Chapter 234 Tracking in Progress

Putting aside what is happening at midnight, the camera returns to Ling Cheng.

After Ling Cheng finished his breakfast, he leaned against a tree and waited for a while until the car drove away from the house. Ling Cheng then slowly approached with the bag in his hand.

After taking a look at the environment, he found a window and broke it in the right place. He had to act anyway, so he could just leave the compensation to the adults.

The noise of breaking the window was so loud that Ling Cheng opened the window lock through the gap, then pushed open the intact window on the other side and climbed in.

I didn't see Conan, so he should still be hiding on the second floor. He's still being cautious. But I have to be careful when I go up there, so that he doesn't get me hurt.

Ling Cheng walked up the stairs slowly and lightly. When he was almost there, his intuition told him that there was danger, so he could only stop and shout:

"Conan, it's me, come down quickly, those people have left."

There was no movement, so Ling Cheng could only continue to move forward, but he became more cautious. As soon as he moved forward, an attack came. Ling Cheng reacted quickly and dodged by turning his head.

When Ling Cheng saw the ashtray shattered into pieces after hitting the wall, he felt cold sweat pouring down his spine. How did that guy do that? Was it a catapult?

Ling Cheng turned his head and saw that Conan was also frightened after realizing that it was really Ling Cheng. He didn't brake in time and the height of the masked man he had originally aimed at was tilted to the point where he could hit Ling Cheng.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that Ling Cheng reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been almost shot in the head by Conan. It was a false alarm, and Ling Cheng went to find Conan with breakfast.

Ling Cheng: "You almost killed me."

Conan: "Brother Ling Cheng, you actually came here. How did you find this place? Where is Uncle Lingshi?"

Ling Cheng stuffed the breakfast into his hands and told him to eat first, otherwise he would starve to death if he ate half of it.

Conan didn't have dinner yesterday, and his stomach started rumbling when he saw food. He was really a little hungry.

Conan was too embarrassed to take it and eat it, and he didn't forget to ask about their situation. Ling Cheng could only sit aside and make up a story for him, or rather, explain it.

Ling Cheng: "Zero hour didn't come, so it's just me. Tell me about the situation. I finally found you."

Conan: "Then at midnight they..."

Ling Cheng: "It's alright, I just can't get away, so I have to come find you and return it to you."

Ling Cheng took out the bow tie and returned it to Conan. Conan did not suspect anything and did not ask Ling Cheng how he found him. After all, he had seen Zero Hour's ability before.

Conan smoothed his mouth with milk, swallowed the last bite of the bun and continued:

"Those two people need to make a deal quickly, or someone will die."

Conan jumped up hurriedly and continued to look for clues. Looking at Conan running around, Ling Cheng said:

"You want to save people? Are you kidding me? What can you do? You are just an elementary school student. You can't save everyone. Come back with me."

Conan: "No, I must go, not only for this reason, but also because I finally got a clue about that organization..."

Conan shut up at the right time and glanced at Ling Cheng. Ling Cheng immediately pretended to know and replied that anyone who didn't follow up on what he was saying was a fool.

"So what? You escaped, didn't you? You were still recaptured. You want to stop an organization that even Zero Hour couldn't handle single-handedly?"

Conan: "This is my case. I have to solve it myself. I don't know how much you know, but I must personally catch those who made me like this."

Ling Cheng was silent for a while, and the most unlikely answer surfaced, but it was unexpectedly reasonable. This was the puzzle piece he was missing.

Ling Cheng: "Are you Kudo Shinichi?"

Conan:!?

No, don’t you know, if I tear off my own vest, there is still a chance to redeem it?

Conan tried to play dumb,

"Ling, Ling Cheng brother, what are you talking about? How could I possibly be Xinyi brother?"

Conan was no longer bothered to study the clues at this time, and explained hurriedly. Ling Cheng stared at him for a long time before letting him go.

"Just kidding, I can still tell the difference between high school students and elementary school students. You still call me brother, right, Conan?"

Conan: ...I'm speechless.

"Yes, that's right, Brother Ling Cheng, you scared me to death. It's not fun to make jokes like this."

Ling Cheng: "Yeah, did you see where they went?"

Conan: "Yeah, I guess I understand... Hey, do you agree?"

Conan was shocked, and worried that Ling Cheng still suspected that he was Kudo Shinichi, so he hurried to make excuses for himself. Ling Cheng could only make excuses for him.

Ling Cheng: "I'm here to pick you up. How can I go back by myself? I'll contact Lingshi later and come over."

Ling Cheng acted as if he was worried about Ling Shi's blame, so Conan quickly agreed and prepared to set off.

Ling Cheng followed Conan, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Lingshi, who replied immediately. Seeing the message, Ling Cheng smiled.

Ling Cheng and Conan took a taxi. After asking the driver to speed up to no avail, Ling Cheng hurriedly said:

"Uncle, hurry up, we have to go find Dad. He went to the hotel with another woman and left Mom and me!"

"What? Kids, hold on tight, uncle's driving skills are top-notch!"

Conan: ...Is this something you can say?

When the driver heard what Ling Cheng said, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. He arrived at the hotel a few minutes early.

When Ling Cheng and his friends got off the car, the driver asked if they needed him to accompany them. Ling Cheng politely declined, saying that family disgrace should not be made public. They had already contacted other relatives and would resolve the matter behind closed doors.

The driver could only leave with regret. Ling Cheng brought the fully armed Conan into the hotel. Conan kept repeating the meaning of the number to Ling Cheng.

Then seeing the lockers over there, Conan immediately went forward and found out that there were only 26 lockers.

Conan: "Damn it, where does 30 even refer to?"

Ling Cheng stood beside and reminded,

"There's a parking lot, do you want to check it out?"

Conan: "Yeah, let's go quickly, we're running out of time!"

They went down to the underground parking lot, and when they counted to parking space 30, they saw a red car there.

Conan suspected that the two cars might be theirs and wanted to climb up to take a look. Ling Cheng knew that this was not the case and stopped Conan.

Ling Cheng: Sorry, I read the script. This is really not the case. Don’t tear up other people’s cars.

Fortunately, Ling Cheng stopped them in time. The family in that car came over, and Ling Cheng pulled Conan to hide behind to avoid being regarded as strange people.

The family didn't notice Ling Cheng and Conan and drove away directly. Conan glanced at the parking space, but because his mind was confused, he didn't notice the small number.

Ling Cheng pointed at the extra number and said:

"Conan, you missed it. There is a number 1 here. It should refer to room 301."

After Ling Cheng reminded him, Conan looked at the math again and realized that he was not rigorous enough. He knocked his head and said that he was not rigorous enough.

Then a masked man who looked very strange came over. Ling Cheng pulled Conan, and Conan noticed him and hid back in his previous position with Ling Cheng.

The mysterious man glanced at the ground and left, once again proving that Ling Cheng's statement was correct.

Conan: "That guy looks like the one they're dealing with. Let's catch up."
