Downstairs, a pink BMW stopped. Kisaki Eri ran out from inside, walking up quickly.
Kazuha held onto Heiji and followed closely behind, looking nervous.
Kisaki Eri pushed the door open directly, walking in quickly:
"What exactly happened?"
The entire office was messy, beer cans were everywhere, like a garbage dump.
Kogoro Mouri sat slumped on the sofa, eyes glazed over, face full of stubble, having not a shred of reaction to Kisaki Eri's arrival.
A flash of anger crossed Kisaki Eri's eyes. Her fists clenched tightly, walking directly to the sofa:
"Can you explain clearly, that is my daughter."
Her voice wasn't very loud, but carried a repressed anger.
Kogoro Mouri raised his head, his eyes slightly revealing a trace of luster:
"Eri, Ran must have been kidnapped, she was kidnapped. No news all night, doesn't answer phone calls either, what to do? What to do?"
He unexpectedly cried like a child, tears flowing down.
Kisaki Eri was full of anger, but couldn't explode.
Heiji frowned, walking over:
"Uncle Mouri, tell us the specific situation once."
"Teacher~"
Kazuha gently hugged Kisaki Eri's shoulders, comforting each other.
Seeing Heiji, Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up, standing up abruptly:
"Hattori... Hattori, you must help me, find Ran, must find her."
As if grasping the last straw, Kogoro Mouri at this moment didn't look like a famous detective at all.
"What exactly happened to Ran? Can you pull yourself together?"
Kisaki Eri had already reached the verge of exploding, her beautiful eyes frosty.
"Yesterday, I was drinking in a small shop. I called Ran, told her I would be back a bit later. But, suddenly was scolded by her, then she hung up. When I came back at eleven o'clock at night, Ran wasn't there. Called Conan, he said he was at Professor Agasa's house, and didn't know where Ran was either."
"When did Ran call you?"
Heiji looked at Kogoro Mouri.
"Around three-twenty in the afternoon."
"What? From three in the afternoon to eleven at night, you didn't call back?" Kisaki Eri suddenly shouted angrily.
Kogoro Mouri glared at Kisaki Eri:
"How would I know Ran would be kidnapped."
Kisaki Eri glanced coldly at Kogoro Mouri.
"Lawyer Kisaki, the time you called Ran was also around that time, right?"
Kisaki Eri froze: "Could it be my feeling at that time was right?"
"What exactly did she say to you at that time?"
"Ran asked where I was at that time, then said 'be careful' and hung up. Her voice was very low at that time, I thought she had a cold." Kisaki Eri's face was somewhat pale: "Could it be, she was calling for help at that time?"
If Ran's call was for help, and she didn't hear it, then...
Kisaki Eri's face became increasingly pale.
Heiji frowned, a thought flashing through his mind: Could it be Ran really misunderstood at that time? But, with her character, she shouldn't disappear for no reason.
"Ran, Ran..."
A burst of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the stairs. Sonoko ran in hurriedly, wearing an office uniform, looking nervous.
"Heiji, was Ran really kidnapped?"
After looking around and not finding Ran's figure, she threw herself fiercely into her boyfriend's arms, body trembling constantly.
Heiji embraced Sonoko's slender waist, comforting her gently:
"Don't worry, Ran won't be in trouble."
Kazuha had to support Kisaki Eri, otherwise she also wanted to throw herself into Heiji's arms. Towards Ran, the feelings she invested were also not shallow.
On the road, a skateboard was traveling at high speed.
[Damn it, how did I not hear the ringtone at that time.]
Conan's eyes were full of remorse, fists clenched tightly, veins exposed, showing his extremely unquiet inner heart.
"Hello, the number you dialed is powered off, please try again later."
Countless times dialing the phone, yet what came was this smart voice message that made him despair.
The speed of the skateboard was unexpectedly as fast as a small car.
"Kudo, where are you right now?"
"I am looking for Ran."
"Do you have a train of thought?"
On the phone, Heiji's voice suddenly became relaxed.
"No, Hattori, help me look. You are so familiar with people in the MPD, mobilize, please."
Conan's voice was very sincere.
"Kudo, did Ran call you before?"
Conan froze, then nodded silently:
"I was tracking Gin and Vodka at that time, didn't hear."
"So, you didn't listen to anything I said before, right?"
"This is different. If I don't track, how can I restore my original form in the future? I don't want to be with Ran like this for a lifetime." Conan knew he was wrong, but he had no choice.
"This is just your wishful thinking, you can choose to tell Ran."
"No, this will implicate her." Conan said decisively...
"You are being selfish, this is distrust towards Ran."
"Selfish? I think this is the best way to protect Ran."
On the other end of the phone, Heiji sneered:
"Whatever you like, just don't regret it in the future."
"The path I chose, I don't regret."
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Conan muttered to himself firmly, looking determined.
After hanging up the phone, Heiji drove the car, roaming aimlessly on the road.
[Before yesterday Ran was fine, didn't have any abnormalities. Which means the matter was caused yesterday.]
[Things that happened yesterday...]
Heiji's eyes lit up abruptly: Could the person following behind be Ran?
"Hello, Heiji~"
"Sonoko, did Ran have club activities yesterday, and was the location near Lawyer Kisaki's office?"
"How did Heiji know?"
Heiji's mouth hooked up into a smile:
"It's fine, I'll continue searching."
After hanging up the phone, Heiji drove directly towards Officer Shiratori's apartment.
[It looks like yesterday's phone call was just a fuse. The real reason is Ran misunderstood the matter between me and Kisaki Eri.]
[It's just, impossible for her not to answer the phone.]
The pink BMW sped on the road. The river embankment beside slowly lowered, revealing patches of slopes.
Heiji braked abruptly!
A young girl sat quietly on the slope, hugging her knees with both hands, gazing ahead.
"Feeling better?"
The young girl froze slightly, then raised her head to look behind. Her confused eyes slowly became clear.
"Heiji? Why did you come?"
This young girl was exactly Ran; she had been sitting here all night.
Heiji smiled faintly, draping a jacket over her:
"I came to act as an angel for a dummy."
Ran's eyes carried a trace of doubt.
"Yesterday, Lawyer Kisaki looked for me, said..."
Listening to Heiji's narration, Ran's dull eyes became brighter and brighter:
"Heiji, is what you said true? Mom's new boyfriend is you?"
Heiji nodded helplessly:
"Fake boyfriend."
"Great, so it was fake."
Ran suddenly fell to the side. Heiji hurriedly held her, frowning tightly:
"You didn't stay up all night, did you?"
Soon, she fell into a deep sleep.
