Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

Chapter 228 225. Either Disabled or Dead
"Director Zong, Director Baima and Ms. Xinming are waiting for you in the office." At the door of the police chief's office, the secretary got up and said to Zong Tuozai.

"Ms. Xinming?" Zong Takuya was slightly puzzled: "What is the relationship between her and Teacher Xinming Ren Taro?"

"You guessed it right, Ms. Xinming is the only daughter of Teacher Xinming. Director Baima attaches great importance to the disappearance of Teacher Xinming, and it has not been known by the outside media for the time being."

During the short journey from the secretary's office to the police chief's office, Hakuba Shotaro's secretary revealed a lot of useful information to Zong Takuya.

Zong Tuozai nodded to the secretary, indicating that he had accepted the favor.

Under normal circumstances, Hakuba Shotaro's secretary will serve until he retires from the position of police chief.

Of course, before retiring, Hakuba Shotaro will also properly arrange his secretary.

One is to thank the secretary for his hard work over the years, and the other is that although the police chief has retired, the secretary he left in the police department is also a residual extension of his influence to a certain extent.

If you don't want to leave the tea alone, it is also very necessary to have a capable secretary.

Entering the police chief's office, Zong Takuya could clearly see the sincere joy on the face of Shotaro Hakuba, and of course there was a worried woman in the office.

If she hadn't already had a sister Yu, this young woman named Xinming Xiangbaoli would really fit Zong Takuya's aesthetics.

Intellectual, tall, and good-looking.

"Director Hakuba, Special Search Section Takuya Zong is reporting to you!" Takuya Zong saluted Shotaro Hakuba solemnly.

"Okay, Takuya called you back from Osaka this time because the situation is a bit urgent." Hakuba Shotaro signaled So Takuya to relax, and then introduced him to the new name Kabori next to him.

Then he said seriously: "Mr. Xinming is no different from a national treasure in terms of reasoning works. Such a master must not be missed."

"Miss Xinming, I'm begging you, I must find out where Teacher Xinming is as soon as possible, and then bring the teacher back intact!"

"Yes, Director Hakuba, I will do my best!" Zong Takuya nodded and walked towards the office area of ​​the Special Search Section with his new name, Xiangboli.

"Miss Xinming, can you briefly tell me about the disappearance of your father?"

In line with the principle of hurrying up the time, Zong Takuya asked Shinna Kabori about the situation on the road. A great old writer disappeared for no reason.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a normal situation, not to mention that the new teacher Ren Taro doesn't seem to be in good health.

Shinna Kabori probably already said the same thing to many people. When Zong Takuya asked about it, he didn't hesitate to talk about his father's disappearance.

A month ago, when Xinming Xiangbaoli returned home, he found that his parents were not at home, and there was only a note at home that said they were going out.

At that time, the new name Xiangbaoli didn't care, it was just that the old people were thinking about it and wanted to go around.

But the following developments made Xinna Xiangbaoli realize that something was wrong, that is, the sequel of Detective Zuomoji, which had been completed for ten years, suddenly started serializing again.

And for nearly a month, my parents who were away from home didn't contact me once, but Detective Zuo Wenwen faxed it to the editorial department of the magazine every Saturday night at midnight.

"Miss Xinming, do you have the manuscript of Teacher Xinming?"

"some."

Shinna Kabori immediately took out the manuscript he asked for from the magazine. Although it was a printed version, each issue of the magazine was signed by Shinna Rentaro himself.

When she walked to Miyano Akemi's office, Miyano Akemi was already waiting for Zong Takuya's arrival.

After leading the two of them into the brand-new office of the section chief, Zong Takuya nodded in satisfaction with the decoration inside.

As expected, he didn't like the old-fashioned decoration style before, and this modern minimalist style group decoration was suitable for him.

"Miss Shiliang, help me call Zhufu Police Department and Gun Field Police Department. It's up to them to solve puzzles."

After Miyano Akemi left, Zong Takuya said to Xinna Xiangboli: "Miss Xinna must be mentally prepared before conducting the search."

Zong Takuya looked serious.

"The signatures on these manuscripts of your father are all photocopies. It cannot be ruled out that your father is now incapacitated or..."

Zong Takuya didn't say the cruelest conclusion, but from the watery eyes overflowing from Xinna Kabori's eyes, it can be seen that she understands the unfinished meaning of Zong Takuya's words.

If it is not incapacitated and unable to move, then there is a greater probability of death.

Of course, everything is not so absolute. Zong Takuya thinks that the probability of the new name Ren Taro's death is not high, otherwise why continue to serialize Detective Zuo Wenwen?
If Xinming Ren Taro had been killed long ago, what would happen to Detective Zuo Wenwen's follow-up.

If the quality of the work decreases or the style of writing changes, not to mention the old fans for many years, even the editors in the editorial department can see it.

It is somewhat unreliable to use this method to confuse the death time of the new name Ren Taro.

if not
Could it be a willful joke by an old reasoning writer?
The more Zong Takuya thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, so he simply asked Xinming Xiangbaoli: "How is Xinming's health recently? Is there any hospital where you often go for physical examinations?"

The new name, Xiang Baoli, resisted the grief and answered Zong Takuya: "It is not very convenient for my father to travel when he gets old, so the private doctor has always been in charge of checking at home."

"Who is your family's personal doctor?"

"It's Dr. Zhongboshi. Dr. Zhongbo used to be a doctor at Mihua General Hospital. After leaving the job and becoming a private doctor, he has been in charge of my father's health."

"Then do you know the status of the new teacher's recent physical examination?"

The new name, Xiang Baoli, shook his head: "My mother is in charge of communicating with Dr. Zhongbo. After each examination, my mother will mostly tell me that I am still the same."

At this time, Zhu Fu Gaoming and Gun Tian Yumei came to the office.

"The author of "Detective Zuowen", Mr. Xinming, is missing. This is the manuscript he sent when he disappeared. You can see if there are any codes or metaphors in it."

Zong Takuya is also heartbroken, if the new name Ren Taro does not have an accident but really wants to make a joke with the readers.
Then this joke is really full of malice for someone like him who is not good at codes, and he really deserves to be a willful reasoning writer.

Just when Zhu Fu Gaoming and Guntian Ikumi cracked the code, Zong Takuya arranged for other police officers to investigate the itinerary of Xin Mingjia's personal doctor Zhong Hiroshi.

By the way, I invited Zhongbo Shi to the special search class to cooperate with their investigation.

Zong Takuya now needs to know the real physical condition of the new name Ren Taro.

After all, parents always report good news but not bad news to their children, and Zong Takuya doesn't know what the old look of Xinming Kabori's mother is like.
