Chapter 50: How is this man like a ghost?

The name "Tanaka Taro", like Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Xiaoming, is too ordinary, but it makes people feel that it is a fake name at first glance.

Several people automatically ignored the name and pondered the previous information.

Kogoro Mori touched the back of his head and guessed, "Do you have any items worth twenty-five million?" Looking at the meaning of this letter, I want to buy and sell. ”

"How can I have such an expensive ...... Yes! Halfway through Xiao Chuanya's words, he suddenly remembered something, and his face changed slightly:

"In my office, there is a painting left by my grandfather, although I have not specifically asked anyone to estimate the price, but a colleague who knows how to paint told me that it is worth at least 20 million!"

Two detectives, one big and one small, "Oh! "Yes.

Maori Kogoro was quite proud, he twisted his mustache, and said categorically:

"There must be someone who wants to buy your paintings, and they are afraid that you will not agree, so in order to please you, that person will use this crooked idea of giving you gifts and money, and then directly taking the paintings."

Conan's guess also flashed through his mind, but after listening to Maori Kogoro's words, he hesitated again-

If you want to please someone, will you really give this kind of gift that is so old that even the shell is worn out?

Or are these things not amazing, but in fact they are like old paintings, some kind of out-of-print precious limited edition?

Conan couldn't think of a reason for the moment, he touched his chin to see what the neighbor who had been silent had to say, but this time he realized that the people didn't know where they had gone.

…… Did he find the case boring and didn't want to continue listening to it, or did he already have an idea and was in a hurry to verify it?

Obviously he doesn't have a clue, but he has already entered the practice stage?

Conan inexplicably had a sense of urgency that he had just finished writing a multiple-choice question, and the other party had already finished answering the big question.

…… But urgency can't solve the problem, he can still only reason step by step.

At present, now that we know that the target of the anonymous person may be the painting hanging in the hospital, the next step is to definitely go to the hospital to see if there are any suspicious people and continue to look for clues.

The group quickly set off in Ogawa Masayuki's car.

When he stopped at a traffic light, Conan, who was leaning against the window, was stunned and sat up straight.

He pressed his face to the window, glancing hard at the window of a bus slightly ahead in the next lane.

Mori Kogoro and Masayuki Ogawa in the front seat were unaware of his anomaly.

Mao Lilan glanced at him, leaned next to him, and looked out suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

At this moment, perhaps the green light for a right turn turned on, and they were still parked on the straight road, but the string of cars next to them had already started away.

The bus quickly disappeared from view, and Conan slowly leaned back into his seat, shaking his head in a complicated mood: "It's okay. ”

As a detail-oriented detective, he knows all the stops in Tokyo, not to mention the bus routes in Rice Flower City.

Therefore, he also knew that the bus just now would stop near the Rice Flower General Hospital after going around the city center for a small half circle.

It's normal for buses to stop at hospitals.

But what is not normal is that the neighbor downstairs seems to be sitting in that car???

…… Even they only found out about Masayuki Ogawa's place of work after getting in the car, and Shiraishi left so early, there was no reason to know in advance.

Did you miss any details?

Leaning on the driver's seat, Masayuki Ogawa, who was waiting for the red light, suddenly had a hairbreak behind his back.

He chuckled in his heart, thinking that he was being targeted by an anonymous messenger, and quickly looked around, but found nothing, only the child behind him looking at him innocently.

Ogawa Masayuki smiled at him kindly, forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart, delusion, it must be too much psychological pressure these days......

It didn't take long for the green light to turn on, and Masayuki Ogawa settled down and drove away again.

————

Rice Flower General Hospital Station.

Shiraishi threw a coin into the bus slot, went down to the platform to the background sound of jingling money, and looked around with a slight novelty.

Compared with the places he had been to before, it was obviously much more prosperous, with high-rise buildings of considerable scale and a bit of a downtown look.

It's been so many days, and it's the first time I've officially entered the city, and Baishi still feels a little emotional.

His eyes unconsciously stopped on the opposite side of the bus stop, on a video game center, and he really wanted to go in and have a look. This is not for fun, but mainly to take this rare opportunity to examine the entertainment life of the people in the nineties.

But after staring at the store for several seconds, Shiraishi finally walked away. He knew himself quite well, and knew that once he walked in, he was likely to get too caught up and forget the time, and it would be troublesome. Let's wait until we're done with business......

After noting down the opening hours at the door of the video game store, Shiraishi went to the convenience store to buy some snacks as planned. While the clerk was collecting money and bagging it, I inquired about the location of the kindergarten.

After leaving the convenience store and walking straight down the street, turning right at two intersections, and passing through a park with children's entertainment facilities, a long wooden fence painted sky blue appeared before his eyes.

This is the boundary of the kindergarten. Through the not-so-low fence, you can see a group of children playing with toys in the yard accompanied by their teachers.

It seems that the lunch break has passed, and the children have started to go out.

This seems to be the back of the kindergarten, and Shiraishi stopped and looked at it for a while, trying to guess which one was his son based on Ogawa Masayuki's face.

It's a pity that this is too difficult, and I don't know that Masayuki Ogawa's son is not outside. A few minutes later, under the teacher's increasingly strange eyes, Shiraishi finally gave up and began to walk along the courtyard wall in the direction of the kindergarten gate.

After all, it is located in a bustling city, and although the paths here are narrow, there are also pedestrians passing by from time to time.

Shiraishi couldn't tell which one was Ogino's father, but fortunately, he also brought a special ghost to find his father.

Just after a corner, Ogino Tomoya suddenly sighed.

Bai Shi looked down at him, and saw that the little ghost's eyes were shining, and he pulled his legs and ran to a bench in front of him: "Dad! ”

The bear children really didn't give up, but fortunately, this one is more special......

Shiraishi still maintained an unhurried pace and did not stop him.

Sure enough, after Tomoya Ogino rushed out two or three meters, as if he had hit some invisible wall, his two short legs kicked the ground in vain, but he couldn't run at all.

The kid was stunned for a moment, and finally figured out what the problem was.

He pressed a little prickly hair, and walked back to look at Shiraishi pitifully: "Can we go to my dad." ”

Shiraishi understood very well, and then decisively rejected him: "No." ”

At this time, there are still more than ten meters away from the bench.

Bai Shi walked calmly in the midst of a cry that he could only hear, filled with magic sounds.

During this time, like every bored and unhurried pedestrian, he casually glanced at the man on the bench and passed by him.

After walking more than ten meters, Baishi turned a corner and came to the side where the kindergarten gate was located.

He didn't look back to make sure, he had memorized the man's appearance.

It was a man in a brown suit, a wide-brimmed top hat, and a square-faced.

If it weren't for the fact that the beer belly was a smaller model, Shiraishi almost thought that the Twilight Police Department was fishing during working hours.

The man sat in the chair all the time, and his demeanor was quite peaceful. At his feet was a stiff paper bag with a handle, bulging, I don't know what it contained, but from Ogino Tomoya's previous words, there was at least one knife in it.
