Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Just imagine, the fact that they have the same name alone is enough to make Noriko Matsushita and the others curious, and Conan knows even more coincidences.

Conan didn't tell them that the previous owner, Noriko Okatani, had a suitor also named Saeki. If they knew such coincidental information, it would probably shock them for a whole year.

It was this information gap that caused Conan to make the wrong judgment about the information in the eavesdropping device. Fortunately, Conan was cautious and went to the door to verify it.

Otherwise, Conan would have thought that Dr. Saeki and Noriko Okatani were together, and then the case would have become complicated. Now it is just like listening to a live broadcast.

The complexity of the case has not decreased, but instead exudes a suffocating sense of powerlessness. Because if there is indeed a connection between Noriko Okatani and Dr. Saeki, then the case at least has a direction for investigation.

But now, despite all the coincidences, there is no evidence to prove that there is anything wrong with Noriko Okatani. The only thing that exists is coincidence.

Even now, the whereabouts of Noriko Okatani are unknown, and even an investigation is impossible. So even though we know that there may be an invisible hand manipulating this, and even though we know that the real truth is far more than what we see now.

Conan is ultimately powerless, which really proves the saying that the will is there but the strength is not enough. This is the most true portrayal of Conan at this moment.

Conan returned to Dr. Agasa's car in a daze, and Dr. Agasa was also shocked when he saw Conan's condition. Is this still the Shinichi Kudo who dared to take risks, think and fight?

"Shinichi, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this after you come back from going out?" Dr. Agasa asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Doctor, but this case has to end here. We can't investigate further. Ms. Okatani Noriko has moved away and her whereabouts are unknown."

Conan said with a long sigh.

"Move? Leave?! But we clearly heard Miss Noriko's movements through the monitoring device?" Dr. Agasa asked in disbelief.

"That's right, I just knocked on Ms. Okatani's door, and a strange couple came out and told me that Ms. Okatani Noriko had sold the house to them and moved away.

The new owner of the house is Noriko Matsushita, so the Noriko we heard on the bug was actually Noriko Matsushita, not Noriko Okatani."

Conan explained to Dr. Agasa helplessly.

"How could there be such a coincidence?" Dr. Agasa asked in surprise with his mouth wide open.

"That's not all. Have you forgotten what her boyfriend's name we heard was?" Conan said with a frown.

"There are experts! Yes, we heard the man's name on the bug was Saeki. Is he the one you knew before?"

After Conan's reminder, Dr. Agasa also reacted.

"No, it's not the Dr. Saeki I know, but what's more coincidental is that Noriko Matsushita's boyfriend is also named Saeki."

Conan appeared to be calm and collected in his response, but his heart was in turmoil.

"How... could this happen? Shinichi, such a coincidence shouldn't happen. Is there something wrong here?"

The more Dr. Agasa thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he spoke up to remind Conan.

"Yes, Doctor, you see, even you have discovered the problem. No one can believe such a coincidence, but is this useful?"

Conan also agrees very much with Dr. Agasa's point of view.

"Shinichi, you're such a fool! You're making me sound like I have a low IQ? What do you mean, even I noticed it? Isn't it normal for someone as smart as me to see the problem? Otherwise, how can I be a doctor?"

Dr. Agasa was very unhappy when he heard what Conan said. What kind of words are these?

"Hehehe~ Doctor, don't worry about these details! Now everyone understands that there are too many coincidences, too many coincidences, but it's useless.

All of this is just our speculation. There is no evidence to prove that these coincidences are artificially arranged. What's more important is that now that Noriko Okatani has moved, she has completely disappeared.

Where else can we go to find her? Even if we can't find her, what good will it do? We haven't been able to find any evidence to prove her problem for so long, and even if we meet her again, we still won't be able to do anything to her.

The longer a case like this drags on, the more unlikely it is to uncover the truth, so I came back and said, "Let's go home and close this case."

Conan also helplessly stated the actual difficulties. None of these problems could be solved. He had originally thought of waiting here for Noriko Okatani to see if he could find her flaws.

In the end, all the efforts were in vain. After eavesdropping and tracking for so long, they even lost the person. It was a complete failure among failures.

"Well, it seems there's really no other way, Shinichi. Let's hurry back then. You have no idea how I've been through this week. I've lost so much weight!"

Dr. Agasa was much more open-minded than Conan. He was also a little immersed in the beginning, feeling that he had worked so hard but gained nothing in the end.

This must be a very uncomfortable feeling, but Dr. Agasa is Dr. Agasa. He figured it out quickly and thought that he didn't have to continue living such a hard life. He immediately felt much better.

After all, he is not Kudo Shinichi, and he does not have that damn strong desire to win and thirst for knowledge, so he quickly became open-minded.

The next day!

"Conan, what's wrong with you lately? You run away as soon as school is over, and you are listless in class every day. What's wrong with you?"

Ayumi asked Conan with concern after class.

"Yeah, Conan, what's wrong with you? Tell us. We, the Junior Detective Team, are here to share the good and the bad."

Genta also patted Conan's shoulder and said.

"That's right! If you need us, please let us know!" Mitsuhiko echoed unwillingly.

"Ah...it's really nothing! Thank you for your concern. It's really nothing. It's all over." Conan laughed and tried to get away with it.

"Really? The doctor has lost a lot of weight since he came back last night. Are you sure you're okay?" Huibara added while reading a book.

"What!? The doctor is involved too? That's abominable, Conan, you're investigating the case alone without telling us again, right?"

As expected, Yuantai was about to get furious when he heard this. You Conan with thick eyebrows and big eyes, my brothers are close to me, and you are playing tricks on me?

How could they have been so worried about Conan when they saw him so sullen? But for all the time they were investigating the case, they didn't even think about the Junior Detective Team. They were only interested in showing off. How abominable!
