Conan Moslin

“Meow—meow?”

Conan lay down on the ground at the entrance, put his face on the ground without feeling dirty at all, put his hands into the gap between the sofa and waved them left and right, meowing here and there.

Seeing no effect, he turned on the flashlight on his watch and scanned the inside of the sofa.

Under the sofa, the originally glowing round pupils gradually dimmed under the illumination of the flashlight, reflecting the luster of amber. It was originally staring at Conan who was lying on the ground, but after sensing the light, its fluffy body that blended into the black slowly retreated cautiously, and the bell on its chest made a subtle sound.

Then stop moving.

Because there is a wall behind.

Conan had expressed his dissatisfaction with the length of his arms countless times.

There should be four cats in the house, but when he looked around the house, there were only three.

He needed to know the name of each one to determine the remaining one.

The cat on the bookshelf was fine, but Xiaolan brought it down. He rushed to look at the brand name, which was "Di".

He must catch the one in front of him!

As I was thinking this, a red dot flashed before my eyes, and quickly dragged out a long red line, moving under the sofa.

Conan guessed who it belonged to without even thinking.

He thought of Kuroba Kuriyasu who had lock picking tools in his previous dream, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

How come Miss Li An has everything??!

The black cat's amber round pupils were involuntarily caught by the red dot, and it stretched out a paw, trying to press it down.

The red dot landed on its claws, and it couldn't be held down no matter what it did, so it quickly moved away.

It unconsciously followed the red dot and jumped out.

When Conan stood up to take a look, Li An had already put away the laser pen and picked up the cat by the scruff of the neck.

The sight suddenly became empty, and the black cat's four legs kicked randomly in the air a few times, and then drooped down as if it had lost all hope in life.

She glanced at the name tag, put the black cat in her arms, and took the opportunity to stroke it a few times.

The bell on the black cat's chest made a dull sound.

Li An rubbed its head and moved his hand to the buckle that seemed to have a lock. He fiddled with it slightly and untied the collar with a name tag and a bell.

She turned and walked out with the cat in her arms, using the cat's arm to block her view. She took the note out of the bell, read it, and stuffed it back, saying casually to Conan, "This is just 'King'. 'Quick' is gone."

Li An went out with the cat in his arms.

My mother-in-law brought out a basin of fish from her home downstairs. It looked like it was food she had prepared for the birds.

Seeing the collars in Li An's hand, she was a little surprised and praised: "You can actually take off their collars? I have wanted to put them on again for a long time, but their owners tied them too tightly... I can't take them off."

"Is that right?"

At the request of her mother-in-law, Li An took off the collars of the three cats one by one.

The cat shook its head and sat in front of the food bowl, nibbling on the fish in a relaxed manner, obviously enjoying the meal very much.

"You can't recognize them?" Li An asked, looking at the few who were eating happily, "All three look the same."

Grandma laughed and said, "Although my eyesight is blurry, I can still tell the cats apart."

She pointed at the one that Li An had just brought out of the house and said, "This is Wang. There's a white spot on the edge of his beard. He's a little timid. He ran under the sofa the first time I saw him."

"As for Emperor, he likes to squat on a high place and look down. The tip of his tail is white."

"'Hao', it's the most clingy and the least afraid of people, and its whole body is black."

"'Quick', it's the smartest, and its four legs are white. Is there a way to describe it?"

"Dark clouds tread on snow."

"Yes, that's it. It's so lively. I'm really afraid it will run out to play and never come back."

The mother-in-law had a gentle expression on her face: "None of these cats belong to me. If that person can continue to live here, I can always look after them."

Li An was slightly startled: "Soon he will be back."

But the cat's owner will definitely not come back.

The only people left in the room were Hirota Masami, Conan and Mouri Kogoro.

Maori Kogoro slapped his forehead, expressing his helplessness towards these people who were looking for the cat. He thought for a moment, then turned to ask Hirota Masami: "Where does your father usually leave items like schedules?"

"Maybe on his calendar there will be..."

Kogoro Mouri and Conan looked at the calendar on the wall that had been torn off for more than half, in silence.

That means he needs a puzzle now, right?

Maori Kogoro took off the calendar and handed it to Conan: "I have a task for you."

Conan saw that there were many holes on the back of the calendar belonging to March.

He felt a little strange.

At the same time, there was a bad feeling.

"If you can complete the puzzle for April." Maori Kogoro rarely showed a kind expression to Conan, but it soon turned into a pained expression, "Then let... I will take you to eat ramen in a few days."

Conan immediately took the calendar, nodded obediently, and began to squat on the ground and pick up the papers.

Kogoro Mori breathed a sigh of relief and went to look elsewhere.

Hirota Masami looked at the two, one big and one small, and could only give an awkward but polite smile.

Calendar paper is a relatively hard type of paper, so even if it is scattered on the ground it is easier to distinguish and it is also convenient for Conan to find it.

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri had shifted his gaze, Conan stopped looking for the piece of paper. He flipped the back page of the calendar and put it in front.

三月的日历上，日期为2/5/7/9/11/12/14的七个日期被戳出了洞，包括27之后的日期用黑色马克笔打了叉。

Above, there is a row of numbers that are unclear.

5、4、7、3、0、1、2、6、6。

Is this... a secret code?

He immediately took out his notebook and wrote it down.

What puzzled Conan was that there were still faint marks on some dates on the March calendar.

Not far behind him, Hirota Masami saw the complete calendar and naturally saw the actions recorded by Conan.

After she carefully checked the solution in her memory, she looked towards the door and her pupils shrank slightly.

Outside the door, three black cats lowered their heads and ate the fish that the landlady had specially prepared today, and they ate it with great relish.

Li An held three collars and shook them over the heads of several cats that were eating with interest.

The bells on the three collars collided, making a crisp sound.

The tips of the ears of "Hao", "Di" and "Wang" who were eating twitched, but perhaps the food in front of them was more important, so they did not turn their heads immediately.

"Sister Li An..." Xiao Lan called her helplessly, "They won't be able to eat well."

Why is Sister Li An so childish at a time like this?

Li An obediently took back the collar and threw it to Hirota Masami who was "eager to try" next to him.

The crisp sound of ding-ding-ling-ling drew three similar parabolas and fell accurately into Hirota Masami's arms.

Hirota Masami: …
