Chapter Twenty-Three: A Gift of the Month

Time flies, and it's a new week in the blink of an eye!

Kiyotaka Narumi looked at the balance on the passbook and thought about when he would be able to buy a car. Every time I take a taxi to meet a customer, it is inevitable that there will be some price drops! The first-hand one is too expensive, so you can buy the second-hand one first. It would be nice if the system treasure chest could directly drive one, such as a bumblebee or something.

Suddenly the doorbell rang, Narumi Kiyotaka didn't move, and Conan ran directly to open the door. Don't get me wrong, it's not that Conan really regards himself as an assistant and how diligent he has become, it's just that since Valentine's Day, Conan and Xiaolan have become a lot closer, and even the two offices have begun to communicate frequently.

As Narumi Kiyotaka became more and more famous, he received more and more commissions, both large and small. Requests such as looking for cats and dogs can be handed over to the juvenile detective group to deal with, in addition, there are many commissions such as tracking, secretly filming, and tracking down extramarital affairs, Narumi Kiyotaka is too lazy to deal with it, and he used to refuse directly, but now he has subcontracted to Maori Kogoro.

Although Mori Kogoro doesn't like these commissions in his mouth, he is physically honest. Xiaolan saw it in her eyes, and in order to thank her, she would bring some gifts to visit from time to time.

Conan opened the door, only to see a bunch of boxes falling, and caught off guard, Conan hurriedly retreated, only to accidentally fall to the ground.

"I'm sorry, kid, are you alright?" A middle-aged man reached out and pulled Conan up.

"It's fine." Conan was slightly disappointed to find that it was not Xiaolan, but he still politely led the man to the living room and sat down.

"My surname is Xiaochuan, and I want to ask Detective Narumi to help me investigate!" Mr. Ogawa got straight to the point: "Since about two years ago, people have been sending me toys and money every month, but the sender's name and address are fake, and I am worried about what the other party has for any purpose. ”

Narumi Kiyotaka looked at the box on the table, which was full of some children's toys, "Do you have children at home?" ”

Mr. Ogawa nodded and said, "I have a son, Yuta, who is five years old this year. ”

Narumi Qinglong said: "You said that the other party also sent money, how much?" ”

Mr. Ogawa said, "One million a month, and so far this month, there are 25 million in total. ”

When Conan heard this, he was immediately surprised, and Narumi Kiyotaka was thoughtful.

Mr. Ogawa continued, "Yuta receives toys every month, so I'm happy. But I always felt that the money was wrong, and I never used it. ”

Conan asked, "Could it be your patient?" ”

Mr. Ogawa was stunned, and Conan said to himself, "Uncle should be a surgeon!" ”

Ogawa nodded, "Yes." ”

Conan continued, "If it's a patient that my uncle has treated, it's not surprising that even if it's a gift secretly to show his gratitude. ”

Mr. Ogawa said, "I thought so too, so I asked patients who might be doing this, but none of them were ...... Wait, did I mention I'm a surgeon? How do you know? ”

Narumi Kiyotaka coughed, signaled Conan to keep a low profile, and then helped explain: "This little ghost has been watching a medical drama recently, he should have seen a slanted mark on your index finger." When a surgeon performs surgery, he or she usually uses two index fingers to fix thin threads and then tie them in knots, leaving such marks on the tip of the index finger. ”

Mr. Ogawa said, "I see, I did have surgery this morning. is really worthy of being a detective, not only is he powerful, but even a child can teach so well. ”

Conan was speechless for a moment, this was all his own observation, although the basis is similar, but it has something to do with this product? It's been a long time since he was in the limelight, Conan was itching, and secretly swore that this time he must solve the case before this one and prove that he is better than him!

Mr. Ogawa took out an envelope and handed it to Narumi Kiyotaka, "Please take a look at this, I received it this morning." ”

Narumi Kiyotaka opened the envelope and looked at it, only to see a thick pile of money inside.

Mr. Ogawa said, "I usually send toys and money in a larger package, but today there is only one envelope, and I think something is wrong." ”

In addition to the money, there was also a letter in the envelope, and Narumi Kiyotaka took out the letter, only to see that it was written: "Twenty-five million has been given to you in full, and in exchange, I will take something equivalent to it." ”

Staring at this letter, Narumi Kiyotaka fell into deep thought, and Mr. Ogawa couldn't help but ask, "Detective Narumi, can you see what this letter means?" ”

Narumi Kiyotaka said: "It's just a guess for the time being, Mr. Ogawa, where is your son now?" ”

Mr. Ogawa said, "At this time, he should still be in kindergarten. What does this have to do with Yuta? ”

Narumi Kiyotaka pointed to the gift box on the table, "These children's toys are obviously for Yuta, look closely, there are no barcodes on the packaging box, obviously they are all from a few years ago, and there are still many scratches on the toys, they should have been played with a long time ago." If my guess is correct, these toys originally belonged to another child, and the other person liked them very much and played with them a lot. Mr. Ogawa, would you give all of your son's favorite toys to other children for no reason? ”

Mr. Ogawa shook his head, "No, if I really give it away, Yuta will definitely cry non-stop." ”

"But the other party sent it!" Narumi Kiyotaka said meaningfully: "Being able to buy so many toys for the child shows that the other party must like the child very much, how can you not care about the child's feelings?" Either you suddenly find out that the child is not your own, but there is no need to give the toy to someone else. Either this kid is no longer there, and it's related to Yuta, or maybe it's related to you! ”

Hearing the last sentence, Mr. Ogawa suddenly felt cold!

Narumi Kiyotaka then asked, "Two years ago, did any of the patients you treated unfortunately pass away?" ”

Mr. Ogawa didn't answer, as if he had thought of something bad, and his body trembled!

Narumi Qinglong said: "It seems that there is, the other party wants to exchange 25 million for one of your things, to be precise, it is actually 25 million plus these toys, so the things to be exchanged are obvious." ”

Mr. Ogawa said in a trembling voice, "It's Yuta! ”

Narumi Kiyotaka said, "It's just my speculation at the moment, but just in case, I suggest that you'd better pick up Yuta immediately." ”

"I'm going to pick him up!" Although there is not enough evidence, Mr. Ogawa is convinced.

The three of them drove directly to the kindergarten, because they came relatively early, and the kindergarten had not yet finished school. Except for them and Mr. Ogawa, I didn't see any other parents for the time being.

Mr. Ogawa found Yuta and was relieved to see that Yuta was safe and sound.

Narumi Kiyotaka said: "Although Yuta is fine for the time being, if the other party really targets him, he will definitely not give up easily." ”

When Mr. Ogawa heard this, he immediately became nervous again, "What can Detective Narumi do?" ”

Narumi Kiyotaka said: "The other party hasn't really done it yet, even if he finds him, he can directly deny it, even if he calls the police, it's useless, unless Yuta is caught by him first." ”

"No, it's too dangerous!" Mr. Ogawa hurriedly refused.

"Don't worry, you won't let Yuta take risks, just borrow his clothes and use them!" Narumi Kiyotaka said with a smile, and Conan on the side suddenly had a bad premonition!
