Conan: The Mechanic

"What?" Matsumoto Kiyotaka asked. "You mean the Qixi Festival two years ago?"

"Yes," Qianyu nodded. "On July 7, 1992, a fire broke out at Hotel Vega in Kyoto, in which a woman named Nanako Motokami who lived in Mitaka City died."

"Tanabata, Kyoto?" Matsumoto Kiyotaka murmured. "That's quite in line... Did the murderer kill because of this?"

"I don't know," Qian Yu replied. "That's why I asked you if you know her home address. I want to visit her relatives or friends and investigate her personal life."

"If it is a deceased two years ago, it may be difficult for me to find the address here. (The main copy of Japan's family register is kept at the municipal government, town office or village office; and the copy is kept at the Jurisdictional Legal Affairs Bureau under the Ministry of Justice. and the headquarters or branch of the local legal affairs bureau - they are responsible for household registration) After all, I don't have any information on the cases in the Kyoto area, but I can get the case files from the police officers who are familiar with Kyoto, and maybe I can find more documents Or people who are still alive, take this to learn more." Matsumoto Kiyocho said. "If there is news, I will contact you immediately, and you may need to go there at that time - after all, you are a child, if you just ask some questions, as long as you don't bump into the murderer's house, you won't attract the murderer's attention. ."

"Okay." Qianyu replied. The voice on the other end of the phone changed to a busy tone.

…………

About five minutes later, Matsumoto Kiyoshi had already contacted the police at the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters, and asked him to retrieve the fire case file that happened during the Tanabata season two years ago for himself. Sure enough, he found a deceased named Nanako Motokami. , and the dossier did record more detailed information about Nanako Momo-including home address and relative information.

"Don't tell anyone about this, you know?" After writing down the news, "Matsumoto Kiyotaka" told the policeman who had a very deep relationship with the real Matsumoto Kiyotaka. "Don't mention it to anyone as if I didn't ask you to investigate these issues."

"Understood," the policeman responded. "I'll keep it a secret."

"Okay, I'll invite you to dinner after the case is settled." Matsumoto Kiyotaka hung up the phone after a few perfunctory remarks.

After hearing the call hang up, the policeman was about to put the file in his hand back in the filing cabinet when he felt pressure coming from his right shoulder, as if someone had put something on his shoulder. When he turned his head, he found a squirrel holding a pine cone, standing on his shoulder and looking at him.

"What are you doing?" a cold male voice asked.

Behind him, Ayanokouji Wenliang - he is the police department of the Criminal Division's Search Section 1, who happens to be the policeman's immediate boss - looking at him and said.

…………

Mitaka City, the entrance of an apartment building.

"..." Qian Yu looked at the door with a heart-shaped sign hanging in front of her, and looked at the name on the sign.

Nanako Motogami; Kosuke Mizutani. There is also a heart drawn between the names of the two.

As expected, according to the information provided by the manager Matsumoto, Nanako Motokami's boyfriend was named Mizutani Kosuke, and he lived here before Nanako Momoko died.

However, Nanako Bengami passed away two years ago, why is her name still written on the sign? If Chiba and Haibara Ai will write their names on the house number in the future, and if something happens to Haibara Ai, he will definitely remove this sign—if he doesn't take it down, every time he sees this sign Brands will inevitably see things and think about people, and they will carve scars on their hearts again and again, and the scars will only get deeper and deeper each time.

With such doubts in mind, Qianyu knocked on the door with a little hesitation.

After half a minute, no one responded, so Chiyu knocked again.

This time, someone finally opened the door, but it wasn't Mizutani Kosuke who opened the door, not even the door Chiba was knocking on.

"Oh?" The door next to it was opened, and a fat young man stuck his head out and looked at Qianyu curiously. "Are you here to find Mizugu? He shouldn't be at home."

"I really came to find Mr. Mizutani," Qianyu bowed slightly to the young man. "Do you know where Mr. Mizutani is?"

"Shuigu?" The young man frowned slightly. "Do you have anything to do with him?"

"Does Mizutani come back every day?" Chiba asked.

If he has to come back here every day, then it is unlikely that Mizutani Kosuke is the murderer-according to the information obtained by Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Mizutani Kosuke has not been able to obtain a driver's license, which means that he has no way to drive a vehicle, only Can be maneuvered in other ways. Several of the seven corpses that have been found are quite far away from here, and if he returns home every day, it is unlikely that he will even visit those people. What's more, those corpses were basically found in the early morning, and it was impossible for a person who came home every day to do this.

"Mizugu hasn't come back here for a month," said the young man. "Or rather, he has only come back once this year."

"Can you tell me the details?" Qianyu asked. "I was sent here by the Matsumoto manager of the Metropolitan Police Department to visit the nearby residents and see if anyone knows more about Mizutani Kosuke and Motokami Nanako."

With that said, Chiba took out a certificate—this was a certificate issued by the town office under the order of Kiyoshi Matsumoto for him, proving that he was indeed visiting and investigating relevant information at the request of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The Metropolitan Police Department?" The young man glanced at the core content of the certificate, his eyes widened. "Little guy, come in and talk slowly~www.readwn.com~ I can barely understand the relevant things."

Saying so, the young man brought Qianyu into the house, then went to the kitchen to get a bottle of unopened orange juice for Qianyu, and poured another glass for Qianyu. "My name is Sawamura Jun, I am a graduate student in the Law Department of Shanghai South University, please give me more advice."

"..." Qianyu looked at the juice in front of him, and then observed the window in this room that could be used for escape - no way, until everything is settled, it is still unknown who the murderer is, and living in Mizutani Kosuke this Toshi Sawamura, a neighbor who is presumed to be next door to the murderer and who also has some knowledge of Mizutani Kosuke and Nanako Motogami, can't rule out potential suspicions - if he takes advantage of the fact that Mizutani Kosuke lost his girlfriend because of these seven people, borrow his It is entirely possible to commit crimes in name.

But in the end, Chiba put down her guard against this glass of juice—because Toshi Sawamura poured herself a glass and drank it all.

"Did you say that Mizutani brother only came back once a year?" Qianyu asked after taking a sip of orange juice.

"Yes," Sawamura Jun nodded. "He went out last year around Qixi Festival. I thought he came out of the shadows and found a new lover. As a result, he never came back - but because he paid enough rent in advance, the landlord Didn't clean his stuff either."

"Until a month ago, he should have come back, because when I woke up that morning, I found that there was a heart-shaped number on their door - the one you saw that said Mizutani, Nanako Motogami and A sign with a heart symbol - that sign was taken down after Miss Bensang's accident, but has been put up since that day, so I guess he must have sneaked back once and put the sign back up up."
