Stay away from Conan

Chapter 1731 Clear murderous intention

Last night, besides thinking about the secret code, Conan also thought about Xiaolong's current situation——

In the situation where Mr. Fire Dragon is likely to choose to take action, thinking about the people who now know that he is a substitute, in this mansion, in addition to himself and Uncle Maori, there are Xiaolong's mother, Ms. Meiling, and the driver, Mr. Haoli. Two people.

Among them, Ms. Meiling, as Xiaolong’s mother, should not take the initiative to disclose this matter, and the driver, Mr. Haoli...

Since Ms. Misuzu trusts him, she considers him a trustworthy candidate for the time being.

So other than that, Conan can only treat everyone except these two people as people who need to be on guard for the time being, at least not to be absolutely trusted.

Therefore, if the situation is like this, he realizes that he needs to be prepared for possible attacks on him from all sides, so naturally, Conan quietly made some arrangements for some places and last night.

For example, just like the luxury car in front of you now——

Last night, Conan borrowed some ashes from the heater in the living room and sprinkled them around the car.

After all, after considering Mr. Haoli as someone he can trust, the vehicle he is responsible for may also become a place where the other party will take action.

Judging from the current situation, the ash around the vehicle was sprinkled by himself in the middle of the night last night, which means that the pair of footprints were left after that.

Moreover, judging from the outline size of the footprints, they are completely different from Mr. Haoli's shoe prints.

Therefore, from the middle of the night last night to the early morning today, generally speaking, people other than Mr. Haoli should not leave footprints here, but it seems like this situation...

It could only be that someone else with ulterior motives had tampered with the car!

Thinking of this, Conan looked seriously at the driver, Mr. Haoli, who was standing beside the car, and said to him:

"Mr. Haoli, can you check the inside of the hood?"

In this way, after hearing Conan's words, Mr. Haoli knew that the person in front of him was not the young master Xiaolong, but because he was arranged by the famous detective Mr. Mouri Kogoro to be the young master's substitute, out of respect for Mr. Mouri Kogoro, Naturally, he listened carefully to Conan's words.

In this way, after listening to Conan's words decisively, Mr. Haoli opened the engine hood of the car with the flying goddess vertical logo on the front, and began to inspect the engine.

In this regard, the butler Shijo noticed this and felt a little confused. Why was the driver Haoli still wasting time in such a hurry when he was in such a hurry? It seemed that when he was about to say something to him——

"This, this is!"

Before the housekeeper could speak, the driver, Mr. Haoli, first opened the hood and shouted in panic at the situation inside the vehicle:

"The brake pipe has been unscrewed! It's still leaking oil!"

"What!"

For a moment, the butler Shijou was shocked and angry when he heard this:

"What, what's going on?"

"If the oil leaks out, the brakes will fail. This mansion is built on high ground. If the brakes fail, a big accident will happen."

Conan analyzed this situation with a solemn expression.

At the same time, after learning of such a dangerous situation, Butler Shijo immediately stepped forward and scolded Mr. Haoli:

"Haoli! You have been driving for more than 20 years, how could you still miss this most basic inspection! You are fired now!"

Suddenly, I heard the butler's words. Because as an employee of the Kiyo family here, the butler, Mr. Shijo, can be said to be their immediate boss, so the "fire" the butler said was not just rhetoric——

"How, how could this happen!"

Somewhat at a loss, Mr. Haoli suddenly became restless and looked at the butler, Mr. Shijo, wanting to plead with him.

Seeing this, Conan knew that the brake pipe was definitely not twisted off normally, so he pretended to be innocent and said to the steward:

"Everyone will be negligent sometimes. I just noticed it occasionally today. You see, thanks to Mr. Haoli driving, I have not encountered any accidents so far, and I am standing here healthy!"

In and out of words, he was defending Mr. Haoli, and he did not directly point out that the condition of the vehicle was deliberately made like this——

After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is certain that this was not done by Mr. Haoli. After all, if something like breaking the brakes happens, he himself is the most dangerous one, and he still knows that he is a substitute. , there is absolutely no need to do such meaningless things.

Therefore, Mr. Haoli can be trusted, but others obviously cannot.

It's better not to make a big deal out of things before you figure out what's going on.

Therefore, after hearing the support from "Young Master Xiaolong", the housekeeper Shitiao was a little bit difficult to deal with:

"The words are so..."

"Please check carefully in the future!"

Before the butler could continue, Conan interrupted him again and said this directly to the driver, Mr. Haoli. After Mr. Haoli replied with an overjoyed "Yes", he somewhat forced the matter to be revealed. The meaning of passing.

But now, Mr. Shijo, the butler, has nothing to say. After all, he is only the butler of the family. He really wants to refute the young master...

After all, this is not something that is normally arranged like asking the young master to go to school. I can educate him on these aspects, but for this kind of situation, I still have to go through Ms. Meiling.

So, the housekeeper Shijo knew what was going on and didn't say anything more about it.

And because the car that was going to take Conan to class had this problem, the morning class had to be postponed temporarily. After all, the car couldn't be driven, and there were no extra cars in the mansion, so he had to notify the company to transfer a car.

So, in front of everyone, Conan acted a little relaxed and prepared to go back to sleep first, but he was very solemn in his heart--

"However, this is not as simple as making Xiaolong unable to decipher the code within seven days! This has confirmed that someone is indeed trying to kill Xiaolong!"

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but feel a little scared--

If he hadn't been Xiaolong's substitute, would Xiaolong really be in danger?

And now, his situation is actually not optimistic. After all, he is now the "Xiaolong" in the eyes of those who took action...

He must quickly decipher the code, and also find evidence that the other party took action!

So, Conan was a little anxious...

...

Just when Conan encountered such an accident at Qing's house, on the other side, the real Xiaolong had already mixed with several members of the Junior Detective Team in the identity of Conan, playing football in the open space near Dr. Agasa's house where they usually played football-

Among them, because Xiaoai knew that the "Conan" in front of her was not the real person, but the young master of the rich family, she explained the situation to Xiaolong in advance, told him the identities of the other children of the Junior Detective Team, and asked him not to tell them his true identity to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In this way, Xiaolong readily agreed, and played football happily here with them...
