Chapter 855: The Client's Photo

Before noon, Thursday, January 5th, Café Poirot.

Hearing Chiba Jinghua mention Kudo Shinichi, Conan's heart arose. Who is she? Mao Li shouted, "How can there be such a thing, that stinky boy has gone missing for a long time, how could I ask him for help, no, no, I have never asked him for help, I am not with him at all. It doesn't matter at all, not at all."

"Father." Lan stopped with some dissatisfaction.

"Isn't it?" Chi Bo Jinghua bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, it seems that I just heard some rumors."

"Forget it, don't mention him, let's settle your matter first." Mao Li smiled, "Actually, your matter is very simple, you first call the school you attended at that time in the name of the classmate association , ask Mr. Shibata Shiro his home address and landline phone number at that time, and where he went to study. Generally speaking, the landline phone will not change, and his parents should still be alive, so just call the landline phone , you can know Mr. Shibata's situation from Mr. Shibata's parents."

Chi Bo Jinghua asked: "But if there is any accident..."

Mori said: "Then call the school Mr. Shibata entered and ask about his home address and fixed phone number at that time. If we still can't find it, we will go to the police station where his last address belongs. As long as he doesn't change his name, we can definitely find him."

When will this be found? Conan pointed to the trophy on the photo and asked, "Uncle, is this person a champion? He must have been participating in competitions and winning prizes all the time, isn't he?"

Lan said: "By the way, Dad, we can consult the Kendo Association."

"Don't be stupid." Mori said, "They will only tell you whether Mr. Shibata participated in the competition and where he participated in the competition. It is impossible to tell you the specific address and contact information of Mr. Shibata."

"Why?" Lan asked.

Yamazaki said: "All formal associations are obliged to keep the necessary information for their members. If you can ask the contestants' information casually, then there may be a situation of manipulating the game."

"Fix the game?" Ran asked.

"Gambling, underground gambling." Yamazaki said.

"Okay, Ms. Jinghua." Mao Li gave the mobile phone to Chibo Jinghua.

"Thank you." Chiba Jinghua took the phone and called his school, reporting his name and the class he was in that year, and then asked Shiro Shiro Shibata's information in the name of holding a classmate reunion.

Not long after, the teacher on duty called back and not only told Shiro Shiro Shiro's address and landline phone number back then, but also Shiro Shiro Shiro's current address and landline phone number. Teacher, I have communicated with my alma mater. ...

Afterwards, Yamazaki went home for dinner, and Mori, Conan, Ran, and Ikebo Shizuka had lunch at Polo Cafe, and then Mori went to rent a car. ...

In the afternoon, the residential building where Shiro Shibata’s family is located in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

Mori, Yamazaki, Ran, and Conan accompanied Chiba Jinghua to Shiro Shiro's house. The names of Shiro Shibata and Kyoko Shibata were written on the house.

Maori rang the doorbell and found that no one came to answer the door, but it sounded like a TV was on in the room.

"It's strange, where did people go with the TV on?" Maori said.

"Maybe I went shopping at a convenience store." Lan said.

Maori said, "Then let's go to another place and come back later."

At this time, a middle-aged man in casual clothes came, "Are you here to look for Shibata? Why are you standing outside the door? Isn't Shibata at home?"

Maori said, "Yes, neither he nor his wife are there, but the TV seems to be on." Then he asked, "Who are you?"

"Me? I'm Takezo Yoshikawa, Shibata's neighbor.

"Yoshikawa Takezo said, "I heard Shibata say yesterday that his wife will play golf today. I think Shibata must have fallen asleep. "Speaking, he rang the doorbell, and at the same time reached out to push the door, but the door was pushed open all at once.

"Look, I said that Shibata is at home." Yoshikawa Takezo said, and then pushed the door in, "I'm Yoshikawa, I'm coming in, Shibata, get up quickly, we're about to start."

"Start what?" Molly asked.

"Of course it's mahjong, what else is there at this time." Yoshikawa Takezo laughed.

At this time, everyone took off their shoes and entered the room, and found that the TV in the living room next to the entrance was on, there were some meals on the dining table, and a newspaper, but there was no one there, so they walked along the corridor and found a person in the study Lie down next to a pile of books on the ground covered in blood, holding something in one hand.

Yoshikawa Takezo was taken aback, "What's wrong with you, Shibata?"

Maori stopped Yoshikawa Takezo, "Please don't move, I'll do it."

"What do you mean by stopping me!" Yoshikawa Takezo called.

"The blood has solidified a long time ago, and Mr. Shibata may have passed away." Mori said.

"What!" Yoshikawa Takezo was taken aback, and then looked at Mouri, "You, you are the famous detective Mori Kogoro?"

"That's right, I'm here." Mao Li smiled triumphantly, and then stepped forward to check on Shiro Shibata's condition, and found that he was really dead, so he asked Lan to notify the Henggou Police Department. ...

Half an hour later, the Henggou Police Department arrived. He saw Mao Li and said happily, "Happy New Year, Mr. Mao Li."

"Let's solve this incident first." Maori said, and then explained the situation.

"So that's it." The Henggou Police Department looked at the situation in the restaurant, "These meals seem to have been put out for a while, and this morning newspaper, it seems that something happened during breakfast."

Mori said: "Mr. Shibata's death time, I guess it was around eight o'clock in the morning."

The Henggou Police Department said: "That is to say, someone came to visit Mr. Shibata while he was having breakfast, and after being led into the study by Mr. Shibata, he attacked Mr. Shibata."

Maori said, "This man is still a master of swordsmanship."

"Mr. Maori, why do you say that?" Henggou Police Department asked.

Mori said: "Because Shibata-san himself won the championship in a regular competition when he was in junior high school, he is a master of kendo."

"So that's the case." Henggou Police Department said.

At this time, the forensic personnel came to report and could go to the scene. ...

on site.

The Henggou Police Department checked with the forensics personnel. The time of Shiro Shibata's death was speculated to be around 8:00 in the morning. The cause of death was a fatal injury to the brain. The murder weapon was a wooden sword behind the door of the study.

Mori said: "The murder weapon was left at the scene, so the murder weapon should belong to Shibata's family."

The Henggou Police Department asked: "Mr. Yoshikawa, have you seen this knife at Mr. Shibata's house?"

Yoshikawa Takezo said: "I have seen it, I have seen it."

The Henggou Police Department picked up the thing in Shiro Shibata's hand and found that it was a photo, but Mao Li was surprised when he saw it.

Henggou Police Department asked: "Mr. Maori, do you know the person in the photo?"

Chi Bo Jinghua said: "This person is me, and this photo is the one I entrusted Mr. Mao Li to find for me."...
