77 Walking with Kogoro
In the afternoon, Gao Yuan came to a coffee shop near Didan High School, and at this time, it was the end of school at Didan High School.
Soon, a girl wearing the uniform of Teidan High School also walked into the coffee shop and sat down in front of Takato - it was Ayako Ninagawa.
Because of the second meeting in the rice flower general hospital yesterday, Ayako Ninagawa asked for Takato's contact information, and today, Takato received a call from Ayako Ninagawa, asking him to meet at a coffee shop near Teidan High School.
Because Ayako Ninagawa is one grade higher than Shinichi Kudo, she is still in class today as normal.
After Ayako Ninagawa sat down, Takato began to ask.
"Is there something wrong with me suddenly?"
didn't answer directly, Ninagawa Ayako seemed to be a little shy, and squirmed a little before she said slowly.
"That...... Actually, it's not a big deal. β
"Then ...... Tell me about it? β
Gao Yuan was a little helpless when he saw this, so he asked tentatively.
Hearing Takato say this, Ayako Ninagawa seemed to be a little relieved, so she quietly narrated.
"Actually, this is just a personal doubt on my part, and I don't know if it counts as a case commission. But because I met you yesterday, Mr. Wise, I thought of asking for your opinion. β
After a pause, Ayako Ninagawa seemed to feel a little rude, so she said, "I'm sorry, because of my personal selfishness, isn't it too rude to call Mr. Wise out?" β
"It's okay, just keep talking."
Gao Yuan was relieved that he had nothing to do at the moment anyway.
Hearing this, Ayako Ninagawa was completely relieved, so she stopped being verbose and began to go straight to the point:
"As you know, Mr. Wise, my father is the director of Rice Flower General Hospital, so I also go in and out of the hospital a lot, and I am very familiar with some of the doctors in the hospital. Because of this, sometimes, I also hear some rumors in the hospital. Recently, I heard about a strange thing. β
Hearing this, Gao Yuan probably understood that the matter she was asking for advice should be related to the next thing, so he listened patiently.
"Not long ago, the hospital admitted a patient named Takeshi Sakurai. Originally, he was only in a coma from injuries caused by a fall, but when he woke up, he had amnesia. β
Speaking of which, Ayako Ninagawa explained, "Originally, it was nothing, but then I heard that an older sister I knew seemed to be preparing to have a relationship with this amnesiac Mr. Sakurai, so I felt a little uneasy. β
After a pause, he continued: "That sister's name is Kanae Mizushima, and she is the daughter of Mr. Tokuji Mizushima, who lives in our hospital ward. Because Kaae Mizushima's sister often comes to visit Mr. Tokuji Mizushima in our hospital, I know her and she is a very serious sister. So when I heard the rumors that she seemed to be dating the amnesiac Mr. Sakurai, I always felt uneasy. β
After hearing what she said, Gao Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly-because he heard such rumors in the hospital, he came to consult with him, and he always felt a little hasty.
"Is that all?"
Gao Yuan couldn't help asking, "Is that the reason why you care about this matter is that?" β
Speaking of this, Ayako Ninagawa's face was slightly red, and she seemed to be a little shy to turn her face, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Because of my fiancΓ©." β
After a pause, Ayako Ninagawa turned her face back and continued.
"I had a marriage contract with Dr. Kohei Urata at the hospital, and he happened to be the attending physician of Mr. Tokuji Mizushima, so I heard about it from him. Because Mr. Tokuji Mizushima is terminally ill, it seems that he wants to see his daughter get married before he dies. But if it's because of this, it's always a bit hasty to associate with a person with amnesia, after all, Kanae Mizushima is a very good person, and I've heard from other doctors that Mr. Sakurai is a person who has a very poor life. β
The reason is not very good.
Looking at the somewhat shy female high school student in front of him, Gao Yuan thought so.
However, have you already made a marriage contract in high school? And the subject is a doctor who is much older than her. Thinking of her identity as the daughter of the hospital director, I always feel that I can make up a lot of plots in my brain!
Just looked at Ayako Ninagawa, Takato didn't speak for a long time, and Ayako Ninagawa was also silent, as if she was struggling with something, and then seemed to have made a decision, before she said:
"Maybe it's empathy. After all, I had planned to marry Dr. Urata after graduating from high school, but I always felt a little uneasy about it, and after all, it was about my happiness for the rest of my life. When I saw Sister Kanae Mizushima and Mr. Sakurai dating on the premise of getting married, it seemed that I could always feel something different in them. So I wanted to figure out why two people with such a big difference could come together! β
At this point, Gao Yuan finally figured out what was going on, it seemed to be incident counseling, but it was essentially emotional counseling - a girl who was about to graduate from high school was going to marry a doctor much older than herself, and she felt confused about such a future. As a result, after seeing two lovers who are very different, the girl empathizes and wants to find her own answer from their relationship.
Really, the troubles of female high school students, how can I understand this!
Gao Yuan thought helplessly, after all, until before the crossing, he had always been single.
"Just investigate why they chose to date."
Gao Yuan concluded, after all, he couldn't answer other questions himself.
"Well, in general, that's right."
Ayako Ninagawa responded.
"If I have time, I'll look it into for you."
Gao Yuan said, and agreed.
Soon, it was getting late, and after the two said goodbye, they left separately, and then, on the way home, Gao Yuan received a call from Maolilan:
"Hey! Mr. Wise, are you convenient now? β
On the phone, Mao Lilan asked in an anxious tone.
"Yes. Is there something going on? Specially called me. Speaking of which, didn't Maori-san go on a school trip to Hakone Town today? β
Gao Yuan asked with a little confusion.
"On the way to school, she was kidnapped! I'm worried! So, Mr. Wise, can you help me! Shinichi, after being kidnapped in the garden, also becomes very strange! β
Mao Lilan said anxiously.
"Shinichi? Did he go on a school trip too? β
Hearing this, Takato was a little strange, because Kudo Shinichi swore last night that he was not interested in the school trip.
"Yes, Shinichi is here too."
Maolilan said.
"And where are you now?"
"The 'Prince Hotel' on the edge of Lake Ashi in Hakone-cho."
And the same conversation also happened in the Maori Detective Agency, Maori Kogoro, who was originally lying on the sofa and smoking, immediately got up after receiving a call from Maori Lan, and said a little excitedly:
"What? The eldest lady of a rich family was kidnapped? That's your most important friend, and I'll find the garden!" I'll come right over and wait for me! β
As he spoke, he hung up the phone, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, picked up the blazer on the side, put it on, and went out.
Hakone Town, located in Kanagawa Prefecture, is just on the edge of Tokyo, and if you take the rail, you can get there quickly. But to go to Lake Ashi, there are all kinds of transfers, so it will be a little troublesome, so after thinking about it, Takato chose to rent a car to go there.
When I came to the car rental company, Gao Yuan was ready to rent a car to go over, which was not too expensive compared to taking a taxi, and it was more convenient to drive by myself.
As a result, Gao Yuan proposed to rent an ordinary car, but was told by the clerk that the only one left was a cheaper car, which was rented just now.
"Look, the man hasn't left yet."
The clerk pointed to a 12th-generation Crown sedan in the garage and said.
Looking in the direction pointed by the clerk, Gao Yuan saw a middle-aged uncle in a suit and a mustache, who was about to walk into the car - Maori Kogoro!
Seeing that the clerk said that the rental car was Maori Kogoro, Takato immediately ran up and asked Maori Kogoro who was already sitting in the car:
"Maori detective, where are you going so late?"
Although he asked, Gao Yuan faintly had a guess.
"It's you!"
Seeing Takato, Maori Kogoro suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was, and said impatiently: "Xiaolan has something to ask me, I'll go to Kanagawa Prefecture." β
"That's right, let's go together!"
With that, Gao Yuan sat directly in the co-pilot's seat - sure enough, Mao Lilan didn't just ask himself. However, I didn't expect that Maori Kogoro's choice coincided with himself.
Seeing that Takato sat directly in the co-pilot's seat like this, Mori Kogoro looked disgusted, but without saying anything, he started the vehicle and drove in the direction of Kanagawa Prefecture.
