The next morning, the hotel's cafeteria.

"You..." Chiba was holding two slices of bread with bacon in her mouth, but saw Hoshino Kaede calmly walk into the restaurant, looking nothing unusual. "Are you alright?"

"It's going to take a few hours if it's completely fine," Kaede Hoshino made a gesture with his left hand. "But it's at least better now than it was before. However, you can actually get used to the bread here... ”

"Hell with habit..." Qian Yu glanced at the bread in his hand speechlessly—this was not some finely ground high-quality white bread, but rye bread, and it was obviously not very high-quality, and it would leave a fermented taste in the mouth. "I feel like I'm going to be burned by the fire of St. Anthony... (Referring to St. Anthony's Fire, what we now call ergotine poisoning, is a serious disease that is often transmitted by a fungus that parasitizes the ergos on rye.) The reason why this condition is called St. Anthony's Fire is because there are people who go on a pilgrimage to St. Anthony's and are cured of the disease. This principle is due to the fact that during the pilgrimage, they will adopt the same diet as the monks there, that is, white bread, and the illness will naturally be alleviated. ）

"But modern processing technology has been able to remove ergot perfectly, so you don't have to worry about this disease, do you?" Conan sat across from Chiba with a plate of some food. "Brother Hoshino, you can sit down later, and you and the doctor will fill the table together."

。。。

"Ignacio," as the four of them were eating, Kaede Hoshino glanced around and threw a full-body photo from his sleeve onto the table. "German, 23 years old, able to speak English, Japanese, German and Spanish. With a height of 183 cm and a weight of 83 kg, there are no special habits. ”

"Is this his daily photograph or did you ask him to pose for it?" Chiba raised an eyebrow.

"Everyday photos," Kaede Hoshino replied. "It's a natural reflection of his character."

"Pretty traditional," Qian Yu raised an eyebrow. "Does he have any personality traits?"

"He likes to play it safe," Kaede Hoshino retracted the photo in his palm and then into his sleeve. So I guess he probably found some danger, so he found a safe place to hide.

"Could it be the place where you can be watched to pick up your mail," Chiba suggested. "So he can see you."

"Then he should choose to contact me," Hoshino Kaede frowned slightly. "But he didn't."

"Could it be that there is no phone... Chiba herself vetoed her opinion. "It's almost impossible, at night, if he's indoors, he can only be in a hotel, and there must be a phone in that kind of place."

"If you're not in the hotel, he's waiting for me in a hidden place, but in that case, he should be able to get in touch with me in person." Kaede Hoshino shook his head.

"So, he's not around there," Conan concluded. "More likely, he was discovered, so he couldn't protect himself. Where did you get the evidence? ”

"In the grass underneath a sculpture," Kaede Hoshino replied. "We were supposed to meet there, but I didn't see him."

"I'm afraid, it's not that he doesn't want to come... Qian Yu frowned. "If I can't wait for you in such a place, I'm afraid I won't be able to come... He's being targeted? ”

"That's how it should be," Kaede Hoshino nodded. "What's even more troublesome is that he didn't tell me where he was. So I still don't even have a clue where to look for him. ”

"Where can he go?" Conan asked suddenly. "If you're coming here from Barcelona, it's like there's only one plane, the one we saw last night...

“！！！” Hoshino Kaede was surprised and immediately began to think. "It seems to be ... There is only one flight a day from Barcelona to here! ”

"You mean to say that our informant arrived the night before?" Qian Yu glanced in the direction of the entrance of the cafeteria not far away - not far from the door, there was the front desk of the hotel. At this point in time, it is likely that he did not choose to live outside, but in this airport hotel. Perhaps, we can check the front desk records. ”

。。。

"Confidentiality?" Hoshino Kaede said incredulously. "Why? We're here to find the friend we just talked about, and there's probably something wrong with him right now! ”

"I'm sorry," the staff explained. "We don't have a roster either, and today there is a big man living in the hotel, so the manager didn't give us the roster, but left it in his hands."

"The big guys... Conan pondered for a moment, thoughtfully. "Could it be..."

"Barcelona?" Qian Yu also muttered.

Come to think of it, if Barcelona had arrived in Athens on that plane last night, staying in a hotel would have been the best option – Romario, the team's striker, would not be fit to walk through a street that might be filled with ultra-racists at night.

"These guys are really haunted... Hoshino Kaede smiled bitterly and shook his head. "What should I do now..."

"They can't be here all the time," Chiba sighed - because the only way to do it was to do it now. "It's going to be a game soon, they definitely have to move to their hotel today, otherwise it won't be too late to step on the field, and when they leave, we'll check it out."

"Sir," Conan asked, suddenly pointing to a tray of medicines on the table. "Which room are these fever medicines going to be delivered to?"

"Fever medicine?" Kaede Hoshino blinked, and then reacted to Conan's thought circuit.

If that informant didn't have an accident - as a German, walking at night shouldn't be dangerous, so he probably encountered some force majeure, so he couldn't wait for Hoshino Kaede to connect with him.

One of the most likely conditions is physical discomfort, and what is the most common incapacitating disease?

Fever, of course! This kind of disease, which can happen at any time, but can make people feel like they have a splitting headache and a trance, definitely has the power to force the informant to go back to recuperate.

"221," the staff member was stunned and gave an answer. "Room 221, a gentleman called and asked for a fever medicine this morning."

"This is it!" All three of them had excited expressions on their faces, and they ran towards room 221 together.

When Ignacio weakly opened the door, only to be hugged tightly by Kaede Hoshino with a relaxed smile, both Chiba and Conan's faces were full of smiles.

There are some things that can only be done when there is hope, but only when they are done. It seems like a needle in a haystack, but it is likely to be done without much effort.

(The hand is a little raw, so I don't do any difficult needle in a haystack, and since I came by plane, I am ready to meet with another person who is going to come by plane, and the airport hotel should be a good waiting place)
