Suddenly, two voices interrupted Conan's thoughts.
He looked back and saw Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, who were also wearing formal wear, walking towards him side by side at the back of the corridor.
[Teacher Judy? Resigned? ]
Without taking the time to take a closer look at the bright red low-cut dress that Mouri Ran was wearing, Conan's attention was immediately drawn to the words spoken by the two people.
"Huh? Teacher Judy resigned? When did it happen?" Mouri Ran looked at Suzuki Sonoko curiously and asked.
"Even if it was yesterday, I happened to see it when I went back to school to get a book. Teacher Judy took away all the things she left in the office. That means she resigned..." Suzuki Sonoko replied.
"Why? Isn't Teacher Judy's English course very good?"
"I'm not sure, but I think it has nothing to do with Judy's teaching ability. When I saw it yesterday, I asked her. Although Judy didn't tell me the reason, I saw that her eyes were really red and swollen, and her face was very haggard, as if she had been crying for a long time...
I asked her but she didn't say anything, just said she was going back to the United States. Maybe something happened at home? Teacher Judy also told me to study hard and not to worry..."
Suzuki Sonoko said this and sighed softly.
"He seems like a very good teacher..."
【Back to the United States? 】
Conan, who knew Judy's true identity, immediately had a bad feeling after hearing what Suzuki Sonoko said.
It is obvious that as an FBI agent, Judy will never return to the United States easily.
In other words, whether she can return to the United States is not something she can decide alone.
Judging from Suzuki Sonoko's description, it seems that something special happened to the FBI in Japan during this period?
Conan also understands Judy's personality. If it was a normal transfer, Judy would never appear as described by Suzuki Sonoko.
Something must have happened.
"How about, when we have a chance during the holidays, let's go to America together to see Teacher Judy?" Mao Lilan suggested somewhat worriedly.
"Hmm, good idea!"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded in agreement immediately.
"I'll go ask my brother-in-law later. He also lived in the United States before he met my sister. Maybe he knows where Teacher Judy lives."
Having finalized their small plans for the future, the two chatted and walked over to Kogoro Mouri.
"Dad, are we going to the party?" asked Mao Lilan.
A banquet will be held soon at the Nishiba Building in Clover Hills. Although not all guests are required to attend the banquet, the Suzuki sisters, who have special status, will definitely go to show their support. And as good friends of Suzuki Sonoko, the Mori family will naturally go as well.
"Oh, you have changed your clothes too? No hurry, you go first." Maori Kogoro glanced at the two of them and said.
"What's wrong?" asked Mao Lilan.
"Nothing, just the data in the USB drive that the police found from President Moriyama. I just asked Officer Megure to make a copy for me, and I want to see what's inside first..."
Chapter 273 The Mysterious Architect
"Then Dad, we'll go over first."
Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko said goodbye to Maori Kogoro and went to Nishiba Building first.
Conan chose to stay and walked into Hiromichi Moriyama's office with Kogoro Mouri.
"Mr. Mori?"
In the office, Kanako Shimazaki, who was flipping through some newspapers on the bookshelf, heard the voice and turned her head to look over.
"You are still here, Miss Nanko." Kogoro Mouri showed the calm smile of a middle-aged man on his face.
After hearing the news of Hiromichi Moriyama's murder, Kanako Shimazaki did not come with everyone else, but chose to stay in the office.
"Well, I want to look around here to see if there is anything that can help me recover my memory..."
"Do you remember anything then?"
"I did remember some things, but they were just trivial, unimportant memories..."
Shimazaki Kanako sighed helplessly.
These scattered and trivial memories only made her more certain of her identity as Kanako Shimazaki.
Apart from that, she had no recollection of how she lost her memory and what was hidden behind Clover Villa.
"By the way, President Moriyama..."
"President Moriyama was indeed murdered. The murderer was the technical director Mr. Takashi Yaguchi. Sister Nanko, do you have any impression of this person?" Conan suddenly asked.
"Yaguchi Takashi..."
Shimazaki Kanako frowned slightly and tried to recall.
"Woo!"
Suddenly, her brain felt a sharp pain and a small memory flashed through her mind.
It was Takashi Yaguchi, the short, fat, lame man. The scene in my memory seemed to be in an underground parking lot, and Takashi Yaguchi seemed to be meeting someone.
And she, Shimazaki Kanako, hid behind a pillar and listened to their conversation quietly.
When is this memory from?
Why did she think of this scene when she heard Yaguchi Takashi's name?
Does this clip have any special meaning?
"What's wrong, Miss Kananko! Have you remembered anything?" Kogoro Mouri asked hurriedly with concern.
"Yaguchi Takashi... I seem to have seen him meeting someone somewhere before." Shimazaki Kanako raised her hand and pressed her wildly beating temples, and recounted the scene in her memory truthfully.
"It was in an underground parking lot. Those people were wearing camouflage uniforms. They didn't look like ordinary people..."
[Takashi Yaguchi has contact with a mysterious person...]
Conan heard this and lowered his head in thought.
If Shimazaki Kanako's memory is correct, then it seems that there may be other hidden secrets behind Moriyama Hiromichi's death, and it is definitely not as simple as Yaguchi Takashi said on the surface.
"A mysterious man who looks dangerous?" Maori Kogoro nodded. "It seems that we have to report this information to the police later... But Miss Nanzi, can you please help us look at the contents of this USB drive now?"
As he spoke, Kogoro Mori took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Kanako Shimazaki.
"Who is this USB flash drive?"
"It was found by the police from President Moriyama. It was a USB flash drive that President Moriyama always carried with him. I have a feeling that the contents inside may have something to do with President Moriyama's death..."
This is a computer USB flash drive, and Kogoro Mouri is now unfamiliar with the place in Clover Villa, so it is not convenient for him to find a suitable person to help him look at the contents of the USB flash drive.
So after much thought, he finally found Kanako Shimazaki, who was relatively trustworthy.
"understood."
Kanako Shimazaki did not hesitate. She took the USB drive, turned her head to look around the room, and finally set her sights on the laptop on the desk.
She walked over, plugged in the USB drive, then turned on the computer, entered the password, and successfully started it up.
The whole process was very skillful and there was no delay at all.
Conan, who was standing nearby, watched this scene and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Sister Kananzi, do you know the password of President Moriyama's laptop?" he suddenly asked.
"Ugh?"
His question stunned Kanako Shimazaki, who had not noticed anything unusual. She subconsciously let go of the mouse, raised her hand to cover her mouth, her face full of surprise.
"Strange, I do, it seems..."
Only then did she realize how she could be so skilled?
It was as if she had done this so often before she lost her memory that her body had built in a reflex behavior for it.
"Haha, I feel that Miss Kanako must have had a very good relationship with President Moriyama before she lost her memory, otherwise how could she even know the password of this computer..." The careless Kogoro Mouri didn't think much about it, but just joked with a smile.
"It should be like this..." Shimazaki Kanako replied. She suddenly felt a little uneasy, an inexplicable uneasiness.
Conan just looked at her quietly, taking in the slight panic on her face at the moment.
[There’s something wrong with this person…]
He had a vague guess that Shimazaki Kanako's identity might not be as simple as it seemed.
And this Moriyama company...it must be the same.
"Okay, okay, the files in the USB drive have been transferred over."
Quickly changing the topic, Kananko Shimazaki clicked on the document in the USB flash drive.
However, it did not contain the secret contents of the Moriyama Group that Kogoro Mori had expected.
Instead, it is a series of digital codes and the text corresponding to these codes.
"Could this be a code book?" Looking at the long digital codes and text on the screen, Kogoro Mouri asked puzzledly.
"Is it used to crack something? Why would President Moriyama carry something like this with him?"
Conan remained silent. He suddenly glanced at Shimazaki Kanako beside him, but saw a very surprised expression on her face.
"President, he..."
Shimazaki Kanako was very surprised, but she was not surprised by the contents of the USB drive.
What really surprised her was that she felt as if she was very familiar with these digital codes!
How could this happen? Does this really exist in ordinary companies?
And she... who is she?
"Sister Kanako, have you... seen the code on it?" Conan's sudden voice startled Shimazaki Kanako.
"No, I, I don't know him..." Shimazaki Kanako subconsciously denied it.
She became more and more panicked, as if there was something she didn't want others to see that was about to be exposed.
【She is lying.】
Conan saw through her lie at a glance, but did not expose it immediately.
