A moment later, he received a reply message from Tang Ze.
[Got it. Keep gathering information. Contact me if you have any questions.]
After deleting the text message, Conan put away his phone and continued on his way.
For him, this was just an ordinary intelligence sharing, but he didn't know how big Tang Ze's reaction was after seeing this text message.
As a Ko fan, Tang Ze could not possibly forget the beginning of this major event.
As soon as he received Conan's text message, Tang Ze knew that a new storm was about to come.
After replying to Conan's text message, Tang Ze called another person.
On Conan's side, he also arrived on foot at the hometown of Anno, Kogoro Mouri's friend.
"What did you say? Did my son move!?"
After they arrived and explained their purpose and the situation, they unexpectedly found Anno's mother even more surprised than they were: "How come I didn't know!?"
"But I called before, and the other party said I dialed the wrong number," Xiaolan explained.
"That's weird. I just called him."
Anno's mother looked puzzled: "My son said he suddenly caught a cold yesterday, and I also thought his voice was strange.
Because of his illness, he had to cancel his trips for Thursday and Friday."
At this point, Mrs. Anno seemed to remember something: "By the way, I remember he said yesterday that his phone was broken, so he changed his phone number.
Is that why you didn't get through on the phone?"
"That shouldn't be the case." Xiaolan asked doubtfully, "I called Mr. Anno's landline..."
"You are Mr. Maori's daughter, right? Sorry, can we talk about this later?"
Mrs. Anno smiled apologetically and said, "I have to go to the bank urgently."
This sentence caught Conan's attention, and he quickly asked, "Auntie, I wonder if your son is in trouble and needs money urgently."
"Eh? Um...yes..." Mrs. Anno was a little surprised after hearing Conan's words, but still nodded.
"Did he also say that we shouldn't tell anyone else about this, so we shouldn't discuss it with anyone?" Conan continued to ask with a serious expression.
Mrs. Anno hesitated after hearing this, but because Conan kept saying things about her son, she didn't hesitate for too long before telling everyone everything: "To be honest, my son said that he absconded with donations from his partners.
That was originally intended to be used to develop a new business. If the debt is not remitted before today, the entire company will go bankrupt.
I originally wanted to discuss this with the child's father to see if we could come up with a solution, but my son said it would be too late."
"When he asked you to remit the money, did he tell the bank staff why you wanted to transfer so much money?" Conan asked while taking out his mobile phone with his right hand and operating it.
"Of course, that's funds needed for emergency operations of the new business," said Mrs. Anno.
"I wonder what this new business is?" Hondou Eisuke asked curiously.
"Maybe it's Rena Mizunoshi's merchandise!" Xiaolan said whimsically, "After all, he is a big fan of Rena Mizunoshi, and online shopping is also very popular."
"Hehe, this is all thanks to my brother-in-law and our Suzuki family!" Sonoko said proudly with her hands on her hips.
"Oh no, I can't chat with you guys here anymore!"
Seeing that the conversation was getting more and more enjoyable, Mrs. Anno checked the time and quickly interrupted their conversation, planning to change her shoes and go out: "My son is still waiting there, and the bank will be closing soon!
I'm so sorry, if there's anything, please wait until I get back!"
"etc!"
Conan saw Mrs. Anno's actions and quickly called out to her: "Auntie, you said before that your son canceled his originally planned trip because of a cold, right?"
"Yeah..." Mrs. Anno nodded and said, "What's wrong with that?"
"Then don't you find it strange, Auntie?"
Conan asked back: "Since he is now busy developing his new business, how can he have time to plan a trip?"
"It must be a social event, a social event!"
Upon hearing this, Sonoko was the first to jump out and refute, "So, because of this new business, he wants to take people who may take care of him in the business world on a trip."
"But didn't he say that he changed his number because his phone was broken?"
Conan looked at Sonoko, who had inherited Kogoro Maori's thinking, and was still looking for evidence to refute his claim. He sighed helplessly, "But you forgot that the phone number was changed yesterday.
Who do you think would change their phone number at such a critical juncture as starting a new business?
Wouldn’t this cause trouble to many people?”
"That's certainly true..."
Hondou Eisuke agreed and said, "Whether it's work partners or business clients, everyone must be notified.
If there is no special reason, I don't think most people would change their mobile phone numbers at this critical moment."
"Then why is this?" Xiaolan also felt strange.
"Could it be that he changed his phone number because he received harassing calls?" Sonoko guessed.
"Come to think of it, my son mentioned before that he's been getting silent phone calls lately."
After hearing what Sonoko said, Mrs. Anno seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Then his place was broken into."
