Upstairs of the cafe, Maori Detective Office.

Kogoro Mouri still felt that this was a small surprise given by an unknown tycoon, while Conan believed it was a gift from a patient.

But Masayuki Ogawa was always worried. After a few minutes, he finally took out a letter from his pocket and placed it on the table in a slight manner:

"Unlike before, I received this month."

"oh?"

Kogoro Mori took out the letter and saw that there were only four lines of words:

The 25 million is now paid, and next I will take what I deserve.

——Taro Tanaka

The name "Tanaka Taro" is the same as Zhang San, Li Si and Wang Xiaoming. Because it is too ordinary, people think it is a pseudonym at first glance.

Kogoro Maori automatically ignored the signature and pondered the previous message: "Do you have any items worth 25 million? Judging from the meaning of this letter, you want to buy and sell forcibly."

"How could I be so expensive..." Ogawa Masayo suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed slightly:

"I hung a painting left by my grandfather in my office. Although I didn't specifically ask someone to estimate the price, a colleague who knows how to draw told me that it is worth at least 20 million!"

Two detectives, one big and one small, said "Oh!" at the same time.

Kogoro Mori twisted his beard and turned his mind firmly: "Someone must have wanted to buy your painting, but he was afraid that you would disagree, so he moved the wrong idea of ​​giving you gifts and money first, and then taking the painting away directly!"

But Conan felt that it was wrong. He wanted to please others, so why did he give some old and outdated toys?

He couldn't figure out the reason for the time being. He touched his chin and suddenly wanted to hear what the neighbor who had been silent had. However, when he turned around and found that he had long known where he had run away.

...Does he think this case is boring and doesn't want to listen to it anymore, or is he already having an idea and is eager to verify it?

I had no idea yet, but this neighbor had entered the practical stage...

Conan inexplicably felt a sense of urgency when he had finished the multiple-choice questions and peeked at his deskmate, but found that he had almost finished the second major question.

But even if it is urgent, it cannot solve the problem. He still can only reason step by step.

Since the target of the anonymous person may be Masayo Ogawa, the next step is of course to go to the hospital to find suspicious people.

The group quickly set off by Masahiri Ogawa soon.

When he stopped at a traffic light intersection, Conan, who was leaning against the window, was stunned and sat up straight.

His face was against the window and he looked at a bus in the next lane.

Kogoro Mori and Masayuki Ogawa in the front seat did not notice his abnormality. Ran Maori looked at him strangely, lay next to him, and looked out in confusion: "What's wrong?"

At this moment, the green light turning right in front of them lit up, and they were still parked on the straight road, but the train beside them had already started and left.

The bus quickly disappeared from sight, and Conan slowly leaned back to his seat, shook his head in a complicated mood: "It's okay."

As a detective who pays attention to details, he knows the entire Tokyo station, not to mention a mere bus route to Mihua Market.

Therefore, he also knew that the bus just now stopped near Mihua General Hospital after bypassing half a circle in the city center.

It is normal for a bus to stop at the hospital.

But what is abnormal is that the neighbor downstairs seems to be sitting in that car?

...Even after getting on the bus, they learned about the place where Masayo Ogawa was working. Shiraishi left so early, so there was no reason to know in advance.

Or did you accidentally miss some details?

Masayo Ogawa, who was waiting for the red light, suddenly felt furious behind his back.

He felt a thump in his heart, and he quickly turned his head and looked around, but found nothing. Only the child behind him was looking at him innocently.

Masayuki Ogawa smiled at him in a friendly manner, suppressing his panic. He had an illusion that it must be because of the psychological pressure these days...

Not long after, the green light lit up, Masayo Ogawa calmed down, shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, and continued on the road.

———

Mihua General Hospital Station.

Shiraishi threw coins into the coin port, and went down to the platform in a string of jingling background sounds, looking around.

Compared with the places he has been to before, it is obviously much more prosperous, with tall buildings of quite large size and a bit like a downtown city.

He went to the convenience store to buy some snacks as planned and asked the clerk about the location of the kindergarten.

Walking straight along the street and passing through a park, a wooden fence painted sky blue appeared in front of Bai Shi.

This is the back door of the kindergarten. Through the gap between the walls, you can see a group of children playing with toys in the yard accompanied by the teacher.

Shiraishi stopped and looked at it for a while, trying to guess which one was his son based on Masayo Ogawa's face.

Unfortunately, this matter was too difficult. A few minutes later, in the teacher's eyes, Shiraishi finally gave up. He walked along the courtyard wall and towards the kindergarten gate.

After all, it is located in a bustling city. Although the road here is narrow, pedestrians pass by it from time to time.

Shiraishi was unable to tell which one was Ogino's father. Fortunately, he also brought a special kid to find his father next to him.

Just after the corner, Tomoya Ogino suddenly exclaimed.

Shiraishi looked down at him, and saw the little ghost's eyes shining, and ran to a bench diagonally in front of him: "Dad!"

The naughty kids really let go, but fortunately this is quite special...

Bai Shi still maintained a slow pace and did not stop him.

After rushing out two or three meters, Tomoya Ogino was blocked by an invisible wall. His short legs were futilely pedaling on the ground, but he couldn't run far.

The child was stunned for a while and finally figured out the problem.

He pressed his hair with a little thorny edge and walked back pitifully to look at Shiraishi: "Can we go find my dad?"

Shiraishi felt very sympathetic and then rejected him: "No."

At this time, there are still more than ten meters away from the bench.

Shiraish walked calmly amid the sound of magic sounds that only he could hear. During this period, he glanced at the man on the bench like every bored and in a hurry.

After walking out more than ten meters, Bai Shi turned a corner and came to the side where the kindergarten gate was.

No need to look back and confirm that he had already remembered Ogino's father's appearance.

——It was a man wearing a brown suit, a wide-brimmed top hat and a wide square face.

If it weren't for the beer belly being smaller than the model, Shiraishi would almost think it was Meguro's police department who was sucking fish during working hours.

The man sat on the chair with a calm expression. He had a hard paper bag with a handle at his feet, and the bag was bulging and I don't know what it was.
