Chapter 658 Professional Mouri Kogoro
  The whole story begins a week ago.

That day, a woman in her thirties came to the Maori Detective Agency.

She was wearing a coat, a beret on her head, and a pair of sunglasses on her face. The overall look was very fashionable.

Although she was indeed very beautiful, her tone was very arrogant, like someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Then the other party took out the business card with "Mihara Morihira" printed on it, which showed that the other party's position was the publicity director of Star Entertainment Company.

This company is indeed very powerful in the entertainment industry, and it also has stars who are comparable to Okino Yoko. Needless to say, the importance of the propaganda director in the entertainment industry is indeed high and powerful.

And because the name was somewhat neutral, he did not suspect that the other party was fake at the time.

Regarding this point, Karasawa felt that Kogoro Mouri probably did not doubt the identity of the other party because the other party was too beautiful.

No, even if he is not obsessed with sex, Mouri Kogoro will probably not be too suspicious...

And the purpose of this woman coming to find Mouri Kogoro is also very simple.

She took a photo, which was a very abstract work.

"Do you still have this photo with you?" Tang Ze asked.

"For the convenience of searching, I took pictures with my mobile phone."

Mouri Kogoro took out his cell phone, flipped through it, handed it to the two of them and said, "Here, this is the painting."

Takagi took the phone and took a look at it before handing it to Tang Ze, "The content is the same as the painting at the deceased's house."

Karasawa took the phone and took a look at it, and found that it was indeed the same painting as the one he saw in Takahiro Mihashi Apartment.

However, compared with the paintings in the house, the paintings taken in this kind of photo are very large. Judging from the edges of the wall around the photo, it looks like a spray painting on the wall.

"I wonder what reason that woman used to ask you to help find the person in this painting?" Karasawa asked after handing the phone back to Mouri Kogoro.

"Tch, that guy said it so grandly that I thought he was doing something good."

After receiving the phone, Mouri Kogoro said unhappily: "At that time, she gave me a photo of the band, saying that it was a new band that their company was launching and was preparing to release its first album."

He said that he accidentally saw the painting spray-painted on the wall that day and thought it fit the band's style very well, so he wanted to find the man who painted it and ask him to help design the album cover and promotional posters.

It's just that the address, name, and contact number of the person spray-painted on the wall didn't exist, so she had no choice but to come to me, a famous detective, for help.

She was very generous at the time, saying that money was not an issue, but she had to find the owner of the painting before others in the company found out.

She also specifically asked me not to call the company then, but to call her directly on a personal phone.

In addition, this in itself is a good thing for the owner of the painting, so I have been investigating it carefully recently. "

"I used the excuse of robbing talents to eliminate the possibility of letting Detective Maori call you to the company." Takagi couldn't help but frowned after hearing what Maori Kogoro said.

"Then Detective Maori, when did you give her the information about the owner of the painting?" Tangze asked.

"It happened the day before yesterday." Mouri Kogoro thought for a while and replied.

"If the deceased was killed by someone who ambushed his doorstep, waiting for him to get off work, then the person who killed him probably had the information you provided." After hearing this, Tang Ze touched his chin and analyzed.

"That cunning vixen..." Mouri Kogoro said angrily: "I will definitely pull out her fox tail!!"

No wonder Mouri Kogoro was so angry. After all, he originally thought this matter was a good thing and would make the owner of the painting appreciate, so he investigated it so carefully.

Who knew that the result would be completely different from what he thought. Not only did he not do good things, but to some extent, he became an accomplice.

After all, if he hadn't helped find the owner of the painting, the other party wouldn't have been killed.

"Then what do we do now?"

Takagi scratched his head and said: "The information left by this mysterious woman is all false. We can't find her at all. We don't even know the motive of why the other party wanted to find Takahiro Mihashi and kill him."

"I do have an idea, but it depends on Detective Maori." Karasawa smiled.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me and I'll take care of it!" Mouri Kogoro said immediately after hearing this.

"I want to know how Detective Mori found Takahiro Mitsuhashi with just one photo?"

Tang Ze asked: "Normally speaking, this kind of thing is no different from finding a needle in a haystack."

"Hmph, as the saying goes, "Snake has his own way, rat has his own way." I, Kogoro Mouri, have no ordinary connections."

Mouri Kogoro straightened his collar and said calmly: "Let's go, let's show you how popular I am!"

Afterwards, Kogoro Mouri took out his mobile phone and made a call. Under his guidance, Karasawa and his party drove to Ginza, the busiest commercial street in Tokyo.

After parking the car, the three of them walked inside, and soon saw four or five young girls dressed in exaggerated clothes walking towards them.

"Yeah~ It's Kogoro~"

"Long time no see~"

But what people didn't expect was that the moment they saw Mouri Kogoro, the girls' eyes lit up and they swarmed around with smiles.

"Ah, this handsome guy looks so familiar~"

"Eh? Isn't that Tang Ze Criminal?"

"It's him, it's him! Didn't Kogoro say that he is very familiar with Karasawa Criminal! We really came together this time!!"

The moment they saw Tang Ze, several girls screamed again. Their enthusiasm made Tang Ze unable to resist.

Although when he heard Kogoro Mouri talking on the phone before, he sounded like he was talking to a girl on the phone, but he didn't expect that this would be the case when he actually saw him.

Judging by her attire, even if she is not a waitress at a Ginza nightclub, she is probably a rebellious female college student who hangs out in nightclubs all year round! ?
  Many of these girls who hang out in Ginza all year round are "supported and sponsored".

If you don't tell your wife, she will cry. If Xiaolan sees it, she might beat you to death, right?

While Tang Ze was dealing with the enthusiastic young ladies, he was complaining crazily in his heart.

The performance of Takagi on the side was even more obvious. He secretly pulled Mouri Kogoro out, turned his back to the girl and looked at Moori Kogoro with some suspicion, and whispered doubtfully: "Detective Mouri, you don't know how to "support sponsorship", do you?" "No! Reika-chan and I are drinking buddies! I helped me before and invited them to drink later!"

Mouri Kogoro broke away from Takagi's arm angrily, then turned around and looked at the girls: "Quickly, tell me what I asked you to do before."

"Ah, is it that painting? There are actually many in this area~"

One of the girls with purple hair said, taking out her mobile phone and showing it to the two of them: "We found this for Kogoro~
  At that time, we took photos of all the nearby wall paintings, marked the locations, and sent them to Kogoro~"

"They often play in the Ginza area, so they are very familiar with this area." Mouri Kogoro explained: "And they have many friends. I rely on their help for many of my commissions in this area."

Nodding, Tang Ze looked at the purple-haired girl and asked, "What did you mean when you said there are many around here? Were there many people painting this painting?"

"There are actually a lot of murals with similar styles in this area." The girl said, putting her phone in front of Tang Ze: "Look, there are a lot of wall paintings."

Tangze took his phone and looked through it, and found that although the characters and patterns were inconsistent, many places in this area were spray-painted with the same style of patterns.

After some conversation, the girls led the three of them to the nearest painting nearby.

This painting was not spray-painted on the wall, but directly spray-painted on someone else's sliding door.

"Destroying buildings is a crime."

While Tang Ze looked at the wall painting with the profile of a man on the wall, he searched for two legal provisions in his mind: "Talent should be used in the right place."

At this point, Karasawa turned to look at Mouri Kogoro and smiled: "Let me guess what Detective Mouri will do next.

Because there are so many patterns spray-painted on the walls in this area, I think the one that benefits the most is the nearby painting factory. "

"As expected of Karasawa Criminal." Mouri Kogoro praised: "Yes, I also thought that the merchants who were spray-painted might need to clean up the spray-paint, so I found the nearest paint factory near here."

"Then let's go over there next."

After asking the purple-haired girl to send the photos to herself, the three of them said goodbye to the enthusiastic young ladies and headed to the paint factory.

After expressing his intention, the boss quickly found a pattern consistent with the style of the photo provided by the woman from a cleanup list.

"Even if the inkjet print is erased, it can still be found in the records here." Karasawa praised while flipping through the record book: "Detective Mori, you are very smart."

"Hmph, that's right, I'm the famous detective Mouri Kogoro!"

Hearing Karasawa's praise, Mouri Kogoro said proudly: "How can such a trivial thing be so difficult for me!"

‘Occasionally you can be smart. ’ Tang Ze secretly complained in his heart.

"Um, boss, when was this painting painted?" Tangze asked, pointing to one of the paintings on one page: "It doesn't need to be a particularly accurate time."

"Ah, I remember I placed an order this summer."

The boss raised his eyes and said, "I heard from the customers who placed the order that it seemed that the painting was done in the middle of the night, which made them very angry. After all, no one would stay in the company in the middle of the night."

"I wonder which days they are concentrated on?" Tang Ze asked again.

"This time seems to be very cool, there is no pattern." The boss thought for a while and said.

"It means it's useless." Takagi said a little disappointed when he heard this.

"I don't think so."

Tangze smiled and analyzed: "The scattered time means that painters have no concept of time in their daily routine. Don't you think this is very similar to the characteristics of college students?
  Because there are no classes all day long, I actually have a lot of freedom in my time. "

"That's it." Takagi said thoughtfully.

"Meow~~"

With a meow, a gray cat with tiger stripes ran to Karasawa's feet. When he saw the cat, the boss, who had been serious before, immediately changed his expression, "Coffee-chan~ Where are you going~ Are you hungry?" "

The boss picked up the fat cat and smiled at everyone: "He ran away and disappeared some time ago. Kogoro found it with help. It can be said that he is a lifesaver!"

"As expected of a 'famous detective', he is also very good at finding cats and dogs." Karasawa complained.

"Hmph, don't underestimate these. For a detective, this is a necessary accumulation!" Mouri Kogoro put his index finger in front of the person and pretended to be cool: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't know the third boss here. Mr. Dao."

Well, to a certain extent, Kogoro Mouri was right.

After all, those who are willing to spend money to find lost cats and dogs are people who value their pets anyway, and as long as they can help them find Mouri Kogoro, they will naturally be grateful.

In this way, even if the two parties have intersections, they have established a network of contacts. If you encounter something related and don't ask for help, you can always ask.

The shameless Kogoro even became the savior's special guest because he saved a dog belonging to a rich lady's family.

"It seems that you can't find Takahiro Sanbashi just based on this information, right?" Karasawa looked at Mouri Kogoro again and asked: "After getting this information, where did you get the most critical information?"

"It's under a bridge."

Mouri Kogoro said while driving: "There are also spray paintings of Takahiro's Three Bridges nearby. I met a homeless man living under the bridge there. They said it was painted by a young boy who spent a long time in the middle of the night.

After getting this news, I asked Reika-chan and the others to help me find inkjet prints in the surrounding area, and I unified them and targeted nearby universities on the map.

Later, I borrowed the students' portfolios from the art department of a nearby university and visited them. I happened to find the same content as the paintings on the wall at Mihua University.

It's the photo you showed me before, Tang Ze Criminal. Not only does it have the other party's paintings on it, it even has his name. As for the rest, it's just a matter of following the clues. "

"Detective Mori, we now know how you found Takahiro Mitsuhashi from a photo, but what should we do next?"

Takagi said with a headache: "There is absolutely no way to find that mysterious woman."

"That's not necessarily the case." Tangze smiled and said, "We just went to several places with spray paintings. I wonder if you have noticed how many letters are there in the lower right corner?"

"You said that was his signature?" Takagi thought for a moment and reacted immediately.

"Yes, I asked that lady to send over all the photos they took. After checking it, I quickly noticed something different in one of the photos."

Tangze clicked on the photo on his phone and showed it to the two of them: "Only on this wall painting, there is no signature of Takahiro Mitsuhashi!"
