Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 536: A dog who licks you will not die well! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Uncle, let's start investigating from the restaurants nearby!"

Conan touched his chin, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Maybe we can find some clues."

Mao Lilan nodded, her eyes full of expectation, and said, "Let's investigate one by one!"

As she spoke, she did not forget to urge her boyfriend and old father, "Bai Ye, Dad, let's go, let's go quickly!"

"Huh?" Maori Xiaowu frowned, showing a reluctant look, and muttered: "You guys want to go too?"

If it was just him and Miss Maya who were involved in this investigation, then he would naturally be more than happy to do so.

But if it came with a bunch of tails, he would not be very happy about it.

Mao Lilan rolled her eyes at him unhappily and said firmly, "Of course I'm going."

As a father, she usually likes to chat up pretty women. If she lets the other party investigate alone, she seriously suspects that by the time the investigation results come out, she may have a stepmother.

No, maybe there is no need for the investigation results to come out. Some lustful guy might cause some trouble because of his lustful character!
“It’s a real headache.”

Maori Kogoro sighed slightly, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Then let's act quickly! Xiaolan, Bai Ye, Conan, let's go!"

His daughter has said so much, does he dare to ask her not to go with her?
I definitely wouldn’t dare.

Otherwise, his daughter would definitely suspect that he had ulterior motives and was up to no good, intending to use the opportunity of the investigation to curry favor with Miss Maya and get close to her.

Well, although he did have this idea in his heart, that's it.

"Um……"

……

"Are you really okay, Miss Maya?"

Looking at Maya who was still walking a little unsteadily, Mao Lilan couldn't help but ask with concern.

Hearing this, before Maya could reply, Maori Kogoro beside her couldn't help but interrupt and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal. After all, the doctor has given the OK!"

Without the hospital's permission, he wouldn't dare to bring Maya out like this.

In other words, they were worried about letting the other person leave the hospital.

Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips and glared at her father unhappily, "Dad, I'm not asking you..."

Haha, I’ve never seen anyone be so attentive in front of her mother.

As a result, now that he has met Miss Maya, he has become like a lackey, asking him about his well-being, serving him attentively.

That bastard dad is really hopeless.

How sad her mother would be if she knew!
Maya took a deep breath and forced herself to cheer up, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

When she said this, she paused, with a look of desire in her eyes, "I also want to know who I am, so take me with you, okay?"

There was a look of desire in her eyes, which made people unable to refuse. "Please, Mr. Detective, take me with you!"

Maori Kogoro looked at the torn page in his hand which contained the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 5, Section 3, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Of course there is no problem with that. Maybe you can remember something else. According to my reasoning, this Bible is only available in hotels above three stars, so we will go to those hotels to look for it later. By then, we should be able to find the hotel where you, Miss Maya, are staying."

After saying this, he proudly raised the pages of the book in his hand, as if all the credit belonged to him.

Conan laughed in his heart.

This foolish uncle always takes credit for other people's work. He is so shameless!
It's a pity that he only dared to think about such things in his heart and didn't dare to say them out loud. Otherwise, some shameless private detective would be so angry that he would definitely teach him a lesson with his fists.

"..."

As for Mao Lilan on the side, she was already accustomed to her father's "lustful" character of coming up to beautiful women and asking about their well-being whenever he met them. She was no longer surprised by it.

Therefore, she was not surprised at all when the other party acted like a flatterer in order to get close to Miss Maya.

Maori Kogoro didn't realize that Conan still had thoughts about his daughter. Instead, he waved his hand and directly set the first search target: "First, let's go to the nearby Matt Hotel."

"it is good……"

Naturally, people would not have too many objections to this.

The nearby hotels are not too far from the hospital, so it doesn’t matter where you go to investigate first.

Maybe they will be lucky and come across the hotel where Maya is staying first, so they can walk less.

……

"Excuse me, may I ask, has this lady ever stayed in your hotel?"

As soon as he entered the Matt Hotel, Maori Xiaowu strode to the front desk and asked the front desk for information about Maya.

As he spoke, he turned slightly and pointed at Maya beside him.

The receptionist was startled by the sudden inquiry. Her eyes briefly lingered on Maya, and she quickly checked the check-in list.

Then he shook his head and politely responded, "I'm sorry, sir, this lady has never stayed in our hotel."

Maori Xiaowu frowned, unwilling to give up, took out the torn page of the book and handed it to the front desk, asking: "Do you have this kind of Bible here?"

The receptionist and the colleague next to him looked at the torn book in confusion, then looked at each other, shook their heads again and said, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have such pages in our hotel."

Maori Xiaowu continued to ask, "Do you know which hotels nearby have this kind of Bible?"

The receptionist thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there seems to be one in the nearby XX Hotel, but I'm not sure if it's exactly the same."

Mao Lilan and Bai Ye exchanged glances and said thoughtfully: "As for XX Hotel, we can go and take a look."

"Hmm..." Conan nodded in agreement.

So everyone turned around and left the Matt Hotel and walked towards the nearby XX Hotel.

Unfortunately, after arriving at XX Hotel, the response I got was not satisfactory.

Maori Xiaowu asked several nearby hotels without giving up, but the answers he got were all the same.

"Miss, is she your guest?"

"I'm sorry, sir, this lady is not a guest of our hotel!"

"Excuse me, do you know this lady?"

"Excuse me, sir, this is the first time I see this lady."

... "This is already the twelfth house. I'm so tired."

After wiping the sweat off her face, Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips, her expression full of fatigue and loss.

Today they took Maya to every hotel looking for clues, but they didn't get any results.

After working for a long time, they got nothing in return. This really dampened their enthusiasm.

With heavy hearts, everyone set out on the road to the twelfth hotel.

What everyone never expected was that just as they were about to step into the twelfth restaurant, the guard at the door took the initiative to greet Maya who was about to enter, "Ms. Tachibana, welcome."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but ask in surprise: "You...you know this lady?"

The guard nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, Miss Ju is a guest of our hotel."

Everyone looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes, realizing that they might have found the right place this time.

So, everyone hurriedly took Maye to the hotel front desk to check Maye's accommodation records.

"Ms. Maya Tachibana checked into our hotel two days ago. Please see."

Looking at the check-in list handed over by the staff, Mao Lilan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with excitement, and said excitedly: "Great, I finally found it."

It was not easy. After searching so many restaurants, they finally found the right answer.

Their hard work today was finally not in vain.

Ran Mao Li's heart was full of expectations. She believed that as long as they continued to work hard, sooner or later they would be able to identify Maya's identity and help her regain her memory.

With such expectation, Mao Lilan took the lead and walked towards the elevator with light steps.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mori and others hurried to follow.

What they didn't know was that when they were getting on the elevator, behind a pillar in front of the elevator, there was a man dressed suspiciously who was watching their every move intently.

And this man was none other than the man who had looked at Kogoro Mori through the telescope at the horse racing track that morning.

……

"This is really great."

Arriving at Miss Maya's room, Maori Kogoro strode to the bedside, picked up the Bible on the bedside, and began to search. Soon, he found a torn page.

He hurriedly took out the torn page he was carrying and carefully compared it with the incomplete part of the Bible in his hand.

After taking out the torn page he was carrying and comparing it with the incomplete part of the Bible in his hand, Kogoro Mori narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help revealing a hint of joy on his face.

Because the missing page was the one they had found on Maya earlier.

Of course, only the Bible was found, which at most only proves that Maya Tachibana did stay in this room. It cannot provide more clues, let alone further reveal her identity.

So, they thought for a moment and decided to search the items in the room.

Conan immediately set his eyes on a bag in the closet. When Kogoro Mouri was checking the clothes in the closet, he directly opened the bag, wanting to collect clues from it.

However, what he never expected was that the package did not contain the identity information of Tachibana Maya as he imagined, but pieces of women's underwear.

Such a sudden change made him a little overwhelmed and he stood there in a daze.

Seeing this, Mao Lilan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly snatched the bag away, then looked at Conan meaningfully and said, "These are all women's things. It's inconvenient for you, so I'll take a look."

"Um……"

Conan naturally would not refuse her behavior.

After a careful examination, Mao Lilan sighed slightly, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"There is nothing that can identify Miss Maya's identity."

She thought she could find some clues about Maya Tachibana's identity from those personal clothes, but the result disappointed her greatly.

Conan pondered for a while, raised his head and looked at Maya Tachibana beside him, "Sister Maya, have you thought of anything?"

Maya Tachibana shook her head blankly, her eyes were empty and her face was full of confusion and entanglement.

Seeing the bewilderment, confusion and entanglement on her face, Maori Kogoro touched his chin and couldn't help feeling distressed. "This is really a headache. The address and phone number registered at the counter are all fake, but it is a fact that Maya lives in this room. This is strange!"

"Is my name real? What the hell is this... ah!"

Maye was wondering, but before she could finish her words, she felt a splitting headache. Her face turned pale instantly, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead, and she couldn't help but cover her head with her hands.

For a moment, some vague images flashed through her mind. It was the shape of a pendant.

Subconsciously, she reached for the pendant hanging around her neck.

Noticing her strange behavior, Conan blinked and asked curiously, "What do you think, Maya-sister?"

He thought that Tachibana Maya would give him an answer, but who would have thought that his words touched Tachibana Maya in some way, causing her to hold her head and scream in pain, "My head hurts... it hurts..."

"I don't want to think about it anymore!"

After saying that, she suddenly opened the door and ran out.

"Sister Maya..."

"Ms. Maya..."

Seeing this, everyone who was worried about her safety hurriedly chased her outside.

"Danger!"

However, just as they ran out of the hotel, a car in the square seemed to lose control and rushed straight towards Kogoro Mouri and Maya Tachibana.

Maya Tachibana reacted very quickly and immediately pulled Kogoro Mori to the side to avoid the attack of the car, then lowered her body and assumed a defensive posture.

"That person is..."

"The man I met at the racetrack!"

Conan's pupils suddenly shrank, because he suddenly realized that the driver who was driving the car and trying to hit Maori Kogoro and Tachibana Maya was the suspicious man he and Bai Ye found at the racecourse that day.

"Why did he attack Miss Maya?"

This attack was a follow-up to the observation that day. Was Miss Maya attacked because she was implicated by Maori Kogoro? Or was Maori Kogoro the one who was innocently implicated?
With such doubts and puzzlement, Conan quickly stepped forward and chased the vehicle that was about to retreat after missing the first shot...
