Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Chance Amnesia Incident
As the wedding anniversary of the two is getting closer and closer, Kogoro is working harder and harder to learn cooking.
At this time, he basically spent his time on it every day, and his cooking skills had roughly surpassed Xiaolan's level.
Therefore, the breakfast, lunch and dinner at home every day naturally fell into his hands. At this time, he was on his way home after accompanying Xiaolan and Conan to the market.
While the three of them were chatting, Kogoro saw a woman walking on the overpass, and strangely enough, her steps were extremely vain, as if she would fall down in the next moment.
Sure enough, just as Kogoro thought of this, she took a few more steps and fell down the road at once.
Seeing the danger she was encountering at this time, Kogoro rushed over with a brisk step, and then grabbed her steadily.
After straightening her body, Kogoro suddenly noticed that she was unconscious. "Dad, how is she?" Xiaolan hurriedly walked over and asked.
"I've fainted, Xiaolan, you go and get out of the car, we'll take her to the hospital." "Okay Dad!" She didn't hesitate to respond to Kogoro's instructions.
At the Rice Flower Hospital, after a detailed examination of her, the doctor told Kogoro and the others that she had been hit the head before.
So after she wakes up, there may be a period of confusion. As the doctor had said, she woke up hours later with only her own name remembered.
Maya is her name, and the doctor says that her memories should come back naturally after a while, but Kogoro decides to help her regain her identity.
After several inquiries to her, no useful information came out of her, which gave her a headache.
Still, Kogoro and Conan saw something in her. First of all, she has relatively well-developed muscle groups and may have been involved in sports.
Then she had a horizontal mark between the index finger and thumb of each hand, which seemed to be working with some kind of silk thread.
Later, Xiaolan also found all her belongings from her, a puzzle, a slightly broken page, just these two unknown things.
The page is identified as the third verse of Matthew 5 in the Bible, and at the top of the page is 913 and a passage in English, which translates to the Last Supper.
Kogoro first thought that she had made an appointment to have dinner somewhere, but there was no clue.
He looked at the page again, and saw that the paper used was of very good material, not shoddy.
"Oh, I remembered! This should be some of the big hotels that place the Bible in the guest room. Kogoro looked excited.
"That's really good, with the way Sister Maya looked at the time, she shouldn't have gone too far, so if you check it from around there, the scope will be narrowed down a lot at once!"
After Conan's excited words, the three of them began to act. Xiaolan's Conan is in charge of calling to confirm whether the nearby hotel will put Bibles in the guest rooms.
And Kogoro went to the hospital to take a picture of Maya, and then made multiple copies of it, and then asked some of his men to go separately to the hotel where Xiaolan and Conan confirmed that there was a Bible.
They took the photos and asked them one by one, and soon after they got the results, and the three of Kogoro immediately went there with Maya.
At the front desk of the hotel, they learned that Maya's full name was Tachibana Maya, and that it was the hotel they had stayed in two days earlier.
However, after investigating, it was discovered that the address and phone number she left at the hotel were fake, which made Kogoro feel strange.
After continuing to ask a few words, Tachibana Maya ran out with his head covered in pain, and Kogoro and the three immediately followed.
After exiting the hotel gate, Kogoro grabbed her, and before the two could speak, a red car slammed straight into them.
Kogoro's eyes suddenly froze, and he wanted to pull Tachibana Maya out of the way, but he found something wrong with her.
Although her body was tense and her face was solemn at this time, she did not feel afraid. Without thinking too much, Kogoro dodged by jumping back alone.
And Tachibana Maya rolled forward and avoided it as well. Seeing the car leave directly, not intending to stop at all, Conan immediately chased after it.
Because he had seen the man in the car, he secretly followed them when the three of them were shopping for groceries.
At this time, he suddenly remembered the newspaper he had read this morning, which contained a message related to Kogoro.
Yuda, a prisoner who was exposed to the crime by Kogoro before, successfully escaped from prison last night, and then thought of this person's previous behavior, and suddenly figured it out.
However, at this time, he has not yet connected this case with the matter of Tachibana Maya, but simply chases it.
But Kogoro at the door remembered the content of this incident, that is, in order to take revenge on Kogoro, Yuda invited the killer Tachibana Maya.
Unfortunately, however, Tachibana was in a car accident while heading to the booked location, and the bus she was traveling in collided with a van.
And she suffered a brief amnesia under such circumstances. And by chance, she was rescued by Kogoro, and tried to help her get her memory back.
Thinking of this, Kogoro couldn't help but sweat, and tried to help her retrieve her memories to assassinate herself, such an act was really stupid.
But now that he has remembered, it's easy, and then he first finds the bus that happened in the accident, so that Tachibana Maya can recover this part of his memory.
Conan then suggested taking a bus on the same route as the accident bus, wanting to know where she had wanted to go.
And Kogoro is not just an ordinary detective, after having a large amount of money, in order to be able to resist the black-clothed organization in the future, he has wasted a lot of energy.
He has two forces at his disposal, namely an intelligence investigation team composed of detectives he has recruited.
In the previous matter of Moon Shadow Island, Kogoro asked them to do it, and the second was just a group of security forces.
Those were veterans, seasoned retired or former police officers, and the best people his security company had discovered.
He asked his security guards to follow the bus in different cars, and after a long and boring wait, Tachibana finally spoke.
She pointed to an abandoned factory building and said it was where she had wanted to get off the bus.
With Kogoro's order, many security personnel infiltrated one after another, and when Kogoro and his party walked in, Yuda had already been caught by them.
However, Kogoro didn't say anything, but then avoided Conan and Xiaolan, and arranged for Tachibana Maya to meet Yuda, and when she saw Yuda, she immediately recalled most of her memories.
