Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Noriko Okatani was also straightforward. After she finished speaking, she turned and ran away. That's right, she didn't just walk away, she ran away, leaving Mr. Saeki no chance to keep her.

"Noriko..." Mr. Saeki could only murmur as he watched Noriko Okatani leaving. Only after Noriko Okatani left did he dare to call Noriko by her name instead of using honorifics like Miss Noriko.

"Hello, uncle!" The sudden child's greeting woke Mr. Saeki from his thoughts.

"Hello, little friend." Mr. Saeki looked down in the direction of the sound and saw that it was a little friend calling him.

"Whose grave is this?" Conan was not polite at all and asked Saeki while pointing at the grave in front.

"This is the grave of a friend of mine." Saeki didn't know why the little boy who suddenly appeared asked this, but he still gave an answer.

"Oh, I thought it was the grave of the sister's boyfriend who just returned." Conan was very skillful and asked in a guiding manner to get the answer he wanted.

"You're right. He is not only my friend, but also the fiancé of the sister just mentioned." Saeki didn't expect that such a little kid knew so much and didn't hide it.

"Fiancé? When did he die?" Conan felt that something was wrong and continued to ask.

"In early June this year." Saeki was also a competent tool man and answered everything in detail.

"June? There's no doubt about it, it's the person in the photo." Conan had a preliminary answer in his mind.

"Ms. Noriko lied to me at the time, saying she was dumped by her ex-boyfriend. That's not entirely true, but it's not entirely false either. With her boyfriend's death, we were forced to break up."

Conan began to slowly reconstruct the original situation of the incident in his mind.

"Uncle, how did this man die?" Conan left the cemetery with Saeki and asked Yamaguchi Tatsuo again about the real cause of death.

"It was a traffic accident. The two of them were driving to a place called Mino Plateau in Shinshu and unfortunately crashed into a mountain wall."

Saeki also said with regret. It was supposed to be a good ride, but it ended up being a failure, causing the engaged couple to be separated forever.

[“Excuse me for asking what your relationship is with this Kitagawa?” This is what Kogoro Mori asked Noriko Okatani at the time.

"I met him in early June when I was traveling to Shinshu." These were Okatani Noriko's words at the time.

Conan's recollection ended, and the time and place all matched up. What role did this guy named Beichuan play in it? Conan couldn't help but become curious.

"What's going on? Could it be that she met Kitagawa when her fiancé had an accident?" This question lingered in Conan's mind.

"Uncle, do you know a man named Kitagawa Tsuyoshi? He's a man who drives a red sports car." Conan saw that Saeki had already opened the car door, and he was about to leave, so he hurried to ask questions.

"Driving a red sports car?" Saeki was obviously stunned, his hand that was opening the car door was suspended in mid-air, then he touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"What's the matter?" When Conan saw Saeki's condition, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his question and it would work.

"No... nothing happened." Saeki looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, which made Conan very anxious.

"Hurry up and tell me, this matter is related to the sister just now." Conan was so excited that he blurted out the secret, accidentally revealing that he knew Noriko Okatani.

"You are related to Noriko. Who are you?" Conan was too nervous and pushed too hard, and ended up revealing his true identity, which made Saeki start to doubt his identity.

"My name is Shorty Conan (Edogawa Conan), and I'm a detective!" Conan began to introduce himself.

"Detective?!" Saeki was completely stunned. Seeing such a little kid saying that he was a detective, Saeki felt that this world was too crazy, so crazy that he didn't even recognize it.

Afterwards, Conan and Saeki found a cafe to inquire about the situation in detail, directly interrupting Saeki's return drive.

"It's unbelievable! I never thought that the famous Detective Mouri would hire a child as his assistant!" After listening to Conan's introduction, Saeki still felt like it was a fairy tale.

"Hehehe~Yeah!" Conan took out a notebook and a pen and started to record everything in an orderly manner. He really looked like a little detective.

"If I didn't say that, he wouldn't tell me the truth." Conan added to himself in his heart.

Isn't this a typical example of using a tiger's skin as a banner! Or the name of Maori Kogoro is more useful, otherwise why would Saeki tell you such a child?

As for some of the unimportant things before, it would be fine if he just acted as an NPC and said some nonsense, but for the key information, without the support of Kogoro Mouri, Saeki would not have been able to cooperate so well in giving Conan the information he wanted.

"So Conan, what do you want to investigate?" After Saeki finished his sigh, he went straight to the point and asked Conan what information he wanted to know.

"I can't tell you all the details, but I'd like to know the name of Ms. Noriko's fiancé first."

Conan finally had the opportunity to ask questions formally, so he stopped hiding and started asking directly from the beginning.

"Well, his name is Tatsuo Yamaguchi. He and Noriko used to work in the same company." Saeki briefly introduced the situation of Noriko Okatani's fiancé.

"Uncle Saeki, you were shocked when you heard the red sports car just now, right?" Conan started with a simple question and immediately came to the issue that concerned him most.

"In fact, after the car accident, I happened to overhear what she said to the police..." Saeki began to reminisce.

[“A red sports car?” the police asked.

"Yes, there was a couple in the car at that time. They kept chasing us, and we had an accident when we tried to get rid of them." Noriko Okatani said weakly while lying on the hospital bed.

"Yes, we did see two different tire marks at the scene of the accident. Why did they do this?" the police officer continued.

"They were just trying to be annoying. Their car was behind us and they kept honking their modified horns like crazy. We let them go first, but they deliberately zigzag in front of us. It was all that car's fault, it was all because of them, Tatsuo..." At this point, Okatani Noriko was in so much pain that she couldn't continue.

"I understand. I'll send the Investigation Division to investigate," the officer said after recording the general process.
