Chapter 0205 - Information on the Price Increase
Sunday, August 4th.
In the afternoon, around half past three, Dr. Asasa's studio.
Conan uses a cordless phone to broadcast the phone to the Twilight Police Department and turns the voice changer to Kudo Shinichi's frequency.
Conan smiled, "Dusk Police Department, long time no see, I'm Kudo Shinichi." β
"Shinichi Kudo?" shouted the Dusk Police Department in surprise.
Conan smiled: "I have found a few suspicious points about the sudden death of the president of Giant Wood Enterprises, and I would like you to investigate them......"
The Twilight Police Department asked, "You know about this too?"
"It was Conan who told me," Conan said, "There are three suspicions, one is that President Oki sweats a lot, the second is that the flower arrangement that the president's wife bought yesterday has completely withered today, and the third is that the chocolate is in a state of melting and solidifying, and I suspect that the temperature in the room is ......."
"Do you suspect that the indoor temperature in President Oki's house has ever risen?" asked the Twilight Police Department.
"Huh?" Conan was taken aback.
"Brother Maori has already said this. The Twilight Police Department laughed.
"And what about the results of the investigation?" asked Conan.
"In order not to alarm the murderer, we have not launched a full investigation for the time being. "We are now applying for a search warrant." β
"Search warrant?" Conan asked, "Is it going to search the driver's home at the time?"
"Yes, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, you can go with us if you have time. The Twilight Police Department laughed, "Alright, that's it, goodbye." With that, he hung up the phone.
"Hey, hey," Conan shouted, and then found himself hung up, "Really, Mori, no, how did Yamazaki determine that the murderer was that guy." Then he said to Dr. Asasa, "I'll go first, Doctor." With that, he left. β¦β¦
In the afternoon, at about half past three, a seven-story apartment not far from Dr. Asasa's house.
Four young women in black suits, with their hands on their chests, escorted the tea-haired women into the apartment in a quadrangular formation. Looking at the elevator, the young woman thought for a moment and ordered, "Take the stairs." Then as he walked, he asked, "Can you be sure who it is?"
The black suit at the head replied, "No." β
The young woman asked, "Is it because of this goal?"
The black suit at the head replied again: "I have already sent someone to Shifeng Security for consultation, it should be almost there." β
Nodding, the young woman did not speak again. The five of them cautiously went up to the sixth floor, looked at the empty corridor, and the four black suits took out their pistols from their arms together, loaded them, and then came to the front of room 603.
Looking at the hidden door, the four of them stepped forward and stood on both sides. One of them pressed his hand against the doorway and slowly pushed it open.
As soon as the door opened, the four of them immediately saw what was going on inside, three white sheets were on top of something, and it seemed that there were three people underneath.
Seeing this, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief together, and the black suit led by the leader shouted, "My lord, you can come over." It was Shi Feng's people who kept him who did it. As he spoke, he took the lead and put the gun away.
As soon as the young woman changed her unhurried appearance, she immediately ran over, rushed into the house, and shouted, "Bastard, I just applied for the listening equipment." β
Looking at the three sheets, the black suit led by the young woman who came in behind him asked, "My lord, are you avoiding it?"
"What's the matter?" said the young woman, but she stood by the window, and when she saw a telescope on the windowsill, she picked it up and looked towards the target, Dr. Asasa's house, and saw a small child running out of Dr. Asasa's house.
"This kid is," thought for a moment, and the young woman read softly, "Edogawa Conan, the child of Dr. Agasa's relatives, whose parents were injured in a car accident and went abroad for treatment, was supposed to live at Dr. Agasa's house, but now lives at Detective Mori Kogoro's house. β
At this time, the leader of the black suit shouted, "It's okay, my lord." β
Turning to look at the three people who were getting dressed, the young woman asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
All three of them said that after eating the takeout bento they ordered at noon, they fell asleep soon after, until they were woken up by ice water just now.
The young woman said with some joy: "Go and look for it, see if the lunch box is still there, and find out what kind of medicine they are using." β
Hearing this, the two black suits searched separately, and after a while, they came back together to report that they had not been found.
The somewhat disappointed young woman asked again, "So, have you heard any useful information this morning?" Then the three of them shook their heads together, and said, "That is to say, this set of equipment that cost 20,000 US dollars and was just bought back from the United States was not used much, so it was given to Shi Feng for safekeeping, and nothing of value was exchanged for it?"
Hearing this, the people in the room fell silent together.
Glancing at the three of them, and then looking at the room, the young woman asked, "By the way, I told you to prepare the back hand, have you prepared?" and then heard them say that it was on the ceiling in front of the door, and immediately told them to take a look, and as a result, the camera used to convey the final message was no longer there.
At this time, the mobile phone of the leader in a black suit rang, and when he answered the phone, he handed the phone to the young woman and said, "He has arrived." β
"Tell me, what's going on, how did Dr. Asa get involved with Shi Feng's security?" the young woman asked, "I remember when I bought his brief information a few months ago, it only cost 10,000 yen, right?"
The man on the other end of the phone said, "I just paid 1,000 yen to ask for the price of Dr. Akasa's brief information, and now the price has risen to 100,000 yen." β
"100,000 yen? The young woman asked, "But how can a person of this price afford to use the person they have been kept by Shi Feng?"
The man asked, "Would you like to consult?"
After thinking for a moment, she thought of the house under construction across from Dr. Asasa's house, and the young woman asked, "Can you inquire about the protected people living near Dr. Asasa's house?"
After a while, the man said with some horror, "After I paid 10,000 yen, they said, yes." And told me that if I wanted to know who it was, I would pay another million yen. β
"10,000 yen to say a word, these dead guys. The young woman grumbled, and then said, "All right, come back." Then he hung up the phone and instructed the black suit in charge, "Later, send someone to the intersection to see what signs are on those construction trucks, which belong to that company." As he spoke, he returned the phone.
The black suit at the head said, "Understood." β
At this moment, the young woman's mobile phone rang. Hearing the bell ringing, the young woman's whole body trembled, and then she took out her mobile phone and looked at it, her face was very ugly, she took a deep breath, and connected the phone.
A cold, piercing man's voice came, "Come back." β
Opening her mouth, the young woman finally said, "Yes." ββ¦β¦
MΔori Detective Agency.
When Conan returned, Mori was napping on his desk with the TV on, while Yamazaki was sitting on the couch drinking tea and reading a magazine. Lan wasn't there, and wanted to come and prepare dinner.
"Hey, Yamazaki, what's going on in the morning?" Conan asked in a whisper, "How do you know it's Mr. Ren?"
Yamazaki said, "Both the Twilight Police Department and the doctors said that President Oki's body was like that when they came. β
Thinking about it for a while, President Oki lay on his back on the bed with his hands at his sides, with a thin quilt covering his abdomen, and Conan said, "Not to mention the quilt, when I had a heart attack, most of my hands were at the mouth of my heart, and it turned out that Mr. Ren had moved the body." Then he asked, "What's the warrant, what evidence did you find, and what do you want to look for, Asron, or the temperature-controlling program?"
"The long-haired cat?" asked Yamazaki, "have you been to his house and what have you found?"
"Nothing," Conan said with a wry smile, "played a game of poker and came back with a kick of cat hair." β
"So he brought that long-haired cat back?" Yamazaki laughed, "but it's useless to know that." β
"Why?" asked Conan, surprised.
"I don't think you know, the control system is separated, the garden is different from the room, and the wine cellar," Yamazaki said, "The long-haired cat could spend hours in the garden, and the cat was very active in the early hours of the morning, sometimes. β
"I see. Conan said.
"By the way, the card game is a computer game, right? He let you play with the computer?" Yamazaki laughed, "It's so convenient for children." β
"What's convenient, the secretary ignored me. Conan said, "Tell me, what did you find?" β
"Knowing that Mr. Ren had touched Mr. Oki's body, we inquired with Mr. Miura, and it turned out that Mr. Ren was originally a programmer at Jumu Corporation. "Two years ago, Mr. Ren left the company and set up a software company with a friend, but they didn't do well, and the company closed down a year ago. Half a year ago, Mr. Ohki suddenly knelt down in front of President Ohki, hoping that President Ohki would hire him again, and it didn't matter if he was a driver, so President Ohki asked him to be a driver. β
"Know why?" asked Conan.
"The Twilight Police Department checked the information," Yamazaki said, "and that friend of Mr. Ren committed suicide after the company went bankrupt." And the company will go bankrupt, which may have something to do with President Ohki. β
"I see, it seems that it can't be wrong for him to have a grudge against President Ohki, and this motive is there. Conan said, "And two years ago, maybe he participated in or presided over the development of this set of control procedures for President Ohki's family." β
"Yes, plus the program is used on a computer, so you have to search it," Yamazaki said, "and it all adds up to almost a search warrant." β
Conan asked, "By the way, why did you lie to me this morning?"
"Where did I lie to you, of course I answered you what you asked. Yamazaki smiled, "This is not a murder at the moment, it is just a natural death, of course, the Twilight Police Department has to ask President Ohki's wife before the body of President Ohki can be autopsied." β
"At that time, the Twilight Police Department hadn't checked the information, so I thought it was a natural death, so why would I want to dissect it?" Conan asked, "Why is this the last sentence?"
"Haven't you ever wondered if the program is still with Mr. Ren at the time?" asked Yamazaki.
"He probably is," said Conan, "I think he's a man who loves computers, and programmers probably love their programs." β
"I'm not optimistic about this," Yamazaki said, "and I suspect that Mr. Ren has been on sleeping pills." β
"Are you saying that President Oki didn't wake up when he got heat, and that he took medicine?" asked Conan.
"That fat guy must be very afraid of heat, and the heat will last for a while," Yamazaki said, "It's possible that he didn't wake up, but the possibility of being drugged can't be ruled out." β
After thinking for a moment, Conan said, "Okay, everything depends on tomorrow." ββ¦β¦
