Conan: Another Famous Detective

The next afternoon, Hanomiya Detective Agency.

"Excuse me!" Conan opened the door and walked in.

"Oh? Here we come!" Yu Gongming, who was reading a magazine, raised his head slightly, and Mengyu, who was sitting on the sofa listening to music, also looked over.

"What's the progress of your investigation?" Conan asked, coming to the sofa and sitting down.

Yu Gongming picked out the key points of the information Meng Yu investigated and introduced it to Conan.

Conan pushed up his glasses, quickly sorted out the information in his mind, and said, "You want me to help investigate that doctor?"

"Yes." Yu Gongming nodded slightly: "But let's talk about the progress on your side first. What is Uncle Maori's attitude?"

"He..." Conan's expression became a little subtle: "I deliberately asked him about his relationship with your father in a casual way during dinner time."

"His answer was that since they were colleagues living nearby, they were somewhat acquainted, but the relationship was just that."

"What do you think?" Yu Gongming asked. With just such an answer, it would be difficult for him to get more information than Conan, the person involved.

"I tried my best to abandon my preconceived ideas. His tone and demeanor at that time were very normal." Conan said calmly.

After a pause, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "But just because it's so normal, it gives people the feeling of being deliberately controlled."

Yu Gongming's eyes flashed slightly; 'What happens after that? ’

Conan shrugged: "Then he naturally asked me why I suddenly asked this, so I just said you asked me to ask, and further observed his reaction."

"Then he just said oh and said nothing more. He changed the subject by using the variety show Yoko Okino was hosting on TV."

"Isn't this a statement of his own to some extent?" Mengyu, who had taken off his headphones at the beginning of their conversation, looked thoughtful when he heard this.

"Yes!" Conan nodded, acknowledging this.

If you really didn't know anything, why would you change the subject so abruptly?

With the quality of Mouri Kogoro, it is impossible not to understand that this kind of method can still be deceived before the showdown, but now, everyone knows the details, and such a reaction simply has the word "problem" written on his face. .

Therefore, Mouri Kogoro's behavior has actually told them a lot of information.

First of all, he does have a relationship with Hanamiya Akira's father, Hanamiya Teru, and the relationship is not shallow.

Secondly, what he said at the Hanomiya Detective Agency last time was indeed a hint.

He directly changed the topic, which in Conan's understanding was equivalent to saying - since you have already guessed it, there is no need for me to say anything more.

"Of course, in order to ensure that we are not over-associating, I made further confirmation." Conan continued:

"Yesterday, Xiaolan and I went to Aunt Yingli and asked her about Hanomiya's father."

Mengyu blinked: "Eh? Haven't they been separated for ten years? Will Aunt Yingli know this information?"

"We just went there with the idea of ​​trying our luck." Conan explained: "During the separation, there is a high probability that my uncle will not tell her about his work."

"But is there a possibility that Uncle Mouri already knew Hanomiya's father before the separation?"

"This possibility is indeed not ruled out." Yu Gongming said lightly: "Although in my memory, Uncle Maori never came to my house before my father passed away."

"But my father was also a detective, and it was normal for him to go out from time to time. I was also busy with club and academic matters at that time, so naturally I didn't pay special attention to what he did when he went out."

"Maybe he goes to Uncle Maori sometimes."

"Xiaolan has no impression of Yumiya's father." Conan added.

"This doesn't mean anything." Meng Yu glanced at Conan: "At that time, Xiaolan was just in love. She followed you around all day long, and even stayed at our house from time to time."

"It's really not that difficult to avoid meeting Xiaolan."

Yu Gongming folded his hands in front of him and looked at Conan: "Since you specifically mentioned it, there should be some gains, right?"

"Yes!" Conan nodded: "Aunt Yingli's awareness of vigilance is not weak, but after all, it is not as good as uncle. Judging from the reaction, she does know Hanomiya's father."

"I see, thank you for your hard work." Yu Gongming said with a smile.

Conan's troubles confirmed many of their previous guesses.

Next, the direction of their investigation became clearer.

Conan shook his head slightly: "It's okay. Compared to your help to me, what I have done is really nothing."

Yu Gongming chuckled: "Don't be too polite. I did help you a lot, but I also got a reward far beyond expectations!"

As he spoke, he looked at Meng Yu unabashedly.

Meng Yu naturally noticed his gaze, immediately looked back, and smiled: "Yes! You have made a lot of money!"

Conan stared blankly at the two people who suddenly started throwing shit, thinking that he would have come with Xiaolan if he had known better.

He coughed heavily and interrupted the two people who were flirting with each other: "Tell me, how are you going to investigate? How do you need my help?"

"Of course I already have a plan for this." Yu Gongming immediately explained his plan.

…………

Dr. Oda finished his day's work, got into his car, and prepared to return home.

At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Oda suddenly frowned, thinking that he would have to perform another temporary surgery on him, right?

As one of the hospital's senior physicians, he often encounters this situation.

Although he would get more money for the additional surgeries, at this stage of his life, he no longer lacked this amount of money.

He needs his own relaxation time more than money now.

He took out his phone and took a look at it, his brows suddenly furrowed even more.

It's an unknown number.

After hesitating for a while, he finally answered the phone: "Hello! Who is this?"

"Hello, Dr. Oda, I, Akira Hanomiya, took the liberty of calling you because I want to ask you about something about my late father. I wonder if you have time in the near future? I hope to talk to you in detail in person."

Akira Yumiya?

Oda was suddenly shocked.

Of course he knew the name.

Not only because the other party is a very famous detective, but also because...

Why did he suddenly call him and ask about his father?

In a flash of thought, Oda gradually began to pay more attention to this phone call, but on his face, he pretended to be confused and said: "Well...why are you asking me about your father's affairs?"

"Ah! That's it..." Yu Gongming replied: "My father unfortunately passed away due to a heart attack. You were the doctor responsible for rescuing him at the time, and you were also the last person he saw during his lifetime."

"When I was sorting out my father's belongings, I found something and I want to confirm some information with you."

Dr. Oda frowned even more when he heard this.

After being silent for a while, he said: "In that case, let's meet at the coffee shop diagonally opposite the Rice Flower Hotel at eight o'clock tonight."

"Okay!" Yu Gongming responded immediately without raising any objection.
