It was already evening when we arrived in Osaka. However, because Kaoru Shimada had been contacted in advance, Takato went directly to Shimada Law Firm after arriving in Osaka.
In the firm, Lawyer Shimada had already made arrangements. After Gao Yuan arrived, he was taken to Lawyer Shimada's office.
"Mr. Mingzhi is very efficient."
Shimada Kaoru received Gao Yuan with a warm smile.
"It's just a suspicion at the moment. We have to wait for the DNA information to be compared before we can confirm it."
Gao Yuan said and handed the sealed box with the empty cup to Shimada Kaoru.
Taking the box, Kaoru Shimada put it aside, and then said with a little regret: "Compared with this, the problem now is that we can't get Mr. Nishikawa's DNA, so we can't make comparisons."
"This is easy to handle. If you can't get Mr. Saikawa's, you can use his son Hiroaki Saikawa's."
With that said, Shimada Kaoru got up, went to a conference room next door, and brought back a cigarette butt.
"Not long ago, Mr. Hiroaki Nishikawa came to me to discuss the will. This is the cigarette butt he smoked. Together with the things you brought back, I will arrange for a DNA test tomorrow."
At this point, Shimada Kaoru suddenly paused.
"However, the most thorny issue now is that Mr. Nishikawa is currently critically ill, and I don't know if he can persist until the results come out. After all, whether to change the will will ultimately have to be confirmed by Mr. Nishikawa after seeing the evidence."
"Why is Mr. Nishikawa suddenly critically ill?"
Gao Yuan had a lot of thoughts about the news he saw in the newspaper, especially since the "Phase Three" mission required him to investigate the car accident himself.
"I'm not sure about this. I guess I am too old. After suffering such a serious injury, my body can't bear it after all. But it is precisely because Mr. Nishikawa is suddenly critically ill that Mr. Hiroaki Nishikawa is very eager to ask me about his will today.
situation."
Shimada Kaoru said, "But I'm just a lawyer, and I can only act according to the client's requirements. If Mr. Nishikawa can't survive, Mr. Akechi, your trip will be in vain."
"Okay, then I'll take my leave first."
From what Kaoru Shimada said, it seemed that he didn't want to meddle with other things, but that the search for Mr. Nishikawa's illegitimate child should have been agreed with Mr. Nishikawa before, so he was willing to cooperate with him after he made progress. In this case
There's no point in staying here.
With that said, Gao Yuan was ready to get up and leave.
"Sorry, I forgot to ask. Regarding the lady who is suspected to be Mr. Nishikawa's illegitimate daughter, what is her name?"
Shimada Kaoru stopped Gao Yuan and asked this question.
"Hanada Emi."
Gao Yuan said and told Shimada Kaoru the answer.
For this name, I hacked into the database of Nanyang University, found the list of students who had recently gone to study in the United States, and found the name of the blond woman.
After leaving Shimada Law Firm, Gao Yuan came to a cafe and sat quietly by the window, as if waiting for someone.
Soon, the person Gao Yuan was waiting for arrived.
The dark-skinned high school detective, Hattori Heiji, walked into the cafe, sat opposite Takato's seat, and then put a document bag in his hand on the table.
"The detective's actions are really fast. He found Mr. Nishikawa's illegitimate son in just two days!"
Hattori Heiji made a heartfelt comment with admiration.
"Luck just happens."
Gao Yuan said modestly, if it hadn't happened that the gem that Kaitou Kidd wanted to steal happened to be the one he wanted to investigate, he doesn't know how many detours he would have taken. Moreover, even if he had moved so fast, something would still happen to Mr. Nishikawa.
Got it!
"For the car accident information you want, I asked Officer Otaki to ask the police officer from the Traffic Division to get it. This is a copy of all the information."
Hattori Heiji pushed the document bag on the table in front of Takato.
Gao Yuan took the document bag and opened it to read through.
"So, the detective also thinks this car accident is very strange?"
Hattori Heiji said.
"Yeah, a rich man who was debating whether to get his illegitimate son back and give half of his property to the illegitimate son suddenly got into a car accident, and his real son was very concerned about the will after the accident. All this seems too suspicious.
.”
Gao Yuan said, carefully checking the contents of the car accident information:
The car accident happened at about 6 o'clock in the morning at the entrance of a tunnel. The car was involved in a car accident. The front part of the car was almost squeezed together and was severely deformed; the front half of the roof was also dented by the impact.
Go down.
The driver in the front seat of the car had his head and legs bruised to pieces and was probably killed on the spot.
Sitting in the back seat of the car was Mr. Nishikawa, the director and shareholder of the magazine. They were knocked unconscious on the spot and suffered serious injuries. Fortunately, they were discovered by a passing vehicle soon after, and the police were sent to the emergency center.
.
Broken glass and car parts were scattered around the front part of the car. Moreover, no brake marks were found on the path the car traveled before the accident.
According to the reporter, when he was driving towards the tunnel, he saw a car parked in the right lane of the tunnel entrance from a distance. He was curious, and when he drove closer, he discovered that there had been a serious car accident, so he immediately called
Call the police and make an emergency call, then stay at the scene to maintain the vehicle and wait for the arrival of the emergency center and traffic police.
Based on the conditions at the scene of the car accident, the police initially determined that it was a rear-end collision.
It is estimated that the car that was involved in the accident crashed into the bed of a truck in front for some unknown reason. The driver of the truck probably saw the car accident and drove away immediately.
Although the police are also tracking the whereabouts of the large truck, if it was a rear-end accident, the main responsibility lies with the car. After all, there are no skid marks on the car at the scene.
This may have been caused by the driver's improper operation or fatigue driving. The police later inspected the car and found no tampering.
Therefore, the police believed that even if the car accident was indeed man-made, the problem could only lie with the driver. However, the driver died on the spot, and no suspicious points about the driver were found during subsequent interviews and investigations. In the end, the case was determined to be
An unfortunate accident.
Seeing Gao Yuan turn the information to the end, Hattori Heiji said: "How is it? Detective brother, have you found the doubts in this?"
"Although the escaping large truck is very suspicious, judging from the scene, it is true that the responsibility lies with the car. After seeing the large truck in front, the driver neither braked to slow down nor turned around to avoid...the vehicle was not passive.
After all, it can only be considered that the accident was caused by the improper operation of the driver at the time."
Gao Yuan had to admit that judging from these information, there was no doubt about this accident at all. The only person who could have deliberately caused the accident was the driver of the car - but the driver did not have any doubts in the follow-up investigation!
This is strange. Could it be that this car accident was really just an accident?
"By the way, you know. When he later questioned the person involved, Mr. Nishikawa said that he had been sleeping before the car accident so he had no idea what happened. And the director, when asked about the situation before the car accident,
, he told the police something very strange."
When Hattori Heiji said this, he paused deliberately. Takato knew that the next step was the key point.
