It's just a grocery store.

Time goes back, and Natsume feels a little uneasy after being pushed into the car.

When Maori Ran felt it, she smiled and comforted him, while Maori Kogoro closed his eyes and a crossroads appeared on his forehead.

"Why are you guys in the car too!?"

Natsume: "Sorry, Conan came up here, so I had to..."

Natsume was very embarrassed, and Conan quickly acted cute and said:

"Wow, car, car, car!"

"Get out of the car now!"

Seeing this, Mao Lilan said to her father:

"Impossible, this is a highway!"

Mao Lilan: "Besides, Natsume-kun and I will keep an eye on Conan later, you just need to work hard."

"Humph!"

Kogoro Mori couldn't argue with his daughter, so he had to let them go.

After arriving at the client's house, Natsume originally thought that he would have to wait with Conan on the side, but in the end, the group was taken directly to the client.

When Kogoro Mouri was talking to the client, Conan moved directly over to him, so fast that Natsume couldn't pull him back.

Then Natsume saw the child interrupting and asking questions, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!" Sure enough, the next second the client asked who he was.

Kogoro Mouri picked up Conan by the back of his collar and handed him to Natsume, who took Conan with a wry smile.

Just as he caught the child, he broke free and ran away, running directly to the butler who was talking. Natsume was about to stop him when he heard other voices.

"That idiot, if he really worried about his daughter, he wouldn't be so busy working away from home all the time."

Natsume turned around and saw a person, or a monster, sitting on the tree, muttering to himself.

"I don't know what the little girl is doing now. I'm so bored. I really want to play games with her."

Natsume looked around and saw that no one noticed him, so he quietly stepped back, turned his head and looked at the monster and whispered:

"You have a good relationship with the kidnapped lady?"

"Of course, I love turning back into a bird and playing with her... Wait, how can you see me?"

The monster was shocked, after all, when it didn't turn into a bird, no human could see it.

"Let's not get into that for now. Do you know who kidnapped this young lady and where she was taken?"

The bird monster hesitated for a moment.

"Of course I know, but I can't tell you, or you'll tell them."

"Why, don't you miss her? And aren't you afraid that she'll be in danger?"

The monster nodded, then shook his head, and then simply hid and stopped talking to Natsume.

Natsume was helpless when he saw this, and when he turned around, he saw a dog rushing towards Conan.

Natsume:!

Fortunately, it was just a shock, and the tied-up big dog just licked him in a friendly manner.

Natsume: I think babysitting might not be a job suitable for me...

Then when Natsume heard the client's words, a question suddenly came to his mind, but while he was thinking about it, it was asked by Kogoro Mouri.

"If what the butler, Mr. Aso, said is true, then why didn't the dog bark?"

Everyone soon discovered the butler's lies through Maori Kogoro's reasoning. The monster said regretfully:

"Ah, what a shame, we've been discovered. Akiko-chan's plan has failed."

"What plan? Akiko is the kidnapped girl?"

Seeing that the butler had been exposed, the bird monster explained to Natsume indifferently:

"Yes, this was all planned by Jingzi. She really wanted her father to accompany her."

After saying that, the monster sighed again, and Natsume comforted him:

"It's okay. As long as she comes back and tells her dad in person, he will definitely understand."

"really?"

"How could a father who worries so much about his daughter not love her? He would definitely agree to accompany her."

After hearing this, the monster felt much better, but something strange happened on the other side and the kidnapper called again.

This time, it was a real kidnapper, and Jingzi was really kidnapped.

Natsume widened his eyes and looked back at the monster, only to see that it was also very surprised, and then the group of people became chaotic.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Xia Mu immediately said:

"You can turn into a bird, right? Flying is faster than running. You should be most familiar with Jingzi. Please go find Jingzi quickly."

"Oh, oh, okay, I'll go right away!"

The bird monster immediately turned into a bird and flew away. Natsume turned around and saw Conan looking at something with his back to everyone in the chaos.

When he took a closer look, it turned out to be a map. Natsume combined everything that had just happened and finally discovered a serious problem.

Mao Lilan suddenly spoke:

"Conan, what are you doing?"

"I wonder if the location is nearby, given such a short time."

Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized and began to recall where the chimneys could be seen in the surrounding school warehouses.

That’s right, from beginning to end, the key points seemed to be discovered and pointed out by Conan, like guidance, just like now.

Natsume: Is this kid really that smart?

Without having time to think about it, Conan once again shocked Natsume. He directly loosened the dog leash, rode on it and rushed out.

Natsume: ...I don't think I'm really suitable for babysitting, Rei-nii, I have to entrust you with my trust.

Thinking back to Lingshi's instructions to push him into the car, Natsume just wanted to be alone for a while.

But with a loud shout from Kogoro Mouri, Natsume also ran out with everyone. On the way, the monster finally came back to Natsume to report.

"I found Jingzi, come with me!"

Upon hearing this, Natsume wanted to call others, but then he thought that his reason would not be convincing, so he could only secretly leave the team.

Natsume: "Teacher, please!"

Cat teacher: "Huh?"

Natsume lifted it from his shoulder and held it in front of him, saying seriously:

"Please don't act stupid, human lives are at stake. I'll buy you three snacks when we get back, you can pick any!"

"Okay, okay, I really can't do anything to you."

Madara jumped out of Natsume's hand and transformed in a puff of smoke, turning into his original majestic form.

Madara didn't even bother to carry Natsume onto his back, and immediately gave the order:

"Lead the way, hurry up!"

"Oh, oh!"

The bird monster was startled, but the desire to save Akiko prevailed, and he immediately led Madara the way.

I have to say that Kotori and Madara were very fast. They arrived at a school warehouse and could just see a building that looked like a chimney, with the moon right next to it.

Madara fell to the ground and turned back into a cat. Natsume did not fall either. He landed skillfully and immediately rushed to the warehouse, where he happened to meet a big dog rushing out of the warehouse door.

Natsume immediately stepped forward, patted the big dog's head and said:

"Go get the others!"

The dog was smart and ran out immediately. Natsume ran to the warehouse and pushed open the door to see Conan being hit by a baseball bat by the criminal.

"Conan!"

Natsume immediately rushed over and took advantage of the prisoner's distraction to run to Conan's side. The prisoner said angrily:

"Another one comes! Let's die here together!"

The prisoner raised the baseball bat and was about to strike him, but Natsume punched him directly in the abdomen, and the prisoner took a few steps back and screamed in pain.

Natsume: It seems like I didn’t use enough strength.

Madara: "That's about right. Your current control ability is already pretty good. If you use the same power you use to fight monsters, you can kill him."

The criminal endured the pain and rushed over again. Before Natsume could teach him a lesson, another person rushed in. It was Mao Lilan. The girl turned into a heroine and blocked the falling baseball bat.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but she punched the prisoner in the abdomen several more times. The prisoner, who was injured twice in the same place, had a vacant expression and was finally knocked over by Mao Lilan’s flying kick.

The cat teacher complained: "How pitiful, he got punched by you and then punched several times by this girl, poor ghost."

Natsume: "Teacher, please stop talking...but this is so cool."

Ran Mouri's skills are so amazing that even Natsume was shocked by her. He didn't expect that such a gentle girl could have such a powerful side.

Mao Lilan: "Are you okay?"

Natsume shook his head and looked at Conan behind him.

"I'm fine. You arrived in time. But Conan might not be. When I got here, the criminal knocked me out."

Natsume turned around and checked Conan. Conan let him check and said stubbornly:

"I'm fine."

Natsume lifted up his clothes, and there were already bruises on them.

"You said you were fine. I'll take you back to apply medicine."

Natsume sighed and picked up Conan, not daring to let him go.

The bird monster pecked the rope for the little girl in the posture of a bird. Seeing this, Mao Li Ran went over to help.

Kogoro Mouri, who rushed in from behind, saw the fallen criminal and said proudly that he had caught the criminal!

After being untied, Jingzi hugged her familiar little friend Xiaoniao and cried uncontrollably, obviously very frightened.

"Wow, wow, you came to save me, huh? Wow, wow, I'm so scared."

The little bird chirped words of comfort, but unfortunately only Natsume could understand.

Natsume: The relationship is really good.

Everyone had a happy ending, but when the criminal was escorted to the police station and asked about the whole story, Officer Megure became angry.

Megure: "Who is so irresponsible that he actually taught a child to chase the criminal on his own, Mori!"

Maori Kogoro quickly cleared himself of suspicion.

"It's not me, Officer Megure, that's their child."

When Natsume was called out, he could only smile and step forward to confess that he was not the guardian.

Natsume: This kind of dangerous thing, and the wound on the stomach can't be concealed at all, so let's call Zero-kun over.

Conan: Oops...

Natsume: (Sighs)

So under the supervision of Inspector Megure, Natsume made the midnight call.
