Chapter 216: The Three Crosstalkers, the Death of Itakura Taku

Kogoro Mori found that there were chess, Go and shogi in Taku Itakura's room in the video, but the client said that he only brought a laptop and corresponding storage devices.

Looking at the layout of Itakura Taku's room, it is obviously not a small hotel. There is a high probability that these three chess pieces are borrowed from the hotel.

And a guest who stayed in the hotel for a week and borrowed three completely different kinds of chess pieces would definitely impress the hotel waiters.

So Kogoro Mori came up with a somewhat stupid but very practical idea - that is, to call each hotel one by one and pretend to be a guest who borrowed three types of chess pieces.

If the waiter knew such a guest, he would know which hotel Itakura Taku was staying in. Then, by getting the room number from the waiter, he would be able to find out where Itakura Taku lived.

I don’t know if it was because of the presence of his daughter, who was so lucky, but Kogoro Mori only made a few phone calls and found out Taku Itakura’s location.

Room 2004 of Beika Hotel. (Don't ask why it's in Beika Town. It's because of the plot.)

Now that they knew the location, everyone rushed there without stopping.

Before entering the lobby, Maori Kogoro suddenly thought of something: "Come to think of it, you three are making the same type of game, so you should be competitors, right? Why did you come to me for commissions at the same time?"

Subei explained: "We saw the video and found out that Mr. Itakura accepted three commissions at the same time."

Soma said, "So we got together and planned to talk things out."

Naito: "So I suggested to see Mr. Mori."

Subei said anxiously, "I was the one who asked to commission a detective to find someone, right?"

Naito shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I was the first one to mention Mr. Maori's name."

Soma was not satisfied either: "I was the one who called!"

Maoli Xiaowu was speechless. These three people didn't look like competitors at all. They were talking to each other, but rather like a crosstalk.

After entering the lobby, Kogoro Maori habitually raised his watch to check the time.

Xu Bei saw his watch and kindly reminded him: "You will be disliked if you wear this cheap watch!"

Kogoro Maori looked at him in confusion.

Naito continued: "Mr. Itakura is very picky about watches."

Soma: "So we all changed to brand-name watches."

Subei: "Are those watches you two are wearing real ones?"

Kogoro Mouri lowered his eyes speechlessly. These three people came again and had a long conversation about whether the watch was genuine.

Maori Kogoro walked into the elevator with a headache, and said to Naito who came in last: "Mr. Naito, please press the elevator button."

Naito responded, fumbled on the control panel for a while, and pressed the button for the 20th floor.

Conan glanced casually and noticed that he used the Braille next to the buttons to find the floor.

Everyone came to the door of Room 2004, rang the doorbell, and waited for a while but no one opened the door.

Naito: "He's not going out to eat, is he?"

Subei: "No choice, let's just wait here for a while."

Soma: "Now that we know the place, there's no need to rush."

Kogoro Mouri:... You three should stop making game software and start performing crosstalk. You will definitely become famous.

Just at this moment, in the room on the other side, the waiter opened the door for a guest who forgot to bring his key.

Conan took a look and came up with a plan. He ran over and shouted, "Uncle, can you help open my uncle's door? He seemed to have forgotten that we were coming to see him today and he went out to eat and was not in the room."

The waiter looked embarrassed.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Conan covered his lower body and jumped up, "I can't hold it anymore!"

A drop of cold sweat ran down the waiter's forehead. He took a look and felt that these people were probably not suspicious persons, so he helped them open the door.

Conan rushed into the toilet, still shouting: "I'm coming out, I'm coming out!"

Everyone entered the room, and Conan came out of the bathroom only after the door was closed.

Of course, he was pretending to be in a hurry to pee, just to trick the waiter into opening the door for them.

Naito said with some admiration: "Little boy, you are so smart!"

Conan smiled innocently: "If Mr. Itakura comes back and sees so many people waiting for him, he will definitely be scared and run away immediately."

"But kid, you don't have to worry about this. You see, Mr. Itakura is just asleep."

Conan looked into the room and saw a person lying on the table motionless, as if he was asleep.

Soma was the first to walk over, nudged Itakura Taku and shouted, "Mr. Itakura, wake up."

Naito laughed and made a gesture to wake someone up: "Mr. Itakura, get up! You can't run away!"

However, what no one expected was that after Soma's push, Itakura Taku's body tilted and he fell to the ground motionless.

"Mr. Itakura?!" Soma was shocked. He didn't use much strength just now? How did he fall to the ground directly?

Maori Kogoro hurried forward to check on Itakura Taku, his expression becoming serious: "Looking at this, I'm afraid he has been dead for more than a day."

"How is this possible?!" The three were shocked and looked at Itakura Taku who had been dead for a long time with horror.

"I, I'll call the police!" Mao Lilan reacted quickly and ran out in a hurry.

Maori Kogoro noticed the medicine bottle lying on the table, and then saw that Itakura Taku was holding his chest. Combined with Itakura Taku saying in the video that he had a bad heart, he guessed: "Mr. Itakura probably died of a sudden heart attack."

Conan squatted down and looked at Itakura Taku carefully, and his expression suddenly became serious.

No, Itakura Taku didn’t die of a heart attack, he was killed by someone!

Conan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. Why? He was just one step away from getting information about the organization from Itakura Taku, so how could he be killed by someone by such a coincidence?

He glanced around the room unwillingly, and soon found a floppy disk labeled "Diary" in Itakura Taku's luggage bag.

Conan's pupils shrank slightly. Diary? There might be something about the organization in it!

He walked over uncontrollably, trying to reach out for the floppy disk, but the next second he flew into the air.

No, he was lifted up by Kogoro Mouri, grabbing his collar.

"You little brat, don't touch anything here!" Kogoro Mouri yelled and threw Conan to the side without mercy.

Conan grimaced and covered his buttocks that were broken into two pieces, looking at Kogoro Mouri squatting in front of the suitcase looking at the things inside, his eyes slightly narrowed.

We must find a way to get that floppy disk!
