Friday, April 19, Maori Detective Agency.

In the afternoon, after school, after eating, Yamazaki came to drink tea as usual.

A week after Dr. Asasa gave birth, he came up with a new gadget, and Conan had already gone to receive it. Lan was cleaning up again, and the Maori detective was staring at the small TV while holding a pen, very excited, very serious, recording information, trying to figure out which horses would reach the finish line first tomorrow.

Soon, the doorbell rang and business came to the door.

The person who came was a woman, wearing a pair of round glasses, combing two long braids, and looking, well, a little rustic. As soon as she sat down on the couch, Conan shouted "I'm back", pushed the door in, and then saw that a client was coming, and stood next to Maori and listened.

The woman clasped her hands together and introduced herself, "My name is Masami Hirota." Then he put his hands on his chest and pleaded with tears, "Please, please help me find my father." ”

"Good. Maori agreed.

"My dad works in Tokyo, but he hasn't been heard from for a month, and he has quit his job at a taxi company. ”

Maori said, "So, here you are." ”

"Yes," explained Miss Masami, "they say Detective Maori, you're very good at finding people. So ......"

"Ah," Maori laughed, "where, where." ”

"I came to this place from Yamagata Prefecture on leave of absence from school," Miss Masami pleaded again, "So, Mr. Detective, please, you, must help me." ”

"I see," Maori said, "I'm willing to do you a favor." ”

Miss Masami thanked, "Thank you so much. Then he handed out a photo and said, "This is my father, Kenzo Hirota, who is 170 centimeters tall and 48 years old." ”

Looking at the photo, a middle-aged man holding a black cat and smiling happily in front of a taxi, Maori asked, "What about this cat?"

"My dad is very fond of cats, it's just his own, and his name is 'Kui'. "He also had three other cats, named 'Emperor', 'Hao', and 'Wang'. ”

Touching the button on his chest, Conan thought to himself, using this thing to find someone, it would be really speechless. By the way, find someone to test it first.

At this time, Lan passed by with tea, and Conan decided to try it on Lan, so he immediately tore off the sticker from the button and walked up.

Yamazaki watched Conan take advantage of Ran's tea, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to the protruding part behind Ran. However, the tiles that Lan had just cleaned protected her, and Conan slipped under his feet and collapsed onto the couch.

Seeing Conan fall on top of the guest, Mori immediately exclaimed, "You guy, what are you doing?" ”

Conan hurriedly sat up, touched the back of his head and smiled, "I'm sorry." Then he found that the things in his hand were missing, so he looked around.

I didn't care at all, Miss Masami put her hands on her lap, grabbed her pants, lowered her head and said with a crying voice, "Mom passed away when I was a child, Dad is the only person I can rely on, if something happens to Dad, I ......"

Conan found a sticker and put it on the outside of the watch strap that Miss Masami was wearing on her right wrist. But when I was about to take it off, I suddenly saw water droplets dripping on my watch, so I looked up and saw that Miss Masami was already crying, and it was her teardrops.

Lan stepped forward, sat between Conan and Miss Masami, and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to find it." Then he asked, "Yes, Daddy?"

"Yes," Maori said, "it will." ”

After a while, Miss Masami stopped crying, stood up and saluted, and said, "Then please." After saying that, he bowed his head and left.

Lan sent Miss Masami downstairs and watched her get into a taxi before returning to the office. Then he complained to Maori, who was drinking tea, "Dad, why are you still drinking tea here." ”

"Don't worry," Maori said, "I'll leave when I'm done with my tea." ”

"Then Yamazaki ......," Ran shouted to Yamazaki, who was sitting behind his desk watching TV.

"I can't do that," said Yamazaki, "Uncle Maori alone is enough." ”

"I'm leaving," Maori said, "I don't have to prepare dinner for me, I'm not coming back." With that, he went out, and then Lan packed up the table and went upstairs to cook.

Waiting for Ran to leave, Yamazaki smiled at Conan, who was sitting on the sofa reading comics, "Hey, you ...... just now" said while making a bottom-up gesture and waving his hand, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to touch ...... that?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Immediately blushing, Conan jumped up from the couch and shouted, "I'm just, just ......"

"It's just?" Yamazaki immediately smiled and asked rhetorically, "Just what?"

"Well," Conan explained, "Dr. Asa made a sticker transmitter that you would normally stick to the clasp, and I just wanted to try it on Ran." ”

"Transmitter?" Yamazaki asked helplessly, "with your glasses?"

"Yes, it's the same as the detective badge, you can display it by pressing the button next to the glasses, and it's the same as the detective badge, as long as the transmitter is within a radius of twenty kilometers, it will be displayed wherever the other party goes, and it's usually used as a sticker and pasted on the button. Conan replied, "Dr. Asa said that since he had tracking glasses, it would be a bit of a waste to just use them to find the Junior Detective Corps, so he did this." ”

"Well," Yamazaki asked with a smile, "but even if you want to try it on Ran, you don't have to stick it on that protrusion, do you?"

"This, this ......," Conan explained, "I didn't mean to. ”

"Oh," Yamazaki said with a smirk, "yes, you're just right, you can only get to that place." ”

"You guy. Conan said, tossing the comic in his hand.

"Just kidding," Yamazaki said with a smile after taking the manga, "take a look at that thing, you probably haven't touched it." ”

"It's sticked," just said, looking at Yamazaki's strange eyes, Conan quickly explained, "No, no, it wasn't attached to Ran, and accidentally stuck to the strap of that Miss Masami's watch." ”

"Did you get it back?" asked Yamazaki.

"Well," Lan sat down suddenly. Conan said embarrassedly, "I'm not in a hurry." ”

"Well, I'll have to get it back for you next time," Yamazaki laughed, "and you shouldn't use it indiscriminately in the meantime." ”

Conan said angrily, "I don't need you to remind you of this." Then he asked, "By the way, your intelligence should be very powerful, can you ......?"

"Bring it. Yamazaki stretched out his hand and smiled.

Conan asked suspiciously, "What?"

"A commission fee, of course. Yamazaki smiled, "For Lan's sake of wanting to help her so much, I'll give you a discount, 500,000." Of course, this is the starting price, there are other fees or special circumstances will be charged separately. ”

"Then forget it," Conan said angrily, and then asked, "By the way, do you think the words Kui, Emperor, Hao, and Wang are very familiar?"

"Of course," Yamazaki laughs, "we've been listening to it several times a day for the last few days. He knocked on the table.

"What?" walked over, picked up Maori's homework book on the table, and looked at it, Conan smiled, "How is this possible, Emperor Haokui, this is the name of the racehorse." ”

"I think it's probably the case. Yamazaki smiled and asked, "You look at the four words Hao, Kui, Emperor, and King separately, one by one, what do you mean by that?"

"...... of horses , uh......" Conan asked rhetorically, "not that coincidentally, right?"

"It's not such a coincidence, just four cats. Yamazaki smiled, "I can't afford to raise a black Haokui Imperial Horse, so I have four black cats, Haobi, Kui, Emperor, and King, so it's good to have a good time." ”

"Well," said Conan, "so we can go there and try to find it tomorrow." ”

"I'm just saying, don't look for me, I don't want to go there," Yamazaki laughed, "I don't want to find one person out of the tens of thousands." ”

"Uh......" Conan reluctantly agreed, "well, let's see." ”……

Saturday, April 20, Māori Detective Agency.

In the afternoon, when Yamazaki arrived, Ran had just changed out of his school uniform and started his sanitation work, while Conan was helping. However, as soon as Yamazaki finished making tea and sat down, Mori pushed the door in, and Yamazaki immediately poured a cup for Mori.

Lan hurriedly asked, "Dad, how's it going?"

Touching the teacup on the table, and then taking it in one gulp, Maori breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Her father seems to be a rather difficult person to deal with, and he doesn't seem to talk about himself with his colleagues." I asked the taxi company all over the place, but I couldn't find anyone who knew him. ”

At this time, the phone on the desk rang, Lan immediately stepped forward to answer it, sure enough, it was Miss Yami's call, and after drinking another cup of tea, Maori stepped forward to take the phone and reported: "Miss Yami, I already have a clue, please wait a little longer." ”

Miss Masami said, "Then I'll leave everything to you." ”

Hanging up the phone, Maori leaned back in the chair behind his desk, stretched, and said, "It's time to start." With that, he turned on the TV.

"Hey?" Lan, who was wiping the table, looked at the text on the notebook spread out on the table, pointed to the underlined text, and asked suspiciously, "Dad, is this the clue you are looking for?"

Yamazaki was stunned for a moment and looked at Conan, meaning, is it that thing from yesterday?

Conan nodded, meaning, it was yesterday's thing.

Yamazaki smiled bitterly, this time it's troublesome, looking for someone at the racecourse......

At this time, a voice came from the TV, "Now the one who is entering the arena is the Haokui Emperor with the title of the undefeated king......"

"Well," Maori said casually, looking at the TV, "this is ......"

"Ah, I see, Mr. Hirota must have liked to bet on this magnificent imperial horse, which is why he named his cat after the horse. Since this horse will be on the scene today, Mr. Hirota may be able to go. Lan exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go too." ”

"Huh?" Coming back to his senses, Maori asked, "going, where?"

"Go to the racecourse, aren't you coming back to see if Mr. Hirota will appear on TV?" Lan said, "Let's go to the scene, go to Mr. Hirota." ”

"Well, yes," Maori said, "but ......."

"Oh, don't say it, this is about to begin. Pulling up Maori, Lan said, "Let's go to the racetrack." By the way, Yamazaki and Conan, you can also help. ”

Conan immediately laughed.

"Okay. Yamazaki said helplessly, and then drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. ……
