Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Konuma took two steps forward, looked at the cloth strip in the gap of the stool, "When I left yesterday, there was no such cloth strip here."

Takagi put on his gloves, took the hat Mitsuhiko handed him, and looked down, "It seems that not only the man named Wannian, but also the murdered Mr. Iwabuchi have been here..."

"I think they should have come together!" Chiba Kazunobu walked into the room through the door.

"Chiba?" Takagi Tsubasa turned around in surprise and greeted Chiba Kazunobu.

"I've done some research. The deceased, Mr. Iwabuchi Sho, had a very good senior." Chiba Kazunobu walked up to Takagi She, took out a photo from the inside pocket of his jacket, and held it up for Takagi Sher.

When Chi Feichi saw Koshimizu Nanatsuki curiously approached him, he also followed and looked at the photo.

It was a photo of a couple.

The person on the left side of the photo is short and stocky, it is the deceased Iwabuchi, wearing today's light yellow suit and a light brown hat on his head.

The person on the right side of the photo is tall and thin, more than a head taller than Iwabuchi, wearing the same style and color suit as Iwabuchi, even the same light brown hat on his head.

Looking at such a combination of one tall and one short, he would always think of two lung cancer reserve members in the organization.

"The one on the left is Mr. Iwabuchi." Takagi pointed to the person on the left in the photo, and soon moved his finger to the person on the right, "Then the one next to him is..."

"This taller person is named Wannian Dingfu," Chiba Kazunobu introduced, "It can be said that Mr. Iwabuchi has a good relationship with the elder brother."

The three children noticed the tall man's name and exclaimed, "Wannian?!"

Chiba Kazunobu continued to talk to Takagi with a serious face, "And when these two people went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner yesterday, the boss asked them to settle the previous bill. Wannian Dingfu said that the money they owed the boss will be settled today. Qing, Yan Yuanshou also said that they have a plan to make a steady profit without losing money, and they are about to make a lot of money...so last night, they must have sneaked into this research institute, planning to find some valuable things to sell."

"Speaking of which..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the two people in the photo, "Who are they? Are they members of a violent society?"

"According to our investigation, the two of them work in a credit company called Dazang Financial Association," Chiba and Nobu Masashiro said, "That credit company has high-interest loan business, and it is said that they are company employees, but they are actually company employees. The collectors responsible for collecting the arrears.”

Chi Feichi withdrew his gaze from looking at the photo.

Is it really Dazang Financial Club...

That company has been too unlucky lately.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki has heard about the methods of those informal credit companies. Hearing what Chiba and Shinobu said, they know that they are not much different from some violent club members. They are people who rely on methods like intimidation to contribute to the group. "They should have offended many people, right?"

Chiba Kazunobu nodded, "The two of them often chase people for debts, usually participate in horse betting, overseas gambling and other activities, and occasionally associate with violent club members, bosozoku, and even bad guys in school. The teenagers have contacts, and the interpersonal relationship is very complicated. I can't find out for a while, but I think they must have offended many people."

"However, judging from the current situation, this incident looks more like an internal conflict?" Gao Mushe sorted out the clues, "The two of them told people yesterday that they would make a lot of money, and they came here together last night. Later, Iwabuchi was found dead on the bank of the river. The murder weapon was the flying disc that was supposed to be placed there, but Wannian did not call the police... But, if Wannian was the criminal, why did he attack his little brother? Woolen cloth?"

"And in order to make a lot of money, they chose to come here to break free when Dr. Konuma was not here..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked around, "Although it is a bit impolite to say so, it doesn't look like they are here. The goal of the flying disc has not yet been completed, so it may not be able to sell for a good price."

"It's not that I don't have valuable things here, obviously there is a valuable treasure!" Konuma said in three voices, pointing to the wall.

A group of people looked out along the fingers of Masazo Konuma, and saw a calligraphy work on the wall.

The hanging scroll is more than one meter long, and the ink characters '飞ばすぜ UFO Universeまで' are written vertically in the white area in the middle, and there are golden piping on both sides. It looks pretty delicate, but the ink characters can only be regarded as neat. There is still a big difference between those works with profound calligraphy skills.

"This is a painting and calligraphy I bought back at the end of last month," Konuma Masamune happily walked to the hanging scroll, "After all, this is a work written by a famous calligrapher and painter himself, and it cost me 50,000 yuan!"

"Fifty thousand yuan?!"

The three children were a little surprised.

Yuantai counted how many servings of eel rice in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion that this is not a lot.

Conan laughed inwardly.

If it is really a work of a famous artist, the purchase price of 50,000 yuan is really not enough to look at, and it is a bargain if you can buy it.

However, there are no works of famous artists who will write the words "UFO flies into the universe", right? Dr. Konuma was definitely deceived!

Konuma Shozo laughed triumphantly, "The other party said that this item matches me very well, so they gave it to me at a very cheap price. It was sold by a Mr. Dazang... Hahaha!"

"Ozou..." Chiba Kazunobu confirmed to Onuma Maszo in surprise, "Is it Daizo Kinji who sold this to you?"

Konuma Shozo didn't know why Chiba and Shinobu were so excited, and nodded in doubt, "Ah, that's right."

"Da Zang Jinzhi? I remember that it was for financing loans..." Takagi She heard the name of Da Zang Jinzhi, thinking back, his eyes widened suddenly, and he turned to Chiba and Shinobu to confirm, "Chiba, Dai Zang Jin Zhi is the president of the Dazang Financial Club you mentioned just now, right?"

Chiba and Shinsho nodded, "That's right, Iwabuchi and Wannian are the collectors employed by Daizo Kinji!"

Takagi She expressed emotion, "I never thought they would be Dazang's subordinates!"

Conan asked suspiciously, "Is that Mr. Dazang a very troublesome person?"

"Yes, he is suspected of tax evasion." Takagi looked down at Conan, and truthfully told the situation of Daizo Kanji, "I heard that he has hidden hundreds of millions of dollars in assets at home. Earlier this month, the National Taxation Bureau even came to him Carried out a blanket search of the residence, but never found where his stash of assets was placed."

Konuma Shozo looked at the hanging scroll, and sighed with some disappointment, "That Mr. Dazang... is that kind of person?"

Chiba Kazunobu frowned and said, "He is a greedy money slave, and even said that money below one million yuan is not qualified to be called money."

"By the way, Mr. Dazang was in the news some time ago, right?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki recalled, "It was mentioned in the report that he was investigated by the tax authorities, and after that, many people in the Tokyo area forum discussed him. , it is said that his company will also deceive others into making financial investments, and transfer the money invested by others into their own pockets through some means. After the pension and family reserves, the salesman of his company instigated those people to take out high-value loans. It is a well-known black-hearted credit company, but because there is no evidence of their company’s illegal operation, there is no way to take him.”

The three children frowned.

Ayumi sighed with emotion, "That man named Dazou is so bad..."

"Could it be that Mr. Dazang regretted selling the hanging scroll to Dr. Konuma, so he sent them here to take back the hanging scroll last night?" Mitsuhiko guessed, "As for the big money they said yesterday, it may be just to pass the time. Let them check out Japanese restaurant owners."

"No..." Takagi said, "Dazou Kaneji passed away the day before yesterday, because of a traffic accident."

"However, Daizo Kanji sold the hanging scroll to Dr. Konuma. After Daizo Kanji died in a traffic accident, Iwabuchi and Mannen sneaked into the research institute. I don't think it's a coincidence," Koshimizu Nanatsuki walked to the hanging scroll , looked up and down the hanging scroll, and seriously analyzed, "And would a person like Dazang spend all his time preparing a calligraphy work for 50,000 yuan? In his opinion, 50,000 yuan might not be worth his expense." What's on his mind? He sold this hanging scroll to Dr. Konuma, maybe there is a deeper reason..."

When Chi Feichi saw that Koshimizu Nanatsuki had hit the point, he reminded him, "For example... before being investigated by the National Taxation Bureau, Dazang wanted to transfer the privately hidden wealth, so he left a certain key on the hanging scroll. On the day, I sold the hanging scroll to Dr. Konuma for only 50,000 yuan."

Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up, "Then, did Yanbuchi and Wannian come here last night to find clues to that fortune?"

"That's right, so what they said in that Japanese restaurant yesterday and their behavior of breaking into the empty door last night makes sense," Takagi Tsubasa agreed excitedly, looking at Masao Konuma, "Dr. The hanging scroll was bought at the end of the month, and the National Taxation Bureau only went to Dazang’s home to investigate at the beginning of this month. It is entirely possible that Dazang transferred the wealth and then hid the key in the hanging scroll and sold it to Dr. Konuma!”

"That……"

As soon as Chiba and Shinobu spoke, their voices were overshadowed by the excited children.

"Okay! Let's investigate this hanging scroll carefully," Yuan Tai rolled up his sleeves and rushed in front of the hanging scroll, "This may be the key to the treasure location!"

Mitsuhiko also stepped forward quickly, and turned his head to talk to Ayumi excitedly, "Officer Takagi just said that the money that Mr. Dazang hid is several hundred million, right? After we find it, can we also share it?" What about one o'clock?"

Takagi was sweating, worried that the children would break the hanging scroll, so he stepped forward anxiously, "Wait, wait a minute..."

Before the three children reached the hanging scroll, they were stopped by Chi Feichi who took a step forward.

Chi Feichi leaned over to support Yuantai who almost hit his leg, and only after Yuantai regained his footing did he let go of his hand, "This may be an important evidence, you should look here."

Conan followed behind unhurriedly. Seeing the three children being stopped by Chi Feichi, he was not at all surprised.

"But..." Yuantai pointed to the direction of the hanging scroll unwillingly, "Why can Sister Nanatsuki just look at it?"

"Because she is the detective representative." Chi Feichi replied without changing his expression, took out a pair of medical gloves from his pocket, and handed it to Yueshui Nanatsuki.

Three children: "..."

Makes sense, but...

Conan: "..."

When did they elect a representative?
