April 10, Saturday, afternoon, bus stop, in front of Muromachi Hospital, after rain.

Yuanzi was pulled here by Lan in a taxi, and after getting off the car, he complained, "Really, what are we doing here!"

"I'm worried." Lan said, "I always feel that I have seen Mr. Shile somewhere, but I can't remember." Then he said, "And that old man seems to want to find my father."

"Okay, okay," Sonoko sighed, "Since they're all here, let's go and have a look." He pointed at the opposite side with his umbrella.

"Look? Where?" Lan looked at the Mihua News Agency on the opposite side of the road and asked, "What are you doing there?"

"Behind, Muromachi Hospital." Sonoko asked back, "Didn't you say he asked your hospital?"

"By the way, let's go quickly." Lan dragged Yuanzi away.

Moments later, Muromachi Hospital.

Lan inquired at the front desk, but there was no old man named Shile among the guests who came to condolences to the patients, and among the patients who were hospitalized.

"Ah? How come?" Lan was puzzled.

"It's because you are overly worried." Sonoko said, "If you really need to find your father, you should call the office." Then he said, "Otherwise, there will be no old uncle from the beginning. "

"Ah," Lan said, "you still don't believe me."

"How can I trust you?" Yuanzi smiled, "Sleeping like a pig."

"You, you are the one." Lan felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, let's go." Yuanzi smiled. ...

Afternoon, Mori's house.

Ran originally wanted to tell Mori about Mr. Shira, but he was sleeping, so he went to make dinner. ...

Evening, Maori's house, living room.

After dinner, Lan told Mao Li what happened in the afternoon, and then said: "Sonoko said that I was probably dreaming, but I always feel that it is not. Why don't you ask Police Officer Mu Mu to help find the old man..." Then Mao Li got serious , changed his words and said, "It doesn't work either."

"Of course, how should I tell the Megure Police Department about such a thing that has no evidence at all." Maori said angrily, "You must be dreaming too much." Then he looked at the bag on the ground and asked , "Speaking of which, this bag of yours looks quite high-end, how much did you spend?"

"Not much," Lan said.

"Really?" Molly asked.

"Really." Lan said, "I didn't buy them in specialty stores."

"Then you wouldn't buy that kind of thing, would you?" Maori hooked his fingers, "Bring it to me to see."

"That kind of thing? You say it's fake?" Lan handed the bag to Mao Li, "No, Yuanzi can't make a mistake. She said that she can tell it's real just by looking at the material."

"Material?" Mao Li took the bag and touched it, surprised. "It's alligator skin." Then he opened it and looked at it, and asked Lan, "Where did you buy it?"

"There is a store on the roof of the Kichijoji store in Daikyu Department Store, which looks like a flea market." Lan added,

"Yuanzi said that buying it would definitely pay off, so I bought it."

"Thrift shop?" Mao Li laughed, "It seems that it is really stolen."

"Ah? No way?" Lan asked with a bitter face, "Should I send it to the police station?"

"Well, I'll ask in a few days." Mao Li said with a smile, "Keep it for now." He said and threw the bag back to Lan.

Lan quickly caught it, but a floppy disk slipped out of the bag.

Conan picked it up, "Sister Lan, is this yours?"

"No." Lan shook his head.

"Let me take a look." Mao Li took the floppy disk, looked at the words on it and said, "It is extremely confidential, it is strictly forbidden to take it out." Then he touched his chin and smiled, "Okay, it seems that it is something shameful It’s gone.” Then he said, “What kind of laptop, can you read this? Conan, go get it.”

"Oh." Conan responded and went downstairs to get the laptop that Yamazaki left there.

Maori thought for a while and asked Lan, "You just said the Muromachi Hospital Front Station, right?"

"Yes, Dad." Ran said, "But the name Shitara doesn't exist in Muromachi Hospital at all."

"It's not Muromachi Hospital, it's most likely to go to the Mihua News Agency to expose something." Mao Li said.

Lan asked, "Huh? What about the old man now?"

"It's hard to say." Maori said, rubbing his chin.

At this time, Conan came over with a laptop, and Lan turned on the floppy disk and put it in, but he couldn't open it and needed a password.

Conan said: "Hey, go to Dr. Ali, he will definitely be able to solve it."

"Crack!" Maori gave Conan a slap, "It's illegal to open other people's letters in private."

"So what do we do?" Ran asked.

"Of course I'm looking for the police." Mao Li smiled, and then asked Lan to take out the floppy disk to him, "I have a hunch, this must be a big incident." He turned out a pair of money eyes and laughed, and then didn't eat dinner and left.

Lan and Conan wanted to go too, but Maori didn't agree, so they had to continue to have dinner,...

Outside Mei Dai Restaurant.

When Mao Li came down, it happened that Yamazaki and Mei Daizi came down to open a shop, so they called Yamazaki. ...

On the other side, the Mori house, the living room.

Conan noticed that Lan was worried, and asked, "Sister Lan, are you worried about that old man?"

"Yeah, I'm really worried." Lan put down the bowl and chopsticks and said.

"Then let's go find him." Conan said, "Go to the bus terminal first." Then he asked, "Sister Lan, do you remember which company's bus you took?"

"Huh?" Lan blinked his small eyes.

"Okay," Conan said helplessly, "Then let's go to Yuanzi and sister."

After that, the two went downstairs. They wanted to call Yamazaki and Mei Daizi, but Mei Daizi said that Yamazaki and Maoli had left, and she couldn't leave for a while, so they let them go first. ...

At night, Suzuki House, Sonoko's bedroom.

Landao understood the purpose of his visit, and then found out that it was the Tama Kanto Bus Club, and then used the phone in Yuanzi's bedroom to call to inquire, and learned that the bus for that line was at the No. 4 office, the Maruyama office in Ekoda, Nakano District.

"Okay, let's go." Lan put down the phone and said.

"Let's go? Us?" Yuanzi asked with a bitter face, "Why do I want to go together?"

Lan said: "Because Conan said that you were there at the time, maybe you can remember something."

"Damn kid." Sonoko grabbed Conan who hadn't run away, strangled his neck and rubbed his head vigorously, and said to Lan with a bitter face, "I took a bath when I came back."

"Please, Yuanzi." Lan Heshi said, "Please help."

"Really." Sonoko complained helplessly.

Afterwards, Sonoko changed her clothes, said hello to her sister Ayako Suzuki, and left in a taxi with Ran and Conan. ...

On the road, in a taxi.

"By the way, Sonoko, sister," Conan asked, "What headaches have happened to your family?"

"A headache? No." Sonoko said, then smiled, "By the way, if there is, it's because of the easter egg."

Lan asked: "Easter egg? Is it the egg you said last time that you sent for identification? Is it fake?"

"It caused trouble because it was true. The Russians wanted to take it back. The embassy sent someone to discuss it. My father is still thinking about it." Yuanzi laughed, "Leave it alone, it's beyond our control of."

"That's true," Lan said. ...

On the other side, search the Office of Section One.

After Maoli and Yamazaki met the Megure Police Department, they told him what they had heard from Ran about Mr. Shitara, and handed him the floppy disk.

"The problem is," Mumu Police Department said with a frown, "now I also don't have the right to check this thing."

"But, Megure Police Department," Yamazaki asked, "what if this old man was kidnapped?"

"Abducted?" Memu Police Department asked.

"Yeah, he said he wanted to find Uncle Mori, and based on the distance and time, he should have arrived at the Mori Detective Agency." Yamazaki said.

"That's right, the police department," Mao Li said with a smile, "Now this thing is related to a missing incident."

"If you say that," Meguro Police Department glanced at the office and called Officer Takagi over, "Go and send this to decipher."

"Decipher?" Police officer Takagi sweated, and then took the order. ...

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Maruyama Office.

When the three of Lan arrived, the driver in the afternoon was about to leave.

Lan hurriedly stopped him and asked him about the car he was driving in the afternoon.

"Oh, it's the one waiting for maintenance." The driver pointed to a bus and said.

"Sister Lan, let's go." Conan said.

"Wait," the driver asked, "Lan? You don't know Maori Lan, do you?"

"Yes." Lan asked suspiciously, "Excuse me?"

"Not long ago, someone came. He went to that bus first, and then came to ask where a girl named Mao Lilan got off the bus." The driver said, "He also described your appearance."

"What! No way? My hairs are standing on end." Sonoko said, crossing her arms.

Lan asked, "What kind of person is it?"

The driver said, "It's a big man in a windbreaker and sunglasses."

"Ah, it's him." Lan was taken aback.

"Lan, do you know him?" Yuanzi asked.

"I met him once in the car." Lan said, "That's when the old gentleman asked me how many stops were left in front of Muromachi Hospital."

"Hey, you won't just tell that unknown person where we got off the car?" Yuanzi asked.

"Of course not, he doesn't look like a good person." The driver smiled, "So don't worry, I sent him to the end, and I won't find you."

"Ah, thank you so much." Lan smiled.

"Sorry, sorry." Sonoko said.

"It's okay," the driver said with a smile, "Okay, I'm going to change shift." Then he took his leave and left.

At this time, Conan found that the cleaner had boarded the bus, ran up quickly, and asked people to stop, then asked Ran to point out his location, and breathed on the window, only to see Shigekichi Shira and Mori Ran Two columns of words.

"Sure enough, it's not a dream." Lan said with a smile.

"But what's going on, I don't understand at all." Sonoko said.

Conan said: "Mr. Shile must have found out that the man was following him, so he secretly put the floppy disk in Sister Lan's bag."

"Stalking?" Yuanzi asked, "So his target is not us?"

"By the way, he must have captured old Mr. Shile and asked him about the floppy disk he put in my bag, so he came here to inquire about it." Lan said.

"Then what's the point of inquiring? Just go to your house and look for you." Yuanzi asked back, "Didn't you say he knew you?"

"This..." Lan couldn't answer for a moment.

"Same as the driver just now, Mr. Shitara didn't tell the truth." Conan said, "It probably means that he was chased so hard that he put the floppy disk in an unknown bag."

"So that's how it is," Lan said, "So, that man only knew my name by reading the writing on the glass."

"Hey?" Sonoko looked at Conan, "I can't tell, you kid who wears glasses, you don't wear glasses for nothing, you have some skills."

"That," Conan said with a dry smile, "that's what I learned from Uncle Maori." Then he changed the subject, "Sister Lan, let's call Uncle as soon as possible."

"That's right," Lan said.

A moment later, inside the Maruyama Sales Office, in front of the public telephone.

Lan took out the phone card, handed the bag to Yuanzi, and started calling.

Yuanzi took a look at the bag, then hung it on his body and went out.

"Sister Lan, by the way, how about the floppy disk?" Conan said.

"Okay, I see." Lan said, and then found that the phone was connected, and immediately told Maori about the matter here, and asked about the floppy disk.

"Okay, I see. I'll tell the police right away." Mao Li smiled. "As for the floppy disk, it's really a big incident. Wait for the news. I can't tell on the phone."

At this time, Yuanzi ran over, "It's not good, Lan, someone took your bag away."

"Huh?" Lan was taken aback.

"What happened?" Molly asked.

"Wait a minute." Lan changed the speakerphone.

Yuanzi said, "Suddenly someone came over just now and dragged Lan's bag away."

"What?" Molly asked. "Is there anything important in there?"

"Of course, my wallet, the key to our house." Lan said unhappily, "My student ID card is still in the wallet."

"Uncle, you said they found that the floppy disk was not in the bag, will they go to the office at the address on Sister Lan's student card?" Conan asked.

"I see, don't leave there, I'll send someone over right away." Mao Li hung up the phone after finishing speaking. ...

On the other side, the time is pushed forward a little, and the Metropolitan Police Department searched a class and a meeting room.

Police officer Takagi opened the door and came in, and told Mao Li and Yamazaki who were waiting here about the floppy disk, "In the floppy disk is a double account book of the Mihua Construction Company, and in the dark account there is a lot of information on fund transactions, which involves a lot of political information. The figures and clubs seem to be related to the election, and the Megure Police Department has already reported to the above."

"Really?" Maori was taken aback, "Can any old gentleman get such a thing?"

"It is very likely to be true," Police Officer Takagi said, "There is also a letter that looks like a last word. According to the above, the old man is called Shigekichi Shira, and he is an old employee of the Mihua Construction Club. He found that the recent There have been problems with the Mihua Construction Club for several years, and after a secret investigation, they discovered this, and then stole it, hoping to expose the shady scene and return the Mihua Construction Club to an upright and innocent body."

"A will?" Maori sighed, "It seems that this old Mr. Shitara is ready."

At this time, Lan called. ...

After hanging up the phone, Mori asked Police Officer Takagi, "Which police department is on duty now?"

"It's the Shiratori Police Department." Officer Takagi said, "I'll take you there."

Afterwards, Maori told the Shiratori Police Department what he heard from Lan, and then asked: "Can you transfer a few police officers to protect Lan and the others, and then take someone back with me?"

"Of course." Shiratori Police Department smiled, "I'll arrange it now."... Add a public account - just enter qdread), join now! Everyone has a prize, now immediately follow the qdread WeChat public account!)
