23 Gifts of unknown origin

"Hey, Mr. Wise, are you free today?"

When Takato picked up the phone, Ayako Ninagawa's voice came from the phone.

"Available. What's the matter? ”

Slightly surprised, Gao Yuan replied.

"That's right, there is a doctor in our hospital who has been in trouble lately, so I want to ask a detective to investigate, so I thought of you, Mr. Wise."

Hearing Takato say this, Ayako Ninagawa explained the reason for the call, and then seemed to think of something, adding:

"Of course, this is a paid detective commission, not the wayward request I had before."

"That's right."

In this regard, Gao Yuan happily accepted, "I have time to accept this commission." But what are the specifics, can you tell me about them? ”

There is really no reason to refuse a paid commission for me now.

"Well...... I can't tell for a while. ”

"However, I can make an appointment with the doctor and ask him to talk to you in person." ”

"Yes, then contact me at a certain time."

After Takato finished speaking, Ayako Ninagawa answered and hung up the phone.

So, in the afternoon, at the request of Ayako Ninagawa, Takato came to Rice Flower General Hospital and met the doctor who wanted to entrust a detective to investigate.

"Hello, my name is Akechi Takato, and I was called by Miss Ninagawa."

As agreed, Gao Yuan came to an office in the hospital, knocked on the open door and said.

It's a single office, and there's only one doctor in it, a middle-aged man, dressed in an old-fashioned but neat suit, with a white lab coat resting on the back of a chair.

"Hello, you're a wise detective, right?"

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, the man couldn't help but get up immediately and stepped forward to greet him, looking a little anxious.

"Please help me! I heard Miss Ninagawa say that you are a very good detective, and I think you will be able to solve my problems! ”

"Well, Dr. Ogawa, please calm down."

In the face of such an anxious attitude of the other party, after seeing the doctor's name on the door number, he called the other party by his surname and comforted.

"What's the trouble, you can talk slowly."

So, Dr. Ogawa's mood eased slightly, closed the door of the office, invited Gao Yuan to sit on the reception chair next to him, and he also sat next to Gao Yuan, and began to explain what happened to him.

"Wise Detective, that's right."

Lowering his head slightly, Dr. Ogawa said with some apprehension:

"Since about two years ago, people have been sending me toys and money every month. But the sender's address and name were fabricated, so I was worried about what the other party might do. ”

"Send toys and money?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but pause, and then asked, "Then may I ask, do you have any children yourself?" ”

"Yes, I have a five-year-old son, Yuta."

Dr. Ogawa said.

In this regard, Gao Yuan was convinced that he had encountered the case in the original work.

"I've asked my friends and family, and they all said they didn't send me anything."

In a worried tone, Dr. Ogawa continued:

"If it's just a monthly toy for my kids, I'm happy to take them. But I still send 1 million yen every month, and I have accumulated a huge amount of 25 million so far, but I don't even know who sent it, so how can I accept this kind of money from unknown sources! ”

"Maybe it's a former patient of yours."

Naturally, Takato said.

"It's a possibility."

Somewhat disappointed, Dr. Ogawa said, "So I've asked patients who might be doing this, but they're neither." ”

As he spoke, Dr. Ogawa took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Gao Yuan, and explained:

"And I only received this letter today. Toys and money are usually sent in large packages, but this time it was only this envelope, and there was only money and a letter inside...... Because of this letter, I was very uneasy, so I wanted to quickly find a detective to investigate, but Miss Ninagawa found out about it, so she introduced me to the wise detective you......"

While listening to Dr. Xiaochuan, Gao Yuan took the envelope, opened it, and saw the contents inside-

"Twenty-five million yen has been paid, and the exchange will begin now."

In this regard, Gao Yuan actually already knew what was going on, but out of caution, and he had encountered the original case before, and the actual situation did not match what he knew, so in order to further confirm, Gao Yuan asked:

"By the way, what about the toys that were delivered?"

"Oh, just put it there."

As he spoke, Dr. Ogawa guided Takato to a corner of the office, where there were a bunch of wrapped toys, but they were not very well preserved, and there were many damages on the outer packaging.

"These toys were already defective or damaged when they arrived."

Seeing that Takato seemed to be confirming the newness of the toy, Dr. Ogawa explained.

Gao Yuan just nodded in response, and continued to rummage through the pile of toys until he found a handheld video game console, as well as a game cartridge called "Sword Adventure" that was suitable for this game console, and then plugged the cartridge in, started the game console, and began to confirm the save name of this game-

"O GI NO, TO MO YA", according to this kana spelling, the kanji should be "Tomoya Ogino".

This is the name given by the people who play this game to the save they play. This is still a personal name, and it should be the name of the person who played this himself, which is the name of the original owner of this console.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief - so far, all the clues are exactly the same as in the original work, but it still can't be taken lightly.

"By the way, Mr. Ogawa, can you show me the cases of all the patients you have treated?"

Gao Yuan put the toy away, got up and asked.

"Can be ......"

Dr. Ogawa said, but he didn't quite understand what Takato meant, after all, the young detective hadn't said much since just now, and he didn't know what he had discovered.

So, Dr. Ogawa took Takato to the archives.

"Ahh Dr. Ogawa! ”

On the way, a nurse saw Dr. Ogawa, stopped him, handed a pot of packaged morning glory to Dr. Ogawa, and said:

"We just received this pot of flowers for you."

"Sure enough, this year is no exception......"

Taking the flower pot, Dr. Xiaochuan couldn't help but say, then looked at Gao Yuan and explained:

"It's the same person who gave money and toys. It was also sent to the hospital two years ago, but the difference is that it is only sent once a year, and it is fixed on today's day. ”

However, Gao Yuan is not interested in this - after all, what happened so far is exactly the same as what happened in the original work, and he now needs to determine whether the name and the date of today will also correspond, and confirm that this time there is no difference between the development of the original work.

So, soon, when he came to the archives, Dr. Ogawa turned out the medical records of the patients he treated, and Takato directly found the medical records of three years ago and turned out the medical records named "Ogino Tomoya" - because the hospital was not sent in time, three years ago today, the child who died of appendicitis died.

At this point, Gao Yuan was sure that there was no difference between this and the details of the original case, but because of the lessons of the previous case, he still couldn't pack the ticket until the end.

So after glancing at the time, Gao Yuan hurriedly said:

"Dr. Ogawa, when is your child out of school?"
