Chapter 419 Diary
Chapter 419 Diary

"What's going on in your hotel?" Dad pinched his nose and imitated Itakura's voice in front of the phone. "I'm the guest who borrowed the chess and go chess set. I just want to ask why I can't make calls from the phone in my room? I can only call you from my cell phone. Help me solve this problem quickly!"

I have to say that my dad is quite resourceful. He uses this method to get information of each hotel one by one.

Indeed, basically, except for special reasons, no customer would borrow three different board games at once. Even if there is, the clerk will have a deep impression of such a customer. Using this method to find Itakura Taku, my father has found a good way, but it is a bit time-consuming.

"Xun, do you know anything about Tequila?" In the corner of the room, Conan pulled me over and asked me in a low voice.

"I've heard of this name." I nodded, "but I haven't met him. He's not from my department. If I remember correctly, he's one of Gin's men. And as far as I know, he's in charge of intelligence gathering, money transactions, and talent acquisition. Don't be fooled by his big and strong appearance, he's said to be quite good at intelligence gathering and talent gathering. His close combat skills are also very strong. Although he can't compare to us gold medalists, he's also one of the best killers. Oh, and he has a subordinate who is also very good at intelligence. What's his name... I forgot."

"...Such a crucial point." Conan looked at me with disdain. "So, you don't have any more clues about this person?"

"What can I say to a dead man? When he was out there, I was still training. When he died, I was fighting hard to win the gold medal. We had no connection at all."

"You said he was from Gin's faction, so which faction are you from? Who is your boss? How many other people in your organization do you know?" Conan began to ask three fatal questions. "So it seems that you didn't tell me anything about the organization's code name and personnel. No, you must explain it to me clearly!"

"I didn't tell you because I wanted to protect you." I scratched my hair and frowned. "The more you know, the faster you'll die. And I'll let you directly contact those top experts through my intelligence. If you alert them a little, you'll never find them."

"You obviously have a lot of clues but you don't tell us."

"It's not that I won't tell you, but telling you won't help you at all. Instead, it will make you fall into endless speculation. By then, your detective brain will gradually collapse because you can't find the next clue."

"I..." Conan hesitated to speak. Indeed, if he checked step by step by himself and asked Xun to give him some guidance occasionally, it would be safer. But if he got a lot of information in one breath, even his father would not know where to start.

For example, Conan got the clue of a gold medal, provided the appearance and code name, and directly informed the Japanese police, and even asked his father to tell the FBI directly. Needless to say, when this news spreads, the other party will get the information through the informant and secretly deal with Conan or Uncle Yusaku. In more serious cases, they may even deal with the Kudo family directly, including Dr. Agasa and Shiho.

"So, it's best for you if we start from the outside and investigate little by little."

"But this way, we have almost no clues. It's too passive."

"Isn't it already there now?" I tilted my chin towards my dad, and saw that he had happily put down the phone.

"Found it! Itakura Taku is now in room 2004 of the Beika Hotel!"

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"So, that guy is hiding here." The group drove to the gate of the Beika Hotel, looked up, and Naito Sadahei spoke. After a round of wandering, it turned out that the person he was looking for was not too far away.

"But then again, aren't you three competitors? How did you find me at the same time?" Dad looked back at the three of them, already showing their smug expressions that Itakura couldn't escape, and asked with a sneer.

"After receiving that email, we learned that Itakura had taken on different projects at the same time, so we decided to meet and talk things out," explained Subekro.

“Then we thought it would be better to ask Mr. Maori to help.”

"Really?" Dad complained as he walked into the hotel. "And you guys, you insisted on coming with me. Don't mess with me later."

"Hi~~~" After much persuasion, I, Conan and Xiaolan followed. The purpose was to find out what kind of connection there was between Itakura Taku and Tequila. Of course, Conan was the main one to investigate.

"I think Mr. Itakura will be shocked when he sees three of them coming at the same time." As they walked into the elevator, Xiaolan leaned over and said to Conan.

"I just hope he doesn't get scared and have a heart attack." I complained, which made Xiaolan raise her hand and give me a sweet date.

I rubbed my head and didn't pay attention to Xiaolan's behavior. Instead, I saw Conan looking serious. Conan gave me a look, indicating that he would ask me something after getting off the elevator.

When we reached the 20th floor, Conan and I were the last to step out of the elevator, and Conan came over and asked me in a low voice.

"Xun, tell me, is it really okay for us to bring Uncle Maori and Xiaolan here like this?"

"We can see Itakura Taku if we open room 2004. Isn't it a bit late for you to say this now?" I stared at Conan with disdain. The fact that he could say this proved that he had thought about whether the organization's people were nearby or even in the room.

"But I can't figure it out. Tequila found Itakura Taku two years ago, and he just died in an accident not long ago. Although from a probability perspective, if they wanted to silence him, Itakura would have died long ago. But if Itakura Taku is also a member of the organization, how could he let Tequila run into Soma and the others in the company?"

"Maybe Itakura Taku is an outer member. After all, outer members have the opportunity to contact people in society. However, these three companies are not outstanding, so the probability is not high." I looked at the three entrepreneurs in front of me who were still vying for the first place, and couldn't help frowning.

"I think the chances of the organization still being nearby are slim, and I'm here too. Even if we run into a member of Gin's level, even if we risk exposing our identities, we can still use the terrain to cover Dad and Xiaolan's retreat. So don't worry, I'll cover you, you can investigate freely." Let Conan investigate freely, and I'll only be responsible for safety this time. After all, it would be beneficial for me to have more clues like this.

"Well. Let's find Itakura first and ask him what Tequila said to him." Although exposing his identity is not the best option, Conan is not going to give up now that things have come to this.

ding dong~
The door of Room 2004 was knocked, but unfortunately no one responded.

"It's strange. There's a Do Not Disturb sign, so why is there no response?" Dad rang the doorbell again.

"Did you go to eat?"

"Let's wait for him."

The clue was right in front of him, how could Conan wait any longer? He ran quickly to the service staff who appeared not far away, and tricked him into opening the door after talking a lot and running away.

Conan acted out the whole scene and even went to the bathroom for it.

"Little brother, you are really amazing." Fujinai praised Conan.

"Because I think that if Mr. Itakura comes back and sees everyone at his door, he might be so scared that he will turn around and run away immediately." Although Conan is eager for clues from the organization, he can't say this.

"But, little brother, your worries are unnecessary." Baker said, pointing to the desk not far ahead. "Look, Itakura just accidentally fell asleep on the desk."

"Huh... That's great." Conan breathed, "Finally found it."

"Maybe it's not as good as you think." I looked at Itakura not far away with an expressionless face.

"What?" Conan turned his head and looked at me.

"That guy has no heartbeat."

"Nani?!"

Bang!

A dull sound was heard, and Itakura Taku, who had just been lying on the table, was pushed by Soma and others and fell to the ground.

"Mr. Itakura, Mr. Itakura!" No matter how they shouted, Itakura, who was lying on the ground, did not respond at all.

"It's useless." After a preliminary examination, the father gave the conclusion. "It has lasted at least one day since Itakura died."

"Why, why is it taking so long?"

"I... I'll go call the police first." Xiaolan, who has long been a good citizen who calls the police, realized that what she should do is the right thing to do at this moment.

"According to preliminary inferences, Itakura should have died an abnormal death. The specific medicine for heart disease is still scattered on the table. I think Itakura probably had a sudden heart attack but did not have time to take the medicine, so he died here." Dad looked at the scene and made a preliminary inference.

"No, that's not right." Conan looked at the state of the corpse and muttered quietly, "This state of death and stiffness, this is not an abnormal natural death, but homicide!"

"Are you sure?" I asked quietly.

"Damn it, I was only a little bit away from knowing the news of that organization, why did it have to be at this time!" Conan gritted his teeth. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, and for me too. If I could find out the news of the organization from the side, maybe I could catch him off guard. However, the truth was not as simple as I thought.

"Forget it, since we have lost our target, let's leave early. This guy named Itakura died at this time. If it wasn't a heart attack, then maybe it was done by someone from the organization. Even if it wasn't him, it's better for us to leave as soon as possible. Xiaolan and my dad are here, so try not to let them get involved." I patted Conan on the shoulder.

"Damn..." Conan was very unwilling, but when he turned his head, he looked at a brown travel bag in the corner, which contained various items brought by Itakura. Among them was a disk with two words written on it.

　Boring plot, if it wasn't for the foreshadowing, I wouldn't even want to write it. . I'll speed up the next one.
