Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 299 Okatani Noriko's Purpose

"So it was at that time, by chance, that I heard Noriko mention the red sports car and realized that it was related to her car accident."

Saeki paused his recollection and said to Conan. Now Conan found that the situation was very different from what he had imagined.

"So, Uncle Saeki, has the troublemaker been arrested?" Conan continued to ask.

"No! I remember that time..." Saeki fell into memories again.

[“Ms. Noriko, even if we catch him, the sentence shouldn’t be too serious.” The police officer said to Noriko Okatani.

"Why is this?" Noriko Okatani turned her head and asked the police officer in disbelief.

"If his car had hit yours, that would have been a different matter, but judging by the current situation, the cause of the accident was entirely due to Mr. Yamaguchi's loss of control."

The police officer touched his chin and gave a possible characterization of the case.

"By the way. Do you remember the shape of that car and the license plate, Ms. Okatani?" When the police officer asked Okatani for details, Okatani said she had forgotten.

"At that time, Noriko told the police very confidently that she no longer remembered anything." After recalling the incident, Saeki gave this answer to Conan.

"Don't remember? Is that what she said at the time?" Conan asked quickly.

"Yes, but I saw that she looked very worried at the time and she said she couldn't remember what the couple looked like. In the end, because there were no clues, the police search operation was stopped after a month."

Saeki vividly described Noriko Okatani's condition at that time.

"No, she's lying. I remember when she came to my uncle to investigate Kitagawa Tsuyoshi, she not only knew his name, but also produced a portrait of Kitagawa Tsuyoshi, as well as the model and license plate number of the sports car.

In other words, she lied to the police officer who came to investigate the traffic accident. Did she want to use the detective to find out Kitagawa Tsuyoshi's address and then take revenge herself?

After listening to Saeki's description, Conan couldn't help but analyze it in his mind. Okatani Noriko must have heard that since Kitagawa Tsuyoshi hadn't directly hit him, the chances of him being severely punished even if he was caught were very low.

So Noriko Okatani pretended to have amnesia and concealed all the effective clues. In this way, after a month of investigation, the police found it difficult to find Kitagawa Tsushima.

Then, after the police stopped investigating, Noriko Okatani would only need to secretly investigate Kitagawa Tsuyoshi's address based on the clues in her memory and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

However, no one expected that Kitagawa Tsuyoshi had moved. As a result, it was impossible to find Kitagawa's latest address through the license plate number.

So with no other choice, Noriko Okatani could only pay a detective to help her find someone under the pretext of looking for someone she fell in love with at first sight.

In this way, everything becomes smooth, and Okatani Noriko's purpose is self-evident. Conan wants to find a way to prevent the tragedy from happening.

"Uncle, what is the rehabilitation that you and Sister Noriko mentioned just now?" Conan has already felt the urgency of time and now only hopes to find more clues, so he asked Saeki again.

"I'm a doctor. After the accident, I've been responsible for her rehabilitation." Saeki answered again.

"Then...what was Sister Noriko's condition like at that time?" Conan was curious about the extent of her rehabilitation.

"She is really extraordinary and takes rehabilitation very seriously. It would take an average person half a year to recover.

It only took her three months to be discharged from the hospital, which shocked me too! Saeki also marveled at the speed of Okatani's recovery, calling it a medical miracle.

"That's absolutely true. It was her desire for revenge for her fiancé that allowed her to stand up again so quickly."

Conan has already seen through all of Noriko Okatani's motives.

"Uncle, let's go find Sister Noriko!" After Conan figured out everything, he couldn't wait to let Saeki take him to find Noriko Okayana and stop her from doing anything stupid.

Saeki drove Conan quickly to Noriko Okayana's house. They rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

"Damn it, she's not at home. That's not right. Shouldn't I be at home waiting for news from Uncle Maori? Where could she have gone?"

Conan was thinking in his mind, and suddenly remembered something. He quickly took out his cell phone and called the Mouri Detective Agency.

"Hello, uncle, I'm Conan. Have you found out Kitagawa Tsuyoshi's new address?" Conan went straight to the point.

"Yes, it took me a lot of effort and a lot of connections to finally find out Kitagawa Tsuyoshi's latest address."

At this time, Kogoro Mouri had already entered the MVP settlement time to complete a commission, and he had already gotten himself drunk.

"What?! Have you told Miss Noriko?" Conan didn't expect that Kogoro Mouri would be so efficient this time.

"Of course. Miss Noriko has just sent the balance of the commission. But it's a pity that the guy named Kitagawa is already living with another woman.

So Miss Okatani will be disappointed, and won't have the chance to fall in love with that guy. But why are you asking this?"

Kogoro Mouri was already drunk, and after he finished talking to Conan, he remembered to ask Conan why he wanted to know all this.

"Uncle, that guy named Beichuan might be in danger. Miss Noriko didn't come to him for love, she came to him for revenge..."

Conan told the whole story in a long and rambling manner. The more he listened, the more frightened Kogoro Mouri became, and he sobered up a lot.

"So uncle, where is Kitagawa's new address? We have to rush over to stop Miss Noriko from doing anything stupid." Conan asked Kogoro Mouri anxiously.

However, before Mouri Kogoro could answer, Conan saw Noriko Okatani coming back from outside. This surprised Conan so much that he opened his mouth as wide as he could, enough to fit a goose egg in it.

"Ms. Noriko, you're back..." Conan said in disbelief, his voice stammering.

"Hey, Conan, who did you say is back? Conan, can you still hear me?" However, Conan's attention was completely attracted by Noriko Okatani, and he had no intention of answering Kogoro Mouri's question.

"Huh!? Why are you at my doorstep? And why are you two together?" Noriko Okatani asked in surprise.
