Chapter 448: One sentence was enough to get them here.
Michiko Ishihara paused for a moment upon hearing this, then glanced at Chizuru instinctively, waved her hand apologetically, and said, "No need, no need. I ate dinner before coming out, and I'm not hungry now. You guys go ahead."
"Oh, I see. That's a real shame..." Sonoko Suzuki said with a hint of regret.
Chizuru blinked, looking at Ishihara Michiko with some confusion, but after thinking for a moment, she didn't ask anything. She just smiled gently at her, waved lightly, and left with Ran Mouri and the others. "Well, we'll be going now. See you next time."
Watching their departing figures, Michiko Ishihara stood there, a smile on her face, but her eyes were moist.
"See you next time...?"
Only after their figures disappeared from sight did Michiko Ishihara turn and leave, vanishing into the crowd.
Upon entering the department store, Qianzhu suddenly spoke to Xiaolan and the others, his expression slightly furrowed, a hint of worry in his eyes, "Was Miss Ishihara's mood a little off just now?"
Upon hearing this, the other three stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Qianzhu in confusion. "Is that so?"
Ran Mouri carefully recalled Michiko Ishihara's behavior just now, then frowned slightly and murmured, "Now that Chizuru says it, something does seem a bit off..."
"Perhaps something unpleasant happened to her?"
Sonoko Suzuki guessed.
Conan, who wasn't even as tall as them, stood with his hands in his pockets, his gaze serious.
Something's not right. She probably came out to relax not just because she encountered something unpleasant.
She didn't have anything on her. You should at least have your phone and keys with you when you go out alone.
If we rule out other reasons, then it's very likely that she feels she no longer needs these things!
To prevent the worst-case scenario from happening, Conan looked up at Chizuru and the others, "Something might have happened to Ishihara, we have to go check on him!"
After saying that, he ran out of the department store and headed towards the street where he had just met Michiko Ishihara.
"Wait a minute! Conan!"
Ran Mouri stamped her foot in exasperation, then strode after him.
Looking at them one by one, Sonoko Suzuki put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Honestly, have you forgotten that Chitake can't do strenuous exercise like running? Couldn't you just call a car!"
After saying that, she took out her phone and called a taxi.
The four-wheeled vehicle caught up with the two-legged one. Sonoko Suzuki rolled down the window and stared at them speechlessly with her half-moon eyes. "Hurry up and get in the car."
Seeing Chizuru and Sonoko in the car, Ran Mouri finally realized, "Ah...this is terrible."
After the two got into the car, the taxi headed towards the place where they had parted ways with Michiko Ishihara.
Upon arriving at the location, they searched the vicinity but couldn't find anyone, so they asked passersby for directions.
But almost everyone here is moving around, and those who saw Michiko Ishihara may already be in another place.
"You mean that girl? I saw her go in that direction," a middle-aged man on the street said, pointing in a direction.
Ran and the others thanked him and then walked in the direction he pointed.
They rushed along asking questions, and finally stopped in front of a residential building.
Looking up at the residential building that was more than ten stories high, Qianzhu couldn't help but sigh.
Conan's single sentence led them directly to this location.
It's not even certain whether Michiko Ishihara is actually in that location.
