Chapter 720: Amuro Toru: Mr. Maori has seen through the truth
the other side.
Ever since Conan fell asleep, Kei Katatsuka has been sending messages to a number, but he never receives a reply.
She called, but got only a cold electronic voice prompt, saying that the other party's phone was turned off and could not be reached.
Kei Kenzuka hung up the phone angrily, his expression distorted.
Conan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was sleeping motionlessly with his head tilted to the side, seemingly unaware of anything.
At the same time, Yuya, who received a call from Mao Lilan, stood up suddenly, and Miyano Shiho looked at him in surprise.
He shouted into the phone, "What did you say? Conan was kidnapped? And by a murderer?"
Mao Lilan: "Yes, so we have to use Conan's detective badge and tracking glasses to find his location..."
"I understand," Youye said in a deep voice, "I'll go to the doctor's house to get a spare pair of glasses." After that, he hung up the phone, stood up and walked out.
"What happened?" Miyano Shiho grabbed her coat and chased after him to ask.
"Conan has been kidnapped by a murderer. I'm going to the doctor's house to get the tracking glasses, and then use the transmitter on the detective badge to find Conan's location."
Youya gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "That idiot, doesn't he know how to behave himself? He's so weak that he can't even deal with a little chicken..."
"...Have you charged the spare glasses?" Miyano Shiho suddenly asked, "Last time, those kids played hide-and-seek and couldn't find anyone. You used the tracking glasses to find them, but you found that they were asleep in their hiding place. I remember the glasses were almost out of battery at that time, didn't you charge them?"
"Eh?" Youye stopped for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched suddenly, "It seems... not."
The parents of the children were very anxious at the time. After Youye found the child, he was busy reporting that he was safe and sending him home. He forgot to charge the spare glasses...
He was silent for a moment, turned back into the house, found his glasses in a cabinet drawer in the living room, pressed the switch, but there was no response.
"It's completely out of power." Youye shrugged, "Forget it, let that guy fend for himself."
"Eh?" A huge question mark appeared above Miyano Shiho's head, and she looked at Yuya blankly. Isn't that your childhood friend? Is this really okay?
She said anxiously: "Don't give up, let's think of another way! It should be in time to take a taxi and track him down..."
If Conan was killed, what would happen to her research samples?
"In that case, do you want me to drive and help?" Suddenly, Subaru Okiya's voice sounded at the door.
Yuya and Miyano Shiho turned around and saw Okiya Subaru wearing an apron and cooking gloves, standing at the door with a large pot in his hand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I was just trying to share some of the soup with you, but I seemed to have heard a rather serious conversation."
He walked into the house, put the pot on the dining table, took off his apron and said, "In that case, let's act quickly. The sooner we track down something like this, the better."
···
At the same time, at Kei Katatsuka's house, Ran Mouri was anxiously waiting for Yuya to deliver the tracking glasses.
Kogoro Mori opened the bedroom window, allowing the stench in the room to dissipate somewhat.
He breathed a long sigh of relief: "This is finally better."
Mao Lilan said worriedly: "Dad, what should we do? Should we call the police?"
Maori Kogoro nodded in agreement: "That's true."
At this time, Toru Amuro, who had gone to check the house, came back.
He said with a puzzled tone: "This room is a little strange."
Maori Kogoro looked over in confusion: "What's strange about that?"
Amuro Toru quickly shared what he had discovered: "First, there were only men's shoes in the shoe cabinet, and the laundry in the laundry basket and in the closet were all men's."
Maori Kogoro couldn't help but guess: "So, the person living here is actually Miss Kei's deceased brother?"
Amuro said: "It is not completely certain yet, but the people living here should be very concerned about a case that happened a few days ago."
Maori Kogoro frowned: "A case?"
The three of them came to the living room, and Kogoro Mouri turned on the VCR and started watching the videos inside.
Mao Lilan said in surprise: "Really? These are all videos related to the bank robbery a few days ago."
Maori Kogoro added: "And this person also deliberately intercepted the footage of the bank robbery scene that was released..."
He fast-forwarded the video with the remote control. "These were just released this morning. They were the images of the three robbers captured by the bank's surveillance cameras."
"I remember the three people were a petite person, a skinny person, and a sturdy person."
"That's right," Mao Lilan nodded in agreement. She had also seen that news, although Mao Li Kogoro turned off the TV before she finished watching it. "And it also captured the scene of that sturdy man firing the gun, but the person who was shot couldn't be seen because of the angle..."
Just at this moment, Kogoro Mori pressed the play button, and the video on the screen began to play content that they did not see in the morning.
The bank employee who was shot was named Kenya Shono. His act of dissuading the robbers moved many people, so many people took the initiative to attend his memorial service and attached their photos.
Mao Lilan looked at the photo and exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this person the brother in the idle screen of Miss Kei's mobile phone? But... why is the last name different?"
One’s surname is Zhuangye and the other’s surname is Jianzhong. Are they really siblings?
Maori Kogoro also discovered the blind spot: "Isn't this very strange? If the person living here is really Miss Kei's brother, how could he record the news video that was just released this morning?"
Amuro Toru crossed his arms and speculated, “Whoever lives here, judging from the fact that all the content he recorded was about robberies, he is either a criminal fanatic or a family member of the victim seeking revenge.
But relatively speaking, it seems reasonable to infer that the owner of this place is the robber himself."
Maori Kogoro was stunned by Amuro Toru's reasoning, and nodded subconsciously: "That's true."
Amuro Toru said: "Anyway, before Yuya-kun comes, let's investigate this room as much as possible..." He walked to the door and suddenly stopped, "That being said, the only thing left to investigate is the computer in the bedroom."
Ran Mouri looked at Toru Amuro's back in surprise. He had only been out for a short while, but he had already almost finished investigating the room?
She couldn't help but chase him and whispered, "Mr. Amuro, you are obviously a very good detective, why do you want to be my father's apprentice? No matter how I look at it, you are more..."
She secretly glanced at Kogoro Mori. Although she didn't finish her words, the meaning behind them was already very obvious.
Amuro Toru smiled, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "Don't look at Mr. Maori's distressed look, I guess he has already seen through the truth, right? The reason why he allowed me to investigate is probably to test me."
"Also," his tone was a little more up and down, "whether it was the DNA incident last time or the gun suicide incident that happened in the office today, it was because of my self-righteous reasoning that the tragedy happened in the end."
If he had deduced the relationship between the two earlier from Miku Kato's abnormal behavior and the information he had, then perhaps Miku Kato would not have committed suicide;
The same thing happened in the office during the day. If he had not been so focused on reasoning and had rushed into the bathroom earlier, perhaps the man would not have committed suicide and the truth would not be as confusing as it is now.
Yuya asked me to come to Kogoro Mori to become his disciple, there must be a deeper meaning behind this.
Perhaps he wanted me to learn something from Mr. Maori, something that a detective should have but that he didn't have?
