Chapter 1055 Famous Detective vs. Old Oily Uncle(2/2)
Akai Shuichi was silent for another second and said solemnly: "If you use my mouth to tell the truth and hurt people who are still alive, it will feel like you have committed a crime with your own hands."
"In comparison, suffering criticism is a price I can bear..."
As soon as Akai Shuichi finished speaking, there was a strange noise coming from the keyhole of the security door at the entrance.
Qin Zhibo looked back and saw that Amuro Toru opened the door and came in.
Seeing Qin Zhibo, Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "When I got the key from the landlord, I heard that you had left..."
Qin Zhibo nodded, "Well, I left in the morning, but I came back again."
Toru Amuro turned his head slightly and saw Akai Shuichi sitting in a wheelchair in the living room. It seemed that the two of them had just whispered something.
"What did you say to him? Has his memory returned?"
Even under the current situation, Toru Amuro is still wary of Akai Shuichi's existence. The reason is because of the incident on the rooftop three years ago.
No matter whether Zhu Fu Jingguang is alive now or who he is living for, that incident is a scar in Amuro Toru's heart that will never be removed.
"Nothing, just some adults discussing life~"
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Qin Zhibo patted Toru Amuro on the shoulder and walked past him.
…
After leaving the office, Qin Zhibo walked to the parking lot and called Yasuharu Haneda.
Following the two meetings and exchanges between the two, Qin Zhibo already had the contact number of Haneda Yasuharu. If there is an emergency, there is no need to contact Jiutian Angel through the official website.
Soon, the phone was connected.
Qin Zhibo revealed his identity and then went straight to the topic.
"There are some very important things that cannot be explained clearly on the phone. I need to meet with you."
Yasuharu Haneda, who was on the other side of the phone, thought for a moment and responded: "Okay, then come to my house."
"My home address is Acupo..."
Yasuharu Haneda can't live with popcorn, but it's a wise choice.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Qin Zhibo hung up the phone and jogged back to the parking spot, which was near the apartment building where he met the young detective team.
Having felt that someone was observing him upstairs, Qin Zhibo did not drive away immediately in order to avoid suspicion.
But now that I think about it, Conan felt a little out of sorts after he came back from the apartment building, and when he mentioned the case on the American Island, it was as if he suddenly had an enlightenment.
Is it because I saw some clues in front of the mailbox in the apartment building?
What clue is so magical that it can easily solve the mystery on the American island?
…
Qin Zhibo came to the apartment building again and scanned the surnames of the household heads on the mailbox.
Every last name is so common that there are no useful clues at all.
But just when Qin Zhibo felt that Conan just had a sudden "eureka", his eyes fell on one of the very special surnames.
Wakasa.
In Japan, Wakasa has two meanings, one is Japanese rice varieties, and the other is Wakasa Bay in Fukui Prefecture, where the American Island is located.
In the past, Japanese civilians did not have surnames, which resulted in a large number of people with repeated names, which made daily life very inconvenient.
So Emperor Meiji issued an edict, declaring that common people must have surnames. It was at that time that many Japanese people got their surnames.
For example, the canine doctor at Aido Pet Hospital, his last name is not "dog breeder", but "dog breeder", which means that his ancestor's profession is to raise dogs.
In addition to occupations, there are many surnames based on the places where civilians live, such as surnames on the mountain, Murakami, and Turtle Island.
And Wakasa, does it also mean that this person’s ancestors lived in Wakasa Bay?
Maybe this person appeared and said something unintentionally, letting Conan know that the longevity woman on the American island was fake.
Qin Zhibo entered the apartment. There was a management office next to the lobby on the first floor. There was an old man sitting inside watching a small TV.
"Hello, sir, has Wakasa from 322 upstairs been out today?"
"What narrowness?"
"Wakasa."
"What if?"
"like……"
Qin Zhibo saw that this old man was a slicker, and he could only change his tactics.
"Uncle, I have 1,000 yen here. Can you remember it now?"
"Huh?" The old man took the 1,000 yen note and his ears suddenly stopped reading. It was a miracle of life.
"Wakasa, she didn't go out today, she basically doesn't live here."
"Okay, I understand, thank you sir."
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, touched the table where the small TV was placed, turned and left the management room and walked out of the apartment building.
After watching Qin Zhibo leave, the old man picked up the landline phone on the table and dialed a series of numbers.
"Miss Wakasa?"
"I'm the manager of the apartment. Someone came to inquire about you today."
"It's a man. I recognize him. He is the famous detective who often appears on TV, Qin Zhibo..."
The administrator was quietly making a small report, but little did he know that there was a yellow round sticker stuck under the table.
Qin Zhibo didn't go far, he just stood against the wall next to the door of the apartment building, listening to what was going on inside.
really……
When the old man accepted the money to answer his questions, Qin Zhibo heard something was wrong.
If Wakasa basically doesn't live here, the old man can just answer directly that Wakasa doesn't live here, instead of saying "I didn't go out today."
This kind of answer can only mean that someone asked him to answer like this when faced with other people's questions.
So the old man answered his own question subconsciously, and then remembered the "standard answer" given by his employer.
