Conan: The Mechanic

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a branch of a local health insurance association in Kyoto.

"Hello, I didn't hear clearly, what do you want to investigate?" Sitting behind the counter, the clerk's smile was a little stiff, because he never thought that the young man in front of him would make such a request.

"This is the letter of introduction from your local headquarters, and this is the letter of authorization from the police headquarters." Qian Yu gently pushed the two sealed letter paper bags on the counter to a position closer to the other side. "As mentioned above, I was authorized by the police headquarters to come to check the medical insurance information of the resident [Nagoro Shikao]."

Like the vast majority of developed countries, Japan has a complete set of universal medical insurance, and most citizens will participate in it - pay at a fixed time, see doctors 13 times a year on average, pay about 30% of the medical insurance premium, and then use the Taxes to pay the rest.

And Nagashi Shikao is no exception - even though he runs the famous Nagashi Club, he still has a decent formal job, and this job provides him with a medical insurance recorded in the files of this health insurance association.

According to Ooka Momiji, Nagoro Shikao has cancer - a disease that requires a lot of medical intervention in the middle and late stages, including related drugs and medical services.

Nagoro doesn't come from a wealthy family, and he doesn't have any wealthy relatives or anything (ironically, it may even be Ooka Momiji who is closest to him and can afford it without health insurance.) , so if he wants to continue receiving treatment, the only possibility is to use medical insurance to cover most of the costs. Therefore, if the condition of Nagoro Shikao can be checked from the medical insurance files, it may be able to provide some useful information on the subsequent whereabouts of the missing person.

"Oh!" The staff ignored the letter from the police headquarters, but opened the letter from the headquarters first under Chiba's subtle gaze. Just glanced at it, and immediately believed all Chiyu's words. "Okay, okay, may I ask who you want to check..."

"Nagoro Shikao, his detailed information is in the letter in the police headquarters." Chiba motioned to the staff, and he brought two letters. "To be precise, his information and things like that are all in that letter."

The clerk's face turned embarrassed, and then he hurriedly opened another letter. "Okay, in short, I'll look for it right away, and please wait a moment."

Qianyu tilted her head slightly, and finally sat down on the seat next to her.

Cancer in that location is not so well treated. In fact, if Chiba were to speculate on a result in advance, it would be more likely that Nagoro Shikao would eventually withdraw from the National Health Insurance system due to death after one or two years of treatment.

Then, it is unlikely that he was the one who committed this case. But if that's the case, who can it be?

They had come to a conclusion before that the culprit might have inherited Nagoro Shikao's will and hoped to avenge him. But after the important fact that Nagoro had no ill will towards the Satsuki Society, [Nagoro Shikao's Will] also ceased to exist, and it was impossible for any successor to commit such a crime for it.

Then, who is the culprit? The person who stole the name Nagashi Luxiong and then used it for his own personal gain? From this point of view, the position and scope group of potential murderers will have to be redrawn from scratch.

"Hey..." Thinking of this, Qianyu sighed - God knows how much of the work they did before was meaningless because of this.

At this time, Hattori Heiji's text message arrived.

[The relevant details of the first explosion came out - and Ye's injured classmate has absolutely no resume of any official song card organization. Moreover, her injury was not caused by external forces, but the location where the explosives were placed was actually above the cabinet where Satsuki would place the song cards they used to designate the finals of the show. Just when she was about to escape with that deck of cards, she happened to encounter an explosion, and she broke her arm. 】--Hattori Heiji

"..." Chiyu looked at the text message and felt a little strange.

[You mean, the explosive is right above the place on the song card? Is your explosion point a precise description or a rough directional description? ] - Tachibana Chiba

[Precise description. According to the traces of damage to the electrical pipes found at the scene and the pipeline layout at the beginning of the construction of the venue later found, the bomb placement point is just above the cabinet] - Hattori Heiji

Is this planner sick? This is Qianyu's first thought. After all, how can a terrorist attack go to a song card...

No, it doesn't seem impossible, if there is something special about that deck of songs, it may indeed be targeted... But where can a deck of songs be so special?

Shaking her head irritably, Qianyu gave up thinking. After all, speculating on the motives of a mentally ill person is arguably the dumbest thing in the world.

Speaking of which ~www.readwn.com~ hasn't there been anything found in the archives?

Just when he finally began to feel that the wait was a little long, the clerk finally came back - with a file in his hand.

He found it!

"Well, we found the medical insurance file of this Mr. Nagoro Shikao a few years ago," the clerk handed the file to Chiba. "But according to the above label, he has been declared disqualified as an insured several years ago because he did not renew his premiums."

"Thank you, I'll take a look." Qian Yu untied the thread on the file and read it at the counter.

He paid for health insurance in 1989, but never again after that.

As for the amount of reimbursement... 1989 also saw a significant reduction compared to 1988, which could not hold up to 50% of the previous year.

Cancer patients, with the aggravation of the disease, the cost is getting higher and higher, why is the cost of the second year less than the first year?

Could it be that... after President Achiha witnessed Nagoro for the last time, he almost never used medical insurance again?

After that, what happened to him? Is it because he has no nostalgia for life, and finally gave up treatment, died as an anonymous person, and was cremated after the funeral home posted a notice to no avail? or...

Chiyu's eyes became serious.

Or maybe he died immediately after that, and the body was in an unknown place.

In that case, he would naturally not have any new account expenses for medical insurance.

As for how to determine whether he gave up treatment and died...

Chiba retrieved Nagoro's last medical insurance record in the first half of fiscal 1989.

Should I have a chat with that hospital?
