Chapter 184 Respective Actions

"Really!"

Letting go of Kudo Shinichi, Mouri Kogoro rushed to Gao Yuan to ask for confirmation, and Kudo Shinichi also ran up anxiously.

"It should be right."

Gao Yuan affirmed, "I just went to see the corpse of the so-called 'Maori classmate' and found that it was someone else's corpse that had been carefully made up."

"In other words, the real Xiaolan should still be alive! Right!"

Mouri Kogoro said excitedly.

"But this means that the real Xiaolan is still in the hands of the murderer!"

When Kudo Shinichi heard Takato's narration, his anxiety was relieved, and then he began to think.

"Then we have to rescue Xiaolan quickly!"

Mouri Kogoro said anxiously.

"But I have no clue what the whole thing is about."

Kudo Shinichi said helplessly.

"So, what happened to you since last night?"

Gao Yuanfa asked.

"have no idea."

Mouri Kogoro said, "We were about to eat, but suddenly we lost consciousness. When we woke up, we found that we were locked in a closed white room."

“In that white room, there was someone who claimed to be a fan of mine and posted a challenge to me on the wall.”

Kudo Shinichi began to explain:

Dark, strange—

When Kudo Shinichi opened his eyes, he was a little overwhelmed by the dark environment around him. There was only a faint light shining from the top of his head, allowing him to see a small area around him clearly:

"Where is this place?"

With this thought in mind, Kudo Shinichi was about to get up from the cold floor, but the sudden resistance on his left hand made him stop. There seemed to be a metal ring on his left wrist, and The force coming from the iron ring hindered his movement to get up.

Turning around, Kudo Shinichi found that his hands were handcuffed, and on the other end of the handcuffs was another person's hand. Although the light was dim, Kudo Shinichi immediately recognized the familiar figure. who.

"Xiaolan! Hey! Xiaolan!"

Kudo Shinichi immediately leaned down and shouted urgently, "Wake up, Xiaolan!"

While shaking Mao Lilan who fell to the ground and helping her up, Kudo Shinichi looked anxious.

"Shinichi?"

This action had an effect. In a daze, Mao Lilan woke up, looked at Kudo Shinichi in front of him, and said with a little doubt.

Suddenly, another light shone from the ceiling, reflecting behind the two people. Looking along the light, they found that in the corner of the room, Mouri Kogoro was leaning against the wall, unconscious.

"dad!"

Seeing Maori Kogoro, Maori Lan shouted in surprise.

"Even Uncle Mori!"

Kudo Shinichi was surprised.

Seemingly hearing the voices of the two people, Mouri Kogoro slowly opened his eyes, but looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, he couldn't help but stand up in surprise: "Ah! Where is this place?"

It was at this time that a burst of strong white light lit up, completely illuminating the entire room. This time the three of them discovered that the room they were in was a sealed space with white walls on all sides!

"Shinichi, what's going on?"

Mao Lilan looked around suspiciously, and asked uneasily. At the same time, he raised his right hand, and because of the handcuffs, he also raised Kudo Shinichi's left hand: "And this, what's going on?"

With that said, Mao Lilan found that her mobile phone was still on her body. When she took it out, it showed that there was no signal.

"I can't figure it out either."

Kudo Shinichi said quickly, "I remember that I was not at Xiaolan's house before..."

Halfway through, Kudo Shinichi suddenly noticed a note taped to the wall nearby.

I walked over and took it off and found that it was a letter written in printed font. The content was:

"Dear Mr. Shinichi, I am your fan and have always followed you. You are a great detective, and this white room is a New Year's gift to you. Please enjoy it."

"What the hell!"

Mao Lilan said.

"No clue at all."

Kudo Shinichi thought and said, "The only thing that is certain is that we should be kidnapped."

"Who is it? What is his purpose? What should we do?"

Mao Lilan asked in confusion, but Kudo Shinichi was lost in thought and didn't know what to say.

"You should say something! Detective boy!"

In this regard, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but said.

As he was talking, suddenly a mechanism on a white wall was opened, and a display screen was revealed from the opened wall.

The display screen shows a date and several spaces, and below the display screen, there is a keyboard.

"This date..."

Looking at the display, Kudo Shinichi thought thoughtfully, "I remember that I solved a murder case that day."

…

"In this way, based on the date on the screen, I recalled the cases solved that day, found the keywords and filled them in the blanks on the screen, so that I could enter the new room."

Kudo Shinichi explained to Takato.

"In this way, we kept entering new rooms and repeatedly recalling the cases on the corresponding dates. Later, in order to help Xiaolan and the others get the key to unlock the handcuffs, I was locked in a separate room and lost my mind. consciousness."

Mouri Kogoro said and looked at Kudo Shinichi.

"Afterwards, Xiaolan and I entered several more rooms. In the last room, we both lost consciousness. When we woke up, we were here."

Kudo Shinichi said.

"I have no clue."

After listening to the two people's narratives, Gao Yuan thought and said, "But the murderer must know you very well. He even knows the dates of the cases you solved. This is not an ordinary 'fan'!"

In response, Kudo Shin nodded.

"I really have no clue now. What did the murderer mean when he left this note to me?"

Taking out the note from his pocket and handing it to Takato, Kudo Shinichi said.

"Is there anything important left at the scene?"

Gao Yuan looked at the text above and thought in confusion. Suddenly an idea flashed, "You just said that when he was locked in the white room, classmate Maori had his cell phone on him, right?"

"That's right. Our mobile phones should have been taken away by the murderer, but Xiaolan..."

Speaking of this, Kudo Shinichi immediately realized something and began to search around, and soon found Mao Lilan's flip phone in a corner!

"It's Xiaolan's cell phone!"

Kudo Shinichi picked it up and said.

"Xiaolan's..."

Mouri Kogoro also immediately stepped forward and said excitedly.

Walking forward and looking at the location where Kudo Shinichi found the phone, Takato suddenly raised doubts.

"However, the police searched here at that time..."

Before he finished speaking, Mao Lilan's cell phone rang. Kudo Shinichi immediately opened the phone and looked at the note on the caller ID as "Real Murderer". He hurriedly answered the phone and turned on the speakerphone at the same time.

"Hello?"

Tentatively, Kudo Shinichi asked aloud.

"Kudo Shinichi, I have a piece of news for you."

On the other end of the phone, a processed, mechanized voice rang.

"Who are you? What is your purpose!"

Kudo Shinichi asked.

"The real Mao Lilan is at the Mihuaxi Police Station at the moment. However, if you can't find her before 16 p.m., she will really go to the autopsy table! You can use your hands to save your important life. People? Hahahaha!”

On the other end of the phone, although the voice was processed and mechanized, you could still hear the other party's pride.

"However, you can't tell the police about this. At the same time, the detective in blue clothes beside you can't come with you - otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

After saying this, the other party hung up the phone.

"Sixteen o'clock in the afternoon?"

After looking at the time, Kudo Shinichi hurriedly said:

"Well, Uncle Mouri! Let's hurry up!"

"oh!"

Mouri Kogoro agreed.

"Mr. Mingzhi, thank you very much for telling us that Xiaolan is not dead this time, but leave the rest to me!"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Takato and said.

"fine."

Gao Yuan said calmly, "You should hurry up and rescue classmate Maori. I actually have a clue to track down here, and I hope it can help you."

After saying that, the three of them took action separately.

At the same time, in an office, a dark figure was sitting in front of the computer, wearing headphones and listening to the recording.
