Chapter 955: Come back soon, please(1/2)
Chapter 955: Come back soon, okay?
"Then Xiaolan, doctor, I'll go back first..."
At this time, in the ward, as Mouri Kogoro followed Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori out, Suzuki Sonoko stayed with Xiaolan for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked Xiaoran and Agasa.
The doctor said this and prepared to go home.
In response, Dr. A Li nodded, and after saying "be careful" to Yuanzi, seeing that Xiaolan was still prepared to stay here, Dr. A Li also advised:
"Xiaolan, that's about it. Why don't you go back and rest first? I'm here."
However, facing such a proposal, Xiaolan looked around at Conan and Gao Yuan who were still sleeping in the ward, as well as Xiao Ai who was guarding Gao Yuan's bedside, and couldn't help but ask:
"Xiao Ai, won't you go back?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ai just looked at the sleeping Gao Yuan and silently shook his head and responded.
In this regard, I thought that Xiao Ai had been living with Gao Yuan all the time, and there were no other family members around. If something happened to Gao Yuan, Xiao Ai, as a child, would be worried and not want to leave. I can understand this very well.
So, when Xiaolan finally looked at Conan who was still awake, she couldn't help but look a little worried, and had no intention of leaving. Moreover, she thought about the doctor outside the rescue room just now who said that Conan might still have a concussion.
Maybe, so I planned to stay with Conan...
…
At the same time, on the other side, Mouri Kogoro followed Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori to Ginza, the nightclub where Ms. Okano Towako was.
When the car stopped at the door of the nightclub, Kogoro Mouri was very anxious. He opened the car door first and ran towards the door of the nightclub as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori couldn't help but sigh when they saw Mouri Kogoro's anxious movements, and had no choice but to follow him——
"welcome!"
Pushing the door and entering, first on the inside of the door, a waiter in neat uniform bowed politely to Mouri Kogoro and others and said welcome, and then seemed to follow the regulations and needed to step forward to give some guidance, but
At this moment, Mouri Kogoro had no intention of caring about this kind of etiquette.
As a frequent guest of the nightclub, Mouri Kogoro skillfully showed a serious expression on his face, and walked towards the store in a hurry. At the same time, Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori were following behind Kogoro Moori.
Both of them also habitually wore a dignified look unique to the police, which inevitably made the waiter feel strange——
After all, with such an imposing manner, he doesn’t look like a normal customer coming to the store.
Although, as a relatively famous nightclub in Ginza, it has received all kinds of people, so of course it will not worry about any surprise inspections. The bright lights in the store also indicate this.
However, after all, it is a place where men come to patronize, and sometimes there will be some disputes between customers. For this reason, the waiters in the nightclubs that can be operated in Ginza are somewhat discerning.
So, the waiter winked at the other waiter who was also standing at the door but in front of the reception desk, as if asking what to do.
However, before the two waiters could make any move, at this moment, Miss Okano Towako, who was wearing a noble kimono, her hair tied up, and her movements were dignified and elegant, happened to be walking by.
At this time, Mouri Kogoro was looking serious.
In response, Miss Okano Towako put her hands together and bowed slightly, showing a gentle smile, and seemed to welcome with some joy:
"Ah, it's Mr. Mori!"
Immediately, when he saw the appearance of Okano Towako, Mouri Kogoro's original serious attitude immediately changed, showing an extremely happy expression, and he seemed impatient, and walked quickly towards Okano Towako:
"Miss Towako! It's great that you're okay!"
When he came to Okano Towako, he took the initiative to hold Miss Towako's hands with his own hands, and looked at Miss Towako with extremely concerned eyes, Mouri Kogoro said with a worried tone.
In this regard, seeing the change in Mouri Kogoro's reaction, Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori behind him couldn't help but widen their eyes and felt helpless.
Miss Towako, who was being held by Mouri Kogoro, felt a little puzzled when she heard Mouri Kogoro's words, and replied with a puzzled face:
"I'm fine...Did something happen?"
As she spoke, Towako's expression became gentle, as if she was concerned about whether Mouri Kogoro was in trouble, which made Mouri Kogoro feel soft in his heart.
At the same time, facing Miss Towako's slightly inquiring eyes, Mouri Kogoro wanted to answer, but thinking that Miss Towako should not worry for nothing, Mouri Kogoro hesitated for a while, and finally had no reason to come over.
Say it out loud.
In response to this, seeing that Mouri Kogoro did not answer, Miss Towako smiled slightly apologetically and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Maori, I still have guests to entertain. How about Mr. Maori go and have a drink first?"
"okay……"
Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro smiled awkwardly and agreed.
So, just like that, after Mouri Kogoro let go of her hand, Miss Towako turned and walked towards the hall, and Mouri Kogoro, as well as Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori, also followed Mouri Kogoro and walked in -
Upon entering the hall, I saw Miss Towako walking straight towards a booth with a smile, and in that booth, there was already a middle-aged man sitting there followed by several ladies in fancy clothes.
After seeing Miss Towako coming over, the middle-aged man who was holding a girl on each side immediately let go of the girl on his left and called Miss Towako over.
Seeing this, Miss Towako also showed her professional smile, and sat over, occupying the position on the left side of the man. Then the man put his hand on Miss Towako's shoulder, and they talked and laughed together.
In this regard, looking at this scene, Mouri Kogoro's expression suddenly seemed a little angry, especially when he saw the man, the man he saw outside the window while eating at the French restaurant that day, chatting happily with Miss Towako.
Peter Ford, looking at him being surrounded by a group of ladies smiling apologetically, Mouri Kogoro seemed a little unbearable for a moment——
"Brother Maori, pay attention to our purpose!"
As if aware of Mouri Kogoro's emotions, Officer Megure put a hand on Moori Kogoro's shoulder and looked at the booth where Miss Towako was currently. He could see it from the bar, so Officer Megure motioned.
Mouri Kogoro went to the bar first and sat there pretending to be drinking, so that he could always pay attention to the movements of Miss Towako.
In this regard, Mouri Kogoro did not comment, came to the bar, ordered a glass of wine, sat down with Officer Megure and the others, and then couldn't help but smoke a cigarette——
"However, I don't know what method Murakami will use to attack the next target next time..."
After a while, while observing Miss Towako, the group of ladies were chatting and laughing with Peter Ford, drinking wine, looking completely calm and composed. Officer Megure looked solemn and thought seriously:
"Crossbows, pesticides, and car accidents... So far, his attack methods are different every time, which makes it difficult for us to guard against... What do you think, Brother Maori?"
At this time, Mouri Kogoro was looking towards Miss Towako with a solemn expression, as if he was thinking about something, and did not immediately reply to Officer Megure's inquiry——
"What's wrong? Why are you so dazed?"
Seeing this, Officer Megure looked at Mouri Kogoro's expression and couldn't help but ask.
Suddenly, after being called out by Officer Megure, Mouri Kogoro responded with a smile and replied:
"Oh, it's nothing, nothing, nothing..."
As he said that, Mouri Kogoro saw that Officer Shiratori, who was supposed to be at the bar, was no longer here. Moori Kogoro couldn't help but feel strange and asked:
"Hey? Where's Officer Shiratori?"
"Just now, there was news from the traffic department that the truck that hit Brother Akechi and the others had been found. Shiratori went over to help... What's wrong with you, Brother Moori, why do you look so absent-minded?"
Seeing that Kogoro Mouri didn't even notice that Officer Shiratori left just now, Officer Megure asked with a somewhat helpless expression.
"Um……"
In response to this, Mouri Kogoro looked a little worried and couldn't help but reply:
"I was just wondering, since it is now confirmed that the prisoner is Murakami's father-in-law, can we trace the whereabouts of Murakami's father-in-law after he was released from prison...
"After all, instead of waiting for the other party to take action, it is safer to take the initiative..."
"Brother Maori, have you recalled that incident?"
Looking at Mouri Kogoro's condition, and relying on his understanding of Mouri Kogoro, Officer Megure couldn't help but ask.
Later, seeing Mouri Kogoro's silence after hearing the inquiry, he knew that he was right. Officer Megure patted Moori Kogoro on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't think about it too much. Although you left the police force after that time, it has been so long, so don't think about it anymore... As for the whereabouts of Murakami after he was released from prison, I have asked Takagi to investigate. If
If we can directly find the whereabouts of Murakami, that would be much better than us not knowing what to guard against here!
"After all, even Brother Mingzhi couldn't avoid the opponent's attack, and he was attacked by the opponent's poisonous hands. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. It's really tricky!"
Saying this, but since there was no better way at the moment, Officer Megure and Kogoro Mori had no choice but to continue to guard here, for fear that Miss Towako would be accidentally involved in the process...
…
"Hey, it's actually an imported car? But it looks like it's been scrapped..."
At the same time, near the intersection where Gao Yuan and Conan were attacked by a truck, a beautiful policewoman wearing a traffic police uniform and with beautiful long black hair was looking at the person who had just been hoisted from the cliff.
Behind the tall blue "MINI" car that was to be loaded onto the trailer, the policewoman said with some surprise when she saw the driver's seat of the left-hand drive.
Immediately, the policewoman looked at Miwako Sato, who was wearing a gray professional suit next to her, and asked curiously:
"Hey, Miwako, is that Detective Akechi quite rich?"
"Ah? Yumi, why do you ask this?"
In response to this, Miwako Sato felt a little strange.
"For the price of this imported car, you can obviously buy a better car. But buying this car shows that the other party doesn't care about the price/performance ratio at all..."
Facing Miwako Sato's rhetorical question, the policewoman named "Yumi" couldn't help but analyze:
"Besides, I've heard the rumors about that wise detective a long time ago! It's said that he is young, promising, handsome, and single!"
"What are you thinking about, Yumi!"
Immediately, after hearing what Yumi said, Miwako Sato, her friend, immediately understood her thoughts and couldn't help but persuade her:
