Chapter 422 A shadow running out of an empty room
In the living room, Rena Mizunashi brought coffee and juice, and several people sat on the sofa and began to discuss.
"I see. You noticed someone was following you two months ago?" asked Kogoro Mouri, taking a sip of coffee.
Shui Wu Lina nodded: "Yes."
Maori Kogoro: "Did anything happen two months ago?"
Mizunashi Reina thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing special. It's just that the news I'm responsible for has been changed from the morning news to the evening news. However, since I've only been working for a short time, I'm not the main person in charge."
Mao Lilan thought of something: "Did you and Miss Yoko meet on the 7 o'clock news in the morning?"
Mizunashi Rena said: "At that time, she and I were a regular partner on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays."
Mao Lilan suddenly realized. No wonder. She was wondering how they could be so familiar with each other when they were not from the same show and the broadcast times were so different.
Maori Kogoro pondered and said, "So, Ms. Mizunashi, have you noticed someone following you every day during this period of time?"
Mizunashi Reina quickly shook her head: "No, at first I thought it was just an illusion, but one Saturday morning there was a live news broadcast at seven o'clock, so I went out at four."
"When I was passing through the alley, I saw a man leaning against the wall and seemed to be asleep."
"I thought it was someone drunk, so I woke the man up and he ran away as soon as he saw me."
"Oh? Such behavior is very suspicious," Maori Kogoro's eyes narrowed, "Did you see what that person looked like? What were his characteristics?"
Mizunashi Reina shook her head: "No, because it was still dark at that time, and there was no light in the alley, so I couldn't see the man clearly. But when he passed by the street light, I saw that he was wearing black clothes, and from his height and hairstyle, I thought he was a man."
Black clothes? Conan smells black, could he be a member of the organization?
"What kind of clothes?" Conan asked subconsciously, with obvious anxiety in his voice.
Rena Mizunashi looked at Conan in surprise, and the Mori father and daughter were also a little stunned.
Mizunashi Reina recalled and said, "He was wearing a black suit, from the top to the shoes, everything was black. He looked like a member of a gang. You see, it's not often played like that in TV dramas."
A violent gang? No, that person must be from the organization! Conan gritted his teeth.
But what else is there for them to pay attention to about Mizunashi Rena, a TV host, besides her good figure, pretty face and gentle personality? Could it be that the Black Organization is looking for someone to debut as an idol?
If Rena Mizunoshi were to dress up as an idol, she might really be able to attract a lot of fans.
Conan's strange behavior caught Rena Mizunashi's attention, but he was just a child, so she didn't take it too seriously.
Maori Kogoro asked, "And then, besides that time, have you seen any suspicious people?"
Mizuno Rena nodded and shook her head: "No more."
Maori Kogoro couldn't help but frowned: "That man is a bit suspicious, it's a pity that I didn't see his appearance, otherwise I would at least have a direction to investigate."
"Did anything happen besides the stalking? Did the other party not approach you?"
Mizunashi Reina shook her head: "No, it's because nothing has happened so I can barely endure it until now."
Maori Kogoro accurately grasped the message in the other person's words: "Did something happen recently that you can't stand it anymore?"
Mizunashi Reina showed a frightened expression: "Just the night before yesterday, the empty house next door that should have been uninhabited seemed to have someone inside."
"What?" Several people's faces suddenly became serious.
From the alley across from the apartment, directly approaching the next room?
"It was around midnight. I had just finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed reading a book when I suddenly heard a cell phone ringing next door."
"I thought there was no one living next door, so I looked out the window. It was pitch black and there didn't seem to be anyone there, so I thought the ringing was coming from outside."
"But I heard the sound of a door opening in the corridor again, so I secretly opened the door and took a look, only to find a black figure running away quickly."
"The next day I asked the apartment management company, but they said I was dreaming..."
Mizuno Rena said this with a sad expression.
Maori Kogoro pinched his chin and pondered for a while before saying, "It seems that after two months of tracking, that person probably completely understood the information he wanted to know, so he found a way to get the spare key to the next room and moved in at night to carry out his plan, but something unexpected may have happened that caused him to give up the action."
Mizuno Reina's face suddenly changed: "Mr. Maori, are you saying that that person wanted to kidnap me that night?"
Maori Kogoro said in a deep voice: "At present, it seems that this is the only possibility. Otherwise, how can we explain that the other party risked being discovered to enter the next room? You know, if it is just surveillance, not being discovered by the target is the most basic premise."
Conan's face looked very ugly, but after the incident of the full moon last time, he knew clearly how difficult the organization was to deal with, and he didn't even know where their people might be hiding.
He and Yuya, together with Shuichi Akai and Judy from the FBI, formulated a plan to ambush and capture Vermouth, but the plan was ruined by Bourbon who suddenly appeared.
Not only did Yuya almost fall over, but Ran Maori was also in danger at one point.
Therefore, you must be extremely careful when facing people from organizations.
But now, there is an opportunity right in front of me. Maybe I can find information related to the organization. I have to think of a legitimate reason to go in and take a look.
So he tilted his head back and asked, "Big sister, how long has the room next door been empty?"
Mizunashi Reina thought for a moment and said, "According to the management company, it has been more than half a year."
Kogoro Mori immediately suggested checking out the next room.
It's just that the room is locked and can't be opened without a key.
Maori Kogoro sighed, "It is locked after all. If we can get in, we might be able to find some useful information."
Mao Lilan suggested: "Why not ask the management company to ask them to open the door?"
Mizunashi Reina said with some concern: "That's what I said, but based on last time's experience, they might not be willing to help."
Kogoro Mouri had no other choice. For things like this that might affect the rental of the apartment, most management companies would try to avoid them or pass them on to others. Only when they could no longer hide it would they cry and beg for help.
Conan thought for a moment, turned around and went back to Rena Mizunashi's room, came to the balcony, and using his small body to climb through the gap in the partition to the balcony of the next room.
When turning over, Conan noticed that there was an open window in a room in the apartment opposite, and there was a young woman sitting at the table reading a book.
He glanced around casually and then focused his attention on the empty room next to him.
I took a quick glance through the window and found the room was empty, with indeed no sign of the owner.
It seems that the other party entered the room secretly, and the target is most likely Mizunashi Rena.
Conan lay on the glass of the balcony door and looked inside, trying to see if he could find any clues.
Suddenly, he found three words written on the inside of the door glass: Wood, Beauty and Harmony.
"KI, MI, WA?" Conan narrowed his eyes. Those words left by that person?
These three words don’t seem to have anything to do with Rena Mizunoshi?
Is it a code? Or what does it mean?
