Chapter 701 The Summer Competition 30 Years Ago

Chapter 1571 The Summer Competition Thirty Years Ago

I like knitting and often knit sweaters, but I ended up with bad bronchial problems. I put band-aids on my hands because I injured my fingers while cutting vegetables. However, the placement of the band-aids obviously didn’t look like how I would normally cut vegetables with a kitchen knife. Arrive at the location...

In this way, when he heard the lady who called herself "Ikeha" chatting with Mouri Kogoro, Conan's expression looked a little solemn, and he realized that this lady might not be simple.

Just like that, while chatting in the office, there was dust floating in the reception room of the office because Xiaolan had just cleaned it, which made Ms. Chibo, who had bad bronchial problems, cough frequently.

From this, after Mouri Kogoro learned about this situation, he waved his hand with an air of grandeur and went directly to the "Poirot Cafe" downstairs to continue the conversation——

"What? Find the other party to get back a photo?"

After arriving at Café Poirot, he found a seat and sat down. Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting face to face with Ms. Ikeha, couldn’t help but ask after listening to the other party’s more clear explanation of the content of the commission.

"Yes."

In this regard, Ms. Chibo nodded and affirmed:

"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 middle school. It shows me standing holding the runner-up medal. Because a while ago, my grandmother didn't I made a mistake and lost the medal, so I thought——

“At least keep that picture.”

"Then...why is that photo at Mr. Shibata's place?"

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro asked with some doubts.

"I used that 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 already moved."

Ms. Chibo explained regretfully.

So, after Kogoro Mouri confirmed the situation, he tried to ask Ms. Ikeha if she could recall more relevant information about Mr. Shibata.

In this way, after a brief chat at the Poirot Cafe, the waitress named Azusa Enomoto at the Poirot Cafe came forward and asked normally:

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

"Oh! Xiaozi, I'm so sorry, I almost forgot! Then I want coffee!"

In this regard, seeing Azusa Enomoto coming over, Kogoro Mouri responded apologetically. It seemed that he was paying too much attention to Ms. Ikeha and neglected the situation that he was in the store.

"Then I want iced lemon tea!"

Then, Xiaolan continued.

"Well... then I want to..."

In response, Conan looked at the menu, thinking about what to order——

"REIKO..."

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

Suddenly, because they were originally talking about what clues Ms. Ikeha remembered, after hearing this, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but ask:

"Reiko (RE I KO)? Who is she?"

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

Ms. Chibo explained with a helpless smile.

In this regard, after hearing this answer, Mouri Kogoro was also slightly disappointed——

"It's really not easy to find..."

Just as he sighed, Conan also decided what he wanted to order, and told Azusa Enomoto that he wanted "iced coffee," and Ms. Ikeha also echoed, "Just like him."

In this way, after the interlude of ordering food, Mouri Kogoro summarized the existing clues:

"The only clues are name, age and this photo from thirty years ago. This is really..."

Even though Mouri Kogoro no longer had the initial perfunctory attitude and was determined to help Ms. Ikeha, the current clues were too few.

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

"Really……"

At this time, because she heard what Mouri Kogoro said, Ms. Chiha couldn't help but sigh, and then said somewhat seriously:

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

At this point, Conan was interrupted.

"ah?"

It was somewhat inexplicable. I didn’t know what Ms. Chihao was talking about, which made Mouri Kogoro and Conan stunned——

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

With a serious expression, after Ms. Chi Bo said these words, the other three people present immediately changed their expressions——

Among them, Mouri Kogoro looked deeply disappointed.

Conan, on the other hand, turned his head and looked at the client who obviously had a problem in surprise, feeling nervous——

"This is bad. Are there such rumors? If such rumors have spread, they might reach the ears of those people..."

As for Xiaolan, she glanced at Conan as if panicked for a moment, then laughed bitterly and said as if joking:

"This...is nothing! He only contacts us occasionally, but when he comes to the office..."

"That kid won't come back!"

Mouri Kogoro said with a smile as if he had heard something funny.

In this regard, seeing that the Mouri father and daughter answered like this, especially since Kogoro Moori didn't seem to be lying, Ms. Chiha 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 Conan had been interrupted just now, Ms. Chibo asked Conan to continue his speech.

So, Conan showed an innocent look and asked:

"Since this brother holds the championship trophy in his hand, that means he won first place in this competition, right? If he was so good in middle school, will he also participate in certain competitions now? ?”

Immediately, as soon as these words came out, the expressions of Mouri Kogoro and Ms. Ikeha suddenly changed slightly, and they looked at Conan with some surprise. Then Mouri Kogoro seriously looked at the photo that Ms. Ikeha brought, and thought seriously. After a while, he seemed to pay attention...

…

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

His eyes turned back to Toto University Hospital.

At this time, after a whole night, there was no danger to his life, but Tie Zhuyu, who was just out of strength, finally woke up after resting.

In this regard, Tie Zhuyu woke up and looked at the people guarding him. In addition to his few safe friends, his mother Tie Michiko and Lian Xiaoai were also there. This meant that Gao Yuan is also there.

So, he couldn't help but, as soon as he woke up, Tie Zhuyu asked about the mysterious warrior's subsequent situation after he fell into coma. After learning that there were currently no clues and that the warrior could not be found, Tie Zhuyu thought about it carefully. Thinking about the situation of his fight with the mysterious warrior, he wanted to try to find some clues from the opponent's tricks.

As a result, Tie Zhuyu's recollection actually gave him a clue——

"I seem to have seen this person use the same set of tactics when fighting you, pressing you down."

In this regard, Michiko Tetsumi looked at what her daughter described and suddenly said this with certainty.

As a result, Gao Yuan, who had no further ideas for the time being, was suddenly startled, and then asked Michiko Tetsumi where she had seen this set of formulas before——

"About thirty years ago, when I participated in the summer kendo competition. In the men's finals, the student who won the championship used this set of formulas to turn defeat into victory after catching the opponent's flaw."

So, I got this clue——

About thirty years ago, the men's champion of the Kendo Summer Competition...

With these, Gao Yuan found the name of the person mentioned by Michiko Tetsumi——

Shibata Shiro!
