It's just a grocery store.

Ling Cheng spoke up to save the awkward atmosphere, and Xiaolan withdrew her hand that was about to slam the table. Compared to her father and Conan who didn't believe her, Ling Cheng was much more pleasing to her eyes.

"Then let's go, Ling Cheng, don't worry about Dad and the others."

Xiaolan took Ling Cheng's hand and prepared to go out. Conan stretched out his hand and wanted to explain or follow her, but was ignored.

Conan: Ling Cheng is so cunning.

"Wait, Sister Xiaolan, I'll go with you!"

Conan jumped down from the sofa. He had no choice but to follow Kogoro Mouri. What if Xiaolan's reasoning was correct? Besides, what Ling Cheng said was definitely not groundless.

Following the live broadcast on TV, the group came to the racecourse. At this moment, the crowd was bustling with people cheering for the contestants on the center track and praying that the horse they chose would become the chosen one.

Xiaolan was first attracted by the competition, then she remembered the purpose of their visit and looked around.

Maori Kogoro was more interested in the following game, and even Conan was observing and complaining about it.

"Will it really be here?"

Ling Cheng sent a message to Lingshi while they were not paying attention, and then put it away and moved over amid Xiaolan's exclamation.

Xiaolan looked in one direction in surprise.

"found it!"

"What!?" X2

Conan and Mouri Kogoro exclaimed in shock and quickly looked in the direction that Xiaolan pointed. Sure enough, the man standing there was none other than Kenzo Hirota in the photo.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan showed incredible expressions. It was unbelievable that they found it so easily.

Xiaolan was very happy and said that she wanted to go find Mr. Hirota Kenzo, but Ling Cheng quickly grabbed her.

"Wait a minute, Sister Xiaolan, that uncle is missing and might be hiding from his family on purpose. If you go over there, you'll alert them."

The other two also came to their senses and agreed. Xiaolan wanted to say something, but Maori Kogoro had already made his decision.

"Follow him to his home, and then just tell Miss Yamei the address."

Hearing this, Xiaolan nodded. She thought that she had not thought it through. It turned out that the work of a detective was very troublesome.

Just then, Kenzo Hirota turned around and left, and the group hurriedly followed him. However, the tracking skills of these people really made Ling Cheng speechless.

The target is too big. I just follow others and when they turn around, I act very busy and act frantically.

Ling Cheng was speechless and stopped them.

"Uncle, this is too conspicuous. Let Conan and I go. We are two little kids and won't suspect each other."

"That makes sense, but are you okay with that?"

Kogoro Mouri was thinking, and looking at Kenzo Hirota who was practicing and walking away in front of him, Ling Cheng acted without authorization and ran out with Conan.

"Don't worry, we'll be home soon!"

The two men ran so fast that Kogoro Mouri couldn't stop them, but he had no choice but to let them go. After all, they shouldn't be able to do such a small thing.

Ling Cheng changed the distance he had just widened back to a mode of neither far nor close, and then pretended to walk behind Conan as if taking a stroll, looking at this store for a while, and then running to the other side.

Anyway, it did not attract the attention of Kenzo Hirota. When the person being followed stopped to go to a convenience store, Conan and Ling Cheng also went to a corner to wait.

"You guy, why are you so motivated this time? It's obviously just a commission to find someone, and you can follow him home. It's okay for uncle to go by himself, right?"

Conan leaned against the wall. Ling Cheng was obviously a guy who would not do anything without profit. How could something that was not interesting enough possibly arouse his interest?

Let's talk about the commissions that the Junior Detective Team had received before, such as finding cats. He either said he had to go to class, or even when he came, he was hypocritical. After saying that they should disperse to look for the cat, he would go and hide in a corner.

Even if it was the murder case he encountered with Uncle Maori, once he lost interest, he would not be willing to participate no matter what. At most, he would just follow him as a door god.

Not to mention this time, even he is not interested, and his uncle can solve it. Just like what was said before midnight, these detective jobs have kind of shattered his dreams.

But fortunately, he had talked to Zero Hour about his life several times before, and he had a clearer plan for the future.

Back to the present, Conan looked at Ling Cheng with inquiring eyes, as if he regarded Ling Cheng as a box containing treasure, and wanted to decipher the code of the treasure map.

Ling Cheng also realized that his behavior was a bit obvious and he had not thought of any excuses or escape routes for himself.

But looking at Conan's inquiring expression, he knew that he could not avoid this questioning. Fortunately, there was a sound at the door of the convenience store, and it was the target person coming out.

Ling Cheng also took the opportunity to bring up the topic.

"Well, maybe. How about you try to deduce it?"

After saying that, Ling Cheng followed first, ignoring Conan behind him, who immediately gave him a dead look.

"What? That guy, what's with all the mystery? Haha, he looks just like Ling Shi. Is he really not Ling Shi's illegitimate son?"

After Conan finished complaining, he followed closely. The two of them successfully followed Hirota Kenzo's residence. After waiting for a while and seeing no one coming out, they notified Kogoro Mouri.

The confirmation work was then handed over to Kogoro Mouri. After a few days of observation, Kogoro Mouri confirmed that this was indeed Kenzo Hirota's residence, and he informed Miss Masami Hirota of the news that her father had been found.

Upon hearing the news, Hirota Masami excitedly rushed to the Mori office, forcing Mori Kogoro to abandon his beer and take people over.

"Let's go too. After all, it was thanks to me that we found it, right?"

Xiaolan stood up and said, and Kogoro Mouri did not refuse. Hirota Masami was very anxious, so she had no objection, but just excitedly expressed her desire to go over quickly.

Ling Cheng glanced at the different Hirota Masami in front of him and said nothing. Conan noticed something was wrong but couldn't figure out where it was.

"Hey, Ling Cheng, is there something wrong with Miss Yamei?"

Ling Cheng:......

Wow, this is what a straight man is like. Ling Cheng was speechless. It was so obvious. Miss Yamei put on very delicate makeup this time. She didn’t look like a student like before. It was probably because she was too excited that she didn’t try to hide it.

Ling Cheng refused to answer Conan's question and sent a piece of advice, the last three words of which were lip-synced.

"It doesn't hurt to know more about women, otherwise you might not be able to pursue anyone, Kudo-kun."

Ling Cheng had something in mind. Thinking of Xiaolan, Conan's face turned red. Ling Cheng disturbed his thoughts and he forgot his own question for a moment.

Because they didn't rent a car in advance, they could only take a taxi. When they arrived at the place, through Kogoro Mori's investigation, they found out that Kenzo Hirota had just come back from shopping, and Masami Hirota rushed over and excitedly recognized him.
