Chapter 667: True Knowledge is Missing
"Where did the others go?" Rena Murai took a sip of water and turned to look at the other woman.
Honda Sacai pointed upstairs and said, "They are upstairs and will be down soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs.
There were four men and three women coming down. When they saw Murai Reina, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "You finally came."
"Oh, you guys are always urging me to do this."
Murai Reina waved her hand to show that she did not accept their teasing.
The boys looked at them curiously.
Only Kawasaki Machika suddenly became nervous for some reason and grabbed Conan's clothes.
Conan looked back in confusion, and seeing his horrified look, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Maji? What's wrong?"
Kawasei Machi shook his head quickly, hiding behind him with his teeth clenched.
Conan frowned and cast a slightly inquiring look at the group of men and women who were chatting happily.
Is there something wrong among these people?
The nine men and women were chatting and suddenly changed the topic to them. Murai Rena seemed helpless and explained it again.
"In that case, why don't you join our party? The more people there are, the more fun it is!"
A short-haired girl ran up to them excitedly and gave Ayumi a hug enthusiastically.
"Ah, don't be nervous. I've always liked children and always wanted to be a teacher, but I didn't succeed because of some reasons."
The short-haired woman laughed and patted their heads respectively.
Even Conan and Haibara Ai didn't think anything of being touched on the head, but Kawasaki Machiko seemed extremely resistant and even turned around and hid behind Professor Agasa.
The short-haired girl was stunned for a moment, "Oh, so you're a shy kid."
"Sorry, sorry, he has always been a little shy." Dr. Agasa defended Kawasaki Machika with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay." The short-haired woman really didn't seem to care.
"Then let's start the party. It's so hard to get everyone together again!" said a man with a small tattoo of unknown origin on his forehead.
The butler immediately understood and brought the food and drinks prepared early in the morning from the kitchen and placed them on the table.
A group of adults and children were all having fun, except for the three fake kids.
Conan looked at Kawasei Machi who was huddled nervously in the corner, and handed him an unopened can of Coke. "Don't be too nervous. I just sent a text message. Someone will protect you from behind."
Kawasho Machi took the Coke from him and nodded, although he still looked a little nervous, "I, I understand..."
Conan put his hands in his pockets, turned his head and looked at a group of people who seemed to be normal, with a serious look on his face.
After a while, Kawasho Machi put down the half-drunk Coke in his hand, tugged at Conan's sleeve, and whispered to him, "Conan, I want to go to the bathroom."
"Oh, okay." Conan stood up and took him to the housekeeper to ask her.
"Hello, where is the toilet?"
"Go straight along the corridor and turn left. You will arrive here." The butler pointed to the unlit corridor next to the stairs. "Do you need me to turn on the lights for you?"
"No, thank you."
After thanking her, Conan took Machi to the bathroom.
Since Machika was acting very panicky, Conan just waited for him outside, but he didn't see him come out from the exit for a long time, and Conan suddenly had a bad feeling.
He knocked on the door to ask, but still got no response. He tried to open the door but it didn't open either, so he slammed the door hard, "Zhenzhi! Zhenzhi, are you still in there?"
hateful!
Conan cursed inwardly and used the detective team badge to contact Haibara Ai, asking her to bring people over.
Because of doubt, several other people followed.
After the toilet door was kicked open, there was no one inside, and the toilet lid was closed properly, not like anyone had used it.
However, this toilet only has an exhaust window at a height of two meters. Children can crawl through it, but they cannot reach it without any support underneath.
Besides...how could Zhenzhi possibly run around alone?
"Where is Machika!?" Dr. Agasa panicked instantly.
"No way? A child is missing?" The short-haired woman who said she loved children couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Did he really go into the restroom?" asked a young man who also had dyed red hair doubtfully.
Conan looked at the closed but unlocked window above and replied, "Of course, because I came with him, I was waiting outside, and he didn't come out!"
"Then he can't have just disappeared out of thin air, right?" Rena Murai drank quite a lot of wine, so she looked a little drunk, and she even burped after she finished speaking.
Honda Satsuki, who was leaning on her, twitched her lips slightly.
"That's strange. Could he still be in the villa? Why don't we split up and look for him?" said a man with his hair tied into pigtails.
"Reina is drunk, let her rest in the living room, and let Butler Qieyuan take care of her."
Although they were searching separately, they still consciously made sure not to leave anyone alone.
However, they searched the entire villa and found no trace of Kawasho Machika or anyone else.
"He couldn't have run into the woods, could he? It's already so late, it would be dangerous if he ran in casually."
The short-haired woman looked at the woods behind the villa and spoke worriedly.
"No way……"
"Anyway, let's call the police first." The red-haired young man took out his cell phone and dialed the police number quickly.
After the police arrived, some of them stayed in the villa while others went into the woods to search.
Conan and Haibara Ai were looking for the same place, and after walking for a while they suddenly heard a muffled sound.
They immediately held their breath and approached cautiously.
There was the ruins of a small wooden house that had fallen into disrepair, and the rickety door fell down as they approached.
The next person to come out of the house was a young man with long pink hair.
The footsteps of Conan and the others attracted his attention. He picked up a wooden stick and almost swung over. Fortunately, he noticed in time that there were only two children here, and his hand movement paused.
A hint of surprise flashed across his light purple eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Child?"
Looking at the man in front of them with messy clothes, unstable breathing, and looking a little weak, Conan and Haibara Ai were both stunned.
