"There should be a village up ahead," Mauliland held a map in her hands. She looked at their current location seriously.
It should be around here.
She looked up at the front again.
Mōri Kogoro, who was driving in front of her, anxiously turned around and snatched the map.
The location on the map was indeed around here.
The muddle-headed detective drove around and around, but he didn't see the sizable village marked on the map.
Was there a mistake on the map?
Mōri Kogoro naturally threw the map to the side.
They continued to walk forward.
Hey, hey!
Dad!
Mauliland could only pick up the map.
The place they were walking on.
She wasn't the kind of person who was good at observing details, but she compared it bit by bit.
After a long time, she finally let out a loud cry.
The mountain just now and the water on the other side weren't right.
They were going in the wrong direction.
Mauliland looked at her dad, who kept saying that he didn't drive in the wrong direction.
They chose the wrong path at a fork in the road.
Mōri Kogoro could only laugh awkwardly.
Then he stopped the car and looked at the map again.
After confirming where they were, the muddle-headed detective could only drive the car back.
There is only one village around here.
They could only go back there again.
While he was driving, he didn't forget to complain about a certain brat.
If he hadn't left without saying a word, they would have already arrived at the luxurious hotel that had been prepared for them.
"That's because Conan's phone was broken," Mauliland explained for him.
She looked at the muddle-headed detective with half a moon. That way, they might have taken a longer detour.
The muddle-headed detective was speechless.
Just like that, it took them quite some time to return to a nearby village.
The village wasn't big, but it wasn't too small either.
They quickly found a small hotel here.
Then they would leave tomorrow.
When they entered the hotel, they met a few unexpected people.
She was a student from Class Q of the Detective Academy.
She remembered that they were called Little Q and Kintaro Toyama.
Mauliland recalled carefully.
At this moment, Little Q and the others also saw the two of them.
Little Q asked them frankly, "Where's Conan?"
He didn't come?
Mauliland told them the truth.
He was suddenly called away by his mother.
They had only come here because of the delay.
"I see!" Little Q looked a little disappointed.
He thought you guys were here because of the case here as well!
Little Q voiced out his thoughts.
Kintaro Toyama expressed that he also thought so.
At this time, a certain confused detective asked with a concerned look, "Is there a case here?"
Mōri Kogoro was a detective.
Although sometimes he was a little muddle-headed.
But he still had the instincts of a detective.
He was the famous detective Mōri Kogoro. This muddle-headed detective confidently expressed that no matter what kind of case it was, as long as it was given to him, he could solve it.
Little Q and Kintaro Toyama had a lot of trust in Mōri Kogoro and the others.
After they looked at each other, they told them the details of the incident.
This was what Mr. Tuan asked them to investigate.
In this village, people often disappeared for no reason.
No one knew whether the missing people were alive or dead, or where they went.
They only knew that those people came to this hotel before they disappeared.
Some were passers-by, some were just eating downstairs, or had an appointment with friends.
They all disappeared after a while.
So it was like that.
A certain confused detective seemed to have understood from his expression.
But he couldn't say anything.
Little Q and the others didn't seem to care too much about their answers.
They started to act on their own.
They had carefully investigated every single person in the inn.
As far as they knew, another person disappeared here yesterday.
This person came from outside with a friend.
They only planned to rest here for a short night.
But they had just eaten dinner.
They found that one of them was missing.
They immediately contacted each other.
In the end, those people didn't leave.
They were in the room next door.
They still wanted to find their friend.
But they had already searched the surrounding area during the day.
That person was still missing.
When they came, they had just returned from outside.
It was the first time they came here.
Those people told them that the missing person couldn't have a grudge with anyone.
Their clothes were very simple, and from their looks, it was impossible for them to be rich.
Who would want to kidnap them?
This wasn't the first time a similar situation happened.
Those people learned this from Kintaro Toyama and the others.
This made them feel very bad.
Would they be unable to find their friend?
Damn it!
Who took him away?
They looked at Little Q.
"You said, you are detectives, right?" One of them said to Little Q.
On the other hand, Little Q naturally revealed a very confident expression, telling him that they were students of the Detective Academy.
That person listened and nodded. They could only place their hopes on them now.
When did they come? Who did they meet? What seats did they take?
Those people told Little Q and the others.
They didn't know if they were secretly watching them.
They didn't feel anything.
Every place they walked past was also taken to walk them again.
Mōri Kogoro was thinking very hard in his room. He felt that he didn't know what to think anymore.
He still couldn't make sense of these things.
It was like a lot of irregular threads.
What kind of connection was there between them?
Little Q's expression was full of confidence.
Kintaro Toyama didn't understand and asked him.
He stretched out two fingers. "Two hints.
Hint one: When we came here, the way the people here looked at us.
Hint two: They sat in front of us in a blind spot. "
At that time, there should be a person hiding in that blind spot.
Little Q and Kintaro Toyama personally went there.
If he wanted to hide his body well, he would be able to do so.
This person's figure was a bit thin.
Kintaro Toyama tried to help analyze.
The villagers here also knew something.
Just like that, Little Q and Kintaro Toyama began to think about what they should do next.
Just like that, there was another person watching them from the outside.
This time, they didn't say anything. Kintaro Toyama chose to step over.
He caught that person at once.
What is your purpose?
Kintaro Toyama looked a bit serious at this time.
Because of his powerful martial arts, the person who was caught by him could only tremble and say, "Are you also here for the treasure?"
We won't give you the treasure here.
You are all greedy people. "
That person finally seized an opportunity to ruthlessly bite Kintaro Toyama.
This made Kintaro Toyama have to let go.
That person didn't immediately run away.
He stood there and said solemnly, "You better get out of this village."
That person didn't go far.
He was pulled away by another person.
Little Q and Kintaro Toyama seemed to see that person being harshly scolded.
Then, he lowered his head and walked away.
The two of them looked at each other.
The most precious treasure here.
It was very likely that this was the motive for the murder.
Looking at the expressions of the other people here.
They also thought that they, who came from the outside, were the ones who had ideas about the treasure.
If that was the case … Little Q already had a determined expression on his face.
He and Kintaro Toyama went to find the owner of the inn.
They wanted to know about the treasure here.
Little Q straightforwardly expressed his intention to the boss of this place.
He heard that there was a big treasure here.
As soon as he said that, the boss's expression changed.
His eyes were full of gloominess.
There was no need for Little Q's reasoning.
The owner revealed his true face.
He wanted to knock Little Q out.
But he was still knocked down by Kintaro Toyama in the end.
This owner was very thin, but his body was always very good.
Ordinary people couldn't beat him at all.
"You already guessed it was me?" The owner asked hatefully.
Because his attack had been prepared and guarded against.
This caused him to lose the best opportunity.
Little Q stretched out two fingers. "Two hints …" His face was full of confidence.
"First hint: When they came in, they couldn't see anyone else." Little Q glanced at the seat in front of him.
"Second hint: They greeted you at the beginning.
But after their companions disappeared, they couldn't find you.
You didn't appear until a long time later. "
It wasn't just this time.
Before Little Q and the others came, they had seen the situation of this case in the Q class's information.
The locals couldn't find any information.
But those who had been outside and those who had companions could testify that many of them had experienced similar situations.
