When he got home, Ogata was relieved to see that Xiaolan and her mother were fine.

He worried that since Gin Jiu could find Shiho, he should also be able to find his family and address.If he used the time when he went to see Zhibao to act, he couldn't take care of both ends.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen.

Today, Xiaolan, her mother, and Conan went shopping together. Ogata saw them happily chatting about the harvest and results of this shopping, and couldn't help standing aside and smiling.Fortunately, there is a mother who takes care of Xiaolan, my cousin who came all the way from Japan to accompany me. Otherwise, with my own schedule, it would be really difficult to spare time to take a good look around New York with her.

It is said that women are born to love shopping, and Xiaolan is the same.She is just a high school student. Although she is usually very sensible, it doesn't mean she doesn't have girlish thoughts.Ogata knew that it was difficult for him to play well with her, and he also knew that it would be very rude for him not to accompany her when he was brought back to the United States, so before going out in the morning, he asked his mother.

Being in a foreign country, we must take care of this cousin's feelings!

"Cousin, are you back?" Xiaolan noticed Ogata standing silently at the side, she was in a good mood, and said happily.

Ogata gave a "hmm" and said with a smile, "How is it? Did you have fun?"

"Auntie bought me a lot of clothes and took me to eat a lot of famous local snacks. We went shopping for a long time today, and now my legs hurt a little." Xiaolan replied quickly.

Hearing what she said, Ogata was relieved.

But when he looked at Conan, it was obvious that the latter's eyes were not so happy.He leaned back on the sofa in all directions.It seems quite resentful.

It's really hard for him to go shopping with two women and just walk around for a whole day.Ogata winked at him, wondering if the brat regretted going out with them instead of staying in the room watching TV.

"Mom. How are you? Are you tired? Do you want me to rub it for you?"

Ogata said to his mother who had worked hard all day.

Ogata's mother also seemed to enjoy shopping, and was busy 'dividing the spoils' on the table with Xiaolan, taking out all kinds of clothes and shoes from the shopping bag under her feet until it filled her eyes.

"No need, brat. Just go about your business. By the way, I bought you a suit, and I'll try on the size later." Ogata's mother waved her hand and said to Ogata.

Ogata took a shopping bag handed to him by his mother, with an unfamiliar brand printed on it.

Subconsciously, he opened the neatly folded suit tag inside the bag.When he saw the price above, he understood why Xiaolan and her mother were arguing there.

But no matter what, before leaving New York, Ogata was completely relieved when he saw that everyone was fine.

Perhaps in the entire living room, only Conan can understand what kind of mood he is at this time... for his most precious family members.

Ogata knew.This time he flew to Los Angeles and mixed into the party held by the black organization, it was completely risky.Is it possible to return to them again.will be an unknown.

The opponent held powerful firearms, and learned from Shiho and Akemi that the power of this organization in black was terrifying. In addition to ordinary pistols, they even had submachine guns with astonishing lethality.As well as bazookas and helicopters!

So, Ogata felt it for the first time.Leaving home, leaving mother.Leaving the one you love, leaving everything you have now, and facing a matter whose chances of success are not particularly obvious, it is difficult to describe in words the care and reluctance.

Looking at them, Ogata clenched his fists.

The Black Organization is like a cancer that may break out at any time.

Take advantage of everyone's happy and happy smiling faces to stay at this moment.

He has to face it, and rely on his own ability to protect the beauty that is engraved in his heart.

"Yusuke, what are you still doing? Go try on this suit." Ogata's mother couldn't help laughing when she saw Ogata standing there in a daze, holding the shopping bag in her hand.

Hearing this, Ogata nodded.

......

The next day, morning.

Ogata took a taxi to New York International Airport. He had very little luggage, only a simple satchel.There are some daily necessities in it, and some simple spells written in advance.And a copy of the New York Times, which I have nothing to do to pass the time.

Originally, in order to be on guard against what action Gin Jiu would take, he planned to prepare as many materials as possible with the characteristics of Gang Qi.

But such exorcisms as quicksilver and cinnabar are particularly effective against evil spirits, because liquids are to blame.There was no way to pass the security check, and Ogata thought it would be very troublesome to check in, so he chose to pack lightly.

Sitting on the seat in the waiting hall, looking at the many figures hurriedly passing by, he crossed his legs leisurely.

Ogata glanced at his watch, it was about half an hour before his flight took off.

He got up early and ran out without saying hello to Xiaolan and his mother.Because once they know that they are flying to Los Angeles, they will definitely try to obstruct it.After all, he flew back to New York from Japan and only stayed for two days, so he had to go to another place.Moreover, Xiaolan is his cousin, who was 'abducted' from Japan. It stands to reason that he took Xiaolan to have a good time, which is in line with what he should do as an older brother.

Unfortunately, there are priorities.

Ogata could only apologetically leave a note on the desk in his room, telling his mother and Xiaolan that he had something to leave for a while, and explained that it was an extremely important matter.

This special explanation is also to let Xiaolan not be angry with herself.

The waiting process was boring, and Ogata couldn't even get interested in reading the newspaper, so he took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"Shiho, take care of yourself."

His fingers tapped a few times on the keypad before sending the text message.

After waiting for about 2 minutes, Ogata quickly received her reply.

"I know, you will come back!"

See here.There was a tenderness in his eyes.

......

It was already noon when Ogata arrived in Los Angeles by plane.

He was alone, and just after leaving the airport, no one picked him up, but went directly to the taxi waiting area opposite the airport bus.

This isn't Ogata's first visit to Los Angeles.So he is familiar with the road here.

According to the specific route map found on the Internet before coming, Ogata explained how to go to the driver around him in fluent English.

The Cecil Hotel, which was chosen by the Black Clothes Organization for its gathering, was located in a remote location, so the scenery along the way deviated from the prosperity of the city.

Ogata sat in the passenger seat.Chewing gum, thinking about things in my mind.

"Sir, if you haven't paid the deposit, I advise you to choose another hotel to live in." At this time, the driver who had been driving.Kindly reminded.

Hearing his words, Ogata came back to his senses, looked at the driver with a middle-aged face, and asked a little strangely: "What? Is there any problem with this hotel?"

"I am a local resident of Los Angeles. As far as I know, very few people come to this Cecil Hotel to stay. Even if they find such a ghost place, they mostly choose to live there because the housing prices there are cheaper. I think sir, you don’t care too much about the price of the room, sir? If you are coming to Los Angeles for the first time, if you haven’t chosen a hotel, I advise you not to live there.” The driver glanced Ogata continued to talk eloquently.Post your own suggestion.

Those who hear these things actually know it well.

Before he left yesterday, he deliberately checked the background of this hotel to see what it had to do with the Black Organization, and what kind of meeting place would choose this kind of place.

But what he didn't expect was that he seemed to find some amazing content.

The information on the website of the Cecil Hotel states that it was in the 40s and [-]s.The Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles was once a hangout for the famous and wealthy.But as downtown Los Angeles crumbles, so does the situation at the Cecil Hotel.Because the rent is very low.And the accommodation time is flexible, which attracts many homeless people who are close at hand.Hotels have also become crime-prone.

The Cecil Hotel is located in an old, crime-prone neighborhood in Los Angeles, which is notorious for being "dirty, messy, and poor".

So this driver reminded him, it was completely kind!

Ogata was silent for a while, and asked knowingly: "Since it is a four-star hotel, the accommodation environment should not be too bad, right?"

The locals have the most say, and the driver seems to love chatting.

"No, no... You may not have heard of it, this hotel is very evil." The driver seemed to have thought of something, his face sank, and he explained: "If you often read newspapers and magazines, you should know The Black Dahlia case?"

"Black dahlia?" Ogata was slightly taken aback, thoughtful.

Seeing that Ogata seemed to have heard about it, the driver still focused on driving, and said: "As a Los Angeles citizen, the unsolved case of the Black Dahlia can be said to be a case that is often mentioned after dinner. And the deceased involved in this case, Yi Li Sabeth Salter died in this Cecil Hotel."

As a forensic doctor, Ogata has certainly heard of one of the famous unsolved mysteries in history. Once in class, Professor Kate specially brought out the 'Black Dahlia' he mentioned!

I still clearly remember that a classmate asked Professor Kate about the whole case.

At that time, Professor Kate gave a general account of the case.Afterwards, Ogata, who was extremely curious, went to the library to look up relevant information.

Black Dahlia, this is a world-class unsolved case comparable to "Jack the Ripper serial murder case"!

The 1947 true murder tragedy caused a sensation in California. The deceased actress Elisabeth Salter was called the "Black Dahlia" because of her black attire.After the death of Elizabeth Salter, the Los Angeles Police Department did its best to help solve the case, not because of Elizabeth Salter's famous name, but because the murder was so bloody and terrifying that the entire United States, especially The residents of Los Angeles were panicked.

If this cruel murderer is not caught, the local residents, especially the female residents, will not live in peace for a day.

The Los Angeles Police Department spent 3 years investigating this case. Hundreds of people were investigated before and after. During the period, many people turned themselves in and claimed to be the "culprit of destroying flowers". However, after investigation, no one was the real murderer.

For several years, the police found nothing. The murderer who killed Elizabeth Salter disappeared like air without a trace, and has not been found until today.

Therefore, Ogata once thought, if he was born in that era, would he be able to use modern advanced forensic identification technology to uncover the mystery that shocked the whole world back then!

"The Cecil Hotel was the place where the case took place. Since then, it seems that there have been murders in this hotel, so we locals will advise tourists who are visiting or on business trips to avoid staying in such places as much as possible. .”

The driver sighed and looked at Ogata.

But what surprised him was that Ogata smiled and said slowly: "It's okay, I'm a forensic doctor."

"what?"

"Well, it's dealing with corpses." (To be continued) i752
