Mouri Kogoro said with a headache: "That's a bit troublesome. It's not easy to find him based on just one name."
"I think this person shouldn't be difficult to find."
Suzuki Seimei suddenly spoke up, pointed at the photo and said: "Since this person is holding the winning trophy, it means that he should have been the champion of the kendo competition at that time.
If this person has not given up on kendo over the years, then I think he should be somewhat famous in the kendo world."
"yes!"
Mao Lilan's eyes suddenly lit up, she smiled and touched his little head: "Qingming, you are so smart~"
Just like Kyogoku Makoto, he may not be very well-known throughout the island country, but in the karate industry, he is known to everyone.
"I want you, a brat, to talk too much. I've already thought of such a simple thing."
Mouri Kogoro curled his lips in displeasure at being stolen from the limelight by Suzuki Seimei, a brat.
However, he still followed Suzuki Seimei's method and asked someone for information about Shibata Shiro.
"It's true! You said that Mr. Shibata Shiro once participated in the social group competition of the Shizuoka Kendo Competition...Yes, yes...Okay, his address is..."
Mouri Kogoro had a wide network of contacts, and it only took him less than half an hour to find out the news about Shibata Shiro from his friends.
After Maori Kogoro hung up the phone, Mao Lilan couldn't help but ask: "Dad, do you think you have found it?"
"Yeah! Found it."
Mouri Kogoro smiled and nodded: "Mr. Shibata is currently working as a physical education teacher at Shizuoka High School. He and his wife currently live in a rented apartment together."
"It's really great."
"Okay, I'm going to rent a car now, and we'll go together."
Ever since Conan moved into the Mori Detective Agency, Kogoro Mori's salary has also skyrocketed.
With the savings in Mouri Kogoro's hands, it is easy to buy a car.
However, due to the special nature of the detective profession, Mouri Kogoro still prefers to rent a car when working.
For example, when Mouri Kogoro is commissioned to catch an affair, if he follows the target in the same car for several days, the target will easily find out that he is being followed.
Moreover, the cars driven by Mouri Kogoro often had various accidents and were even blown into pieces by bombs.
If Kogoro Mouri didn't rent a car, he would probably go bankrupt soon due to frequent replacement of cars.
Therefore, it’s not that Kogoro Mori doesn’t want to buy a car, but the reality doesn’t allow it!
Originally, according to Mouri Kogoro's plan, he was planning to let Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai go home first.
However, when Suzuki Seimei saw that a case was about to happen, there was no reason to miss it.
So Suzuki Seimei simply asked Inoue Ryuichi to drive behind Mouri Kogoro and the others.
Because Suzuki Seimei had no intention of hiding his traces, he naturally couldn't hide it from Mouri Kogoro and the others.
"What a curious kid!"
Mouri Kogoro looked through the rearview mirror and saw the nanny car following behind him. He didn't say much and sighed secretly in his heart.
Compared to Conan, a curious baby, Suzuki Seimei's curiosity is already relatively mild, so Mouri Kogoro has long been used to it.
There is still some distance between the rental apartment where Shibata Shiro lives and the Mori Detective Agency.
When Suzuki Seimei and the others arrived, it was already around seven o'clock in the evening.
"It should be right here."
According to the address he had investigated in advance, Mouri Kogoro took Suzuki Seimei and the others to a rental apartment. He looked at the names of the couple "Shibata Shiro and Shibata Kyoko" written on the door sign, and then rang the doorbell.
"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong..."
Mouri Kogoro rang the doorbell several times, but no one responded. He couldn't help but said helplessly: "They don't seem to be at home."
Mao Liland said: "Dad, I think the couple must have gone out to play. Today is Sunday, otherwise we should come over later."
"In that case, let's go have dinner first."
In the middle of his words, Mouri Kogoro asked with an attentive look: "Miss Jinghua, I wonder what kind of food you like to eat?"
"I prefer..."
"Who are you guys?"
Before Shizuka Hattori finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle suddenly walked over from the corner of the corridor and asked curiously: "Do you guys have anything to do with Mr. Shibata?"
"Yes, we are indeed here to see Mr. Shibata Shiro. Who are you?" Mouri Kogoro said.
"My name is Yoshikawa Takezo, I am Shibata Shiro's friend and his neighbor."
The middle-aged man introduced himself first, and then said to everyone: "If you have anything to do with Shibata, you should talk to Shibata quickly. He will come to our house to play mahjong later!"
???
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, and subconsciously replied: "But Mr. Shibata doesn't seem to be at home?"
"Not at home? Impossible. We have already made an appointment. I think he must be asleep."
As Yoshikawa Takezo said, he walked directly to the door of Shibata's house and tried to twist the door handle.
"Click!"
With a soft sound, the door was opened directly by Yoshikawa Takezo, and the light in the room also spilled out.
"Look, I said Shibata must be at home!"
After Yoshikawa Takezo opened the door, he walked into the room first and shouted: "Shibata, are you sleeping in again? Get up quickly! Now three are missing, and you are the only one missing."
"What I'm reporting to you now is..."
After Suzuki Seimei and the others followed Yoshikawa Takezo into the hall, they discovered that not only did the family carelessly not close the door, but they also didn't even turn off the TV in the living room.
On the dining table in the living room, there are still several plates of cold dishes, and next to them is a piece of today's morning newspaper.
"ah!!!"
Just as everyone was looking at the decorations in the living room with some curiosity, Yoshikawa Takezo's screams suddenly came from the study.
"what happened?"
When Conan and Mouri Kogoro heard this, they rushed over immediately.
I saw Takezo Yoshikawa sitting on the ground with a pale face, and next to him was a corpse covered in blood.
"That is……"
Conan glanced around the body, and then his eyes fell on the photo he held in his right hand. Curiously, he took out his handkerchief and took the photo out of the deceased's hand.
