“Oh, I remember now,” Xiaolan suddenly said. “When I called his mother just now, she told me that they would go to see a person named Nanchuan first.”
"Nanchuan?" Uncle Mori felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.
“Yes, if I remember correctly, that person’s name is Nanakawa. I think he used to be Kazuha’s father’s subordinate, Director Toyama’s subordinate,” Ran recalled. “Now he seems to be working at a detective agency in Tokyo.”
Upon hearing "detective agency," Uncle Mori suddenly remembered: "Could it be Mr. Kusukawa from Beika Detective Agency?"
"Hey, Dad, do you know him?" Xiaolan nodded and said, "It looks like him."
"Just a coincidence," Uncle Mori said, tilting his head back and recalling the events. "Horse racing, car racing, boat racing... he's basically a man who loves gambling."
"Then why did Heiji go to see Mr. Kusukawa?" Kōyū asked, stroking his chin. "Could it be because Kazuha's father needs to see Mr. Kusukawa, but it's inconvenient for him to come to Tokyo, so he asked Heiji and the others to go and help him out?"

At this moment, Ai tugged at Kousuke's sleeve and whispered, "I have a feeling it's not that simple. There's a generational gap among them. Logically speaking, even if they were to talk, they wouldn't talk for that long."
After thinking for a moment, Guangyou nodded in agreement and said:
"Detective agency... I have a feeling that Heiji is involved in some kind of case."
"If Mr. Nanchuan has also disappeared, then my guess will be confirmed."
