Stay away from Conan

Chapter 76 Vault

Looking at the words "Legendary Killer Kondo", Gao Yuan felt speechless. He had just experienced the legendary murder incident in Fifteen Nights Village, and now he didn't know whether to believe or not to believe the word "legend".

However, I still intuitively entered this information into the crawler software I wrote and started to retrieve the information.

Soon, Gao Yuan discovered that all the cases rumored to be related to "Kondo" had the same characteristics: the body was never found, and no evidence was ever left. The victim almost seemed to disappear out of thin air, and in the end the police only Can be considered as a missing person.

After the crawler software sorted out the collected information, Gao Yuan also discovered a characteristic: all the news about "Kondo" first came from a magazine, and this magazine belonged to a company called "Yuwentang" 's publishing house.

After thinking about it, Gao Yuan went to the publishing house called "Youwentang" early the next morning and found the editor-in-chief of this magazine.

"He was originally just a simple errand boy, but he was very efficient and careful, and his customer reviews were very good. About eight years ago, he suddenly closed down his shop and switched to underground business."

This is what the editor said after Gao Yuan explained his intention to come.

"Then have you seen him in person?"

Seeing the editor-in-chief swearing, Gao Yuan asked curiously.

"Of course not."

The editor-in-chief waved his hand quickly, "He never sees clients. 'Kondo' works very carefully. As long as it is a case that Kondo handles, the police will have no clue at all."

"In this case, how did your magazine get the news?"

Gao Yuan was puzzled about this.

“Because people often send anonymous messages to my editorial office about ‘Kondo’.”

The editor-in-chief said.

"Did you publish it without confirming it?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Originally, I was only responsible for this third-rate magazine. I can only dream of getting an exclusive news."

The editor-in-chief said with some helplessness, "Moreover, it is indeed mentioned in the news that the people killed by 'Kondo' will eventually be deemed missing by the police. I think it is still somewhat credible."

Seeing that the editor couldn't ask for more information, Gao Yuan left first.

For a person who started to engage in underground business about eight years ago, there is no evidence at all in all the cases he handles. This indeed sounds like an urban legend, not to mention that this "legendary killer" had only done various things before that. The span of errand work is too big.

Moreover, is it really possible for anyone to do this for eight consecutive years without even leaving the beginning or end of a case?

After leaving the publishing house, Gao Yuan thought this way.

Speaking of which, why do you want to investigate this "legendary killer Kondo"?

I was originally going to investigate the disappearance of Masao Komura, but after I learned that Masao Komura had a good relationship with President Iwaki and was also missing, I felt that there might be a connection between the two cases.

But they are both missing, but there is a big difference between the two.

It is not known when or where President Iwaki disappeared. And Gao Yuan, who had seen the scene of Masao Komura's disappearance, knew that this scene obviously did not leave any evidence.

In other words, the two may not be the work of the same person at all, so why should he bother to investigate the "disappearance case of President Iwaki"?

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan still came to the Miwa City Bank where the missing president Iwaki was located.

Unexpectedly, I met an old acquaintance at the door of the bank - Mouri Kogoro!

"What's the matter with Mr. Mori coming here?"

Gao Yuan stepped forward and asked.

"Why!"

Faced with Gao Yuan's sudden conversation, the somewhat sneaky Kogoro was still startled. After seeing clearly that the person coming was Gao Yuan, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's your boy."

With that said, Mouri Kogoro ignored Gao Yuan and walked straight into the bank's vice president's office, and Gao Yuan followed him in curiously.

Finding the vice president, Mouri Kogoro said: "Mayuko asked me to come here."

Vice President Takeo Emoto is a middle-aged man with some gray hair and a thin body. When he saw Kogoro Mori coming in, he immediately stood up and said: "It's Detective Mori! Come with me!"

As he said this, he was about to take Kogoro to the lower level of the bank, but looking at Gao Yuan who was following him, Takeo Emoto still asked aloud: "Who is this?"

"Wise and far-sighted, and also a detective."

Although he didn't know what happened, he specifically called Mouri Kogoro a detective. It must be because there was some incident to deal with, so Takato also specifically mentioned his identity as a detective when introducing himself.

In this regard, Takeo Emoto didn't say much. The company commander took Gao Yuan to the underground level of the bank - the vault level of Mihua City Bank.

When he arrived at the vault, Takeo Emoto pointed to the wall where the password lock of the vault was located. There was a piece of paper taped to it, with printed words saying - "If you call the police, this bank will be blown up immediately."

"It suddenly appeared during the inspection this morning, and I don't know who changed the password of the vault. So, two detectives, can you help us investigate."

Takeo Emoto said.

"Well, let's leave this to my famous detective Mouri Kogoro!"

Kogoro couldn't help but said proudly.

"But compared to this, I think there are bigger problems inside."

Gao Yuan pointed to the inside of the vault and said.

The door of the vault is an iron gate made of iron rods. The situation inside the vault can be seen through the gap between the iron rods.

Inside, there was a row of numbered safes placed against the wall, with a desk in the middle, and what Gao Yuan was pointing at was a pair of human legs!

A man was lying alone in the vault, his upper body was covered by the desk, and he could only see one pair of legs exposed! At the same time, a mobile phone can be seen next to the legs.

"Hey! What!"

When Kogoro heard what Gao Yuan said, he looked in the direction Gao Yuan pointed, and then said in shock: "Miss Mayuko!"

After hearing Kogoro's words, Takeo Emoto also came over to take a look, and his expression changed instantly.

"Mr. Mori, do you know him?"

Looking at the part where only the legs were exposed, Mouri Kogoro said with certainty, and Gao Yuan asked with some doubts.

"Yes, that phone belongs to Mayuko!"

Kogoro confirmed, "I remember that mobile phone chain."

At the same time, downstairs in an apartment, Masami Hirota came here quietly. This is the apartment she rented recently, and one year's rent has been paid in advance.

Walking into the rented room, Masami Hirota looked at the empty room and felt inexplicably at ease. Then she went to the phone in the room and dialed a number. This was the number she had investigated in the past few days. Detective Mediation Agency phone number.

At this time in "Sandglass", it was extremely deserted and there was not a single customer.

Faro Kizui was washing cups at the bar in boredom when the phone rang. Seeing that not even a clerk was there at this time, Faro Kizui answered the phone helplessly.

"Excuse me, do you accept detective commissions here?"

On the phone, a woman's voice rang, clear and sweet, and the person making the call was naturally Masami Hirota.

"Yes, let me introduce myself. My name is Kizui Fourou, the owner of the coffee shop and detective agency."

Kizui Hōro replied, "What is the commission?"

"I'd like to ask the detective to help me find someone."

Masami Hirota explained her purpose.

"Okay. Are there any requirements for the detectives who need to be entrusted?"

asked Hiroyuki Kizui.

Hirota Masami thought for a while, and then said tentatively: "It's best to keep secrets."

Hearing this request, Kizui Franzhi paused, and then whispered: "Then can this commission be completed within one day? I have a treasured, highly confidential detective here!"
