Chapter 244 The Missing Novelist
Seeing that Genta couldn't remember the full name of the detective novelist, Conan couldn't help but add: "His name is 'Shinname Rentaro'."

"Oh, I remember now." Yuan Tai hammered his palm and said with sudden realization: "But it seems that he hasn't continued to write novels for a long time."

"But a few days ago, he started writing novels again." Conan smiled happily: "It's not a new novel, but a new chapter of the classic work "Detective Samonji" from that year."

"Thinking back carefully, the time when I was a kid chasing Detective Samonji is still vivid in my mind. It really makes me miss it."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Conan.

Yuantai and others expressed doubts, while Zeyu and others had strong doubts.

Can you do it, kid?
Haibara Ai had a feeling that if Conan didn't keep his big mouth shut, sooner or later even passers-by on the street would know his identity.

Sooner or later, Haibara Ai will be implicated.

It really makes people want to beat Conan up and teach him a lesson.

"Conan is saying something weird again." Ayumi said a little confused, as if she was surprised by Conan's train of thought.

"I'm just kidding..." Conan smiled shyly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Ze Yu looked at Conan with disdain, then seemed to remember something and muttered to himself: "Speaking of which, that kid Xinming..."

Jingle Bell……

At this moment, the school bell rang, interrupting his words.

Ze Yu immediately changed the subject, started packing up his schoolbag and put it on his back: "Everyone, school is over, let's go home."

Conan looked at Ze Yu with a little confusion.

The boy named 'Niina' that Xiaoyu just mentioned, could it be Niina Rentaro?
From this perspective, could it be that the two of them have been friends who knew each other for a long time?

However, Ze Yu stopped talking halfway through, and there were too few clues, so Conan could only guess.

By the way, Ze Yu has a wide circle of friends, so it is normal for him to know a detective novelist.

Conan’s father is also a very famous detective novelist. Isn’t he also an old friend of Sawaha?

…………

night.

Maori Detective Agency.

Conan had just finished dinner when a guest came to his door, but the identity of this young guest was a little special.

She is the daughter of Niina Rentaro, Niina Kaori.

The reason why she came here, looking for the Maori detective, was simple.

Shinmei Rentaro disappeared two months ago, but his manuscripts were submitted to the editorial department on time via fax.

This is not normal.

Shinna Kaori suspected that her father was kidnapped, so she asked Detective Mori to investigate.

…………

Beido Town Hotel, Room 2407.

Ze Yu stood quietly in front of the door, raised his head, and looked at the door in front of him with an indifferent expression.

Even though the door was locked, it meant nothing to him.

In this world, there is no lock that can stump Ze Yu, not even an electronic lock.

What's more, the door in front of him was not an electronic lock, but just an ordinary padlock. Ze Yu pushed it lightly and walked into the room.

"Who?"

The door made a noise when it was pushed open, attracting the attention of the people in the room, and a surprised voice was heard.

Soon, an elderly lady came out. She was the wife of Shinmei Rentaro. She looked a little nervous, as if someone was a bad guy coming in.

However, when Mrs. Xinming saw that the person who came in was Ze Yu, she was stunned for a moment and showed a surprised expression: "Mr. Yu, you are here?"

"Yeah." Ze Yu looked up at her and said speechlessly, "Xinming is almost dead. Can't I come and see him?"

"Of course, please come this way." Mrs. Xinming led the way enthusiastically. She did not ask Ze Yu why he was here, because she knew that she could not hide this matter from him.

Sawa Yu soon saw the newly named Rentaro. The old man was lying weakly on the bed with a sickly expression on his face. His vitality was intermittent and it seemed that he was about to die.

"Honey, Mr. Yu is here." Mrs. Xinming couldn't help but wipe away her tears when she saw her husband in this state.

"Ah... yes... Yu, you came... to see me?"

Hearing her words, the Shinmei Rentaro, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly trembled, opened his dim eyes, and looked at the blond boy standing at the head of the bed with some surprise.

A hint of excitement appeared on his originally lifeless face, and if he had not been too weak, he would have even sat up.

"Hey, don't be so excited, or you might die accidentally." Ze Yu narrowed his eyes and spoke with a rare venomous tone.

"Sorry to make you laugh." Shinmei Rentaro smiled bitterly, then looked at his wife and said, "You go out first."

Mrs. Xinming nodded, walked out, and closed the door.

"Yu, it's great to be able to see you before I die." Niina Rentaro said with some emotion.

Many years ago, when he was still a college student, he had already met Ze Yu, who was still young, and they became good friends.

But now, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, decades have passed quietly.

He was old, his hair was gray, and he was even seriously ill. He was in the late stage of cancer and was about to die.

But Ze Yu returned to his childhood appearance.

Such a comparison really makes people sigh with emotion.

Shinmei Rentaro began to recall the good memories of his youth, and his excited expression gradually became gentle.

"I say, kid, you know you won't live long, but you still want to play like this?" Ze Yu glared at him and cursed, "You think your life is too long, right?"

"Ahem, sorry, I just wanted to..." Shinmei Rentaro coughed, feeling a little guilty.

But he still wanted to argue because it was about his pride as a detective novelist.

"Shut up!" Ze Yu glared at him and stopped him without any courtesy: "You are already an old man, but you still like to torture yourself? Since you have so much free time, why don't you spend more time with your family?"

"..."

Shinmei Rentaro was silent.

After a while, he slowly said, "In fact, I have regretted it, but the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. Now, I can only wait here quietly for the reader who can solve my puzzle to appear in front of me in person. Otherwise... everything I have done will be meaningless."

"In the end, I didn't expect that two months had passed, and I didn't have many days left to live, but I still hadn't waited for that reader. Instead, I waited for you."

"How should I put it...it's really amazing."

PS: Kawen, I am broken...
