Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

At noon, in the office of the firm, after lunch, Xiao Ai wore an apron to clean up, and answered the phone that kept ringing.

"This is the Kido Detective Agency... I'm not his child, but an assistant. If you entrust me, I will help tell... the game system engineer is missing?"

Listening to the singing on the TV on the third floor, Xiao Ai responded, "You can come over now, is he just free?"

"Crack!" On the third floor, Gao Cheng lay on the sofa and adjusted the channel with the remote control, watching the replay of Reika Hayamizu's TV series with relish.

There will be a TV series by Okino Yoko later, and it seems that there will be a new episode of Zuowen TV series after that. I heard that this time Hoshino Terumi and the group will appear. It is a nostalgic series.

Well, watch TV in the afternoon and practice swordsmanship in the evening...

"I have a job," Xiao Ai pushed open the door and came in to turn off the TV, urging, "Take care of it quickly."

"Do you have work today?"

Gao Cheng reluctantly put down the remote control, straightened his tie, took out his clothes and put them on, and put on his watch by the way.

It looks a lot more formal than before, young is a little younger, but it doesn't lack the aura of a famous detective...

It is a good sign to have entrustments for two consecutive days. He found that the more entrustments and incidents he handled, the greater the possibility of systematic cases, which can shorten the time to obtain exchange opportunities.

Of course, having commission fees is also very important...

"Are you Detective Kido?" Not long after, a group of three people came to the office, and they were slightly surprised when they saw Gao Cheng.

"Looks much younger than on TV..."

A fat bald man with glasses said with an embarrassed smile, "Well, did Detective Kido go to Hyuga's house yesterday?"

Gao Chengcai sat down on the opposite side of the sofa, and asked unexpectedly, "Who are you?"

"Actually, I was also at the banquet at Hinata's family yesterday," the fat man scratched his head and said with a simple and honest smile, "but I'm just the son-in-law representing the past wife of my deceased wife, and I didn't intend to inherit anything at first... When I saw Detective Kido , I’m still surprised, and I’m afraid that I’ve identified the wrong person.”

"yes?"

Gao Cheng smiled dryly and took a sip of tea to suppress his shock.

How unlucky it is to meet the members of the Hinata family the next day, or to face them in their original identities...

"Ah, I don't mean anything else," the fat man waved his hands repeatedly, "I just didn't expect Detective Kido to be so good at swordsmanship. Today they said they wanted to find a detective, so I wanted to come and have a look."

Gao Cheng coughed lightly: "You want me to help you find someone, right? Do you have any information about that person?"

"Here," the fat man took out a photo, "he is the system engineer Itakura who disappeared a week ago. In fact, this is not the first time he has disappeared for no reason like this. Every time the entrusted game software is about to be handed in He will disappear like this within the time limit..."

"Yes," a long-faced young man next to him followed, "He still said that he wanted to concentrate on his work without being disturbed by others, but everyone knew that he just wanted to avoid the calls that would urge him to work on time..."

Gao Cheng took the photo and found that it was a moustache with an aquiline nose, wearing glasses, and looked not very approachable.

"Since you know he is such a person, why do you still entrust him?"

"Don't you know?" The young man was surprised, "Itakura is a master of computer graphics. When he was in charge of special visual effects before, his name often appeared in the production list of movies..."

After thinking about it, Gao Cheng still shook his head: "I don't know."

The uncle sitting on the side with a gloomy Chinese character face said: "Maybe it's because he quit the CG world three years ago because of poor eyesight, and concentrated on developing system programs. He is very famous in our industry. "

"But since it is possible that he is hiding by himself, aren't you afraid that he will be angry if you look for him like this?"

"We can't just wait like this, can we? To be honest, the other time he disappeared and we asked the police for help and he got mad, that's why we wanted the detectives this time, and if you found out where he was, Be sure to let me know..."

The long-faced youth handed Gao Cheng a business card: "I am Sugai who commissioned Mr. Itakura to design the Go program..."

"Hey, hey," Uncle Nakafen said dissatisfied, "We came together, why only inform you? Detective Kido, I am Souma who commissioned Mr. Itakura to design the shogi program..."

The bald fat man wiped off his sweat, and hurriedly handed out his business card: "Detective Kido, my name is Naito, this time our company entrusts Mr. Itakura to make a chess program."

Gao Cheng took three business cards: "Aren't you from the same company?"

"That's right, itakura said at the beginning that he didn't have a job, but who knew that he took three jobs in succession without telling us," the long-faced young man Sugai said angrily, "that's why we were anxious to find him..."

"How do you know you were cheated?"

"This is because a week ago he sent a video and video email to the three of us..."

Fatty Naito opened his laptop and showed the video to Gao Cheng: "This is it."

In the video, Itakura leaned on the back of the chair and explained to the camera: "It's tiring to make three kinds of game software at the same time, and my heart is not feeling well recently, so I want to go to a place far away from the office to design slowly, please wait patiently." Bar……"

"It looks like you're working hard..."

Gao Cheng sat upright, looked at the Go, Shogi, Chess and the corresponding chessboards placed next to Itakura in the video, and asked doubtfully: "A week ago... Could something happen outside, like Was kidnapped by someone or something..."

"Probably not..."

"No, if it's that man, it's possible."

Uncle Soma's face was heavy.

"Two years ago when I went to Itakura Studio, I met a tall man with a beard on his lips and a Kansai accent. I saw him last time when I participated in Mantiantian's new work conference..."

"You mean that big scary guy," Naito said, sweating. "I was almost knocked over by him."

"I also remember, it's that scary tall man in black, right?"

"Excuse me!" Conan suddenly ran over from the door, looking closely at Soma and the others, "What did that man do at Itakura Studio?"

"what?"

"Conan?"

Gao Cheng looked at Conan who jumped out, and quickly explained: "This kid is also my assistant."

"Oh," Souma reacted, "I don't know why that man went to Itakura studio. When I arrived at the studio, the man was about to leave, and he seemed to say something like 'you are no longer useful'. , that's why I think that guy might attack Itakura..."

Gao Cheng looked at Conan who reacted strongly, shook his head and said, "That man died in that explosion, so it should have nothing to do with him... Was this video recorded by Mr. Itakura in the hotel?"

"It should be, but the hotel will not reveal the privacy of the guests..."

"What a headache."

"These chessboards..." Gao Cheng leaned closer to the computer and replayed the video, "Did he bring these all by himself?"

"No, the people in his studio said that he only put his usual laptop and a few data disks in his bag, and the chessboard should be provided by the hotel."

"There are not many hotels that provide this kind of service, and the room decoration doesn't seem to be bad... just wait for me..."

Gao Cheng smiled, got up and pulled Conan out of the office.

"How did you come here?"

"Uncle recorded the video of himself being interviewed after solving the case and watched it all morning. I couldn't bear it so I came here."

Conan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Uncle Maori's narcissism, paused and then looked solemnly at the few people waiting in the office.

"By the way, Kido, you heard what they said just now. That's right, the man in black is Tequila. It seems that the organization has indeed contacted software engineer Itakura. Maybe Itakura has clues there. Our last Hurry up and find the missing Itakura..."

"us?"

Gao Cheng rubbed his brows.

It's over, with this guy around, everything will happen...

"Let's find the person first, and then talk about it. Listen to me first if you have anything to do."

"Okay." Conan smiled like a baby.
