Chapter 423 Takagi...Miwako?

Chapter 423 Takagi...Miwako?

Conan wrote the three Chinese characters he found on a piece of paper and gave it to Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Maori stared at the words, pinched his chin and thought about them, while constantly muttering the nouns that might contain these words, but after thinking for a long time he gained nothing.

Mao Lilan came over to take a look: "KI, BI, WA? What does this mean?"

BI? Conan was stunned. He suddenly realized that he had read "美" as "MI" for some reason. Obviously, the pronunciation "BI" is more commonly used. (The pronunciation is complicated to explain, and the author is not very proficient in Japanese. Anyway, it's good to know it.)

Maori Kogoro looked at Mizunashi Rena and asked, "Miss Mizunashi, do you have any impression of these words? For example, related programs or something like that."

Mizunashi Rena shook her head: "No," she pointed to the paper where the words were written and said, "Rather than being related to the show, don't you think these words are more like someone's name?"

A person's name? Conan suddenly had an idea. He thought of a possibility. There was a person who perfectly matched the characteristics of these words. It could also explain why he subconsciously read "美" as "MI".

"Uncle, I may know what those words mean!" Conan tilted his head back as if to seek credit, perfectly acting out the proud look of a little child.

There are strangers here, so he should be more restrained.

Oh, I miss the time when I investigated cases with Yuya and Hattori.

"Huh? You know?" Maori Kogoro looked down at Conan suspiciously, "What do you know, little brat?"

Mao Lilan couldn't help but defend Conan: "Dad, don't say that. When you solve a case, Conan often helps you at the scene, doesn't he?"

How could such a young child help the famous detective at the crime scene? Mizunashi Rena stopped ignoring Conan and looked him in the eye for the first time.

However, she hid her gaze so well that Conan didn't even notice.

Maori Kogoro curled his lips: "Then tell me what it means?"

Conan couldn't help but smile smugly: "Wait a minute, I need to make a phone call."

Maori Kogoro was a little impatient: "The little brat is always busy, move faster."

After they returned to the room, Conan took out his cell phone and called Takagi Wataru, who was quickly connected.

"Hello, Officer Takagi, this is Conan. Is it convenient to talk now?"

"Conan, sure, what's going on?"

Conan looked out the window and said into the microphone: "I want to ask, did Officer Takagi go to Room 305 of a certain apartment in Haido Town the night before yesterday?"

Takagi Wataru recalled for a moment and said, "I have been there... Why?"

When Conan asked why he went to that apartment, he subconsciously glanced at Sato Miwako who was discussing work with Miyamoto Yumi not far away, and whispered: "It's not convenient to tell you the reason."

Conan lay on the balcony door, his eyes fell on the apartment building opposite through the glass: "If I'm not mistaken, are you monitoring the apartment building opposite?"

Takagi Wataru was very surprised, but he had a good relationship with Conan, and he knew that Conan was different from ordinary children. So he looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, then hid under the table and told Conan the reason why he was there.

He went to that apartment to spy on a woman who lived in the apartment across the street. She was the ex-fiancée of a fugitive.

The police speculated that the fugitive might go looking for her, so Takagi Shigeru accepted the task and got the key from the management company, secretly hiding in Room 305 to monitor.

But that night, the fugitive was caught, and Takagi Wataru left immediately after receiving a call from Inspector Megure.

Gao Mushi asked in confusion: "Because it involves a case, I told the management company to keep it confidential. How did you know?"

Conan raised a smug smile and said slowly: "Officer Takagi..."

Noticing that Conan's tone was a little serious, Takagi couldn't help swallowing: "What's the matter?"

Conan continued, "When you were doing surveillance, you wrote on the glass, right..." He paused and suddenly changed to a very innocent voice, "You wrote Takagi Miwako, right?"

"Huh?" Takagi Wataru was shocked and stood up subconsciously, and his head hit the table with a loud bang.

Everyone in the office looked over in surprise.

Inspector Megure, who was checking the files, glared at him in dissatisfaction: "Takagi, what are you doing?"

Miwako Sato and Yumi Miyamoto also asked with some confusion what happened.

"No, it's okay! I'm sorry!" Takagi Wataru apologized quickly.

The others didn't take it too seriously. After all, they were used to Takagi Shigeru making small mistakes from time to time, so they turned around and continued to do their own things.

Takagi Wataru rubbed the hurt area and felt a bump was about to appear, but he didn't care about that. He lowered his voice and said to the microphone: "Conan! Don't tell anyone else what happened just now!"

Conan suppressed his smile and replied, "Yes, of course, no problem," but he immediately changed the subject, "But Uncle Kogoro and Sister Xiaolan are here too."

Kogoro Mori and Ran Mori also started to have some gossipy thoughts, and when they heard the name Takagi Miwako, they immediately understood something.

Kogoro Mori laughed awkwardly and secretly despised in his heart: Takagi, Takagi, you look so honest, but it turns out that there are such kind of people in this local area?

Mao Lilan remembered that day at the water park, the ring that Takagi Shigeru used to confess his love was snatched away by the drug dealer leader, and it was never found in the end, so the confession plan naturally fell through.

But Officer Takagi really likes Officer Sato. He even fantasizes about changing his name after getting married and even wrote his name on the glass.

Really...Ran Mao Li couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile like an aunt.

Rena Mizunoshi also listened to most of the conversation. Gossip is a woman's nature and she is no exception. However, she managed her expression very well and just showed a slight smile.

When Takagi Wataru heard Conan's words, he felt like the sky was falling and everything was dark.

The evidence of his delusional future events was actually discovered by someone. What's even more despairing is that the person who discovered it was an acquaintance of his.

This is simply social death! Is it too late to leave Earth and live on another planet? What is the phone number of the space agency? How much does it cost to make an appointment for planetary migration?

In just a few seconds, Takagi Shigeru had already thought of the plan for interstellar immigration.

In an instant, Takagi Wataru's wails and Inspector Megure's angry rebukes resounded throughout the entire Investigation Division.

Conan hung up the phone and repeated the result with a smile and regret.

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "So that's it. Officer Takagi forgot to erase the words before he left. As a result, after two days, only the middle three words were left..."

He crossed his arms and complained, "What the hell is this guy doing? He's really causing trouble for others!"

Mao Lilan was dissatisfied: "What does it matter? This is more like Officer Takagi!"

Mizunashi Rena agreed: "Yeah, that gentleman doesn't look like a policeman at all. He always feels cute."

She and Yoko Okino are good friends, so she has naturally met Takagi Wataru and has some impression of this somewhat stupid policeman.

Conan said regretfully: "But, won't everything have to start all over again?"

Mizuno Rena's smile immediately disappeared and she sighed with some worry.
