Conan suddenly exclaimed:
"Where's the uncle?"
"He was here just now..."
With Conan's reminder, Sakaki Makoto and Kidd suddenly discovered that Kogoro Mouri, who was originally behind the crowd, was missing!
“Maybe he left with the group of policemen.”
Kidd disagreed and said:
"Don't worry about him. It's more important to catch the criminal. What should we do next?"
"Hmm..."
Sakaki Makoto recalled the topography of the hotel and asked:

"I fell asleep?!"
Conan jumped three feet high, pointed at his two big dark circles and shouted:
"I worked hard to get this!"
"Do you know how harmful staying up late is to a child's body? Seven years old is the time when the body is growing!"
