Chapter 11 The First Event

"Conan?"

Xiaolan blinked: "What a strange name."

"Because my father is a fan of Conan Doyle's books, so..." Kudo Shinichi smiled awkwardly, trying to cover up the past.

"Is that so?" Xiaolan looked up thoughtfully and looked at Kudo Shinichi's face carefully.

"I always feel like you look like Shinichi."

Hearing this, Shinichi's eyes were a little evasive.

Oh no, is the truth coming out?

At this moment, Dr. Agasa clenched his left fist and hit his right hand, looking thoughtful.

"By the way, Xiaolan, excuse me, can I foster this child in your home for a while?"

………………

ten minutes later………

Dr. Agasa looked at the empty study, took out a handkerchief from his coat, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I finally managed to fool him. I was almost exposed just now." He shook his head helplessly: "What to do next depends on Shinichi's luck."

After opening the door, Dr. Agasa was surprised to find that Ze Yu was standing outside the door, looking at him with his head tilted.

"Ahem, Xiaoyu, you heard everything that happened just now, right?" Dr. Agasa pretended to cough and showed a serious expression.

"I heard it. That arrogant guy last night has now turned into a dwarf." Ze Yu looked nonchalant.

"Uh..." The doctor twitched his lips, suppressed his speechlessness, and said seriously: "You must not tell anyone about this matter, understand? Otherwise, Shinichi will be in danger!"

Seeing the doctor getting serious, Ze Yu's little face also showed a trace of solemnity, and nodded: "Doctor, don't worry, I still know the seriousness of the matter."

"What a good boy."

The serious expression on Dr. Agasa's face gradually faded, and he said with a smile: "It's so late, you should go to bed."

"No." Ze Yu shook his head: "I have to go out later."

The doctor's eyes widened, a little surprised: "Where are you going?"

"It's a secret."

Ze Yu walked up, patted Dr. Agasa's big belly, and said casually: "Doctor, you should go to bed. It's not good for the elderly to stay up all night."

Hearing his words, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but laugh.

"Forget it. I'm still strong and don't need a little guy like you to worry about me. But if you want to go out, you have to take this with you."

The doctor took out a small button-like gadget from his pocket and handed it to Ze Yu.

Seeing the other person's curious eyes, Dr. Agasa explained: "This is a micro tracker. As long as you hold this, no matter where you go, I can check your location through the computer. In this way, I won't be afraid of you getting lost."

“Huh…” Ze Yu stretched out his voice with a look of contempt.

"In this case, I will have no privacy at all. I didn't expect that you, Doctor, have such a hobby. You really know how to have fun."

"Don't look at me like that."

Dr. Agasa was almost defeated by this little guy, and said helplessly: "Anyway, no matter what, if you want to go out, you must take this with you."

"After all, you've only just arrived in Tokyo. It's easy to get lost accidentally. This is all for your own good."

Seeing that the doctor became serious again, Ze Yu knew that he couldn't get rid of this little thing, so he could only agree casually.

"Well, I see."

………………

On the other side, Mao Lilan took Kudo Shinichi, who was using the alias "Conan", around several streets and came to Mao Li Kogoro's house.

However, because a commission suddenly came to them and Kogoro Mouri was in a hurry to leave, Xiaolan and Conan took a ride along the way and successfully arrived at the client's location.

The client is a very wealthy middle-aged man, said to be the chairman of a company, and his daughter has been kidnapped.

Looking at Kogoro Mouri who came to the scene, the bearded middle-aged man spoke slowly.

"The kidnapped child is my only daughter, Tani Jingzi, who is ten years old."

"My butler Aso once saw the criminal with his own eyes..."

The middle-aged man handed a photo to Kogoro Mouri, who looked at it thoughtfully and then it was snatched away by Conan.

Conan got two plain lenses without prescription from somewhere and put them on the frames, making the fake glasses on his face look like normal glasses.

After looking at the photos, he calmly asked, "What was the situation like when you were kidnapped?"

Suddenly, he heard someone talking and the middle-aged man frowned: "Who is this child?" Maori Kogoro was shocked by Conan's behavior. He was afraid that the client would think he was unreliable, so he quickly explained: "Nothing, it's a friend's child..."

"Xiao Lan, please take good care of this child!"

Kogoro grabbed Conan by the back of his collar and brought him in front of Xiaolan.

"Then, Mr. Aso, please tell me in detail what happened at that time..."

Conan stood aside speechlessly, watching the conversation between the adults. When he felt he had found an opportunity to interrupt, he immediately asked a question.

"What are the characteristics of the prisoner?"

Kogoro Mori suddenly glared at him angrily and punched the little brat on the head.

boom!
Conan was punched for no reason and felt a little dizzy, but he still didn't give up and stood aside to eavesdrop on the adults' conversation.

After getting enough clues, Conan, who was lost in thought, walked to the side and saw a pink football on the ground. He kicked it and thought while kicking the ball.

Then, he accidentally kicked the ball away, and the football rolled to a remote corner in the yard. Conan subconsciously ran over to pick up the ball.

As a result, just as he got the football, he saw a ferocious big dog rushing out from the bushes.

"Dog?! Why is there a dog here?"

As soon as this thought appeared in Conan's mind, he was knocked down by the big dog.

………………

It was late at night and even the number of pedestrians on the streets became sparse.

A boy in a small suit was riding a big dog, searching the nearby streets.

"No, no..."

"Not here either!"

"Damn it, it's all in vain!"

Conan was panting with exhaustion, his face troubled, and he was thinking rapidly in his mind.

Suddenly, a building hidden in the night came into view and attracted his attention.

"Wait a minute, that building!"

"Could it be..."

Conan's expression gradually became serious.

He had discovered the real clue.

"Yes, that's it!"

"The school nearby that can be seen as a chimney is... Erqiao Middle School!"

………………

Erqiao Middle School, in a dark warehouse.

A tall and thin man looked out the window at the night and whispered into his phone, "Leave the money on the bench in the park. After I get it, I will let your daughter go back."

This man is the kidnapper and the real culprit in this incident.

"Let me hear Akiko's voice again!"

An anxious voice of a middle-aged man came from the phone.

"Listen to it slowly later." The tall and thin man snorted unceremoniously and hung up the phone.

After putting down his phone, the tall and thin man stared at the tied-up girl on the ground with fierce eyes like a poisonous snake.

"You are no longer useful..."

The tall and thin man took out a small knife, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The girl lying on the ground shook her head frantically and wanted to shout, but because her mouth was glued, she couldn't make any sound.

"Wait a moment!"

A panting shout came from outside the warehouse door.

"Who is it? Who's there?"

The tall and thin man was startled and put away the knife. He walked to the crack in the door, his face alert and ready to take action at any time.

At this moment, a big dog suddenly jumped out from under the door and knocked the tall and thin man down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Conan ran in.
