Chapter 417: That elementary school student as an assistant
Xiao Ai took Mangono upstairs, pricked up his ears and looked strangely at Gao Cheng and Conan, who were whispering, and hurriedly hugged Mangono by the neck when Gao Cheng looked over.
"Xiao Ai," Gao Cheng scratched his hair, "This case may meet those guys, you stay at home first." ”
Back in the office, Naito looked at Gao Cheng more and more anxiously, "How is it, Detective Joto?" Is there a way to find Mr. Itakura? ”
Gao Cheng pushed Conan to the front: "Just leave it to my assistant." ”
"Assistant?"
Naito looked at Conan blankly.
originally thought that Gao Cheng was joking, but he really used elementary school students as assistants...... Is this okay, I would have known that I would have gone to Mori Kogoro......
"Haha," Conan glanced back and explained to Naito with a dry smile, "Actually, Brother Joto told me that he borrowed shogi, chess, and Go at the same time, and there shouldn't be many guests who stay in the hotel for a week in a row...... So if you call the hotel by pretending to be Mr. Itakura, you might ask......"
Conan said and looked at Gao Cheng, who nodded in agreement with the waiting look, his eyelids instantly collapsed, and he silently took out his voice change.
Really......
"What are you doing at this hotel?" A loud voice imitating Itakura's voice sounded in the office, and Naito was all startled, dumbfounded by Gao Cheng, who was contacting the hotel at his desk.
I don't know how that kid got it, but the person who spoke was obviously a detective from the castle, but the voice that came out was exactly the same as Itakura......
"I'm sorry," the other side of the phone responded cautiously, "who are you......"
"I'm the one who borrowed shogi, chess, and Go from you! The phone in the room suddenly didn't work, I can only call you with my mobile phone, hurry up and come and check! ”
"But our hotel didn't lend those things......
"Mistaken."
Gao Cheng hung up the phone and continued to contact one hotel after another against the phone book.
"It's the ...... of the new rice flower hotel"
After talking one after another, Gao Cheng turned back to the crowd and said, "Room 2004 of the New Rice Flower Hotel, I will go over with you." ”
"Oh."
"I'm going to get the car over."
The three of Naito hurriedly went downstairs, seeing Gao Cheng's brows furrowed slightly.
Conan wondered, "Is there a problem?" ”
"The hotel staff just said 'it's broken again', and someone may have used the same method to find Itakura, or it may have really broken down once......"
Gao Cheng paused, and said to the little mourner who stayed behind: "Let's go over and see first, and then talk about what is going on." ”
Xiao Ai clenched his palm: "If you run into them, don't mess around." ”
"Hmm."
Gao Cheng smiled and nodded, took the coat at the door and went out with Conan.
Unlike Conan, he didn't have much hope for this investigation, if the black-clad organization had been so good at investigating, so many undercover agents would have been investigated clearly.
Except for members who often appear like gin, the most core members are more mysterious than the other, and there are many departments within the organization, and they don't even know each other.
Xiao Ai was in charge of drug research in the past, but this time Itakura may be involved in software development......
It's too much, he's even seen Conan once, but he still doesn't know what the black-clad organization does.
After driving to the New Rice Hotel, the group was about to take the elevator to the 20th floor, when Conan suddenly became nervous.
"What's wrong?" Gao Cheng took a step behind and smiled, "Why is your face so ugly?" ”
"No, it's nothing," Conan looked at Naito in front of him, his palms slightly tightened, "Joto, Itakura has been in contact with tequila, is it really okay for us to bring these people over?" When Tequila said, 'You're useless', could it mean 'You're done, and you should die'?
"If Itakura is an accomplice of those people, and the organization is going to kill him this time...... Maybe they're already in that room......"
"What are you talking about?" Gao Cheng said speechlessly, "Itagave and Itakura have been in contact for two years ago, and they will be killed early, and how can those guys be so sloppy to let Mr. Soma know...... The people who investigated Itakura this time weren't necessarily them, and besides, if there was a problem, it was me as a detective who was suspected......"
Watching the elevator door open, Gao Cheng patted Conan on the shoulder: "I know you're in a hurry, but it's better to calm down, we're just here to complete the commission, and we won't be suspicious." ”
"I know."
Conan followed into the elevator and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the relaxed and casual Gao Cheng.
was actually comforted by the city household with few roots......
"Mr. Naito," Gao Cheng said as he saw Naito press down on the 20th floor with the strange dot matrix next to the button, "What are these black dots?" Why is there a button next to each number? ”
"It's Braille," Naito said embarrassedly, "It's meant to be convenient for the blind, but I'm used to touching ...... when I don't have good eyesight."
"Oh."
The elevator stopped on the 20th floor, and everyone found room 2004 and rang the doorbell, only to find that the doorknob hung a Do Not Disturb sign, and no one responded.
"Could it be that you went out to eat?"
"Then we'll wait for him to come back......"
"No need," Gao Cheng said after looking at the electronic door lock, "Conan, call the waiter." ”
It wouldn't be a good thing if someone had found out about Itakura's room beforehand......
"Is there anything you guys are up to?" Just as a staff member cleaning the room came over and looked at everyone suspiciously.
"Big brother," Conan pulled the staff member, "can you help me open Uncle Itakura's room?" He seems to have forgotten what we were coming to and didn't know where he had gone...... Hurry up! I'm going to pee out! ”
"Oh, what a ......"
The staff wiped his sweat, helped open the door and said, "Are you all relatives of Mr. Itakura?" This guest doesn't seem to have been out of the house much, and we weren't allowed to clean the room......"
"He's still the same," the long-faced young man said with a smile as he looked at Itakura, who was lying on the edge of his desk, "and fell asleep on the table." ”
"Really, what do you say to concentrate on work, but it's not lazy? I can't escape this time, Mr. Itakura......"
"Don't move!" Gao Cheng called out to a few people who were close to Itakura and walked to Itakura's side first.
There was still a laptop on the table, and the computer had an overturned pill bottle, and all the pills were scattered, while Itakura was completely out of breath, his hands clutching his chest, and his face was painful......
Naito looked at each other and said strangely, "What's the matter, Detective Joto?" ”
Gao Cheng checked the condition of the body: "He's dead...... The time of death is more than one day, judging from the degree of corneal opacity and the stiffness of the corpse, it should have been two days, so call the police first. ”
"W-no, won't?"
Naito was pale and sweaty.
"How so?"
"I'm afraid it's because of a heart attack and I can't take medicine in time......"
Gao Cheng squatted down to take a closer look.
Saliva flowed from the corner of Itakura's mouth, but the direction was not to the side of the tabletop, and it was not a horizontal flow, but a pen that went straight down to the chin......
The technique is not clever, and it can be seen that Itakura did not die of natural illness, but someone disguised himself like this.
"Anyway, please don't come near here until the police come?" Gao Cheng reminded.
His fears really came true, Itakura was killed two days ago, not considering the black-clad organization, if the murderer used the same method to find this room, it is very likely that he was among the three people who received the video email.
Gao Cheng scanned the surroundings with both hands, and suddenly saw Conan hiding a disk.
This kid......
Gao Cheng's brows jumped, and he didn't say much.
This guy doesn't just destroy the scene, it looks like it should be a clue related to the organization.
It's better to solve the case quickly, it's still too dangerous to keep this kind of place, and he doesn't plan to use his original identity to deal with the black-clothed organization......
