Stay away from Conan

Gao Yuan said this to Ooka Momiji about the photo——

In the photo shown by Gao Yuan, Ms. Satsuki, the former president of the Satsuki Club, was sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle, her head lowered and her face silent.

Facing the camera towards the vehicle, a person who appears to be a security guard is blocking the vehicle and facing the camera with a serious look on his face. It seems that he is driving away the onlookers.

Then, at the rear door of the vehicle, Mr. Achiha, the current president of the Satsuki Club, was opening the door and about to walk in.

In this way, this should be the date when Nagoro Shikao had an appointment with Ms. Satsuki, the president of the Satsuki Association, five years ago. As a result, Nagoro Shikao did not show up, and when Ms. Satsuki was about to leave the competition venue, but was surrounded by reporters, a reporter captured the photo. picture.

But now, according to Gao Yuan, he allowed himself to focus on the vehicle in the photo.

Ooka Momiji was a little puzzled by this, but she also seriously picked up the mobile phone where Gao Yuan showed the photo, and began to try to enlarge the photo and start to examine it carefully.

At the same time, faced with such a situation, Iori Muga standing on the side also came here to ask Miss Ooka Momiji after seeing that Gao Yuan had probably discovered something, so Iori Muga joined in. Come up and observe the photo shown by Gao Yuan, and the result——

"Huh? This car..."

Soon, just taking a glance at the photo, especially after Takato reminded him to pay attention to the vehicle, Iori Muga noticed something unusual and said:

"Too dirty..."

"well!"

Immediately, after Iori Muga clearly stated the problem, Ooka Momiji also completely connected with the previous paragraph that Takato said just now——

"Whenever Ms. Satsuki has an important competition, Mr. Achiha will definitely wash the car the day before the competition for good luck. He says that washing the car clean is the secret to winning."

Obviously, his teacher Nagoro Shikao made an appointment to fight against Ms. Satsuki. This could be said to be a head-on challenge to the Satsuki-kai's position at the time, so it was naturally considered an important match.

However, when encountering this kind of competition, the vehicle that Ms. Satsuki was riding in was so dirty and looked like it had not been washed at all. This was completely...

"Yes, it's very unreasonable, isn't it!"

Gao Yuan nodded, and after seeing that the other party had discovered the obvious problem, he said affirmatively:

"I specifically checked the weather conditions on the day of the race and the day before. It didn't rain. This rules out the possibility that the vehicle was so dirty due to mud splashing due to rain. Therefore, the only explanation is that during that race Mr. Achiha had not washed the car before, so the vehicle was in such a dirty condition.

"Then, here comes the question -

"Why didn't Mr. Achiha wash the car? Do you think this game is irrelevant? Or..."

Having said this, Gao Yuan looked at Ooka Momiji and the others with a slightly gloomy smile, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and continued:

"There is no need to wash the car to be lucky for the important competition, because they know that this competition will no longer be held normally, and Mr. Nagoro Shigao will not be able to show up on the day of the competition!"

In this way, Takato said the matter solemnly, which could not help but shock Ooka Momiji's expression, while Iori Mugo's expression became slightly serious.

"So...Mr. Akechi, you mean..."

Somewhat unbelievably, Ooka Hongye asked Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan nodded and smoothly said what he really wanted to say:

"I think the disappearance of Mr. Nagoro Shikao is probably related to the former president of the Satsuki Club, Ms. Satsuki, and the current president, Mr. Achiha! And although Ms. Satsuki has died of illness..."

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan paused and then added:

"Maybe Ms. Satsuki's death is related to this matter..."

Then, he picked up the original topic and continued:

"But Mr. Achiha should know the truth. So, in order to find out the truth about the disappearance of Mr. Nagoro Shikao, Miss Ooka, can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Achiha?"

In this way, after hearing Gao Yuan's request, Ooka Hongye looked at Gao Yuan with a worried expression, then after thinking about it, he nodded and gave the answer:

"This...should be no problem...but..."

"Besides that, I have some requirements regarding the specific details of the appointment with Mr. Achiha."

After seeing Ooka Momiji agreeing to help him meet with President Achiha, Gao Yuan went a step further and prepared to make a more critical request, so even his expression became more solemn.

In this regard, looking at Gao Yuan's serious look, Ooka Momiji couldn't help but be affected by his movements and became serious, and asked solemnly:

"Yes, please say."

So, Gao Yuan continued:

"It is said that the Satsuki Club has a pair of traditional singing cards specially used in the national competitive singing competition held by the Satsuki Club. After the competition at the Satsuki Club last year, this song card was stolen for a period of time. Although it was quickly recovered, last year's competition champion expressed the need to tighten security, so the song card, which was usually kept on display in the museum, is now being kept with tighter security measures, right?

"I want to see that song card, okay?"

At this point, Gao Yuan has basically said everything he wants to say and hopes for Ooka Momiji's help——

After all, the truth about Shikao Nagoro's disappearance is essentially that five years ago, the day before Shikao Nagoro's match with Ms. Gaoyue, Shikao Nagoro went to Ms. Gaoyue alone and played a competitive karuta game with her before the match.

As a result, Ms. Gaoyue, who lost miserably, felt humiliated and killed Shikao Nagoro in anger on the spot.

Mr. Achiha was of course aware of this matter, and later Achiha and Gaoyue handled the scene together, hiding Shikao Nagoro's body, as if Shikao Nagoro was missing.

However, there is actually a very critical piece of evidence left in this matter, that is the karuta.

At that time, when Nagoro Shikao was competing with Gao Yue, he used the same set of karuta from Gao Yue. After the competition, Gao Yue killed Nagoro Shikao on the spot, which caused Nagoro Shikao's blood to stain the karuta. As a result, the karuta that has been preserved to this day has become the most core evidence to prove Nagoro Shikao's whereabouts, and the story of the original work "The Crimson Love Song" also revolves around this karuta.

Therefore, if I want to deal with this matter in advance to prevent it from being left alone, once the subsequent events develop like the original work and become extremely uncontrollable, I need a very critical key to control the overall situation.

And that key is that karuta!

As long as it is confirmed that there is indeed Nagoro Shikao's blood on the karuta, then with this entry point, let the police intervene, and everything will become logical...
