Chapter 442: Finding a Girlfriend
Because Conan avoided the risk in time, Hondou Eisuke had to stand there honestly and look at Mouri Kogoro with expectation.
Since a client had arrived, Kogoro Mouri couldn't just sit there and do nothing. He asked Ran Mouri to make a cup of coffee, and he sat on the sofa face to face with the client.
The client's name is Sankaku Atsushi. He came here because his girlfriend is missing and wants Maori Kogoro's help in finding her.
He and his girlfriend lived together. When he woke up this morning, he found that his girlfriend was missing and he couldn't get in touch with her. Sanjiao Du guessed that she ran away from home, probably because of the quarrel last night.
Maori Kogoro looked directly at Sankaku Atsushi and said, "Would you mind telling me what the quarrel was about?"
Sankaku Atsushi nodded slightly and was about to say something when he looked behind Kogoro Mori in surprise.
Kogoro Mouri was stunned. He turned around and saw speechlessly three big devils and one small devil standing behind him with curious looks on their faces.
Out of the principle of maintaining confidentiality for the client, Kogoro Mori immediately wanted to drive several people away.
Suzuki Sonoko, who loved listening to gossip the most, immediately showed an unwilling expression.
Sanjiao Du quickly said, "It's okay, it's just an ordinary quarrel anyway."
Since the client said so, Kogoro Mori was too lazy to continue chasing him away.
Suzuki Sonoko immediately showed a smug smile.
"Please tell me."
Sanjiao Du said: "It's like this. I've been busy with work recently and haven't had time to spend time with her. This is basically the reason for our recent quarrels."
"But last night after we had a fight, she suddenly said something she had never said before. She said, 'You have completely changed, and I am the only one who is still the same.' I was in a bad mood at the time and didn't think too much about it. I just said, 'There is no way back for us.'"
"But when I woke up in the morning, she and her car disappeared, and I couldn't contact her..."
After Sanjiaodu finished speaking, the people on the opposite side fell silent at the same time.
Suzuki Sonoko showed a bored expression: "Isn't this just a couple running away from home after a quarrel? There are many such plots in TV dramas."
Mao Lilan smiled and said, "Maybe she will come back on her own after a while."
Kogoro Mori also nodded in agreement. This situation could not be classified as missing.
Sanjiao Du immediately showed an anxious expression after hearing this: "I can't wait that long. There is a very important document in the car. It needs to be handed over to the company tomorrow. I must find the document within today!"
“···”Everyone fell silent and just looked at him.
It turns out that this guy is not worried about his girlfriend at all, but is concerned about the documents?
Sanjiao Du realized something and quickly added: "Of course, I am worried about her too."
Maori Kogoro held a cigarette in his mouth, crossed his arms and said, "I see, I already know what happened, but there are too few clues."
"Pinch!" Conan shouted in a voice full of childish innocence, "Does that sister know that you put the documents in the car?"
Sanjiao Du was stunned and nodded: "I know."
Conan put his hands behind his head and said innocently: "In that case, she might just be playing a prank! She actually just wants you to go find her."
Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran nodded in agreement. What Conan said made sense. This is how it is played out in TV dramas.
Only Hondou Eisuke had a serious face and no one knew what he was thinking.
Maori Kogoro looked at Conan sideways: "You said it was a prank?"
Conan nodded: "Yeah, isn't that how it plays out in the TV shows that Xiaolan and I watch? A boyfriend and a girlfriend have a fight, the girl runs away from home, and then the guy goes to find her, and the two hug each other and cry for a while, and then they make up again."
The corners of Maori Kogoro's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but glare at his daughter, as if to say, "What are you taking the child to see?"
Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly. It was because after knowing that Conan was Shinichi, she felt that there was no need to hide from him when watching romance dramas. Sometimes she even dragged Conan to watch them together.
"I think she must be waiting for you at the place where you used to play the game of Sugoroku!"
"Soujiru game?"
Others showed puzzled expressions: "What are you talking about?"
Conan said innocently, "Didn't the uncle just say that there's no going back? I played the game of Sugoroku with Xiaolan before, and the rules were exactly like that!" (I looked up the game of Sugoroku, and it seems to be a game similar to Monopoly.)
"You're so stupid, little brother." Hondou Eisuke adjusted his glasses and denied Conan's words.
Conan's face turned dark and he looked at Hondou Eisuke unhappily.
Hondou Eisuke continued: "What he said is not the rules of the game. What he meant by no turning back is that they can't go back to the time when they first met..."
These words flashed like a bolt of lightning, and Mao Lilan and the others showed an expression of sudden realization.
She and Suzuki Sonoko got together and analyzed: "Maybe she went to the place where the two of them first met?"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a good place to tease the other person after a big fight and then wait for him to come find you."
Maori Kogoro flicked the ash off his cigarette, looked at Sankaku Atsushi and asked, "So, do you remember where we first met?"
Sankaku Atsushi quickly said, "Of course I remember. It's the ski resort in Gunma Prefecture."
···
Sankaku Atsushi came in his girlfriend's car, carrying the Mori father and daughter, Conan, and Hondou Eisuke, and drove towards the mountains of Gunma Prefecture.
As for Suzuki Sonoko, she wisely slipped away because she remembered that it was snowing in Gunma Prefecture.
In the car, feeling the cold air constantly seeping into the car, Mao Lilan sighed that Suzuki Sonoko's choice was very correct. Who would have thought that Gunma Prefecture would suddenly become so cold?
"A-choo!" Hondou Eisuke sneezed hard, and his snot flowed uncontrollably.
Maori Kogoro turned around and said impatiently: "So why did you insist on following me?"
Hondou Eisuke blew his nose and said, "Because I want to see the detective Maori's reasoning! And you see, I was right, I was the first one to catch a cold in such a cold day."
Maori Kogoro sighed and complained, "Don't infect Xiaolan!"
Hearing this, Conan immediately looked at Hondou Eisuke with disdain, gently pushed Mao Lilan to the side, and whispered: "Sit closer, don't get infected."
Feeling warm at Conan's concern, Mao Li Ran couldn't help but put on a smile on her face.
Conan lowered his head a little embarrassedly, thinking to himself: I didn't expect that this trick I learned from Yuya seems to be quite effective?
