Chapter 26 A relatively smooth tracing route~)
Mouri Kogoro's driving skills are better than a police officer named Takagi.
Half an hour later, a car parked outside a rental apartment in Nerima Ward.
Looking at this old apartment in front of me.
A few people finally understood why pets are not prohibited here.
There are crows wandering on the telephone poles outside the door from time to time, and there seem to be groups of wild cats hanging out in the garbage spots beside the road.
The cold wind blows by and the rustling of the leaves makes the place feel like a haunted house.
In this environment, if residents are not allowed to keep pets for spiritual comfort, they may not be able to rent them out at all.
"Well, it's very similar to a place where criminal suspects would hide..." Ye Gengyi concluded.
Conan looked askance at someone, hehe, please don't classify other people's fathers as criminals without permission...
"Okay! Let's start looking for Mr. Hirota!" Mouri Kogoro was full of enthusiasm, and looked like he was going to knock on doors to confirm.
Xiaolan was a little scared when she looked at the dark and shabby apartment. She subconsciously grabbed Conan's hand: "Dad... Otherwise, Conan and I should stay here and wait for you..."
"Humph, you guys are coming even though I'm not allowed to come..." Although Kogoro Maori complained, his love for his daughter could be seen even by an outsider like Ye Gengyi, "Gengyi, please stay with them.
,Originally, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"No..." Ye Geng shook his head and refused.
Seeing this, Xiaolan quickly said: "Yeah, no need...Mr. Ye still seems to like solving cases. It doesn't matter if Conan and I are the only ones left..."
"Sister Xiaolan, I want to go too..." Conan protested.
Isn't anyone prepared to ask his opinion?
Speaking of which, this time, he was working hard and was preparing to compete with Ye Geng one by one.
"That's not what I meant..." Ye Gengyi turned around and explained, "It's very cold to stay outside all the time...and if you catch a cold, you'll catch a cold."
"ah?"
(·-·)...
Mao Lilan Doudouyan said, "Is it... like this..."
She had no idea at first, but after Ye Gengyi explained it in such a calm tone, she felt a creepy feeling...
The resentment of wearing only a thin shirt is so terrifying.
Xiaolan's expression was solemn and she began to think seriously about what she said before. Is it really okay for her and Conan to stay here?
"Yuyu..."
The crow on the eaves made a mournful cry.
"I'd better go with you." Xiaolan immediately changed her mind, pulling Conan and standing silently behind Moori Kogoro.
Conan, who was thinking about how to sneak in: "???"
A cadre of a black organization, a detective who looked a little confused, two women and a child arrived at the door of the apartment.
"Does anyone really live in a place like this? It feels so eerie..." Kogoro Mouri complained and was about to knock on the door.
Ye Gengyi took the words and analyzed calmly: "Perhaps there are many resentments of those people who went bankrupt in horse racing. According to legend, the three souls and seven souls of people who died because of unwillingness cannot be dissipated, and the resentment is extremely heavy and cannot be gathered together.
It disperses and becomes more ferocious than ordinary earthbound spirits."
Earthbound spirit...
Mouri Kogoro's whole body was trembling, and his arms were hanging in the air.
"Mr. Ye, please stop talking..."
Mao Lilan's voice was trembling, why could this person say such terrible things as if nothing had happened...
"Boy, this is feudal superstition!" Mouri Kogoro said solemnly.
When we were eating just now, didn't the guy in front of me say he was a professor in some field?
"No, I just want to advise Mr. Maoli not to bet on horse racing in the future. Gambling is harmful to physical and mental health..." Ye Gengyi said calmly.
hehe...
Mouri Kogoro's half-moon eyes.
Miyano Akemi was also a little nervous because of the atmosphere. She wanted to pull Ye Gengyi's sleeve, but after a moment of hesitation, she retracted her hand.
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time..." From the corner of the apartment, a short Obasan suddenly said.
“Ah—it appeared!!!”
Maori Lan and Miyano Akemi both screamed, which immediately made Maori Kogoro tremble.
Ye Geng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and saw Obasan, who was about the same height as Conan, standing on the other side of the door.
"Not polite!" That Obasan walked up the steps slowly, "I am the landlord of this apartment, but you guys, are you planning to rent an apartment at this time?"
"Hahaha...it turns out to be a living person..." Mouri Kogoro laughed dryly, touching his head.
Noticing that Obasan was getting angry, Miyano Akemi quickly took out the photo and asked: "Mrs. Landlady, we are here to find someone. Have you rented the house to the man in the photo?"
"Oh?" The landlord adjusted his glasses, looked at it carefully and said, "Little girl, what is your relationship with the man in the photo?"
"I..." Under Ye Gengyi's gaze, Miyano Akemi could only continue to bite the bullet and prepare to lie.
"It's her father...Miss Hirota's father is missing." Xiaolan looked serious.
"Guangtian...Oh, it turns out you are his daughter. Yes, the man in the photo does live in my apartment, in that room. You can go find it yourself." The landlady nodded and pointed to the second floor.
A balcony of a house.
Actually here...a missing person...how could he be found so easily.
Conan started scratching his hair again. He always felt that this thing was strange, but he couldn't say it for a while.
However, the subsequent development process was far smoother than Conan imagined.
Based on preconceived notions.
From the perspective of Mouri and Conan, after knocking on the door, Hirota Kenzo looked surprised when his "daughter" came to the door.
Miyano Akemi was very "happy" and threw herself into the arms of her father who had been missing for a long time.
Traveling thousands of miles to find relatives, it’s such a joyful experience, what a touching scene...
Unfortunately, in fact, after Kenzo Hirota saw Miyano Akemi leading people to find him, he only felt endless despair and fear in his heart.
If Miyano Akemi was alone, he could still find a way to escape.
But now, Hirota Kenzo looked at the indifferent Ye Gengyi and the mustached man next to him, and completely lost the courage to resist.
Ye Gengyi said calmly: "Mr. Guangtian, it's really easy for us to find him."
"Yes, Mr. Hirota, it's not okay to make such a lovely daughter sad." Mouri Kogoro continued to hit him.
"Dad, you have to explain it to me." After solemnly thanking Maori and others, Miyano Akemi took Hirota Kenzo back to the room.
When a few people went downstairs, Maori Kogoro looked at Ye Gengyi with a proud look on his face, "How about it, kid? For a commission like this, as long as you come to me, it will be done in a few clicks!"
"Awesome." Ye Gengyi refused to refute. After all, Mouri Kogoro had just cooperated with him invisibly to intimidate Hirota Kenzo, and he did a good job.
"Okay, let's go back!"
As both fathers, Mouri Kogoro was in a good mood after helping Miyano Akemi.
He was still chattering until he started the car.
Conan stood aside with half-moon eyes. From beginning to end, Uncle Maori seemed to have only contributed a newspaper to this commission...
"I think it's time for me to say goodbye." Ye Gengyi did not get in the car, but took out his cell phone and gestured: "A friend will pick me up later."
"Hey, Brother Gengyi's friend?" Curious Baby Conan expressed his interest.
Ye Gengyi ignored him and said to Xiaolan: "If you are not going to drink the two bottles of wine I brought, it is best to store them in a dark, cool and well-ventilated place."
Mouri Kogoro on the side smiled and said: "Haha, don't worry about this, kid, I will drink them when I get back. Remember to bring a few more bottles next time."
"Uh...as you wish."
