Conan: Another Famous Detective

The next day, Yu Gongming and Meng Yu had just finished lunch and were preparing to go shopping together.

The main reason is that Mengyu dislikes Yu Gongming's few coats because they are a bit old due to frequent commissions, so she plans to go with Yu Gongming to select a few coats with slightly better quality.

Naturally, Yu Gongming readily agreed. Although he still had to pay for it out of his own pocket, what else could he be dissatisfied about if his girlfriend was willing to accompany him?

However, just as the two were about to go out, a phone call came.

"Hello! Conan?" Yu Gongming answered the phone.

"Hey! Yumiya, can you guys come over here? We are in trouble again!" Conan said.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Yu Gongming frowned.

"Uncle Maoli didn't come home all night last night. Today Xiaolan's calls all morning were not answered. Xiaolan is very worried now."

Yu Gongming was a little confused: "It's just that we can't get in touch for the time being. As a detective, it's normal for my uncle to go out for a day or two because of commissions, right? If you encounter a specific situation, wouldn't it be surprising if it's not convenient to answer the phone?"

"No! Judging from Xiao Lan's description, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Anyway, you guys come here first." Conan hung up the phone without waiting for Yu Gongming's reply.

Yu Gongming took back his phone with some helplessness and looked at Meng Yu: "It seems that our plan has to be cancelled. Something happened with Conan again. We will talk about the details on the road."

Mengyu was not too surprised: "I can probably guess what you said on the phone, so let's go."

Afterwards, the two rushed to the Maori Detective Agency.

Ten minutes later, the two met Conan and Xiaolan in the reception room on the second floor.

Xiaolan was pacing back and forth in the living room, looking very worried.

"We are here, what happened?" Yu Gongming said hello and went straight to the topic.

Xiaolan's glasses immediately lit up when she saw Yu Gongming and the others arrived: "Seniors, you are finally here! My father is missing!"

"What's the specific situation?" Yu Gongming asked.

"That's right!" Xiaolan replied: "When I went home last night, I saw that my father didn't come back. Because he usually comes home late, and there was something about Serayo, so I didn't care."

"However, he didn't come home all night, and I couldn't get through to him on the phone. I always had an ominous premonition."

Hearing this, Yu Gongming thought for two seconds and asked, "Is he going to handle the commission?"

Xiaolan nodded: "Yes! He did go to see the client, but I didn't ask about the location or the identity of the client... However, dad was a little weird at the time."

"I asked him if he would come back for dinner, and he said [not sure yet]." I originally thought that he was going to have a drink after the commission, and I was about to say something to him, but he suddenly turned around and said, He looked at me solemnly and said, "But don't worry, I will definitely come back, you don't have to worry." "

"I felt his reaction was a bit strange, so I wanted to ask a few questions, but he just closed the door and walked away. Now that I think about it, I still feel that Dad's commission this time will not be that simple."

Yu Gongming frowned: "Besides the unusual farewell, are there any other clues?"

"Yes!" Xiaolan continued: "I later called Officer Megu and asked him if his father had said anything to him. Officer Megu said, "No, he didn't say anything to me. But if If you are worried, we will help you find him. Don’t worry, he will definitely come back!]”

"After that, before I could reply, Officer Memu hung up the phone in a hurry."

"This matter is indeed not simple!" Yu Gongming heard that something was wrong.

"Yes! That's why I called you here. Now I'm not sure what's going on with my uncle, so it's better to be cautious." Conan said solemnly.

"Then while you were calling us here, you should have found out something, right? For example, the location entrusted by uncle?" Yu Gongming asked.

"Yes! I did find something!" Conan showed a piece of note paper blackened with pencil to the two of them. From the black traces, some more unusual traces could be faintly seen.

Yu Gongming looked carefully: "At 10 o'clock on October 20th, the outdoor cafe of Moore Hotel..."

"Yes! This is the content of the note that uncle tore off last time. It should be the place where uncle and the client met." Conan said.

Yu Gongming nodded slightly: "It's not too late, let's go there and take a look now."

…………

Open-air cafe reception.

"Hello, may I ask, when I passed by here yesterday, I saw the famous detective Mouri Kogoro entering this store. Is that true?"

"Ah! This is indeed the case. Who are you?" The waiter looked at Yu Gongming and his party in confusion.

Akira Hanomiya lowered his head and looked at Conan: "Isn't it because of this kid? He is a fan of Moori Kogoro! I heard that I saw Detective Mouri here, and I clamored to come over and get an autograph. Where does Detective Mouri live? In this hotel?”

The waiter looked down at Conan, and Conan also looked at the waiter expectantly.

Seeing this, the waiter smiled and said: "So that's it! But it's a pity, kid, Detective Maori doesn't live in our hotel. He just came to our store and sat on the seat over there."

The waiter pointed in a direction and said:

"He answered a phone call and left in a hurry. The phone seemed to tell him not to take a taxi right away. Then he asked me about the location of the nearby station."

Yu Gongming and others looked at each other, thanked the waiter, and immediately rushed to the nearby tram stop.

After arriving at the tram stop, Conan looked at the automatic ticket vending machine and frowned: "If we don't know which stop uncle got off at, then it's useless for us to come here!"

"Not necessarily." Akira Yunomiya suddenly pointed to the map near the ticket vending machine: "Look, there is also a taxi station nearby. I remember that the call was to tell him not to take a taxi [immediately]."

Conan's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"

Yu Gongming didn't explain any more and just said to everyone: "Let's go."

The group set out again and arrived at a nearby taxi stand.

"Oh? You're talking about Detective Maori! He did take my taxi yesterday." The taxi driver arrived at the greeting station.

"Then can you take us to the place where Detective Mori went yesterday?" Akira Hanomiya asked.

"That's no problem!" The driver agreed readily without delving into the reason.

Afterwards, the group got into a taxi.

About half an hour later, the taxi finally stopped.

After everyone paid, they got out of the car and looked around.

Unknowingly, several people had left the downtown area and arrived near a rather remote group of abandoned houses.
