Stay away from Conan

Chapter 81 Shirley

"That's right, Akechi Takato, that's that person's name. He lives at No. 20, 2-chome, Mikka-cho, Tokyo."

On the other end of the phone was Hirota Masami's voice, which seemed a little happy and her tone of voice was very cheerful.

"I see."

The girl with short brown hair tasted the name carefully, and seemed to be unable to find any connection with the name in her mind, so she replied calmly.

"But, sister, I've never seen your phone number before."

"Of course, this is the number of my new apartment."

Hirota Masami smiled and replied, "Don't tell others, it's a secret."

Then after a pause, Hirota Masami teased: "But, Shiho, if you are really interested in this detective, my sister has no objection!"

"No, sister."

In a calm tone, the girl said, "If there is nothing else, I will hang up first."

"Wait a minute, Shiho!"

Hirota Masami said, "I asked a detective to help me investigate the address you gave me."

"Wait a minute! Detective!"

Hearing this, the girl suddenly panicked.

Seemingly hearing the reason for the girl's panic, Hirota Masami immediately tried to persuade her: "Don't worry! I hired a detective with extremely high confidentiality. He can only retain the memory for one day, and will forget it the next day. The 'forgetting detective' about what happened the day before!"

"Can I only keep my memory for one day?"

The girl murmured and thought, and then she thought of - Goodfield Syndrome! A condition in which short-term memories are not converted into long-term memories during sleep.

If so, he is indeed a very secretive detective!

So, the girl finally felt at ease and said, "So, what is the result of the investigation?"

"Fire."

Masami Hirota suddenly became serious.

"The detective investigated and found that a fire broke out at the home at that address not long ago. After investigation, the police determined that the cause of the fire was an accident caused by a gas leak, so no case was filed at all."

"Were any bodies found at the fire scene?"

The girl heard what Masami Hirota meant and asked nervously.

"Yes. Among the ruins of the fire, the police only found a body that was burned to charcoal. At that time, there was only one person living in the house, so the body was naturally identified as that person."

Masami Hirota said still seriously, "Later, the local villagers' association issued a death certificate for that association and the body was cremated."

After a pause, Hirota Masami asked seriously: "Hey, Shiho. With such a method of destroying corpses and eradicating traces, is it possible that that person was organized..."

After hearing what Hirota Masami said, the girl fell into deep thought at the moment: People killed by APTX4869 look no different from natural death. In other words, there is no need to destroy the body and eliminate traces! So, what happened to the fire! However, if you have to say it, it doesn't seem impossible.

"Shiho? What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that the girl didn't respond for a long time, Hirota Masami asked slightly anxiously.

"No, it's okay."

The girl said calmly in a slightly lazy tone, "It's already very late. I'll hang up first, sister."

After saying that, the girl hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, listening to the girl's last voice, Hirota Masami smiled happily - it seemed that everything was indeed fine.

After hanging up the phone, the girl showed a solemn expression.

In APTX4869's medication list, the word "death" will not be casually filled in before the death of the person is thoroughly confirmed. In other words, the person who administered the medicine must have confirmed his death before he was put on the list.

But if that’s the case, it’s so strange why it was set on fire!

Recalling the detective named "Akechi Takato" whom she met in the parking lot of the Mihua Municipal Building, and the results of computer face comparison, two possibilities appeared in the girl's mind: they just looked too similar but They are indeed two completely different people, or he deceived the drugged organization members and faked his death to escape!

Thinking of this, the girl no longer has any doubts - then, wise and lofty, who are you!

Of course, there is no answer to this question. After all, it should be impossible for him to contact this detective.

Moreover, can that careless and arrogant guy really do this? The profession of detective is completely incompatible with him.

Thinking like this, the girl seemed to have made a judgment and was ready to rest.

But the sudden ringing of the email ring made the girl's expression change slightly, and she immediately opened the email and started reading.

"Four days later...Mermaid Island...Dugong Celebration...investigation of Changshou Po...joint operators..."

The girl murmured the important information in the email, but after seeing the last two names, the girl still frowned slightly, showing a look of disgust.

At the same time, two men in black clothes and black hats had just walked into a bar with a slightly classical decoration. Apart from the bartenders, the two men in black were the only guests. .

The two of them sat at the bar. The taller man among them said to the silver-haired man next to him: "Does such a thing really exist like the bones of a mermaid?"

"have no idea."

The man with long silver hair said coldly, "This is not our mission anyway."

"Huh? Then what are we going to do?"

The burly man was a little confused.

"Oh, even a great man who once covered the sky with one hand still cannot resist the torrent of time."

The silver-haired man said this with emotion, but coldly, and then said coldly.

"You know, that island became famous because of the appearance of mermaid bones two years ago. As a result, many big shots went to the island last year. And our goal is to record the list of those big shots!"

After a pause, he showed a smile, "As for the mermaid bones or the immortal people, that's what little girls do!"

At this time, the bartender came up and asked what they wanted to drink. The silver-haired man thought for a while and showed a sly smile:

"Just have a glass of 'Shirley'!"

At eleven o'clock in the evening, under the Ekoda Bell Tower, Gao Yuan and Koizumi Anko came here.

At this time, people had gathered under the clock tower. They raised their hands and shouted the name of "Kid" loudly, probably to support the Kaitou Kid.

Looking at such a scene, Gao Yuan was a little helpless, but he still followed Koizumi Hongzi and squeezed into the front of the crowd. Then Gao Yuan saw a girl who looked exactly like Mao Lilan, holding up a sketchbook with writing on it. The words "Against Kidd" and the words "Kidd, get back here" were shouted there, which seemed particularly out of place in this crowd.

But Takato knew that she was Nakamori Aoko, the daughter of police officer Nakamori Ginzo and Kuroba Kaito's childhood sweetheart.

"What he wants to steal is the clock on this clock tower. What do you think? Is there any way you can help him?"

Koizumi Anko pointed to the clock on the clock tower and asked, "Or, do you have any way to stop the 'Demon of Light'?"
