Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Just when Saeki was immersed in the sadness of being rejected and Noriko Okaya's attention was also on Saeki, Conan took the opportunity to find a place to install his button bug.

Although Conan deduced from the time that Noriko Okatani was unlikely to have committed the crime, he still wanted to see if Noriko Okatani would reveal any flaws after they left.

Conan's detective intuition told him that things should not be that simple, so Conan directly took out his detective magic weapon - the button bug.

Conan still didn't give up the investigation. He wanted to see if Okatani Noriko's words and deeds were consistent in public and in private. Perhaps the thoughts that he and Saeki couldn't express in the scene would be revealed when they were alone.

Moreover, Noriko Okatani herself could not do it in time. Maybe there really was a limit on the number of orders. If Noriko Okatani hired someone to kill someone, then maybe she would contact the other party later. She might get unexpected gains through the eavesdropping device.

Now, that's called professionalism!

In the past, Conan only needed to reason and analyze many things, and his button bug had not been used for a long time, so it should come in handy this time.

After Conan finished the installation secretly, he was ready to find an excuse to leave. It just so happened that the atmosphere between Saeki and Noriko Okatani was a little awkward.

Conan took advantage of the situation and pulled Saeki away from this sad place. After being rejected, Saeki seemed to have lost his soul and left Noriko Okatani's house in a daze.

After leaving Okatani Noriko's house, Conan was planning to find a reason to separate from Saeki, but Saeki took Conan back to the car and started complaining.

Saeki poured out all his grievances and emotions to Conan. He did not let him go just because Conan was a child. He urgently needed to vent his emotions.

Now, Saeki has been complaining continuously. Conan wanted to interrupt and leave several times, but Saeki kept talking and his words were blocked by him.

"Uncle Saeki, um...it's already late today, why don't you take me home first." Conan really couldn't stand Saeki's chattering anymore.

So he resolutely suggested going home as it was getting dark. Conan only wanted to get rid of Saeki as soon as possible. It was a really bad day.

"Private Marseille! I forgot you were just a child. It's getting dark, and the adults must be worried. I'm going to take you back to the Maori Detective Agency right now."

Saeki wiped away his tears and said to Conan while starting the car.

This is really shooting himself in the foot. Conan originally planned to find an excuse to go home after dark, and decided to stay near Noriko Okatani's house to monitor Noriko's movements.

As a result, the kind-hearted Saeki felt that he had just been rude in front of Conan and had indeed delayed Conan for a lot of time, so he started the car and drove towards the Mouri Detective Agency.

"Uncle Saeki, I..." Conan wanted to refuse to go back to the detective agency at this time, but it was him who spoke first and suggested going home after dark.

This backfired. Conan wanted to say that he had something else to do, but he swallowed it back. Besides, Conan was just a child now, and it was dark, so it was not appropriate to leave him alone on the street.

In this way, Conan was reluctantly brought to the downstairs of the Mouri Detective Agency. Saeki's confession and the time spent on the road had wasted more than half an hour.

Conan knew that he couldn't waste any more time on Saeki, so he thanked Saeki directly and got out of the car and walked towards the corridor.

In fact, Conan did not go upstairs, but just hid in the corridor. He only came out again after Saeki drove away.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of Saeki, it was really too annoying. Then he left the detective agency's sight and called Dr. Agasa to pick him up.

Dr. Agasa, the all-purpose tool man, is always available and appears at the first moment to help Conan solve his problems. He can also be used as a cover at critical moments.

After getting on Dr. Agasa's Beetle, he called Xiaolan and told her that he would be staying at Dr. Agasa's house tonight and would not be going back.

When Xiaolan wanted to ask more questions, Conan just laughed it off and hung up the phone.

"Hey, Shinichi, what's going on today?" Dr. Agasa couldn't help but ask after seeing Conan ended the call.

It is true that he was called out late at night and everything was still confusing. Besides, Dr. Agasa is also a person who likes to gossip, and he knows that anything produced by Shinichi must be a masterpiece.

"Well, it's a long story. This is what happened..." Conan described the general situation to Dr. Agasa.

"From what you said, it seems that Miss Noriko doesn't have time to commit crimes. Then why are you still monitoring her?"

After listening to Conan's story, Dr. Agasa was also confused. Conan didn't have time to commit the crime, so why did he stay up late at night and forget to eat and sleep?

"Doctor, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence? Although the possibility of Miss Noriko being involved is extremely small in terms of time, it is not ruled out that she really has a way to hire someone to achieve her goal?

Anyway, I have already installed a bug in her house. If she is really the murderer, I believe she will definitely reveal her flaws."

Conan is not very willing to accept his own failures and errors in reasoning, so I would rather spend time struggling to verify my ideas.

It took Saeki nearly half an hour to send Conan back, and now it took another half an hour for Professor Agasa to drive Conan back.

The round trip took nearly an hour, and Noriko Okatani had already left her apartment because she received a text message from Fujiwara Hiroshi.

Fujiwara Hiroshi asked Noriko Okatani out, and there was a reason why he chose to send a text message instead of calling.

Based on his understanding of Conan, it is impossible for Conan not to do something in Noriko Okatani's house, and planting a bug is inevitable.

However, Fujiwara Hiroshi was not sure whether the eavesdropping device made by Dr. Agasa had a recording function. If he made a phone call, and Noriko Okatani let something slip, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Fujiwara Hiroshi had already been waiting near the downstairs of Noriko Okatani's house. He personally confirmed Conan's departure before sending a message to Noriko Okatani, asking her to come down.

So when Dr. Agasa brought Conan back, in fact, Noriko Okatani was no longer in her room.

Conan was sitting in Dr. Agasa's car and listening to Noriko Okatani's movements, but found that there was no movement inside and it was very quiet.
