Stay away from Conan

Chapter 107 A very familiar name

On the night when he returned to Tokyo from the American island, Miyano Shiho returned to his apartment, closed the door tightly, extracted the blood stains on the inside of his coat cuffs with a cotton swab, and then sealed it into a test tube.

Looking at the blood-stained cotton swab in the test tube, Miyano Shiho seemed a little hesitant, but after thinking for a moment, he got up, came to the bedroom, and began to rummage around in the cabinet. Finally, he pressed a Take out the box at the bottom.

Looking at the box that had been there for some years, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but show a solemn expression, but soon he opened the box and found an imperial guard - this was four years ago when he graduated. , something that person gave to himself.

Miyano Shiho looked at the guard carefully, then put on medical gloves, carefully opened the guard, and then took out the contents - inside was a small piece, like a dried snake slough.

That's right, it's the umbilical cord.

This was the second time Miyano Shiho saw what was inside, and he was very sure.

In Japan, there is indeed a tradition of parents putting the umbilical cord of their child into a talisman or amulet, and obviously, what is placed in this umbilical cord is that person's umbilical cord!

What a careless and arrogant guy.

Thinking like this, Miyano Shiho's thoughts have drifted to the time when he graduated in the United States four years ago.

That was the scene when I said goodbye to that person at the entrance of the university's experimental building.

At that time, because I was about to return to China to develop drugs for the organization, I felt that this farewell might be an eternal farewell.

Therefore, at that time, I wanted to say goodbye to that person, and he seemed to be aware of this, and without saying anything else, he gave himself his personal guard as a parting gift.

However, it was obvious that he had never known what was inside - this kind of guard was not meant as a gift.

However, when he discovered what was inside, he was already researching drugs for the organization, so he had no chance to return the things.

Miyano Shiho thought this way, looking at this small piece of umbilical cord, he couldn't help but sigh - surprisingly, it can be preserved so well!

Soon, Miyano Shiho collected part of the sample, put it into another test tube and sealed it, then restored the guard, packed the box and put it back to its original place.

Now, both samples are available!

Sitting on the chair and looking at the two test tubes in his hands, Miyano Shiho hesitated and frowned slightly - Do you really want to do this?

Thinking about it carefully, although that person was his best friend when he was studying abroad, after all, he hadn't seen him in person for four years. And ever since I saw his name on the list, I was sad for a while but it's fine now.

If--if I hadn't met that person in that parking lot.

Miyano Shiho recalled that day at the Mihua Municipal Building, watching the man solve the case, and then seeing him in the parking lot.

If he hadn't had that intuition at that time, maybe he wouldn't have done so many things in the future. After all, he had no idea why he was on the list, but it was not incomprehensible to think that he was such a talented engineer and would be targeted by the organization.

However, recalling the scene with Akechi Takato on the American island, Miyano Shiho had some doubts about the results of the face comparison.

They are completely different, in terms of gait, language habits, and even personality!

If I say that my understanding of that person is careless and arrogant, then wise and lofty, it is obviously the complete opposite, reserved, meticulous, and even -

Thinking of this, Miyano Shiho took out the necklace set with rubies from his pocket - he had no idea when he put it in his pocket.

Intuitively, Miyano Shiho found it difficult to agree that Akechi Takato and that person were the same person, so he wanted to confirm further.

However, now that we have the samples, we only need to go a step further to know the answer, but Miyano Shiho still hesitates: If we know it, what can we do?

Silently, he locked the two test tubes into the drawer. Miyano Shiho leaned on the chair, holding the chain of the necklace, hanging the ruby ​​in front of his eyes, and sighed helplessly - is there still a chance to send it back? Do I still have to ask my sister for help?

Suddenly, Miyano Shiho woke up from his chair. When he thought of his sister, he recalled the slightly warning words Gin said in the car yesterday - "I heard that you have met your sister a lot of times recently. A bit much."

Thinking of this, Miyano Shiho's eyes became serious - it seems that he can no longer go to his sister casually! Sure enough, because of that man named Morohoshi, my sister is in danger now!

Then, a few days later, a piece of news caused a sensation: the Metropolitan Police Department smashed all branches of a huge international criminal organization in Japan.

This incident caused a violent response internationally, and the Metropolitan Police Department refused to disclose any relevant details about the incident.

Gao Yuan had just left the police station. The bruises on his face had not completely healed yet, but the injuries on his legs no longer affected his normal walking.

Looking at the news about the destruction of the "Gus Group" reported in the newspaper, Gao Yuan silently returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying on the American Island, and took back his ID and mobile phone from above the wall-mounted air conditioner.

At that time, for safety reasons, I hid everything that could prove my identity during the investigation. After entering the police station, I proved my identity through the relationship with Officer Megure. Fortunately, the "Hermit" stayed with her throughout the whole process, but she had to take a good shower after returning this time.

Taking out his mobile phone, Gao Yuan quickly dialed a number. Soon, the call was connected.

"Hey, are you back alive?"

Before Gao Yuan spoke, a playful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, thanks to you."

Somewhat helpless, but slightly relieved, Gao Yuan said, "Is it you who did it? Anonymously handed over the collected group information to the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Yes, thank me."

The person on the other end of the phone said in a tone of asking for credit, "If it weren't for me, you would still be in the police station. I just didn't expect that the police would act so quickly this time."

"After all, the matter involves the ambassador of the Kingdom of Krat in the Middle East, and an emerald necklace worth 260 million. If it is not handled properly, it will cause international disputes."

Gao Yuan said, "But if you have to say it, you have to thank me. After all, I didn't tell the police the client's name directly because I wanted to clear away the suspicion, Kuroba-san. The members of the group who were on the island at that time were being arrested When the police arrested him, he took poison and committed suicide. I have been entangled with the police for so long without being able to prove that they were an international criminal organization. "

"Enough talk, what happened to the 'Red Faced Mermaid'? I heard that just yesterday, the pet turtle with the 'Red Faced Mermaid' attached to it was bought by an unknown buyer."

Speaking of this, Kuroba Kaito on the other end of the phone immediately changed the topic.

"The 'Red-faced Mermaid' does exist, but the gems on the turtle now are fake."

Gao Yuan said, "When I found out, the people in the group had already replaced the gems on it."

"Where is the real gem? This ruby ​​was not included in the items recovered by the police?"

Kuroba Kaito asked.

"have no idea."

Gao Yuan said calmly.

"Hey! Is this how you complete your commission? I asked you to investigate the 'Red Faced Mermaid', and now you tell me you don't know?"

Kuroba Kaito said angrily, "As a detective, you don't live up to your reputation!"

The tone was slightly sarcastic.

"What can I do? I took a lot of risks for this investigation. At worst, I will help you investigate other things next time."

Gao Yuan said calmly.

"That's all it can do."

Kuroba Kaito said and hung up the phone.

Putting away his mobile phone, Gao Yuan lay on the hotel bed and breathed a long sigh of relief - I'm sorry, Kuroba-san, even if he knew the whereabouts of the "Red-faced Mermaid", he couldn't get it back, so he might as well pretend that he didn't know.

Moreover, after experiencing this incident, Gao Yuan felt a sense of powerlessness - at least, he should have some ability to protect himself.

However, before that, there are still two things to resolve, whether I should intervene now in the matter of miko Shimabukuro Kime, and the reward options this time:

"Until Nakagawa Daizo died, you never asked the name of the designer of the simulated reality equipment. His name was: Mitarai Kyousuke."

This is the content of "Reward Three" that Gao Yuan chose this time. Looking at these words, Gao Yuan frowned slightly. Is this kind of information worth using this choice? I originally thought that it would be the news that Nakagawa Dazang had not finished talking about twenty years ago.

However, Mitarashi Kyousuke, what a familiar name!
