Conan: Another Famous Detective

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yu Gongming's life is back on track, and the good news is that he has received many commissions of considerable value in the past few days.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga mentioned his name twice during the press conference. All reporters who often attend police press conferences know something about him as a famous detective.

Although he is known as an "enthusiastic citizen", the reporters of Akira Hanamiya's name know what it means.

Therefore, he has become a frequent visitor to major newspapers these days.

The number of commissions that have increased significantly in both quantity and quality within a few days shows that this wave of publicity is quite effective.

However, with too many commissions, he inevitably became busy. Fortunately, after taking the mock exam, Mengyu had another vacation. The two of them were able to cope with it together.

Although it was tiring, the results were quite gratifying.

After completing the last commission he received in the past few days, Yu Gongming's income this month successfully exceeded the 10 million yuan mark!

"Phew! I'm so exhausted! Okay! I'll be closed for the day tomorrow, so relax!" Akira Yumiya slumped on the office chair in a very decadent posture and announced loudly.

Mengyu put a cup of black tea in front of him: "How many days have you been open now? Are you on break again?"

Yu Gongming chuckled: "Isn't that right? A famous detective like me just doesn't open for half a year and stays open for half a year."

"Okay, I've been really tired these past few days, and I've made a lot of money," Mengyu replied.

"Then it's settled! By the way, how about we go see a movie tomorrow?" Yu Gongming suggested.

"Hmm... I don't seem to have any interesting movies recently... How about we go to Dorobiga Paradise? I heard that there was a new escape room or something like that recently built, which seems quite interesting."

"Huh? Is there such a project?" Yu Gongming said in surprise.

Mengyu nodded: "Well, it seems quite popular."

"Okay, let's go take a look tomorrow." Yu Gongming seemed to be interested.

At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

Yu Gongming took out his mobile phone and glanced at the caller ID.

The next moment, he smiled bitterly and held his forehead: "Oh! I'm afraid our plan to play may have to be postponed."

"Huh?" Meng Yu looked at him doubtfully.

Yu Gongming pointed the phone towards Mengyu.

On the screen of the mobile phone is an interface waiting to be answered, with the caller's number displayed at the top of the interface.

As soon as Meng Yu saw the caller number, she suddenly showed a look of surprise.

She also has that number, and the owner of the number is called Hattori Heiji.

…………

The next day, in the living room on the third floor of Yu Gongzhai.

"Ah~" Conan yawned hard and subconsciously glanced at his watch.

"It's already two o'clock, why aren't they both here yet?"

"Yes, I made my promise. Even if something happens, I should call him to inform him, right?" Meng Yu also said.

"I'm back!" Xiaolan walked into the living room and said with a helpless expression: "I just called Hattori's cell phone, and his cell phone seems to have run out of power and shut down."

Yu Gongming frowned: "I suddenly had an ominous premonition..."

"Probably not? The two of them are not weak people. It's not that easy to deal with them." Meng Yu hesitated.

Akira Yumiya touched his chin: "I remember he said on the phone that before he came to us, he seemed to be looking for a person named Nanchuan."

"I heard from Hattori that he used to be a subordinate of Kazuha's father, the Toyama Criminal Minister. He later resigned and went to work in a detective agency in Tokyo, but I don't know which one specifically."

"How about I ask dad? After all, he has been a detective for so many years. Maybe he happens to know Nanchuan?" Xiaolan suggested.

"Well, I'll trouble you, Xiaolan." Yu Gongming nodded in agreement.

After a while, Xiaolan came back and said with a smile: "Dad does know Mr. Kusukawa! He works at Abedo Detective Agency, and I also asked for the phone number of their agency!"

Xiaolan said and sent the number to Yu Gongming.

Yu Gongming didn't waste any time and immediately started making calls.

"Hey! This is the Acupido Detective Agency!" A man's voice came from the other side.

"Hello, I would like to ask, is Mr. Kusukawa here?" Yu Gongming asked.

"Oh! You are looking for Nanchuan! I haven't contacted him in the past three days. Do you have anything to do with him?" asked the other person.

Yu Gongming's heart moved slightly and he said: "Yes, I have asked Mr. Kusukawa for some help before, and now I want to inquire about his progress, but his phone has been unreachable!"

"That's it, but I can't contact him, but I heard him mention that he seemed to be investigating a big case. Maybe he is investigating the case now?"

"I see, oh, by the way, did two high school students come to your place this morning?" Akira Hanamiya asked.

"It's true! They are a pair of high school students from Osaka. They came here at about 10:30 this morning. They seemed to be here to see Nanchuan. After I told them that Nanchuan was not around, they asked for the address of Nanchuan's house. left."

Then, in a few words, Hanemiya Akira came up with the address.

"There is Hatosou in 4-chome, Cupido Town..." Akira Hanamiya confirmed the address on the note and looked at everyone: "Okay! Let's set off now!"

………

In Abeido Town, Akira Hanomiya and others walked in the pouring rain and arrived at the door of Arihatso's apartment.

"Phew! We're finally here, it's raining really hard!" Mengyu gently patted her coat, which was already a little wet.

"Let me see, Mr. Nanchuan's home is...No. 202!" Xiaolan pointed to the sign in front of the apartment door.

When several people came to the door of Room 202, they saw a note on the door:

[I will be back around noon. If you have any registered mail, please send it to the landlord]

"Maybe Hattori and the others met Mr. Kusukawa, and then they went out together and planned to come back before noon." Xiaolan guessed.

"No, they probably didn't meet Mr. Kusukawa." Conan shook his head slightly and pointed to the side of the note: "Look, there is a water stain here with the pattern of the hat Hattori often wears. He should have turned his hat upside down. Dai, wait here with your back against the door."

"Yes, he was so impatient with waiting that he couldn't help but sit down and rest." Akira Hanomiya pointed to another water stain below that was about the same height as Conan.

"Huh? What is this?" Conan knelt down and picked up a slender piece of tape.

"It seems to be the kind of tape that is stuck on the door to confirm whether someone has invaded?" Xiaolan guessed: "Now that the tape is loose, has someone already entered?"

"No, there is already a lot of dust on the tape. It doesn't seem to have fallen off recently." Mengyu denied.

Yu Gongming's eyes flashed slightly: "If that's the case, then it's hard to tell when the paper on the door was posted..."

After staring at the door in front of him for two seconds, Yumiya Akira reached out and turned the door knob.

Click——

After a soft sound, the door was slowly pushed open by Yu Gongming!
