Chapter 650 The Disappearance of Toru Amuro
Maori Kogoro looked at the two people's backs as they walked away and said, "It seems that they have nothing to do with the red T-shirts."
Mao Lilan nodded in agreement: "That's right."
Conan walked up to the clerk, tilted his head and asked, "Did the older sister ask anything else besides the hat?"
The clerk said, "Yes, she asked several times if there was a man with a burn on the right side of his face who wanted to buy a hat like this."
The man with burns on the right side of his face?
Conan and Yuya were shocked and looked at each other.
Yuya narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that Judy saw that man at the bank that day, and judging from her behavior at that time, that man was most likely "Akai Shuichi".
But why didn't either of them see it?
Was it intentional on the part of the other party, or did they really not notice?
While the two were thinking, Maori Kogoro looked around and sighed helplessly: "There is nothing we can ask here, let's go to other stores."
"Conan, it's time for us to go!" Ran Mouri shouted at Conan.
"Ah, here it comes!" Conan chased after him with his short legs and exchanged glances with You before leaving.
"Yuya, who is the person that Teacher Judy is looking for?" Miyano Shiho asked in a low voice, "From the look of her, could she be someone from the organization?"
Youye touched his chin and said, "It's not certain yet. I'll tell you the details after we get back. It's not very convenient here."
Miyano Shiho nodded obediently: "We have almost finished shopping, shall we go back?"
Youya hummed, raised his feet and prepared to leave, but suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the clerk.
He thought for a moment, walked up to the clerk and asked, "Well, I want to ask, there has never been a man with a burn on the right side of his face who came here to buy things. Then has there ever been a man with short blond hair and wheat-colored skin?"
The clerk recalled and said uncertainly: "There was a similar person who came here before. But he was wearing a hat at the time, so I'm not sure if he had short hair. Ah, but there was a little hair showing under the hat, and I could see clearly that it was blond."
"As for the skin... When he paid, I saw that the skin on his hands was indeed wheat-colored."
Yuya's eyes flickered, and a bold guess suddenly popped up - could it be that...
"Let's go home."
After the two left, Subaru Okiya came out from the corner.
He first glanced in the direction where Youya left, then walked up to the clerk and said, "Can I ask you something?"
After hearing Okiya Subaru's question, the clerk held his cheek and said in confusion: "You asked the same question as the young man just now..." and repeated the question he had just answered.
"I see. Thank you so much." Okiya Subaru nodded slightly, then left with his hands in his pockets.
The clerk looked at Okiya Subaru's back as he left and muttered, "What's going on today? There are so many strange customers."
···
Yuya and Miyano Shiho didn't stop, but went straight to the underground parking lot and drove away.
"Can you talk to me now?" Miyano Shiho asked, looking at the road ahead.
Yuya nodded and recounted the story of how "Akai Shuichi" appeared.
"What? How is this possible?! He's not..." Miyano Shiho widened her eyes in shock. She immediately understood something. "Could it be that they suspected that Akai Shuichi was not dead, so they deliberately sent someone to disguise as him to test him?"
"It's hard to say. It's been a while since the incident happened. Logically, there's no need to test it again." Youye frowned, "And you just heard that the person who went to buy the hat..."
A figure flashed through Miyano Shiho's mind, and she said in a daze: "Is it him? But why, he is not..."
Yuya: "I don't understand why he did this. As for whether it has anything to do with them... Tsk, there is too little information right now, so I can't be sure."
Miyano Shiho slowed down the car and suddenly asked, "So, do you want to go take a look?"
Youya was stunned for a moment, then looked up and found a detective agency not far ahead.
Youye pondered for a while and said, "...We can give it a try."
Miyano Shiho parked the car and was about to get out with Yuya, but was stopped.
"You stay in the car, I'll go alone." Yuya said.
Miyano Shiho was a little worried: "But..."
You also shook his head: "The other party knows your true identity. If you go, there might be complications."
Miyano Shiho fell silent, and finally nodded helplessly: "Then be careful."
Yuya smiled and patted Miyano Shiho's head: "Don't worry, he has no ill will towards me, I will be fine."
Yuya got out of the car and walked through the crowd to the door of the office.
He looked up and saw the name "Amuro Detective Agency" written on the sign on the door.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, I was surprised to find that it was locked.
"Is he not here?" Youya frowned slightly. Only then did he realize that he didn't have Toru Amuro's contact information.
The two previous times we went on a commission together, we left on the spot; and that time at the police cemetery, we didn't even think of exchanging contact information.
Just then, a man walked out of the coffee shop next door.
Yuya took a look and recognized it as the store manager, so he walked over and asked, "Manager, long time no see."
The store manager looked over with some surprise and immediately smiled: "It's you, long time no see. I saw you on the news, you are so awesome, you even subdued the bank robbers!" As he said that, he also gave You a thumbs up.
Youya smiled sheepishly: "It's not a big deal... By the way, I see the office is closed..."
The store manager glanced at the Amuro Detective Agency and showed a puzzled expression: "Oh, you mean Mr. Amuro. I haven't seen him for a while, and I don't know what he is doing recently."
"He said before that he had to go out of town for a commission, and I haven't seen him since. If I hadn't seen the office was still there, I would have thought he had closed it."
You was also stunned: "He never opened the door?"
The store manager nodded: "Yeah, I find it strange too."
"When did he go out of town?"
The store manager pinched his chin and recalled: "It seems to be... two weeks ago?"
Youye frowned slightly. Two weeks ago... this vague time point, he couldn't be sure when it was?
"Was there any news on TV at that time?"
The store manager was stunned: "If you ask me that, I can't remember it for a moment... Oh, by the way, speaking of it, there seemed to be several big commotions a few days after Mr. Amuro left, and the hospital was full at the time!"
"Big commotion? Hospitals are full?" Yuya's eyes flickered. "Is it the toxic gas leak, food poisoning, or fire?"
The store manager nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right, it was before that. Hey, who would have thought that such a big accident would happen? Is this country safe or not..."
Yuya pinched his chin and fell into thought.
In other words, Toru Amuro left Beika Town or Tokyo when they were fighting with the organization for Rena Mizunashi.
No wonder the members of the organization that showed up at that time were still those old acquaintances.
