Seeing that the young man who claimed to be a detective came to him with such a document, Saeki was very calm and put the photocopied report on the coffee table.

"What does Mr. Wise mean by showing me this?"

Politely, Saeki asked.

"Mr. Saba really doesn't know this actress named Hanada Kochi?"

Gao Yuan took the photocopy back in his hand and began to speak.

"Well, then, I'll tell you the whole thing from beginning to end."

Saeki didn't object, just sat and waited for Takato to explain.

"Actually, at first, I was commissioned by a Mr. Nishikawa to investigate his illegitimate child twenty years ago.

Mr. Nishikawa had an affair with an actress back then, but because of the strong opposition of Mr. Nishikawa's son at that time, the two did not develop further, but the actress was exposed to the scandal of unmarried pregnancy. So the actress chose to rest in a fit of rage, and left Osaka while pregnant, and went to Tokyo, where she disappeared for nearly 20 years without any news.

"So, I'm here to find out where that actress went when she came to Tokyo."

Takato paused, saw that Saeki was unresponsive to what he had just said, and continued.

"Originally, if you want to find someone, you always need some clues. But after carefully searching for some information, I found a question - what is the real name of the actress? I flipped through a lot of newspaper reports that covered the incident at the time, and they only mentioned the actress's stage name, but there was no information about her real name.

So, I had to start with another clue - Mr. Nishikawa had given the actress a 6-carat blue diamond. However, when I tried to investigate based on this, it was also at an impasse - there was no news about this diamond in the market! ”

Speaking of this, Takato's gaze began to stare at Saeki Masa.

And Saeki Masa, who realized something, also responded:

"So, did you come to me to ask for news about gemstones? You're going to be disappointed, I'm a collector, but I can't give you any useful information based on information about a 6-carat blue diamond. ”

"Not really. But maybe it was providence, but as soon as I arrived in Tokyo, I ran into a strange thief Kidd who sent a notice letter to Mr. Saeki. Out of curiosity about the strange thief, I unraveled the contents of the teaser letter. So I went to the location of the thief's trailer and found the gem that Mr. Saeki had collected, 'Tears of the Moonlight'. ”

Hearing this, Saeki was finally a little moved, but he still wanted to speak.

"After I saw 'Tears of the Moonlight,' I finally understood why Mr. Saeki had bought it for six years and never shown it to the public."

"You see that?"

Hearing Takato say this, Saeki finally relented.

"Yes, Moonlight Tears can no longer be shown to the public, because the diamond set on it has shattered!"

Takato smiled.

"Of course, this was just a small episode after I came to Tokyo, but when I looked at the broken diamonds, I suddenly realized that if these diamonds were reduced to a single diamond, wouldn't they be about 6 carats in size? And, as it happens, it's still a blue diamond! ”

"So you think this diamond is the one you want to investigate?"

Saeki asked.

"That's exactly what I thought."

"Then Mr. Wise will be disappointed, after all, I only bought it at auction and don't know its origin."

Saeki said.

Gao Yuan was not impatient, after all, from the beginning, his words were half-truths and half-truths, and this was just a foreshadowing for the final questioning.

"Let's turn the conversation back to the previous thing about the actress's real name. It took me a lot of effort, and I finally found out the real name of the actress, which is written on this photocopy report - Hanada Kochi. ”

Twenty years ago, the Internet was ultra-high-end technology, and many companies did not have so-called server data, so their hacking skills are useless here.

And the brokerage company of that year has long since closed down, and I can't find any clues on the Internet alone, unless I can find the insiders of the year, but I don't know anything about the film industry in this world!

But the turning point came last night after reading the film and television dramas that the actress had starred in - it was a TV series about Ryoma Sakamoto twenty years ago, in which Takato actually saw a character he was familiar with!

That's right! Twenty years ago, the film industry! How can you forget this character in this world of Detective Conan! is the hero of this world, the main body of Edogawa Conan, and the mother of Kudo Shinichi - Yukiko Kudo!

Moreover, now Yukiko Kudo is in the United States, and she is a big celebrity who is a well-known female detective in the United States and is known as the "Baroness of the Night"! It's not easy to find the contact details of this big celebrity online!

It just so happened that I thought of this in the early hours of the morning, and it was daytime in the United States!

So with the mentality of giving it a try, Takato called Kudo's house on the other side of the ocean, but he didn't expect things to go unexpectedly smoothly!

After Takato briefly explained the purpose of the call, Yukiko Kudo was very enthusiastic to provide a very important clue - she remembered the real name of the actress she worked with back then, it was called "Xiaozhi", and she couldn't remember the surname.

After getting such a clue, Takato was very grateful for the help of Yukiko Kudo, which gave Takato a very clear direction of investigation - in the end, Takato found this photocopy report that Saeki was showing to him.

However, such an experience was beyond Gao Yuan's expectations - he was going to contact Kudo Shinichi after completing the challenge task, but he didn't expect Kudo Shinichi to have no contact yet, but he had contact with his parents first!

At this time, Saeki didn't react when he heard Takato pronounce the name "Hanada Kochi", so Takato continued.

"Mr. Saeki, when I was investigating the clue about the diamond, I accidentally checked the information about you, and found that your Saeki's surname was changed after marriage, and your original surname should be - Hanada!"

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan smiled—all the previous words were prepared for this moment.

"The two threads I pursued converged at this moment, and no matter what I thought, I didn't think it was a coincidence. So, Mr. Saeki, can you give me an answer? ”

With that, Takato changed his upright sitting posture and looked at Saeki Masa, waiting for his response.

"Uncle Saeki?"

At this time, Hanada Megumi walked in from outside the door alone, and saw a strange atmosphere in the living room, between Takato and Saeki.
