"This is because there's someone he absolutely doesn't want to lose who's also involved in the investigation of this murder case."
Yui Uehara made a "hush" gesture and looked at Tang Ze behind Conan, asking him to help keep it a secret.
"So that person is also a criminal?" After hearing what Uehara Yui said, Tang Ze almost guessed who it was.
"Yes, but that person is different from the detective in our Nagano headquarters. He is a detective from the Shinno Police Station who is in charge of this area." Yui Uehara explained in a low voice.
"But if it's the criminals in this jurisdiction, there's no need to compete with the criminals in the local headquarters, right?" Conan said in surprise. "I thought this kind of competition only happened between different regions."
"Because that person is Agan's classmate since elementary school."
Uehara Yui stole a glance at Yamato Gansuke and chuckled, "It seems like no matter what the matter is, the two of them want to compete with each other.
Not only did that person graduate from Kyoto University's Faculty of Law with top honors, he also joined the Prefectural Police Headquarters as a non-civil servant without even taking the civil service exam.
Because of this case, he was transferred to the Xinye Police Station, but I heard he's a weirdo."
"So, you are all colleagues from the Nagano Prefecture headquarters?" Conan said suddenly.
Uehara Yui covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "Agan always gets excited when he meets her, because it seems like she never wins over him.
By the way, that person, like Agan, also has a name that sounds like a military advisor~"
If you know the history of Neon, you will know that this name is basically pronounced the same as Yamamoto Kansuke, the military advisor of Takeda Shingen, so there is nothing wrong with what Uehara Yui said.
"Hey, Uehara!"
Yamato Gansuke seemed to have heard what Uehara Yui had said secretly, and suddenly shouted to interrupt her: "Get ready, we are going in."
"yes!"
After all, Yamato Gansuke was still his superior. When Uehara Yui heard this, she immediately straightened her attitude and responded very cleanly and neatly.
The group walked into the villa and found that it was indeed very large.
"Let me tell you why this place was called Hope Annex before."
Yamato Gansuke walked up the stairs and said, "This villa was originally built by a wealthy man.
He rented this old house, almost for free, to young people he admired who had talent but little money.
So they can stay here until their dreams come true.”
"Is there such a thing? That rich man really values talent." Maori Kogoro sighed and asked, "What's the current situation of that rich man?"
"He used to come back occasionally, but not long after he completed the formalities for handing over the annex to the younger generation, he died of illness."
Uehara Yui said with a hint of regret, "And those young people also moved out of this annex after two or three years when they were able to support themselves.
It started about five or six years ago, and the only people living in this place are a couple who met and got married here that year.”
"Hey, Uehara, take out the photos of the people who used to live here and show them."
Yamato Gansuke shouted as he slowly walked upstairs.
Uehara Yui nodded and pulled out a stack of photos from the file bag in her hand: "These are the six people."
Tang Ze took the photo and saw a man with glasses and long hair at the top.
According to Yui Uehara's introduction, he is the illustrator, Shusaku Akashi.
The second photo shows a man in a suit with a mustache. He is currently an actor named Suikawa Naoki.
The third one is Aoi Kobashi, a girl with short hair.
The fourth person is a fashion designer named Yamabuki Shoji, who has a middle-parted hairstyle and a slightly curled mustache on both sides. By the way, his hair is also curly due to the middle part, which really gives him a Tony-like vibe.
The fifth person is the CG creator Takuto Momose, who is a rough man with a beard.
As for the last one, he is the blond-haired Naoki Shiro, a musician.
"ah..."
Maori Kogoro took the photos from Karasawa's hand and flipped through them one by one. He looked at the faces of the six people and frowned as he recalled, "I seem to have heard of these names somewhere, but I also seem to have not heard of them..."
"Come to think of it, I've been a little curious since just now."
Xiaolan, who was standing nearby, finished looking at the photos and then the irregular paper squares on the gate next to her and said, "These doors look like they have traces of colored paper that was pasted on and then torn off."
"Ah, those should be differentiated by color."
Conan said, "I think it's probably because they put colored paper on the door to mark the room."
"Because there are 6 people, these names all have pronunciations of colors?" Tang Ze rubbed Conan's dog head with a smile, his eyes full of warning.
Feeling the force above his head and the gaze from Tang Ze, Conan smiled awkwardly.
I almost got carried away again, and couldn't help myself when I encountered a puzzle...
"I see!"
But this little hint was enough, Xiaolan immediately realized: "Then Mr. Akashi must be red!
Mr. Cuichuan is green."
"That's what I mean." Uehara Yui smiled and said, "Ms. Kokubashi is blue, and Mr. Yamabuki Shoji is yellow."
"Takuto Momose is pink, and Shiro Naoki is white." Kogoro Mori deciphered the colors in the names of the last two people.
"But you're worthy of being a disciple of Detective Tang Ze. You understood it right away." Uehara Yui praised: "That's amazing!"
