Stay away from Conan

Chapter 183 Gathering at the dock

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

Takagi Wataru pointed at the face uncovered by Gao Yuan and let out three consecutive exclamations. He was obviously stunned by the scene in front of him.

"Although I have heard that a thief being hunted by the Second Investigation Division has superb cross-dressing skills that can imitate others at will, this is the first time I have actually seen it! It's just like Lupine the Third!"

Miwako Sato also said in surprise.

"If……"

Takagi Sheba was surprised, "If this body is not Miss Xiaolan, doesn't that mean..."

"Mouri-kun, you should still be alive!"

Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relieved smile.

"Then, we have to hurry up and catch the murderer as soon as possible and rescue the real Xiaolan!"

Miwako Sato said seriously, "Mr. Akechi, do you have any suggestions for the next step?"

"I think you can investigate the true identity of this corpse and its origin. Other than that, I don't have any better ideas for the time being."

Gao Yuan said.

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Takagi Wataru said, immediately left and began to investigate.

"However, this mask is really exquisitely made."

Taking the mask with hair from Takato, Sato Miwako exclaimed, "Even the forensic doctor didn't notice it. I didn't expect Mr. Akechi to be able to see it!"

"Because, I really don't believe that Mori-san will die."

Gao Yuan said calmly - because he didn't believe that Mao Lilan would really die, he had to find flaws in the "corpse" in front of him no matter what.

At the same time, because of my relationship as a "magician", I have a deep understanding of the knowledge of "disguise". Although I can't do it myself, if I just see whether others are disguised, I can't do the same thing just now. With careful attention, you can still barely find some clues——

However, I have to say that this makeup look is really fake, and even the junction between the fake mask and the real face is so seamless.

In this regard, after listening to Takato's words, Miwako Sato nodded.

"Well, Mr. Mingzhi, let's go investigate first. If there is any other progress, I will contact you."

With that said, Miwako Sato also left.

After the two police officers left, Gao Yuan naturally could not stay alone in the corpse placement area of ​​the police station, so he chose to leave Mihuaxi Police Station first.

I really didn’t expect to encounter such an incident on the first day of the new year.

Although it was confirmed that Mao Lilan was definitely still alive, there were no more clues other than that. I originally thought that there might be something wrong with the medical examiner and deliberately described the undead Mao Lilan as dead, but now it seems that this is no longer true.

We must find new clues!

At this time, in an office, a dark figure was sitting in front of the computer, leisurely watching the surveillance video of the corpse placement area.

However, when the man in the blue trench coat in the picture suddenly reached out and took off the wig and mask from the corpse's head, the black figure suddenly sat up and reached out to press the pause button of the video. Freeze the image.

Then he picked up a photo of Akechi Gaoyuan on the table, stared at it, and showed an expression of gritted teeth——

Sure enough, your presence will interfere with my plan!

Thinking like this, Heiying's hand holding the photo suddenly squeezed it hard and crumpled the photo of Mingzhi Gaoyuan into a ball...

Not far from the Mihua West Police Station, among the trees——

Kudo Shinichi hid here, watching police cars blaring sirens outside and driving out of the police station in order to find him. In response, Kudo Shinichi hid here for a while, and waited until the police cars were far away before emerging from the trees, observing the surroundings, and looking for an opportunity to leave.

After carefully walking for a while, a white stretched Lincoln suddenly drove up from behind and parked next to Kudo Shinichi.

"Shinichi, what's wrong?"

The rear window was rolled down, and Suzuki Sonoko stuck her head out and asked with some confusion, "Have you been involved in another case?"

"By the way! Sonoko! I have something to ask you!"

Seeing that the other party was Sonoko Suzuki, Kudo Shinichi was relieved and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Don't ask any more questions. Can you take me to the Rice Flower Dockyard? Please!"

Seeing Kudo Shinichi's anxious look, Suzuki Sonoko felt confused.

At this time, a siren sounded from nearby, and Kudo Shinichi immediately squatted down subconsciously and leaned against the car to hide his figure.

"Could it be that, Shinichi, you are being chased by the police?"

Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko was surprised.

"Please, please!"

Kudo Shinichi said.

In this regard, Suzuki Sonoko did not hesitate, opened the door and let Kudo Shinichi get in the car.

"Although I don't know what case you were involved in, you must explain it to me carefully after everything is resolved."

After sending Kudo Shinichi to the door of Mihua Shipyard, Suzuki Sonoko said.

"Well, thanks."

Kudo Shinichi said as he looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who was wearing a luxurious kimono and preparing to go to Hatsuyama today.

Then he got out of the car without hesitation and returned to the place where he was found by the police.

Looking at the circle of white lines drawn on the ground where Maori Ran was found, Kudo Shinichi took out a piece of paper from his pocket, with printed text on it saying: "Disappointing, Detective" , you forgot something very important at the scene!”

Regarding this, Kudo Shinichi had a lot of thoughts——

What on earth had I forgotten?

It was obvious that the person who put this note into my pocket was a prisoner. What was his purpose?

Thinking like this, Kudo Shinichi squatted down and looked at the circle of white lines with a sad expression - "Xiaolan!"

"hateful!"

Without any clue, Kudo Shinichi stood up angrily and shouted, "What on earth do you mean!"

It was at this time that a figure approached Kudo Shinichi from behind——

Then, subconsciously, he turned around and kicked the opponent to the ground!

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Mouri Kogoro was kicked to the ground and wailed, "Idiot, it's me!"

"I'm sorry! Detective Mori, are you okay?"

Seeing that the other person was Mouri Kogoro, Kudo Shinichi immediately stepped forward to help him up.

"How did Detective Mori get out of the white room?"

After Kudo Shinichi helped Mouri Kogoro up, he suddenly asked.

"have no idea."

Mouri Kogoro said, "I didn't know when I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was lying on a bench in the park. There was a note on it, saying that I could see you and Xiaolan as long as I came here. Here we are." , I saw a lot of police..."

As he spoke, Mouri Kogoro paused, staring at Kudo Shinichi with a serious expression:

"Hey! It's a lie! It must be a lie that Xiaolan died!"

Speaking of this, Mouri Kogoro choked up.

"my daughter……"

He wanted to say something, but couldn't. Then he continued to ask: "Tell me quickly! It's a lie!"

hysterical.

"Only seventeen years old! Why does my seventeen-year-old daughter have to die! Why!"

Unable to control his emotions, Mouri Kogoro stepped forward and grabbed Kudo Shinichi's shoulders and said, "Answer me! Detective boy!"

Kudo Shinichi seemed guilty and couldn't say a word.

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro felt endless grief and anger, and he didn't know where to vent it. Looking at Kudo Shinichi in front of him, he only felt his own incompetence——

"Ah! You are indeed here, Kudo-san, Detective Mori."

At this moment, Gao Yuan's voice came from beside the two of them. They looked at the sound and saw Akechi Gao Yuan slowly walking towards them.

"Don't be sad yet! Because, Maori-san is probably not dead yet!"

Seeing the expressions of the two people at this moment, Gao Yuan still stated this fact directly.
