Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 213 The Disappearing Keiko II

"No," Naoki sighed and shook his head, blaming himself, "The relationship between Keiko and us has never been good, and we hardly talk about work matters... It's all because I am too strict with Keiko, if there is no such thing Otherwise, things wouldn’t be like this.”

"that matter?"

"A year ago, before we went to Detective Kido, we had a big fight because of Keiko's boyfriend, because I heard that the other party had a bad record." Mr. Naoki explained.

Gao Cheng's heart moved. After experiencing the previous murder of a photographer, he is very sensitive to living with men and women. Generally speaking, if there are men living in the house, the traces of the toilet and toilet are the most obvious. You must prepare an extra set of toothbrushes and toilets. The cushion will also stand upright habitually: "Does Miss Keiko have a boyfriend? But she is the only one living in that house."

"Because they broke up after that incident." Mr. Naoki's face darkened. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

"Is that so," Gao Cheng pondered, "Will Huizi's disappearance be related to that ex-boyfriend?"

"That person is Keiko's colleague Yoshino Akio, but the police have already investigated it. He happened to travel abroad with his wife a few days ago, so it shouldn't matter."

"Already married."

For a while, Gao Cheng also had the idea that Keiko might really be angry and not see his parents.

It is not unreasonable for the police to make such a judgment.

After walking for a while, I arrived at the nursing home mentioned by the cashier. The environment is quiet, and many elderly people are doing leisurely activities under the care of the nurses. Several elderly people are still playing shogi under the tree.

"It should be here," Utsumi looked around, not confident in finding someone, "Mr. Naoki, maybe your daughter is really just throwing a tantrum, and there is really little hope of finding someone here."\u00261t;i \u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

"Let's ask the dean first." Gao Cheng hoped that it was just Keiko who lost his temper, otherwise the worst outcome would be left.

"Keiko?" The old dean held a photo of Keiko and recalled, "This girl does come here occasionally."

Nei Hai was stunned: "Eh? Really?"

"Come once every half a month or so," the old dean nodded and said with emotion, "He is a very good kid. There are really not many kind-hearted people like Keiko now. You can ask Tamura and the others for details. They just play shogi outside. those few."

Gao Cheng didn't expect that the nursing home would really have clues, after all, it's a bit sensational to sell insurance in the nursing home.

"Keiko," the old man who played shogi immediately recognized the photo when he saw it, "I just came here a few days ago, and I talked with you about family matters."

"Family?" \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

"It seems to be a bit distressed after quarreling with her family," said an old woman next to her with a smile, "That child is not good at communicating with her family. Every time she comes to visit us, she always mentions her family. In fact, she loves her family in her heart. "

"Keiko..." Mr. Naoki choked up, "Did this child mention what happened?"

"I didn't say that, but I was very happy when I left. Now I should reconcile with my family."

"Keiko, is she okay?"

"It's, it's okay." Mr. Naoki looked at the old people who cared about his daughter, and tried to suppress his tears.

"Excuse me," Gao Cheng asked, passing Mr. Naoki, "When did Miss Keiko come here?"

"About 3 days ago..."

The old people discussed with each other: "I remember it was 4 days ago, because Keiko came to see us again a week later, I remember it very clearly." \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

"4 days ago?" Gao Cheng looked back at Mr. Naoki.

Around the time Keiko disappeared...

"Did Miss Huizi go back directly after that?" Gao Cheng continued to ask.

If you go home, you will definitely not go home. The question is where you went.

"Keiko will stop by to visit the old lady Takano nearby," the old man replied, "It seems to be to sell wheelchairs..."

Near the nursing home, Takano's house.

Gao Cheng took Neihai and Mr. Naoki to inquire all the way, and saw that it was an old house with a single family, a wooden structure of brick and tile house, and two lamps at the gate of the yard.

Because of the frequent earthquakes in Japan, houses like this are very common.

According to the people around, Mrs. Takano died of myocardial infarction on the day Keiko disappeared, and now the old lady's nephew and her husband live in the house. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

The nephew's name was Masaki Takano, and it was a surprise to see Gao Cheng and the others at the door.

"Sorry, my aunt has passed away," Masaki Takano stared at Gao Cheng closely, his face changed slightly, and he looked away, "I have never seen the Miss Keiko you mentioned, please go back."

The man was very vigilant, and he didn't dare to meet Gao Cheng's gaze any more. After turning away several people, he turned and entered the room.

"There is a problem..."

Gao Cheng exhaled lightly.

Most of the prisoners would feel guilty when they saw his face, as long as they didn't know nothing about famous detectives. Looking at the man's appearance, even if it had nothing to do with Keiko, they probably had some ulterior secrets in their hearts.

"What's wrong?" Nei Hai asked, "Is there really something wrong with him?"

"On the day Keiko disappeared, Mrs. Gao Ye passed away. It's too coincidental..." \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Gao Cheng looked at Mr. Naoki, then turned to Utsumi Road: "Next, it's best to investigate carefully, Utsumi Police Officer."

"Eh? It's me again?" Nei Hai blankly pointed at himself.

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Let's keep an eye on him for a few days, and check up the situation of Masaki Takano by the way... You should be very good at these things, right?"

In the evening, Neihai parked his car at the intersection next to Gao Ye's house, and he could see the entrance of Gao Ye's house clearly.

Gao Cheng sat in the co-pilot seat and yawned, and said to Utsumi, who was following him, "I'm a little sleepy, what's the matter to wake me up..."

"Huh?!" Nei Hai wailed and said with a mournful face, "I am the one who is sleepy, okay? You asked me to help, why does it look like I invited you?"

Gao Cheng said wearily: "Maybe this time there will be two murder cases. If you solve the case, it will be a great credit to you, right?"

"Two homicides?" Nei Hai stopped complaining and looked closely at Gao Cheng, "What do you mean?"

"It's hard to say whether Mrs. Gao Ye died of natural causes. If you think about the worst outcome, Masaki Kono may have killed his aunt. As for Keiko," Gao Cheng looked at Gao Ye's house with the light on at the door, and paused. Continued, "Maybe it's too much worry, but the possibility of being imprisoned or killed is very high."

"Have you talked to Mr. Naoki?"

"How can I say it? Maybe Keiko really never came, and the death of Mrs. Gao Ye is just a coincidence."

"But..." Nei Hai thought of what the old people in the nursing home said, his heart was heavy, he pursed his lips and continued to follow silently.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden movement from Takano's house, and Utsumi shivered. He saw Masaki Takano and his wife hurried out after closing the door, as if they were in a hurry.

"Going out at this time?" Nei Hai hurriedly pushed Gao Cheng beside him, "They're coming out!"

"I know, let's take a look first." Gao Cheng also stared at the couple who behaved strangely.

"Huh? You didn't sleep?"

"nonsense."

Gao Cheng observed Gao Ye and his wife through the street lights.

The door had been closed tightly during the day, but when she went out at this time, she was in a hurry, and the woman seemed to be holding a rosary in her hand, looking scared.

Seeing Gao Ye and his wife pass by the intersection, Gao Cheng hurriedly got out of the car: "Follow and have a look."
