After Chi Feichi read out the place name "Suzuki Tower" to Koshizu Nanatsuki, he took off the code card, handed it to Koshizu Nanatsuki, and closed the atlas himself.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki returned the card to Kitasaka Kaori, "Ms. Kaori, I think Mr. Chi's interpretation is correct. The place where your Mystery Club alumnus held his wedding party is the Suzuki Tower."
"Thank you both for your help," Kitasaka Kaori thanked her happily and asked proactively, "Excuse me, how much should I pay?"
"This..." Yuesui Nanatsuki looked at Chi Feichi hesitantly.
"This is your commission, you decide." Chi Feichi put the atlas into the box and returned it to the bookshelf.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki was very fond of Kitasaka Kaori's kind attitude. Thinking about it, charging too much for such a commission that was solved in a few and two or two seemed unkind. It would be better to charge a few hundred or a thousand as a favor. He smiled at Kitasaka Kaori and said,
"Since solving the puzzle doesn't consume any materials and doesn't waste much of our time, there's no need to pay the reward."
"Ah?" Kitasaka Kaori was a little surprised, "W-how is this so embarrassing..."
"It's really not necessary," Nanatsuki Koshizui said firmly, letting Kitasaka Kaori know that she was not pretending to be polite. When she got to the coffee table, she leaned over and crossed out the remuneration column on the power of attorney and the copy with a pen, smiling.
Then she handed the copy to Kitasaka Kaori and said, "Come back if you need it in the future!"
"In this case, I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders," Kitasaka Kaori followed to the coffee table, smiled gratefully at Koshizui Nanatsuki, took the copy that Koshimizu Nanatsuki handed to her, and folded it twice.
Putting it in his coat pocket, "Thank you both very much for your help!"
"You don't have to be so polite," Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the clock on the wall, "By the way, do you want to rest here for a while before leaving? It's one-thirty in the afternoon, and there are still two and a half hours until four in the afternoon. From here
It only takes about half an hour to get to Suzuki Tower by train, and you can stay until three in the afternoon before setting off, so you can get to the scene in time."
"No, it doesn't matter if it's earlier. I want to go there in advance." Kitasaka Kaori put the code card into an envelope and put it into her coat pocket. She reached for her bag on the sofa and said to Koshimizu
Nanatsuki smiled and said, "If I get there and the wedding party hasn't started yet, I'll just walk around the area currently open to Suzuki Tower. I haven't seen it there yet..."
When Kitasaka Kaori took the bag, the bottom edge of the bag hit the armrest of the sofa, and a dull sound came from inside the bag.
Conan looked at the bag in Kaori Kitasaka's hand with some confusion.
Is there anything heavy in the bag?
Is it an electronic product like a tablet? It doesn't sound like it.
Is it an iron box for gifts? A brick? It doesn't seem to be the case.
Strange, this sound is so special, it should not be a common daily necessities...
Kitasaka Kaori held the bag in her hand, looked at Conan who was standing next to the sofa, and said with a smile, "And didn't the kids come to you to play at a friend's house? You go, I won't waste your time.
!”
"In this case, I won't keep you," Koshimizu Nanatsuki said as he walked Kitasaka Kaori to the door, "Let's go slowly."
"thank you!"
Kitasaka Kaori turned around and bowed to Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and then walked out of the courtyard along the stone road.
"Okay, let's entrust it to be solved," Koshizui Nanatsuki smiled at Chi Feichi who came to his side. "Although we didn't get the entrustment fee, we didn't delay too long. Now we can go to the doctor's house with Conan.
Yes! Wait a minute. I will put the phone number plate at the door. If there is another client who comes to the door today, you can ask the client to call me! "
Chi Feichi looked at the back of Kitasaka Kaori walking to the entrance of the hospital. He thought that if something happened to Kitasaka Kaori, he and Koshimi Nanatsuki would definitely have to cooperate with the police investigation, so he decided to solve the matter completely like the original plot, and went out
He said, "Miss Kitasaka accidentally hit the armrest of the sofa with her bag just now, and there was a strange muffled sound coming from the bag."
"Muffled sound?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki recalled, "Actually, I also heard it. It should be the sound made by heavy objects being hit..."
"Does it look like a pistol?" Chi Feichi gave a more direct hint.
He remembered that in the original plot, Kitasaka Kaori went to the Mori Detective Agency to entrust Teacher Mori to decipher the code. When leaving, her bag accidentally hit the coffee table, causing a muffled sound.
Just now, Kitasaka Kaori's bag hit the armrest of the sofa. Because there is sponge cushioning under the leather of the armrest, the muffled sound made by the armrest of the sofa during the impact was not loud. The muffled sound was more caused by the contents of the bag.
, and also accompanied by the lingering sound after some heavy metal objects were hit.
This kind of sound is special and rare. If no one reminds them, Yueshui and Conan may not think of the pistol for a moment, but as long as someone mentions the pistol...
"Okay, it seems so," Koshimizu Nanatsuki recalled the voice and frowned, "But how could Miss Kaori bring that kind of thing? What if it was something else, such as a heavy box or something...
"
"No matter what, let's follow up and take a look first!"
Conan said solemnly and ran out, not giving Koshimi Nanatsuki any time to react.
"Let Conan follow you first, let's go drive." Chi Feichi reached out and closed the glass door of the studio. When he turned and passed by the sofa, he picked up the power of attorney on the coffee table and left the studio through the other door to the entrance.
After changing my shoes, I took the power of attorney and went out to drive.
Conan ran out of the yard quickly, saw Kaori Kitasaka walking towards the street, and followed Kaori Kitasaka quietly.
Kitasaka Kaori walked to the corner of the street and stopped a taxi, got in the car and left.
As soon as the taxi drove away, a red Lexus SC drove up next to Conan.
When Conan saw the car stop, he opened the back seat door and got in the car.
After Conan closed the door, Chi Feichi immediately drove and followed the taxi in front of him.
Koshizui Nanatsuki sighed in his heart at the tacit cooperation between the two. He looked down at the power of attorney that Chi Feichi handed him when he got in the car, "Miss Kaori put the copy of the power of attorney and the invitation letter into her coat pocket.
Although some people are used to putting things into their pockets casually, she may do this because the bag contains things that cannot be seen by others, so she is unwilling to open the bag and put other things into the bag.
That strange banging and muffled sound, we really need to take a look."
"Has Ms. Kaori behaved differently before?" Conan leaned towards the front seat without sitting in the back seat. "Or did she show anger or frustration when she mentioned something?"
"Ms. Kaori just arrived a little earlier than you. I asked her about the entrustment and filled out the entrustment form with her, and then you arrived," Koshimizu Nanatsuki recalled the process of contacting Kitasaka Kaori, "Then you also see
When we arrived, Mr. Chi quickly unlocked the code and she left. We did not talk about personal topics, and she did not show any anger or frustration during the conversation."
Conan also tried to remember, "We have only been in contact with Miss Kaori for a short time, and there are still too few clues..."
"Would you like to call her home and ask?" Chi Feichi did not give the two of them time to think and continued to accelerate the development of the matter. "When Miss Kitasaka filled out the power of attorney, she said that she lives with her parents. All we need to do is call.
Go to her house..."
"You can ask her parents about her recent situation and see if she has encountered any trouble or suffered any grievances!"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki reacted, immediately took out his mobile phone, and dialed the home phone number written on the power of attorney.
"The number you dialed is unavailable, please check and dial again..."
Conan leaned forward in the front seat and heard the notification tone on Koshizui Nanatsuki's cell phone. He frowned and said, "No one should remember their home phone number wrongly, right? She must have left a wrong number on purpose!"
Koshizui Nanatsuki hung up the phone and thought back, "In this case, after she wrote her mobile phone number on the power of attorney, she confirmed with me whether she also needed to fill in her home number, and I told her to write it in if it was convenient.
, when she filled in the last digit of her home phone number, she hesitated with a look of embarrassment before writing the number. I thought, could only the last digit be wrong? "
"If that's the case, things will be simple! In short, let's change the last digit of the phone number and try calling them one by one!" Conan took out his mobile phone, entered it against the phone number on the power of attorney, and entered the last digit.
The number was replaced with 0, and the number was dialed, "Start from '0'..."
The phone rang twice and was answered by a middle-aged woman, "Hello, this is the Kitasaka family..."
Conan didn't expect that he dialed the right number on the first try. He was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had not thought of an excuse, and looked at Koshimi Nanatsuki for help.
Koshizui Nanatsuki was also stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he decisively left the matter to Conan and urged in a low voice, "Say whatever you want, hurry up."
Conan: "..."
Hey, Nanatsuki-san and Kaori-san are both young women. Nanatsuki-san answers the phone and says that she is Kaori-san's friend. Isn't it easier to fool her?
What can a child say...
The middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone noticed that there was no response and asked in confusion, "Who is it?"
"Um..." Conan went into battle bravely. Thinking that he might not be able to handle it, he pushed the matter to Koshimizu Nanatsuki and turned on the speaker phone, "Hello, aunt, I am Edogawa Conan."
The middle-aged woman was even more confused, "Edogawa Conan?"
"Huh? Conan?"
A young female voice came from the other end of the phone, making Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Conan stunned.
This voice sounds familiar. Is it someone they know?
There was a conversation between a young female voice and a middle-aged female voice on the phone.
"Sorry, can you let me listen to the phone?"
"Ah, okay..."
"Hello, Conan?" the young female voice said, "I'm Sato from the Metropolitan Police Department."
"Officer Sato?" Conan then recognized Miwako Sato's voice and asked in surprise, "Why are you at the Kitasaka family? Did something happen to the Kitasaka family?"
