Stay away from Conan

Chapter 255 Helpless Result

"Actually in Shikoku Island?"

Looking at the content of the email on her phone, Hanada Emi couldn't help but think deeply——

I thought that after Miyano Shiho got rid of the organization's tracking in Kyoto, she would stay in Kyoto for a while and wait for the limelight to pass before taking action, but she didn't expect that she would run from Kyoto to Shikoku Island so quickly.

Shikoku Island?

Mitarashi Kyosuke!

Because she had seen the photo of Miyano Shiho and Mitarai Kyosuke in college, Hanada Emi somewhat understood why Miyano Shiho went there, and compared to other places, Shikoku Island was indeed an area that the organization had not put any effort into managing. After all, it's quite remote there.

However, thinking about it this way, Hanada Emi is still a little puzzled. After all, if Mitarai Kyousuke is still alive, then there is indeed a good reason for her to run to Shikoku.

But the problem is that Kyosuke Mitarai is dead, and Miyano Shiho also knows this, so why does she still go there?

Could it be that they had some agreement before?

Thinking of this, Hanada Emi immediately took action and prepared to leave for Shikoku Island - maybe, along the way, we could find out who set the fire!

…

“I didn’t receive the email that was supposed to be sent every year this year?”

After hearing Haiyuan Ai's narration, Gao Yuan seemed to understand something——

A tradition that has continued for so many years has stopped this year, and Sawaguchi Mayu chose to die at this time. It seems that there must be some connection between the two!

Thinking of Sawaguchi Mayu's attitude towards Asami Taro and the fact that they are both students in the Department of Pharmacology, is it possible that that email number belongs to Asami Taro?

After Asami Taro disappeared on purpose, he used this kind of email to deliver news to Sawaguchi Mayu, and Sawaguchi Mayu also used this to know that Asami Taro was still alive, which also led to her not getting married even now...

That’s not quite right either.

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan noticed a problem, that is Sawaguchi Mayu's ex-boyfriend.

If Mayu Sawaguchi saw that email sixteen years ago and knew Taro Asami was still alive, then why would Mayu Sawaguchi still date and live with her ex-boyfriend?

Judging from the time, during the time they were dating and living together, Sawaguchi Mayu should have known that Asami Taro was still alive. If her feelings for Asami Taro were consistent, then why would she still find a boyfriend?

Thinking about it, Gao Yuan arranged in his mind a timeline of events related to Taro Asami over the past twenty years. Because the information was very limited, the information that could be arranged was also very limited.

However, even so, Gao Yuan still felt that he could see something. Just like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think deeply——

"Akechi... Akechi? Akechi!"

In the earphones, Haiyuan Ai noticed that Gao Yuan had been quiet after listening to her narration, so she couldn't help but ask aloud, but she called the surname "Akechi" several times, but received no response.

After thinking for a moment and recalling his speculation just now, Haiyuan Ai had a smile on his lips and murmured into the microphone:

"lofty?"

"What's wrong?"

When he heard this title, Gao Yuan couldn't help but come back to his senses and asked, but his mind was still on what he had just been thinking about.

"What do you think about the email?"

Hui Yuan Ai seemed to be successful and said with a slight smile.

"Judging from the time when the emails were interrupted, it is possible that Sawaguchi Mayu's choice to die had a lot to do with this."

Gao Yuan replied in a low voice, "But if the source of the email is really the person we judged, then how should we explain the matter between Mayu Sawaguchi and her ex-boyfriend? After all, calculated this way, sixteen years ago, Sawaguchi Mayu has already received the email.”

"Ah, Mr. Detective, can't you figure it out?"

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, judging from the time period when Mayu Sawaguchi was dating his ex-boyfriend, it was obvious that she had given up hope in her relationship with that person."

Gao Yuan said without denying, "However, she still refused to marry her ex-boyfriend in the end. This is a bit difficult to understand! What if those emails were not from sixteen years ago, but started the year Mayu Sawaguchi refused to get married? Received, then all the conjectures are very reasonable, but now..."

"Well, indeed."

As Haiyuan Ai spoke, he rested his right elbow on the table, tilted his face slightly, and leaned on the palm of his right hand. He frowned slightly and began to think, with a slight blush appearing on his cheeks——

"Getting married..."

Muttering to himself, Haiyuan Ai glanced at the very delicate bracelet on his right wrist, inlaid with dots of rubies——

Suddenly, Hui Yuan Ai seemed to think of something, raised his head, and said into the microphone:

"Get married! Sawaguchi Mayu has never been married. What about that person?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan realized something and recalled——

According to Ooka Kiyosaku, Asami Taro should have gotten married not long after graduation, but the marriage partner was not the "Louis" he had more than 20 years ago.

If Taro Asami really kept in touch with Mayu Sawaguchi after his deliberate disappearance, given their relationship, Mayu Sawaguchi should naturally know about Taro Asami’s marriage!

Arranging this information onto Taro Asami’s timeline of more than twenty years, a possibility emerged——

"He did get married after graduation."

Gao Yuan whispered.

"If that's the case, it makes sense—"

"Because that person got married, Sawaguchi Mayu felt that she no longer had hope for this relationship, so gradually, she began to try to accept new relationships."

Haiyuan Ai also thought of this possibility.

"But later, Sawaguchi Mayu learned something that caused her feelings for that person to rekindle!"

Gao Yuan said——

"That man's wife passed away!"

Gao Yuan and Haiyuan Ai came to the conclusion in unison.

"This would explain Sawaguchi Mayu's awkward attitude towards her ex-boyfriend's relationship."

Gao Yuan whispered, "Furthermore, it seems that Sawaguchi Mayu chose to die this year because this year's mail was not delivered on time!"

"But, wise."

Haiyuan Ai said with a somewhat heavy tone, "If this is the case, it means that the person you are looking for has already..."

"Well, it seems so."

Feeling a little helpless, Gao Yuan sighed——

A tradition that has lasted for sixteen years has stopped this year, which means that the other party may no longer be able to send emails - that is, dead!

"The reasoning is over, let's start closing the case."

"Comprehensive evaluation of case closure: B"

"Logic: S"

"Knowledge: B"

"Social: C"

"The settlement is completed, the overall score reaches B, and the reward is 30."

"This case is too difficult, and an additional reward of 50 will be added. Since the overall score reaches B, an additional reward of 30 will be awarded."

"Detective Rating: Certified Detective"

"Bounty: 1400"

Looking at the settlement panel about this incident that just appeared at this moment, Gao Yuan felt a little helpless——

The "Logic" evaluation is "S", which means that the conclusion is correct, which means - Taro Asami has been missing for so many years, but he is still dead after all!
