The "Legendary Killer Kondo" accepts a murder commission as a killer, then tells the target to be killed of the fact, and then gets rewards from both parties, and then pretends to kill the target, but actually helps the target escape.
Sitting in the car, Gao Yuan recalled the information about "Kondo", and then he understood that the Mizushima Kanae who was driving next to him was the girlfriend of "Kondo" who appeared in the original work.
So judging from the current situation, the true identity of "Takeshi Sakurai" mentioned by Kanae Mizushima should be "Kondo" who has lost his memory. And the so-called witness "Kondo" is the real Takeshi Sakurai -
- He changed the key of "Kondo"'s locker in the bathroom, thereby exchanging their identities.
Well, the "Takeshi Sakurai" mentioned by Kanae Mizushima left suddenly today, probably because he recovered his memory. Therefore, the person Kanae Mizushima is looking for now should have returned to the real residence of "Kondo".
But here comes the question, how can we find "Kondo"'s lair with this information?
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little helpless - this is already an open-book exam, but where can I find the answer?
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yuan asked Mizushima Kanae: "The witness named Kondo, what kind of car does he drive?"
"Why?"
Mizushima Kanae didn't know why and made a puzzled sound.
"I will explain it to you in detail later. You can think about it first and see if you can remember what kind of car he drove."
Gao Yuan said that even if he knew the content of the original work, it seemed that it was not that easy to find the other party. After thinking about it carefully, Gao Yuan reluctantly remembered that the car driven by "Kondo" seemed quite special.
"I don't know the specific make, but I remember it was a car with a Shinjuku license plate... I can draw it!"
Mizushima Kanae said.
"That's okay too."
Gao Yuan said.
So Mizushima Kanae found a parking spot to park the car, and then took out a notebook from her bag. Various things were written densely on it, and it seemed that she had recorded them very carefully. Turning to a new page in the notebook, Mizushima Kanae took out
With a pen, I drew the general shape of the vehicle.
"Probably, that's it."
Handing the drawn content to Takato, Mizushima Kanae said.
Looking at the appearance of the vehicle drawn in his notebook, Gao Yuan always felt that it looked a bit like a "Rolls-Royce Phantom", but Gao Yuan was certain that it was not.
"Chrysler...300C?"
After thinking about it, Gao Yuan finally remembered what kind of car this was from the depths of his memory, but he was still a little unsure. He took out his mobile phone and searched for pictures of the actual car, and asked Mizushima Kanae to confirm it, and got a positive answer.
So now, the question becomes how to find this niche car.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan subconsciously took out his mobile phone and was about to call Takagi Shita, but he couldn't think of a reason to ask Officer Takagi to help him investigate, but after thinking about it, there was no good reason.
Just thinking about it in the car, Gao Yuan felt that this was not a solution. Considering the method from the perspective of knowing the original work seemed to have limitations, so it was better to put his thoughts back to reality and think with realistic ideas.
"Where did he leave from?"
Gao Yuan asked.
"I'm at home. We were having a farewell party for my father at home."
Mizushima Kanae said.
"Take me there first."
Gao Yuan said.
Mizushima Kanae nodded, then started the vehicle and took Takato to his home.
"I confessed everything to Mr. Sakurai right here."
In an empty room, Mizushima Kanae said, pointing to the gramophone and film in the room.
"I was going to play my father's favorite music for Mr. Sakurai, but when I turned around I found that he had already left."
Hearing this, Gao Yuan thought for a moment, then turned and walked out of the house, looking at the slightly secluded residential areas around him, and then walked for a while before arriving at the neighborhood, which looked a bit prosperous.
Looking at the taxi parked nearby, Gao Yuan looked up to see if there was a surveillance camera nearby, and found that there was a surveillance camera outside the convenience store across the street facing the location where the taxi was parked, so Gao Yuan walked into the convenience store.
middle.
At this time, Mizushima Kanae also walked up. Although she didn't quite understand what Takato wanted to do, she still followed her.
When he came to the store, Gao Yuan found the store manager and asked to check the surveillance content outside the store. He explained that the purpose was to find Mizushima Kanae's fiancé, so the store manager readily agreed.
Soon, in the surveillance screen, Mizushima Kanae saw the figure of "Sakurai Takeshi" and the scene of getting into a taxi.
"Yes, it's Mr. Sakurai."
Pointing to the man in the black suit in the picture, Mizushima Kanae confirmed.
However, the license plate number of the taxi cannot be seen on the screen, but the style of the taxi can be seen, and the taxi company to which the vehicle belongs can be known.
Therefore, Gao Yuan called the taxi company to complain, told the time and place where "Takeshi Sakurai" got on the bus in the surveillance, and stated that he was the passenger, but left the items in the car, and asked the company to contact the driver quickly
, return the items to the pick-up location.
Just like that, about an hour later, Takato and Mizushima Kanae who were waiting here saw a taxi drive here. The driver got out of the car and looked around.
Seeing this, Takato knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived, so he went up to talk to him and handed the photo of "Takeshi Sakurai" that he had received from Kanae Mizushima to the driver.
"Sorry, Mr. Driver, the complaint phone number was mine."
Gao Yuan said, took out a stack of money and handed it to the driver. When the driver didn't react to the specific situation, he explained: "I actually want to know where this person got off the bus at that time, so I took the liberty to call you here."
.This money should be regarded as lost wages."
After being stunned for a long time, the driver finally understood what was going on, and then waved his hand:
"This is not okay. Who are you? We cannot reveal the privacy of passengers casually."
The driver said this in a bad tone.
In response, Takato winked at Mizushima Kanae and asked her to take out a photo of herself and "Takeshi Sakurai" and explained that they were an unmarried couple.
Then, after much teasing between the two of them and Gao Yuan adding a few more bills, the driver finally revealed the drop-off location of "Takeshi Sakurai", which was near a high-end apartment.
So Takato and Mizushima Kanae drove there and successfully found a Chrysler 300C in the parking lot of the apartment.
"Sure enough, we found the right place."
Seeing this, Gaoyuan couldn't help but wonder.
"But this apartment has so many rooms, where can we find them?"
Mizushima Kanae asked.
"No need to look for it, we'll be waiting here."
Gao Yuan pointed at the Chrysler and said, "Soon, they will get in the car and just follow the car."
Mizushima Kanae sounded a little confused. She still didn't know what the relationship between finding this car and finding Sakurai Takeshi was, and why Takato was so sure that they would get on the bus soon, but she still nodded to express her trust in Takato's judgment.
Then, at night, as expected, "Sakurai Takeshi" and "Kondo" got into the car and drove out. Mizushima Kanae also followed Takato's instructions.
Until we came to a remote alley——
The "Sakurai Takeshi" in Mizushima Kanae's eyes got out of the car here, put on a hooded coat and hat, ran to a nearby telephone pole and hid, while "Kondo" stood outside the car.
, smoking silently.
Mizushima Kanae continued to drive the car forward.
"Sakurai Takeshi" who saw the vehicle coming, suddenly ran out from the telephone pole, came to "Kondo", grabbed his shoulder, held a knife in his hand, and was about to stab "Kondo"
——
"Mr. Sakurai?"
Upon seeing this, Mizushima Kanae immediately ran out of the car and said slightly confused.
