Maori Detective Agency, although it was Linton's first visit, this place was really inexplicably familiar, which made Linton feel that his thoughts of recalling the plot became smoother.
"Drink tea!"
With a soft "bang", Mao Lilan slapped the tray with teacups on the table, and walked into the bathroom next to him with his mouth open, probably to fix his hair.
"This...why are you angry again?" Mori Kogoro could see that his daughter seemed to be a little angry, but he didn't know why he was angry. A daughter who has a rebellious period is really a headache. Sometimes I really don't know my daughter What is the idea.
Hui Yuanai here stared at Linton next to him. Although he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes seemed to say: "Look, she really made her angry."
"Then what can I do? I can't rush into the bathroom to coax her now." Linton spread his hands and said.
"Just now there was a kick that broke five ribs..." Hui Yuanai said.
"Then I'm not really scared. I'll break off a few ribs and put them out for you to keep and play." Linton said.
"Why do I want those?" Hui Yuanai said, "You really have a unique skill in making people angry, at the level of a master craftsman."
"Hmm..." Linton puffed up his chest, with a "comment me quickly" expression on his face.
"I'm not praising you!" Hui Yuanai roared.
"Anyway, leave her alone." Mori Kogoro here didn't continue to care about Mao Lilan's anger, but turned back to work and continued, "In short, let's talk about the situation first. In the morning, There were three clients who came to the door at the same time, and they were looking for the same person, which is Takuo Itakura, whom you are also looking for."
"These three people are all from several software companies, and their companies have asked Itakura Takumi to help their companies make game software. Of course, they didn't know each other before that Itakura Takumi had accepted so many companies' commissions at once. , and now the other party suddenly disappeared again, and I was even a little worried that he couldn't hand over the things and ran away."
"Producing three games at the same time? It does sound like you want to run away with money." Linton also said.
"And when receiving the order, Itakura Zhuo and the others said that they had no work on hand, so they just took it." Kogoro Mouri also said, "Although I don't know if this guy really ran away, but He is indeed a very unruly person. By the way, did your friend Ken Kaneki entrust him to make a game?"
"Indeed, but it should have been a long time ago." Linton said, "Didn't my friend disappear after that, probably because the funds did not continue to be supplied, and Takuo Itakura called several times to urge money."
"Speaking of which, your friend is missing, did you call the police?" Mori Kogoro asked.
"I don't know if I called the police. The police should be looking for him now." Linton said, because of the production of the Pokemon game, the people on Nippon are definitely looking for Kaneki Ken, but I don't know what they are. What is the progress.
"Is there no news from the Jingcha?" Mori Kogoro said. Of course, there is no need to answer this question. If the Jingca can give Linton news, he will not entrust himself to investigate. "In short, find this Itakura Zhuo and ask. Bar."
"So the clue Mr. Maury said..." Linton asked.
"Oh, it's this." Mori Kogoro pointed to the TV next to him, then took out a disc and put it into the TV, and a picture of a man appeared on it very quickly.
What appeared in the picture was a thin man who looked about forty or fifty years old, with a high hairline on his forehead, wearing a round neck sweater, he looked like a programmer. "Is this person Takuo Itakura?" Linton asked.
"Hmm." Mori Kogoro nodded, "This is a video sent by people from three companies after this guy disappeared. I copied a copy here. According to the people from those three companies, they and this Takumi Itakura This is not the first time they have cooperated. They are familiar with this person's working method in the previous few cooperations. A few days before the deadline, the other party will indeed disappear for a while, saying that he wants to meditate or something, but the previous few times They were all submitted before the deadline.”
Itakura Zhuo in the screen is indeed telling several people that he wants to find a clean place to catch up with the last wave of program code, and will hand over the manuscript to them before the deadline. The background of this picture looks like it was shot in a hotel, but the picture is relatively dark, with only one desk lamp on, so it is not very clear.
"But this time, the deadline has come, and the three companies have not received the agreed software. People from the three companies came to the door and met together, only to know that Takuo Itakura has been cooperating with many companies, and now there is no one. It's gone." Mori Kogoro said, "This video is from a week ago, so he has been missing for at least a week..."
"Then the clue you said before is..." Linton asked.
"This looks like a hotel, so he should be hiding in a hotel. I'm going to go to the hotel to ask." Mori Kogoro said.
The solution is a solution, but it's a bit of a needle in a haystack. It's a bit stupid to ask one after another hotel.
"Let's see if there are any clues." Linton pointed to the screen and said to Hui Yuanai next to him.
"Why should I help?" Hui Yuanai said.
"Don't you want to know if you won your bet?" Linton said with a smile.
"..." Hui Yuanai looked at Linton, and then said suddenly, "Speaking of which, if you lose this bet, it seems like you haven't said anything yet."
"If I lose, I will directly revive your sister completely. You also know that your sister cannot be regarded as a complete revival now." Linton said directly.
"It's a deal?" Hui Yuanai immediately became motivated.
"Of course." Linton nodded, "This is not a troublesome matter, there is no need to lie to you."
"..." Reviving a person is not a troublesome thing, but it's okay, but Hui Yuanai really believes it.
Looking at the picture on the screen here, Hui Yuanai suddenly pointed to the things on the table in the picture, except for a laptop computer, there were all strange things: "What's the matter with these chessboards?"
Yes, there are three chessboards on the table behind Takuo Itakura in the picture, and there are three kinds of chessboards, namely Go, Shogi and Chess. It's not that strange for this person to play chess, but playing three kinds of chess alone is a bit...
"Oh, speaking of which, the three companies commissioned him to make games of Go, Shogi and Chess," Mori Kogoro said.
"A board game?" Linton nodded. Although he knew he was in the game industry, he didn't expect that the three jobs he took on were all developing board games.
"Then... did he bring these chessboards himself, or did he ask the hotel for them?" Hui Yuanai continued to ask.
"Ah! By the way." Mori Kogoro here came to his senses, "I probably didn't bring it myself, but asked the waiter at the hotel for it. This person directly asked for three kinds of chess. The waiter probably was very impressed. I directly Call the hotel and ask, maybe they will remember someone like this."
"Oh, my sorrow is awesome..." Linton couldn't help praising.
