Establishing the Teyvat Organization in KO

Chapter 145 Threatening Letter 2

When Koichi Takeuchi recalls the scene at that time, he still feels a little scared.

At that time, the letter was sent directly to the newspaper office. As Charlotte had recently received frequent threatening letters, after consulting Charlotte, Takeuchi Koichi asked someone to screen the relevant letters first. All suspicious letters without clear senders on the envelopes were handed to him first, and he would check the contents before handing them to Charlotte.

Therefore, the letter was in Takeuchi Koichi's hand at the time, and when he was about to open it, Charlotte happened to ask him something. Fortunately, Charlotte discovered the problem with the letter in time, otherwise Takeuchi Koichi would have been hurt.

Although a blade is not large, it can still cause a slightly larger wound if you are not prepared.

While the uncle's attention was drawn to Xiaolan and Takeuchi Koichi, Conan took the letter from his hand, checked it from front to back, and indeed found nothing special.

It seems that the person who sent the threatening letter this time was very cautious.

This is a bit strange. From the content of his third letter, he was sure that the person who opened the envelope would be cut by the blade. Since the criminal was so cautious, how could the position of the blade be seen at a glance when he was determined to hurt someone?

"Mr. Takeuchi, sister Charlotte is so amazing. She can tell what's hidden inside the envelope without even touching it. How did she do it? Can you teach me?" Conan put down the letter and asked Takeuchi Koichi with pretended curiosity.

"Little brother, this is the vision of an excellent reporter. Observing the unknown truth inside things through the outside, this... is the indispensable ability for Charlotte to become an excellent reporter." Takeuchi Koichi lowered his head and looked at the little boy who asked him for advice, and with a somewhat proud expression he introduced the special skills of the best reporter under his command.

"Little brother, you are still young. To learn these things requires not only talent but also rich experience. When you graduate from elementary school, if you still want to learn, how about I let Charlotte teach you then?"

Takeuchi Koichi smiled and touched Conan's head, obviously treating him as a child who was making up stories one after another. He found an excuse to delay time, thinking that after a long time, the child would naturally forget it.

"..."

Conan rolled his eyes and was touched on the head by Takeuchi Koichi.

Are you treating me like a child?

And the thing about “observing the unknown truth inside things through the outside”, is it really the ability of a simple and excellent journalist?

Kogoro Mouri didn't care about Conan's interruption. It was not the first or second time after all. It wouldn't be too late to teach Conan a lesson together later.

"By the way, since these threatening letters were sent to Miss Charlotte, why didn't she come in person, but instead you, the editor-in-chief, commissioned a detective to investigate?" asked Kogoro Mouri puzzledly.

Ran Mouri and Conan also looked at Editor-in-Chief Takeuchi curiously at the same time.

Hearing Detective Maori's question, Takeuchi Koichi sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Because Charlotte doesn't take this matter to heart at all!"

Under the curious gazes of Maori Kogoro and others, although Takeuchi Koichi was somewhat dissatisfied with Charlotte's attitude of not caring about her own safety, he couldn't help but explain for her:

"But this is not Charlotte's fault. Ever since she became a reporter, she has been committed to presenting the 'truth' of things in the newspapers. As a result, there has never been a shortage of external attacks and threats. Charlotte also has some ability to protect herself. Although there have been some threatening letters before, nothing has happened. We have all gotten used to it."

"This is the first time that threatening letters have been sent for three consecutive days, and it almost hurt someone. I asked Charlotte to pay a little attention recently, but Charlotte still didn't take it seriously. I was really worried, so I came to ask Detective Maori for help. Detective Maori is so powerful, I believe he can find the person who sent the letter."

Hearing the praise from editor-in-chief Takeuchi, Maori Kogoro couldn't help laughing and boasted: "Don't worry, I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, will take care of it. I will definitely catch the villain who sent the threatening letter."

"Yeah." Mr. Takeuchi nodded and looked at Kogoro Mori excitedly.

Conan: "..."

Haha, the uncle is really confident.

There are no clues now, but the uncle dares to make such a guarantee. Does he know where to start?

"Well, if you have any other clues, please share them with us. Don't waste time." Kogoro Mori looked at Editor-in-Chief Takeuchi and stretched out his right hand with confidence.

"?" Takeuchi Koichi looked confused.

"Detective Maori, I gave you everything I had, just these three threatening letters..."

"Ah?" Maori Kogoro was a little incredulous. "You mean the only clues are these three letters that don't reveal anything?"

"Oh, no! There's one thing I forgot to take out..."

As he spoke, under the expectant gaze of Kogoro Mori, Koichi Takeuchi took out a piece of wrapped cloth.

When you open it, it's just an ordinary blade.

It was obviously the blade hidden in the latest threatening letter.

"Is this it..." Kogoro Mori curled his lips in disappointment.

"How about it? Detective Mori, can you find out anything?" Takeuchi Koichi looked at Mori Kogoro expectantly.

"Well...this..." Kogoro Mori stammered, feeling a little embarrassed.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was just a blade that could be found anywhere, nothing special, and he really couldn't find any other clues.

Fortunately, Conan's next question diverted Takeuchi Koichi's attention. It seems that this little kid is still useful sometimes.

"Editor Takeuchi, you just said that you had sent threatening letters for three consecutive days until yesterday. Didn't you send any today?"

At this time, Conan had already gotten close to observe the blade in Takeuchi Koichi's hand.

The blade is indeed very ordinary, but you can still tell from the style that it was removed from a utility knife. This kind of knife is generally used more in offices or college teachers and students, and of course ordinary families also have it, so this actually doesn't mean anything.

Conan had noticed before that although the material of the threatening letter was ordinary, it was the same as ordinary printing paper. This should not be a coincidence. It shows that the suspect's environment often prints documents.

Combining the two clues, the possibility that the sender is a university or company leader has greatly increased. After all, even if an ordinary employee makes a mistake, it would not reach the level that requires threatening reporters.
