Chapter 33: Office Phone
On January 13th, in the early morning, Maori's house at 5-chome, Mihuacho.
Maori, who had just returned home, entered the door lightly, "Uh", just after taking off his shoes, he realized that Lan's shoes were not there, and immediately called out "Lan", but of course no one responded to him, so he quickly put them on again. Putting on my shoes, I thought of going to the next door to see the lights. It's not easy to make a phone call at this time.
The impatient Mao took advantage of the door, and the people went out first. Who knew that before the stairs were finished, he saw Lan wearing a bathrobe, holding the clothes, and hurried up, and then the father and daughter met each other.
Both of them froze for a moment, Mao Li thought, what's going on here, could it be that they ran into Kudou, the two of them were in the hotel... Lan escaped back? As for the others, Lan's karate is not a vegetarian. Maori's hostility towards Kudo immediately increased, wishing that he was here now so that he could give him a good meal. What Lan thought was, where would Dad go at such a late hour, could it be that he was looking for me. Influenced by Miko Miyamoto, Lan learns to observe whether her father's behavior is a performance of caring about herself. Lan was very happy about this, and a smile appeared on his face.
Now Maoli became anxious, and asked, "Lan, it's so late, why are you running outside in a bathrobe, don't you, you and Kudo, really, really..."
"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lan blushed and said, not knowing whether she was angry or ashamed.
Now Maori became more suspicious, but Lan didn't want to entangle with her father here. She went up to the second floor in a few steps, opened the door and entered the office, and then went to change clothes. It was terrible, but I was afraid that I would ask it out loud, and my daughter was thin-skinned, so I didn't tell him, so I had to pretend to be calm and turned on the TV to watch it.
About ten minutes later, Lan came out after hastily blow-dried her hair and changed her clothes. Seeing Maori watching TV, she asked strangely, "Dad, is the TV upstairs okay?"
"Ah, um, I forgot my key." Maori finally found a reason, and I didn't want to leave.
"Really, can't you be more careful." Lan complained, while handing her key to Mao Li, you should leave quickly.
"Oh, I see, I will pay attention next time." Mao Li said while watching TV, "There is still a little more to finish, I will leave after watching this episode." Then he took the key and played with it in his hand , by the way, pretending to be casual, glanced at Lan's bathrobe on the sofa, and asked, "Where did you buy this bathrobe? I haven't seen you wearing it. It looks quite high-end?"
"Oh, this," Lan said, afraid that her father would think about it, "I just took a bath at Aunt Meizi's house, so I put on my clothes because I was afraid of getting wet."
"Oh, so it belongs to Meizi's family." Mao Li finally felt relieved.
"Well, the water is very comfortable to soak," Lan confirmed again, spreading out the bathrobe, and said, "Dad, I heard from Aunt Miko, she said, Dad used to...um..." Lan Hearing the sound of snoring, he turned his head and saw that Maori had fallen asleep lying on the table.
Now, Lan felt relieved, her father would be very dead in bed, so it was fine to make a phone call. But this time no one was talking, and the sound of the TV was very low, only a thin rustling sound could be heard, the room suddenly fell silent. Lan sat on the sofa, thinking about Xinyi, thinking about According to that report, Shinichi has been missing for three days. Is he really in a foreign country? Something must have happened, but Shinichi should be able to solve everything. Thinking of this, looking at the phone that hasn't rang for a long time, tears can't help but start rolling in the eyes, Shinichi, come back soon. "Ding..." The phone rang.
Conan hurriedly exchanged the ten thousand yen given by Yamazaki into a lot of change on the vending machine,
Then I went to the phone booth, adjusted the voice changer, watched the snow falling outside, and waited for a while, holding on for a while, before calling Maoli's house.
"Hey, is it Xinyi, is it Xinyi?" Lan asked eagerly.
"Lan, you really know, did you wait for me all night?" Conan joked, and then said according to the content of the report, "I was afraid of disturbing you, so I called the office to try."
"I didn't wait for you all night," Lan retorted.
"Hey, Lan, are you crying because you're worried about me?" Conan said, remembering Lan's sad look before.
"Stupid, why am I crying?" Lan quickly wiped his eyes, and then asked, "Why are you calling now? Where are you, Shinichi?"
"I don't know. There are no shops in this place. The car broke down earlier, and I finally found a gas station. I called you immediately because I was afraid that you would be in a hurry." Conan continued.
"Then when will you be back?" Lan asked.
"Since you are waiting there, you must know something about it. I don't know when I will be able to go back." Conan continued according to the content of the report.
"Will that be dangerous?" Lan asked worriedly.
"How could it be?" Conan said with a smile, "I was in a luxury car, I ate high-end cuisine, and I drank high-end red...uh..."
"Xinyi, you're still drinking." Lan immediately diverted her attention, and then asked imaginatively, "Is there a beautiful woman with you?"
"Ah," Conan said in surprise, "Why... no, no, how is this possible."
"Okay, Xinyi," Lan said angrily, "You actually..."
"Ah, Lan, overseas phone calls are too expensive. I've run out of change. I'll call you next time." Conan said hastily, "Lan, goodbye." After speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.
"Kudo Shinichi..." Listening to the blind voice on the phone, Lan said through gritted teeth, and the phone in his hand creaked.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, recalling the content of the report, the general idea was that a foreign rich man wanted to find irrelevant detectives to handle something for him, so he found some from Japan, because Kudo's reputation also found him, and finally after selection He was the only one left to get in the car going there. This is the end, and the rest can be said to be confidential and cannot be told to her. Now it can be delayed for a while, but it is still necessary to find those guys as soon as possible, Lan. I must quickly return to my original form, and use my real voice to tell you what I really feel in my heart. "Ah!" Conan sneezed, feeling the biting cold, the snow stopped, but it was even colder. Looking at the pile of small change in front of him, Conan smiled wryly, he can only keep some of this, if you bring too much, you will be suspected, and you can only make it cheaper for others.
I hurried back to Maori's house and found that Lan was cleaning, and seemed to have a grudge against the floor. Conan called out very carefully: "Lan, sister."
"It's Conan," Lan said calmly, "Well, why are you back?"
"When I was sleeping at Brother Yamazaki's house, I came out when I heard Sister Lan leaving," Conan replied, and then said angrily, "It's a pity that I went the wrong way, so I just came back now."
"Really," Lan touched Conan's hand, which felt cold, and complained, "Yamazaki, I won't give it away." Then he said, "Come on, my sister will take you to bed. Let's sleep in Dad's room today." .”
"Where's Uncle?" Conan asked weakly, "Will he agree?"
"He fell asleep downstairs, so don't worry about him." Lan said, and went to take out the bedding from the utility room, and made it for Conan in Maori's room, next to Maori's bed, and then said : "Okay, you can sleep here." Then he closed the door and went out.
Conan just relaxed...
The Miyamoto family. Seeing her mother leaving like this, looking at the clock again, Yamazaki smiled helplessly, and hurried back to the room to report, Mei Daizi didn't know when she would wake up, what about breakfast.
It was dawn, and Yamazaki came to the living room again. Dad Miyamoto Ichiro had already woken up and was making tea now. Seeing him coming, Ichiro Miyamoto said, "Sit!" and handed him a glass.
Yamazaki drank three cups in a row, when Mei Daizi came out, sure enough, she said, "Good morning, Dad. Good morning, brother." Then she asked: "Mom, what are you having for breakfast this morning? "
Miyamoto Ichiro pushed a stack of papers on the table to Yamazaki, and said, "Bird's nest porridge."
"Father, I can't get enough from eating bird's nest porridge alone." Mei Daizi replied in embarrassment.
"Mom had something to do last night, she went to bed late, and she hasn't woken up yet, let's go out to eat," Yamazaki looked at the stack of papers, and said, "The bird's nest porridge is for mom and dad."...
On the other side, the three excited little guys also woke up, packed up their things, ate a free breakfast, went to the front desk to say something, and set foot on the way home. Because I want to save money, if I take a taxi back, I won't have much money left. After finally returning to Mihua Town, the three little guys finally breathed a sigh of relief. Once they let go of their hearts, they began to think too much.
Light snow fell in the sky again, and Ayumi chased the snowflakes with her hands, and said, "Although it's a little scary, it's the first time I feel this kind of nervousness." "If you can be friends with Conan, it seems that you can Experience more thrills and excitement." Mitsuhiko also echoed. "Okay, let's grab that guy Conan as a friend." "Yuan Tai immediately decided that if he wanted to become a detective, he could learn more from someone who also wanted to be a detective and who was also taught as a companion.
"Hey, what should I do with the money, or should I return it to that brother." Guangyan asked Yuantai at this time, the remaining money was in Yuantai's hands, and they originally wanted to use it for food. "Well, it should be returned to others." Ayumi echoed. "Uh..." Motota thought about it, and finally made a painful choice between eating eel rice now and becoming a detective in the future. After making up his mind, he gave the money to Ayumi, "Then give it back to him." Bar."
"Does anyone know where that brother lives?" Ayumi asked. "I know, I live next to Conan's house." Yuan Tai replied. "Then let's go." Mitsuhiko decided. ...
