Stay away from Conan

Chapter 326 Cinema

"Miss Moroha, you said you met the young lady at the entrance of the cinema today. When did she meet?"

After hanging up the call to Yin Tate Esuke, Gao Yuan suddenly asked Moroha immediately.

In response, Zhu Yu also quickly gave an answer:

"Just now... I passed by the cinema entrance of the building over there..."

As he spoke, Zhu Yu pointed to a commercial building not far behind him, and the words "cinema" were prominently visible on the building's roof.

"Just now?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, then thought for a moment, and then ran towards the building pointed by Zhu Yu without hesitation——

"It should be too late!"

"Hey! Wait a minute, Brother Mingzhi!"

Seeing this, Zhu Yu couldn't help but follow him, while Xiao Ai on the side looked at Gao Yuan's serious look and could only wave his hands helplessly, and together they came to the entrance of the cinema in a nearby building.

Arriving at the entrance of the cinema, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little troublesome as he saw the crowds coming and going here.

"Zhu Yu said that she saw Miss Kyoko just now, so with Miss Kyoko's conspicuous white hair, it should be easy to leave an impression on others, but there are so many people here, who among them has seen her? ?”

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan looked back at Zhu Yu who was following him and asked:

"Ms. Moroha, when you saw that young lady, were she and her husband coming out of the movie or about to go in to watch a movie?"

"It seems like we are about to enter the cinema."

Zhu Yu thought for a moment and then raised his doubts:

"What's wrong, Brother Mingzhi? From what you said on the phone just now, is there something wrong with the so-called 'husband'?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. As long as we find the person, everything will be clear!"

After confirming that the other party was about to enter the cinema just now, he should be going in to watch a movie, which means that the person should still be in the cinema.

So Gao Yuan trotted into the cinema.

When he came to the lobby and looked at the posters of various movies that were being released in the lobby, Gao Yuan's eyes were immediately attracted to one of the posters - "Detective Akiko's Case Book The Movie".

In my mind, this title happens to be one of the mystery works written by the mystery novelist Sunaga Juhei.

Judging from Takato’s own understanding of Miss Kyoko Takigami, he knew that she had already been very fond of the works of Mr. Jubei Sunaga before she lost her memory——

The movie I brought Kyoko here to watch is very likely to be this theatrical version of the movie adapted from the works of Mr. Hirubi Suunaga.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan immediately came to the counter and looked at the schedule of movies shown in each screening room of the cinema displayed on the screen above to consider which screening room they might be in now.

As a result, Xiao Ai, who had just come in, glanced at Gao Yuan who was looking at the timetable and thinking, and then came to the ticket gate as if nothing had happened, and asked the aunt who was checking the ticket about which hall a white-haired elder sister was watching a movie. After that, I immediately got the answer——

The lady with white hair and glasses is in Hall 3.

In this regard, Gao Yuan, who heard the result from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel helpless - he actually thought it was complicated.

So, Gao Yuan came to the counter and was about to buy a ticket for the movie "Detective Akiko's Casebook" in Hall 3, which was now open. However, he was told that the tickets for that show had been sold out, and it was recommended that Gao Yuan buy tickets for other theaters. .

This result is not unexpected, and Gao Yuan's purpose of buying movie tickets was to go in and find traces of Miss Kyoko. Since he couldn't buy the tickets, he could only wait at the exit of the cinema and wait until they came out after watching the movie.

Looking at the current time, according to the screening schedule, it was only more than half an hour before the curtain call of the movie in Hall 3, so Gao Yuan said to Xiao Ai who was following him with an indifferent expression:

"Xiao Ai, why don't you go back first."

"You don't have to worry about me, a little girl, walking back at night?"

Xiao Ai said so with her eyes closed, her head slightly raised, and her tone a little cold and arrogant.

In response, Gao Yuan had no choice but to smile bitterly, unable to refute, and then looked at Zhu Yu aside. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Yu said first:

"Brother Mingzhi, I'm not leaving either. I also want to know what happened to that sister... I'm very worried about her."

Seeing that neither of them planned to leave, Gao Yuan had no choice but to go to the counter and buy some drinks and popcorn. The three of them found a seat in the lobby of the cinema and sat down, waiting for the end of the movie together.

Taking advantage of this time, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and continued to browse the live broadcast of the "Japanese Detective Agency" program. As a result, what should have been a TV program has unexpectedly turned into a TV interview——

The host Takashi Matsuo was facing the camera with a sad and angry expression:

"I solemnly swear here! I will inherit Mr. Suwa's legacy and continue to serve as the host! And I will use this program to deal with this incident and do my best to hunt down the murderer!"

Seeing this, Gao Yuan could only sigh helplessly and turn off his mobile phone - it was too late, the case on the TV station had already happened.

So Gao Yuan turned his attention to his current affairs.

While waiting, Zhu Yu asked curiously:

"Brother Mingzhi, how did you meet that white-haired sister?"

"She and I met through a detective agency. We solved several cases together at that time, so we have some understanding."

Gao Yuan briefly explained, but his main attention was still on the exit of the screening room, and he was a little worried about whether they would come out early.

So Zhu Yu knew what was going on and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked closely for a topic to the little Aitao on the side. He seemed to be very interested in this little girl with the same hair color as himself.

However, Xiao Ai paid little attention to Zhu Yu's inquiry and remained silent with a cold expression. This made Zhu Yu have no choice but to give up with a wry smile after trying again and again.

"But, is it okay to just stay here? Movie theaters usually have other exits."

As the curtain call of the movie approached, Xiao Ai suddenly thought of this and said something coldly to remind Gao Yuandao.

"is that so?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but said in shock.

"Yes."

Zhu Yu also echoed, "Movie theaters usually have emergency exits."

As he said that, Zhu Yu couldn't help but asked slightly surprised:

"Brother Mingzhi didn't expect that?"

"I've never seen a movie in a cinema..."

Gao Yuan murmured something softly, and Gao Yuan couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

"Hey? Brother Mingzhi didn't go to the cinema to watch the movie? Why!"

Zhu Yu asked in surprise.

"No friend has invited me to watch a movie..."

Somewhat quietly, Gao Yuan said the reason embarrassedly, "And because I spent most of my time on my studies, I didn't have time to develop the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies."

Saying that, Gao Yuan stood up immediately:

"In this case, Miss Zhu Yu, you and Xiao Ai continue to guard here, and I will guard the other exit. If you see Miss Kyoko coming out, call me!"

After saying that, Gao Yuan came to the entrance of the cinema, looked at the floor plan of the entire cinema, and after learning the location of the other exit, he came outside the cinema and guarded the emergency exit of the cinema.

However, after the movie ended, Gao Yuan saw the flow of people coming out of the emergency exit and did not see the figure of Kyoko, but Zhu Yu made a discovery...
