In the early morning of winter, the quilt is covered with a thin layer of mist, which makes people taste the cold taste as soon as they go out.

The car's yellow-red fog lights flickered in this pure white, like a ball of burning fire, slowly but firmly passing through the intersection of the street.

The underground parking lot of Kubado Central Hospital.

A blond young man in a hospital gown with a medical bandage on his head was shivering against the humid cold wind blowing from all directions.

"The middle way..."

Waited another seven or eight minutes.

Wearing a peaked cap, Hondo Eisuke, whose face was almost covered by a scarf, sneaked in with a few bags of hearty breakfast in the mist.

Afterwards, the two came to the power distribution room next to the safety stairs, preparing to temporarily borrow the tables, chairs and benches left by the staff.

The blond youth took out a steamed bun and took a bite, then asked vaguely:

"Yingyou, I'm very happy that you can come to the hospital to accompany me to celebrate the New Year, but...does it have to be so mysterious?"

"No way, if the hospital finds out that I live in your ward as a non-accompanying staff, I will definitely be kicked out."

Hondo Eisuke smiled innocently, "Besides, my mother passed away, my father is abroad, and my sister's whereabouts are unknown. I happened to meet you in the hospital. I really don't want to celebrate the New Year alone."

"Ahem..."

A sense of oppression called 'morality' hit his face, and the blond youth choked for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Yingyou. I will definitely keep your affairs in the hospital a secret!"

"Thank you ~ Zhongdao."

Hondo Eisuke sincerely thanked him, and unconsciously looked towards the top of the safety stairs outside the door, and suppressed the restlessness in his heart after a while.

can't go wrong...

In the second half of the night yesterday, when I secretly went to the bathroom, I heard the sound of a button coming from outside the door.

buzz, buzz...

"ah?!"

At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, which brought Hondo Eiyu back to his thoughts, and at the same time, he was so shocked that he almost threw the bun.

In Nakamichi's expression of "Can this guy still do it?"

Hondo Eisuke took out his cell phone in a panic.

...Oops, I didn't turn off the phone because I was worried that Nakamichi would need to contact me about something when I went out to buy breakfast.

He secretly said carelessly, and was about to hang up the phone directly, pretending that he accidentally pressed the wrong button.

When he saw the number on the screen, he was slightly startled...

[Maori Detective Agency. 】

Hondo Eisuke hesitated for a moment, but still picked it up.

"Ah, that's great, I got through... Yingyou, I'm Mao Lilan." Mao Lilan's voice came from the receiver.

"Well, Maori-san..."

Hondo Eisuke smiled embarrassedly at Nakamichi, got up and left the power distribution room: "What's the matter?"

Mao Lilan said: "I just want to ask if you have time these two days. Let's discuss when to go to school."

"Huh? Going to school?" Hondo Eisuke was startled, "Isn't it winter vacation already?"

"Have you forgotten?" Mao Lilan reminded: "It's the New Year's Outlook that I said before the holiday. Yuanzi is the contact person for this event. She also told me last night that the landline number you left in the class handbook has always been They can't get through."

"Ah, this..." Bentang Yingyou sweated, and could only say with a smile: "Because I haven't been at home for the past two days."

"Ah?" Mao Lilan guessed: "You won't leave Japan, right?"

"No, I'm at Kubado Central Hospital...ah, no..."

Hondo Eisuke finished speaking, and hurriedly corrected, "It's...it's near the Kubado Central Hospital..."

"Cup household?" Mao Lilan obviously couldn't understand.

"me…"

Hondo Eisuke was in a tangle. He wanted to hang up the phone after a few perfunctory words, but felt that doing so would arouse the other party's suspicion.

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of the power distribution room. Nakamichi poked his head out with a puzzled face, as if he wanted to check the situation with curious eyes, so he could only walk a few minutes towards the parking lot. step.

After such a delay, Mao Lilan on the other end of the phone obviously sensed something was wrong: "Student Yingyou, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Hondo Eisuke took a deep breath, and in order to avoid the improvised lie being exposed, he decided to tell some of the truth, saying: "I found my father's colleague here, maybe he is also looking for the whereabouts of my sister."

"Eh? So that's how it is! If you can find your sister, it will be the best gift for the New Year."

Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little wary: "By the way...Yingyou, you must pay attention to safety, and don't be fooled by others. If you need help, just call."

"Don't worry, I won't make a mistake."

Speaking of this, Hondo Eisuke still explained confidently: "After my father went to work abroad, he would occasionally call back. I am particularly impressed by the sound of the button when they sent an email, just like the 'seven children'. The tune of the nursery rhyme is exactly the same."

"Seven children?" Mao Lilan was taken aback... It seemed that Conan had mentioned this nursery rhyme some time ago.

What is the matter.

She didn't have time to think deeply.

I heard Hondo Eisuke continue to say: "Because I had never heard this voice when I lived with my father in Osaka, so I asked specifically when I was on the phone that time. My father said that while he was on the phone with me, Sending emails to the boss...you can't go wrong."

"That's good." Mao Lilan was happy for the other party, "See you later."

"See you later."

Hondo Eisuke said 'hmm' and hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, I still didn't turn off the phone, but adjusted the phone's incoming and outgoing calls to mute.

As everyone knows, at the same time, a Trojan command that had already been injected was activated directly after the trigger condition was met, and the content of the previous call was encrypted in text format and passed on.

Alas...the result still came out.

Although telling Maori about his investigation process is also a protective measure to some extent, but... next time, next time, I must not be so careless.

Here, Hondo Eisuke was still feeling annoyed by his inexperience, he shook his head and sighed softly, and was about to go back to the power distribution room, when suddenly a head wrapped in a bandage and with a strange smile protruded from the corner of the stairs.

Nakamichi gossips: "Hey, Yingyou, is the person who called you Mori-san?"

"Yeah, ask me about my New Year's resolution."

Eisuke Hondo said, as if he remembered something, he suddenly asked: "By the way, Mori and the others will come to visit you directly in the hospital, right?"

"Probably not? After all, they came to visit me in the hospital once more than a month ago after I fell to the head while playing football..."

Nakamichi was startled, then stopped suddenly, and stared at Hondo Yingyou, "Hey! Yingyou, don't change the subject!"

"What?" Hondo Eisuke was at a loss.

"It's Maori classmate."

Zhongdao asked: "If it's just to talk about the New Year's outlook, why did you come here and make a phone call secretly, and you don't want me to hear... Hey, no!"

His face suddenly became very exciting, "Could you be..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Hondo Eisuke didn't understand at first, but after seeing Nakamichi winking, he immediately reacted, and said with a blushing face, "No! Not at all!"

"Really?"

Nakamichi leaned over and bumped Eisuke Hondo with his elbow, "Student Mori is quite popular in our whole school, if it wasn't for a certain guy who is so outstanding, I'm afraid she would receive a lot of them every day." love letter, so you don’t have to be embarrassed even if you like him.”

"Um?"

Hondo Eisuke looked sideways slightly, "The guy you're talking about is..."

"Of course it's Kudo Shinichi!"

The middle road spreads its hands and said:

"That guy who plays soccer very well, he and Mao Li are childhood sweethearts, and that's not all. He's still only a high school student, but he has already started to cooperate with the police in investigating various criminal cases. Although he has kept a low profile recently, but your words ...can't be his match."

"Kudou... Shinichi."

Hondo Eisuke murmured the name in a low voice, and asked with an unclear meaning: "It seems that I haven't seen him since I transferred to another school..."

"I'm probably investigating some big eucalyptus again. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Nakamichi also looked like he was hearing the news, whispering: "Some time ago, there were rumors that he was dead, but it turned out that he didn't appear suddenly during the school festival, although there were several Kudos who also appeared together at the time..."

"Several?" Curiosity flashed in Eisuke Hondo's eyes, "What is that? You mean there are several Shinichi Kudos?"

"Well, it seems to be a special program from the drama club. It's a pity that you couldn't see it at that time," Nakado paused, with a serious expression on his face: "But... because during the performance of the program, the audience There was also a fatal accident, and the police do not allow us to publicize the details, so please don’t tell others.”

"Yeah, I won't gossip around, so hurry up and talk about the middle way." Hondo Eisuke hurriedly asked.

"Ahem, the matter will start with a scream after the stage lights go out..."

Nakamichi cleared his throat and spoke eloquently.
