114 Akemi Miyano's Dedication (Part I)
"Doctor, are you alright? Hurry up and help me recharge! β
At Dr. Asasa's house, Conan takes his tracking glasses and gives them to Dr. Asasa to charge them.
Just today, when Conan used this tracking glasses to track the transmitter attached to Masami Hirota's watch, he chased him outside a video game mall, and because the glasses were out of battery, he couldn't continue to track, so now Conan came to Dr. Asa to charge his glasses.
"Oh, don't worry!"
Dr. Asa took the glasses and found the charging cable to charge the glasses, "The so-called speed is not enough!" β
"But if you don't hurry......"
In the face of Dr. Asa's slow movements, Conan said a little impatiently.
"You weren't like that before."
While searching for the connector on the glasses and connecting the charging cable to the charging port, Dr. Asa said, "No matter how urgent you are, you can't be a good detective if you don't act calmly." β
As he spoke, Dr. Asa paused, and as if remembering something, he continued:
"Do you remember? A billion-yen cash truck robbery occurred a few days ago. β
"Well, the newspaper said there were three prisoners."
Conan nodded in response, remembering it clearly.
"One of the guards tried to subdue the criminals while they were unprepared, but instead they were killed. This is what happens to those who underestimate the prisoner. β
Dr. Asa admonished, "You're shrinking today because you were too underestimated, aren't you?"
"It's not wrong, but it's ......"
After being preached by Dr. Asasa, Conan still wanted to refute it, but was interrupted by Dr. Agasa's next words.
"This incident has evolved from a simple search for people to a murderous incident, if you act alone and too lightly against the enemy, I am afraid that something will happen."
"However, even if you take Uncle Maori to ......"
"Calm, composed, and prudent. Your favorite Sherlock Holmes hasn't always been like this? β
"And I'm not talking about Maori detectives." β
"This incident does sound quite strange."
As he was talking, Gao Yuan, who came out of the basement, picked up the conversation between the two at the right time.
"Mr. Wise? Are you here today? β
Seeing Gao Yuan coming, Conan said with some surprise.
"Oh, Gao Yuan, it looks like you're pretty much done with that software for me, right?"
Dr. Asa also looked at Takato at this time and asked casually.
"Well, it's Dr. Asasa's software, and the effect is amazing."
Gao Yuan said sincerely, and then looked at Conan.
"I don't have anything to do in the future, so why don't you share with me the information you have now?"
In this regard, watching the tracking glasses start to charge, Conan nodded at Gao Yuan, and told Gao Yuan about the cause and process of this incident.
"In other words, when you traced the glasses to the video game store, the big man you ran into was Akira Hirota, who entrusted another detective to find Mr. Kenzo Hirota, right?"
After listening to Conan's narration, Takato thought for a moment and asked.
"That's right."
Conan said solemnly, "Miss Masami Hirota said that she was the daughter of Mr. Kenzo Hirota, and Akira Hirota told the detective that he was Kenzo Hirota's younger brother. But the problem is that Masami Hirota said that she was from Yamagata Prefecture, but Akira Hirota was from Kyushu, and the two of them said that they were completely different, but the person who could be found was the same person. β
"That is, some of them are lying."
Hearing this, Gao Yuan said, "Of the two of them, some of them are looking for Kenzo Hirota for another purpose. Combined with the fact that Kenzo Hirota has been killed now, the murderer should be a tall man, and the signal that should have followed Miss Masami Hirota's watch was found Akira Hirota, and I have reason to believe that Akira Hirota is the one who lied. β
"I think so too."
Conan said, "Maybe it was Akira Hirota who killed Mr. Kenzo Hirota, captured Miss Masami Hirota, and then snatched Masami Hirota's watch, which caused me to follow the signal today, but I ended up seeing Akira Hirota." It's just a pity that the glasses happened to run out of battery at that time, otherwise I would have been able to confirm further! β
"Yes."
Gao Yuan nodded at this, "Next, wait for the glasses to be charged, continue to track, and you should be able to know what's going on......"
As he spoke, Gao Yuan thought for a moment:
"That's right, when it's charged, I'll accompany you to take a look. By the way, let's call Maori classmates too, if it weren't for Maori's worries about Miss Masami Hirota this time, maybe this incident wouldn't have been discovered by you. β
Conan had no objection to this, so after Dr. Asa fully charged the tracking glasses, Conan, who wore the glasses, followed Takato and went to the Maori detective agency first.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Wise, where's your car?"
Walking on the road, Conan asked with some confusion.
"Because of the second-hand car I bought, I had some minor problems, so I went to a repair shop to repair the car."
Gao Yuan said helplessly.
β¦β¦
"Hey! Does this little ghost really know where the man lives? β
Sitting in the taxi, Mori Kogoro said with a look of disbelieving.
"Well, he said he met him on the way back from the arcade."
Takato explained for Conan.
"Can you believe what the little ghost says?"
Mori Kogoro still has some doubts about this.
"But now I can only trust him."
Mao Lilan on the side also helped, "Because we don't have any other clues!" β
In this regard, Maori Kogoro didn't say much, so he could only let the driver follow Conan's command.
Eventually, according to the source of the signal seen on the tracking glasses, the group came to the front of a high-rise hotel.
"He's staying in this hotel?"
After getting out of the car, Mori Kogoro said a little strangely, and Conan looked at the signal source that was now close at hand, so he rushed into the hotel regardless of it.
In this regard, Maori Kogoro and others had no choice but to follow.
Coming to the front desk, Mori Kogoro took out the photo of Akira Hirota from another detective, confirmed with the front desk attendant whether this person lived here, and when they got the exact answer and the room number where he lived, everyone came to the elevator, pressed the button facing up, and waited for the elevator to arrive.
At this moment, Conan and Mao Lilan were very anxious, while Gao Yuan secretly put his phone back in his pocket and quietly waited for the elevator door to open.
Soon, the elevator reached the first floor and opened the door.
In a hurry, Conan ran straight to the elevator without looking, and ended up loading a small cart full of suitcases, and loaded all the suitcases on the small cart.
Pushing the cart was a woman with long black hair, wearing a beret and sunglasses, and heavy makeup, but she looked very young, but she gave a very mature feeling.
"Ahh
Seeing a few people outside the elevator, the woman seemed a little surprised.
"I'm sorry!"
Although he was in a hurry, Mori Kogoro immediately stepped forward to help carry the suitcase that was knocked down by Conan back to the cart, and Takato also took a hand by the way.
Although the suitcase was indeed heavy, Gao Yuan glanced at the woman after carrying the suitcase back to the cart.
It seems to have a heart, and at the moment when the woman pushed the cart out of the elevator, and Takato entered the elevator to wipe her body, Takato secretly raced something into the other party's hands, and then waited for Maori Kogoro and them all to get on the elevator, and after pressing the floor button, the elevator door closed.
Coming to the eighth floor, in front of the room with house number 802, Mori Kogoro began to knock on the door vigorously and shouted:
"Hey! I know you're in there! Obediently come out for me! β
However, this behavior did not get feedback from the room, so Gao Yuan on the side tentatively turned the doorknob-
"The door is unlocked."
With a serious expression, Takato said, and pushed the door open.
But at the moment when the door was pushed open, looking in from the door, Mori Kogoro, Mori Lan, and Conan were completely frightened by the mirror image in front of them-
The tall man named Akira Hirota, holding a can of beer in his hand, his eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and his expression was very hideous, lying against the wall opposite the doorβ
"He's dead!"
Coming to the room, Gao Yuan tentatively touched his pulse with a serious expression and said so.
"What does it smell like, potassium cyanide?"
Hearing Takato's words, Mori Kogoro also walked to Hirota's corpse, took the beer can from his hand with a handkerchief, sniffed it and said, then thought for a moment, and couldn't help but come to a conclusion:
"I see. This guy couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience and committed suicide! β
"So, what about Miss Masami!"
Faced with such a situation, Mao Lilan asked urgently.
"Anyway, contact the police first!"
Mori Kogoro said.
At this time, Conan looked at Hirota's right hand, and saw that the watch with the transmitter was indeed on his hand - sure enough, this person snatched Miss Masami's watch.
"Empty aluminum box?"
While thinking about it, Conan suddenly heard Gao Yuan behind him, facing the empty aluminum alloy box that was piled aside and opened, muttering to himself in a puzzled tone.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Conan seemed to connect all the clues he hadβ
It's obviously the same person, but there are two clients with different statements.
There is also the strange behavior of Kenzo Hirota who drives the same route every day after work.
Plus these boxes......
Maybe......
"What? Is Mr. Hirota single? β
At this time, Mori Kogoro, who was calling Officer Twilight, suddenly blurted out because he heard a surprising clue, "He doesn't have a daughter at all...... Still a native of Tokyo! How can it be! β
Hearing this, Conan smiled knowingly - I have already linked these two murders!
"Mr. Wise, I know what's going on!"
Thinking of this, Conan walked to Gao Yuan's side, pulled the corner of his clothes, and said in a low and serious voice.
"As luck comes, I know pretty much that."
And looking at Conan's expression at the moment, Gao Yuan also whispered, and said lightly, "They should be, the robbers of the billion-yen cash truck robbery!" β
As he spoke, Takato took Conan to the side, and the two began to communicate about the incident-
Masami Hirota, Kenzo Hirota, and Akira Hirota, the three of them were the robbers of the billion-yen robbery, but Kenzo Hirota escaped alone with the money afterwards, so Masami Hirota and Akira Hirota commissioned detectives separately and began to find Kenzo Hirota's whereabouts.
After finally finding Kenzo Hirota, Hirota Akira killed him, and Hirota Masami and Hirota Akira took the money in this hotel to prepare to share the spoils, but they didn't expect Hirota Akira to be killed by Hirota Masami, and all the money was taken away by Hirota Masami.
In this way, Takato told Conan his thoughts, and Conan added:
"It's more than that. Kenzo Hirota used to work for a taxi company, and every day after work, he would drive on the same section of the road at a gallop, which was supposed to be a practice for running away after a robbery! β
In this regard, Gao Yuan nodded - very good, enough time to delay!
