveling with me at the time." Miyano Akemi nodded.

"That's good, it's not where you live." Shiina Yuichi breathed a sigh of relief, "The room you lived in before has been vacated by the organization, and now I think there shouldn't be anything left."

"In that case, Sister Mingmei, do you have the contact information of that professor?"

"Yes." Miyano Akemi nodded, "Do you need me to call him?"

"No, you can't fight." Shiina Yuichi stopped him.

"You are now a ghost that does not exist in this world. If you make a phone call rashly, it might attract the attention of the organization."

"You also know that the organization will try its best to erase your traces, so the professor is very likely also within the scope of the organization's investigation."

Shiina Yuichi thought quickly, his brain working rapidly.

"Give me the contact information and I'll call this professor."

Miyano Akemi also thought he was right, and then gave the contact information to Shiina Yuichi.

"By the way, you can't go either." Shiina Yuichi touched Huihara Ai's head and said, "The organization is watching you very closely now, so show up less."

Under Shiina Yuichi's serious gaze, Haibara Ai nodded. She wanted to confirm the information on the disk on the spot, but she also understood that it would be best to let Shiina Yuichi do this.

Even if the organization later discovered that Yuichi Shiina was investigating this matter, he could be said to be investigating the Miyano sisters.

Yuichi Shiina dialed the number given to him by Akemi Miyano and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello? Who is it?"

The voice on the other end was a little hoarse.

"Hello, is this Professor Hirota? My name is Conan, and I'm Akemi's friend." Shiina Yuichi rudely used the pseudonym of a great detective.

Miyano Akemi: ...Yuichi, you seem a little naughty.

Huihara Ai: ...Is this guy really reliable?

"Ah, it's Mingmei's friend, what's going on?"

"Well, Mingmei put the photos of your travels together in your house before." Shiina Yuichi said straight to the point.

"Yeah, that's true. Most of the disks were returned to the friends I traveled with, but there was one strange disk."

Professor Hirota on the other end of the phone spoke.

Upon hearing this, Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai showed joy on their faces.

That's right, it's this disk.

"I don't know, is it convenient for me to go get this disk now?" Shiina Yuichi asked politely.

"Sure, there will be two or three people coming to see me later, and everything will probably be fine by then." Professor Hirota said with a smile.

Shiina Yuichi glanced at the time and then spoke.

"Okay then. I'll be there around ten."

After hanging up the phone, the two sisters had excited expressions on their faces.

Shiina Yuichi changed into black clothes, gave the two sisters some instructions, took the car keys and went out.

According to the address given by Akemi Miyano, Professor Hirota lives in Shizuoka.

The place is quite far away.

Before leaving, Miyano Akemi asked Shiina Yuichi to be more polite, after all, it was Professor Hirota who had taken care of her since her parents' accident.

She was also given a fake name, Hirota Masami, to live with.

In response to this, Yuichi Shiina naturally agreed.

Two hours later, Yuichi Shiina received a speeding ticket.

The person who issued the ticket was his old friend, Yumi Miyamoto.

But at least we got there.

Hirota Residence.

Shiina Yuichi knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a plump middle-aged woman.

"It's Mr. Conan, right?" Hirota Toshiko said kindly, "I've already heard what my husband said."

"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night." Shiina Yuichi was holding a box of pastries he bought on the road. "It's just a small gift, not a token of respect."

After all, he is Miyano Akemi's adoptive father, so he still has to be polite.

"I'm sorry to have cost you so much." Hirota Toshiko took the pastry and bent down slightly.

"It's okay. I wonder if I can meet Professor Hirota first?" Shiina Yuichi said.

"No problem, please come with me."

Hirota Toshiko led the way in front, and Shiina Yuichi followed obediently behind.

Soon, they came to a house.

Hirota Toshiko knocked on the door but received no response, which made her feel a little strange.

No way, Shiina Yuichi looked at the familiar scene, as if the god of death had descended from the darkness.

Is it because of the name Conan?

At this time, the bell outside the door rang again, and Hirota Toshiko had to go to open the door first. When she came back, a fat man and a small man followed her.

"good evening."

As expected, Shiina Yuichi covered his face.

The people who came were Conan and Dr. Agasa.

"Why are you two here?" Shiina Yuichi asked unhappily.

"It was Huibara who called us. We all know everything." Conan said carefully, "She hoped that Dr. Agasa could confirm the information on the disk on the spot."

What do you mean? Am I unreliable?

Am I a brainless idiot who only knows how to fight in her eyes?

Little brat, just wait for me to get back and deal with you.

"Alright alright."

Now that things have come to this, what else can he say?

With Conan's appearance, he could only pray that Professor Hirota was strong enough.

After failing to knock on the door twice, Conan used the Death God's flaw observation technique, jumped up, and climbed onto the glass layer above the door.

Through the glass, he saw Professor Hirota being crushed by a bookshelf, with blood on his head.

"Shiina Yuichi."

Conan jumped down in shock and shouted.

"Call me brother." Shiina Yuichi gave Conan a slap on the face without any hesitation.

However, judging from Conan's reaction, Shiina Yuichi also expected how things would develop.

Professor Hirota is probably in great danger.

I don't know how to explain this to Akemi Miyano when I get back.

"Madam, your husband is dead. You can call the police." Shiina Yuichi glanced at Hirota Toshiko who was confused, then kicked the door open.

As expected, Professor Hirota's body was seen.

Hirota Toshiko let out an ear-piercing cry.

Shiina Yuichi glanced at Conan and thought to himself.

It’s the rice flower people again... No, this is Shizuoka.
