Stay away from Conan.

"Hmm... that's the building where the Shinsan Trading Company is located... and this side..."

While Kudo Shinichi, Hattori Heiji, and Hakuba Tan were investigating at Yokohama Marine University, at this moment, on the other side, in the abandoned building in Takashima-cho, which was the place Conan and Maori Kogoro found at the beginning according to the first hint of the client, Gao Yuan came here and observed the situation here -

After all, since he was going to take action and had confirmed that this incident had deviations from the original work, what Gao Yuan had to do now was to try to find out if he could find any deviations in the details of the whole incident so far.

Therefore, Gao Yuan's first step was to go back to the beginning, to the abandoned building where Conan and his friends found the masks and pistols left by the robbers, and prepare to investigate thoroughly.

First of all, Gao Yuan was going to look for the homeless man that Conan and the others met at the beginning, because there were some things he had to ask him.

As a homeless person living in this abandoned building, he must have been here for quite a long time. Although this abandoned building is about to be demolished and he is probably considering moving, he should still be able to be found nearby today.

Therefore, Gao Yuan, who had thought of this, first entered the abandoned building and found traces of the homeless man's residence in the room. Coincidentally, he ran into the homeless man who returned here not long after.

"Hello, I'm a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department. My colleague may have come into contact with you this morning."

Facing the homeless man who had returned, Gao Yuan took out a police officer's ID from his pocket, showed it to the homeless man, and asked this question as if it was a matter of course.

In this regard, after hearing what Gao Yuan said and seeing the police officer's ID in the other party's hand, the homeless uncle did not think much about it. He just nodded in confusion, and after saying "hmm", he asked in confusion:

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"This morning, a middle-aged man with a mustache came here with a child to ask you questions, right? Can you tell me more about what happened at that time?"

Gao Yuan asked the homeless man calmly, with a calm and slightly dignified demeanor, as if he were a real police officer interrogating someone.

So, when asked this question, it was obvious that he still had a deep impression of the incident. The homeless uncle told the story of his encounter with Kogoro Mouri and Conan in the morning. He also explained that he had reported the relevant matters to the police who arrived later.

Then, after listening to all this, Gao Yuanwei paused for a moment as if thinking, and then asked:

"So, they asked you about the strange things that happened last month. Has anyone else asked you about this before?"

In this way, after confirming that what the other party said was consistent with what he already knew, Gao Yuan began to ask the key questions.

In this regard, upon hearing this question, the homeless man was even more puzzled. He didn't understand why Gao Yuan asked this question. However, because of the other party's identity as a "police officer", the homeless man couldn't help but think and recall, then shook his head and denied it:

"No... For no reason, who would come to this abandoned building to ask questions to someone like me..." After saying this, he quickly remembered something and said:

"But, speaking of this, today is very strange. After you police officers left, someone else actually came to ask me related questions! They were two young men!"

In response to this, Gao Yuan nodded slightly when he heard the homeless man suddenly talking about what happened today, and then asked naturally:

"What kind of two young men are they? Did they come together? Or separately?"

So, after Gao Yuan asked this question, the homeless uncle still remembered it clearly and answered:

"Not together! The first one to come was a young man with dark skin... and then came a man with blond hair. Both of them had strange accents, and the questions they asked were also weird. But now that I think about it, the questions they asked me in the end seemed to be the same, and they asked about what happened last month."

In this regard, after hearing this, Gao Yuan knew that the two young men the other party was talking about were Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Tantei. This was completely consistent with what he knew so far. After all, if Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Tantei both accepted the commission from the client, and the clues given were similar, then the place they would come to at the beginning should naturally be this abandoned building.

Therefore, after learning this information from the homeless uncle, Gao Yuan nodded slightly and chatted with him casually for a few more words. After confirming that apart from Maori Kogoro, Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Tan, no one else had asked him similar questions, Gao Yuan did not ask any more questions and left for the time being.

Therefore, for Gao Yuan, the gains from this trip were within his expectations.

All I can say is that this basically confirms that Hakuba Tan is also involved in this matter.

Besides this, one thing that is certain is that

Before Conan and Kogoro Mouri came here to investigate, no other detectives had come to ask the homeless man about what happened last month.

This basically means that Kogoro Mouri and his colleagues should be the first group of detectives to accept the client's commission to investigate the incident, or in other words, before today, no other detectives had investigated the situation.

Therefore, it can be basically confirmed that when the case was entrusted to Kogoro Mori, the mysterious client told Kogoro Mori about other "detectives seeking fame" and the so-called "Dragon Detective who was killed in the explosion". These were all fictitious things and were just means to deceive Kogoro Mori and others and put pressure on him.

Therefore, combined with the content of the commission invitation that I also received, it can be confirmed that no matter how many commission invitations the client had sent out before, it was not until today that a client actually came to accept the other party's commission.

As for the so-called "Dragon Detective who was killed in the explosion", it should be the same as the original work, he was invited by the client to act in a play, and he was not really killed because of the wrong content of the investigation -

After all, this Detective Long never came to investigate! (End of this chapter)
