The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 470: Searching for Itakura Taku

Maori Detective Agency

"Oh, this person is the game software system engineer, Mr. Itakura Taku, who suddenly disappeared a week ago."

Kogoro Mouri was holding a photo in his hand. He looked carefully at the man in the photo who was wearing glasses, had a mustache, and looked a bit thin.

Then, he placed the photo on the coffee table in the office and said this to the three men in front of him.

"Yes, this is Itakura Taku."

Among the three men, a young man with short brown hair and wearing a light brown suit nodded.

The purpose of the three of them visiting the Mouri Detective Agency today was to ask the famous detective Kogoro Mouri to help them find the person in the photo.

"that,"

Maori Kogoro thought of what they had said before, and asked the three men with some doubt,

"You said that this Mr. Itakura is not the first time he has disappeared. What do you mean?"

“Ha, this one.”

The person who spoke before answered Maori Kogoro's question.

"Mr. Itakura has a bad habit. Every time the game software is about to expire, he likes to pretend to disappear."

"Um,"

Another strong-looking, short and fat man with a Mediterranean look and wearing a dark brown suit nodded and agreed with the previous man.

"I thought that Mr. Itakura might be in the same situation."

"Humph!"

The last man in the green suit snorted coldly and said unhappily,

"Even if that's the case, we don't have the time to wait for him to come out on his own initiative."

"But the last time we asked the police for help, they were very reluctant and scolded us, so we can only ask you for help."

"Haha, that's how it is."

Kogoro Mori scratched his head and chuckled twice.

To be honest, he had been thinking about organizing Miss Yoko Okino's videotapes today, but who knew that Xiaolan would take on this commission on her own initiative.

There was no other way. He could only discuss with these people honestly how to find Mr. Itakura Taku in a short time.

While Kogoro Mouri was chatting with a few others, Xiaolan brought him tea from the side.

Conan, the big-headed kid, was lying on the sofa next to Mouri Kogoro, bored, listening to the conversation of several people casually.

He had actually paid some deliberate attention to it before. After all, he wanted to find clues about that organization. That organization had appeared at a game launch conference of Mantiantang a long time ago, and had a relationship with an engineer.

So when he heard the word game and the word engineer, he suddenly perked up.

But later I heard from these people that Mr. Itakura Taku often disappeared, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with that organization.

Conan was thinking about it, while the Mediterranean man handed a postcard to Maori Kogoro.

"Mr. Maori, if you find anything later, please be sure to contact our company immediately!"

Kogoro Mori took the postcard and was about to nod in response.

But immediately there came the dissatisfied voices of two other men nearby.

"Are you kidding me? The one who paid the most money this time is our company!"

"Hey, hey, hey, it was our company that first proposed to ask Mr. Itakura to design the software, and he was also the first to accept our company's order!"

Forehead......

Kogoro Mouri was slightly stunned when he saw the three people in front of him who were originally talking to each other in a friendly manner, but suddenly they started to quarrel.

Then, he seemed to understand the current situation.

"Wait, you three are not from the same company?"

"Of course not!"

The three of them shouted in unison.

At this point, the three of them remembered that they seemed to have not introduced themselves to Kogoro Mori.

So, the coffee-haired man spoke first.

"I am the person in charge of the company that asked Mr. Itakura to design the Go software. My name is Subekro."

As soon as he said this, the Mediterranean man next to him followed suit.

"I'm the person in charge of designing the chess game software for Mr. Itakura. My name is Naito Sadahei."

The last person also introduced himself.

"My name is Soma Ryusuke, and I'm the head of the company that hired him to design the chess game software."

Listening to the introductions of several people, Maori Kogoro took a sip of the tea brought by Xiaolan, and black lines seemed to appear on his forehead.

"Well, I want to ask you something."

"Is Mr. Itakura really so powerful? He can actually design the game products of all three of you at once?"

"Of course it's impossible!"

The three of them shouted in unison once again,

"That's why we have to ask him for clarification!"

“Is this the case?”

Kogoro Maori nodded in confusion.

As if realizing that the three of them had lost their composure, Subaru straightened his clothes and said to Maori Kogoro in a deep voice,

"The main reason we went to see Mr. Itakura Taku this time was to make it clear to him that we should only do one."

"Otherwise, such behavior is a violation of our company's regulations, and we can sue him!"

"That's right!"

Soma Ryusuke on the side also nodded, his words full of disgust for Itakura Taku.

"When we went to him individually, he always told us that he had not received any orders from any company at the moment, so we could rest assured."

"But now, when the deadline is approaching, he disappears!"

Ryusuke Soma's words also made Kogoro Mori feel that this Itakura Taku was a little abstract.

You can eat a fat man in one bite without worrying about getting sick from bloating.

"So,"

Maori Kogoro continued to ask,

"When did you know that Mr. Itakura took so many orders at once?"

"The three of us found out a week ago."

Naito Sadahei, who looked the strongest, took out a laptop from his briefcase, opened a video, then turned the computer around and motioned for Mouri Kogoro to take a look.

"When we came here, we knew about it because everyone received the email and saw the video attached to it."

Kogoro Mouri looked intently at the video in the laptop.

In the middle of the laptop screen, a man named Itakura Taku, wearing a dark green shirt, crossed his legs and said,

"It's really a bit too much to take on three commissions at once. I think my heart condition is pretty good during this period, so I decided to put down my work for a few days and find a place to take a vacation. As for your work commissions..."
