Sharon Wynyard's name appeared here, which surprised Qin Zhibo.
The black organization secretly recruits technical talents in computer software. Qin Zhibo knew this from the previous Tequila incident at the Mantiantian Exhibition.
The Night Baron virus that appeared at the Cocoon game conference was also secretly investigated by the black organization.
Itakura Taku collaborated with Belmode in his early years.
Could this whole thing really be related to the black organization?
Qin Zhibo temporarily put away his thoughts and looked to the side of the web page.
Next to Taku Itakura's information, there is a photo of Taku Itakura sitting upright in an armchair.
This is a thin man with an oval face, a pointed nose, a middle-parted head, and a serious face.
Qin Zhibo silently recorded Itakura Taku's appearance in his mind.
At dusk.
According to the address provided by Sawada Hiroki, Qin Zhibo came to Rice Flower Hotel.
Since Taku Itakura may be related to the black organization, Qin Zhibo put on a simple disguise and changed into a beige windbreaker, beret and sunglasses.
This outfit is very different from the one I usually wear.
This is the advantage of the detective labeling his usual clothes. As long as he changes his clothes slightly, he can easily achieve the effect of disguise.
Standing at the entrance of the hotel, Qin Zhibo put on the magic extractor and used the finding spell.
A glimmer of inspiration emerged in my mind, pointing to the towering building of the Rice Flower Hotel.
It is known that three days have passed since the Cocoon press conference, and the information provided by Hiroki Sawada is the address where Taku Itakura was found one day ago.
Therefore, Itakura Taku stayed in this hotel for at least four days.
Qin Zhibo was about to walk into the hotel when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind.
"It turns out that guy is hiding in this place! It's really unexpected."
"But you three are competitors, right? Why did you find me together?"
Qin Zhibo glanced slightly behind him and found that Kogoro Mori was leading three men over.
Behind the three men, there was Mao Lilan holding Conan.
Why are they?
Qin Zhibo was shocked and decided not to rush forward to recognize him.
He walked into the hotel lobby normally, then took a wrong path, sat on the waiting sofa next to him, and picked up a newspaper.
As soon as Qin Zhibo set up his poss, Mouri Kogoro and his entourage walked into the hotel.
The three new faces brought by Mouri Kogoro didn't talk to each other. After a few words, they started arguing about whose watch was a fake and whose watch wasn't high-quality enough.
Qin Zhibo glanced at the information above the heads of the three people. They were all members of the game development company.
Member of a game development company?
three people?
Aware of this sensitive configuration, Qin Zhibo's eyes widened slightly.
No way, no way
At this critical moment, Qin Zhibo decided not to hold back anymore, stood up and walked towards the professional team.
Mouri Kogoro, who was having a headache because of the quarrel between his three clients, saw a tall figure walking towards him, and felt a little strange.
"Who are you."
When the man took off his sunglasses and hat, Mouri Kogoro recognized him.
"Qin Zhibo? Why is it you?"
Kogoro Mouri was very surprised that Qin Zhibo, who rarely changed the color of his trench coat, changed the color.
Mao Lilan from behind also stepped forward in surprise, "Mr. Qin, you look very handsome in this outfit! You look much younger!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
Qin Zhibo responded to Mao Lilan's praise, turned to Maori Kogoro and asked: "With so many of you coming to the hotel, aren't you here to book a room?"
"Open? Of course not"
Before Mouri Kogoro could weigh in his mind whether he should tell his colleagues about the contents of the commission, Maori Lan directly revealed: "Dad and the three clients are here to find a game software engineer."
Game software engineer?
Isn't this
"Are you looking for Itakura Taku?"
Mouri Kogoro looked startled, "Is it you too?"
"Yes." Qin Zhibo nodded and said casually: "I was also entrusted by a certain client, who said that as long as I help find the address of Itakura Zhuo, I will be grateful after the job is completed."
Qin Zhibo's statement was relatively vague. Once the police investigated, he could easily fool him.
But the speaker has no intention, but the listener does.
As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, the short Conan reminded him: "Uncle Maori, didn't you say before that a tall man in black with a Kansai accent and a beard had approached Mr. Itakura?"
"Could it be Uncle Qin who was entrusted by that man?"
"And maybe Uncle Qin still remembers him. He also appeared at the game launch conference in Mantiantian."
Conan said these words with innocence on his face, but he was actually in a stage of doubt in his heart.
It is suspected that this matter is related to the black organization.
When I accepted a commission from three people in the office just now, one of them revealed that a tall man in black with a beard and a Kansai accent once said something to Taku Itakura in a threatening tone.
"You are no longer of use"
Moreover, the client also confessed that this man had also appeared at a game conference in Mantiantian.
Conan has a good memory, especially after taking gin and a sap, he was particularly impressed by the person who was covered in darkness.
At the Mantiantian press conference, Conan once bumped into this man in black at the door of the toilet.
At that time, Conan had some subconscious suspicions about the man in black, but could find no evidence to prove that he was related to the organization.
Later, before the explosion happened, the man in black disappeared.
Originally, Conan had somewhat forgotten about this fleeting man in black, but today's commission brought back his dead memories.
The sentence "You are no longer of use", the more I listen to it, the more it sounds like the tone of a member of a black organization.
Moreover, there are also some unsolved mysteries in the aftermath of the Mantian bombing.
First of all, the cocktail bar on the top floor of the nearby Daikoku Building exploded at almost the same time. Who bombed it?
Also, Takeshita, the murderer of the bombing, gave the briefcase containing the bomb to the deceased by exchanging the number plate on the briefcase.
The murderer Takeshita took the deceased's briefcase, which contained a list of top computer programmers listed as company secrets.
In other words, the person who really stole the company's secrets was the deceased.
The purpose of stealing company secrets is usually to exchange them for money, and the method of placing them in a briefcase for transactions reminds Conan of his first encounter with gin and vodka.
Obviously, the deceased's transaction method with someone was also a briefcase, using the briefcase number plate collection mechanism at the front desk.
However, until the end of the press conference, the transaction target did not carry out the transaction, and the list naturally found its way to the murderer.
This reminded Conan again of the tall man in black who disappeared midway through the press conference.
Could it be that the man in black discovered that the deceased's number plate had been changed by a colleague midway, so he aborted the transaction?
This is very possible.
Coupled with the tone of threatening Itakura Taku, he really doesn't look like a good person.
All kinds of events were connected, making Conan think that the identity of the man in black might be unusual.
Adhering to the principle of not missing any clues, Conan guided Mouri Kogoro to call major hotels in Tokyo, and then determined the address of Taku Itakura.
Then, using the excuse that they were worried about Mori Kogoro eating alone, they followed him to find someone.
Now, when he heard Qin Zhibo say that someone had entrusted him to find Itakura Taku, Conan naturally thought of the man in black.
At the same time, Qin Zhibo was also brainstorming.
Of course Qin Zhibo knew the man in black that Conan was talking about.
The man in black with the Kansai accent was named Hirota Yukio. Qin Zhibo only knew his name but not his code name in the organization.
Since Guangtian Xingsheng left the press conference midway, Qin Zhibo has never seen him again.
Conan suspects that this person entrusted him?
Qin Zhibo shook his head, smiled and touched Conan's head, "My client doesn't have a Kansai accent~"
This answer made Conan a little disappointed. He originally thought he could follow the clues.
At this time, the three clients on the side could not calm down and asked quickly.
Fancy yellow-haired man: "Is the person who commissioned you also from the game company?"
Bald man: "Could it be that Mr. Itakura took over projects from four game companies? We stopped our project to develop it for the fourth company."
Liu Huan's handsome man: "That's really too much. I must talk to him properly when I find him later!"
While riding in the elevator, Mouri Kogoro told Qin Zhibo about his commission.
It turned out that these three clients were all members of a game development company, and each had a project in hand that was entrusted to Itakura Taku for development.
It's just that Taku Itakura suddenly sent an email a week ago, saying that he wanted to take a break and the three projects he was working on were temporarily put on hold.
So these three people gathered together and wanted to find Itakura Taku and ask him why he was traveling in three boats.
Among the three people, the man with yellow hair and fancy dress is called Subeklu, and his project is Go.
The bald man wears the same black-framed glasses as Conan, his name is Naito Sadei, and his project is chess.
The man with the same hairstyle as Liu Huan is called Souma Ryusuke, and his project is chess.
Listening to these extremely low-profile projects, Qin Zhibo felt a little helpless.
I have seen games of the level of "Cocoon", and now looking at other games, it is true that some of them have been difficult to overcome.
And for a board and card game that is so difficult to develop, do you still need to find outsourcers?
Are you really a game company?
After listening to Mouri Kogoro's introduction, Qin Zhibo also told about his entrustment.
"The other party entrusted me on the phone. I have never met him in person. He said that after finding the person, he could hand over the address with one hand and the money with the other."
“But it’s definitely not Kansai accent~”
Qin Zhibo's last words were to Conan.
"Um!"
Conan smiled and nodded, then turned around and started thinking seriously.
In fact, after calming down, Conan also felt that the people in the organization would not be stupid enough to hire a famous detective to help him find someone.
But if Itakura Taku was really threatened by the man in black, wouldn't there be any problem if we just go to him openly and openly?
If the people from the organization are hiding nearby, waiting for the opportunity to kill and silence them
Maybe they are in his room now.
Please, why am I so nervous?
I need to calm down. This is what the man in black said to Itakura Taku two years ago.
If they really wanted to kill him, they shouldn't have waited until today.
Moreover, if Taku Itakura is really an accomplice of the man in black, their meeting would not have been noticed by an outsider like Souma.
Thinking of this, Conan's expression changed from very gloomy to generally gloomy.
And this change was also seen by Qin Zhibo.
The child was frightened by the sight.
The elevator stopped on the 20th floor.
Room No. 2004 is Taku Itakura's room.
This is the result that Mouri Kogoro, after being prompted by Conan, asked the hotel front desk about borrowing chess, chess, and Go at the same time.
However, even if Mouri Kogoro does not appear, Qin Zhibo can still determine the location of Itakura Taku through the finding spell.
Several people walked out of the elevator and came to the door of Room 2004.
Mouri Kogoro reached out and pressed the doorbell, but no one responded.
There is also a do not disturb sign hanging on the door. Generally speaking, you don't want to be disturbed by the hotel cleaning staff.
"It's strange, there's obviously a brand on it," Mouri Kogoro said in confusion.
"Could it be that you went out to eat?"
"Then let's wait at the door of his room."
Everyone said their own things, but Qin Zhibo was silent.
He put on the magic extractor again, closed his eyes, and a picture of Taku Itakura appeared in his mind.
A glimmer of inspiration appeared, pointing right behind the door.
Qin Zhibo: "."
The god of death always knocks on the door and it doesn't answer, so it's probably useless.
Although Qin Zhibo felt that he could call the police, for the sake of safety, he still had to go in and confirm first.
Looking around, I found that the hotel waiter was opening the door for other guests who had forgotten their keys.
Qin Zhibo had an idea and pushed Conan encouragingly.
Conan, who was thinking with his chin raised, raised his head and glanced at Qin Zhibo, and immediately read some thoughts from Qin Zhibo's eyes.
You go, you go.
Conan: "."
Conan had no choice but to run to the waiter, say that he was a visitor to the room owner, and ask the waiter to open the door for him.
However, the waiter was not a fool and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"I'm afraid."
"Hurry up~ I'm going to pee soon!"
Under Conan's superb acting skills, the waiter still violated the rules and regulations and took out the master key and opened the room door.
As soon as the door opened, what came into view was Itakura Taku lying on the table with his head sideways.
"Oh, it seems that Mr. Itakura just fell asleep and didn't hear the ringing~"
While the yellow-haired Subek Lu was complaining, Qin Zhibo walked straight forward and pretended to take a breath.
"People have been dead for a long time."
Qin Zhibo's tone was not fierce, because he had guessed that this might be the result before he entered the room.
But these words were shocking to everyone in the room.
"What!"
"Mr. Itakura——"
"Oh my god! How could this happen!"
The three clients looked in disbelief and were about to go this way, but Kogoro Mouri stretched out his hand to stop them.
"This is a murder scene now. No one except me and Qin Zhibo are allowed to come near it!"
"Xiaolan, go call the police!"
"yes!"
Mao Lilan took the order and left, while Conan looked at the scene in shock.
Damn it!
Just a little bit!
At this moment, Conan glanced at the disk in the luggage bag next to him.
