Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

After a thorough analysis, Maori Kogoro deduced that the stalker was planning to kidnap Mizuno Rena.

Mizuno Rena showed a frightened expression: "Mr. Maori, are you kidding?"

Maori Kogoro also realized that he might have said too much, and laughed while touching his head: "Ahahaha, this is just my random guess. Maybe the cigarette butts were just the cleaners who were lazy and didn't take them away in time?"

Conan retorted: "But if the cleaners sorted the cigarette butts, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that they were all of the same brand, right?"

Maori Kogoro choked, feeling embarrassed, and said angrily: "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking!"

Conan curled his lips and laughed.

Kogoro Maori looked at Rena Mizunashi and said, "Miss Mizunashi, please be careful. If you get off work late, try not to go home alone, so as not to give others a chance to take advantage of you."

Rena Mizunashi showed an embarrassed expression: "This, if it is a normal day, it is not a big problem, but on Sunday..."

Kogoro Maori also realized this. Rena Mizunashi has a Sunday evening news show, and it may be midnight after it ends.

Yoko Okino was very worried about her friend who she had just met for a short time, so she suggested: "Rena, if it is convenient, how about asking Mr. Maori to go to your house to investigate? Your house is nearby, right?"

"Huh? It's in the apartment in Haido Town." Rena Mizunashi was a little surprised.

"How about this suggestion? I have work next, so I can't go."

"Ah, this..." Rena Mizunashi felt that the matter was a bit sudden, and she didn't know how to refuse for a while.

In Yoko Okino's impression, Rena Mizunashi's personality is a bit gentle, and she may be embarrassed to trouble Kogoro Mori, so she said, "Is it okay? Mr. Mori."

"Of course no problem!" Kogoro Mori patted his chest and said loudly.

Not to mention that this is something Miss Yoko asked, the one in trouble is still a beautiful woman, so Kogoro Mori will naturally not refuse.

"Don't worry, Miss Yoko, I will definitely protect Miss Mizunashi!"

"Ah..." At this point, Rena Mizunashi had no reason to refuse, so she had to say, "Then trouble you, Mr. Mori."

"It's okay, it's okay." Kogoro Mori touched the back of his head and laughed, "There's no time to lose, let's go now."

···

In front of a four-story apartment.

Maori Kogoro squinted his eyes and looked at the two people around him in silence: "I'm here to do the commission, what are you two doing here?"

Mauri Ran smiled and said: "This is the first time I have the opportunity to go to the host's house. Besides, this is Miss Yoko asking Dad to help, so it doesn't count as a commission, right? Dad, are you going to charge a commission fee?"

"And it's not appropriate for Dad to go to a single woman's house alone, right? It would be different if we were here."

Mauri Kogoro curled his lips in disdain. Xiaolan, who do you think your father is?

Somewhat awkwardly, he changed the subject: "Miss Mizuno, take us to see where you found the cigarette butt first."

Rena Mizuno nodded, took Maori and others to the alley opposite the apartment, pointed to a place a little further into the alley and said: "It's here. I happened to find it when I was going home once."

He raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side: "The room on the far left of the third floor is where I live."

Mauri Kogoro nodded slightly, looked up a few times but didn't find anything worth noting.

He looked down at the ground again and found that the cigarette butts had been cleaned up. He looked around and found nothing special. It was just an ordinary alley.

Just as he was about to say something, Conan's voice came from below: "Uncle, look, the cleaner who swept the floor today was a little careless. He left so many traces without cleaning them up."

"What?" Maori Kogoro was a little impatient. He looked down and saw Conan squatting on the ground looking at something, so he also moved over.

Conan pointed to the ground and said, "Uncle, look, there are a lot of black traces here."

Maori Kogoro looked in the direction and found that there were many burnt traces on the ground.

He couldn't help but frown. As an old smoker, he saw what these traces were at a glance.

He said in a deep voice: "These traces are left by stamping out cigarette butts! It seems that they are not left in a day or two, and there are quite a few of them."

Conan's expression became serious: "Then as expected..."

Mouri Kogoro nodded subconsciously: "Although I am not sure whether the other party really wants to kidnap, it should be right to monitor Miss Mizuno for a long time."

Rena Mizunoshi showed a fearful expression at the right time: "Mr. Maori, are you telling the truth?? This is terrible! "

Mouri Kogoro was serious when he was serious. He pinched his chin and comforted: "Miss Mizuno, you don't have to worry too much. Maybe the target of that person is not you?"

Rena Mizuno was shocked: "Isn't that also bad?"

It's worse. If it's her, there are still traces to find that person; if the target is someone else, it will become very troublesome.

Mouri Kogoro's expression froze. He didn't expect that his words had the opposite effect.

Pretending to cough, he said: "Miss Mizuno, don't worry. With my famous detective Mouri Kogoro, we will definitely catch that person!"

Rena Mizuno bowed quickly: "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Mouri!"

Mouri Kogoro: "Okay, there's nothing to find here. Let's go to your apartment to learn more about the situation. "

Several people walked around the apartment and came to the front, then went up to the far left of the third floor of the apartment, which was Rena Mizunashi's room.

Kogoro Maori looked around and found nothing special.

He asked: "Miss Mizunashi, did you only find suspicious signs in the alley opposite the apartment?"

Rena Mizunashi nodded and replied: "Yes, but I found it by chance, and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the person who followed me."

The door opened while she was talking, and Rena Mizunashi made a gesture of invitation: "Everyone, please come in."

The four people entered the house one by one, and Conan walked in at the end. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back and looked back alertly, his eyes fell on the four-story building opposite the apartment.

The building looked a bit shabby, and it didn't look like anyone was using it.

Ran Maori noticed that Conan had stopped and looked back in confusion: "Conan, what's wrong? "

Conan shook his head and said it was nothing, and walked into the house. Ran Maori closed the door.

Rena Mizuno brought slippers for them to change into, and then led the way to the living room.

Ran Maori said politely, "Excuse me."

Kogoro Maori was a little strange just now. Now he looked back and saw that in addition to the original lock on the door, there were three more locks. No wonder she opened the door more than ordinary people.

Ran Maori looked at it and was also a little surprised: "Really, there are four locks!"

Rena Mizuno smiled and said: "Single women living alone always have to be careful."
