Conan Moslin

Edogawa Fumiyo held a handkerchief sprayed with ether behind his back and followed the small footprints in front of him to the alley where the footprints pointed.

The footprints became longer and wider, and in the end, they almost dragged horizontally to the corner.

Edogawa Fumiyo suppressed the slight bit of heartache in her heart, and as she got closer, she put on a naughty smile like a child, looking at the shadow at the corner of the street and the game shell that accidentally revealed a small corner, and secretly complained in her heart.

This kid, Shin-chan, really doesn't know how to hide at all.

When he was about to rush out to find Dr. Agasa, she pounced on him and knocked him out!

Planning everything happily in his mind, Edogawa Fumiyo opened his mouth, intending to bite off the gloves. However, fearing that the gloves would be stained with ether, he could only rub off one glove with great effort before pressing the call button on the cell phone.

Dr. Agasa, who had known about their plan for a long time, held up an umbrella to cover his face, answered the phone to listen to the noise over there, and at the same time slowly walked from the other side of the street.

However, until Dr. Agasa opened the door and entered the house, the people in front did not move.

Edogawa Fumiyo felt something was wrong, so he crouched and walked forward quickly.

Then, she was stunned to see a round snowman built at the corner of the alley.

It seems that the bottom is a little worn out due to being pushed.

There were only two dry branches stuck on the snowman's body, and there was nothing at the neck. Its eyes were two black buttons, and the square box containing the game disc was stuck where its mouth should be.

The sun's rays shone at an oblique angle, casting a sharp shadow in the direction she had just looked.

Edogawa Fumiyo followed Conan's footprints for a few steps but found that his footprints extended outward for a while and never appeared again when they reached the road.

Dr. Agasa did not receive the news of success, so he quickly went out from the back door and came in from another direction.

"Yukiko, what happened?"

Edogawa Fumiyo stared at the snowman and murmured in a low voice: "This kid runs really fast..."

"Let's go back to my house first!"

……

Conan is not at home!

This news made Edogawa Fumiyo, or rather Kudo Yukiko, completely panicked.

She and Yusaku both felt that this was where he should go back to, but he wasn't here right now.

Where will Conan go?

Dr. Agasa was also a little anxious, but he thought about it carefully and said to Yukiko: "Kurian from the Kuroba family recently moved nearby, and she knows about Conan."

"If Conan isn't here, he might have gone to her for help."

Yukiko's eyes lit up: "Xiao An came to Beihua Town? Didn't she go back to Jianguoda's house after the performance?"

When she was young, Kudo Yukiko learned some disguise skills from Kuroba Toichi. Although she would not call him teacher directly, she was still happy to call his daughter "junior sister".

Junior sister is only twenty years old this year, so calling her like this will make her look very young.

"Hei Yu used her own savings to buy Trojan Manor and occasionally let her friends live there." Dr. Agasa thought for a moment and answered.

Kudo Yukiko immediately said: "Then I will go visit..."

Just leave.

Compared to Agasa's house and Kudo's house, Muba-mansion can be said to be a very small building.

After Li An's simple decoration, the interior looks elegant and exquisite.

After ringing the doorbell, a tomboyish girl pushed the door open and listened to the two people's explanations and questions through the door.

Because they were neighbors and Li An's elder, even though they asked a series of questions, Aso Jun inside the door just frowned slightly and tried to answer patiently.

After asking, Yukiko was very disappointed.

Xiaoxin has never been here, and Xiaoan seemed to have gone out for something, leaving this person she didn't know very well at home to do her homework.

Why does she have so much homework?

After silently sympathizing for a while, Yukiko said goodbye to the girl and continued walking towards home.

"Wait a minute... Yusaku seems to be calling."

As soon as I pressed the answer button, I heard Yusaku's voice with some relief and helplessness: "I saw Shinichi, don't worry."

She immediately grabbed the phone: "You mean..."

"Shinichi is here at the Rice Flower Hotel."

Kudo Yukiko heaved a long sigh of relief, then gritted her teeth and said, "I must make sure that Shin-chan knows that it's wrong to scare people!"

Yusaku Kudo on the other end of the phone: ...Weren't you the one who first proposed the plan to scare Shinichi? Why don't you let him get away?

Of course he didn't dare to refute this, so he just said to her: "Let's go to the hotel first. Please ask Dr. Agasa to come as well."

After hanging up the phone, Kudo Yusaku, who lived in the Beika Hotel, lowered his head slightly and looked outside.

At this time, he was wearing a black robe, a top hat, and a white smiling mask on his face, with the downward curves of his eyes and the upward curves of his mouth being equally sharp.

This outfit belongs to a character in a very popular novel recently published by Yusaku Kudo.

Li An probably didn't remember that the clothes she wore on the day of the school festival seemed to be more similar to this one.

The character's name, "Dark Baron".

Behind the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the white outside can be seen at a glance.

Just before he made the call, the little guy, wearing his childhood blue suit, got off a taxi outside the Rice Flower Hotel and walked in in a sneaky manner but in fact with a swagger.

……

At about 2:50, Akemi Miyano entered the hotel.

She scanned the surroundings.

In front of the counter, many guests come and go to deposit their belongings. Several front desk ladies wear maroon uniforms and show warm and polite smiles to everyone who comes to deposit or withdraw items or plans to check in, giving a sense of intimacy to everyone who comes and goes.

The waiters pushing the food carts are dressed in uniform white shirts and black trousers, with neat black bow ties around their necks, their hair completely covered with hats, and they wear white gloves to show that the food in the store is clean and hygienic.

Miyano Akemi didn't notice anything unusual, so she asked the front desk for a room card and asked for the direction of the elevator. After thanking the waiter, she quickened her pace, walked past the waiter who was pushing the food cart, entered the elevator, and pressed the button.

The waiter Hou Lian, who saw her nearby, was not surprised to see Miyano Akemi, and even noticed Conan who came in. He reached out to adjust his bow tie and opened the mini signal jammer stuck to the inside of the bow tie.

The professional smile on his face deepened slightly, and he pushed the food cart slowly into the employee-only elevator next to him.

"Please wait!"

Conan was a step slow because he was asking something with the front desk, and watched the two elevator doors close one after another in front of him.

Then, the numbers of the two elevators flashed and changed one after another.

All stop at the third floor.
