Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 378: Abandoned after seducing? (Vote for the monthly ticket!)

"But is this letter the only clue to the sender?!"

After being full of pride for a while, Kogoro Mori finally calmed down.

After all, although it is roughly certain that this is a prank, the sender has not been found, and we don’t know the other party’s identity or why they played such a prank on Mr. Ogawa.

In other words, although he solved Ogawa's client's problem, he did not really solve it!
Taking in the expression on his face, Conan, as a good assistant, decisively stood up again and acted as a qualified inducer, inducing Kogoro Mouri to think.

"By the way, does the sender want to buy something from Mr. Ogawa?"

"Ok?"

Kogoro Mori looked at him in surprise, not quite understanding why he said that.

Noticing his gaze, Conan quickly pointed at the letter and kindly reminded him, "Uncle, look! This is what it says!"

Listening to their conversation, Mr. Ogawa, the client, seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Now that you mention it, I remember that there is indeed a painting passed down from my grandfather in my hospital! I heard that the painting is worth about 2000 million now!"

"About 2000 million?"

Maori Kogoro and Conan looked at each other, their pupils suddenly shrank, and they thought they might have discovered the truth of the matter, "That's it! I thought that the sender might want to buy the painting from you!"

The painting handed down in Mr. Ogawa's family is worth about 2000 million, and this time, the amount of money enclosed in the envelope sent by the unknown sender is also about million.

He would never believe that there was no definite connection between them.

Maybe the sender wanted to buy paintings from Mr. Ogawa's family, so he sent so much money at once.

As for why the money was sent directly to Mr. Ogawa, and the price was more than 5 million more than the price of the painting?
Maybe it’s to show my sincerity!
After taking a look at the excited Maori Kogoro and the thoughtful Mr. Ogawa, Conan stepped forward again and guided the topic. "Anyway, let's go to the hospital run by Mr. Ogawa first! Maybe then, we can know the details!"

Whether it is to find out the truth of the matter or to collect more useful clues, it is necessary for them to visit the hospital run by Mr. Ogawa, the client.

"Well, let's go then!"

Naturally, neither Kogoro Mori nor Mr. Ogawa would have any objection to this.

After all, this might be the only clue they know right now. If they don’t hurry up and rush over, who knows if any new changes will occur!

With this in mind, after putting away all the toys on the coffee table, everyone drove to the hospital where Mr. Ogawa was...

Mihua General Hospital.

"Oh my! What a big hospital!"

Looking at the towering building in front of him, Kogoro Mori couldn't help but sigh.

I never thought that Mr. Ogawa, who looks ordinary, could work in such a big hospital.

No wonder he resisted the urge to accept the money after seeing the unknown sender sending him so much money.

After all, doctor is a very respected profession in Japan. Not only does he have a very high social status, but his salary is also extremely considerable.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the average salary of Japanese doctors is 1169 million yen. It should be noted that only 3% of Japanese office workers have an annual income of more than 1000 million yen. This can be said to be a "top-level job."

As Mr. Ogawa can work in such a large hospital, his salary must be quite a lot.

Not to mention him, even Mr. Ogawa, the client, was full of emotion. "Yes! When I first came here three years ago, I was also shocked! Because I was transferred from a small hospital in the countryside, it was the first time I saw such a large hospital."

Just as Kogoro Mori and Mr. Ogawa were feeling deeply moved, suddenly, a nurse came over and interrupted their conversation.

"Doctor Ogawa, there's another package for you!"

As a nurse in this hospital, she was naturally aware of the fact that Dr. Ogawa had been receiving express deliveries from unknown addresses and unknown persons for many years. It was for this reason that after receiving the express delivery again, she found Mr. Ogawa very skillfully.

Hearing her words, Mr. Ogawa sighed slightly, but he was not surprised that he had received a new express delivery. "Oh? Sure enough, he sent it again this year!"

"Morning glory? The weather is so cold! How can it still bloom so beautifully?"

Looking at the pot of vibrant morning glory in the female nurse's hand, which was Mr. Ogawa's new delivery, Kogoro Maori was a little surprised.

After all, the flowering period of morning glory is not right now.

But the pot of morning glory he saw now was blooming extremely beautifully.

This is obviously not normal.

"I see this flower is specially cultivated in a greenhouse, right?"

Mr. Ogawa looked at the beautifully blooming morning glory with a melancholy face and his voice was extremely low.

"again?"

Kogoro Mori obviously understood something from Mr. Ogawa's expression and words, and frowned slightly.

Just now, when Mr. Ogawa heard the nurse say that another package had been delivered, he was not surprised. Instead, he replied with the word "another".

In addition, Mr. Ogawa had previously entrusted him with express delivery matters.

His intuition told him that since both were express deliveries, the two things were likely related.

In other words, this bouquet of flowers is also likely related to the unknown sender.

"Is it possible? This is also!"

Mr. Ogawa turned his head and nodded to Maori Kogoro with certainty, saying, "Yes! This bouquet of flowers, the pile of toys, and the money were all sent by the same sender."

"But the flowers only bloom once a year, and every year it's on this day, which is February 2th!"

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri held his chin with his right hand and fell into deep thought.

"Since the flowers were sent, could the sender be a woman?"

Conan narrowed his eyes after hearing Kogoro Mouri's casual mumbling while he was thinking.

To be honest, there is no big problem with the direction of Kogoro Mori's reasoning this time.

After all, flowers have always been associated with women, and it is indeed very likely that they were sent by women. However, the key to the problem is...

"The flower language of morning glory refers to: illusory love!"

Even if a woman gives flowers to a man, she generally won't give flowers with such ominous meanings!
Unless, she has ulterior motives!
"Illusory love?"

Conan's reminder made Maori Kogoro keenly feel that something was wrong, so he looked at Mr. Ogawa suspiciously with his eyes half-circled and said, "Could it be that you did something to a woman two years ago and then abandoned her?"

Otherwise it is difficult to explain why someone would specifically send a pot of morning glory with such a flower language.

And, not just once, but every year!

"No! Absolutely not! I definitely didn't do anything like that!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Ogawa waved his hands frantically.

He can't just say this kind of thing. After all, this is where he works. If others hear it and believe it, it will not only affect his reputation among doctors in the same unit, but also his evaluation among patients, and even his business and family harmony.

"So what about the noble young master's birthday?"

Kogoro Mori also knew that it would have a bad impact if he casually said something like this that might lead to misunderstandings from others.

After all, if someone heard it, believed it, and spread it, it would not only affect the reputation of Mr. Ogawa, the client, in his own unit, but would also cause his evaluation in Mr. Ogawa's mind to decline, which in turn would affect the business of his firm.

Therefore, they did not continue discussing this topic, but instead asked about the birthday of Mr. Ogawa's child.

Considering that the unknown sender always sent toys, he suspected that the sender was most likely sending a gift to Mr. Ogawa's child.

As for why an extra pot of morning glory is sent over every year on this day, it is because Mr. Ogawa’s child’s birthday is today.

Without even thinking twice, Client Ogawa mentioned his child’s birthday, “Yuta’s birthday is in December!”

Of course he knew why Kogoro Mori asked this.

In fact, at the beginning, he also suspected that the unknown sender was sending a gift to his own child.

But the key point is, his child’s birthday is in December!

In other words, the item sent by the sender was neither for him nor for his child.

Because it’s only February!

Even if someone really wants to celebrate a birthday in advance, would they send gifts ten months in advance?
No matter how you think about it, you know this is impossible.

While Kogoro Mouri and Mr. Ogawa were thinking about why the unknown sender would send morning glories to Mr. Ogawa on February 2th every year, Conan walked calmly to the nurse holding the morning glories, and after saying a few words to her with a smile, he took the pot of morning glories from her hands.

As for the nurse, after handing the morning glory to Conan, she left.

After all, as a nurse, her workload is very busy. She can't just sit here and watch a few people reasoning. If that happens, even if Maori Kogoro and others have no objections, her leader should have some ideas...

……

Holding the pot of brightly blooming morning glory in his arms, Conan pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Mr. Ogawa, "By the way, Dr. Ogawa, can I borrow the patient's medical records?
"Ok?"

After these words were spoken, not only Mr. Ogawa, but even Kogoro Mori couldn't help but look at Conan curiously.

They were a little confused as to why Conan suddenly brought up this matter.

Under the gaze of the two, Conan confidently stated the reason why he made such a suggestion, "I think this pot of morning glory might have been sent by a patient related to February 2th, who knows!"

"Hey! That's right!"

Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up, and he had a keen sense that Conan's proposal this time was indeed a breakthrough point.

After all, if February 2th has nothing to do with Mr. Ogawa and is not the birthday of Mr. Ogawa's child, then it is most likely something else.

For example, important days or birthdays of people related to Mr. Ogawa.

Considering that Mr. Ogawa is a doctor, it is possible that the items were sent by his patients.

Moreover, apart from this, they have no other clues at the moment.

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well follow the suggestion of a certain kid and look at the medical records of the patients related to February 2th.

Maybe the blind cat will catch a dead mouse.

Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and asked Mr. Ogawa, "Um... can I borrow the patient's medical records to see? Doctor Ogawa."

"The medical records cannot be shown to irrelevant people casually."

Mr. Ogawa seemed very embarrassed about his request.

After all, he is a relatively decent person and really doesn't want to do anything that violates hospital regulations.

Maori Kogoro quietly approached Mr. Ogawa and whispered devilishly, "Just borrow it for a while, maybe we can find some clues about the mysterious sender from it."

"I think you should also want to know who is the person who keeps sending things to you, and what he thinks of you and the people around you, right?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. Come with me!"

Upon hearing what Kogoro Mori said, Mr. Ogawa no longer cared about leaking the patient's condition or whether it violated the rules, and his tone softened immediately.

After all, the world is big, and your own business is the most important.

Perhaps judging from the unknown sender's past behavior, the other party probably did not have any bad intentions towards them.

But people’s hearts are hidden, and no one knows what the other person is thinking.

If the other party was just using the excuse of "harmless" to lull them into silence, then by the time the other party revealed its true colors, he and his family would have died unjustly, wouldn't they?
Moreover, they did not do this to do anything bad. I think even if the patients knew what they did, they would not blame them.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and decisively took Kogoro Mori and walked towards the place where the patient's medical records were stored.

Looking at the two figures going away, Conan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then hugged the pot of morning glory, with a meaningful smile, and followed the pace of the two people in front...
