Chapter 978: Will the medicine last until tomorrow?

"How is this possible? Now the murderer's next target is 'Eight'! What if something unexpected happens here?"

Listening to Officer Shiratori's report on the phone, Officer Megure objected without thinking.

However, Officer Shiratori on the other end of the phone couldn't help but said:

"That's what I told Mr. Sawaki. But Mr. Sawaki said that Mr. Shang Shengyi made an appointment with him to discuss matters related to handing over a restaurant under his name to him, which is related to Mr. Sawaki's It’s important business, so I have to go no matter what…”

"Shang Shengyi?"

At this time, on Officer Megu's side, Gao Yuan couldn't help but froze when he heard the name read out from Officer Memu's mouth after picking up the phone——

"Oh? I know this person."

In this regard, Mouri Kogoro on the side could not help but explain:

"He is an entrepreneur who has opened more than a dozen restaurants in the city. I heard that he seems to be planning to build a marine entertainment facility in Tokyo Bay, and the high-end restaurant to be built there is called 'Water Crystal'."

"Huh? This kind of thing...how come I haven't heard of it?"

Marine entertainment facilities near Tokyo Bay?

A restaurant called "Water Crystal"?

Regarding these, Gao Yuan had previously searched for relevant information on the Internet because of the original work, but could not find any relevant information, so he felt strange and asked.

"Oh, because it has not been fully completed, the specific details have not been disclosed to the outside world yet. This was mentioned to me face to face by Mr. Shang Shengyi the last time I talked."

Mouri Kogoro explained.

However, while Gao Yuan was talking to Mori Kogoro here, Officer Megure was listening to Officer Shiratori's report on the other end of the phone. After pondering for a moment, Officer Megure couldn't help but sigh and compromised:

"Okay. Since it involves such an important matter for Mr. Zemu, we have to do a better job of protecting him and let him meet Mr. Shang Shengyi."

After saying that, Officer Memu hung up the phone, then looked at Gao Yuan, ready to return to what he was talking about before——

"Brother Akechi, do you have any thoughts on the whereabouts of Murakami's father?"

"ah……"

Because after hearing the content of Officer Megu's phone call just now, especially the name "Shang Shengyi", which obviously did not match the original work, Gao Yuan's thoughts had not completely turned back. Hearing Officer Memu's inquiry, Gao Yuan He couldn't help but change his thoughts and said:

"I think since Murakami has been in prison for more than ten years and does he have any relatives or friends outside, then where will he go after he comes out? Moreover, after he comes out of prison, could he walk aimlessly on foot? Is it possible? What kind of transportation will you take..."

"Takagi!"

Suddenly, after hearing what Gao Yuan said, Officer Memu suddenly had an idea and ordered to Takagi Wataru:

"Go and investigate whether Murakami took any public transportation nearby on the day he was released from prison! If you can find out, find out where he ended up after he was released from prison!"

"yes!"

After receiving such an order, Takagi Wataru had no choice but to comply. After seeing Officer Memu signal to him, Takagi Wataru left the scene and prepared to investigate.

"As for the investigation of Mr. Asahi Hiroki's interpersonal relationships..."

Seeing that Takagi Wataru was sent to re-investigate the whereabouts of Murakami's father-in-law, Officer Megure was thinking about who should be sent to investigate Asahi Hiroki's interpersonal relationships.

In this regard, Sato Miwako volunteered:

"Officer Megure, then let me investigate!"

"Okay. In that case, Sato, it's up to you to investigate Mr. Asahi Hiroki's interpersonal relationships. If you find anyone suspected of being the murderer, report it to me immediately!"

Seriously, Officer Memu couldn't help but say.

Seeing this, seeing that Sato Miwako was going to investigate the interpersonal relationships around Asahi Hiroki, Takato couldn't help but say:

"Officer Megure, I was originally investigating several incidents that had happened with Officer Sato. Now that Officer Sato is investigating Mr. Asahi Hiroki's interpersonal relationships, it would be better for me to act together with Officer Sato. Maybe we can find out Some clues."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, brother Mingzhi!"

Seeing that Gao Yuan was willing to help, Officer Mumu naturally did not refuse and agreed to Gao Yuan's suggestion.

So, after that, Takato, who was about to investigate the interpersonal relationships around Asahi Hiroki with Miwako Sato, thought about the plot of the original work, and combined with the current situation, he still asked uneasily:

"By the way, regarding Mr. Zekihei's meeting with Mr. Shang Shengyi tomorrow, are you just going to film Officer Shiratori?"

"Well, after all, Shiratori is now in charge of Mr. Sawaki's safety."

Officer Megure replied.

"Really? But, I have a bad feeling..."

Gao Yuan said this——

In the original work, the final plot of the entire incident took place in the restaurant called "Water Crystal", where the murderer Sawaki Fairy gathered all the people he wanted to kill and finally created An explosion destroyed the place.

But now, in Gao Yuan's own eyes, Sawaki's fair suspicion has not been cleared, and he also has to go to "Water Crystal" to face the entrepreneur...

Although the entrepreneur's name is now the same as Mr. Hiroki's, the surname has changed. Originally, the entrepreneur should have represented "Nine", but now, the name "Shang Shengyi" has nothing to do with the number...

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Gao Yuan, who was thinking carefully, suddenly let out a startled sound, which made everyone present feel strange. Then Gao Yuan said solemnly:

"Shang Shengyi... the word 'Shang'... seems to have a 'six' on it!"

Although the direction of the dot is not right, it looks a bit like "Li", but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense that the word "Shang" looks like "六".

And that entrepreneur was still the first target to be killed in the original work, so at this time, although his name has changed, but his identity has not changed, this entrepreneur can be said to be in danger——

"I understand. It seems that we have to go take a look tomorrow morning. In addition to protecting Mr. Sawaki, we also need to meet Mr. Shang Shengyi!"

In this regard, after hearing what Gao Yuan said, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but suggest this after thinking about the shape of the Chinese character "Shang".

"But……"

In this regard, Mouri Kogoro was a little puzzled and said:

"Mr. Shang Shengyi and I only met once. We only met each other when he asked me to find a cat last time. We can't be called friends at all... So, logically speaking, he won't be the murderer's target, right? Moreover, Isn’t the relationship between ‘Shang’ and ‘Six’ a bit far-fetched? Besides, there is still a ‘seven’ between ‘eight’ and ‘six’?”

"Perhaps the murderer didn't think so at all. He just thought that people who knew Detective Mori were the targets he would attack. This murderer has already killed Mr. Asahi Hiroki, so we cannot let go of any possibility and must No more victims!"

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi said seriously——

"But, will the effect of your medicine... last until tomorrow?"

Seeing Kudo Shinichi's serious attitude, Gao Yuan started to murmur in his heart...
