Onuma took two steps forward and looked at the cloth strip in the gap of the stool. "When I left yesterday, there was no such cloth strip here."
Takagi Wataru put on his gloves, took the hat Mitsuhiko handed him, looked down and looked through it, "It seems that not only the man named Wannian, but also Mr. Iwabuchi who was killed has been here..."
"I think they came together!" Chiba and Nobu walked into the house from outside the door.
"Chiba?" Takagi Wataru was surprised and turned to greet Chiba and Nobu.
"I have investigated and found that the deceased, Mr. Iwabuchi Shou, had a very close senior." Chiba Kazanobu walked up to Takagi Wataru, took out a photo from the inner pocket of his coat, and held it up to show Takagi Wataru.
Chi Fei belatedly saw Yuesui Nanatsuki coming up to look out of curiosity, and followed him to the side, looking at the photo.
It was a photo of a couple together.
The man on the left side of the photo is short and stocky. He is the deceased Iwabuchi Shou. He is wearing today's light yellow suit and a light brown hat on his head.
The man on the right side of the photo is tall and thin, more than a head taller than Iwabuchi Haru. He is wearing the same style and color suit as Iwabuchi Haru, and even the light brown hat on his head is the same.
Looking at such a combination of one tall and one short, he would always think of two lung cancer reserve members in the organization.
"This is Mr. Iwabuchi Shou on the left," Takagi Wataru pointed to the person on the left in the photo, and soon moved his finger to the person on the right, "Then the person next to him is..."
"This taller man's name is Wannian Tasatsuo," Chiba Kazunobu introduced. "It can be said that he is the eldest brother with whom Mr. Iwabuchi has a close relationship."
The three children noticed the tall man's name and exclaimed, "Ten thousand years?!"
Chiba Kazuno continued to Takagi Wataru with a serious face, "Moreover, when these two people went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner yesterday, the boss asked them to settle the previous bill. Wan Niandao said that the money they owed the boss would be settled today. Qing, Iwabuchi Shouya said that they have a plan to make a profit without losing money, and they will make a lot of money soon... So last night, they must have sneaked into this research institute to find something valuable to sell."
"Speaking of which..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the two people in the photo, "Who are they? Are they members of a violent club?"
"According to our investigation, the two of them work for a credit company called Daizo Financial Corporation," Chiba Kazunobu said seriously. "That credit company has high-interest loan business. To the outside world, they are all employees of the company, but in fact they are the company's employees." The collection staff here are responsible for collecting debts owed.”
Chi Feichi retracted his gaze from the photo.
Is it really Taizo Financial Corporation...
That company has been very unlucky recently.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki had heard about the methods of those informal credit companies. When Chiba Kazuno said this, he knew that the two of them were not much different from members of some violent societies. They were all people who relied on intimidation and other methods to contribute to the group. "They must have offended many people, right?"
Chiba and Shin nodded, "The two of them often chase people to collect debts. They usually participate in activities such as horse racing and overseas sports betting. Occasionally, they also associate with violent gang members and bosozoku, and even associate with bad guys in school. The teenagers are connected, and the interpersonal relationships are very complicated. I can’t find out at the moment, but I think they have offended many people.”
"But judging from the current situation, this incident looks more like an internal conflict, right?" Takagi Wataru sorted out his thoughts, "The two of them told people yesterday that they would make a lot of money, and they came here together last night. Later, Iwabuchi was found dead on the river bank. The murder weapon was held down by the flying disk that was supposed to be placed here. Wan Nian did not call the police... But if Wan Nian was the prisoner, why did he attack his younger brother? Woolen cloth?"
"And in order to make a lot of money, they chose to come here to break into the void when Dr. Onuma was not here..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked around, "Although it's a bit rude to say this, it doesn't look like they are here. The goal is that the flying disk has not been completed yet, so it may not be able to be sold for a good price."
"It's not like I don't have valuable things here. There is obviously a valuable treasure!" Onuma Masaru spoke in a loud voice and pointed at the wall.
A group of people followed Masazo Onuma's fingers and saw a calligraphy work on the wall.
The hanging scroll is more than one meter long. In the white area in the middle is written vertically the ink characters of "飞ばすぜUFOCosmoまで". There are also golden piping on both sides. It looks quite delicate, but the ink characters can only be regarded as neat, unlike those There is still a big difference between works written by people with strong calligraphy skills.
"This is the calligraphy and painting I bought at the end of last month," Onuma Masazo happily walked to the hanging scroll. "After all, this is a work handwritten by a famous calligrapher and painter. It cost me 50,000 yuan!"
"Fifty thousand yuan?!"
The three children were a little surprised.
Genta calculated how many portions of eel rice that was in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion that it was quite a lot.
Conan laughed inwardly.
If it is really a famous work, the purchase price of 50,000 yuan is really not enough. If you can buy it, you will get a huge bargain.
However, there are no famous works that would have the words "UFO flying into the universe" written on them, right? Dr. Onuma was definitely deceived!
Onuma Shozo smiled proudly, "The other person said that this thing is very suitable for me, so he gave it to me at a very cheap price. It was sold by a gentleman named Ozo... Hahaha!"
"Ozo..." Chiba Kazanobu confirmed to Onuma Shozo in surprise, "Is it Ozo Kinji who sold this to you?"
Onuma Shozo didn't know why Chiba Kazushi was so excited, and nodded doubtfully, "Ah, that's right."
"Ozo Kinji? I remember that it was for financing loans..." Takagi Wataru had heard of Ozo Kinji's name. Thinking about it, his eyes widened and he turned to Chiba Kazunobu to confirm, "Chiba, Ozo Kinji Isn't Zhi the president of Dazang Financial Corporation you just mentioned?"
Chiba and Nobu nodded seriously, "Yes, Iwabuchi and Wannian are the collection workers employed by Ozo Kinji!"
Takagi Wataru sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect them to be Dazang's subordinates!"
Conan asked doubtfully, "Is that gentleman named Dazang a very troublesome person?"
"Yes, he is suspected of tax evasion." Takagi Wataru looked down at Conan and told the truth about the situation of Osaka Jinji. "I heard that he had hidden hundreds of millions of dollars in assets at home. At the beginning of this month, the IRS even came to him. A thorough search of the residence was conducted, but the location of his hidden assets was never found.”
Onuma Shozo looked at the hanging scroll and sighed with some disappointment, "That Mr. Ozo... is that kind of person?"
Chiba Kazushin frowned and said, "He is a greedy money slave. He even said that money under one million yuan is not qualified to be called money."
"By the way, Mr. Ozo was in the news some time ago, right?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki thought about it, "The report mentioned that he was under investigation by the tax authorities. After that, many people discussed him in the Tokyo area forum. , it is said that his company also deceives others into making financial investments, and transfers other people’s investment money into their own pockets through some means. Many of the people who were defrauded were elderly people or housewives who had some savings. After those people lost all their money, After pensions and family reserves, the salesmen of his company instigated those people to take out high-value loans. It is a well-known black-hearted credit company, but because there was no evidence of illegal operations by their company, there was nothing they could do against him."
The three children frowned.
Ayumi sighed in a low voice, "That person named Dazang is actually so bad..."
"Could it be that Mr. Ozo regretted selling the hanging scroll to Dr. Onuma, so he sent them here last night to get the hanging scroll back?" Mitsuhiko guessed, "As for the big money they talked about yesterday, maybe they were just for fun. Let them check out the Japanese restaurant owners.”
"No..." Takagi Wataru said, "Ozo Kinji died the day before yesterday because of a traffic accident."
"However, Ozo Kinji sold the hanging scroll to Dr. Onuma. After Ozo Kinji died in a traffic accident, Iwabuchi and Wannian sneaked into the institute. I don't think this is a coincidence," Nanatsuki Koshimiu walked to the hanging scroll. , looked at the hanging scroll up and down, and analyzed carefully, "And a person like Dazang would go to great lengths to prepare a calligraphy work for 50,000 yuan? In his opinion, 50,000 yuan is probably not worth his expense. What are you thinking? Maybe there is a deeper reason why he sold this hanging scroll to Dr. Onuma..."
Chi Fei saw that Koshikoshi Nanatsuki had hit the point, and reminded him, "For example... before being investigated by the IRS, Dazang wanted to transfer the privately hidden wealth, so he left a certain key on the hanging scroll. We sold the hanging scroll to Dr. Onuma for only 50,000 yuan."
Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up, "So, did Iwabuchi and Wannian come here last night just to find clues to the wealth?"
"Yes, then what they said in the Japanese restaurant yesterday and their behavior of breaking into the empty door last night make sense," Wataru Takagi agreed enthusiastically and looked at Shozo Onuma, "Dr. Onuma was last time I bought the hanging scroll at the end of this month, but the IRS only came to Ozo’s home to investigate at the beginning of this month. It’s entirely possible that Ozo transferred that wealth and then hid the key in the hanging scroll to Dr. Onuma!”
"That……"
As soon as Chiba and Nobu opened their mouths, their voices were drowned out by the excited children.
"Okay! Let's investigate this hanging scroll carefully." Yuantai rolled up his sleeves and rushed in front of the hanging scroll. "This may be the key to the treasure location!"
Mitsuhiko also walked forward quickly and turned to talk to Ayumi excitedly, "Officer Takagi just said that Mr. Ouzang has several hundred million in money, right? After we find it, can we also share it? What about a little?"
Takagi was sweating, worried that the children would damage the hanging scroll, so he stepped forward anxiously, "Wait, wait a minute..."
Before the three children could reach the hanging scroll, they were blocked by Chi Feichi who took a step forward.
Chi Feichi leaned over to support Yuantai, who almost hit his leg. After Yuantai regained his balance, he let go of his hand, "This may be important evidence. You can take a look here."
Conan followed unhurriedly, and when he saw the three children being stopped by Chi Feichi, he was not surprised at all. He stopped obediently and looked up at Nanatsuki Yuesui to check the hanging scroll.
"But..." Genta reluctantly pointed in the direction of the hanging scroll, "Why can Sister Nanatsuki just look at it?"
"Because she is a detective representative." Chi Feichi replied without changing his expression. He took out a pair of medical gloves from his pocket and handed them to Koshizu Nanatsuki.
Three children: "..."
It sounds reasonable, but...
Conan: "..."
When did they elect representatives?
