Chapter 124: The First Sight of a Wealthy Family
Chapter 124: The First Sight of a Wealthy Family
(At the beginning, I will explain one thing to you, because it is very important, so it occupies the main text.) Regarding the timeline of Conan's world, Conan-san has been an elementary school student for nearly 20 years, and I really can't stabilize the timeline, so please ignore this thing. I don't care about the time or season, the holidays, or the cycle or something, but of course I'll try my best to maintain the order of the plot. Therefore, please be prepared for this summer, tomorrow winter, and time not to move forward. above)
Before lunch that day, Conan and I went back to the Maori office because we had to go to a place with my dad this afternoon. It is a family that can keep pace with the Suzuki family, and the president of the Nagato Group.
After lunch, my father drove us to President Nagato's house, looking at the magnificence of Nagato's mansion, my father and Xiaolan couldn't help but feel envious, in fact, if they wanted, I could give them a house that was even more spacious than here. But according to Xiaolan's character, even if there is such a house, she will not be used to it. And dad is even less so.
Following the housekeeper Musashinosuke, we walked into the Nagato mansion together. As soon as I entered the gate, a rushing breath made my body tremble slightly, and I subconsciously entered a state of alert. After looking around for a moment, I slowly adjusted my breathing and calmed myself.
"What's wrong?" Conan asked softly as he looked something wrong with me.
"Nothing, occupational disease. I pretended to be calm.
"Occupational disease?" Conan wondered, but he quickly looked around and patted me on the shoulder, signaling that it was safe and that there was no need to worry. I could only twitch the corners of my mouth at this.
Go to the room where the president rests on the third floor. When I walked in the door, I saw an old man who was over the age of six, half-lying on the bed. It seems that the president's physical condition is not good. Beside him, there was also a woman who looked to be twenty-six or seventeen years old. Judging from the Wen JiΓ n clip in his hand, this woman should be the president's secretary.
"Oh. It's Mr. Maori, and I'm glad to see you. Lying on the bed with a peaceful face, Nagato Michizo was the first to greet us. "I'm really sorry to let a big detective like you go on a special trip for my business. β
"Where, where. It's my honor to be able to serve a big man like you, hehehehe. Dad kept rubbing his hands. "I don't know what you need me to look into for you?"
"Ah, yes, to be honest, I wanted to ask Mr. Maori to help me find my first girlfriend. β
ββ¦β¦ Nani?!" Dad was surprised by President Nagato's request. In fact, it was not only my father, but even I was surprised. But it's right to think about it. Rich people are capricious. Before feeling that his body was collapsing, it was okay to see his first girlfriend, but he was lovesick. So, under the temptation of a lot of money, my father also took this list, but after learning some things, my father regretted it, because President Nagato didn't have a photo of his first girlfriend at all. Some are just some information about the president's first girlfriend.
"This lady's name is Kotomi Akagi, and she was born in Kanagawa Prefecture. After graduating from high school, I didn't get married until I was twenty-nine. She and her husband Yamato had a child, and the three of them suddenly disappeared five years after giving birth. Hinata Yuki, the secretary standing next to the president, took the information in his hand and reported to his father slowly.
"This ...... There's only so little information. Dad rubbed his temples a little dissatisfied. After all, he is also a well-known detective now. was already a little disdainful of such a trivial matter as finding someone, and with so little information, he complained even more. "But then again. Who introduced you to me? I couldn't tell the president if I complained, so my father pointed the finger at the recommender.
"That's me. After my father's complaint, the door to the room was pushed open by a tall man. It was a man of great proportions, and the moment he pushed the door in, I took a step backwards and stood behind Conan, keeping Conan in the middle of us. At the same time, he quickly looked at the person in front of him, and then closed his eyes and stopped looking at him. After that, I tried my best to restrain my breath so that he would not notice my storage.
"What's going on?" Conan asked, watching my movements, turning his head sideways to me.
"This man gave me the urge to pull out my gun and stay away. I said coldly.
"Hey, hey. Not really. Conan narrowed his half-moon eyes. "But when you say that, I seem to think this person is very familiar. It seems to have been seen somewhere. β
"Who knows, it's definitely a cop anyway. I said angrily.
I said. You're almost getting used to it. Conan looked at me with a frown, "Don't forget jΓ¬, you're not a killer now." β
"Hi ~ Hi. I'll try. Listening to Conan's words, the corners of my mouth twitched. "When I saw the police after trying to do it, I was able to suppress the urge to pull out my gun. β
"Hey, hey......" Conan was speechless.
"Ah, he's the old friend I just talked about. "While Conan and I rolled their eyes at each other, President Nagato introduced the man who had just pushed the door open to my father. "This is Mr. Heizo Hattori, who is currently the chief of the Osaka Police Department. β
"Nani, you, you are the chief of the Osaka Police Department?" Dad was slightly surprised to learn the identity of the person who came.
"You're the one who appears on TV every time there's a big case in Osaka......" Xiaolan was also surprised, after all, the person standing in front of her was a well-known person in the police circle.
"No wonder I always think I've seen him somewhere, it's the Osaka Police Chief. "Conan's half-moon eyes.
"No wonder I always had the urge to pull out my gun, because he was a police chief. "I'm also half-moon-eyed.
"Huh?" Conan muttered to himself as he suddenly thought of something. "This director is called Hattori Heizou, so he won't be ......"
"Yo, Kudo, how are you doing? Before Conan finished speaking, behind Hattori Heizou, a swarthy boy of seventeen or eighteen years old suddenly appeared. Say hello to Kudo.
Wait, Kudo?!Does this person know Conan's identity?!I looked at the boy who suddenly appeared with some solemnity. And I wasn't the only one who was surprised, even my father and Xiaolan were also surprised. After all, it was Kudo who he just shouted at Conan. It's just that we were surprised in a different direction. And Conan, who was on the side, was even more at a loss. Hurriedly running up to the boy, the two of them muttered a few words. As a result, with the homonym of the two artificial vines, the "hard work" fooled Dad and Xiaolan.
"Hey. Kudo, who is that person?" I asked Conan quietly after Conan spoke to that person. There are very few people who know Kudo's identity, and the boy who suddenly appeared made my face somewhat solemn.
"Ah, that person's name is Heiji Hattori. It's a detective in Kansai and my opponent. He found out about my identity some time ago, but he was very strict and fine. And there are words he has. Many difficult cases can be solved. Conan whispered to me. "I'll introduce you two to each other later. β
"Heiji Hattori?" I thought for a moment, then it dawned on me. It turned out to be the Kansai detective who was on par with Kudo.,Damn,The ten years of life of the organization have left me with little advantage left.,Even such a key character has forgotten.γ I thought about it carefully, and it seemed that except for what I saw before I was six years old, what I had seen and heard in the organization, and the few little ghosts who were very impressed with Conan, it seemed that I had almost forgotten about the other characters, and now I really can't remember it for a while.

Just when I was still struggling with the plot. There was a knock on President Nagato's door again, and the people who came were President Nagato's two daughters, Nobuko Nagato and Nagato Eyasu. However, it seems that the eldest daughter, Nobuko, is a little disgusted with the president's secretary. The first thing she said when she opened the door was that she was a vixen. I can only have a trace of disdain on the corners of my mouth. What kind of vixen is it, in fact, he can't marry a half-old.
"So, who are the people over here?" Nobuko said to us unceremoniously, as if Miss Hinata's presence had affected her mood.
"I'm Detective Kogoro Mori. Dad replied unhappily.
"Name, detective?" Nobuko was surprised. "Why did the detective come to my house?"
"The president wanted the Maori detectives to help him find his first girlfriend, so he asked them to ......"
Syllable!
Before Miss Hinata finished speaking, Nobuko slapped her hard. "I didn't ask you again!
"Hey, Nobuko! Don't do that...... Huh?" President Nagato was about to scold, but saw an old fountain pen in Hinata's bodice pocket fall on his bed. But before President Nagato could say anything, Miss Hinata snatched the pen back from her hand.
"Hey...... Why hasn't you thrown that filthy pen away? I don't care if it's your father's relic or not. You'd better get rid of it quickly, or you'll find it disgusting for others to see it. An infuriating sentence was dropped. Nobuko shook her hand and walked towards the door. Mocking as he walked. "Jiang Kang, you have to be careful. Beware of your most important light being snatched away by others, hahahahaha. With a burst of laughter, Nobuko left the president's room, and her sister Jiang Kang followed in Nobuko's footsteps. Left behind a room of disdain or anger at us.
"Alas...... I'm so sorry, Hinata. President Nagato apologized to Hinata a with some helplessness. "Nobuko is also because no one has come to propose marriage at that age, so it's inevitable that I'm a little anxious, so please don't be angry. β
"Yes, I understand. Hinata didn't get angry, but with a little lamentation, she pinned the pen in her breast pocket again. "Then, I'll go back to the company to deal with the rest of the matters first, and say goodbye. With that, Hinata bowed slightly to the president, then turned and walked out.
"Ah, Hinata-sama, I'm going to announce that to you tonight, so if you still sympathize with my son......" At this, President Nagato's eyes were filled with a hint of pleading.
"No, President, my affection for him is not sympathy, it is my fate with him. Saying this, Miss Hinata's face hung with a little tenderness. "We have been bound together by fire for a long time. With a gentle smile, Hinata slowly left the room and politely closed the door.
"The bond of fire?"
"The bond of fire?" Conan and I uttered at the same time. Then the two men looked at each other at the same time.
"What, you're interested in this too?" Conan looked at me with a little amusement.
"No, I just remembered something else. I waved at Conan, then turned and walked towards the balcony.
"Why is this all of a sudden?" Conan was puzzled, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to listen to the president's conversation.
Standing on the balcony, now I don't even have the right to lean on the balcony, I can only lean against the wall behind me and sigh softly as I look at the clouds floating in the sky. It didn't take long, though, for a panic in the room to draw my attention again. Looking towards the source of the riots, I saw a man wearing a knitted hat and a face covered in bandages standing in the doorway.
"Who!" asked Heiji Hattori, who was closest to the door, in a loud voice.
"Ah, I'm sorry, he's my son, Hidetomi. President Nagato said slightly apologetically. "He became what he is now because of a fire in high school. President Nagato introduced that the person known as Hidetomi at the entrance also bowed slightly to us, but he didn't say a word.
"Huh?" I frowned slightly as I watched the man's movements.
"Kaoru. What's wrong?" Conan asked, looking at me with a puzzled expression.
"No, nothing. I replied, narrowing my half-moon eyes at him. "I said Conan. You've asked me three times what's wrong. Are you that curious about my every move?"
"That's no way, there are so many guards and police detectives here, I don't pay more attention to you, what if you really pull out your gun. "Conan has no conscience. "Since you said you would trust me, I can't let you down. β
"If I want to use my discerning awareness and observation of people, I can just say it, and I don't have to talk so serious nonsense. "I scoffed at Conan's words.
"Hey, hey, you've found out. Conan scratched his head in embarrassment. "So, did you just find anything?"
"No, nothing was found. I squinted at Half Moon and said. "I had doubts just now because the bandages on the man's face were irregular. β
"What do you mean?" Conan curious.
"Well...... Anyway, I'm also a killer who survived the rain of bullets. I have also seen a lot of wound bandaging, and his bandage method, not to mention the curative effect, is too much to cover the face. Except for the nose and one eye, even the mouth was too tightly sealed. You can't even drink water like that, can you?"
"Huh? You're right. "According to my description, Conan did find this suspicion. But soon he squinted at me again. "I said, you're not a killer anymore, please can you get used to it quickly. β
"Hi ~ Hi. I'm just an ordinary elementary school student now.,So,President Nagato's first love will be handed over to you, the great detective.,As an elementary school student, I'm going to go out and have fun.γ Ignoring Conan's complaining eyes, I said hello to Xiaolan and walked out of the door of the president's room.
As soon as I walked out the doorway and turned the hallway, I drew a silver phone from my necklace. A call was made.
"Ah-ra, Mr. Wind. How about not seeing each other in two days?" and soon, an unpleasant voice reached my ears.
"It's inconvenient for me to talk here, so let me check the information of the president of the Nagato Group and all the people of the three Nagato Dao families, the more detailed the better. Tonight at the latest. β
"No problem. By 12 o'clock today, I will be sure to put together all the information we know to you. After speaking, the thin wolf didn't say much and hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the busy tone of the phone, a cold smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, "Hehe, detective, this incident may be a very meaningful trip." (To be continued)
