Chapter 461 The Magical Use of the Cup of Life
In the morning, in the Poirot Café.
Since Xiaolan had just finished cleaning upstairs and there was still a lot of dust in the air, everyone decided to change the location of the conversation to the cafe downstairs.
According to Shizuka Ikenami, she came here this time to ask Kogoro Mori to help her find a junior high school classmate named Shibata Shiro and get a photo with special meaning from him.
Hearing this, Maori Kogoro asked in confusion: "Photo? Are you saying that you simply want Mr. Shibata to return this photo to you, so you came to me for it?"
Ikenami Shizuka nodded slightly, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, and slowly explained: "Yes, Mr. Maori, that photo was taken during the summer sports competition when I was in the third grade of junior high school. At that time, I participated in the kendo competition and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. And this photo is the only commemoration left after the victory in that semi-final."
The reason why it is a commemorative photo of the semi-finals is because she lost in the final.
This was also the first failure that Shizuka Ikeba had since she started practicing sword skills.
However, it is not shameful to lose to Tsubaki Michiko, after all, she is Tiejian's biological mother.
After learning the details from Ikenami Shizuka, Maori Kogoro held the yellowed old photo in his hand and frowned: "This is really a headache. If the only clues are the name and age of this person, and this photo is 30 years old, then it is too difficult to find him..."
"Oh, uncle..." At this moment, Conan thought of an idea and was about to speak it out, but was suddenly interrupted by Ikenami Shizuka beside him.
Ikebo Jinghua closed her eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "In this case, Mr. Maori, I suggest that you can make use of that person's wisdom."
"Huh?" Maori Kogoro was startled when he heard that, and asked back with a puzzled look on his face, "Who?"
"Actually, I've heard of that famous detective Kudo Shinichi. Doesn't he often come in and out of your detective agency?" Ikenami Shizuka opened her eyes and spoke while observing the changes in the facial expressions of Mouri Kogoro opposite her.
Kudo Shinichi, this is the culprit who led her son astray.
"Ahahaha, you misunderstood, that little kid has never been here." Kogoro Mouri hurriedly explained.
He was known as the sleeping detective, and he solved all the cases with his own ability without any help from others.
Conan was shocked by these words, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. He stared at Ikenami Shizuka's smiling face and thought silently in his heart: "If this rumor really spreads, it might really reach the ears of Gin and the others. It seems that I have to be more restrained when making inferences in the future."
Just as Conan's thoughts were in a mess, Ikebo Shizuka suddenly spoke up: "Little brother, do you have any special feelings about this matter?"
"Hmm? Ah...me?"
The sudden question caught Conan off guard. When he realized that the other party was asking him, he immediately put aside the thought in his mind and pointed to Shibata Shiro in the photo on the table. He said excitedly: "I was thinking, since this brother is holding a trophy, it means that he won the first place in the competition, right?"
"Yes." Ikeba Jinghua narrowed her eyes and nodded.
Seeing that his reasoning was correct, Conan became more and more excited, and continued to talk nonstop: "Since this big brother was so good when he was in the second grade of junior high school, maybe he is still active in various competitions now!"
"That makes sense!"
Kogoro Mouri clapped his hands suddenly, thinking that what Conan said made sense, and immediately prepared to start an investigation.
Xiaolan followed behind to help.
"This kid..."
Looking at the figures of several people, Ikebo Jinghua fell into deep thought.
……
Following the method provided by Conan, Kogoro Mouri quickly asked his friends to investigate the identity of Shibata Shiro, who worked as a physical education teacher at Shizugasuna High School and currently rented an apartment with his wife.
With the address, things will be easier.
Faced with the huge reward offered by Ikenan Shizuka for this, Kogoro Mori waved his hand generously, rented a car directly and prepared to go to his destination.
And at this moment when several people got on the car, Xiaolan took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention and secretly took a picture of Ikeba Shizuka's back with her mobile phone.
She still felt that this beautiful woman was somewhat familiar, but she had a bad memory and couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
……
Hanyu House.
In the laboratory on the seventh floor, Hanyu Kusunoki sat on a chair, leisurely holding the cup of life and pouring water into a container beside him.
Due to the Cup of Life's ability to keep people young, each family member needs to have a long interval between using it, otherwise they will easily become too young and turn into little girls, and they cannot use the horse spell to restore them to their original state.
Therefore, the Cup of Life is usually kept with Xiao Ai for her experiments.
But things are different now.
Hanyu Kusunoki strengthened his angel gene yesterday.
Super genes like the God of Technology usually require a lot of energy to maintain daily consumption.
Of course, there are exceptions. If your super gene is sunlight, then you don’t have to worry about energy issues, because you yourself are a large power bank.
Originally, Hanyu Kusunoki should have had the same trouble.
