Friday, November 20, just before 6pm, Maori Detective Agency.

After the new name Kahori came, he went upstairs with the garden, and more than 20 minutes later, Maori broadcast a TV channel, and suddenly found the news about the performance of the Ito Opera Troupe at the Rice Flower Theater, so He Lan and the four of the Junior Detective Group watched it.

“…… This is the Rice Flower Theater, where there will be four days of stage performances starting tomorrow, which is said to be an adaptation of the Night Baron, and everyone is welcome to come and see it. I heard that the cast of the Night Baron TV series will also appear......"

At this time, Maori found that there was a woman in the camera who walked into the Rice Flower Theater, although the woman was wearing wide-brimmed sunglasses, but the body shape and hairstyle made Maori excited, "Miss Yoko, Yoko." Then he said to Lan, "Can you go in? Take me in." ”

"Wait a minute," Lan said helplessly, "the garden isn't good yet." ”

At this time, the garden came down, "Alright, alright, this is the first time, you should send it over quickly." As he spoke, he handed a few manuscripts to Lan, "This is handwritten, pay attention to it when you print it." ”

"Okay. Lan asked, "But won't you go over to the garden?"

"I'm going to change the following with Mr. Xiangbaoli. Yuan Zi said, "Go quickly, remember to bring a signature book, when Mr. Xiang Baoli called to determine the role, I listened to a lot of stars." With that, he went back upstairs. ……

It's past seven o'clock in the evening, Rice Flower Theater.

After the first half of the work at Meidai Restaurant, Yamazaki and Meidaiko came over, reported the name of Tamanosuke Ito to the security guard, entered the theater, and found that there were many people sitting here, but at a glance I saw Maori, he was wearing a turban, dancing and watching the row, although he didn't make a loud noise, but he alone occupied dozens of seats in the center, as if it was another stage.

"Brother, look," Mei Daiko pointed to the stage, "Ran and Conan are also there. ”

"Do you want to go up?" asked Yamazaki.

"I don't want to. Mei Daiko said.

Yamazaki smiled: "Then let's go, follow me to the hospital to see those two people." Then he turned and left.

Mei Daiko followed, "Speaking of which, being able to jump under the ceiling with my kick in the air is still good for that Tajima." ”

"If it had been before, I'm afraid it would have been better. "He had been injured in the lower back, and although he is healed now, he can't make up for the time he has fallen, and he is getting older." ”

"It's a shame. Mei Daiko sighed. ……

At around 7:45 p.m., Rice Flower Kurokawa Hospital, near Shi Tiefu's ward.

"Good evening, Mr. Konishi. Yamazaki said to Tetsuo Kinishi, who was lying on the boat.

Putting a bouquet of flowers that she bought at the door after getting out of the taxi in a vase on the bedside table, Mei Daiko put another bouquet behind her and saluted, "I'm sorry, Mr. Konshi." ”

"Hmph. Tetsuo Konishi turned his face away.

"Whether you accept it or not, in short, our sincerity has arrived. "If nothing happens, then we're out." ”

"By the way, how is the troupe?" asked Tetsuo Konishi, turning his face.

"If you want to ask why no one is coming to see you," Yamazaki said, "Ito, they're busy right now. ”

"Yes, thanks to someone," Mei Daizi said angrily, and then smiled, "By the way, this is the cause of someone's race, which is really interesting." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Tetsuo Konishi.

"It means you're out of work. Mei Daiko smiled, "Watch the news yourself." ”

"What!" Tetsuo Konishi tried to sit up, then clutched his chest and clutched as he lay down.

"You'd better lie down for a few days. Mei Daiko smiled.

"Mr. Konishi, for now, no matter who is no longer there in this world, most people will still laugh. Yamazaki said, then smiled, "Goodbye, Mr. Konishi, you have a good rest." ”

"Yes, goodbye, and have a good rest. Mei Daiko smiled.

Moments later, around 7:50 p.m., Kenzo Tajima's hospital room.

"Good evening, Mr. Tajima. Yamazaki said to Kenzo Tajima, who was watching TV.

"Good evening, and thank you for coming to see me. Kenzo Tajima said with a smile.

Midaiko put another bouquet of flowers in a vase on the bedside table and saluted, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tajima. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Kenzo Tajima said, "Speaking of which, little girl, you are very skilled." ”

"Of course. Mei Daiko smiled.

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask. Yamazaki said, "Mr. Tajima, you have been injured before, and your previous skills must be even better, with your skills at that time, you can go to the General Assembly, why are you in a small opera company." ”

"Well," Kenzo Tajima said reluctantly, "I ran out of money after I was injured, so I got a job with the Ito Opera Company." ”

That's a good reason. "However, since you chose the Ito Opera Company as a guide, it means that you are not highly educated and cannot sit in the office with your head, so you used to be engaged in manual labor, and in this case, with your skills, being an actor is the best choice." ”

"No, I used to be, yes ......" Kenzoichi Tajima couldn't say.

"What is it? Truck driver, convenience store clerk. Yamazaki said, "You're not going to be the boss, are you?" ”

"I see, bankrupt boss. Mei Daiko smiled.

"Yes, yes," said Kenzo Tajima, "I used to have a shop, which was later taken over by a loan shark. ”

"Don't lie. Mei Daizi smiled, "If I ask you what kind of store you run, how to open it, how to pay taxes, etc., how do you answer, do you want to give you an hour to make one." ”

"I ......," Ken Tajima said.

"It seems that there is something unspeakable. Yamazaki said, "That is, I have done it before, or have been doing something illegal, and I can't go to the conference to show my skills, for fear that after I become famous, I will be found out by reporters." ”

"Huh?" Kenzo Tajima's face changed.

"It seems that this is it. Mei Daiko laughed, and then asked, "What did you do before? By the way, judging by your age, you can't be the thief Kidd." ”

"Huh?" Kenzo Tajima was stunned.

Mei Daizi said, "Come, come, blame thief Kidd, let me punch and our accounts will be settled." ”

"No, no, I'm not blaming Kidd the thief. Kenzo Tajima hurriedly argued, "It's really not, I don't know magic." ”

"Huh, can't you do magic?" asked Midaiko, "you can't pretend, do you?"

"I really won't. Kenzo Tajima smiled bitterly.

"This should be true, if he was the monster thief Kidd, even after being injured, he would be able to make a lot of money with his magic skills, and he would not be a movement director in the Ito Opera Company. "There are a lot of magic tricks that don't require big sports. ”

That's right. Midaiko said, then asked Yamazaki, "Then what do you think he does?"

Yamazaki said: "With his skills, he is suitable for stealing people such as commercial spies, but organized commercial spies are not easy to get out, and solitary commercial spies are either killed or go to jail, and solitary commercial spies must know some mental work, even if they are injured, they are enough to sit in the office." Then he asked Maidiko, "What do you think is best for him right now?"

"Well," Mei Daizi thought for a while and smiled, "By the way, it's still a thief, a lone thief who specializes in stealing money, so that it can be used directly, and there is no need to find someone to sell the stolen goods." Then he noticed that Kenzo Tajima's face had changed and his sweat had come down, so he smiled again, "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”

"That's my guess too. "All-round surveillance has only become widespread in recent years, and there were very few of them before, so it was easy for him to enter those mansions and steal money, and he didn't need a safe, and if he was lucky, he could steal a wallet for a few months." ”

"Enough, no more. Kenzo Tajima exclaimed with some excitement.

"Be quiet, this is the hospital. Mei Daiko said.

"Mr. Tajima, can you tell me honestly if you've ever killed anyone?" Yamazaki said, "If not, I can help you." ”

"Help me?" said Kenzo Tajima, surprised.

"Yes, if it's just stealing, then it should be better for those sufferers to get financial compensation than to put you in jail. As long as you can pay the money back, the sentence shouldn't be very long. Yamazaki said, "I can help you solve the problem of money......

"How, what do you want me to do?" asked Kenzo Tajima.

"I'll give you a decent job, well-paid," Yamazaki said, "a security advisor." ”

"I, the security consultant?" Kenzo Tajima was taken aback.

Yamazaki said: "There is only a thin line between a skilled thief and a clever security, and this kind of thing is not the patent of a skilled person, with the help of high-tech products, many people can do it, and you can find loopholes that ordinary people are not easy to notice." Also, you can also work part-time as an instructor, and maybe you will be paid a double salary. ”

"Really?" asked Kenzo Tajima confirmed.

"Of course. "But before you do that, you have to answer me if you've ever killed anyone." ”

Kenzo Tajima asked, "So, you answer me first, what will society invite me?"

"Shi Feng is safe. "They don't have enough people right now. ”

"Shi Feng is safe?" said Kenzo Tajima, and then his face changed, "Yet, I haven't consulted yet......

"It seems that you also have a master. Yamazaki smiled, "My surname is Yamazaki." ”

"Yama, Yamazaki?" Kenzo Tajima exclaimed softly, then sighed, "I really didn't expect to meet anyone from the Yamazaki family." Then he said, "My master's surname is Kamishima, and I was raised by him, and he didn't tell me much, he just asked me to walk around the stone peak, and it was best not to meet the people of the Yamazaki family." ”

"How many years ago was that?" asked Yamazaki.

Kenzo Tajima sighed, "Master, it's been almost thirty years since he died. ”

Yamazaki asked, "By the way, can I ask what ......is the age of Master Uejima?"

Kenzo Tajima thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard Master say his age, but when I was a child, I heard him say that he was almost ninety years old, and Master's age was almost 100 years old." ”

"Thank you. Yamazaki said, then asked with a smile, "Time has passed, Mr. Tajima, do you want to join Shi Feng Security now?"

"Yes, why not?" said Kenzo Tajima, "I have never killed anyone, never before. My name is Kenzo because Master taught me three things, running and jumping, picking locks, and whipping, and I can basically open the old-fashioned safe, so I just broke into the house and stole money. Then he sighed, "The current electronic safe is not good." ”

Midaiko asked, "Oh, so you've committed a crime recently?"

"Yes, yes. Kenzo Tajima said, then fell silent for a moment, "I'm the Edo kid. ”

"What?" Midaiko didn't understand.

"Simply put, a wanted criminal. Yamazaki said.

"So Uncle Maori has another bonus. Mei Daiko smiled.

"Mori, is it Detective Mori Kogoro?" asked Kenzo Tajima, surprised.

"Yes. Mei Daiko smiled.

Kenzo Tajima thought for a moment and said to Yamazaki, "Can you please ask Mr. Mori to come over now and take me to turn myself in." ”

"Now?" said Mei Daiko with a smile, "Uncle can't pull eight horses now." ”

"Any questions?" asked Yamazaki.

"Actually, the afternoon was because of me. Kenzo Tajima sighed, and continued, "I've always wondered how Tamanosuke knew my Edo boy's identity, but now I understand, when the old leader hired me, he also asked me about my previous occupation and other questions, and I answered very vaguely at the time, and now I think he must have doubted my identity, and later guessed my identity." ”

"How do you notice this?" asked Midaiko.

"Not long after I joined the regiment, the police who pursued me came to investigate and asked if there were any suspicious characters, but the old regiment commander did not tell them about me. Kenzo Tajima said, "I thought he didn't notice it, but now that I think about it, I'm really grateful to him for letting me live a peaceful life, which is very hard, but very fulfilling and reassuring." ”

"I see. Mei Daiko said.

"After I recovered from my injury, the head of the Tamanosuke regiment may be afraid that I will commit the crime again, so he wanted to use the stage play to persuade me, so he asked Konshi to write a script about the Edo boy, but Konshi did not write according to what the head of the Tamanosuke group said, so the head of the Tamanosuke regiment wanted to let the head of the Tamanosuke change it, but Kinshi instead asked the head of the Tamanosuke regiment not to interfere in the matter of the script, and the head of the Tamanosuke group argued with him, so he started beating him. Kenzo Tajima said, "It's not that I'm speaking ill of Konshi, he didn't stay in the troupe, it's entirely because he is the oldest veteran in this way, his screenwriting level is really not very good, and our performance relies on fighting to support the scene." And after I recovered from my injury, I found that my skills had regressed, and I was going to stop being an Edo boy again, but because of him, I had to go back to my old job. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Midaiko, "By the way, he blackmailed you?"

"Yes, Tamanosuke asked Konshi to write a script, but instead Konishi found out about my identity, so Konshi used this as a lever to blackmail me and ask me for money. Kenzo Tajima sighed, "How can I be rich, Edo boy, I'm just a thief, if I really want to be rich, my injury won't drag on for three years." ”

"So, are you afraid that Mr. Konshi will call the police first?" Yamazaki smiled, "You don't have to worry about that, he's afraid that you will tell the police that he will blackmail you." I think you'd better wait until you finish watching this performance before turning yourself in to the police. ”

"Speaking of which, what's going on with Tamanosuke?" asked Kenzo Tajima.

"Don't worry, Sister Maya will arrange it. Mei Daiko said.

"Maya, you mean Minister Tachibana?" Kenzo Tajima blinked, "This is Rice Flower Town, little girl, you can't be that, uh, Miss Midaiko Miyamoto?"

"Yes. Mei Daiko said.

"I'm relieved. Kenzo Tajima sighed, "I would be happy if the old head was here." ”

"By the way, by the way, Mr. Tajima," Midaiko asked with some excitement, "who injured you?"

Kenzo Tajima said, "I don't understand it, but I was injured while exercising, and I was jumping. ”

"Huh?" Midako was deflated.

Kenzo Tajima asked, "Miss Midaiko, do you know what the reason is?"

"The reason for the uncoordinated exercise of the upper and lower bodies. Mei Daiko said.

"What?" Kenzo Tajima didn't understand.

"Simply put, you've hurt yourself. "Your waist and spine can't withstand the force of the moment you struggle to jump." ”

"I see. Kenzo Tajima said.

Looking at the time, Mei Daiko said, "Let's go, brother." ”

Yamazaki said: "Mr. Tajima, on your waist, find a pine tree that can withstand your entire back, and learn to rub a bear for a few years." Then he smiled, "This news is charged, and it will be counted in your salary in the future." ”

"Okay, I understand. Kenzo Tajima smiled, "Anyway, thank you." ”

Yamazaki said, "Alright, Mr. Tajima, let's go first." ”……
