Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1650 Itakura Taku's Diary

"Excuse me, what did the tall man say to Mr. Itakura Taku?"

At this point, because Conan had reviewed the organization-related events he had encountered in the past when he was hospitalized a few days ago, so when he heard the big man in black who appeared at the Mantiantang game conference mentioned a few days ago, Conan immediately knew who they were talking about -

After all, for Conan, the most impressive thing in the entire Mantiantang press conference was the member of the organization "Tequila" who was accidentally killed in the explosion. He finally met this guy, but he died just like that...

So, facing this matter now, Conan realized that the disappearance of the game system designer named Itakura Taku might be related to the organization. He suppressed the urge in his heart and asked Soma Ryusuke in front of him very naturally.

"what……"

Hearing this, Soma Ryusuke couldn't help but think for a moment, then recalled and said:

"Well... I don't know exactly what they said. When I went to his studio, the man was about to leave...

"I just remember that the man seemed to say something at the end...

"'You're of no use anymore' or something like that."

"You are no longer useful?"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro on the side couldn't help but think and said:

"That sounds a bit threatening... But, it happened two years ago..."

Thinking back to the time point that Soma Ryusuke mentioned, if this happened two years ago, then it is unlikely to be related to the recent disappearance of Itakura Taku...

At the same time, Conan was thinking about this.

"Damn it, this is totally useless information. It seems that I have no choice but to find the missing Mr. Itakura Taku and ask him directly..."

"Besides, the man you mentioned was also killed in the explosion, so this possibility can basically be ruled out. The question now is how can we find Mr. Itakura Taku based on this alone?"

With one hand supporting his face, Kogoro Mouri looked at the email video on the computer screen and muttered to himself.

"Looking at the video he shot, it should be in some hotel room, right?"

"But the hotel will not disclose the privacy of guests..."

At this moment, the other two clients named Naito Sadahei and Subaru made such guesses respectively.

"Hotel room..."

Thus, muttering this word, Maori Kogoro watched the entire video carefully, and then he saw from the video that in the picture, next to Itakura Taku, there were chessboards for shogi, go, and western chess.

"Come to think of it, the game systems you asked Mr. Itakura Taku to design are games of shogi, go, and chess, right?"

As he was analyzing this, Maori Kogoro suddenly froze in thought, then he stood up and walked to his desk, picked up his phone, checked the front desk numbers of various hotels in Tokyo, and called with a stuttering voice:

"What's going on in this hotel? I'm the one who borrowed the shogi, fence, and chess props from you! But the phone in the room suddenly stopped working, so now I can only call you on my cell phone..."

So, Kogoro Mori seemed very angry and called one after another, and finally apologized awkwardly and called again.

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but admire Maori Kogoro -

"That's right. If I borrow the hotel's shogi, go and chess props at the same time, the hotel staff should have an impression of it. Maybe I can find out which hotel Itakura Taku is staying in. I didn't expect that uncle is not bad..." Just like that, after some trials, Maori Kogoro finally got the information he wanted -

Itakura Taku stayed in room 2004 of the New Rice Flower Hotel.

Therefore, everyone present hurriedly rushed over there after hanging up the phone.

It's just a pity...

……

Itakura Taku is dead.

This incident happened one day before the three clients found Kogoro Mori. Gao Yuan thought of the Itakura Taku incident in the original work and thought that he might have a chance to see Itakura Taku before he was murdered. So he tried to disguise himself and searched for him. As a result, after finding Room 2004 of the Shin-Mika Hotel, he saw Itakura Taku who was already dead.

At that time, according to Gao Yuan's judgment, when he found Bancang Zhuo, it should have been not long since his death. Perhaps if he had found him a few hours earlier, he should still have a chance to survive.

But fate plays tricks on us. When it's too late, it's too late.

So, Gao Yuan had no choice but to think for a long time facing the dead Itakura Taku in front of him. In the end, he did not choose to call the police or even care about the dead body of Itakura Taku. Gao Yuan touched almost nothing at the whole scene. Only relying on his memory, he found the floppy disk where Itakura Taku kept his diary from his personal belongings.

Then, Gao Yuan borrowed the computer on site and copied the data into his own USB flash drive. After returning the floppy disk to the most conspicuous position among Bancang Zhuo's belongings, he quietly cleared all traces of his presence and left.

Gao Yuan no longer planned to get involved in this matter, because he only took a cursory look and basically knew the truth about Itakura Taku's death, which should be no different from the original plot. So he thought that within two days, according to the development of the original plot, Conan and the others would come here to look for the missing Itakura Taku.

By then, everything will most likely develop in the direction of the original work——

And this is what Gao Yuan wants to see this time.

This time, since he didn't catch up with Itakura Taku's life, Gao Yuan didn't plan to interfere with the development of the incident. He hoped that the whole thing would develop according to the original work...

If possible, Gao Yuan is also willing to guide the whole thing towards the plot of the original work.

After all, if everything happens according to the original work, Gao Yuan has a doubt that he had when he read the original work, and he hopes to confirm it with his own eyes.

And if I can confirm this, I will probably be able to make further judgments about certain things in the original work...

……

So, back to the present, when Maori Kogoro and others arrived at the Shin-Mika Hotel, they found that no one responded to the door of Room 2004 when they knocked. Conan found a way to find the hotel staff to open the door, and everyone entered the room, and saw -

Lying on the table in the bedroom of the hotel room, the body of Itakura Taku had been dead for more than a day!

Just like that, facing the reality that Itakura Taku was dead, Xiaolan hurried to call the police, and everyone else was in disbelief. They didn't expect that Itakura Taku, who they had been looking for for so long, had died here.

Among them, Conan, in particular, had thought that he might have a chance to get some information from Itakura Taku, but in the end, it was all in vain. This inevitably made Conan anxious, and it seemed that every time he encountered something related to the organization, he was just a little short of it...

Just like that, when Conan was feeling extremely upset, he suddenly caught a glimpse of——

In Itakura Taku's room, in the open backpack, were Itakura Taku's belongings...

The one placed at the top, in the most conspicuous position, turned out to be a floppy disk with the word "Diary" written on it...
