After Okiya Subaru finished speaking to Conan, he touched his chin again seriously, as if thinking, "This happened just now. I always felt that I would not be able to calm down if I stayed here any longer, so I planned to check out and go back early. Now look Come on, it’s more peaceful to live in your own place..."
Subtext: There are no clues here. I'm going to evacuate. I'm also taking care of things at home. There's no danger. Don't worry!
Conan understood the meaning of Subaru Okiya's words, turned around to make sure no one was approaching, and then frowned and said, "I also heard Uncle Kogoro mention the disappearance of Mr. Charles. I heard that around ten o'clock last night , Mr. Charles was still having a video conference with people from the American company, and as of lunch time this morning, he had not gone to the restaurant again, indicating that the time when he disappeared was probably after 11 o'clock last night and to 11 o'clock this morning. Mr. Subaru and Mr. Charles lived on the same floor before. Did you notice anything special during these twelve hours?"
"Well... I also told the police," Subaru Okiya said softly. Feeling that it was inconvenient to lean over all the time, he simply squatted in front of Conan and continued with narrowed eyes, "The suite where Mr. Charles lives is in the corridor. Deep down, the room I live in is the second room at the entrance of the corridor. The elevator is in the middle of our rooms, relatively close to my room, and the stair exit is also on the side close to my room..."
Conan knew that Subaru Okiya wanted to be more detailed with him, so he sorted out his thoughts and looked at Subaru Okiya with a more solemn look.
In other words, the occupancy situation of Mr. Subaru and Mr. Charles on that floor is 'Mr. Charles - Elevator - Mr. Subaru - Stairs'. Based on the room Mr. Subaru is staying in, he should be able to observe people entering and exiting the elevator and stairs. Condition.
"The time I checked into the hotel was around six o'clock in the afternoon. After taking a shower, I sat in the room and used the computer, but it was not quiet outside." Subaru Okiya tried his best to tell Conan the situation. "At around seven o'clock, I stayed in The couple diagonally across from Mr. Charles came down from the elevator. They were talking and laughing so loudly that I could hear it in the room. I even went to the door to look through the peephole, but they quickly entered the room..."
"Then there was a gentleman who lived next door to me. It was about nine o'clock in the evening. He drank too much and was supported by two men when he came back from the stairs. There was also a lady behind him. They made a lot of noise. I I also looked at the door and heard them say that the gentleman who lived next door was the director of their company and was divorcing his wife. It seemed that he had been staying in the hotel for three days. Because he was in a bad mood, he went to have a drink with them. The reason why I went back to the room by the stairs after drinking was because they heard the wrong floor when they sent the gentleman back, so they took the elevator upstairs, and then just took the stairs down..."
"It's worth noting that after 11pm, I was getting ready to go to bed when I suddenly heard the sound of high heels outside..."
As he said that, Subaru Okiya calmly apologized for his surveillance behavior. This was also what he had said to the police before, "Because I didn't expect the hotel to be so noisy. I was a little neurasthenic from being annoyed during the day, so I couldn't sleep for a while. , I went to the door and looked out through the peephole. Passing by the door was a young and beautiful lady. It seemed to be Miss Nishikawa Natsuki, the winner of the previous two Miss Japanese beauty contests. Because she was so beautiful, I was impressed. It’s quite profound…”
When Conan heard about the 'Miss Japanese Beauty Contest', his eyelids twitched. He did not cooperate with Subaru Okiya's performance of 'an ordinary graduate student who is a bit out of touch and can't grasp the key points'. He asked anxiously, "Then what? That Miss Nishikawa is like this too?" Are you a guest of the hotel?”
"No, I told the police who came to investigate today. The police asked the hotel and found that she was not a guest of the hotel. Do you think there is something wrong with Miss Nishikawa?" Subaru Okiya didn't sell it anymore, "I think so too. , because she seemed to have knocked on Mr. Charles’s door last night, and the door opened at that time, so I think she was the last person to see Mr. Charles and the bodyguard.”
"It's already so late, and she still goes to see Mr. Charles, don't you think it's strange?" Conan said he didn't understand, looked around, and complained in a low voice, "You knew in advance that Mr. Charles would be in trouble, right? ?Then why not stop Miss Nishikawa or give Mr. Charles some early warning signals?"
Subaru Okiya raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, his expression as calm and casual as if someone had nothing to do with gossip, "You may not understand what I say, but that may be very strange behavior for children, but it is very strange for adults. Not necessarily, this kind of thing is indeed possible..."
Conan reacted and looked at Subaru Okiya speechlessly.
He already knows, please don't use 'kid' to deliberately mock him.
However, since Mr. Subaru knew in advance that Mr. Charles would be in trouble, he should be more vigilant during this special period and not let anyone suspicious pass by.
Even if it’s not strange for girls to come to your door late at night, that’s not a reason to let it go, right?
"What's more..." While squatting in front of Conan, Okiya Subaru leaned forward, lowered his head and leaned close to Conan's ear. The left eye close to Conan's face opened, revealing the cold and sharp green pupil like a snake's eye. , whispered, "Charles has been working for the organization in the past few years. He is considered a member of the organization."
Conan was shocked and stunned, "W-what?"
Okiya Subaru narrowed his eyes again, and also distanced himself from Conan, but his expression was much more serious than before, and his voice was still very soft, "Before coming to Japan, I had doubts about him, but it's a pity that I didn't The evidence proves that he is connected to the organization. Until recently, an assassin of an organization who was connected to him failed to assassinate him. After being arrested by the police, he committed suicide on the road..."
"Is the killer you are talking about the popular singer Ami Lin?" Conan asked quickly.
Okiya Subaru was stunned for a moment and looked at Conan carefully, "Speaking of Amirin being captured, that matter seems to have something to do with you..."
"Don't worry, no one will notice me," Conan explained, then frowned, "Mr. Charles is the head of the film and television company, and Amilin is a singer who debuted in the United States. There is indeed something between them. We have many opportunities to contact each other, and we can often cooperate to carry out tasks.”
"No, Charles might just be responsible for introducing people to the entertainment industry and providing some resources. I doubted him at first because he has a good relationship with Sharon Wynyard and Chrissy Wynyard," Subaru Okiya said with an expression. He said softly and calmly, "Belmod cannot play two people at the same time. In order not to make people wonder why mother and daughter did not spend time together, when she was Sharon, she announced early on that she had a bad relationship with her daughter Chris. Many people think that Sharon is completely unwilling to take care of her daughter, and Chris seems to be so rebellious that she doesn't care how her mother is doing. However, Chris is still developing very well in the film and television industry. She was able to become famous in one fell swoop. Charles’ help! The first movie Kris starred in was a movie invested by Charles. Later, when Kris was revealed to be Sharon’s daughter, Charles said in an interview that he and Sharon have been friends for many years, even though Sharon and Sharon He has a bad relationship with his daughter Chris, but he believes that is temporary. When faced with his friend's daughter, he can't help but take more care of him. Besides, Chris is very good at acting and has an acting talent that is not inferior to that of his mother, Sharon. He was happy that he had discovered a bright pearl..."
Conan: "..."
Being able to tell all the contents of the original interview, it seems that Mr. Akai has really been eyeing Charles for a long time, and he probably paid attention to it to the extent of digging out all the videos of other people's public appearances and watching them repeatedly.
"According to our understanding, Charles doesn't even take care of his and his ex-wife's daughter. The only people who can make him take care of him so much are either actresses who have had an unknown relationship with him, or there are interests involved in both parties," Subaru Okiya continued. , "After learning that Chrissy Wynyard was just a woman who had changed her identity in human skin, I really didn't think that Bellmode would let Charles take advantage of her. I wondered whether they would have money exchanges, or whether it was possible. It was Charles who was coerced by Belmode. Therefore, I secretly investigated Charles for a period of time and found that he also had contacts with some artists who were suspected of being agents of the organization. Of course, those were all artists who were exposed due to failed crimes. He usually came into contact with them. There are many artists, and I can't use this to target suspicious people, but this can at least prove that Charles may indeed be working for the organization. Later, I found that he and Belmode's several actions seemed to be vaguely related, and I was sure that he was not He is like an innocent person who has been coerced. However, I am still unable to determine his status and identity in the organization. There is even no evidence to prove that he is connected with the organization. He is a very influential and well-known figure in the United States. There is no clear indication of him. I can’t apply for further investigation until he is connected to a certain case.”
Conan listened to Subaru Okiya and sighed softly to ease the heavy emotions in his heart. He whispered, "I didn't expect that they would have so many arrangements and deploy so many people among famous people. However, Apart from you, no one else in the FBI has suspected him? Because...I was with him in the park where the music festival was held a few days ago, but I didn't find any FBI investigators nearby..."
"Logically speaking, after what happened to Amirin, someone should have suspected him and tracked and monitored him," Subaru Okiya lowered his head and thought, "I learned that Charles arrived in Japan and specially investigated him. I checked into this hotel yesterday, but I didn’t find any of our investigators nearby... Maybe it was because they had other arrangements and were confident that there would be no problems, so they were negligent. After all, before this, I don’t think Charles will disappear, I just monitor him as a member of the organization, and I am worried that he came to Japan because of some big actions of the organization..."
"So, after you found out that Miss Nishikawa went to his room in the middle of the night, you didn't say anything and just kept an eye on him secretly, right? Because what you thought of at the beginning was just to investigate and monitor, not to protect or prevent Charles from disappearing," Conan understood. Why did Ya Subaru just observe last night and frowned, "But why did Charles disappear? And the gun placed in his bodyguard's room..."
