177. No one in the mountains
On the way to the destination.
"Well, it's really a big consortium." Hattori Heiji touched the leather seat and smacked his tongue.
"It's okay." Chen Xing smiled.
In the back of the car, Ran Mori couldn't help but say, "Is it true that you said the case of Shinichi's reasoning wrong?"
"That person said that." He Ye touched his chin and said, "The specific situation was not explained in the letter, but he just wanted to meet and talk."
Hattori Heiji turned his baseball cap and said with a smile: "Because of this, I plan to use this reasoning error as a springboard to investigate from scratch and thoroughly find out the truth about the murder."
After saying that, he even looked at a primary school student wearing a mask provocatively.
--Conan wore a mask today. When he saw through Kidd's trick last night, he caught a cold on the roof of the building, causing a cold.
Hattori Heiji suddenly said, "But I have sent an email to Kudo for this matter, maybe that guy will come too."
After hearing this, Ran Maori's face turned red inexplicably: Shinichi will come too?
He smiled and joked, "Xiaolan, why are your face blushing?"
"Ah, there is no one." Maori Ran stumbling.
Chen Xing glanced at the people around him and asked, "How could that letter be sent to you?"
"Is this still necessary? Of course it's because I'm Kudo's good friend." Hattori Heiji teased: "Who makes you not famous?"
Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "Even if the other party wants to write a letter or call Kudo, he is not the person living in that house now, so he sends the letter to you, who is also a high school detective, right?"
Hattori Heiji choked and said, "I've been with Kudo for a long time. Are you so choking now when you talk?"
Conan: No, this is actually his personality.
Ran Maori wondered: "Have you been with Shinichi for a long time?"
"Ah, I mean they will contact us online." Hattori Heiji hurriedly covered up.
Chen Xing glanced at him and thought that the most unstable factor that might lead to the exposure of Conan's identity was perhaps not Gin and others, but this kid.
"But what reasoning is wrong?" Maori Ran murmured to himself.
Keiyuki saw what Hattori Heiji said to Conan in the chat room last night. The letter was sent by a Mr. Makoto Yada, a place called Higashi Otoricho, outside Otoricho. This person was a young man in the village that helped Conan when he was investigating a murder case last time.
In fact, it’s not just Conan. Even he and Hattori Heiji don’t think that his reasoning in the case will be wrong. After all, he hasn’t made any mistakes in his past for so long.
But this is undoubtedly a concern.
Although it was not good to think so, Chen Xing was still very curious. If he really found that there was something wrong with the reasoning, the expression of the always confident detective would be so exciting.
...
Outside the outskirts of Ohoe Town, there is a remote village and a service ground (the offices in the village).
"What, you said he was missing, is it true?" Hattori Heiji said in disbelief.
The staff of the resident class nodded and said, "Yes, I applied for the cooperation about half a year ago. Moreover, because Makoto has always been looking forward to life in big cities, people in the village said that he would have left his hometown and went to Tokyo to work. By the way, is there anything you have to do with Makoto Yada?"
Hattori Heiji frowned and said, "We received a letter from him last week. He said that Kudo, who helped solve the murder case in this village a year ago, had a mistake in reasoning. He said he wanted to have a face-to-face conversation."
"Who did you just talk about?" the staff member said subconsciously.
Hattori Heiji said: "He said he wanted me to bring Shinichi Kudo..."
Before he finished speaking, the tip of the pencil used by the staff was poking it off, and the expressions of the people around him became very strange. He was alert and disgusted when he looked at them.
"What's wrong?" He Ye whispered.
A child immediately pointed at her and shouted, "Scammer, you are all accomplices of that liar!"
"Scammer?" and Ye opened their mouths.
The staff slapped the table suddenly and said coldly: "Anyway, if you want to ask about the case, go to the police station in the village. No one here has anything to say to you."
After walking out of the battleground of Dongaosui Village, Ye was still thinking about what he had just said, "Xiaolan, have you heard Shinichi mention anything related?"
Ran Mori shook his head and suddenly wondered: "Strange, where is Conan? Where has he been?"
"He just said he would go back to the hotel first." Chen Xing said.
"Is the cold worsening again?" Maori Ran worried, "Then I'm going back to the hotel, too, I'm not sure he's there alone."
As she said that, she hurried to the hotel she had rented before.
Hattori Heiji shrugged, "Why is that guy afraid of going to the scene, I pointed out the wrong reasoning in person, and felt embarrassed, so I was embarrassed?"
But Chen Xing thought of the envelope that had been exposed from Conan's pocket before, and asked immediately: "Is there anything else to say in the letter sent by Makoto Yada?"
"It's gone." Hattori Heiji said, "But he probably has something else he wants to tell Kudo, it's all in another letter."
"Another letter?"
"Yes, Makoto Yada sent two letters, one for me, asking me to notify Kudo, and the other for him." Hattori Heiji said, suddenly stunned, "No way..."
"It's very likely." Chen Xing nodded silently.
--It is very likely that the other party made a request to meet in private in the letter, and with Conan's often alone, he naturally would not tell them, but chose to go alone.
Hattori Heiji frowned, "Let's go back to the hotel to take a look first, maybe I'm just thinking too much."
But the result is exactly as Chen Xing said, Conan did not return to the hotel.
"I asked people in the village and they said they saw a little boy wearing glasses walking into the forest alone." Maori Ran said with concern.
"Try calling his cell phone." He Ye said.
"The phone can't receive signals here." Chen Xing said.
He had already used to checking his cell phone when he came because it was too remote in the suburbs.
"Conan is still having a severe cold." Ran Mori said worriedly.
Chen Xing comforted: "Let's go and find it."
The sunset, in the mountains, in the dense forest.
"Conan, where are you?" shouted Mori Ran.
"Why don't we look for it separately?" He Ye suggested.
"No." Hattori Heiji said immediately.
"Eh?" and Ye were stunned.
"Hatsuke is worried about you." Chen Xing said, "There is no signal in the mountains. This is the first time we have come here. He is afraid that you will get lost."
He Ye smiled immediately.
Cecium and Hattori Heiji looked at each other, and they were both a little solemn.
Although Conan is sometimes reckless, he is not an ignorant person. Now that time has passed so long, he should have come back. Now it seems that he must have encountered some trouble.
