Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1208 Broker's Commission

And when Yoko Okino and Kogoro Mori were explaining the commission.

In a cafe, Yuya was also listening to someone's request.

Sitting opposite him was a man with glasses and a cane. This was Yoko Okino's agent, Wanye Tsuboshima.

"A murder in a locked room?" Yuya pinched his chin. "But it's also possible that Baba was shot in the hallway and fled to the attic to avoid the murderer. He died from his injuries due to lack of medical treatment."

"I sent a secret code for the placement of the playing cards via my phone..."

There is one thing that Yuu is concerned about.

If you have time, why not just use your cell phone to call the police instead of using playing cards to make a secret signal like this and then send a photo?

Yuya casually asked, "Hasn't the police investigated this matter? Why did you ask me to investigate?"

Pingdaowan also sighed: "I didn't want to get involved in this case, but..."

Yuya's expression changed: "Is it for Miss Yoko?"

Pingdaowan also nodded. "That's right. As you know, Yoko is very interested in these suspenseful and mysterious stories. The police investigation has been making no progress, which has caused her to think about this matter every day, especially the poker code. She hasn't been able to rest well recently. I'm very worried about the impact on her health and the filming of the movie later."

"Besides, that villa is also very suitable as a filming location for our movie. If the case remains unsolved, the place will remain sealed, which is very troublesome."

Yuya smiled and said, "Mr. Tsuboshima is really dedicated to his job."

Pingdaowan smiled sheepishly and said, "Actually, I'm not as great as you say. If you had the opportunity to be an agent for a big star, you would understand. Anything she does could affect her career, and it would also affect me."

Youye suddenly realized that to put it bluntly, he was just worried that it would affect his ability to make money.

However, Pingdaowan has done a good job. At least he did not forcibly stop Yoko Okino, but specially came to find a detective to investigate the matter, which was considered to be a solution to the problem in accordance with Yoko Okino's temperament.

Yuu didn't ask any more questions, but instead looked down at the photo on his phone that Pingdaowan had sent him. It showed piles of playing cards, from left to right, top to bottom:

?A, ?2, ?2, ?2——?3, ?5, ?5, ?A——◇6, ◇2——◇2, ?4, ?3;

?A, ?3, ◇6, ◇6, ◇2, ◇3,——?A,◇3——?A,◇2,◇4,◇2.

Pingdaowan also waited for a while, and seeing that Yuya hadn't moved, he couldn't help but ask: "Detective Kamiya, do you have any clues?"

Yuya groaned and nodded, "Well, actually, this code is quite simple. But could you tell me more about what happened that day? I want to confirm my hypothesis."

Pingdaowan also nodded quickly, thought for a moment, and pulled out a photo on his phone: "This is the group photo we took that day."

There are four people in the photo. The one on the left with a crutch is naturally Wanye Tsuboshima. The fat man in the middle is Wanye Tsuboshima's brother-in-law. Baba Kankang is also the victim.

On the far right is Baba Fugo, Baba Tsukiyasu's brother, with his left hand in a cast;

In front of Baba Fuugo, sitting in a wheelchair is Fuugo's wife, Baba Himi.

Yuya couldn't help but ask, "Except for your brother-in-law, three people were injured?"

Pingdaowan also touched his head embarrassedly: "I accidentally broke my leg while filming. Mr. Fengwu and Ms. Feimei also have their reasons. It might be a coincidence."

Yuya nodded slightly and asked again, "By the way, what kind of person is your missing sister? Can you tell me about her?"

Pingdaowan also nodded and called up another photo, which was a family photo. There were still four people in it, but Pingdaowan was replaced by a woman wearing sunglasses.

Pingdaowan also pointed at the woman in sunglasses and said, "This is my sister, Baba Baohua, who disappeared in the summer two years ago."

"She went to the villa with her brother-in-law, Mr. Guankang, to escape the summer heat. But he had something urgent to do, so my sister went ahead alone. But when Mr. Feng Wu and Miss Fei Mei arrived at the villa, they didn't see my sister."

"Later they called the police to help look for him, but they still couldn't find him. He just disappeared mysteriously."

"Oh, right," Pingdaowan suddenly thought of something: "Come to think of it, my sister, Mr. Fengwu, and Miss Feimei were classmates from elementary school to university!"

"Ms. Himemi and my sister are very good friends."

"Oh, yes, I heard a piece of gossip from someone else. Mr. Feng Wu's first love was actually my sister, but I didn't expect that she would end up marrying her own brother."

When talking about his sister, Pingdaowan said a lot in one breath, with a nostalgic look on his face.

He murmured, "Actually, I came here this time to ask Detective Kamiya to try to find my sister's whereabouts, but...it's been so long, it shouldn't be possible, right?"

Yuu didn't answer right away. He looked at the photo. It was summer, but Baba Baohua was wearing long sleeves, which formed a sharp contrast with the other three people wearing short sleeves. In addition, Pingdao Wan also added that his sister suddenly started wearing sunglasses two or three years ago...

Yuya, who had already roughly deduced the truth in his mind, still needed to add some details.

"Please also describe in detail what happened after you arrived at the villa that day. I would like to see if I can find any other clues."

Pingdaowan didn't notice anything else in Yuya's words. He nodded and said confidently, "I have a good memory. I guarantee I can repeat it word for word!"

Yuya smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Pingdaowan also began to talk, saying that there was nothing special about him, Yoko Okino, and the villa.

However, when they arrived at the villa, Pingdaowan also casually said something that caught Yuya's attention: "You said there is a tree missing around the villa?"

Pingdaowan also nodded. "That's right. Three years ago, there were seventeen trees there, but this time there was one less. My brother-in-law said he saw that pine tree was growing well, so he transplanted it to the garden of his home in Tokyo."

What follows is that Yoko Okino discovered bloodstains in the corridor in the middle of the night, and everyone searched for Baba Tsukushi to no avail, and his body was found in the attic four days later.

Yuya pinched his chin and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he looked up at Tsuboshima Wanye and said, "Mr. Tsuboshima, what I'm going to say next is just my inference based on the clues you provided. The truth of the matter will be determined after you report it to the police and they conduct an investigation."

Pingdaowan was also stunned. For some reason, a bad idea came to his mind. He swallowed and nodded: "I, I understand. Please tell me!"

Yuya took Tsuboshima Wanye's phone and turned to the code on the playing card: "First, let's decipher this code. It's very simple, it's actually just a combination of English and numbers..."
