Kogorou : No need to worry, Ogawa-san. It's just a regular old prank. I'm sure the other person just gets a kick out of sending you his money and old toys every month and seeing your confusion. There's nothing to be concerned about.

Ogawa : B-but.... I came here because I didn't know who the sender was.

Kogorou : Hmm, very well.... Oh yes, you said that the name and address of the sender were on the packages.

Ogawa : Yes, the same name and address every time. But this address doesn't exist and the name doesn't ring any bells.

Kogorou : Hmmm.... And if the address is fake, then the name must be fabricated as well. Then the only clue we have left whish was sent to you in the envelope along with the money, is this letter.

Kogorou said as he opens the letter and see it once again. Conan then quietly went behind the couch and climb on top of it looking at the letter from behind Kogorou shoulder.

Conan : Do you think maybe the sender is trying to buy something from Ogawa-san?

Conan said out of nowhere from behind Kogorou making all eyes to look at him. He then continues to talk.

Conan : There's no other way to read it that makes sense.

Kogorou : Mmm, you're right. Ogawa-san, is there anything that you own that might have an estimated value of 25 million yen?

Ogawa : I-I own nothing worth that much money....

Ogawa said, but then stop midsentence as he remembers something.

Ogawa : Now that you mention it, there's a painting that I inherited from my grandfather, hung in the hospital that I work at. I've heard that it's about, 20 million, but....

Kogorou : That's it!! The sender must want you to sell the painting to him!! And so, to get on your good side, he sent your son presents every month! No doubt about it!

Conan : Let's go see the painting at the hospital! We might be able to figure something out!

Kogorou : Is that all right with you?

Ogawa : Y-yes, I don't mind.

They then stood up one by one and head to the door to go to the Hospital not noticing Ran is looking at Conan suspiciously.



Kogorou : Man, this hospital is big....

Kogorou said as he looks around the hospital upon reaching there entering the building. You guys were walking through the almost crowded hallway to Ogawa's office. He and Ogawa were both holding a bag of toys in hand.

Ogawa : Yes. I was surprised too when I first came to work here three years ago. I was transferred from a small country clinic, you see....

As the five of you were walking to Ogawa's office, a nurse then calls out to Ogawa making the five of you to stop in your track and look at the nurse. The nurse is holding a pot of flower which then given to Ogawa.

Nurse : Ah, Ogawa-sensei, this arrived for you earlier, from a certain Tanaka-san

Ogawa : So, it came again this year....

Kogorou : Could this Tanaka be....

Ogawa : Yes, he is the sender. These flowers have also come for the last two years, but unlike the toys and money, they are only sending once a year. August 3rd is always the exact day these Morning-Glories always come.

Kogorou : Morning-Glories....? If they're sending flowers, it's positive the sender could be a woman.... Morning-Glories means 'Empty Passion'. Don't tell me. something happened between you and some woman two years ago?

Ogawa : D-don't look at me like that. I did no such thing!

Kogorou : Then is August 3rd some kind of anniversary? Or maybe your son's birthday....

Ogawa : No, my son Yuuta's birthday in in December. I can't think of anything else that could explain it.

Erena : No. Other than 'Empty Passion', Morning-Glories can also symbolize mourning, short life span or even resurrection. And it is sent to the hospital. So, it means that the sender is definitely not trying to say short life span or resurrection, but.... 'Mourning'.

You thought as you block out everything that happens around you trying to piece the puzzle.

Conan : Morning-Glories, August 3rd at a hospital.... Hey, Oji-san, what if the doctor lets us see the medical records of all his past patients? Maybe there's something to do with August 3rd on one of them?

Kogorou : Hmm, you're right. Would you let us see them?

Kogorou ask as he turn towards Ogawa. Ogawa then wave both his hands in a refusing manner.

Ogawa : I can't show clinical anyone who's not a staff member. And I already checked with all the patients that might have done it.

Kogorou : It'll be our little secret!

Kogorou plead to Ogawa as he put his hands together in front of his face in a pleading manner. Ogawa then though for a second before reluctantly agreed to it.

Ogawa : Very well. But please keep your presence unknown.

Kogorou : We're very grateful....

Kogorou said gratefully. Without anyone realizing Ran gaze were bore to Conan the whole time as she keeps on thinking of the possibility that Conan might be Shinichi which mean Erena would be you.



All of you are now in the storage room as Kogorou were going through the past patients records on a table in the middle of the storage room. Both Ogawa and Kogorou have put down the bags of the toys beside the table.

Ogawa : H-how is it going....? I've found all the records of my patients here in the past three years....

Kogorou : So, is that person really not in here? Anyone who would want to buy your painting.

Ogawa : No, not really. Anyways, would you like to see the painting?

Kogorou : Sure. Maybe if I see it, I'll notice something.

Ogawa : I have it displayed in the patients waiting room.

Ran : C-Conan-kun, are you coming?

Conan : No, I'll wait here.

Ran : Ah, okay. Well then, be a good boy while you wait.

Conan : Yup.

Kogorou and Ogawa then proceed on heading to the waiting room to see the painting with you and ran following behind. However, without you realizing anything, Ran eventually stop following you guys as she hides outside of the storage room, open the door quietly and peek inside the storage room seeing Conan looking through all the patients records on the table.

Ran : Co-Conan-kun?! Weird! He's acting much too strange for a normal grade school kid! There was that time and the other time and that time also. Every single case, it always been spurred on by something Conan-kun says, until it's solved. The same way Shinichi gives out advice. The day that Shinichi left, that's when Conan-kun came to our house!! It can't be. It can' be this kid is really, Shinichi?! Anyway, I must make sure. I must make sure. All right!

Ran then came into the room and close the door silently making sure that Conan wouldn't heard anything. She then walks up to Conan from behind and started to talk to him and a cheery voice.

Ran : Hey, come on. You know you can't fool around with those records.

Conan : R-Ran-neechan....

Ran : Have you found anything yet?

Conan : Um, yeah. Just a little. See, he said that the flowers came to the hospital once a year, right? And the date was always August 3rd. So, I think that maybe the sender was a patient, to whom something happened on August 3rd a long time ago. Since the money, toys and flowers started arriving two years ago, I can exclude any new patients from the past two years. So, I focused on the patients from Ogawa-san's first year, between two and three years ago. These 8 people had something happen on August 3rd. Therefore, people who had a successful operation on that date or people who were entering or leaving the hospital, maybe. But any person sending flowers or presents would be expressing thanks, right? Therefore, I narrowed it down to two people who I think could have sent that money. Okada Maki-san, who had a large operation on August 3rd, three years ago and Wada Hiroshi-san, who was completely recovered and left the hospital on that day. But the letter is really nagging me.

Ran : Wow, it's really amazing that you figured out that much!! Just what I would expect.... Just what I would expect from Shinichi!

Conan : Ehehe.... Well.... EH?!

Conan shyly rub the back of his head when he noticed what Ran just said. Ran looks at Conan in shock as she is surprised while Shinichi is also shock, but out of fear.
