Chapter 27 The Clues of the Intersection

Seeing this young man who claimed to be a detective come to him with such a document, Saeki was very calm, and put this photocopied report on the coffee table casually.

"What does Mr. Wise show me this mean?"

Politely, Saeki was asking.

"Mr. Sabo really doesn't know this actress named Hanada Xiaozhi?"

Gao Yuan took the photocopied materials back to his hand, and then began to talk.

"Then I'll tell you the whole thing from beginning to end."

Zuo Bozheng didn't raise any objection, just sat and waited for Gao Yuan to explain.

"Actually, at the beginning, I was entrusted by Mr. Xi Chuan to investigate his illegitimate son 20 years ago.

"Mr. Xichuan had an affair with an actress back then, but because of the strong opposition of Mr. Xichuan's son at that time, the two did not develop further. On the contrary, the actress was even exposed to the scandal of being pregnant out of wedlock. So that The actress chose Xiying in a fit of anger, and left Osaka while pregnant, and went to Tokyo. She disappeared for nearly 20 years without any news.

"So, I came to Tokyo to find out where the actress went when she came to Tokyo."

Gao Yuan paused, saw that Zuo Bo was not responding to what he said just now, and then continued.

"Originally, some clues are always needed to find someone. But after I searched for some information carefully, I found a problem-what was the real name of the actress? I read a lot of newspaper reports that reported the incident at the time, and all of them only The actress' stage name was mentioned, but there was no information about her real name.

"So, I can only start with another clue - Mr. Xi Chuan once gave the actress a 6-carat blue diamond. However, when I wanted to investigate based on this, I also fell into a deadlock ——I can’t find any news about this diamond in the market at all!”

Having said that, Gao Yuan's eyes began to stare at Zuo Eki.

Saeki, who realized something, also gave a response:
"So, did you come to me to ask about gemstones? Then you will be disappointed. Although I am a collector, I can't give you anything useful with information like a 6-carat blue diamond. news."

"That's not true. It may be God's will. When I first came to Tokyo, I ran into the notice letter sent by the Kaitou Kidd to Mr. Saeki. Out of curiosity about the Kaitou, I unlocked the content of the notice letter. So I Then I went to the location announced by the phantom thief, and found the jewel that Mr. Saeki had collected, 'Tears of Moonlight'."

Hearing this, Saeki was finally a little moved, but he still hesitated to speak.

"After I saw 'Tears of Moonlight', I finally understood why Mr. Saeki bought it for six years but never showed it to the public."

"You see it?"

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Zuo Bozheng finally let go.

"Yes, 'Tears of Moonlight' can no longer be displayed to the public, because the diamond embedded in it has been broken!"

Gao Yuan smiled.

"Of course, this was just a small episode after I came to Tokyo, but after I carefully looked at the broken diamonds, I suddenly found that if these diamonds were restored to a diamond, wouldn't they be about 6 carats in size? And , exactly, this is still a blue diamond!"

"So you think this diamond is the one you want to investigate?"

Saeki was asking.

"Indeed, that's what I thought at the time."

"Mr. Wise will be disappointed. After all, I just bought it at an auction, and I don't know its origin."

Saeki was speaking.

Gao Yuan was not impatient. After all, from the beginning, his words were half-truths and half-false, and all he did was just to pave the way for the final questioning.

"Let's turn the topic back to the previous one, about the actress's real name. I spent a lot of effort, and finally found out the actress's real name, which is written in this photocopied report ——Hanada Xiaozhi."

As for finding this, Gao Yuan almost got his head off last night. The Internet 20 years ago was an ultra-high-end technology, and many companies did not have so-called server data, so his own hacking skills were useless here.

And the brokerage company back then had closed down a long time ago, and I couldn't find any clues on the Internet alone, unless I could find the insiders from back then, but I don't know anything about the film industry in this world at all!
But the turning point came last night after looking through the film and television drama that the actress had starred in - it was a TV series about Sakamoto Ryoma 20 years ago, in which Gao Yuan actually saw a character he was familiar with!

Yup! 20 years ago, the movie world!How could this character be forgotten in this Detective Conan world!It is the protagonist of this world, Edogawa Conan's body, Kudo Shinichi's mother - Kudo Yukiko!

Moreover, Yukiko Kudo is now in the United States, and is a well-known female detective in the United States, known as the "Baroness of the Dark Night"!It is not easy to find the contact information of this big celebrity on the Internet!
It happened that I thought of this in the early morning, and it happened to be daytime in the United States!
So Gao Yuan, with the mentality of giving it a try, called Kudo's house on the other side of the ocean, but he didn't expect things to go smoothly unexpectedly!

After Gao Yuan briefly explained the purpose of the call, Kudo Yukiko enthusiastically provided a very important clue - she remembered the real name of the actress who worked with her back then, and it was called "Xiaozhi". Can't remember.

After getting such clues, Gao Yuan was very grateful to Kudo Yukiko for his help, which gave Gao Yuan a very clear direction of investigation-in the end, Gao Yuan found this photocopied report that he showed to Saeki Zheng.

However, this kind of experience is beyond Gao Yuan's expectation - I originally planned to contact Kudo Shinichi after completing the challenge task, but I didn't expect that Kudo Shinichi hadn't contacted him yet, but got in touch with his parents first!

At this time, Zuo Bo heard Gao Yuan pronounce the name "Hanada Xiaozhi" and had no reaction, so Gao Yuan continued.

"Mr. Saeki, when I was investigating the diamond clue, I accidentally checked your information and found that your Saeki's surname was changed after marriage. Your original surname should be—Hanada!"

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan smiled - all the previous words were prepared for this moment.

"The two clues I'm pursuing meet at this moment. No matter what I think, I don't think it's a coincidence. So, Mr. Saeki, can you give me an answer?"

After saying that, Gao Yuan changed his sitting posture and looked at Saeki, waiting for his response.

"Uncle Saeki?"

At this moment, Hanada Huiwei walked in from the door alone, and saw a weird atmosphere in the living room between Gao Yuan and Saeki Masa.
