After knowing that someone had placed "sleeping pills" at the door of Mizuno Rena, Maori Kogoro's expression changed from calm and indifferent at the beginning to nervous and solemn.

"Besides this, has anything else happened?!"

"Let me think... ah! The night before last, after I took a shower and lay on the bed, I suddenly heard the phone ringing next door! But no one has lived next door for a long time! Later..."

Maori Kogoro and Conan listened to her description with a serious face.

According to Mizuno Rena, not long after she heard the phone call, she observed the next door from the balcony, but it was pitch black next door, and it didn't look like anyone was there at all.

Later, she heard the sound of running in the corridor again, and immediately walked to the door and opened it carefully.

A dark figure ran from the corridor to the stairs.

The next day, when she called the apartment manager, the manager insisted that she was dreaming and no one had lived next door for more than half a year.

After listening, Maori Kogoro held his chin with his hand and closed his eyes and said: "At present, it is very likely that he is a stalker! The man should have a spare key to the next door, and he should have rang the doorbell on Saturday. If you live next door, you can run back and hide immediately after ringing the doorbell."

At Maori Kogoro's suggestion, everyone came to the next door.

Maori Kogoro reached out and turned the door handle, and found that the door was indeed locked.

"If we can get in, we should be able to find something. Miss Mizuno, can you contact the manager of the apartment? It should be okay for us to borrow the key?"

"Yes, but according to the last experience, they should not be willing to lend us the key..." Mizuno Rena shook her head.

——"Click~"

At this time, a crisp sound interrupted everyone who was thinking about a solution.

"Okay, it looks like the door is open, let's go in and take a look."

Everyone: "???"

Everyone first glanced at the wide-open door, and then all looked at Ryunosuke who was smiling beside them in shock.

"Little... boy! Did you break the lock with your brute force?!" Maori Kogoro pointed at the door lock with a trembling hand.

"Ryunosuke?" Xiaolan also showed a worried expression.

"Don't worry, I didn't break the door lock, I just simply opened the lock~" Ryunosuke smiled at Xiaolan and comforted her.

"What?! Boy, you can open the lock?!"

"It's no big deal, I learned it in Hawaii~" Ryunosuke scratched his head and chuckled.

Conan: "???"

Hawaii again?

Are you talking about the Hawaii I know? Why haven't I learned to open the lock! ?

Conan looked at Ryunosuke in front of him, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

It's OK that he can drive and fly, but Takeda can actually pick locks...

...

Soon after, everyone entered the house.

Except for a table, there was no furniture in the house.

Not only that, under the sunlight, everyone clearly saw the thick "dust" on the table.

Just as Mizunashi Rena said, there was indeed no sign that anyone had lived here.

Just as everyone was looking around the house, a gentle child's voice came into everyone's ears from not far away.

——"Ah, what is this?"

Everyone walked behind Conan and followed Conan's gaze to see the words on the balcony glass-"Kimiwa".

The moment they saw the words, everyone present immediately understood that someone must have been in this house in the past few days.

The words on the glass cannot be preserved for a long time.

Not to mention, no one has lived here for more than half a year.

"Kimiwa? What does this mean?" Maori Kogoro frowned.

"Is this a secret code?" Xiaolan also asked in confusion.

After taking another look at the handwriting, Tatsuno thought of something and smiled with narrowed eyes: "You can rest assured. The person who left the handwriting is not a stalker~ No, it should be said that he is not Miss Mizuno's stalker~"

"Why do you say that? Do you already know what this code means?" Maori Kogoro looked at Tatsuno and asked in confusion.

"Well, this is not a code, but a name. Uncle, you should know it when I say this - Officer Sato and Officer Takagi."

"Sato and Takagi? What does it mean... huh? Takagi Miwako?!"

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the masterpiece of Officer Takagi. We can call him and ask."

"..."

At Tatsuno's suggestion, Maori Kogoro called Officer Takagi.

According to Officer Takagi, he did ask the apartment manager for the key two days ago and entered this apartment.

The reason for doing this is to monitor the apartment opposite.

The apartment opposite, where someone livesThe ex-fiancee of the suspect in the incident.

He thought the criminal might visit her, so he asked the management company to cooperate and let him go into the house to monitor.

The night before yesterday, the criminal was caught near Toriya Town, and he immediately evacuated after receiving the contact.

After that, he repeatedly asked Maori Kogoro not to tell others that he fantasized about marrying Officer Sato while monitoring.

Maori Kogoro glanced at the four people who were listening to the content of the phone call, and agreed to Officer Takagi's request.

——

After hanging up the phone, Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the figure that Miss Mizunashi Rena saw that night was actually Officer Takagi, not a stalker.

Xiaolan smiled and pulled Takano aside, and whispered about Officer Takagi's love affair.

After all, Officer Takagi liked Officer Sato so much that he changed her name without authorization~

As we all know, only after marriage, the woman will have the same surname as the man.

Officer Takagi's move has already exceeded the level of "explicitly"!

...

Ten minutes later, it was getting dark

Everyone returned to Rena Mizuno's house.

Looking at Miss Rena Mizuno in front of him, Uncle Maori hesitated for a moment and stood up and said: "Miss Rena! Please allow us to stay here tonight, okay?"

"Ah?" Rena Mizuno was obviously surprised by this request.

"Tomorrow is Saturday. Tomorrow morning, I will definitely catch the stalker for you myself!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Seeing that Detective Maori was so attentive to help her catch the criminal, Rena Mizuno smiled and nodded.

As she observed, Detective Maori is indeed a responsible detective!

In this case...

Thinking of this, Rena Mizuno looked deeply at Maori Kogoro and made up her mind.

Seeing that Rena Mizuno agreed to his suggestion, Maori Kogoro patted his chest and laughed.

At this time, Ryuno glanced at the room and chuckled: "Miss Mizuno, Xiaolan and I will go back first. If we all stay, there will be too many people~"

"Willn't the stalker visit at around 6:30? We will be on standby downstairs tomorrow morning~"

"There is only one staircase here. If the stalker wants to escape, we will definitely see it."

Without waiting for Maori Kogoro to speak, Conan nodded: "Indeed, if we do this, we can better lock the criminal!"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro also felt that there was some truth, and nodded immediately: "Well, let's do it!"

Ryuno and Xiaolan smiled at each other and said goodbye to Miss Mizuno Rena together.

"Miss Mizuno, we will leave first~"

"Well! It's getting a little dark, be careful on your way back~" Mizuno Rena sent the two to the door and waved goodbye with a smile.
