After secretly complaining a few words, Maori Kogoro called the client, Ms. Kanae.

On the phone, Ms. Kanae said embarrassedly that today was the deadline for the magazine she was responsible for, and she had to go to work first.

It might be later before she had time to go with Maori Kogoro to find her husband.

After hanging up the phone, Maori Kogoro shook his head.

Seeing his father put down the phone, Xiaolan hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, what did Ms. Kanae say on the phone?"

"She said she had to go to work first and contact us when she had time. Really, it's time now, and it's obviously more important to find her husband now, right?" Maori Kogoro leaned back in his office chair and looked up at the ceiling helplessly.

After listening to his father's complaints, Xiaolan smiled.

She thought that since Ms. Kanae could still think about work so calmly, it meant that she had gradually accepted things related to her "husband" in her heart.

Maybe work is the outlet for her to regulate her emotions.

"By the way, since you two are so free, why don't we go directly to Miss Kanae's company downstairs and wait for her?"

After staring at the ceiling for a few seconds, Maori Kogoro suddenly thought of something and said with a silly smile.

Tatsuno glanced at Uncle Maori with shining eyes and said lightly: "Uncle Maori, what is your real purpose?"

"Hahaha! Of course, I can have lunch with her after she gets off work... uh..."

Just when Maori Kogoro was talking excitedly, he happened to see Xiaolan's sneer.

The next second, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes bulged, and his face turned pale.

After a while, Maori Kogoro took out his mobile phone again, ready to tell her that they would be near her company in a while.

But strangely, Maori Kogoro called several times, but no one answered Miss Kanae's phone.

You know, he just talked to Miss Kanae on the phone not long ago. Could something have happened?

Just when Maori Kogoro was about to continue dialing, he found that Ryuno and Xiaolan in front of him had disappeared.

Kanagawa Prefecture Yokohama Police Station

The middle-aged police officer drove to the "Yubundang Publishing House" with a subordinate to investigate the "legendary killer Kondo".

Although the middle-aged police officer never believed in such urban legends, the "transportation expert John" they captured kept muttering things like "Kondo will kill him" and "he is dead".

Since their police currently have no clues, they have no choice but to start investigating the "Killer Kondo".

Through the investigation of their subordinates, they learned that this "Yubundang Publishing House" was the first to publish a magazine about "Killer Kondo".

After showing their police ID to the receptionist in the lobby, the two directly explained their purpose.

They wanted to meet the staff of the editorial department of the "Explosive Facts" magazine.

Not long after, in an office of the magazine editorial department.

After knowing the purpose of the two detectives' visit, the editor-in-chief nodded and said, "He is indeed a person who has been featured in our magazine."

"Does this person named Kondo really exist?" The middle-aged police officer frowned.

"Yes, this person should exist. We have also received a lot of relevant information recently. It is said that someone has found the residence of this 'Kondo'..."

"What?! Where does he live?"

"Well, the amount required by the person who wants to provide the information is too high, so..."

"Do you have the phone number of the person who provided the information?"

"No, we can't contact him since we rejected his offer."

Hearing this, the middle-aged police officer sighed. It seems that they have reached a dead end again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the office, and a lady walked in anxiously.

"Mr. Otani, have you seen the editor-in-chief of our group?"

"Ah? No, what happened to Ms. Kanae?"

"Nothing, it's just that she went out just now and I can't contact her anymore. Today is the deadline for our magazine..."

"..."

On the other side

In a suburban villa.

The yellow-haired man handed a child's backpack to Kondo, "This is the backpack of that child~"

"Okay, then we'll set off." Kondo took the backpack, led Conan out of the villa, and got into the car.

Under the gaze of the short-haired woman, Kondo drove Conan to the target location, the 'Red Brick Warehouse'.

Soon after leaving the villa, Kondo looked at Conan in the co-pilot and suddenly said, "Little friend, you..."

Conan immediately interrupted Kondo's words, then put a finger to his mouth and said in a childish tone: "What's the matter~"

After seeing Conan's appearance, KondoI immediately understood what Conan meant.

The next moment, Conan took out a bug from the amulet that the short-haired woman gave him.

After seeing the bug, Kondo looked at Conan in surprise, nodded, and stopped talking.

After a while, Kondo's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from "that person".

Because the quietness in the car was very good, although Kondo did not turn on the hands-free function, Conan also heard the voice on the phone.

——"Leave the child there, and then you will have nothing to do. Thank you for your hard work."

"You threatened me with so much trouble, just to do this?"

——"Get it clear, you are not a legendary killer, but an expert who helps people escape~ You are only qualified to run errands for me, don't be too self-righteous."

——"After leaving the child at the venue, you must wait until someone takes him away before you can leave, and don't provoke the police!"

After that, the other party hung up the phone.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Conan lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then put his mouth close to the eavesdropping device, "I want to pee~"

Kondo turned his head to look at Conan, hesitated for a moment, and immediately replied: "Well, I know."

After arriving at the bus stop, Kondo stopped the car.

After leaving the backpack and amulet in the car, Conan took Kondo to the seat in the rest area and sat down.

As soon as the two sat down, Conan immediately said: "There is a bomb in that backpack. I think it should be a remote-controlled bomb. They should be planning to press the switch depending on the situation."

Kondo looked at Conan for two seconds and asked in confusion: "Why do you..."

"Because I don't have any tickets for the "Kamen Rider" exhibition held in the red brick warehouse in my pocket. Although I don't know what their purpose is, I have almost understood everything else~"

At this point, Conan's face showed a confident smile.

Kondo looked at Conan in front of him and didn't know what to say for a while.

He considers himself a very calm and rational person. If not, he would not have been able to work in this industry for so long.

But the kid in front of him named Conan kept refreshing his cognition.

"Are all the elementary school students nowadays so powerful? Why does it feel like this kid is calmer than me?"
