Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

The missing game software engineer is called Itakura Taku, and there are three clients who want to find him.

They are Subei who commissioned him to make a Go game, Naito who commissioned him to make a chess software, and Soma who commissioned him to make a shogi software.

The three had worked with Itakura Taku before, but last time when the software was due, Itakura Taku disappeared.

They thought something had happened and called the police, but it turned out that Itakura Taku hid himself just to delay the delivery time, and the three were scolded by the police.

But this time, not only because the agreed time was coming, but also because Itakura Taku accepted the commissions of the three of them at the same time.

After hearing the reason for the incident, Conan was a little disappointed.

There had been the incidents of Man Tian Tang and Yuan Jia Ming before, and he thought that Itakura Taku, who was also a programmer, was killed by the organization.

"So, you are in a hurry to find him because he accepted three softwares at the same time and the agreed time is coming soon, and you are worried that he will not be able to hand over the software in time?" Maori Kogoro asked.

Fat Naito answered helplessly: "Yes, he sent us such a video a week ago." Then he took out his laptop from his bag and played a video.

In the video, Itakura Taku sat in a chair and said to the camera that he couldn't stand taking three commissions at the same time. In addition, his heart condition was not very good, so he planned to temporarily put down his work and take a few days off.

When Mao Lilan saw the person in the video, she was quite surprised and said: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Itakura Taku who was famous for making CG in the past? I often see him in the credits of movies. I just thought it was the same name."

Mao Lilan is also knowledgeable in some ways. As long as the celebrities and scenes that have appeared on TV, she can say one or two.

"That's right," Naito nodded, "but since he injured his eyes three years ago, he has not done CG work anymore, but has focused on developing game software."

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but doubt after hearing this: "If he is so famous, could he have been kidnapped?"

Naito wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed dryly: "No way? He didn't receive any ransom calls, it should be the same as last time..."

"No, maybe it's really possible." Soma pinched his chin thoughtfully, he looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "Two years ago, I went to Mr. Itakura's office and saw a burly man with a beard and a Kansai accent talking to him."

"Hey, you may have seen him too, he also appeared at the previous Mantiantang game launch conference."

Conan's face suddenly changed, beard, Kansai accent, Mantiantang, burly man, isn't that Tequila who was accidentally killed by the explosion at the previous Mantiantang game launch conference because he took the wrong box?

He still heard the code names of Gin and Vodka from Tequila. (Appeared in Chapter 53)

This person actually had contact with Itakura Taku? Did Itakura Taku also join the organization?

He was not hiding, but was silenced by the organization?

Conan, who had been a little nervous because of the organization members lurking in the dark in the past few days, suddenly rushed over with a changed face and asked Soma loudly: "What did that man say?"

"Huh?" Soma was stunned. He didn't expect Conan to suddenly appear.

"What did they say in the office?" Conan asked anxiously.

Soma recalled, with a bit of fear on his face: "Who knows, when I arrived, I heard him say 'You are no longer useful', and then he left."

Conan's face suddenly became gloomy: "What else? They must have said something, right?"

"Conan!" Mao Li Ran immediately realized something, and hurriedly took Conan back a few steps, whispering in his ear, "Calm down."

Conan froze, and realized that his brain was hot and impulsive, so he calmed down and whispered: "Sorry, uncle, continue talking."

Mauri Ran held Conan and sat on Mao Li Kogoro's office chair, stroking his head and whispered: "Shinichi, don't be anxious, you are the one who said it was dangerous, why are you so impulsive?"

Conan lowered his head and whispered: "Sorry, Ran, I was wrong."

Mauri Ran comforted: "It's okay, I'm here."

"···Yeah." Conan sat in Mao Li Ran's arms honestly.

Seeing Conan calm down, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuya's method really works, but although Shinichi has calmed down, I always feel that I am at a disadvantage. No, I must deal with him after he changes back! Mao Lilan said secretly in her heart, squinting her eyes and looking at Conan's head with a dangerous look.

Originally attracted by Mao Lilan's gentleness,Conan, who had calmed down his impatience, suddenly felt a chill on his head.

What happened? He had a bad feeling.

Although the other four were somewhat puzzled by Conan's behavior, they did not think too much about it and simply regarded it as a child's nonsense.

Maori Kogoro analyzed: "As far as I know, the man had died in the explosion at the press conference at that time, and it should have nothing to do with him. Now we should focus on this video and where Mr. Itakura is."

The three clients also speculated.

"Looking at the room in the video, I guess which hotel he is staying in."

"But if it's a hotel, they won't tell us any information about the guests unless the police go."

"In order to prevent us from finding him, maybe he used a pseudonym."

One person said one sentence, not only did it not help, but it made the investigation more difficult.

Conan took a deep breath. No matter what, he had to find Itakura Taku first. Maybe he could get some information about the organization from him.

Of course, the premise is that he is still alive.

He opened his mouth and said in an innocent tone: "Sister Xiaolan, I want to eat sashimi rice and Tianjin rice (crab meat rice) tonight. It would be even better if it can be paired with beef soup."

Ran Maori was stunned, but she has been completely used to it recently, and she knows that when Conan behaves like this, he must be secretly calculating something.

So he said in cooperation: "You have to eat Japanese food, Chinese food and Western food at the same time. It's very troublesome to cook!"

Conan hurriedly said: "Then let's go out to eat!"

Ran Maori was a little embarrassed: "But the small restaurants around here can't eat such dishes at the same time."

Conan made a long "oh", and then said: "If you order three dishes at the same time, you will definitely be regarded as a strange guest, right?"

Kogoro Maori's ears moved. He was originally thinking seriously about where to find Itakura Taku, but he heard Conan and Ran Maori were already discussing dinner. Just when he wanted them to calm down, Conan's words suddenly gave him some inspiration.

He looked at the layout of the room in the video and looked up at the three clients.

"Do you know what Mr. Itakura would bring when he goes on vacation? For example, the shogi, go and chess in the video..."

Naito thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. I heard him say that he would only bring a laptop and storage devices. He probably wouldn't bring chess pieces, which would be too inconvenient."

"I see." Maori Kogoro smiled with a smug smile, "I know how to find out where he lives."
