Maybe that's the case.

As the people from the cup detective agency said, Kusukawa is following up on a big case. When the case was a little eyebrow-raising, he received a call from an informant, so during the call, he listened while putting the key to the case on this piece of paper, and then when he went out, he tore it off casually.

With that in mind, Hattori couldn't wait to find out what had been written on the last sheet of this paper.

He picked up the pencil on the table and scratched it diagonally across the paper with the black part of the tip. Using the principle of pen pressure, the mark on it is highlighted.

I saw that part of the blackened paper was not stained with lead. The handwriting on it reads: Kenhashi-cho, Ito family.

At this time, Kazuha, who entered the room at some point, saw the words on it and said, "How is it the Ito family in Kenhashi Town?" ”

"Huh?" Hattori was stunned, "Do you know this family?" ”

Toyama and Ye are not sure if their judgment is right, after all, there are too many people with the surname Ito in Japan, and there is more than one family with this surname in Kenhashi.

She simply said, "My father used to work in Tokyo when he was working with lawyers here. There is a famous female lawyer in Tokyo who also lives in Kenhashi-cho, called Misari Ito, and I still have her phone number on my phone. ”

"Since he is a famous lawyer, he should have nothing to do with this case...... Hattori thought for a while and said, "But if your father knows him, Nanchuan must know him too." Anyway, let's give a call first. ”

After three busy sounds, a gentle and intellectual voice came from the other side: "Hey, this is the Ito family, is there something wrong?" ”

As soon as he was about to speak, the mobile phone was snatched away by Hattori Heiji, and his voice was urgent: "Hello, lawyer Ito." I'm a friend of Mr. Kusukawa, Hattori. Have you seen Mr. Kusukawa recently? ”

"Hattori?" Ito Misari thought for a while, and suddenly realized that he had been in contact with the police in Osaka Prefecture before, Hattori Heizou and Toyama Ginjiro. She asked rhetorically, "Excuse me...... You're Hattori Heizou's ......"

"I'm Hattori Heizou's son, Hattori Heiji." Hattori said in a hurry.

"Oh! It turned out to be you~" Misari suddenly thought of the rumors circulating in Kansai, "I've heard of your reputation, a high school detective." After a pause, she replied, "I met Mr. Nanchuan, and he said that he was going to handle a big case, about code decryption and the like." But he really couldn't think of the answer to the code, so he left the piece of paper full of codes for me to help me think about it. ”

Hearing words such as decryption and codes, Hattori Heiji suddenly came to his senses.

"That piece of paper, can you show us it!?"

"Of course......"

At this time, Misari, who was full of flesh, suddenly showed a malicious smile, but her voice was still gentle and natural.

She looked at Nan Chuan, who had fallen to the ground at her feet, and continued to say into the phone: "Then you can come to my house in a while, and I'll show you the code......"

Misari Ito, who hung up the phone, suddenly turned gloomy and kicked Kusukawa on the floor hard.

She said angrily: "You want to threaten me with that videotape, I really don't know whether to live or die." Even if you don't tell me the password to the vault, I'll know what the password is if that high school detective is there! As she spoke, she instructed the two accomplices standing beside her, and said, "Hurry up and drag this man to a hidden place, and the detective will come in a moment." ”

"I see......" the two accomplices said in unison.

In fact, the cause of the incident is that Kusukawa accidentally discovers the secret of Misari Ito, and she teaches her protégé and others how to evade taxes. After knowing this, Nanchuan secretly recorded it with a video recorder.

In order to prevent others from discovering the existence of this videotape, Nanchuan put it in the safe deposit box of the Dongdu Bank. And wrote a string of codes to prevent himself from forgetting the password of the safe.

Then, Kusukawa, who didn't know the height of the sky, went to Misari Ito's house alone and warned her not to do such things again. Mei Sari was afraid that after this incident was exposed, it would affect his career, so he found two helpers to force him to ask him the password to the safe. As a result, before he could ask the secret of the code, Nanchuan lay on the floor pretending to be dead in order to save himself and the videotape.

However, Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama, who don't know all this, are on their way to Kenhashi Town.

I don't know how long later, the two stopped at an Ito mansion in a certain chome.

"It should be here......" He Ye muttered.

Heiji Hattori was just about to press the doorbell with Kazuha Toyama, but he noticed that a touch of aqua blue in the afterglow was fleeting around. He jerked around, but it was empty.

"What's wrong, Heiji? I just looked around. ”

Hattori hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "It's nothing, maybe I'm wrong." As he spoke, he stepped forward and pressed the doorbell of the house.

Ding dong~

"It's coming!"

The woman's voice went from far to near, and when she reached the door, the door opened quietly. A plump woman with short hair in a red coat stood in front of them.

"Ah, you two are the Hattori who called me just now, come in." The woman smiled.

Toyama Kazuha took a step closer at this time and said, "Hello, I am the daughter of Toyama Ginjiro, and my name is Kazuha. ”

When the door closed again, Hattori Heiji looked at the shoe prints on the floor of the entrance and asked casually, "Lawyer Ito, did you ask someone else to help you crack that code besides us?" ”

"No~" Misari said with a smile, "I'm the only one in this room." ”

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji's face turned pale with a "hmm-" as he bit his lip tightly and subconsciously stopped Toyama Kazuha who wanted to take off his shoes and enter.

This lying woman, under the smiley mask, probably has an unknown face. Perhaps Mr. Kusukawa's disappearance is related to the Ito family.

But he remained silent, and made up an excuse at random and said, "We still won't go in today, because we haven't solved the matter of Mr. Nanchuan's disappearance." So I took my leave......"

"Pingji?" Kazuha didn't understand why he suddenly changed his mind, and was dumbfounded and ready to leave with him.

For Misari Ito, Kusukawa is "dead", and now the only one who can know the password to the safe is this high school detective from Osaka. So you can't let the duck fly away under any circumstances.

She immediately took out a silver spear from her coat pocket and pointed it at Kazuye, and said viciously: "Today, no one wants to walk out of here!" ”

Hattori Heiji heard the sound of his upper load, and his nerves suddenly tensed. Everything was exactly as he thought.

When he turned around again, there were two more men with big shoulders and round waists next to Ito Misauri, and the muzzle of the black hole was facing Toyama and Ha.

Damn it!
