Chapter 148 Photos
The person who sent the threatening letter did have an accomplice. Xia Xi followed him in a panic to a house, found a way to climb in, and overheard the conversation between him and another person. After making sure that there were no other accomplices, he found a way to control the two people.
Of course, her movements might have been a little out of control, and coupled with Xia Xi's subsequent search for evidence, the two men thought that Xia Xi was a burglar, and they threatened Xia Xi to call the police.
Of course, in the end, under Xia Xi's friendly "persuasion", the two men wisely gave up the idea, and couldn't wait to surrender and confess their mistakes in front of the police who rushed to the scene after Xia Xi called the police.
When he heard the news that the criminal had been caught, Kogoro Mori was mentally prepared and was not surprised when he heard the news.
Although it was a pity that we couldn't get the full commission fee, the matter was resolved and everyone was in a good mood.
Through the phone call from Xia Xi just now, several people also learned the whole story of the threatening letter incident from Charlotte.
Conan guessed correctly that one of the culprits was the leader of a high school, and he was the one who prepared the threatening letter. He did this because Charlotte found out that he took kickbacks, manipulated student scholarships, etc. when she went to interview the high school.
He realized that Charlotte knew what he had done and had been going to the high school to find students to investigate, so he sent a threatening letter to force Charlotte to stop investigating.
The other prisoner, the one who was almost caught by Charlotte on the spot while delivering the threatening letter, was a subordinate who took kickbacks with the school leader and helped him to smooth out the school's accounts...
Although the criminal was caught, Kogoro Mori and his men did not leave immediately.
Knowing that Xia Xi would come to see Charlotte after dealing with this matter, Mao Lilan wanted to stay at Charlotte's house for a while and see Xia Xi.
It has been a while since I last saw Xia Xi. This time, Xiao Lan had the chance to have a good chat with Xia Xi and her new acquaintance Charlotte.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan were also worried about leaving Xiaolan alone, so they stayed together.
In this way, Takeuchi Koichi felt embarrassed to leave alone and had to stay with them.
After they chatted for a while, they heard the door of Charlotte's apartment open.
After a while, everyone saw Xia Xi walk into the living room.
Conan noticed that Sister Xia Xi had opened the door of Charlotte's apartment by herself just now, which meant that she had the key to Charlotte's apartment.
How good is the relationship between this reporter Charlotte and Sister Xia Xi? She actually trusts her so much that she even gave her keys to Sister Xia Xi...
Can the relationship between ordinary friends be this good?
Just as Conan was thinking, Mao Lilan, Xia Xi and Charlotte soon started chatting enthusiastically. They were all young girls and had common friends, so it was not difficult for them to get to know each other.
Kogoro Mori and Koichi Takeuchi were unable to join in the young girls' conversation, so they could only drink together and chat casually.
"You mean, there are celebrities living in this apartment building?" Xiaolan asked curiously when she heard Charlotte inadvertently mention the situation of the residents.
"Yes." Charlotte nodded. "This apartment has good security measures and good privacy. It is quite popular with public figures. I have accidentally bumped into several celebrities before."
"Who are they?" Mao Lilan was a little curious.
"There were Mina Mizuno, Jun Watanabe (a random name)..." Charlotte recalled, tapping her chin with one hand.
Suddenly, she thought of something, "Ah! I also met Yoko Okino!"
"Miss Yoko!"
Maori Kogoro heard the key words and immediately left Editor Takeuchi who was just communicating with him, and came to Charlotte, asking excitedly:
"Did you really see Miss Yoko here?! That's impossible, she doesn't live here. Did she move?"
Charlotte used her hands uncomfortably to block Maori Kogoro's body from approaching unconsciously: "Detective Maori, you, you need to calm down a little..."
"Ms. Yoko might be here, how can I...uh!"
Before Maori Kogoro could finish his words, Maori Ran came forward with an ugly face and grabbed her father's collar, ignoring Maori Kogoro's red face, and did not let go until he was pulled back to his seat. Then she turned to look at Charlotte, and apologized a little embarrassedly for Maori Kogoro for scaring Charlotte.
He didn't pay any attention to the sound of Kogoro Mori behind him, who was patting his chest and coughing as if he had survived a disaster.
Charlotte blinked, shook her head blankly, and said, "No, it's okay."
"By the way, Charlotte, you just mentioned that you saw Miss Yoko here?"
Although she was a little unhappy with Kogoro Mori's performance just now, Ran Mori was also curious about why Yoko Okino appeared here.
When Kogoro Mouri heard Xiaolan's question, he quickly stopped coughing and pricked up his ears to listen to Charlotte's answer.
Conan looked at Maori Kogoro's performance and rolled his eyes speechlessly. He had no interest in such celebrity topics and felt a little bored, so he got up and walked around the living room.
When other people saw Conan's actions, they didn't care. Only Mao Lilan took the time to remind Conan "Don't run around casually" and then went back to the previous topic.
Conan took a casual look around the living room and found nothing special. At most, due to his job, there were some camera parts in the living room and some newspapers piled on the floor.
Conan walked to the shelf and found several photos on it.
Out of curiosity, Conan took it down and took a look.
Two of them are group photos of Sister Xia Xi and Charlotte, and one is a solo photo of Sister Xia Xi.
There are also two photos of Charlotte with different people: one of them is a girl with long brown hair and sweet dress, wearing a blue-green modified kimono with many cherry blossom decorations on it, and on the belt is... the Eye of God!
Conan looked at it carefully again and found that it was indeed the familiar glass beads.
However, this time he had never seen the color of the beads, which was green, and the pattern inside the beads was not very clear due to the size of the photo. He had never seen the outer frame of the beads before.
Therefore, his previous guess was correct, Charlotte was indeed related to those who possessed the Eye of God.
Out of curiosity, Conan looked at the last photo more carefully.
In another photo, besides Charlotte, there is another person who looks elegant and graceful. She has long curly blond hair, a black top hat, a black and white tube top dress, a rudder-shaped decoration on her waist, a yellow bow on her sleeve, and the same familiar glass beads hanging on her left arm.
The color of her God's Eye is yellow, the same color as Noelle's God's Eye, but the border is the same as Linny and Linnet's.
Conan frowned and thought: What exactly do the color and border of the Eye of God mean?
