Looking at the words "the legendary killer Kondo", Gao Yuan felt a little speechless, he had just experienced the legendary murder incident in Fifteen Night Village, and now he didn't know whether to believe or not to believe the word "legend".

However, I still intuitively entered this information into the crawler software I wrote and began to retrieve the information.

Soon, Takato discovered that all cases related to "Kondo" had the same characteristics: the body was never found, no evidence was ever left, the victim almost disappeared out of thin air, and in the end, the police could only determine that the person was missing.

After the crawler software sorted out the information found, Gao Yuan also found a feature: all the news about "Kondo" first came from a magazine, and this magazine belonged to a publishing house called "Yuwentang".

After thinking about it, Gao Yuan came to this publishing house called "You Wentang" early the next morning and found the editor-in-chief of this magazine.

"He was just a simple errand worker, but he was efficient and careful, and his customers gave him a good review. About eight years ago, he abruptly closed his shop and switched to an underground business. ”

This is what the editor-in-chief said after Gao Yuan explained his intention to the editor-in-chief.

"Have you seen him in person?"

Looking at the editor-in-chief swearing, Gao Yuan asked with some curiosity.

"Of course not."

The editor-in-chief hurriedly waved his hand, "He never sees a client." 'Kondo' is very careful, as long as it is a case handled by Kondo, the police have no clue at all. ”

"In that case, how did your magazine get the news?"

In this regard, Gao Yuan wondered.

"Because people often anonymously send news about 'Kondo' to my editorial office."

The editor-in-chief said.

"Didn't you publish it without confirming it?"

Takato asked.

"No way, I was only responsible for this third-rate magazine, and I couldn't ask for a scoop."

The editor-in-chief said helplessly, "And, indeed, the people killed by 'Kondo' mentioned in the news will eventually be recognized as missing by the police, I think there is still some credibility." ”

Seeing that the editor-in-chief couldn't ask for more information here, Gao Yuan also took his leave first.

A person who started an underground business about eight years ago can't find the slightest evidence in all the cases he has handled, which really sounds like an urban legend, not to mention that this "legendary killer" has only done all kinds of errand work before this, and the span is too large.

Moreover, can anyone really do it, and after eight years of continuous work, is it possible that there is no possibility of even leaving a beginning and an end?

Leaving the publishing house, Gao Yuan thought so.

Speaking of which, why did you investigate this "legendary killer Kondo"?

I was originally going to investigate the disappearance of Masahiro Komura, but after learning that Masajo Komura had a good relationship with President Iwaki and was also missing, I felt that there might be a connection between the two cases.

But they are both also missing, and there is a big difference between the two.

I don't know when or where President Iwaki disappeared. And Takato, who has seen the scene of Masahiro Komura's disappearance, knows that this scene is obviously not "no evidence left".

In other words, the two may not be the same person at all, so why bother to investigate the "disappearance of President Iwaki"?

Thinking like this, Takato still came to the bank of Rice Flower City, where the missing president of Iwaki City was.

It's just that I didn't expect that at the door of the bank, I met an old acquaintance - Maori Kogoro!

"Is there something wrong with Mr. Maori coming here?"

Gao Yuan stepped forward and asked.

"Hey!"

In the face of Gao Yuan's sudden conversation, some sneaky Kogoro was still taken aback, and only after seeing that it was Gao Yuan who came was relieved, "It's you kid." ”

Saying that, Mori Kogoro ignored Takato and walked straight into the bank's vice president's office, and Takato followed in with some curiosity.

Finding the vice president, Kogoro Mori said, "Mayuko asked me to come over." ”

Vice President Takeo Emoto is a middle-aged man with gray hair and a thin body, and when he saw Maori Kogoro coming in, he immediately got up and said, "It's a Maori detective!" Follow me! ”

As he spoke, he was about to take Kogoro to the lower floor of the bank, but looking at Gao Yuan, Takeo Emoto still asked out loud: "Who is this?" ”

"Wise and lofty, but also a detective."

Although I don't know what happened, I deliberately called Maori Kogoro a detective, so there should be something to deal with, so Takato also deliberately mentioned his identity as a detective when he introduced himself.

Takeo Emoto didn't say anything about this, and the company commander took Takato to the basement of the bank, the vault floor of the Rice Flower City Bank.

Before arriving at the vault, Takeo Emoto pointed to the wall where the vault combination lock was located, and a piece of paper was taped to it, with the words printed - "If you call the police, you will blow up this bank immediately."

"It suddenly appeared during the inspection this morning, and the password of the vault was changed by someone somehow, so two Mr. Detectives, can you help us investigate."

Takeo Emoto said.

"Well, this is on my Detective Mori Kogoro!"

Kogoro couldn't help but say proudly.

"But I guess it's bigger than that."

Gao Yuan said, pointing to the inside of the vault.

The door of the vault is an iron gate made of iron rods, and you can see through the gap between the iron rods.

Inside, there was a row of numbered safes against the wall, with a desk in the middle, and Gao Yuan was pointing to a pair of human legs!

A person is lying in the vault, his upper body is in front of the desk in front of his eyes, and only a pair of exposed legs can be seen! At the same time, a mobile phone can be seen next to these legs.

"Hey! What! ”

When Kogoro heard Takato's words, he looked in the direction Takato was pointing, and then exclaimed, "Miss Mayuko! ”

Hearing Kogoro's words, Takeo Emoto also came over to take a look, and his face changed instantly.

"Mr. Maori, do you know?"

Looking at the part where only his legs were exposed, Maori Kogoro said with such certainty, and Takato asked with some suspicion.

"That's right, that phone is Mayuko!"

Kogoro was convinced, "I remember the phone chain. ”

Meanwhile, downstairs in an apartment, Masami Hirota quietly arrives. This is her newly rented apartment these days, and she has already paid a year's rent in advance.

Walking into the rented room, Masami Hirota looked at the empty room, inexplicably feeling a little relieved, and then came to the phone in the room and dialed a number, which was the phone number of the detective mediation agency that she had investigated in the past few days.

At this time in "Sand glass", it is unusually deserted, and there is not a single guest.

Frao Tripi at the bar was washing his cup a little bored, when the phone rang, and seeing that there was not even a clerk at this time, Franco Tripi reluctantly picked up the phone.

"Excuse me, is there a detective commission here?"

On the phone, a woman's voice rang, crisp and pleasant, and the person who made this call was naturally Masami Hirota.

"Yes, introduce myself, my name is Franc Tripi, the owner of the coffee shop and detective agency."

Franco Tripi replied, "What kind of commission?" ”

"I'd like to ask the detective to help me find someone."

Masami Hirota explained the intention.

"Okay. Are there any requirements for the detectives who need to be commissioned? ”

Tsugai asked.

Masami Hirota thought for a moment, and then said tentatively, "It's best to keep it a secret." ”

Hearing this request, Franco Tripi paused, and then whispered, "Then can this commission be completed in one day?" I've got a treasured, highly confidential detective here! ”
