Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

Chapter 233.

Hearing that Zong Takuya and Guntian Yumi came to see Xu Shengyi, Xu Shengyi's wife curled her lips subconsciously.

Then he replied: "He hasn't been home for a while."

"He has been preparing for the opening of a new restaurant at Tokyo Port for a while, which is the Crystal Restaurant, which was advertised fiercely in newspapers and on TV."

"Water crystal restaurant?"

Zong Takuya really knows that this restaurant that is about to open is a newly opened underwater restaurant around Tokyo.

Now even Zong Takuya, who doesn't watch TV and newspapers very much, knows the news that the Water Crystal Restaurant is about to open, so one can imagine how aggressive Xu Shengyi's advertisement was.

"Then is it convenient for Mrs. Xu to tell me the contact information of Mr. Xu Shengyi? We need to ask Mr. Xu Shengyi for some information."

Xu Shengyi's wife was very cooperative, picked up a piece of paper and wrote Xu Shengyi's phone number.

"This is his phone number, but don't expect too much."

"I haven't contacted him for a while, who knows which woman this old guy is fooling around with now." Xu Shengyi's wife was very dissatisfied, but as he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This police officer, if you contact him, can you help me find out if he is really having an affair?"

Facing such an active wife Xu Shengyi, Zong Tuozai didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say to her: "If you suspect that Mr. Xu Shengyi is having an affair."

"I personally recommend finding a detective to investigate. Mori Kogoro from Mihua Town is a very good expert in investigating affairs."

Zong Takuya did not hesitate to take a deal for Kogoro Mori.

It's better to look for cats and dogs, follow up with mistresses, and investigate affairs than to study murder cases when you have nothing to do?

When Zong Takuya and Guntian Ikumi returned to Sabo's class, Zong Takuya's expression gradually sank: "Asahi Katsuyoshi's wife said that she has been unable to contact Asahi Katsuyoshi himself for a long time."

Gunta Ikumi and Zong Takuya thought the same thing: "I'm afraid it's not that Xu Shengyi doesn't want to contact them, but that he has no way to contact his family."

"Let's go to the Water Crystal Restaurant!"

Zong Takuya's car turned around and drove directly to the Water Crystal Restaurant in Tokyo Port.

After arriving at the Water Crystal Restaurant, because the restaurant is about to be put into use, there are staff on duty inside the restaurant.

After Zong Takuya showed his ID to the staff, he boarded the cable car to the inside of the restaurant.

"This restaurant is really unique, you have to take a cable car to get in and out." Zong Tuoya stood in front of the cable car door overlooking the panoramic view of the entire restaurant.

I have to say that Asahi Katsuki, as an upstart in Tokyo's catering industry, is really good at it.

For such a restaurant, even Zong Takuya, a layman, feels that the business will be good after the opening.

After entering the restaurant, Zong Takuya asked the staff for directions, and went straight to Xu Shengyi's office, but there was no response after knocking on the door.

Immediately, Zong Takuya got the staff to open the door of the office, and the inside was very tidy, as if someone was cleaning it every day.

"We do clean the president's office every day." The person in charge said to Zong Takuya, "Because the president has a slight cleanliness."

"So every day there will be staff to help tidy up and clean the president's office."

Zong Takuya:
What the hell is there to investigate?
If something really happened to Xu Shengyi in the office, the staff probably wouldn't be able to leave any traces after cleaning it up like this.

Zong Takuya then called the staff responsible for cleaning the president's office, and learned from him that one day the president's office seemed a little messier than other times.

But he didn't see anything like blood stains, so he didn't take it seriously.

Indeed, after that day, Xu Shengyi seemed to never use the office again.

These days, he has been maintaining the office, and it is clear at a glance whether the things inside have been touched.

"Chairman, Asahi Katsuyoshi is very likely to have been killed." There was really no evidence to be found in the office. Zong Takuya and Guntian Ikumi walked aimlessly inside the underwater restaurant.

"That's right, but where is Xu Shengyi's body hidden?"

Zong Takuya and Guntian Ikumi thought the corpse was in the kitchen at first.

Although the restaurant is now in operation, the chef team hired by Xu Shengyi has not been in place, and a large part of the kitchen has not yet been used.

If the body is thrown in the refrigerator, it is indeed difficult to be found.

——Under normal circumstances, ordinary employees will not go to the refrigerator without ingredients to play when they have nothing to do.

But the two searched for a long time, but did not find Xu Shengyi's body in the refrigerator.

Because you have to take the cable car to get in and out of the restaurant, and the cable cars at both ends are watched by staff 24 hours a day.

If someone took the body away from the cable car, they would definitely be found, and Xu Shengyi's figure was a bit fat.It is not feasible to pack it into a suitcase and take it away.

Thanks to the identities of Zong Takuya and Guntian Ikumi, they can walk around the restaurant.

Because the whole restaurant is located underwater, in the corridor without windows, it will inevitably appear a bit depressing.

The two walked into the restaurant that hadn't opened yet. The huge glass reflected the sparkling sea water, and the restaurant was not myopic about the colorful reflections of the sea water and the glass.

Seeing the sea fish Takuya Zong and Ikumi Gunda swimming by from time to time outside the window, their complexions changed drastically: "I remember that there seems to be an aquarium in the Crystal Restaurant?!"

"That's right, Chief! I saw it on the restaurant map when I came in."

"go!"

After Zong Takuya and Gunida Yumi exchanged glances, Qi Qi rushed towards the aquarium.

Sure enough, at the bottom of the aquarium, the two found Xu Shengyi who was firmly pressed against the bottom of the water by heavy objects.

Judging from the appearance of the corpse alone, Xu Shengyi might have been murdered for some time.

"Send someone from the contact class. Mr. Xu Shengyi, who represents poker 'Nine', has been killed." Zong Tuozai sighed and stood up.

This can't be blamed on them. Judging from the performance of the corpse, Xu Shengyi's death may be ahead of Mu Mu Shisan.

The murderer was the first to kill Xu Shengyi.

This also proved Zong Takuya's inference that the attack on Mao Lai Kogoro and his close people was just a cover, and the murderer really wanted to kill Tsuji Hiroki and Asahi Katsuyoshi.

"Chairman, wait a minute, I seem to hear some movement." Gunida Ikumi suddenly stopped Zong Takuya who was about to leave, then closed his eyes and listened for a while, then walked towards the corner of the aquarium.

When the debris piled up in the corner was lifted, Zong Takuya's pupils shrank suddenly!
It was a remote-controlled bomb that could be detonated at any time!

"Evacuate the staff and notify the headquarters to send all the people from the explosives disposal team!"

"I'm afraid this is not the only bomb in this restaurant."

"It's the head of the class, I'm going right away!" Guntian Yumi left in a hurry, but Zong Takuya started to think about the bomb in front of him.

Xu Shengyi, the owner of the Water Crystal restaurant, is dead, so this restaurant can be regarded as an ownerless property.

Zong Tuozai didn't think that Xu Shengyi's wife could keep this wealth.

Since Xu Shengyi's business territory will be divided up sooner or later, why not make it cheaper for his own people?
Just like Zong Takuya's career, one step faster is faster.

Sometimes it is only necessary to get news a few minutes earlier than competitors, and the benefits that can be obtained are completely different.

So Takuya immediately called Suzuki Shiro.
