27 Intersecting Clues
Seeing the young man who claimed to be a detective come to him with such a piece of material, Sabuki was very calm and put the photocopied report on the coffee table.
"Mr. Aizhi shows me what this means?"
Courteous, Sabuki was asking.
"Mr. Saha really doesn't know this actress named Kanata Kochi?"
Gao Yuan took the photocopy information back into his hand and began to say.
"Then, I'll just say the whole thing from beginning to end."
Sabuki was not objecting, so he sat and waited for Gao Yuan to explain.
"Actually, at the beginning, I accepted a commission from a Mr. Nishikawa to investigate his illegitimate child twenty years ago.
"Mr. Nishikawa had an affair with an actress, but because of the strong opposition from Mr. Nishikawa's son, the two did not develop further. Instead, the actress was exposed to the scandal of getting pregnant before marriage. So the actress chose to retire from the film in anger, and left Osaka as pregnant, and went to Tokyo. She disappeared for nearly 20 years and had no news.
"So, I'm here to find out where the actress went after she came to Tokyo."
Gao Yuan paused, and saw that Sabuki had no response to what he had just said, so he continued to say it.
"Originally, I always needed some clues to find someone. But after I carefully searched for some information, I found a problem - what is the real name of the actress? I read a lot of newspaper reports that reported this incident at that time, and only mentioned the actress' stage name, but there was no information about her real name.
"So, I can only start with another clue - Mr. Nishikawa gave a 6-carat blue diamond to the actress. However, when I wanted to investigate based on this, I was also in a deadlock - there was no news about this diamond on the market!"
Speaking of this, Gao Yuan's eyes began to stare at Sahiromasa.
And Masashi Saki, who realized something, also responded:
"So, are you here to ask me for information about gems? Then you are disappointed. Although I am a collector, I can't give any useful information based on information such as 6 carats of blue diamonds."
"That's not. It's just that maybe it's God's will. As soon as I came to Tokyo, I encountered the monster thief Kid sent a preview letter to Mr. Sahiro. Out of curiosity about the monster thief, I untouched the content of the preview letter. So I went to the location of the monster thief's trailer and found the gem collected by Mr. Sahiro, 'Tear of Moonlight'."
When Sabuki heard this, he was moved, but he still wanted to speak but stopped.
"After I saw the 'Tears of Moonlight', I finally understood why Mr. Sabuki bought it for six years but never showed it to the outside."
"Did you see it?"
After hearing Gao Yuan say this, Sabuki finally let go.
"Yes, the 'Tear of Moonlight' can no longer be displayed to the outside world, because the diamonds embedded on it are already broken!"
Gao Yuan smiled.
"Of course, this was just a small episode after I came to Tokyo, but when I looked at the broken diamonds carefully, I suddenly realized that if these diamonds were restored to a diamond, they would be about 6 carats in size? And, just so, this is still a blue diamond!"
"So you think this diamond is the one you want to investigate?"
Sabuki was asking.
"Indeed, that's what I thought at the time."
"Then Mr. Aizhi is going to be disappointed. After all, I just bought it at the auction and I don't know its origin."
Sabuki said.
Gao Yuan was not impatient. After all, from the beginning, his words were half true and half false. Doing so was just a preparation for the final questioning.
"Let's turn the topic back to the previous issue about the actress' real name. I spent a lot of effort and finally found out the actress' real name, which was written in this photocopy report - Xiaozhi Hanada."
Gao Yuan almost had a big head after finding this last night. The Internet twenty years ago was super high-end technology, and many companies did not have so-called server data, so their own hacking technology was useless here.
The agency that year had long gone bankrupt. There was no clue on the Internet alone, unless you could find the insider of the circle back then, but you had no idea about the world's film industry!
But the turn of opportunity happened after reading the film and television series that the actress once starred last night - it was a TV series about Ryuma Sakamoto 20 years ago. In it, Gao Yuan actually saw a character he was familiar with!
Yes! Twenty years ago, the film industry! How could I forget this character in this world of "Detective Conan"! It is the protagonist of this world, Conan Edogawa's body, and Shinichi Kudo's mother - Yukiko Kudo!
Moreover, Kudo is now in the United States and is a well-known female detective known as the "Baoshi of the Dark Night" by everyone in the United States! It is not easy to find the contact information of this famous person online!
It happened to be what I thought of in the early morning, and it happened to be during the day in the United States!
So Gao Yuan called Kudo's house on the other side of the ocean with a try-out mentality, but unexpectedly things went smoothly!
After Takato briefly explained the purpose of the call, Kudo Yukiko was very enthusiastic and provided a very important clue - she remembered the real name of the actress who worked with her back then, and was called "Xiaozhi". As for her surname, she couldn't remember it.
After getting such a clue, Gao Yuan thanked Kudo Yukiko for his help, which gave Gao Yuan a very clear investigation direction - in the end, Gao Yuan found this photocopy report that he gave to Sabuki.
However, this experience was beyond Gao Yuan’s expectations. I originally planned to complete the challenge task and went to contact Shinichi Kudo, but I didn’t expect that Shinichi Kudo had contacted his parents before he had contacted him!
At this time, Sabuki was hearing Gao Yuan pronounce the name "Hantian Xiaozhi", but he had no reaction, so Gao Yuan continued to say.
"Mr. Sahiro, when I was investigating the clue of diamonds, I had accidentally checked the information about you. I found that your Sahiro's surname was changed after marriage, and your original surname should be - Huatian!"
Speaking of this, Gao Yuan smiled—all the words before were prepared for the moment.
"The two clues I have tracked down have an intersection at this moment. No matter how I think, I don't think it is a coincidence. So, Mr. Sabuki, can you give me an answer?"
After saying that, Gao Yuan changed his seat in a straight position, looked at Sabukamasa, waiting for his response.
"Uncle Sabu?"
At this moment, Hanada Huiwei walked in from outside the door alone and saw a strange atmosphere between Gao Yuan and Sakai in the living room.
