Hearing that the other party praised him more than once as a famous detective, Mori Kogoro's vanity was greatly satisfied by Okawa Gehui's praise.

The mustache detective bent his eyes and scratched his hair: "Hahaha, don't worry, with my detective Mori Kogoro here, I will definitely find the culprit who sent the letter for you!"

"..." Conan Edogawa, who was sitting diagonally across from him, watched Mouri Kogoro exaggerating with half-moon eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: If he was the only one, it would be a flower if he was not sure. Even in the last week, it may not be possible to find someone out.

but......

I thought of a few exceptionally capable police officers in Nagano Prefecture, including Yamato Kansuke, Mofuku Takaaki, and Uehara Yui.

"Hey, Mr. Okawa, haven't you thought about calling the police and asking the police to assist you in investigating the threatening letter?"

One month is not long or short, and since Da Chuan Ge Hui has dark circles under his eyes, it doesn't make sense for him to only pin his hopes on them, a group of people who came here from Tokyo.

and......

Edogawa Conan thoughtfully recalled what Okawa Gehui said just now.

If the force value was not specified at the beginning because he only needed a large number of them to support the scene, but if Cao Mangxun really wanted to attack Okawa Gehui, wouldn't the final direction of the matter turn into a violent conflict?

On the contrary, if Da Chuan Ge Hui was sure that Cao Mang Xun would only have a verbal argument with him, then he wouldn't toss and turn until he couldn't sleep and develop dark circles under his eyes.

The mental state shown by Dachuan Ge Hui is not consistent with what he said, so - there must be something else wrong with this matter!

"To tell you the truth." Okawa Ge Hui didn't ignore Edogawa Conan because he was a child after hearing the words. The black-haired man with fine wrinkles on his forehead lowered his head and explained helplessly: "Because of this kind of If the conflict between neighbors that did not cause actual harm is brought to the local police station, maybe it will intensify his belief in wanting to do something to me. It is also because of this that I have chosen to entrust you to privately It's settled."

"But it's just your personal judgment, isn't it?" Jiang Gu Ling folded his hands under his chin and retorted in disapproval: "What if the person who sent you the letter was not Tatsuya Kusanagi but someone else?"

As a public security policeman, the first time he hears that citizens encounter problems is not to call the police, but to solve them privately.It is undeniable that Jiang Gu Ling was full of anger and confusion.

"Then maybe I can only..." Da Chuan Ge Hui murmured in frustration, "Maybe this is fate..."

Furutani Rei's approach and Okawa Ge Hui's retreat made the atmosphere on the table suddenly low and awkward.

Mori Kogoro, who couldn't see it anymore, acted as a peacemaker and coughed lightly, "Okay, Amuro, don't be so aggressive. This thing hasn't happened yet, is there room for everything!"

Mori Kogoro tugged at his collar, stood up with his hands on his hips, and said from the channel: "And since he has chosen me to take over this case with such discernment, then of course we cannot disappoint Mr. Okawa!"

Mori Kogoro stretched his hands high, and offered to go to the scene to see, "Time is urgent, I can't wait to show my skills!"

"Although I'm very happy to hear that you think so, but..." Okawa Ge Hui scratched his cheek in embarrassment. "Because time has passed for a long time, and the earliest time was three days ago, so I'm afraid there are no traces left. But..." He suddenly clenched his fists with excitement, "According to the other party's past Sending letters regularly, at ten o'clock tonight, he will definitely come again."

Hearing this, the rest of the people looked at each other left and right.

"Then I'll come back at ten o'clock in the evening to guard the scene." Akai Shuichi stood up first and left the table.

He patted the bag on his shoulder and explained, "There are too many things on my body now, it may not be convenient."

"I'll reconsider!" Suzuki Sonoko held his chin in one hand and raised the other hand high, "And didn't the uncle just say that too long time has passed, maybe he disappeared long ago. Although I, Suzuki Sonoko, is also a great detective , but I can't find anything in a place where there are no traces~"

"Then how many people are left?" Da Chuan Ge Hui was not angry, but just stood there smiling and asked the remaining three people.

Mao Lilan hesitated and couldn't be sure, Jiang Gu Ling and Edogawa Conan replied at the same time after looking at each other. "I'll be with Mori-sensei." / "Me too!"

Jiang Gu Ling rhythmically tapped the wooden table with his index finger and analyzed, "Even if the traces of the scene have dissipated, we may not be able to speculate on the possible location tonight based on the place where the letter was delivered before."

Edogawa Conan cooperated and continued: "I think so too!"

"In that case, Sanhe Er, Xiaolan, why don't you go rest with Sonoko and the others." Mori Kogoro pursed his lips as if thinking. "Anyway—even if you stay here, you won't be able to detect any clues, and you may carelessly destroy the original traces." He joked wickedly.

"Father!" Even if Mori Kogoro told the truth, it still caused Mao Lilan's displeasure.

The black-haired girl blushed and stomped her feet and complained: "Please don't say such things with such an indifferent face!"

"Ahahaha..." Seeing that the father and daughter looked like they were about to quarrel, Dachuan Gehui squinted his eyes leaving a drop of cold sweat, and smiled to ease the atmosphere: "There are enough people left now, Ms. Lan should follow your father's advice and go back to rest early. It's tiring to drive all the way just to sit, and Mr. Maori is also concerned about you."

"Right, right, right!" Knowing that Okawa Ge Hui was speaking for him, Mori Kogoro immediately lost sight of his smiling eyes, and without a trace, he took Okawa Ge Hui's shoulders and led him away.

"Mr. Okawa's words are really great! In fact, this is exactly what I want to express."

Looking back, Mori Kogoro turned around and added: "Okay, okay, you guys should go to the hotel that you have booked in advance to rest. Mr. Okawa can leave it to us~ Oh yes, I almost forgot to ask. Mr. Okawa, did you find out that the location of the letter paper is this way?"

"Haha...not..." It's not good to brush Mao Li Xiaowu's face, Okawa Ge Hui smiled awkwardly and nodded in the opposite direction: "Actually...I am Received it there."

Mori Kogoro paused, looked at the ceiling with a guilty conscience, and said stiffly, "Oh yeah, actually, I just wanted to see the decoration on the front desk. The cartoon characters on it are pretty good~"

Immediately, as if nothing had happened, Mori Kogoro took Okawa Gehui around again, passing by the table where everyone was still sitting.He waved to the two people who were still sitting indifferently in their seats: "Amuro, Conan, why are you still sitting there stupidly? Hurry up and follow!"

"..."

Mori Kogoro's social behavior left the rest of his companions speechless for a while.

After a while, Edogawa Conan jumped off the chair, and while following up, he tugged on the sleeve of Rei Furutani, quietly exchanging information.

Uncle Mao Li can't be counted on, but the excellent intelligence worker beside him is still trustworthy.

"Hey, Mr. Amuro, you also noticed the loopholes in Okawa Kazushi's language, right?"

"Yes." Jiang Guling glanced at the two talking and laughing people in front of him, and responded in a low voice: "After all, the first reaction of a normal person after receiving such a threatening letter must be to think of calling the police. Find the culprit."

Oh, right.Thinking of something, Jiang Gu Ling paused, quickly turned around and walked under a table next to the door, and picked up Kamihara Yoichi who was still playing with Harrow.

"I took Yizi because he only wanted to be touched by me. As for Haro...Miss Suzuki, can I trouble you to take care of this kid for a while?"

There were three people and one dog missing in the team, and the activity area of ​​the few remaining people in the restaurant became larger.

Dachuan Ge Hui led a group of people to the back kitchen first, pointed to the half-opened glass window and said: "The place where the first time I found the envelope was by the glass window of the back kitchen. It happened that the front shop was closed at that time, I think Come back and sort out the materials, and during the sorting process, I saw the letter paper stuffed here."

In order to restore the situation at that time, Dachuan Ge Hui specially re-enacted how he entered the door, and how he looked up out of the window when he was in a hurry.

"Because the first time I thought it was just a prank, so I didn't pay attention or prepared, which led to the next second, third and fourth times, I received threatening letters at this location .”

Jiang Gu Ling hugged the cat and walked to Okawa Gehui, stood at the position he pointed at just now, leaned out half of his body, and looked outside.

The back kitchen of the restaurant is on the first floor, and there is a dark alley outside.

The entrance of the small alley is not far from Dachuan Gehui's shop. Although there are no sundries inside, it is also slightly dark under the cover of tall trees on one side.

If someone delivered a letter from here, then as long as someone was present at the time and looked outside casually, he could immediately spot the shadow of the messenger.

The height of the window sill is not high.

Inside, it is the national standard of 0.9 meters.

In addition, including the height of the foundation, it is about 1.3 meters.

——At this height, whether it is an adult or an underage child, it is easy to stuff the letter paper into the half-open window.

"According to what you said, the threatening letters are sent in every three days. How many times after that? If my analysis is not wrong, you should have received 5 to 6 other letters so far, right? " Jiang Gu Ling asked.

"Yes, you guessed right, there are indeed five other letters." Dachuan Ge Hui replied, and then he took him to the rest room next door, pointing to the window there, and explained: "The country next door has There is an idiom that says, "There are no more than three things," and it is not advisable to do the same thing three times. Therefore, after receiving the letter for the third time, doubts gradually arose in my heart."

"But I had a second thought, even if it was a prank, it should stop here. Therefore, on the fourth time, I still opened the window in the back kitchen for ventilation. But it turns out that I was wrong at the time Yes, because the fourth time, I still received the same threatening letter in the same place. So, the fifth time, I not only closed the window, but also turned off the light and hid under the cabinet in the back kitchen , wanting to sit on the sidelines to see who is going too far, stuffing threatening letters into it time and time again."

"But at that time, I have been squatting here for more than half an hour and no one came. I thought the other party had given up, so I thought about going back to the rest room to lie flat for a while, and relax my old waist. Who knows, the new Although the threatening letter did not appear in the back kitchen, it is like a prophet, not only aware of my plan in advance, but also appeared on the door of the rest room!"

Okawa Gehui sighed, pointed at the crack of the door and pointed at the window.

"I kept the windows closed in this room because I was afraid that the things stored in the rest room might be stolen. After that, it was even more troublesome because I was the only one working in the store. , so no matter where I choose to squat, the mysterious messenger can always detect my thoughts and avoid me to send in threatening letters. So, the sixth letter is on the kitchen floor, and the seventh letter is on the table in the cafeteria Now, the eighth letter was put in the front desk drawer, as for the ninth letter..."

Speaking of this, Da Chuan Ge Hui took a shivering breath: "The ninth letter was delivered to the bedside table in my bedroom."
