Chapter 0687 - The Old Man Who Lives Nearby

Saturday, April 10, around 8pm, outside the Maori Detective Office.

Yamazaki returned to the vicinity of the Mori Detective Office with the Mori and Shiratori Police Department, and then carried out the task he had just received to check on the situation of the Mori family.

Yamazaki took a detour from the side of the Maori Detective Office and walked home, and by the way, he went to the Maori Detective Agency and Maori's house to look, and found that the doors were locked properly, so he informed Maori with his mobile phone.

After a few moments, the Mori and Shiratori Police Department led some police officers over, and then entered the Maori detective office, intending to wait for the rabbit, while Yamazaki turned around and went back to Mei Dai's restaurant. ……

Mei Dai Restaurant.

Yamazaki told Miyakoko Miyamoto about today's incident and the floppy disk, and then said, "Mom, according to our intelligence, our mayor is still good. I think I can call him and give him a heads-up. ”

"It's not just him, but Governor Harushima. Miyamoto Miko said, "Judging from the current situation, his main opponent's policy is to raise taxes on large enterprises, which can be said to represent small and medium-sized enterprises, and with the relationship network of rice flowers to build a club, there will never be large enterprises in this floppy disk, that is, it can more or less allow Governor Harushima to take advantage of it." ”

"Tomorrow is the time to divide the winners, and it seems that Governor Harushima is lucky. Yamazaki laughed.

"But by this time they should have known. Miyamoto Miko said, then thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, show your concern." Then he said to Yamazaki, "Okay, you go change your clothes and go to work, I'll call them and let them know." ”……

Night, Ganguta Police Station, a rest room.

"Lan, how long are we going to wait? The garden complained.

"This," Lan said helplessly, "Dad didn't say it." ”

"Then give him a call. The garden said.

"No," said Conan, "a bad one will expose them." ”

"Ah, when are we going to wait? "Wait any longer, we'll be rabbits." Then he said, "Otherwise, I'll go to my house and ask Dad to send a car to pick us up." ”……

Night, Maori Detective Agency.

Maori and Shiratori waited until late at night, and the rabbit did not come to hit the stump, so they had to rearrange it. At this moment, the phone of the Shiratori Police Department rang, and Shiraku Shigekichi himself appeared, asking them to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department, and at the same time asked him to tell Mori that Ran and they went to Suzuki's house. ……

In the early hours of the morning, the Metropolitan Police Department, a conference room was searched.

Maori waited for a short time, and the Twilight Police Department came and told him about Shirakukichi.

According to Shiraku Shigekichi, he took advantage of the opportunity to work overtime this morning to go to the Rice Flower Construction Club, stole the floppy disk in the president's office, and planned to go to the Maori Detective Agency after work in the afternoon, but found that someone was following him, so he wanted to go to the Rice Flower News Agency, and found that a person suspected of following him put the floppy disk in Ran's bag while Ran was asleep, and then got out of the car, trying to lure people away, and took the opportunity to escape. As for not calling the police, it was because he had no evidence at the time, and he was afraid that the police would not believe him, but would return the floppy disk he had stolen with great difficulty to Rice Flower Construction Club.

Shortly after Shirakushige got out of the car, he was attacked from the side while walking through a back alley, and he was knocked unconscious, so it was determined that there were at least two gangsters.

When Shirakuchi wakes up, he finds himself tied up in the office of a scrap car repair shop, and is questioned by a man wearing a hood, who is afraid to tell him that he put the floppy disk in Lan's bag, but does not say that he knows Lan, only that Lan used to write his name on the car window.

In the evening, Shirakushi overhears two people talking about a bag.

"Stupid, since the thing isn't in there, what are you doing with this bag back!"

"No, big brother, this bag is very valuable, much higher than the commission he gave us. ”

"Really?"

"Yes, big brother, you know what I do, although Devonie's bag is rarely seen, but I still know, this must be genuine, and this is a crocodile ......"

"Oh, that's a bonus. ”

"Also, look at this student ID. ”

"Maoriran, huh? This address is ......."

"It's the address of a Maori detective agency, and it's not the daughter of a Maori detective. ”

"Maori detective, this is a troublesome guy, the guy didn't say that in the first place. ”

"So, big brother, I see ...... of us"

According to Shirakuchi, he was comatose again soon after, and when he woke up, he found that he was not tied, and there was a newspaper bag on the table in front of him, which contained Lan's student ID, as well as a wallet, a bunch of keys, handkerchiefs, tissues, and other things. Then he found that he was left unattended, so he took his things and went to the nearby Rice Flower Police Station, and it happened that the Rice Flower Police Station was assisting in handling his incident, so he reported it to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"I see, so to speak, the two gangsters ran away with their bags. Maori said.

"Speaking of which, Mori, when I made the transcript for Mr. Shiraku, the people from the tax department were there, and people are now suspicious of your declaration this year," the Twilight Police Department raised its triangular eyes, "Honestly, how much did you make as a detective?"

"Oh, no," Maori hurriedly exclaimed, "This bag was bought by Lan this afternoon, and I suspect that she accidentally bought the stolen goods, and was going to tell you, but she forgot about it for a while." ”

"Did you really forget about the stolen goods?" asked the Twilight Police Department angrily.

"Of course it's true. "Maori's sweat came down.

"Okay, I'll check it out. The Dusk Police Department finished speaking and left.

"Whew!" Maori breathed a sigh of relief. ……

Soon after, the Twilight Police Department came in with some papers and gave some photos to Maori for him to identify.

Maori looked at it and pointed to one, "This is it." ”

The Twilight Police Department found the information according to the photo number, and looked at it again, "Uh, are you sure it's this?"

"Definitely, what's the problem?" asked Maori.

"This is an item in a theft incident three months ago, the owner was bought abroad in the 90s, it was out that year, based on the back skin of a wild crocodile, a seven-inch limited edition. The Twilight Police Department put the papers on the table for Maori to see, and asked, "Do you know where Lan bought this bag?"

Looking at the price, Mori blinked, then looked up and said, "It's a store on the top floor of the Daikyu Department Store Kichijoji store, which sells thrift goods." ”

"Thrift store?" the Twilight Police Department frowned, "That's not going to be easy. ”

"yes, it's hard to find the source of the goods in that place. Maori said.

"Okay, let's go here today, Maori, you go back and rest first, and tomorrow bring Lan and Yuan to make a record. The Dusk Police Department said.

"Okay, then I'll go first. Maori said. ……

The next day, Sunday, April 11.

The morning newspaper carried news about the double account book of the Rice Flower Construction Society, and there were some businessmen and politicians engaged in a war of words. ……

Monday, April 12.

The morning newspaper carried the news that Governor Harushima had won the gubernatorial election by a margin due to the double-account book incident of the Rice Flower Construction Company. ……

Saturday, April 17th, morning, Poirot's Cafe.

When Maori's bonus arrived, he went to have a big drink last night and came back late, so he probably couldn't get up in the morning. So Lan decided to give himself a holiday, stop making breakfast, and take Conan down to eat.

Lan and Conan asked for a drink and a sandwich, then sat down in a booth behind the bar, where they were served a moment later.

Eating breakfast and looking at the pedestrians outside, Lan suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong, Sister Lan?" asked Conan.

"It's nothing, I just think I've seen Mr. Shile somewhere, but I can't count it. Lan said.

"Well," Conan said after a moment's thought, "Mr. Shiraku must be from Rice Flower Town, right? ”

"Is that so?" asked Ran.

One of the customers at the bar turned to Lan and smiled, "Conan is right, we did meet somewhere." ”

"Mr. Sheila, Mr. Shirak!" Lan exclaimed.

"I often come here for breakfast, especially after morning exercise on my day off. Shiraku said with a smile. ……
