Chapter 310 Siblings with a huge difference in appearance
On a brand new day, Hikoshi Akutagawa was instructing Subaru Okiya and Toshiya Tadokoro in their training at the detective agency, but the five members of the Junior Detective League suddenly appeared at the agency.
"Brother Ayan, we've come to play with you!"
Ayumi greeted Akutagawa Hiko, who had saved them many times, very warmly, and the other two also greeted her in return.
Akutagawa Hiko cast a questioning look at Conan and Ai. He remembered that the two of them had been invited out to play baseball by the other three. How come they ended up here after such a short time?
Subaru Okiya quite consciously went to the kitchen to get some snacks, as guests would visit from time to time, and these were always prepared to entertain his senior classmates and their classmates.
Genta Kojima looked disappointed: "Ah, there's no eel rice."
One sentence almost made Subaru Okiya suppress his smile: It's not mealtime yet, how could there be eel rice?
"Genta, you can't do that! Brother Ayan is so kind to us, we should be grateful," Ayumi said earnestly, hands on her hips.
"Yeah, yeah, how can you say something like that?" Mitsuhiko chimed in.
"I understand."
Genta Kojima, clutching his rice-ball-like head, clasped his hands together like the other two and earnestly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you so much, I'll start eating!"
From Conan and Ai, Akutagawa learns that they were originally playing baseball at a construction site, but the baseball accidentally flew into the yard of a middle-aged man who looked fierce.
Instead of helping the Grim Reaper Squad find their lost baseball, the man made outrageous remarks, saying he would report them to the teachers at Teitan Elementary School if they bothered him again.
Of course, these were all translated by Akutagawa Hiko himself.
In fact, Conan didn't think that the middle-aged man named Yoshikazu Watanuki had done anything wrong. They had illegally entered the construction site and hit the baseball into someone else's yard, so they were in the wrong.
"I didn't expect you to be aware of something like trespassing. That's rare." Akutagawa Hiko patted Conan's head and casually told Okiya Subaru to keep an eye on the kid, because it wouldn't be good if a person bit a cat or dog, or even less likely if the situation reversed.
Conan blushed.
"What are you talking about? How can solving a case be considered trespassing?!"
Then, Conan said some incomprehensible things, such as everything was for solving the case, letting the dead rest in peace, and catching the murderer, which made Akutagawa and the others laugh so hard they almost fell over.
However, upon hearing the name and recalling Conan and his friends' experiences, a thoughtful glint flashed in Akutagawa Hiko's eyes, but he quickly dismissed it.
With his current fame, he no longer needs to personally seek out cases like these; someone will definitely come to him.
Of course, if you want a slightly muddle-headed detective to provide an alibi, Kogoro Mouri, who gets carried away after drinking, is the best choice.
Just then, a blue cat suddenly jumped onto Akutagawa Hikaru's lap. Conan looked curiously at the little cat that looked different because it was wearing a collar.
"Didn't you already have an orange tabby cat? You got another one?"
Akutagawa Hiko shook his head: "No, this isn't mine. Its name is Goro, and it's just an ordinary kitten."
Conan had a strange expression because there was an uncle named Kogoro Mouri next to him.
"Just like you think, this is Eri's cat. She has to go on a business trip, so she decided to leave Goro with me for a while."
Conan turned to look at the cats and dogs who were being taken very well and practically treated this place as their second home, and thought it was really a good decision.
"Xiao Lan—it seems that Sister Xiao Lan also wanted to have a cat, but Uncle Mori completely disagreed. I didn't expect that Auntie would actually have one, and even give it such a name—"
Conan smiled and thought that Ran's worries about her parents' relationship were somewhat unnecessary; wasn't she still thinking about them?
Ai also loves all kinds of small animals, and Goro is very close to her. The two get along very well, and Akutagawa Hiko even has a full set of cat-teasing equipment.
As they were chatting, a man with a nose that rivaled Uncle Long's walked in: "Hello, is this the Akutagawa Detective Agency?"
As Koda Masao sat down in the reception room, he felt that this agency was very different from what he had imagined. Not only were there so many cats and dogs, but there were also a group of children. It was more like a pet shop than a detective agency.
He certainly wouldn't have come in if it weren't for the famous detective in front of him.
"Hello, my name is Koda. My sister suddenly disappeared a month ago —"
Hiko Akutagawa struck a pose reminiscent of Commander Ikari, while Toshiya Tadokoro took notes in a small notebook. Just by looking at him, you could tell he was a reassuringly professional.
"So, you want me to help you find your missing sister?"
But then Koda Masao's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said with absolute certainty, "No, my sister was murdered a month ago by a man named Watanuki Yoshikazu!"
Akutagawa Hiko's expression froze for a moment, then he completely connected the dots of what had happened that day: "The man you're talking about, doesn't he live next to a construction site?"
Koda Masao was about to stand up, leaning on the table, when Okiya Subaru pressed him down, saying, "Sir, calm down, calm down."
""
Unable to move, Koda Masao let out a long sigh of relief, forced to calm down: "Does Detective Akutagawa know this man?"
Akutagawa Hiko shook his head: "If you had come half an hour earlier, I would never have heard of this name. But these kids were being naughty and went to play in the construction site, hitting a baseball into his yard."
The Junior Detectives also chimed in at this moment: "Yeah, yeah, that old man is so fierce, he won't even let us go into his yard to retrieve the ball!"
Koda Masao became agitated again: "That must be it! He buried my sister in his yard, that's why he wouldn't let you in. He's afraid someone will discover the evil he did!"
Akutagawa Hiko waved his hand, signaling the man to calm down: "Let's clarify things first."
Koda Masao began to introduce himself.
He said he was from Saku City in Nagano Prefecture and showed a picture of his missing sister. Even amidst the cherry blossoms, the girl named Sanae Koda's charm was not overshadowed.
Compared to the man in front of her, he was like heaven and earth.
Of course, it was also because of his sister's situation that Koda Masao not only lost a lot of weight in the past month, but his energy was almost entirely sustained by sheer willpower.
On the 8th of last month, Sanae Koda mysteriously disappeared after meeting a client.
The person she went to see was obviously a man named Yoshikazu Watanuki.
