Conan: The 7-year-old kid is a hacker

Chapter 31 Bones in the River (page 12)

Beside a stream in the suburbs

An old man fishing was chatting with some friends by the river. Suddenly one of them felt the weight of the fishing rod as if it had hooked something.

"Come and help, there's a big guy here." A white-haired old man called to his companions for help.

An old man wearing a hat and another old man wearing orange clothes came to help.

"What happened to Xiaotian? Is it because the big guy is so heavy?" The old man in the hat pulled up hard.

Looking at the constantly bending fishing rod, another old man stretched out his hand to lift it up together. The old man named Xiaotian rolled his eyes at the two companions.

"He also said that we should hurry up and pull Tanaka and Yoshimura hard together." Finally, the few of them worked together to pull out the whole thing.

As a result, when a few people saw clearly what it was, they were almost scared to the point of flying to the sky.

It turned out that they caught a jar and it was filled with deep white bones. There was one that was stuck in the mouth of the jar because of the water flow, so the old man named Xiaotian caught it.

Soon, Officer Megure and others arrived at the crime scene.

"Officer Megure, these are the people who found the bones, Oda Jiro, Yoshimura Ryu and Sakaki Shige." Takagi brought several people to Officer Megure.

Officer Megure glanced at the people in front of him

"How did you guys discover the body?" Officer Megure stared at the group of people.

"I invited the two of them to fish here today. This area is our secret base where we often fish and there are many fish," said Ryu Yoshimura.

After questioning the three people, Officer Megure asked Takagi to take the person back to the Metropolitan Police Department to record a formal confession.

Metropolitan Police Department

"How was your visit, Takagi?" Officer Megure asked.

Takagi opened his notebook and reported on the investigation of today's visit.

"Because it is on the outskirts of the fishing area and is remote, so surveillance cannot see it, so it is very difficult to investigate. There is also a path that is not monitored at all, and I only saw messy footprints on that path, which should be where I fished on site. A few people left it, they have mentioned this before," Takagi said.

Officer Megure looked at Sato again

"Sato, have you found out the identity of the deceased?"

"The forensic doctor said that the deceased was a woman with a bone age of 35-40 years old and a height of 1.65 meters. However, it is difficult to estimate the time of death because the bones were examined and found to have been soaked in chemicals. However, among all the missing people, we found that there was one person with this person. The bones match, but further confirmation is needed to know whether they are the same person," said Officer Sato.

Officer Megure thought for a while and then asked

"Who's the name of that matching person?"

"We found among the missing persons that a woman named Sayuri Nakayama matches the skeleton," Takagi replied.

Officer Megure looked at the two and motioned for them to continue.

"Sayuri Nakayama, 35 years old, disappeared two months ago. She was a researcher for a pharmaceutical company. Two months ago, the company went to her house to look for her because she had been absent from work for several days, but could not find her. Later, the company general manager Fujiwara Sakuno reports the crime.” Officer Sato responded to Officer Megure’s question.

"Takagi went to the police station in her community to collect information on Sato. Let's go to her house to have a look." After giving the order, Officer Megure took Sato to Sayuri's house in Zhongshan.

Not long ago, several people gathered at Sayuri's house in Zhongshan

"Did you enter the room to check that day?" Officer Megure asked the police officer who was brought along by Takagi.

"We found the homeowner that day and opened it to check, but found nothing unusual, so we finally left," the police officer said.

Officer Megure stroked his chin

"Contact the landlord and bring the keys. We need to go in and check," Officer Megure told Takagi.

"Yes" Takagi left here immediately

Not long after, Takagi brought a middle-aged fat woman.

"Officer Megure, this is the homeowner Mimi Maeda," Takagi introduced the woman.

Officer Megure took a good look at the fat woman in front of him

“Can you open the room?”

"Okay, okay" Maeda Meimei immediately opened the door and let a few people in.

The room was clean and tidy, but it was packed with dust because no one had lived there for a long time. After a few people searched the house carefully, they found a card in the middle of a jewelry box.

"Officer Megure, look" Takagi handed the card to Officer Megure

"Why is it him again?" Officer Memu was confused when he saw the information on the card.

Yes, this card is from the Detective Agency of Kogoro Mori.

After a while, I couldn't find anything else in the room and left.

"Officer Megure, where are we going next?" Officer Sato asked.

"Go find him," Officer Megure said, holding the card in his hand.

Not long after, a few people arrived at the Maori Detective Agency.

"Hello, Officer Memu." Tianqing opened the door and let a few people in.

"Tianqing, where did Mouri go?" Officer Megure asked Tianqing who opened the door.

"The old man helped the client find the dog yesterday and went to deliver the goods today. Why don't you call him directly? Sister Xiao Lan will be away for the next few days for training and Conan just went to pick up the express delivery." Tian Qing reported the whereabouts of the others. I told Officer Megure while helping them pour tea.

Not long after, Kogoro Mouri returned to the office after receiving a call from Officer Megure.

"What happened to Megure?" Kogoro asked

At this time, Officer Megure directly took out the photo of Sayuri Nakayama and showed it to Kogoro.

"Brother Maori, do you recognize this woman?"

Kogoro took the photo and looked at it carefully.

"The old man is the one who came here two months ago. At that time, the aunt seemed to ask him to investigate her colleagues." Tianqing reminded Kogoro pretending to be unintentional.

"Ah, I remember that woman, but after she came to me to investigate, the balance has not been paid, and I can't find her now even if I try to find her! I wasted more than a month in vain." Kogoro was angry when he mentioned that woman.

After looking at Kogoro's endless chatter, Officer Mumu interrupted him directly, otherwise he didn't know when it would end.

"Did something happen? Officer Megure?" Conan seemed to notice something unusual.

Officer Megure thought for a while and told Kogoro Mori about the discovery of the bones.

"You mean you found a set of bones this morning and now you suspect they are Sayuri Nakayama?" Mouri Kogoro's eyes widened.

After hearing this answer, Conan and Tianqing looked at each other.

"Brother Maori, can you tell me now what Sayuri Nakayama asked you to investigate?" Officer Megure asked.

Mouri Kogoro thought for a while and said what he wanted to investigate.

"She came to me that day because she wanted me to help investigate a researcher in her company. She suspected that the researcher secretly added harmful chemicals to the newly researched product. She said that if it was true, this product must not be put on the market." Mao Li Kogoro said

Officer Megure, Takagi and Sato looked at each other

"Who is the person she wants to investigate?" Officer Megure asked.

"It seems so." Mouri Kogoro hasn't finished speaking yet.

"Hideki Maeda" Conan answers questions

At this time, Kogoro gave him a fist directly

"It hurts!" Conan rolled over holding his head

"Why is the name Hideki Maeda so familiar?" A familiar feeling flashed through Officer Megure's mind.
