After saying that, he left without looking back.
"Hey, what do you think of that guy?"
Watching the man's departing figure, Ai Haibara, taking advantage of Aragaki Yu's inattention, suddenly tugged at Conan's sleeve and asked.
Although she didn't sense any organizational aura from the man, she felt there was something strange about him.
His aura always gave Ai Haibara a special feeling.
This man is not an ordinary person!
Chapter 550 Missing
"No!" Conan, with his hands in his pockets, turned around and glanced at Ai Haibara in surprise.
After all, in his mind, someone so familiar with Sherlock Holmes couldn't possibly be a bad person.
"Oh, never mind if you don't have any." Ai Haibara muttered to herself as she watched James Black's figure gradually disappear.
Anyway, as long as it's not someone with any connection to the organization, she's just asking casually.
……
"This is strange, it's been 40 minutes already!" After more than half an hour, Professor Agasa, who was getting a little impatient, looked at the time on his watch and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Yeah, it's so slow!" Genta, who had been looking forward to the food that Mr. James Black had been talking about for a long time, also rubbed his stomach and complained.
Mitsuhiko also began to look around, trying hard to find Mr. James Black, "I wonder what he's doing."
"I'm starving!" Even Ayumi couldn't help but complain in her heart at this moment, and said weakly.
"Then why don't we let Professor Agasa wait here, and we go to the parking lot to see what's wrong with Mr. James!"
"That's good! There are only two parking lots that you can walk to from here, and I think he might have run into some trouble in the parking lot."
Mitsuhiko's suggestion was quickly accepted by Conan.
So Dr. Agasa stayed behind to avoid the awkward situation where Mr. James would arrive and find them nowhere to be found right after they left.
"Then, Aragaki, these children are in your care!" Professor Agasa said with a smile as he looked at Aragaki Yu.
With Yuu Aragaki along, plus Conan and Ai, Professor Agasa didn't seem worried about the kids going to find someone.
“Okay!” Aragaki Yu nodded to Professor Agasa, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at the snow woman flying towards him from the street.
That's right, the snow woman who followed James Black to the parking lot from the beginning has returned.
……
"Does this mean parking lot?"
A few minutes later, Mitsuhiko pointed to the English sign at the entrance and looked at Conan.
After receiving Conan's affirmative response, the members of the Junior Detective League excitedly rushed into the parking lot.
"Mr. James!"
"Mr. James?"
"Are you here, Mr. James?"
Several children kept weaving through the parked cars, searching for Mr. James Black.
Seeing Genta crawling under the car looking for something, Aragaki Yu was speechless.
This kid, could it be that he's gotten into a habit of looking for cats?
How could a normal person hide under a car like a cat?
Wait, if it's the FBI, then maybe not...
However, no one responded in the parking lot.
Just as the group was starting to lose heart, Mitsuhiko suddenly pointed to a car and shouted to them, "Ah! I found it! Mr. James's car, it must be this one!"
"Really? Is that so?"
Ayumi and Genta ran over excitedly, and even Conan and Ai walked over with great interest.
Seeing this, Aragaki Yu smiled and followed.
That's right. Judging from the snow woman's description, the car that Mitsuhiko was referring to was indeed Mr. James's car.
Surprisingly, the child actually found it.
After everyone came to the car and examined the vehicle that Mitsuhiko was pointing to, they finally understood why Mitsuhiko thought the car belonged to Mr. James.
Although the car itself was nothing special, there was a Leon doll placed in front of the driver's seat.
"But there's no one in the car!" Genta said, peering out the car window.
Conan, however, frowned as he looked at the driver's side door that had been partially opened.
The car doors were open and the keys were in, but why was there no one in or near the car?
Although it cannot be confirmed whether the car belongs to Mr. James.
However, Conan was certain of one thing: the owner of this car had probably encountered some real trouble.
Are you looking for someone?
Just then, several children holding soccer balls suddenly appeared on the side.
"Hmm?" Conan looked at the children curiously.
"If you're looking for a bearded foreigner, he and two uncles in coats went in that direction!" the leading child explained enthusiastically, pointing to a small alley across the street.
Conan, realizing that things might be going badly, didn't even have time to say thank you before rushing off to where the child was pointing.
"Conan, where are you going?" Genta and the others were puzzled, but they quickly chased after him.
"Thank you so much!"
Only Yuu Aragaki and Ai Haibara remained standing by the car, staring at the children holding the soccer ball.
Aragaki Yuu, who reluctantly turned his gaze away from Conan's retreating figure, also smiled as he looked at the children.
It must be said that these children are indeed very enthusiastic.
However, after patting the head of the leading child, Aragaki Yu changed his expression and reminded him sternly, "But you can't play football in the parking lot anymore. If you accidentally break someone's car window, your parents might spank you."
"!!!"
Upon hearing what Aragaki Yu said, the children's expressions changed instantly, clearly recalling some unpleasant memories.
It wasn't until Aragaki Yu uttered two sounds to remind them to come to their senses that the children nodded palely and ran away in a panic.
Ai Haibara, who witnessed this scene, glanced at Yuu Aragaki with some surprise.
I never expected this guy to have this side to him.
the other side.
Conan, who was leading the way, quickly ran to the other end of the alley.
He looked around at the road at the end of the alley, but did not see Mr. James or any other suspicious person.
"Conan, what happened?" The next second, the children who had finally caught up with Conan were also looking at him breathlessly.
"..."
Conan didn't answer the children immediately. It wasn't until he finally saw a Leon cell phone pendant lying on the ground that his already furrowed brows deepened.
Sure enough, Mr. James encountered some bad luck.
Chapter 551 The guy who was this unlucky last time is still in prison.
Soon after, Yuu Aragaki and Ai Haibara also arrived.
"It's that cell phone charm." Ai Haibara noticed the Leon charm in Conan's hand immediately.
Ayumi thought for a moment, then asked with some doubt, "Is it Mr. James's?"
“If that’s the case, then she might have taken another car from here and left.” Ai Haibara shifted her gaze from the pendant to Conan’s serious face and said slowly.
However, she also intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the word "sit".
At that moment, Mitsuhiko suddenly remembered what Mr. James had said before, "I remember Mr. James said that he was originally going to meet with someone else, you guys remember that too, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tai almost jumped up in a panic, muttering excitedly, "That foreigner probably forgot about us and went out to eat something delicious with his friends!"
“No, he hasn’t forgotten us.” At this moment, Conan, who had been silently thinking about something, finally stood up and said to the children, “I think Mr. James might be in some trouble. He wouldn’t have left his cell phone charm in his coat pocket here.”
Although he was speaking to the children, his gaze unconsciously fell on Aragaki Yu.
That's right, it seems that this time, it will be his and Aragaki's turn to take the lead again.
The next second, Conan also fully revealed the phone charm in his hand to everyone: "Look, what is this?"
On the decorative ribbon that Mr. James had previously shown, the letters “P”, “&”, and “A” on it all showed signs of being smeared with blood.
"A code." Looking at the pendant in Conan's hand, Yu Aragaki muttered to himself, pretending to be serious.
“Hmm.” Conan nodded and continued, “If I’m not mistaken, I think Mr. James guessed that we would come to see him and wanted to use this phone pendant to convey some message.”
