Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

"I am Kogoro Mouri, and you are?"

The man smiled and said, "My name is Tooru Amuro, and I'm a new waiter at Polo Cafe."

"Mr. Mori, you didn't come the other day. Mr. Amuro just arrived the day before yesterday."

Kogoro Mouri nodded: "I haven't seen you before."

"I knew the coffee shop was downstairs from Mr. Mori's detective agency when I applied for the job, but I never expected to meet you today!"

Amuro Tooru looked quite excited, like a fan meeting their idol.

Kogoro Mouri was in a good mood: "I come here often."

Amuro Tooru said, "To be honest, Mr. Mori, I used to be a detective too."

"Hmm? You're a detective too? Then what brings you here..." Kogoro Mouri sized up Tooru Amuro.

"Eh? Mr. Amuro was a detective too?"

Amuro Tooru scratched the back of his head: "It's a little embarrassing to say, but because of my limited skills, I often mess up the cases, so I had to find another way to make a living."

"I see..."

Kogoro Mouri nodded slightly, just about to say something like "Keep up the good work, young man," when a commotion arose outside the coffee shop.

"Good morning, fellow citizens. I hope I haven't disturbed you. Zhou Ping sends his greetings and is willing to do his best to serve you. Please use your valuable vote..."

The group turned to look and saw an election vehicle slowly driving by.

Chapter 343 Something Broken

Kogoro Mouri complained, "This election vehicle has been going around for days, it's so noisy!"

"Who says otherwise!"

Amuro Tooru then brought over Kogoro Mouri's coffee.

Kogoro Mori picked up his coffee, took a sip, and then... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context. It appears to be a fragment of a larger text.)

"Xiao Zi, is something wrong?"

Kang Juanrong said, "I don't know if I should ask you for a favor..."

"It's alright, just tell me!"

Anyway, he's very free right now.

"A cell phone was left in the store two days ago, so I would like to ask Mr. Mori to help me find its owner."

槺捐魅ス裉ㄈ×艘回渴只隼础�

"Are people still using this kind of phone?!"

The phone was a camouflage flip phone, the kind with an antenna.

Kogoro Mouri took the phone and asked, "Has no one come to pick it up in two days? And there's been no phone call?"

Kang Juanjian said, "The person didn't come to collect it, but two phone calls came in."

The first person claimed it was a wrong number, and the second even threatened to kill the phone's owner.

Upon hearing the word "murder," Kogoro Mouri instantly perked up.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Uh... I was so scared at the time that I hung up the phone."

At this moment, Amuro Tooru interjected, "Then let's just call the number in his phone book."

Kang Juanliang said, "That's exactly what I find strange. Mr. Mori, you can see for yourselves that the phone book is full of fake phone numbers and names, and the phone is out of credit, so it can't make any calls at all."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri opened his phone book, which was filled with numbers like "Aida Ken 1027000800".

“Indeed, there are no ten-digit phone numbers starting with 1 in China.” Kogoro Mouri continued to check the information on his phone. “The received and missed calls are all empty, and even the text messages are empty.”

Amuro Tooru pleaded, "Mr. Mori, may I take a look?"

Kogoro Mouri handed the phone to Tooru Amuro, who carefully examined the strange phone book.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a vague guess forming in his mind; this method of recording seemed somewhat familiar.

He asked Kang Juan, "Do you remember what that person looked like?"

"He had a side parted hairstyle, wore glasses, was a bit chubby, and was wearing a suit. Because he ordered a lot and it cost exactly 3000 yen, I was quite impressed with him!"

Oh, and he also issued an invoice, in company name, but with a respectful form of address..."

"I understand!" Kogoro Mouri suddenly exclaimed, grabbing the phone. "Every phone has its own manufacturing number. With that number, we can find out who bought it!"

As he spoke, he removed the phone case and battery, only to find that the serial number inside had been torn off.

"I think its owner doesn't want it anymore!"

Kogoro Mouri's lips twitched, and he tossed his phone aside.

Amuro Tooru asked, "Where did you drop this phone?"

"Right under the sofa where Mr. Mori is sitting." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentence.)

“How could he go to a place like that? That person must have done it on purpose!” Kogoro Mori said firmly.

Amuro Tooru gently coaxed, "But why did he deliberately leave his phone under the sofa?"

Kogoro Mouri pondered, "I think it's probably related to that phone book. It's likely some kind of code. Didn't someone call saying they wanted to kill him? The owner of that phone is probably doing something dangerous!"

"As expected of the famous detective Mouri!" Amuro Tooru turned into a fanboy.

Just then, the bell on the shop door rang.

"Welcome, sir..."

Because the people who came were two police officers.

"Miss Miyamoto!" Kogoro Mori greeted her.

"Detective Mori is here too."

Yumi Miyamoto responded briefly, then turned to the group and said, "Excuse me, we're here to investigate a man's whereabouts."

Michiko presented an invoice.

"Ah, this is the invoice that man issued!"

Kogoro Mouri immediately stood up: "Miss Miyamoto, do you know where the owner of the invoice is?"

“Uh… he died the night before last. We only came to investigate this invoice because there was nothing on him that could prove his identity,” Miyamoto Yumi explained.

"Dead? How did he die?" Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened.

Miike Naeko explained, "According to witnesses, he suddenly rushed into the road through the gap between the cars parked on the side of the road and was then hit by a truck."

"What about the driver? Did he flee the scene?"

Kogoro Mouri suspected that the man had been murdered.

"No, and the driver wasn't drunk or anything."

“Then it must have been an accident.” Kogoro Mouri frowned.

Yumi Miyamoto said, "He went to a convenience store to ask for directions, and that was the Polo Coffee shop. He was hit by a truck when he rushed out in a panic. He was taken to the hospital, but died that night."

Then she asked, "Why are you so concerned about this, Detective Mouri?"

Kogoro Mouri said, "Because someone left an old-fashioned cell phone in the store, and the phone book on it is strange. Based on my deduction, it is probably some kind of code."

"I see!" Miyamoto Yumi said thoughtfully, "So he was trying to find his phone back then!"

Kogoro Mouri frowned as he listened to Yumi Miyamoto's description. The person did indeed want to retrieve their phone, but this contradicted his previous reasoning.

If you deliberately left your phone behind, why would you be in such a hurry to get it back?

"By the way, where's that Kitagawa Taki guy? Let's call him over too." She looked at the Kitagawa Exorcism Office across the street.

Last time, she was tricked by Kitagawa Taki. She arranged to play mahjong with Ran, which made this mahjong expert suffer terribly and turned her into a mahjong noob.

Kogoro Mori said, "Brother Kitagawa and Ran went out to play."

Amuro Tooru suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Mori acquainted with that famous Mr. Kitagawa Taki?"

Kogoro Mouri nodded: "Yes, he is my daughter Ran's boyfriend, but we are separate individuals."

Boy friend???

Miyamoto Yumi's eyes widened, and her breathing became rapid, as if something had shattered.

"Yumi..." Seeing this, Miike Naeko tugged at Miyamoto Yumi's hand, knowing what Miyamoto Yumi was thinking.

Kogoro Mouri and Tooru Amuro were engrossed in their conversation and didn't notice Yumi Miyamoto's unusual behavior at all.

Chapter 344 Your attitude towards learning is excellent!

Yumi Miyamoto quickly adjusted her mindset. Ran... Ran is also very good.

Kogoro Mouri, who had promised to help introduce Kitagawa Taki, turned his attention back to the incident and asked Miyamoto Yumi, "Ms. Miyamoto, why did it take you two days to come here to investigate?"

“There’s no other way.” Miyamoto Yumi took a deep breath and took out a stack of receipts. “We went to all these places before we got here, and no one here knows him.”

Kogoro Mouri picked it up and looked at it: "This guy has practically traveled all over Tokyo, Beika, Rizen, Kenbashi..."

Amuro Tooru interjected, "Mr. Mori, this is what I'm thinking: since someone has threatened to kill that person, wouldn't he ask the telecommunications company for that person's address?"

“Your idea is good.” Kogoro Mouri shook his head: “But telecommunications companies won’t just leak other people’s addresses.”

Miyamoto Yumi asked, "Is someone trying to kill him?"

"It's like this..."

"In that case, as this gentleman said, the person who threatened to kill him might actually call the telecommunications company to ask!"

With that, Yumi Miyamoto found a seat and sat down. "I'll ask someone."

Kogoro Mouri exclaimed, "The police are great; they can ask whatever they want."

A few minutes later.
