Since the person has come, Maori Kogoro is embarrassed to drive him away, not to mention that this person is his fan.

Just then, the landline on the table rang.

Maori Kogoro was excited. This is a special phone for the office, and most of the calls are from clients.

Since this phone is ringing, doesn't it mean that there is a client?

But before he could answer it, Hondou Eisuke had already taken the phone and picked up the receiver.

"Hello, this is the Mori Detective Agency... Hello? Hello?"

Hondou Eisuke called several times in confusion, but there was only a busy tone on the phone. He looked at Mori Kogoro blankly: "Strange, why is the phone disconnected."

Mouri Kogoro's forehead popped up a big well-shaped character, pointing at the phone and angrily said: "You idiot, you hung up the phone yourself!"

Hondou Eisuke was stunned, and when he looked down, he found that his finger accidentally pressed the compression spring (the button that is pressed when the receiver is put down), and he immediately screamed in panic.

Mouri Kogoro was angry, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, go to the side quickly, and you are not allowed to touch anything from now on!"

Hondou Eisuke was embarrassed and guilty, so he had to smile and took a step back.

Yuya frowned slightly. He hated Hondou Eisuke's impolite behavior of answering other people's calls without permission, but Mori Kogoro didn't say anything, so he didn't know how to speak.

Conan stared at Hondou Eisuke's back with a serious look. He secretly pulled the corner of Yuya's clothes and whispered in his ear: "Did you notice when he came?"

Yuya shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"

Conan said in a deep voice: "Me neither, did he deliberately hide his breath to sneak in?"

Yuya looked at Conan with a strange look and whispered: "Have you read too many comics recently? Hondou Eisuke is not a ninja, how can he hide his breath? I think he just has a low sense of presence."

Conan was still a little worried: "But he and Mizunashi Rena look too much alike, I don't believe they have no relationship."

While the two were talking, Mao Lilan shouted outside the door: "Conan, come and help me get the things."

Just when Conan wanted to get up, Hondou Eisuke had already run over attentively.

"Let me do it!" But Mao Lilan happened to push the door open with her shoulder, and he bumped into it with his head.

With a "bang!", Hondou Eisuke squatted down on the spot, holding his head and screaming in pain.

Ran Mao Li looked out and apologized quickly: "Sorry, I didn't notice you coming."

Seeing this scene, Conan twitched his mouth and said to Yuya in silence: "You seem to have a point. This guy may really be simple and inconspicuous."

···

Time passed slowly, and the call that was hung up by Hondou Eisuke did not come again.

Maybe the commission that came to the door was ruined. Mao Li Kogoro was in a bad mood. He drove a few people aside and flipped through the newspaper to see if there was any explosive news or potential clients today.

Yuya was holding a mobile phone and chatting with someone, sometimes showing a vulgar and sometimes showing a gentle smile, which made Hondou Eisuke shudder. He had to go behind the sofa and read comics with Conan.

Ran Mao Li cleaned up the room and sat next to Conan to read comics together.

On the page that turned over, there happened to be a notice that the painter was going to collect materials and temporarily suspend the update.

Ran Mao Li said with some regret: "Hey, the next issue will be suspended? I still want to know the plot later."

Conan said: "Didn't he say that he was going to collect materials? There is nothing we can do about it."

Hondou Eisuke leaned on the back of the sofa and said casually: "But don't you think this has the flavor of an incident?"

Ran Mao Li was a little confused: "Incident? Why?"

Hondou Eisuke pointed to the notice and said: "Although it says that he is collecting materials, no one knows what he is actually going to do?"

"Maybe he is tired of this job and wants to escape, or he wants to be lazy and play mahjong, or he may have a cold or be sick."

"Even worse, he may be kidnapped?"

Ran Mao Li was a little speechless. Can't you hope for something good? He laughed dryly, "How could that happen? It shouldn't happen, right? These are all published by the publisher, they should confirm the author's situation, right?"

"Maybe the publisher was threatened to help conceal it?" Hondou Eisuke retorted, "For example, the actor who passed away half a year ago, the agency said he was adjusting his condition, but in fact he was sick, right?"

Mouri Ran was speechless. Hondou Eisuke's well-organized analysis made her doubt thisIs the cartoonist sick or kidnapped?

If that's the case, what about the plot she hasn't seen yet? The next episode is the climax of the plot!

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan looked up at Yuya: "Yuya, how about we investigate it?"

Yuya was chatting with the person on the other side of the phone, and looked up in confusion: "Investigate what?"

Mauri Ran then told Yuya that the cartoonist might be sick or kidnapped.

Yuya was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.

Mao Lilan stared at Yuya with some dissatisfaction. Was what she said so funny?

Yuya wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile:

"Please, your imagination is too rich. If that person is really sick, we can only cause trouble if we are not doctors; and as for kidnapping, it is even more impossible. The police will definitely receive news of such a thing.

Inspector Megure will ask me or Uncle Kogoro for help in cases such as kidnapping that cannot be carried out in a high-profile manner but need to be investigated."

"Isn't there anything going on now? So it is obvious that you are just thinking too much."

Seeing that the topic was about to be revealed, Hondou Eisuke felt a little unwilling and said, "But, didn't it happen recently? That person is very suspicious. He often appeared on TV before, but suddenly he said he needed to rest or something and he was gone."

Yuya narrowed his eyes. Boy, you changed the topic too abruptly. Are you afraid that others will not suspect you?

Conan stopped turning the pages, and his heartbeat accelerated: Could he be talking about...

Ran Maori stared at Eisuke Hondou blankly, and suddenly remembered something: "I know, you are talking about Sakahime Locke, right?"

"Huh?" Eisuke Hondou was stunned.

Ran Maori naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and analyzed it on her own: "That person is obviously very popular recently, but suddenly he said he wanted to take a break to adjust his condition. Could it be that there was really an accident?"

Eisuke Hondou hesitated to speak, no, not this person, what he wanted to say was...

Kogoro Maori suddenly snorted: "Anyway, this kind of people will definitely go to who knows where to play with women after making money? Aren't those people all like this?"

Ran Maori's mouth twitched slightly: Dad, there are four underage children here, do you want to listen to what you are talking about?

"That brother was killed!"

Suddenly, a child's voice sounded at the door.
