I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

Hattori Shizuka's tone also became uncertain.

However, just when Inspector Megure was about to give up this line of thought, three small figures not far away suddenly ran towards them.

"If there is anything unusual, there is! The kabayaki eel was stolen!"

"Grilled eel... uh, why are you guys here too?"

Following the sound, he turned his head and saw the three little ones coming into view. Inspector Megure couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

Why are these three naughty kids here again? And what the hell is the eel being stolen? Did they watch some plot in Kamen Rider Black? But what they stole was also a raw fish...

“It’s true, it’s true!”

Seeing Inspector Megure's look of disbelief, Ayumi pointed to the row of food carts behind and said repeatedly.

"There were still a lot of unagi on the food truck before the lights went out at the start of the press conference, but when the lights came back on after the press conference, the unagi and the food truck disappeared. We all suspected that someone had stolen them."

“This shouldn’t be…”

Inspector Megure wanted to casually say that this should be impossible, but the moment he looked up, he was slightly stunned.

He saw an abrupt gap in a row of dining cars placed against the wall not far away, but what touched the nerves of this old detective even more was the size of these dining cars.

Although the dining car is covered with a white tablecloth, it can be seen that there should be storage space underneath the dining car, and this space is just enough to fit an adult.

Add to that the arc light that Ms. Hattori mentioned earlier, could it be that...

Inspector Megure clenched his fist and hit his palm: "I understand! The criminal used the dining car to commit the crime. He most likely took advantage of the lights out to electrocute Mr. Suzuki, and then stuffed him into the lower level of the dining car, covered him with a tablecloth and took him away. Takagi! Go to the hotel and retrieve the surveillance footage to see where this dining car went!"

"Yes!"

Takagi stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and jogged out of the venue.

But at this moment, Yuan Tai, who seemed to have accidentally become the key to solving the case, rubbed his nose and chuckled complacently.

"No need to go through so much trouble, just look for the eel... Oh no, leave the dining car to me!"

? ?

The scene then changed, and five minutes later, Serabelle and others had arrived at the hotel's kitchen.

Because of the police's order, especially after they deduced that the criminal most likely stunned people and hid them in a dining cart to take them away from the venue, even the hotel staff who originally worked in the kitchen were taken to a special location for questioning.

So at this moment the entire hotel kitchen was empty, with no one there.

It was Yuantai who brought them here... This chubby little guy was now moving forward little by little with his nose close to the ground in a not-so-standard canine walking posture, sniffing as he walked.

And the expression on Serabelle's face, who was walking behind with Suzuki Tomoko, Hattori Shizuka, Ooka Momiji and others, had changed from her usual =_= to a capital 0_0.

How did you say that?

Dogs can do this because their sense of smell is several times stronger than that of humans, but for humans to achieve this level... I feel like it can't be explained by just saying that their potential has exploded.

This is simply the release of talent.

So this little fat guy is not an eel eater at all, but an eel hunter?

I feel like I should be able to become a fisherman in the future, specializing in catching eels. My nickname is the Eel Chop Immortal. I specialize in catching delicious eels with the most powerful weapon in British politics, the elbow. When serving food in my own restaurant, I shout "Eel Chop Out"...

Serabel's mind was full of random thoughts. As the group was walking, Yuantai, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

He stopped sniffing the ground and raised his head. He saw a food cart loaded with grilled eels parked quietly at the end of the corridor between the kitchen containers not far away.

"Found it! The stolen yaki eel!"

Finding the eel is of no use, the key is to find the person.

However, Inspector Megure is not stupid. Now that the food truck has been found, the remaining things to do are very clear.

He waved his arms decisively to direct his subordinates.

"Search carefully over here and report any clues you find!"

"Yes!"*2

The precise range had been confirmed and everyone quickly got busy.

Serabelle looked around and noticed that there was a little bit of yakiniku sauce on the closed cabinet door on the side for some reason.

After a moment's thought, he bent over and reached out to open the cabinet door.

squeak--

The light from the kitchen shone through the gap in the cabinet door. Inside the cabinet, Shiro Suzuki was lying quietly with his hands and feet tied and his mouth sealed, apparently unconscious.

Chapter 811 Conan's heart is broken.JPG

The person was found, but still alive.

So in just five minutes, Shiro Suzuki, who had been missing for nearly half an hour and was finally found in the hotel kitchen, was rushed to the medical room inside the hotel.

"...Hmm~ It is true that the coma was caused by the electric shock, and there were no obvious scars found on other parts of the body."

At the bedside in the infirmary's lounge, the doctor took off his glasses and spoke after giving Suzuki Shiro, who had just regained consciousness, a quick checkup.

"Don't worry, he's fine. He'll be fine as long as he gets back and has a good rest."

"Huh, that's good..."

When Yuanzi heard the doctor say that there was nothing serious, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

After the doctor left, she immediately went to the bedside of Suzuki Shiro, who had just woken up and whose eyes were still a little hazy, and held her father's hand that was exposed from under the quilt with concern.

"Dad, how do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Oh, it's Sonoko, it's okay, it's okay..."

The effects of the coma had not yet completely subsided. Shiro Suzuki turned his gaze towards his daughter somewhat slowly, then shook his head.

"Nothing serious, I just feel a little groggy and a little hazy, so what happened?"

"This...we still want to ask you, Dad."

Sonoko turned around and gestured to the others behind her, including Serabelle Ooka Momiji and Hattori Shizuka.

Although it is a bed in the infirmary, it is just an infirmary in a hotel after all. It cannot be compared with the ward in a professional large hospital. It is just a small space separated by a curtain in the infirmary.

A large group of people filled this space of less than six square meters.

"I, I'm not sure either..."

Shiro Suzuki tried hard to recall with blurry eyes.

"It was just after the lights were turned off at the press conference. I vaguely felt someone walking up from behind, but I had no recollection of it after that. When I woke up, I was already here."

Ok……

Although this explanation is reasonable, after all, one cannot expect a person who was electrocuted by a surprise attack to remember many details before losing consciousness. However, this is equivalent to the criminal not leaving any clues at all.

After thinking in silence for a while, Inspector Megure suddenly turned his head and looked at Takagi beside him.

"By the way, brother Takagi, where is Sato? Why can't I see her?"

"Ah, Officer Sato separated from us after she found the man in the kitchen. She said she wanted to check the hotel's surveillance. After all, although the lights in the venue were off due to the press conference, the criminal had to push the food cart all the way back to the kitchen, and the camera would definitely have recorded it in the process, hehehe..."

Seeing his boss's expression getting worse and worse as he spoke, Takagi could only scratch his head in embarrassment.

Inspector Megure sighed speechlessly: "Really, I clearly gave you the task of removing the surveillance camera, why did you let Sato go instead of you?"

"Sorry sorry..."

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

After briefly passing over the topic, Inspector Megure's expression returned to being serious.

"But this is the second time this has happened. It's exactly the same as what happened to President Mitsutsuka last week..."

"Mitsuka?"

Before he finished speaking, Suzuki Shiro, who was still lying on the hospital bed, had a slight flicker in his eyes and forced himself to sit up.

"So my situation this time is exactly the same as what my friend encountered before..."

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, it was done by the same criminal."

Inspector Megure nodded firmly.

The content of the conversation between the two people sounded like an encrypted call, leaving the people around them confused.

Which President Mitsuzuka? What do you mean the same criminal did it?

Even Sonoko, the daughter, looked confused after hearing this.

"Dad, who is this President Mitsutsuka you are talking about?"

"That's Aunt Yingzi who gave you snacks a few days ago. Don't you remember her?"

The one who spoke was Tomoko Suzuki, who explained science to her daughter calmly.

"Their family specializes in desserts and they are currently learning golf with your father."

"Oh, so you two are ball friends..."

Sonoko nodded in understanding, and after about half a second, she suddenly came to her senses.

"No, no, Dad, why did you go play golf alone with the female president?!"

Ok?

what?

At the same moment, Suzuki Tomoko and Suzuki Shiro were both stunned, and they looked at each other subconsciously.

Then Suzuki Shiro waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, no, I'm not alone. There are other people with me, right, the mother?"

As he said this, he looked at Suzuki Tomoko next to him for help, as if seeking a witness.

Suzuki Tomoko immediately understood: "Ah, yes, yes, I know about this. Your father and Aunt Yingzi are just golfing friends. Besides, it was you who brought this up. It was you who said your father was too fat and needed to exercise more, so he signed up for a golf class. Aunt Yingzi just happened to be with your father."

"is that so?"

Unexpectedly, the source of the problem turned out to be herself, and Miss Sonoko's eyes instantly became small.

But it can only be said that those who are involved are confused while those who are not involved can see things clearly. When the same scene falls into the eyes of Sezlabelle, his acting can only be described as poor.

But as long as I can fool my daughter, it won't be a big problem.

wow——

The sound came from behind, and the bed curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside.

"what?"

Officer Sato, who had previously split up to check the surveillance, looked in from outside, but when he saw so many people inside, he stopped and decided not to squeeze in.

"Inspector, I'm back."

"...Ah, Sato, you're back. How's the surveillance video?"

Inspector Megure looked back at the sound and couldn't help but show anticipation on his face.

But the policewoman's answer was a regretful shake of her head.

"I didn't find any useful information. The criminal's method was very sophisticated. He used a chef's hat and a large chef's uniform to cover his appearance. The only thing I can confirm is that he should be fat, but because of this, I can't tell whether the criminal is a man or a woman."

"It's okay, Sato. Just being able to confirm the criminal's body shape is already a huge step forward. Thank you for your hard work!"

Inspector Megure encouraged.

Suzuki Shiro, who was able to sit up normally at this time, asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, how did you find me in the end?"

"Hum..."

"Well..."

Before Inspector Megure could speak, three small figures emerged from the crowd and came to the bedside. They were Genta Ayumi Mitsuhiko.

"Of course it's our Junior Detective Team!"*3

And Mitsuhiko added another sentence.

"To be precise, it was Yuan Taijun's nose that found it. He sniffed the scent of eels all the way to find the place where you were hiding, uncle."
