Chapter 2801-2813 [Curse of Death]
After making one call after another, finally, another front desk clerk gave feedback.
"He's in Room 2004 of the Beika Hotel!" After making an excuse to the front desk staff, he hung up the phone and felt that today's trip was worth it - he was indeed a famous detective. He sat in the detective agency without moving a step and actually caught that cunning Itakura Taku.
He clenched his fist and said, "I'll go over right away and make sure he makes the software for our company!"
It seems that compared to the lost deposit, what he wanted more was the chess software that he had customized for Itakura Taku.
…
With a clear destination, it didn't take long for the group to arrive at the hotel where Itakura Taku was hiding.
On the way, Conan thought of something and looked at the three clients: "Come to think of it, the uncles should be competitors of each other, why did you come together to find a detective?"
The fashionable young man sighed, "Itakura Taku arrogantly sent us a group email, and we just found out that he actually took three jobs at the same time. If it were normal times, we would indeed be competitors, but now that the scammer is about to run away, of course the three of us victims have to unite and find him first."
Mediterranean nodded: "So we agreed on a meeting place to discuss what to do. As we were talking, I suggested looking for a detective..."
"Wait a minute." The fashionable young man frowned. "I was the first one to suggest finding a detective. Why are you trying to steal our credit?"
Conan thought he was going to say something big: "..."
Mediterranean didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said: "You did say you wanted to find a detective, but I was the first person who thought of looking for Mr. Jiang Xia - if I had found a useless detective, things wouldn't have gone as smoothly as they are now."
The mushroom-head guy was not to be outdone: "You two are just talking. If I hadn't found Jiang Xia's contact information, you would probably still be talking on paper."
"..." Conan speechlessly pulled Jiang Xia and walked past them into the hotel: Adults are so childish.
…
After entering the hotel lobby, Jiang Xia looked around and checked his watch.
Three noisy office workers walked in. When they looked up and saw his wrist, the fashionable young man exclaimed, "Your watch is nice. You don't need to change it."
Jiang Xia: "Change the watch?"
Mediterranean smiled and explained, "Itakura is very particular about watches, so - you see, before we came to see him, the three of us all changed to a good watch."
Conan: "..." Aren't you the Party A? Why are you so humble like three dogs that you even have to consider Itakura Taku's hobbies.
The three of them didn't think there was anything wrong: When it comes to software production, Itakura Taku is indeed a rare talent. Therefore, for their respective companies, recovering the deposit is only a backup plan - compared to this solution, they really hope to get the software customized by Itakura Taku.
Therefore, although they all cursed Itakura Taku, they all planned to behave well after meeting the programmer so that Mr. Itakura would give priority to making the software they customized.
The three people who were secretly doing this disliked each other.
At this moment, the fashionable young man saw the watches of the other two people and laughed: "The watches you two are wearing are not real famous watches. It seems that this time, you will be kicked out by Itakura Taku again."
"?" The two were angry. Mushroom Head said, "I just bought this 5 days ago. The receipt is still at home!"
Mediterranean also snorted: "What do you know about watches? If you ask me, the one on your hand is a high-end imitation!"
Jiang Xia drank the can of coffee he got from the office, walked leisurely past them, and pressed the elevator button slowly.
Conan's ears hurt from the noise from the three people. While waiting for the elevator, he rubbed his ears and couldn't help looking at Jiang Xia: Sometimes, his neighbor's temper is really good.
…
Finally, with a ding, the elevator arrived.
The group walked into the elevator, and Hai Di touched the button and pressed the 20th floor.
The numbers on the electronic screen began to change. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the information he wanted, Conan suddenly felt nervous.
"Is it really okay to just look for it like this?"
Conan stroked his chin, worried in his heart: "If that Itakura Taku is really connected to the organization, and he is now secretly meeting with a member of the Black Organization... then once we push the door, won't we be sent to them to be silenced?"
"But this is a hotel, and there are five of us. The guys from that organization shouldn't be so arrogant, right? Mushroom Head encountered Tequila by chance, but he survived, didn't he?"
"And even if I say I want to leave now, I'm afraid these people won't agree unless I tell Jiang Xia everything about the organization...
"No, Jiang Xia would definitely not leave if that happened. Put yourself in his shoes. If I suddenly heard a detective tell me that there was a mysterious organization in Tokyo, how could I possibly run away? I would definitely track it down to the end."
...It seems that this time, I have to go to Itakura Taku's room no matter what.
…
The rising elevator does not stop because of the messy thoughts of a fake elementary school student.
Finally, the elevator stopped on the 20th floor and the iron door slid open to both sides.
Conan looked at the people walking out of the elevator and sighed tiredly: Forget it, things have come to this point, so let's be optimistic and think about how to get out of Itakura Taku what he said to the member of the Kansai dialect organization two years ago.
Next to him, Jiang Xia recognized the house number and walked to the door with the words 2004 on it.
I looked down and saw a "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on the door handle.
"Great!" The three clients whispered to each other excitedly, "It seems he is still in the room."
Jiang Xia nodded and pressed the doorbell.
There was a ding-dong sound, but no one opened the door.
"What's going on? Did this guy go to have lunch?" Mediterranean frowned and looked at the closed door. "Or did he guess that we would come to his house and try to avoid us?"
Just at this moment, a "beep" sound came from the corridor behind me.
When everyone looked back, they saw a hotel staff helping a customer who forgot to bring his key to open the door of a room not far away.
After the door was opened, he politely reminded the guest: "We all use electronic door locks here, so you'd better bring your door card with you."
"Okay." The guest smiled, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
The guest entered the room and the hotel staff bowed slightly to him and prepared to leave.
However, when I turned around, I found a smiling elementary school student at my feet.
The pseudo-schoolboy raised his lovely face and smiled harmlessly: "Uncle, can you help me open my uncle's door? We agreed to meet at this time, but he refused to open the door. He has a heart disease. He might have died in the room."
