Act 301: Darkness in Miniature (1)

At this time, Naito, who had sparse hair, handed out his business card. "If you find Mr. Itakura, please contact me."

Hearing this, Ryusuke Soma next to him yelled, "It's too cunning, it's obvious that I asked Mr. Itakura to play the game first." ”

None of the three wanted to compromise, and their words were full of gunpowder.

"Aren't you a company?" Kogoro asked stunned.

"Of course not." "I was the one who asked Mr. Itakura to design the Go software. ”

Naito took over: "I asked him to design chess. ”

Ryusuke Soma said, "I asked him to design a chess game. ”

Kogoro touched his chin pretending to think about it and said, "Since he is so famous, will he be kidnapped by someone?" ”

"Impossible." Naito muttered.

"No, it's very likely......" Ryusuke Soma on the side agreed with Mori Kogoro's words and recalled the past: "I remember about two years ago, when I went to Mr. Itakura's company, I saw a man with a beard on his mouth and a Kansai accent talking to him. ”

Conan seemed to have thought of something in this way, and listened carefully.

Ryusuke Soma turned to Naito and said, "You should have seen him too, right, when Mantendo held a game conference this year, that guy also came." ”

Full of heaven!?

The appearance of the tequila flashed through Conan's mind in an instant, causing him to tremble.

He immediately ran in front of Ryusuke Soma and asked like crazy, "Uncle, what did that big man say?" What did Mr. Itakura say in his office? ”

"I don't know......" Soma gasped as he remembered the wolf-like eyes of the tequila. I just watched him walk out at the door and said, 'You're no longer useful,' ......"

"Is that all? There must be something else to say! ”

Conan's hysterical voice made Xiaolan mistakenly think that he was here to make trouble, and just as he was about to pick him up, he heard the sound of the lock cylinder turning from outside the door.

Glenlevy slowly pushed the door in, looking ignorant: "I heard a commotion in the house just outside the door, what happened?" Are you talking about Mr. Itakura? ”

"Senior?" Xiaolan was surprised to see him.

"Hanazuka...... Brother? Conan hesitated, his face quickly darkened.

Originally, he was suspicious of Glen Levy's identity, but now it has just been determined that Tequila and Itakura have been in contact, but he appeared here at this time. Could it be too much of a coincidence?

He stared at Glenlevy for fear that the man was doing something suspicious.

Because Glenlevy often asked Conan to play football, Kogoro was not surprised and replied, "Yes, that famous CG game software engineer suddenly disappeared, so we are going to find his whereabouts." ”

"That's right...... Glenley said slowly, "If it's Itakura, I saw him the other day......

"See him?" Kogoro was shocked and immediately stood up. "Where?"

Glenlevy nodded his chin and looked upward, recalling, "Last week when I was eating at the Rice Flower Restaurant, I used to take an elevator with him. At that time, I could clearly see that the key card number he was holding was 2004. I guess he's going to live there......."

What Glenlevy said was a complete fabrication. He was just entrusted by Satsuki to help Conan and his party solve the case earlier, and get the floppy disk with Takura Itakura's diary in his hands.

"Really?" Kogoro and several other clients were in high spirits, shouting that they were going to leave now.

At this time, Gran Levi stole a glance at Ryusuke Soma, who was following behind. He was the only one who heard this and still frowned.

It seems to be worried about something.

On the way to the Rice Flower Hotel, Mori Kogoro glanced disapprenantly at the back seat of the crowded car. He complained: "Really, why are you a few here too, it will only cause us trouble." ”

Xiaolan hugged Conan and explained, "Because Conan wants to follow." ”

"Well, forget it, Mr. Maori." Glen Levi played the steering wheel with one hand, looked at the road ahead, and said: "Anyway, this time we and the three commissioned soldiers went to the hotel in two ways, not crowded at all, Conan can go if he wants." ”

Conan didn't let Glenlevy go because he had said nice things for him. The milk asked in a milky voice, "Na, Brother Hanazuka." Can you elaborate on your meeting with Mr. Itakura last week? ”

Glenlevy knew Conan's thoughts, so he didn't say anything. With a smile, he glanced at the inner rearview mirror and said, "Oh, when I was waiting for the elevator on the first floor that day, I saw that Mr. Itakura was also waiting for the elevator there. Later, when I pressed the button in the dining area on the second floor, I saw Mr. Itakura press the button on the twentieth floor. ”

In this way, Hanazuka has only gone up one floor, and the two of them have little to do with each other...... Conan thought to himself.

"Oh, yes." Gran Levi pretended to remember something, and said, "Thirty minutes before I entered the hotel lobby, I used to talk to Gao Yue on the phone at the parking lot at the door. At that time, I noticed that Mr. Soma's car was parked right next to my car, and I entered the hotel with a long look. ”

"Mr. Soma?" Kogoro asked nervously, "Are you sure you're right?" ”

"Absolutely." Glenleeway's tone was firm, "I felt like I had seen him when I saw him in the office just now, and now I finally remember." ”

Moriran, who was sitting in the back seat, muttered, "However, Mr. Soma said that he hadn't seen Mr. Itakura for a long time. ”

How so? Conan froze.

If it was true that Ryusuke Soma had been to the Rice Flower Hotel thirty minutes before Takura Itakura, as Gran Levi said, he should have brought it up. But just now in the office, when Glenlevy said the words "Rice Flower Hotel", he was indifferent.

Somehow, Conan suddenly had an ominous premonition, but he could only pray to himself that this idea would never become a reality.

After a while, when Glenlevi parked his car outside the hotel, Ryusuke Soma's car arrived at the same time. Seven people walked through the door of the Rice Flower Restaurant together.

Kogoro Mori didn't mind Ryusuke Soma, because he was preoccupied with Yoko Okino's show tonight and looked at the time on his watch worriedly.

"Looks like I'm going to miss the live broadcast tonight......"

Subei, who was walking behind, happened to see Maori's watch and teased: "Mr. Maori, if you wear this kind of bargain, you will be disgusted later." ”

Naito came over and explained, "Because Mr. Itakura is the most particular about watches, so he ......."

At this time, the three of them rolled up their sleeves together, revealing their watches. "We've all got new watches."

Subei glanced at Soma and questioned maliciously, "You can't be a fake, right?" ”

"Stupid! This is a new watch I bought at the store five days ago! I think yours is a fake! ”

"What did you say?!"

Maori Kogoro watched a few people pushing and shoving, sighed helplessly, and entered the elevator with Conan without saying anything.
