Kudo Shinichi came many times in a row, but no matter when he came, there was no one in the office.

Even if you call, you can only call the office, no one answered it.

Unable to find Xiaolan, Kudo Shinichi had no choice but to go back.

Until the next day when he was almost late for class, he still didn't see Xiaolan.

"Sonko, do you know where Xiaolan has gone?" Kudo Shinichi asked Suzuki Sonoko.

Maybe Xiaolan went shopping with her yesterday.

As for uncle, I guess he took on some commission and was busy outside.

"I don't know, did Xiaolan not be with you?" Suzuki Sonoko held her chin and looked at Kudo Shinichi in surprise.

These two people are always inseparable, but they didn't come to school together today, which is really surprising.

She didn't think about whether something happened to Xiaolan, after all, anyone cursed that something happened to her good friend?

At most, I wonder if Xiaolan has overslept or has asked for leave if something happens.

After all, there is no cell phone now.

Contact is based on a public telephone booth or a landline phone at home. It is not appropriate to contact people who are not at home.

Kudo Shinichi shook his head, "I went to Xiaolan's house to look for her yesterday and didn't see anyone at home, and so this morning.

"Then I guess I'm going out with Uncle Maori!" Both of them were not at home, so I think this is the only possibility.

"Oh, I think so too, but I always feel depressed, as if something has happened..."

"Oh, you are worthy of being an old husband and wife, and you have telepathy~" Yuanzi teased, "But look at me, you haven't seen Xiaolan for a day, and your lovesickness has become a disease!"

"What lovesickness makes you sick, what are you talking about..." Kudo Shinichi, who was told the main story, was a little angry and embarrassed, with a thin layer of red on his face.

"This is not a lie, you're blushing~" Yuanzi exposes him without any shame.

"I didn't blush!"

“Yes, yes,

You don't have it, someone else blushing~”

"Ahhhh..." Kudo Shinichi went crazy.

No matter how young people of this age are, they are reluctant to admit their feelings, as if they are shorter than the other person after admitting them.

Even if you care so much in your heart,

We should also pretend to be calm and gentle.

However, it is only such a difficult-to-speak relationship that becomes more and more precious. When the word "love" is spoken all day long, it makes love a thing cheap.

After the class was over, Xiaolan still did not come to class.

Shinichi Kudo and Yuanko Suzuki went to the head teacher to ask if Xiaolan had asked for leave.

They did get the news from the head teacher, but the news was not very good.

Xiaolan has been off for a while, but it is still unclear how long it takes.

Yuanzi and Shinichi were shocked when they heard this news!

"Why did I suddenly stop school?"

The more Kudo thought about it, the more uneasy he became, the more depressed he felt, and the feeling of depression became stronger and he was a little breathless.

The head teacher's expression was quite normal, "This, didn't Maori win the karate competition last time? In order to prepare for the national competition championship, he went abroad to learn karate. Yesterday, Mr. Maori called me and told me that I don't know much about the specific situation..."

The heart that Yuanzi raised was immediately let go, "I was scared to death. I thought what happened to Xiaolan. It was really scary to me when I suddenly stopped studying..."

Kudo Shinichi is not as big-hearted as Sonoko.

The frown brows never let go.

"If you want to know the specific situation, go and ask Mr. Maori..."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

After leaving the office, Kudo Shinichi held his chin and said to Yuanzi as he walked: "I always feel something is wrong. It's too sudden for Xiaolan to go abroad to study. I haven't heard her say anything at all."

"It's a bit. I didn't even say goodbye to us. I don't know how long it takes to continue to study..."

"Let's go to Maori's office to ask after school in the afternoon!" No matter what, it's better to ask Uncle Maori.

"good!"

......

Kogoro Mouri came back from Eiri in the afternoon. Xiaoran has to temporarily live with Eiri during this period. If he wants to come and live, he will have to wait until the situation stabilizes.

Alas, Xiaolan is not here, and she always feels that something is missing at home.

Kogoro Mouri was lying on the sofa, drinking to relieve his sorrow, and before he knew it, the beer can fell all over the floor.

When the time comes, Kudo Shinichi and Yuanko will definitely come over and ask Xiaolan why she suddenly stopped school. He will give her an explanation that they will not doubt.

Fortunately, Xiaolan wrote two farewell letters, and the reasons for further study in Karate can be hidden for the time being.

But it is easy to hide from Yuanzi, but it is difficult to hide from Kudo. That little ghost is so wise and might find something abnormal.

Speaking of which, he was quite angry with that little kid Kudo. If Xiaolan hadn't gone out to play with him, how could something happen?

Although it is a bit of anger, he is not a saint. How can a woman not vent her anger when something happens to her?

Before I knew it, I drank more and more and fell asleep directly.

At noon, Kudo Shinichi and Suzuki Yuanko pushed open the office door and saw Kogoro Mouri who was drunk.

Suzuki Yuanko's expression collapsed, she was so drunk that she could even ask a question!

She rolled up her sleeves helplessly and threw the scattered wine bottle at the place and threw it into the trash can.

Kudo Shinichi pushed Kogoro Mori and tried to wake him up, "Uncle, wake up..."

"Koran, don't make noise, let me sleep for a while..." Kogoro Mouri turned over in a daze, then fell off the chair.

This fall directly woke him up, and sat on the ground in a daze and looked at Yuanzi and Shinichi in the room.

He rubbed his butt and sat up, "Why are you here?"

"Uncle, you've drunk so much wine..." Suzuki Sonoko wrapped her arms around her chest and looked at Kogoro Mori with her half-moon eyes hanging down.

She has a good relationship with Xiaolan and often comes to Xiaolan's house. She has a good relationship with Kogoro Mouri. She regards him as her elder, so she doesn't speak so carefully.

"Why did Xiaolan suddenly stop school?"

"This, I sent her to the United States for further study yesterday..." Kogoro Mouri yawned and sat back on the chair.

"Why is it so sudden?"

"I met the champion of the American Karate Competition outside yesterday. They took Xiaolan's potential and wanted to take her to the United States for training. Then I sent Xiaolan over..." Kogoro Mouri said the reason he was ready.

This reason was discussed by their family, and when someone asked about it, he would just give a statement.

"Is this too anxious? I don't even have time to say goodbye to us..."

"This kind of opportunity is hard to come by, of course you have to seize it!"

"But uncle, aren't you afraid that they are liars?" Kudo Shinichi suspected that Kogoro Mori was cheated.

"How is that possible! I still know who the global karate champion is! And I also went to their training base in the United States. I don't know how good the conditions are. There are so many excellent seedlings here, so where do I need to deceive us?" Kogoro Mori looked at Shinichi Kudo and looked particularly unhappy, "I am also a detective after all, and it is related to Xiaolan. How could I be deceived!"

Kudo Shinichi looked embarrassed. Although this uncle is usually unreliable, he is really concerned about Xiaolan's affairs.

It took ten hours to fly from Tokyo to the United States. They were not at home all day yesterday. If it happened yesterday morning, it would be enough for a round trip from yesterday to around three o'clock this afternoon.

Although I felt that things were too sudden, Kogoro Maori said so, and Shinichi Kudo didn't doubt it.

After all, if something really happened to Kora, Kogoro Maori had no need to hide it.

After knowing that Xiaolan is fine, Yuanzi completely let go of her heart, but instead worried about other things, "But will Xiaolan's study be delayed in this way?"

"Don't worry, she brought all the textbooks. With Xiaolan's ability, it's okay to study by herself. When I come back, it's time for you to not leave too many of you!"

In order to avoid any flaws, she simply cleaned up Xiaolan's room.

Like book bags and often worn clothes, they are put away and made into a look taken away, so as to avoid Shinichi Kudo, discovering anything unusual.

"That's good!" Yuanzi felt relieved.

Ran Maori took out two letters from the drawer and handed them to the two, "This is written by Xiaolan in the United States. I don't have time to say goodbye to you. I wrote two letters specially. I brought them to you."

The envelope was very simple and had no seal. Yuanzi took the letter and opened it directly.

【Sorry, Sorry.

I don’t have time to say goodbye to you in person, so I can only use this method temporarily to say goodbye to you. I hope you don’t get angry.

This opportunity is very important to me. Maybe next time I come back, I will not only be the karate champion in Kanto, but the national karate competition champion!

I've probably not been to the United States for a long time, so I'll call you when I get used to it.]
