Stay away from Conan

Chapter 393 Empty Room

At night, in the Mori Detective Agency——

The drunk Kogoro Mori was leaning on a chair in the office of the office, sound asleep.

On the table in front of him, there were a bunch of empty beer bottles scattered around, and under the piled up empty wine bottles, there were lunch boxes that had not been eaten yet——

Since Xiaolan had something to do and didn't come back to cook tonight, Mouri Kogoro simply went to the convenience store and bought a box lunch to eat. At the same time, without Xiaolan's supervision, Moori Kogoro did not receive the commission, so he bought a lot of food without hesitation. I was short of beer and had a big drink in the office, which led to the current situation.

Regarding this, Conan just looked helpless when looking at Kogoro who was still in the office——

Originally, Conan, who had finished washing, was getting ready to go to bed, but seeing that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, Xiaolan hadn't come back yet. Conan, who was a little worried, couldn't help but change his clothes and went to the second floor. In the office of the firm, I was about to call Xiaolan to inquire, but I saw this scene in front of me.

However, just as Conan came to the desk and pushed away the beer bottles piled on the phone, before he could make a call, Conan saw the phone ringing, and the caller ID happened to be Xiaolan's mobile phone number——

"Hey! Sister Xiaolan!"

Hastily, Conan took the receiver and asked nervously.

"Hey, Conan? Where's my dad?"

The tone was urgent, and Conan could hear Xiaolan's very anxious voice.

"What happened, Sister Xiaolan?"

Conan asked without asking:

"Uncle's words... are by my side now..."

Looking at Mouri Kogoro who was sleeping on the chair, Conan could only reply helplessly.

"Hurry up! Let my dad go to Room 404 of Mihua Apartment! The sooner the better! Otherwise something will happen to Miss Yukino!"

Xiaolan finished speaking with a voice that was so anxious that she was about to cry. Conan naturally heard Xiaolan's emotions and realized the urgency of the situation, so Conan hurriedly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, looking at Kogoro Mori who was still sleeping soundly and not looking like he was about to wake up, Conan knew that he could not count on him, so he walked alone towards the rice flower apartment not far from the office. Run away——

Panting heavily, Conan rushed to the door of Mihua's apartment, arriving here earlier than everyone else.

He stood in front of the elevator door and anxiously pressed the elevator up button. But after waiting for a while, he saw that the elevator would not go down. When he was about to take the stairs, the elevator began to move downwards.

At this time, Conan glanced at the watch on his hand. It was now exactly ten thirty in the evening.

Suddenly, just as Conan was watching the number of floors displayed on the elevator about to reach the first floor, a man with an unusually ugly face rushed down from the stairs next to the elevator.

He seemed to be in a hurry and rushed out of the building from Conan's side.

"This... seems to be the teacher of the puppet classroom where Xiaolan is currently attending classes, right?"

Although Conan suddenly thought of where he had seen the man just now, when the elevator door finally opened, he had no time to think too much and rushed into the elevator.

As soon as he arrived at Room 404, although the door was closed, but recalling Xiaolan's anxious voice on the phone just now, which was so anxious that she was about to cry, he turned the doorknob without hesitation.

The door was unlocked, so Conan opened the door directly and looked in through the crack in the door——

"Is anyone here? Um..."

Conan suddenly noticed that the metal chain on the door had been cut off and was hanging precariously. A bad feeling suddenly came to his heart.

"anyone there?"

Conan opened the door wider and shouted louder inside.

However, he didn't hear any answer. Conan had no other choice but to take off his shoes at the entrance, and while observing the surrounding situation, he walked from the corridor into the living room.

"This...this is!"

On the floor of the living room, Conan saw dots and a lot of blood stains.

But at this moment, a familiar, hoarse voice came from behind Conan——

"Miss Yukino! Miss Yukino!"

Xiaolan ran into the living room without even taking off her shoes.

"Conan! Why are you here? Where is my father...have you seen Miss Yukino?"

Seeing Conan, Xiaolan opened her eyes in surprise and asked.

"this……"

Facing Xiaolan's inquiry, Conan didn't know how to explain it for a moment. After all, he was a child now, and coming here alone would probably make Xiaolan angry.

"Never mind this for now..."

Just at this time, as Gao Yuan ran into the living room, he realized that only Conan had come early, and he roughly understood the situation, so he changed the topic:

"Conan, have you seen a woman living in this room?"

Gao Yuan stepped forward and asked Conan.

In response, Conan shook his head:

"When I got here, no one was there."

As he spoke, Conan's eyes moved to the living room floor.

So, following Conan's line of sight, Gao Yuan also noticed the dotted marks on the floor——

"This... blood stain..."

Squatting down and taking a closer look, Gao Yuan frowned.

"Miss Yukino...where is Miss Yukino?"

At this time, Yuanzi, who had just ran over, was panting and holding on to the door frame, anxiously asking everyone in the house.

In response, Gao Yuan stood up and looked around the living room, and then checked all the rooms to make sure that there was no figure of Izumo Yukino in the room, and his expression couldn't help but become a little solemn——

"Xiaolan, what's going on? You said there was an emergency and asked me to come over."

Soon, the voice of Officer Takagi Wataru came from the entrance:

"Ah? Mr. Akechi is here too?"

Takagi She was surprised to see everyone in the living room, so Xiaolan explained the whole incident to Takagi She who didn't know the reason.

After listening to the narration, Takagi Wataru was shocked. He immediately knew that this was a problem that he could not handle alone, so he directly chose to report it.

After a while, Officer Megure and Officer Miwako Sato arrived at the scene in a police car with the siren blaring.

"So, that means that during the video call between you guys, Ms. Izumo Yukino was attacked by the famous doll maker Kubo Kensuke, right?"

Officer Memu, who had a round face and a mustache, asked everyone. Xiaolan and Yuanzi nodded heavily, but Gao Yuan did not give a positive answer——

After all, Kukensuke does not appear directly in the video.

"It's unbelievable! I've watched a TV program introducing Mr. Kubo, and he seems to be such a gentle person."

Sato Miwako showed a surprised expression and said in disbelief.

"But in fact that's not the case at all. Kubo is a very despicable and shameless guy!"

Sonoko showed an expression of disgust and said vently.

In response, Officer Megure ignored Sonoko's emotions, but turned to Gao Yuan and confirmed:

"Brother Akechi, the next thing is, Miss Izumo Yukino said that Kubo is here, so she walked away from this computer, right?"

Officer Megure asked, looking at the laptop still intact on the table.

…

At the same time, in the study room of Akechi House, Xiao Ai, sitting in front of the computer, was carefully saving the complete record of the previous video chat between Gao Yuan and the others and Izumo Yukino.

It seems that out of guilt for what she did to Gao Yuan yesterday, Xiao Ai was very serious about helping Gao Yuan. At the same time, she also carefully reread the entire video chat. Maybe this can help. Help Gaoyuan.

However, as the video timeline progressed, Xiao Ai, who had originally focused on the young lady in the video, suddenly noticed something and couldn't help but pause the video, and then looked at the girl on the cabinet behind Izumo Yukino in the screen. Doll enlargement——

"This...this is..."

After looking at it carefully for a moment, Xiao Ai's eyes suddenly widened, as if he saw something from this doll...
