Chapter 263 A gift from an unknown source

"Hey, Mr. Akechi, are you free today?"

When Gao Yuan answered the phone, Ninagawa Ayako's voice came from the phone.

"I'm free. What can I do?"

Slightly surprised, Gao Yuan replied.

"It's like this. A doctor in our hospital has encountered some troubles recently, so he wanted to entrust a detective to investigate, so I thought of you, Mr. Mingzhi."

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Ninagawa Ayako explained the reason for the call, and then seemed to think of something, and added:

"Of course, this is a paid detective commission, not a willful request like I did before."

"That's right."

Gao Yuan readily accepted this and said, "I am free and can accept this commission. But can you tell me what the specific matter is?"

There is really no reason for me to refuse a commission that pays for it.

"Well...I can't explain it for a while."

Ninagawa Ayako said, "However, I can make an appointment with the doctor and let him talk to you in person."

"Okay, then set a time and contact me again."

After Takato finished speaking, Ninagawa Ayako responded and hung up the phone.

So, in the afternoon, at the request of Ayako Ninagawa, Gao Yuan came to Mihua General Hospital and met the doctor who wanted to entrust a detective investigation.

"Hello, my name is Akechi Takato. Miss Ninagawa called me here."

As agreed, Gao Yuan came to an office in the hospital, knocked on the open door and said.

This is a single office with only one doctor in it, a middle-aged man wearing an old but neat suit, with a white coat hanging on the back of the chair.

"Hello, this is Detective Akechi, right?"

After hearing Gao Yuan's words, the man couldn't help but stand up immediately and stepped forward to greet him, looking a little anxious.

"Please help me! I heard from Ninagawa-san that you are a very powerful detective. I think you can definitely solve my trouble!"

"Well, Doctor Ogawa, please calm down."

Faced with the other party's anxious attitude, Gao Yuan, who saw the doctor's name on the house plate, called the other party by his last name and comforted him.

"If you have any trouble, you can speak slowly."

As a result, Dr. Ogawa calmed down a little, closed the door of the office, and invited Gao Yuan to sit on the reception chair aside. He also sat next to Gao Yuan and began to explain what happened to him.

"Detective Akechi, that's it."

Dr. Ogawa lowered his head slightly and said with some anxiety:

"Starting about two years ago, someone would send me toys and money every month. But the sender's address and name were all fabricated, so I was very worried about what the other party would do."

"Send toys and money?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked, "Excuse me, do you have children of your own?"

"Yes, I have a five-year-old son, Yuta."

Dr. Ogawa said.

In this regard, Gao Yuan was convinced that he had encountered the case in the original work.

"I have asked my relatives and friends, and they all said they did not send me anything."

With an anxious tone, Dr. Ogawa continued:

"If you just send toys to your children every month, I would be happy to accept them. But they also send me one million yen every month. So far, it has accumulated a huge amount of 25 million yen, but I don’t even know who sent it, how can I accept such money from unknown sources?”

"Maybe he was a former patient of yours."

"It's natural," Gao Yuan said.

"It is indeed possible."

A little disappointed, Dr. Ogawa said, "So I have also asked patients who may do this, but they are not the case."

As he spoke, Dr. Ogawa took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Gao Yuan, and explained:

"Also, I just received this letter today. I usually send toys and money in a big package, but this time only this envelope was sent, with only money and a letter in it... Because this letter The letter made me very uneasy, so I wanted to find a detective to investigate quickly, but Miss Ninagawa found out about it and introduced you to me, Detective Akechi..."

While listening to what Dr. Ogawa said, Gao Yuan took the envelope, opened it, and saw the contents inside——

"Twenty-five million yen has been paid and the exchange will begin now."

In this regard, Gao Yuan actually already knew what was going on, but out of caution and because he had encountered original cases before, and the actual situation was inconsistent with what he knew, so in order to further confirm, Gao Yuan asked road:

"By the way, where are the toys that were delivered?"

"Oh, just leave it there."

As Dr. Ogawa spoke, he guided Gao Yuan to a corner of the office, where there were piles of wrapped toys, but they were not well preserved and there were many damages on the outer packaging.

"These toys were already defective or damaged when they arrived."

Seeing that Gao Yuan seemed to be confirming the condition of the toys, Dr. Ogawa explained.

Gao Yuan just nodded in agreement and continued to rummage through the pile of toys until he found a handheld electronic game console and a game cartridge called "The Adventure of the Sword" adapted to this game console, and then Insert the cassette, start the game console, and start to confirm the archive name of this game——

"OGINO, TOMOYA", according to the spelling of this kana, written in Chinese characters should be "Ogino Tomoya".

This is the name that people who play this game give their save files. This is still a personal name, it should be the name of the person playing this, which is also the name of the original owner of this game console.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief - so far, all the clues are exactly the same as in the original work, but he still can't take it lightly.

"By the way, Mr. Ogawa, can you show me the cases of all the patients you have treated?"

Gao Yuan put the toys away, stood up and asked.

"Yes, yes..."

Dr. Ogawa said, but he didn't quite understand what Gao Yuan meant. After all, the young detective hadn't said much since just now, and he didn't know what he had discovered.

So, Dr. Ogawa took Gao Yuan to the archives room.

"Ah! Doctor Ogawa!"

On the way, a nurse saw Dr. Ogawa and couldn't help but stop him. She handed a pot of packaged morning glories to Dr. Ogawa and said:

"We just received this pot of flowers for you."

"Sure enough, this year is no exception..."

Taking the flowerpot, Dr. Ogawa couldn't help but said, then looked at Gao Yuan and explained:

"This is the same person who sent money and toys to the hospital. He also started sending them to the hospital two years ago. The difference is that he only sends them once a year, and it is fixed on today."

However, Gao Yuan has no interest in this - after all, everything that happened so far has been exactly the same as what happened in the original work. Now he needs to determine whether the name and today's date will also correspond, and confirm whether this incident is consistent with the development of the original work. difference.

So, soon, when they came to the archives, Dr. Ogawa dug out the medical records of the patients he treated. Gao Yuan directly found the medical records from three years ago and dug out the medical records of "Ogino Tomoya" - because he was sent to the hospital. Untimely, three years ago today, the child died of appendicitis.

At this point, Gao Yuan was sure that there was no difference between the details of this and the original case, but because of the lessons learned from previous cases, he still couldn't be sure until the end.

So he looked at the time and Gao Yuan hurriedly said:

"Dr. Ogawa, when will your child get out of school?"
