Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 794 When Death Knocks at the Door
Qin Zhibo was a little surprised that Sharon Wynyard's name appeared here.

The black organization is secretly recruiting technical talents in computer software. Qin Zhibo knew about this before the Tequila incident at the Paradise Exhibition.

And the night baron virus that appeared at the cocoon game press conference was also secretly investigated by the black organization.

Itakura Zhuo had cooperated with Belmode in his early years.

Is this whole thing really about black groups?
Qin Zhibo temporarily put away his thoughts and looked to the side of the webpage.

Next to Itakura Taku's message, there is a straight photo of Itakura Taku sitting in an armchair.

This is a thin man with an oval face, a pointed nose, parted hair, and a serious face.

Qin Zhibo silently recorded Itakura Zhuo's appearance in his heart.

at dusk.

According to the address provided by Sawada Hiroki, Qin Zhibo came to Mihua Restaurant.

Since itakura Zhuo might be related to the black organization, Qin Zhibo made a simple disguise, changing into a beige windbreaker, beret and sunglasses.

This outfit is very different from the usual one.

This is the advantage of labeling the detective's usual clothes, as long as he changes his attire a little, he can easily achieve the effect of camouflage.

Standing at the gate of the hotel, Qin Zhibo put on the magic power extractor and used the object-finding spell.

A hint of inspiration emerged in my heart, pointing to the towering building of Mihua Hotel.

It is known that three days have passed since the cocoon press conference, and the information provided by Sawada Hiroki is the address where Takuo Itakura was discovered a day ago.

Therefore, Itakura Zhuo has stayed in this hotel for at least four days.

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to enter the restaurant, he suddenly heard a voice 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 Mori Kogoro was leading three men over.

And behind the three men, there is Mao Lilan who is holding Conan.

How are they?
Qin Zhibo was startled, and decided not to rush forward to recognize each other.

He walked into the lobby of the hotel normally, but took a wrong route, sat on the waiting sofa next to him, and picked up a newspaper.

As soon as Qin Zhibo set up the posses, Mori Kogoro and his party walked into the restaurant.

The three new faces brought by Mori Kogoro were not speculative, and they started arguing about whose watch was fake or whose watch was not high enough.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the information above the heads of the three, all of them were members of the game development company.

Member of a game development company?
three people?
Sensing this sensitive (ming) sense (an) configuration, Qin Zhibo's eyes widened slightly.

no, no
At this critical moment, Qin Zhibo decided not to hold back, stood up and walked towards the professional team.

Mori Kogoro, who was arguing about the three clients and had a headache, was a little surprised to see a tall and burly figure walking towards him.

"You are."

Kogoro Mori recognized the man as soon as he took off his sunglasses and hat.

"Qin Zhibo? Why are you?"

Mori Kogoro was very surprised that Qin Zhibo, who basically never changed the color of his windbreaker, changed his color.

Mao Lilan from behind also stepped forward in surprise, "Mr. Qin, you look handsome in this suit! You look much younger!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Qin Zhibo responded to Mao Lilan's compliment, then turned to Mao Li Kogoro and asked, "With so many of you coming to the hotel, you are here to open a room, right?"

"Open? Of course not"

Before Mori Kogoro could weigh in his heart whether he should tell his peers about the entrustment, Mao Lilan directly revealed: "Father and the three clients are here to find a game software engineer."

Game software engineer?
This is not
"Could it be Itakura Takuo you are looking for?"

Mori Kogoro looked startled, "Could it be you too?"

"Yes." Qin Zhibo nodded, and said casually: "I was also entrusted by a certain client, saying that as long as I help find Taku Itakura's address, I will be very grateful after the completion."

Qin Zhibo's statement was rather vague. Once the police investigate, he can easily confuse it.

But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Conan, who was short, reminded him: "Uncle Maoli, didn't you say that a tall man in black with a Kansai accent and a beard once approached Mr. Itakura?"

"Could it be Uncle Qin entrusted by that man?"

"And Uncle Qin may still remember him, he also appeared at the game conference in Mantiantian"

Conan said these words with a childlike face, but he was actually in the stage of doubt in his heart.

It is suspected that this matter has something to do with the black organization.

When accepting the entrustment of three people at the office just now, one of them revealed that a tall man in black with a Kansai accent and a beard had said something to Itakura Taku in a threatening tone.

"You are useless"

And the client also explained that this man also appeared at Mantiantang's game conference.

Conan's memory is good, especially after eating gin and a sap, he was particularly impressed by people covered in black.

Conan had bumped into the man in black at the door of the toilet at the Mantiantian press conference.

At that time, Conan had some subconscious suspicions about the man in black, but he couldn't find any evidence to prove that he was related to the organization.

Later, before the bombing happened, the man in black disappeared.

Originally, Conan had already forgotten about this flashing man in black, but today's commission brought back memories of his death.

The phrase "You are no longer useful", the more I heard it, the more it sounded like a member of a black organization.

Moreover, there are some unsolved mysteries in the follow-up to the Mantiantian bombing.

The first is the cocktail bar on the top floor of the nearby Dahei Building that exploded almost at the same time. Who actually bombed it?

Also, Takeshita, the murderer of the bombing case, gave the briefcase with the bomb to the deceased by exchanging the number plate of the briefcase.

The murderer Takeshita took the deceased's briefcase, which contained a list of top computer programmers classified as company secrets.

In other words, the person who actually stole the company's secrets was the dead.

Stealing company secrets is usually for money, and the way of trading in a briefcase reminds Conan of his first encounter with gin and vodka.

Obviously, the transaction method between the deceased and someone is also a briefcase, using the briefcase number plate collection mechanism at the front desk.

But until the end of the press conference, this transaction partner did not make a transaction, and the list naturally went to the murderer.

This made Conan once again think of the tall man in black who disappeared in the middle of the press conference.

Could it be that the man in black found out that the number plate of the deceased had been changed by a colleague in the middle of the transaction, so he aborted the transaction?
It's quite possible.

Coupled with the tone of threatening Itakura Zhuo, he really doesn't look like a good person.

The connection of various events made Conan feel that the identity of the man in black might be unusual.

Adhering to the principle of not missing any clues, Conan led Mori Kogoro to call major hotels in Tokyo, and only then did he confirm Itakura Takumi's address.

Then, under the pretext of worrying about Kogoro Mori eating alone, he followed him to find someone.

Now, hearing Qin Zhibo say that someone entrusted him to find Taku Itakura, 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 mentioned.

The man in black with a Kansai accent was named Xingsheng Hirota. Qin Zhibo only knew his name, not his code name in the organization.

Ever since Yukio Hirota left the press conference, Qin Zhibo had never seen him again.

Conan suspects that this person entrusted him?

Qin Zhibo shook his head, smiled and touched Conan's head, "My client is not Kansai accent~"

This answer made Conan a little disappointed. He thought he could follow the clues.

At this time, the three clients on the side couldn't calm down anymore, and asked quickly.

Fancy yellow-haired man: "Is the person who entrusted you also a member of the game company?"

Bald man: "Could Mr. Itakura take over the projects of four game companies? We stopped our project to develop for the fourth company."

Liu Huan, a handsome man: "That's too much, you must talk to him when you find him later!"

When taking the elevator, Mori Kogoro still told Qin Zhibo about his commission.

It turns out that the three clients are all members of the game development company, and each has a project entrusted to Itakura Zhuo for development.

It's just that Zhuo Itakura suddenly sent an email a week ago, saying that he wanted to take a break for a while, and the three projects in his hand were temporarily put on hold.

So these three people gathered together, trying to find Itakura Zhuo and ask why they were on three boats.

Among the three, the man with yellow hair and flashy clothes was called Xubeikelu, and his game was Go.

The bald man wears the same style of Conan's black-rimmed glasses, his name is Naito Johei, and his game is chess.

The man with the same hairstyle as Liu Huan is called Soma Ryusuke, and his game is chess.

Listening to these low-to-explosive projects, Qin Zhibo was really helpless.

I have seen games of the level of "Cocoon", and now looking at other games, it is indeed a bit difficult for me.

And for this kind of chess and card game that is difficult to develop, do you still need to find outsourcers?
Are you really a game company?

After listening to Mori Kogoro's introduction, Qin Zhibo also told about his commission.

"The other party entrusted him over the phone. I haven't met him in person. He said that after he finds the person, he can give the address and the money with one hand."

"But it's definitely not a Kansai dialect~"

Qin Zhibo's last sentence was to Conan.

"Ok!"

Conan nodded with a smile, then turned around and began to think seriously.

In fact, after calming down, Conan also felt that the people in the organization should not be so stupid as to find a famous detective to help him find someone.

It's just that if Itakura Taku was really threatened by the man in black, wouldn't it be a problem for us to look for it so openly?

If the people of the organization hide nearby, waiting for the opportunity to kill people
Maybe they're in his room now.
Please, why am I nervous?
I want to calm down, this is what the man in black said to Itakura Zhuo two years ago.

If they really wanted to kill him, they shouldn't have waited until today.
Besides, if Itakura Taku is really an accomplice of the man in black, their meeting should not be bumped into by outsiders like Soma.

Thinking of this, Conan's expression turned from very gloomy to generally gloomy.

And this change was also noticed by Qin Zhibo.

Look at scaring the kids.
The elevator stops on the 20th floor.

Room 2004 is Takuo Itakura's room.

This is the result that Mori Kogoro asked the front desk of the hotel under Conan's prompt, taking chess, chess, and Go as a breakthrough at the same time.

But even if Mori Kogoro doesn't show up, Qin Zhibo can still use the object-finding spell to determine Itakura Taku's location.

Several people walked out of the elevator room and came to the door of Room 2004.

Mori Kogoro reached out and pressed the doorbell, but no one answered.

And there is a Do Not Disturb sign on the door, generally speaking, you don't want to be disturbed by the hotel cleaning staff.

"It's strange, there is clearly a brand on it," Mori Kogoro wondered.

"Could it be that you went out to eat?"

"Then let's wait at the door of his room."

Everyone said their own things, only Qin Zhibo was silent.

He put on the magic power extractor again, closed his eyes, and a picture of Itakura Taku appeared in his mind.

A hint of inspiration appeared, pointing to the back of the door.

Qin Zhibo: "."

The god of death knocking on the door is always unresponsive, and most of them are abolished.

Although Qin Zhibo felt that it was time to call the police, just to be on the safe side, he had to go in first to confirm.

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, looked up at Qin Zhibo, and immediately understood some thoughts from Qin Zhibo's eyes.

You go, you go.

Conan: "."

No way, Conan could only run to the waiter, saying that he was a visitor of the owner of the room, and asked the waiter to open the door for him.

However, the waiter was not an idiot, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I'm afraid."

"Hurry up~ I'm about to piss out!"

Under Conan's superb acting skills, the waiter still violated the rules and regulations, and took out the master key to open the door of the room.

As soon as the door opened, it was Takuo Itakura who was lying on the table with his head sideways.

"Oh, it seems Mr. Itakura just fell asleep, so he didn't hear the bell~"

The yellow-haired Xu Beikelu was complaining, but Qin Zhibo had already stepped forward, pretending to touch his breath.

"People have been dead for a long time"

Qin Zhibo's tone was not intense, because he had already guessed that this might be the result before entering the room.

But these words were like a shock to the ears of everyone in the room.

"what!"

"Mr. Itakura—"

"My God! How could this happen!"

The three clients wanted to walk this way with disbelief on their faces, but Kogoro Mori stopped him with his hand.

"This is now the scene of a murder case, everyone except me and Qin Zhibo are not allowed to approach!"

"Xiao Lan, go to the police!"

"Yes!"

Mao Lilan took the order to leave, while Conan looked at the scene in shock.

Damn!
Just a little bit!

At this moment, Conan glanced at the disk in the luggage bag next to him.

It says "Diary".
