Stay away from Conan

Chapter 1571 Summer Contest 30 Years Ago

She likes knitting and often knits sweaters, but she has a bad bronchus. She said she put band-aids on her hands because she injured her fingers while cutting vegetables, but the places where the band-aids were put on were obviously not the places where she would cut vegetables with a kitchen knife normally...

So, when Conan heard the lady who called herself "Ikenami" talking to Maori Kogoro, his expression became a little solemn, and he realized that this lady might not be simple.

Just like that, while chatting in the office, because Xiaolan had just cleaned, there was dust in the reception room of the office, which made Ms. Ikenami, who had a bad bronchus, cough frequently.

Therefore, after Maori Kogoro learned about this situation, he waved his hand generously and went directly to the "Poro Cafe" downstairs to continue the conversation-

"What? You found the other party to get back a photo?"

After arriving at the Poro Cafe, he found a seat and sat down. Maori Kogoro, who sat face to face with Ms. Ikenami, couldn't help but ask after listening to the other party's more clear explanation of the commission.

"Yes."

Ms. Ikebo nodded and said:

"His name is Shibata Shiro, and that photo is the only photo I took when I participated in the summer competition in my third year of junior high school. It shows me standing with the runner-up medal. Because my grandmother accidentally lost the medal a while ago, I thought--"At least keep the photo."

"Then... why is the photo with Mr. Shibata?"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro asked with some confusion.

"At that time, I used the photo as a bookmark and put it in the book I borrowed from him, but I forgot to take it out and returned the book to him. By the time I found out, he had moved. "

Ms. Ikenami explained with some regret.

So, after confirming the situation, Maori Kogoro tried to ask Ms. Ikenami if she could recall more information about Mr. Shibata.

Just like that, after a brief chat at the Poirot Cafe, the waitress named Azusa Enomoto in the Poirot Cafe also came forward and asked normally:

"Have you decided? What do you want to order?"

"Oh! Azusa, I'm so sorry, I almost forgot! Then I'll have coffee!"

In response, Maori Kogoro responded to Azusa Enomoto with some apology, as if he was too focused on Ms. Ikenami and neglected the situation in the store.

"Then I want iced lemon tea! "

Then, Xiaolan continued.

"Well... Then I want..."

And in response, Conan was looking through the menu, thinking about what to order--

"REIKO..."

Suddenly, this word came out of Ms. Ikenami's mouth.

Immediately, because they were originally talking about what clues Ms. Ikenami remembered, after hearing this, Maori Kogoro couldn't help asking:

"Reiko (REI KO)? Who is she?"

"Ah! Nothing. It's just that he often calls me that. Because he often said that my personality is very similar to a girl named Reiko in the book he lent me, so..."

Ms. Ikenami explained with a helpless smile.

Hearing this answer, Maori Kogoro was also a little disappointed-

"It's really not easy to find it this way..."

Just as he sighed, Conan also chose what to order, and told Enomoto Azusa that he wanted "iced coffee", and Ms. Ikenami also echoed "same as him".

Just like that, after the episode of ordering food, Maori Kogoro summarized the existing clues:

"Only There are only the name, age and this photo from 30 years ago as clues, which is really..."

Even though Maori Kogoro no longer had the perfunctory attitude at the beginning and wanted to help Ms. Ikeba, the clues at the moment were too scarce.

However, Conan seemed to have some ideas about this situation, and when he called "Uncle"——

"Really..."

At this time, because of what Maori Kogoro said, Ms. Ikeba sighed, and then said seriously:

"In that case, can you borrow the wisdom of those two people?"

At this point, she interrupted Conan's words.

"Ah?"

Somewhat inexplicably, not knowing what Ms. Ikeba said, Maori Kogoro and Conan were all stunned——

"Not to mention the wise detective, I once heard someone say...the high school student detective Kudo Shinichi often comes in and out of your detective agency. "

Ms. Ikebo said this with a serious expression, and the other three people present immediately changed their faces--

Among them, Maori Kogoro looked very disappointed.

And Conan turned his head and looked at this obviously problematic client in surprise, and he couldn't help but feel nervous--

"This is bad, has such a rumor spread? If this rumor has spread, it might reach the ears of those people..."

As for Xiaolan, she looked at Conan as if she was panicked for a moment, and then she laughed bitterly and said as if jokingly:

"This... is not the case! He just contacts us occasionally, but comes to the office..."

"That kid won't come back!"

Maori Kogoro really smiled as if he had heard something funny.

Seeing that Maori and his daughter answered like this, especially seeing that Maori Kogoro did not seem to be lying, Ms. Ikenami did not continue the topic, but looked at Conan beside her -

"By the way, Conan, what do you think? You seemed to have something to say just now."

Because she had just interrupted Conan, Ms. Ikenami asked Conan to continue his speech.

So, Conan showed an innocent look and asked:

"Since this brother is holding the championship trophy, it means that he won the first place in this competition, right? If he was so good in middle school, would he participate in some competitions now?"

Soon, as soon as this was said, Maori Kogoro and Ms. Ikenami suddenly changed their expressions and looked at Conan in surprise. Then Maori Kogoro looked at the photo brought by Ms. Ikenami again seriously. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have noticed...

...

"Shibata Shiro? Is it... this person?"

The sight turned back to Touto University Hospital.

At this time, after a night, Tetsu Moroha, who was not in danger of life but was exhausted, finally woke up after resting.

In response, Tetsu Moroha, who woke up, looked at the people who were guarding him. In addition to his friends who were safe and sound, there was also his mother Tetsu Michiko, and even Xiao Ai, which meant Gao Yuan was also there.

Therefore, when she woke up, she asked about the mysterious warrior's later situation after she fell into a coma. After learning that there was no clue and the warrior could not be found, she carefully recalled the fight between her and the mysterious warrior, trying to find some clues from the opponent's moves.

As a result, it was this recollection of Tetsu Moroha that actually yielded a clue -

"I seem to have seen the set of moves that this person used to suppress you when fighting with you."

In response, Tetsu Michiko looked at her daughter's description and suddenly said this sentence with certainty.

As a result, Gao Yuan, who had no further ideas at the moment, was stunned. He then asked Tetsu Michiko where she had seen this set of patterns before - "About thirty years ago, when I participated in the Summer Kendo Competition. In the men's final, the student who won the championship used this set of patterns to catch the opponent's flaw and turn defeat into victory." In this way, he got this clue - about thirty years ago, the Kendo Summer Competition, the men's champion... With these, Gao Yuan found the name of the person mentioned by Tetsu Michiko - Shibata Shiro!
