"Sister, may I ask, are the photos of past presidents hanging on the top?"
At this time, Conan asked, pointing to the row of photos at the junction of the wall and ceiling.
"Well, that's right," the female college student nodded: "Little brother, you are very smart."
Conan said "Hmm" obediently and continued to ask about the removal of the third president's photo based on the color of the wall.
The female college student hesitated for a moment and finally told the reason: "It was because after the third president, Mr. Ito, was expelled from school, the school asked us to take down his photo in order to avoid a bad impact."
"Um...why was he kicked out of school?" Conan asked.
"Sorry, we don't know this." The female college student said.
"Is that so..." Conan held his chin, lost in thought.
Did he find any more clues?
Kuroba Kaito looked over there.
I want to ask, but I don’t feel comfortable asking.
After all, his current identity is Hakuba Detective, and with Kuroba Kaito and Conan around, his identity can easily be revealed if he acts too amateurish.
Thinking about it, he glanced at Ye Gengyi intentionally or unintentionally.
"3,4."
Ye Gengyi met his eyes and mouthed the two numbers silently.
What's this?
age? date? coordinate?
While thinking, Kuroba Kaito quickly looked around the items in the room, and finally landed on the photo wall.
Third row, fourth column.
cry's third summer study session.
I see!
After knowing that with the information he currently has, it is not convenient for him to say the name Ito Suehiko in front of these two college students or the two detectives Conan and Heiji.
Kuroba Kaito thought about his words, walked to the photo wall, pointed at someone in the photo, and asked in a relaxed tone:
"Ito...that's him, right? I remember his name was Ito Jiro."
"No, you must have mistaken the person." The female college student came over and pointed to a young man with short hair, a white shirt, and a pair of flat-rimmed glasses in the photo and said, "He is the third president, and he is not Call Ito Jiro and call Ito Suehiko.”
"Eh? It turns out it's him. It seems he's not the Ito I know."
Kuroba Kaito nodded lightly, paused and left:
"We are going to visit other parts of the school, so we won't stay and disturb you."
After meeting this pair of college students who were suspected of being a couple, they did not say the polite words "We will take you to go shopping."
The four of them followed the trend and left the crime research agency.
"Hey, you said Ito Suehiko, could he be the mysterious client hiding behind the scenes?"
In the corridor, Hattori Heiji reasoned based on the known clues, "After all, the words 'my case' he mentioned on the phone earlier made me a little concerned."
"In that case, let's investigate separately first and meet at the school playground in 10 minutes." Kuroba Kaito suggested.
"We have no choice but to do this." Conan and Heiji nodded...it would be so taboo to the school that they need to remove the club photos, so it shouldn't be difficult to investigate.
Working in pairs, both sides chose the direction of investigation and separated.
Wait until there is some distance.
Kuroba Kaito said: "Brother, what should we do next?"
"Continue to look for clues with them, and then wait for the client to call, or...after 2 hours, I will go and find him."
As Ye Gengyi spoke, he took out the pen and paper he had received from the Crime Research Society from his pocket, quickly drew two portraits and handed them over:
"Use your identity as the son of the Hakuba police chief to investigate whether these two people are Nishio Masaharu and Shimizu Reiko."
"Eh? The painting looks like it. I didn't expect you to have such a talent!" Kuroba Kaito was surprised.
(?_?)...Yes, if a certain eldest lady is willing to pay for it, I don't mind dedicating it to you as art... Ye Geng glanced at a certain strange thief, "Stop talking nonsense."
"oh oh."
Kuroba Kaito suddenly shuddered, vaguely feeling that he was being missed.
Shaking his head to get the thought out of his mind, he quickly took out his phone and took a photo of the two charcoal drawings.
the other side.
The progress of Conan and Hattori Heiji's investigation into Suehiko Ito was not as smooth as expected.
Although most students have heard of Ito Suehiko, after all, he was a senior who was dismissed from the school 7 years ago. When it comes to his current situation, no one knows anything about him.
Helpless, Hattori Heiji had no choice but to call police officer Otaki and ask him to help investigate Ito Suehiko's identity and background.
If he is really the person involved, it should be easy to investigate through the police's internal system.
Stop and go, 10 minutes have passed in the blink of an eye.
After both parties came to the playground.
Hattori Heiji looked behind Kuroba Kaito strangely and asked, "Eh? Where is Saraichi-nii?"
"He went to call a taxi." Kuroba Kaito said.
"Call... call a taxi?" Heiji and Conan looked confused.
"It's just over there at the school gate. Let's talk as we walk..."
Kuroba Kaito took the initiative to bring up the topic: "How is your investigation going?"
"Although there is no progress yet, I have asked the police I know to help me inquire."
Hattori Heiji asked: "Hey, have you already found something? Otherwise, why would Saraichi-san go outside to call for a taxi?"
"Yes, I already have a clue."
Kuroba Kaito held up the notepad in his hand and spoke straightforwardly: "Ito Suehiko is the major suspect in the cash transport truck robbery that occurred on the carriage driveway on April 4 this year. He is currently wanted by the police."
Robbed a cash truck in a carriageway? Conan's face was serious: "I see, that's why the club took down his photo."
"The most interesting thing is more than that. After he was dismissed from the school, he seemed to have received funding from a senior to open an investment consulting company called 'Far East'."
Kuroba Kaito continued: "Not long ago, a murder also occurred in the office of that company."
"What?!" Conan said in shock: "Who? Who was killed?"
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji also showed a nervous and anxious expression.
Both of them were very worried about hearing the name 'Ito Suehiko' again. If the person who died was him, then the clues they had investigated in the past few hours would be almost completely in vain.
"Nishio Masaharu."
Kuroba Kaito did not give them a knowing blow, and continued to provide clues according to Ye Gengyi's plan.
"Nishio..." Hattori Heiji's expression relaxed and he asked, "Who is that?"
"The sales director of Far East Company was said to have been killed by a rifle sniper, by the way..."
Kuroba Kaito added: "He and Ito Suehiko were classmates in college."
