Chapter 2800 2812 [Target] Ask for monthly ticket ヽ(〃〃)~

"Is Itakura Taku actually connected to the man in black who was killed in the explosion?" Conan thought to himself:

"Could it be that this missing programmer was really targeted and kidnapped by the organization? Indeed, despite his bad character, these companies still remember him and insist on cooperating with him, and even pay a large deposit before receiving the finished product. This shows that Itakura Taku must be very capable. This does meet the requirements of the organization."

Next to him, Jiang Xia also remembered who the mushroom-headed client was referring to: "…" It was the unlucky colleague who didn't lose his ghost fetus and was accidentally killed by a passerby murderer. Calculating the time, Mr. Tequila might have been reincarnated by now.

Conan didn't expect that a seemingly ordinary case might actually involve the Black Organization. He looked at the mushroom-headed client and asked anxiously, "Do you remember what the man in black with a Kansai accent said in the office?"

"This..." Mushroom-head tried hard to recall what happened two years ago, "I arrived at Itakura Taku's company and was about to enter when I saw that burly guy walking out of the room. I'm not short, but that guy was actually two heads taller than me. At that time, I thought he was a giant.

"I was just surprised when I heard him say something vicious to Itakura Taku in the room, saying 'You are no longer useful', and then the Kansai man strode away."

Conan waited for a while, but found that there was no follow-up, so he couldn't help but ask: "What else?"

The mushroom-headed man asked in confusion, "That's it. Didn't I say, 'Then he left' - he's gone, I can't possibly chase him. That dangerous guy was speaking harsh words to Itakura Taku, not to me. I don't want to get involved in trouble for nothing."

Conan: “…” Damn, it seems that only Itakura Taku himself knows what the man in black said.

At this moment, the motivation to find Itakura Taku reached its peak.

Beside him, Jiang Xia seemed to be conscientiously solving the commission in front of him: "That tall man does sound suspicious, but since he is dead, Itakura Taku's disappearance has nothing to do with him - let's put these aside for now and start with the existing clues."

He looked down at the laptop on the table: "This video should be the location of Mr. Itakura."

The fashionable young man provided clues: "When Itakura Taku disappeared before, he always lived in a hotel. It should be the same now."

Mediterranean sighed, and he had obviously tried this before: "But in order to protect the privacy of their customers, those hotels are unwilling to help us check who is staying. And Itakura Taku is a frequent 'missing' offender, very cunning, he may just make up a fake name to register."

Jiang Xia shook his head: "As long as you use your skills well, it won't be difficult to get clues from the hotel. And you see."

He reached out, pressed the pause button, and zoomed in on the video in front of him.

The desk behind Itakura Taku appeared blurry in front of everyone - a quick glance revealed that Go, chess and shogi pieces were placed on it.

"This..." The fashionable young man was very surprised, "He actually thought about making software for us. I thought he just wanted to run away with the money."

"..." Jiang Xia looked at the easily deceived Party A, "That's not the point. The point is that Mr. Itakura is a frequent visitor to high-end hotels, and many similar hotels provide some convenient services, such as renting entertainment facilities."

The three programmers were at a loss: "This... yes, but what's the problem?"

Jiang Xia opened his phone and clicked on it, quickly finding a list of hotels.

Then he looked at the three clients, glanced at them, and pointed to the Mediterranean who seemed to have the most social experience: "This is the phone list of high-end hotels in downtown Tokyo. Call them and remember to say this when you do."

…

One minute later.

Having memorized his lines, Hai Di picked up the phone and dialed the number nervously.

Although he was a little nervous, he had been a social person for so long that when he answered the phone at the hotel front desk, he managed to calm his tone and asked with a deep breath, "Is the quality of your hotel rooms this high?"

The other party was stunned for a moment: "I'm very sorry, who are you?"

Mediterranean: "I'm the one who borrowed Go, chess and shogi from you. The landline in the room was broken just now. I couldn't dial the number to order food, so I could only call you on my mobile phone. You have to think of a solution for me!"

The other party was even more confused: "Did you call the wrong number? We don't prepare chess and shogi for our guests. Our hotel can only provide international chess."

"Oh." Hai Di nodded towards Jiang Xia, "Then I guess I dialed the wrong number. Sorry."

Having said that, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Xia handed over another number: "Next one."

Mediterranean: “…” Wait, who is the worker?

However, the voice of this young detective was indeed nothing like Itakura Taku's, so his attack would be a flaw...

Thinking about the large deposit his company had paid, Hai Di sighed and resigned himself to the next hotel.

…

Finally, when we called the third hotel, we got a different response.

"Are you Mr. Itakura from room 1714?" The receptionist was impressed by this otaku who borrowed three kinds of chess and ordered meals every day. "But didn't you check out of the hotel in anger because you encountered kidnappers a few days ago?"

"Ah? Oh." Mediterranean said inertia, "Then I remembered the wrong number."

With that he hung up the phone.

After hanging up, he suddenly realized: "Wait, what kidnappers?! Is Itakura Taku really kidnapped?"

Jiang Xia glanced at the list: "Starlight City Hotel... I remember that a few days ago, the son of a dentist was kidnapped, and the two kidnappers took the hostages to stay in this hotel.

"After the kidnappers were caught, many police officers and reporters rushed there. Perhaps Mr. Itakura felt that this was not conducive to his 'disappearance', so he changed hotels."

Conan was slightly startled: Starlight City Hotel... If I remember correctly, Amuro Toru was there at the time! And that suspicious boss followed someone to the hotel.

A thought popped into his mind: Could it be that Toru Amuro, Taku Itakura, and the unlucky man who was killed in the explosion a while ago...is there some kind of connection between these people?

Beside him, Jiang Xia was already urging the Mediterranean client like a ruthless capitalist: "To be able to get this kind of feedback means that our idea of ​​finding someone is correct. Keep looking. If you're lucky, maybe the next one will be it."

Mediterranean was like a chicken with blood pumped up, and responded excitedly: "Okay!"
