Stay away from Conan

Chapter 1570 A client who tells lies?

It's just a pity that after a night of investigation, the idea of ​​the mysterious samurai using technical means to obtain the whereabouts of Usami Chiyo and the others was basically in vain——

Officer Megure and others sent police officers to investigate the place where their idol group rented, but found no trace of eavesdropping. Their mobile phones were also personally checked by Gao Yuan in the hospital, and no trace of another implant was found. Enter traces of tracking software.

In this way, the use of common technical means to obtain the whereabouts of Usami Chiyo and the others has been basically ruled out.

All that's left is that someone tipped off the information——

Regarding this point, Officer Megure and the others interrogated Usami Chiyo and their new manager overnight, and also investigated the manager's related items and other circumstances, but did not find anything suspicious.

Therefore, since there is no progress in this area for the time being, Gao Yuan does not continue to waste time on it.

As for Gao Yuan himself, after a night of investigation, he had a basic understanding of the kendo gym, kendo club mentioned by Usami Chiyo, and the kendo competition she had participated in through a simple search on the Internet. The information available online is limited. If you want to know more information, you still have to visit people on the spot and ask people who know the situation.

However, because this involves too many people and the scope is too large, without further clues, a hasty investigation can easily lead to the wrong direction and waste time.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to conduct aimless field investigations now. Therefore, before thinking of the key investigation direction, Gao Yuan can only find Usami Chiyo and ask her to see if she can contact some people such as the Kendo Hall and the Kendo Club. Key person, ask if anything happened here before...

…

In this way, just as Gao Yuan was stalling because there was no clear direction of investigation, on the other side, in the Moori Detective Agency, Moori Kogoro, who was watching the horse racing match, received a commission call——

"What? Looking for someone?"

After answering the phone, he heard a request from a woman on the other side of the phone. At this moment, because the horse racing competition was at a critical moment, which related to the outcome of his horse betting, Mouri Kogoro was inevitably in trouble and had no intention of accepting it. The person who placed the commission had no choice but to reply in embarrassment:

"Uh... I'm sorry, I just happen to be busy right now."

However, the lady on the other side of the phone did not intend to give up, but continued:

"But, there is someone I want to meet no matter what...and I am already near your office now. If possible, let's talk."

In this way, after listening to this, Mouri Kogoro looked at the results of the horse racing on TV and lost again, which made him a little upset. Just when he was about to refuse completely, Xiaolan, who was cleaning the room beside him, couldn't help but have a look on his face. Looking at him seriously, Mouri Kogoro immediately changed his attitude and replied:

"Ah...it doesn't matter if we just talk..."

Just like that, when the phone hung up, Xiaolan said directly to Mouri Kogoro:

"Really, Dad, can you be more serious about your work?"

In this regard, Mouri Kogoro just responded listlessly, still thinking about the result of the game where he lost the bet just now, and he was very unhappy with the client on the phone just now——

Really, I don’t know where the aunt came from and she insisted on entrusting me at this time...

In this way, just when Mouri Kogoro was thinking this, there was a knock on the door of the office. Thinking that the client just said that he was nearby, it seemed that the client was outside, so Moori Kogoro did not report any expectations. After casually saying "come in", a beautiful lady wearing a kimono, dignified temperament, and looking somewhat noble appeared at the door of the office——

"Hello, my surname is Chibo. I called you just now. Please forgive me for interrupting me suddenly, because I heard from my friends that if I ask Mr. Maori, he will definitely find it for me."

After entering the office, the lady who called herself "Chibo" greeted her politely.

As a result, after seeing the appearance of this client, Mouri Kogoro, who had been indifferent at first, suddenly became eyes wide open——

Unexpectedly, I thought she was an ordinary-looking aunt, but she turned out to be such a beauty.

Therefore, Mouri Kogoro asked Xiaolan to receive the other party first, while he quickly went back to the room, changed into decent clothes, tidied up his appearance, and then came out to meet the client——

"Sorry to keep you waiting dear lady!"

Pretending to be a gentleman, Mouri Kogoro took the other person's hand as soon as he came up and invited him to sit down.

As for such changes before and after, Xiaolan and Conan looked depressed. Of course, even the client himself was a little troubled by Mouri Kogoro's behavior, but he still maintained a dignified demeanor and sat down without saying anything. Got——

"Are you looking for a classmate from middle school?"

Later, when the client told her the commission, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but feel startled. He seemed to be surprised by the commission and aware of the trouble involved.

"Yes, we are all members of the Kendo Club."

In this regard, Ms. Chi Bo said affirmatively.

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but wonder:

"In that case, this person's address should be on the graduation album, right?"

"Well, because he moved before graduation, the address column is blank."

Ms. Chibo said with some regret, and then took out a photo from her bag:

"I brought the photos from that year. I wonder if they can be used as clues... It's the person in the middle holding the championship trophy..."

In this way, after roughly understanding the contents of the commission, and seeing that the person Ms. Ikeha said she wanted to find in the photo was a boy, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but lose interest at first, and then he was attracted by this photo. Feeling helpless as a clue to the situation.

However, looking at the appearance of Ms. Ikeha in this group photo, who was still a middle school student at that time, and learning that this photo was taken around thirty years ago, Mouri Kogoro was even more surprised, especially when he learned that the other person was not Ms. Ikeha. After his first love and Ms. Ikeha were still unmarried, Mouri Kogoro immediately became more interested and asked Ms. Ikeha about her hobbies and so on.

As a result, Xiaolan was slightly dissatisfied with Mouri Kogoro's attitude, so she intervened in the conversation between the two on the pretext of serving tea, and intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to her mother, Eri.

In this way, Mouri Kogoro looked depressed, but he was helpless when it came to his daughter's thoughts.

Conan, on the other hand, listened to the client's words, the personal hobbies she talked about, and some of the behaviors she showed. Looking at Conan's eyes, it was like showing something——

This client...

It’s all a lie!
