Chapter 4 Borrowing a Car

A few days later.

Mika Town, Mori Detective Agency.

"Eh?! Were all the cash truck robbers killed last time?"

Mao Lilan, a beautiful high school girl with a special hairstyle and increasingly angular hair, is currently studying in Class B of the second grade of Didan High School.

In the living room on the second floor of the office, Kogoro Mouri sat behind his desk, tugging on his tie twice, looking serious but a little nonchalant.

"Yes, one is a guy named Kaizuka Shiro. He was found dead at home, and the police also found an escape route map from his home on the day of the robbery."

"Eh? Uncle Maori, what about the other one?" Conan asked curiously.

"Ah, you also know the other one, the injured Kishii guard. According to my guess, there may have been a falling out among the robbers. Someone wanted to keep the money for themselves, so they killed both of them."

"Well, don't worry, I think the case will be solved soon."

"Huh? Why? Did the police find anything else?"

Mouri Kogoro leaned back in his chair with a relaxed expression, picked up the remote control and prepared to turn on the TV.

In front of the sofa in the living room, Mao Lilan and Conan looked at him eagerly, waiting for him to continue.

Deliberately putting it off, Mouri Kogoro was satisfied by Xiaoran and Conan's curiosity for knowledge, and paused, "That's because, at Kaizuka's house, the police found a pink lipstick, and initially It is inferred that it is probably the lipstick of the robber who is planning to keep the stolen money."

When Xiaolan heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her thirst for knowledge was satisfied, and she felt a little happy that the case was about to be solved.

However, Conan, who was sitting on the sofa with his arms and legs stretched out, couldn't help but stare when he heard this, resting his chin on his hand, and fell into deep thought.

"Uncle, Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to Dr. Ali's house to play video games~"

"Come back soon!"

Rice flower apartment.

Hirota Masami was fully dressed, with a firm look in her eyes, she picked up the key and opened the door directly.

However, as soon as the door opened, he saw Koji Shimizu at the door, who seemed to be about to ring her doorbell. He blinked and looked a little confused.

"Huh? It's Haoji. It's so rare. Did you encounter any problems?"

The firm eyes suddenly softened, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yami-sister doesn't plan to let me in? Or does it mean that Yami-sensei plans to go out?"

As soon as Shimizu Koji opened his mouth, Hirota Masami was very surprised. Shimizu Koji had always called her Miss Hirota, and occasionally Miss Masami, but this was the first time that she was called 'Ms. Masami' so directly.

Looking at the smile on Koji Shimizu's face, Masami Hirota suddenly felt a strange feeling for some reason.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I've been dizzy at home recently. Come in quickly."

Masami Hirota resigned after the bank robbery. Of course Koji Shimizu knew about this, and because of this, he had been paying attention to it recently.

It doesn't matter if you don't pay attention. Once you pay attention, the secrets are revealed little by little, just like a bottomless abyss that attracts people to explore. Until you see the true face of the abyss, it is already too late.

The technology and computer technology of this era are relatively backward. Koji Shimizu uses a computer. He cannot be said to be a powerful hacker in the Internet that is not yet fully developed, but he can still be regarded as a fish in water.

Then, through continuous research into the bank armored truck robbery, Shimizu Koji discovered a fact that made him somewhat confused.

Hirota Masami, the eldest sister next door who had been taking care of him, turned out to be one of the three robbers, and she was also the so-called one who planned to keep the stolen money until the end.

When he walked into the room, the furnishings in the room were almost the same as when he came a few days ago, with no changes. And Koji Shimizu, who had been paying attention to Hirota Masami, naturally knew that Hirota Masami hardly stayed at home during the day these days.

After Hirota Masami led Shimizu Koji into the house, he poured a cup of hot water and sat on the sofa with Shimizu Koji.

"Thank you. Did Sister Yami plan to go out just now?"

"Ah, that's right. I've been staying at home for a long time and I plan to go out and go shopping in the mall."

Hirota Masami was stunned for a moment. She felt that there was something different about Shimizu Koji today, but she couldn't explain it.

"That's quite a coincidence."

Shimizu Koji took a few sips of the hot water and hesitated. Before he came, he didn't expect Hirota Masami to choose to meet the mastermind behind the scenes at this time today.

That's right, the mastermind behind it. If nothing else, it was simply that Masami Hirota had some leverage that was being manipulated by the people behind the scenes, and Masami Hirota had a reason to go.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Koji Shimizu to think of any other reasons that would allow Masami Hirota, who couldn't help but take care of his neighbor even when he was planning to rob the armored truck, to commit the robbery.

I thought back to Hirota Masami's firm eyes at the door just now, as if she knew she was going to die but was determined to die.

It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes, at least he didn't come too late.

However, after seeing such a determined look, he may have to make some changes in his strategy. Shimizu Hiroshi tapped his knees with two fingers.

"I'm sorry about that, Koji. If nothing happens, I might have to go out. I have an appointment with someone else."

Seeing that Shimizu Koji didn't say a word after he came in, and looked at his watch, Hirota Masami couldn't hold it back any longer.

"Oh, does Yami-sister have an appointment with anyone else? I'm sorry to disturb you."

Kouji Shimizu was too lazy to explain why he came here, because Hirota Masami didn't need his explanation and wouldn't listen.

If he didn't confront Hirota Masami, he would only have one choice.

A few minutes after entering, Koji Shimizu and Hirota Masami left the house again. Hirota Masami smiled apologetically, waved her hand and disappeared into the elevator.

In the corridor, he stood at the door of Hirota's house and waited for a while. After hearing the sound of the elevator opening and closing, Koji Shimizu was about to walk to the stairs, but suddenly there was a click behind him, which made him stop in his tracks.

"Eh? Conan?"

Kouji Shimizu still remembered this uneducated kid, but at this moment, he was a little confused when he saw him coming out of Masami's house.

"Why are you here?"

Conan was still dizzy and covering his neck. When he heard someone calling him, he subconsciously said, "Ms. Masami, don't go."

Kouji Shimizu came back to his senses, suppressed his doubts, glanced at him, and then chased after him at the stairs.

I got downstairs a little late, but I just saw Hirota Masami driving out of the garage, and Shimizu Koji glanced at the road and saw a red Mazda car with its window half open.

Shimizu Koji walked quickly to the front of the car, pulled the door handle of the driver's seat, and it opened directly, which saved him the effort of picking the lock.

Less than five minutes after Shimizu Koji walked, two tall and beautiful women came out of the coffee shop on the street, one with short hair and heroic spirit, and the other with long black hair and beautiful beauty.

"I didn't expect that you, Yumi, were transferred to Mika. If I hadn't met you, I really wouldn't know."

"Hehe, isn't this a surprise for Miwako, eh?"

"What's wrong?"

"Miwako, were you with your colleagues when you came?" Miyamoto Yumi retracted her gaze and blinked at Sato Miwako.

Seeing Yumi suddenly stop and her expression become a little dull, Sato Miwako couldn't help but wonder, didn't Yumi know that she drove here alone?

"No."

"Mivako! Something bad has happened! Your car has been stolen!"

"Huh?!!!"
