Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 212: The Disappearing Keiko

Cup household town.

Gao Cheng followed Mr. Naoki into a two-story building with a garden filled with potted flower stands and a garage next to it.

"It's only 40 million for such a beautiful house?" Gao Cheng asked in surprise.

His current office house is very small, there is no place to park, but the value is more than 70 million...

"Of course the housing prices here are not comparable to those on the commercial street," Mr. Naoki led Gao Cheng into the bedroom, "This is my daughter's room."

"Is your daughter the only one living here?"

"Yes, we plan to move here, but there are a lot of things going on at the bakery recently, and it will be a bit troublesome to go back and forth without a car."

"Hmm." Gao Cheng looked at the bedroom in a deep voice.

Both the living room and this bedroom are very tidy, similar to Xiao Ai's usual room, nothing special can be seen.

When he came, he heard Mr. Naoki talk about the situation again.

A few days ago, Naoki and his wife had a quarrel with their daughter Keiko because of a blind date. As a result, they contacted many daughters the next day. At first, they thought it was because the daughter was still angry, but they didn't even look at the insurance company where the daughter worked. to people.

Although they reported the case to the police station, the police also believed that Keiko lost his temper and went out to play and disappeared on purpose. After investigation, they could not find any clues.

It's almost the same as what he inquired from Takagi.

According to Keiko's colleagues, Keiko did mention going out on the phone on the day of her disappearance. The problem is that the company has no record of Keiko's leave.

Gao Cheng touched his chin and walked into the bedroom: "Did you touch anything afterwards?"

"No, the police just came to take a look," Mr. Naoki responded, "Oh, by the way, because the clothes are still hanging outside, my wife and I took them in and put them in the closet."

Gao Cheng silently opened the wardrobe.

There is only one OL outfit for washing, and the other one was probably worn by Keiko.

The clothes are drying outside, the house is well tidied up, and the garbage has been emptied...

Judging from the situation, Keiko left the house very calmly, probably to go out for work or a date, no wonder the police just took a look.

Is it just that you are really angry and went out to play?

Keiko's job is to sell insurance, and she often runs outside at work, maybe something happened in the middle, and the insurance sales herself is easily hated by others.

"Huh?" Gao Cheng opened the drawer and took a look, and found that besides the cosmetics, there were quite a few small receipts inside, which were all left over from shopping. They were neatly folded and held in book clips.

What caught his attention was the top one, which happened to be a shopping supermarket on the north side of Kaizuka.

Speaking of which, Kaizuka Kita seems to be the place where the policewoman Utsumi worked last time.

"The policeman has also looked at it," Mr. Naoki said when he saw Gao Cheng staring at the receipt, "It's all Keiko left after shopping, even the fruit he bought before. That kid likes to keep it like this." A receipt, saying that there is any quality problem so that it is convenient to testify.”

"Didn't the police go to investigate?" Gao Cheng flipped through the small ticket.

"Yeah, because the latest one was more than a week ago, and the police said there was no need to investigate..."

"Is it really unnecessary?"

Gao Cheng also found several receipts from the same supermarket, and the dates of each receipt were about half a month apart. Some of them were just for buying some apples, while others were for buying some daily necessities.

Fruits, milk, candies, biscuits, nutrition, towels, shogi, table tennis...

"Did Miss Huizi buy these?" Gao Cheng put the supermarket receipts together, narrowed his eyes slightly, "It doesn't look like I bought them for myself..."

"Ah, maybe it's because of work," Mr. Naoki said confusedly, "Don't you often buy some small gifts when you sell insurance?"

"Is there? Don't you ask the company to reimburse you for small gifts?" Gao Cheng didn't know much about the insurance business, but he still kept the small receipts.

In any case, Keiko's frequented places are worth investigating.

...

Outside Kaizuka North Supermarket.

"Kirodo!" Utsumi stared at Gao Cheng aggressively,

"You said you wanted to invite me to dinner, so I came here! What's going on? Just go to the police for the missing case. I've only been tired for a day, and I'm going back to rest!"

"If the police can find it, then don't bother me," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "You also know that my appearance fee is not low."

"Oh." Nei Hai suddenly lost his arrogance when he thought of Gao Chengming's identity as a detective.

She was only charged 10,000 last time, and she is still embarrassed...

"But why did you call me here? The disappearance case is under the responsibility of the Life Safety Division." Neihai asked curiously.

"Because it's easier for the police to investigate," Gao Cheng felt helpless, "And among the policemen I know, only people like you who have free time can help."

"Huh?" Neihai opened his mouth wide and stared, "Is this how I look in your eyes?"

Gao Cheng said with a sneer: "Anyway, I will treat you to dinner afterwards."

"Will I miss a meal?"

Indignantly, Neihai walked into the supermarket first, and found the store manager with his police officer certificate.

Several cashiers saw Keiko's photo and several receipts, and shook their heads: "I don't remember, there are so many people every day, how could they all remember..."

"I really don't have any impression?" Mr. Naoki said excitedly, "I beg you, think again."

"I really don't remember," the cashier said holding the receipt. "There is a nursing home nearby. People often buy these things. It's nothing special..."

Although the cashier didn't say much, Mr. Naoki also understood the implication, and his face was full of disappointment.

Indeed, there are so many people shopping in the supermarket, if there is nothing special, how can it be possible to remember the people who bought things?

Nei Hai also shook his head helplessly at Gao Cheng: "This is not acceptable, how can you find the missing person with this kind of shopping receipt?"

"impossible?"

Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows, took back the shopping receipt, and continued to ask the cashier, "Excuse me, where is the nursing home you mentioned?"

"It's just across the street."

"Thanks."

Leaving the supermarket, Nei Hai couldn't help chasing after Gao Chengdao: "What's going on? It was the same last time. You must know something, right? Does it have anything to do with that nursing home?"

Gao Cheng was speechless looking at Nei Hai who kept asking questions. If he had known earlier, he would not have asked this woman for help. If it was Gao Mu, there would definitely not be so many problems.

"Didn't the cashier just say that? People often buy the same things as Miss Keiko and go to the nursing home. Of course, they have to go to the nursing home first."

"that's it?"

"Do you think I'll be able to find Miss Keiko right away?" Gao Cheng rolled his eyes and turned to Zhishu who was beside him with a heavy heart, "Mr. Zhishu, have you ever heard Miss Keiko mention this matter before?"
