Stay away from Conan.

Originally, Miyano Akemi followed her train of thought and naturally guessed that the key to the problem should be what might be in the letter that Masashi Emoto received. And taking into account the time when the whole thing happened, it can be basically determined that the key to the problem was about two weeks ago -

In this way, if your guess is correct, you should be able to find the relevant information naturally.

For example, if that thing is a lottery ticket that won a 1 million yen prize, then the prize draw date was at least two weeks ago, and no one has come to claim the prize yet.

If such a winning lottery ticket existed, it would prove that my guess was correct.

At the same time, if there is no such lottery ticket, it is possible that it is something else, and we should be able to find out more or less -

After all, two weeks had passed since the one million yen prize was drawn and no one came to claim it, so news of this would have spread.

As a result, just like that, Akemi Miyano successfully found the relevant lottery information through the computer of Masashi Emoto in front of her, which obviously confirmed that Akemi Miyano's guess was correct.

However, compared to this, what Miyano Akemi is more concerned about right now is the search history on this computer that she accidentally discovered when searching through this computer.

It was the winning lottery ticket information that I had just checked. Someone had checked it on this computer before!

This computer belongs to Masashi Emoto, and according to his own guess, the key to this matter also lies with Masashi Emoto, plus Masashi Emoto's reaction just now...

It seems that I have roughly guessed the basic situation of this matter...

——"Ah! Such a lottery ticket really exists!"

At this moment, after seeing Gao Yuan find the information about the winning through the computer network, Maori Kogoro seemed very concerned. He hurried over, took a look, exclaimed, and then said:

"So it seems that, just as you analyzed, someone sent a lottery ticket to Mr. Masashi, but later that person found out that the lottery ticket he sent to Mr. Masashi actually won 1 million yen, so he regretted it.

"So, after discovering that Mr. Jiang Shi did not go to claim the prize, I thought that Mr. Jiang Shi might not be interested in lottery tickets, so he did not even look at the letter I sent. In this way, the other party thought that there was a chance to secretly steal the lottery ticket back, so I first used Hao Tai to ask him about your residence and prepare to find an opportunity to steal it...

"It just so happened that Mr. Shi was going to hold a social gathering, and he knew that except for Hao Tai, no one else was at your house tonight, so he chose to come here today..."

Seriously, Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and watched Emoto Aya analyze the course of events based on "Takato's" words. He seemed to still not understand a little, and asked in confusion:

"But this still doesn't explain why the other party kidnapped Hao Tai? This information can only prove that there is such a lottery ticket that meets our current analysis!"

In response to Maori Kogoro's question, Miyano Akemi, who was pretending to be "Takato", began to analyze the situation confidently:

"Because this information can actually answer some of our questions! Originally, the other party's original intention was to go for the lottery, but in the end they chose to take Kota away and left a threatening letter, demanding 1 million yen to redeem Kota.

"In this case, since the ransom is still one million yen, which is the same as the amount of the lottery ticket, we can assume that the other party probably didn't find the lottery ticket here. It is also unclear whether Mr. Emoto later discovered the existence of the lottery ticket and cashed it in. So in order to get back the loss of the lottery ticket, the other party chose this method to cash in the one million yen..."

"But it's also possible that the other party is greedy and wants to go all the way after getting the lottery ticket back, and may even ask for an extra 1 million yen!"

Faced with Gao Yuan's analysis, Kogoro Mori bluntly gave another more evil speculation.

In response, Miyano Akemi, who was pretending to be "Takato", did not immediately deny this possibility, but nodded, confirming what Maori Kogoro said:

"Indeed, this is a possibility. With the lottery information we found, we can basically confirm where the ransom of one million yen came from, and we know that the prize money has not yet been claimed, which means that the lottery ticket should not have been discovered by Mr. Emoto before, so he did not claim the prize, right?" "Yes, Masashi definitely did not claim the prize money, otherwise he would not have told me."

Aya Emoto echoed this.

"So, if the lottery ticket has not been claimed, we should assume that Mr. Emoto does not know about the existence of the lottery ticket. But..."

As she said this, Miyano Akemi continued to operate the computer under the identity of "Gao Yuan" and called up the previous information search records:

"Look, a week ago, someone had already checked the information of this winning lottery ticket on this computer, and this computer... belongs to Mr. Jiang Ben, but he is actually not interested in lotteries..."

“This…what on earth is this…”

Looking at this scene, Maori Kogoro was confused:

"Could it be that he was lying when he said he wasn't interested in the lottery?"

"No, that's impossible!"

Aya Emoto denied Kogoro Mori's guess with words.

"Mr. Jiang Ben is not interested in lottery tickets. It is impossible for him to look up lottery information for no reason. Therefore, if he did so, it can only mean that he probably saw the lottery ticket. In order to determine the value of the lottery ticket, he specifically checked it online..."

Miyano Akemi continued to analyze, and then said the key:

"But he never cashed in the lottery ticket!"

"Ugh?"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro became even more confused:

"What do you mean? Mr. Shi knew he won the lottery, but he didn't claim the prize... is that the case?"

"That's right. Mr. Jiang Ben has no interest in lottery. Even though he knew that the lottery ticket his friend had sent him in a letter had won the jackpot, he still had no intention of cashing it in immediately. Otherwise, according to the online search records, Mr. Jiang Ben would have already gone to claim the prize, and it wouldn't be in the state of not claiming it until now."

Miyano Akemi said this and suddenly changed the subject:

"So, if that's the case, what do you think Mr. Emoto would do with the lottery ticket if he knew he had won but had no intention of claiming the prize? Would he just leave it on the table like an ordinary letter?" (End of this chapter)
