Sunday, April 4th, afternoon, Yamagata Prefecture Kotoya Ryokan, Mori's room.

Sending off Harumi Fukatsu, Yamazaki looked at the record just now, and there was a feeling that he couldn't catch it even though he was close at hand.

Mei Daizi smiled: "Brother, what else are you looking at, this commission, even if Uncle Maori breaks his leg, he can't find out." ”

"I can't help it, but I think there's something wrong with it. Yamazaki said, "It's a bit of a coincidence that Miss Harumi, Miss Asuka, and Miss Ema are here. ”

Midaiko asked, "It can't be that someone really wants to kill Miss Asuka and Miss Ema, and then blame Miss Harumi, right?"

"It's not impossible. "And now if you want to investigate, you can only start from this aspect." ”

"Well," Midaiko counted with her fingers crossed, "they came to discuss the role of the script, and the script was provided by Eri-sensei, who was recommended by the editor of Hoda, who is a friend of the producer of Bando, and the summary is that the producer of Bando wants to make a TV series that reflects the workplace of women." ”

"Eri-sensei, editor Hoda, and producer Bando, all three of them," Yamazaki said, "Let's start with Eri-sensei." ”

"But what do you say?" said Midaiko, "You can't just ask her, 'Hey, Eri-sensei, are you planning to kill Miss Asuka and Miss Ema, and then blame Miss Harumi?'" ”

"No, we're just telling them a truth," Yamazaki laughs, "and the higher you climb, the worse you fall." ”

"I don't understand. Mei Daizi said angrily, "Brother, you have something to say." ”

"So far, no one has committed a crime, and even if we find out who is trying to kill, we can't call the police to arrest anyone. "Because the prisoner is still in the stage of thinking, and it is not illegal to simply think because there is no evidence." ”

"That's right. Midaiko asked, "So what?"

"At the same time, we don't have that time to wait for the rabbit all the time, and there are no police, so if the prisoner is forcibly killed, he will definitely succeed. "So, we need to dispel the idea of murder." ”

"The higher you climb, the worse you fall?" Midaiko pondered, "What does that mean?"

"Aren't they going to act in a TV series? When the TV series is broadcast, they will definitely be much more famous than they are now. "When the time comes, there will naturally be reporters who will dig up their news, whether it is positive or negative." ”

"I understand a little, brother, you mean, borrowing the hands of reporters and letting them expose the matter," Mei Daiko said, "but there is no evidence for this." ”

"Of course there is evidence," Yamazaki asked rhetorically, "The illegal drugs in the hands of Miss Asuka and Miss Ema can't be processed and produced by themselves, right?"

"Understood," Mei Daiko smiled, "It's the sellers who shipped the goods, and the classmates who bought the goods." Then he said funny, "Wait, brother, do you think these people will come forward to testify? Don't be stupid." ”

"These people won't come forward to testify, but there will be people who will sell the news to reporters," Yamazaki said, "and how much money they can make depends on how famous Miss Asuka and Miss Ema will be by then." ”

"That's true," Mei Daiko laughed, "the more famous the two of them are, the more people will betray their news, and the temptation will be irresistible." ”

"At that time, I may not be able to send Miss Asuka and Miss Ema to the court, but I will definitely be able to send them to the moral judgment seat, and they will be pointed out by a thousand husbands at that time, even if they apologize, they will not be able to obtain forgiveness, because the life of Miss Sakurako, who committed suicide, will never come back, and they can only withdraw from the celebrity circle gloomily and live with this stain for the rest of their lives. "I think this kind of punishment is better than killing them." ”

"So, if it's like what you said, brother, then they will indeed fall badly. Mei Daiko smiled, "And this is also Miss Sakurako's own revenge, interesting." ”

"So," Yamazaki said, "I think that should convince the intend murderer." ”

"Okay, then we'll come one by one, and I'll go and ask Mr. Grace. Mei Daiko smiled. ……

Soon after, Wise Eri is invited by Midako, and Yamazaki is not sure who the culprit is, so he can only make up a plausible story.

A girl reported two female classmates at school unsuccessfully, but was framed, and committed suicide in sadness and despair.

The girl's family later tried to take revenge, and finally came up with a solution, which was to make them big stars and then let them fall freely.

"That's it. Yamazaki asked, "What do you think of this story?"

Wise Eiri, who had been silent, nodded, "Yes," and then looked at the sleeping Maori, "But do you think you are in favor of doing this well or against?"

"It's not something anyone can stop," Yamazaki said, "and if you do it, you have to take responsibility." ”

"The sleeping Kogoro is really worthy of his name. Wise smiled and got up to salute and leave.

Midaiko asked, "Brother, what does she mean?"

"I guess she misunderstood us when we came to her and said that these were uncles," Yamazaki smiled wryly, "so we might have found the right person." ”

"Is that her?" Midaiko was surprised, "It's that Eri-sensei plans to kill Miss Asuka and Miss Ema, and then blame Miss Harumi." ”

"No, we seem to have made a mistake," Yamazaki was a little embarrassed, "how can I say it, the heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman." ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Midaiko.

Yamazaki said: "I'm afraid that Mr. Eri prepared this script for Miss Asuka and Miss Ema to make them fall from the clouds to the mud from the beginning, so I named Miss Asuka and Miss Ema, and Miss Harumi, Mr. Eeri asked her to be a witness. ”

"Witness?" Midaiko reacted, "Oh, witness Sakurako-sama's suicide, and see the retribution that proves Miss Hika and Miss Ema." Then he smiled, "So, we are actually worried in vain, in fact, we just need to wait to watch the show." ””

"yes. Yamazaki smiled, "Okay, since there's nothing going on, let's hurry up and pack up and leave." ”……

Yamazaki packed up his things first, wrote a simple letter, and sent it to Harumi Fukatsu's room.

In the name of the Mori Detective Agency, the letter said that the investigation commissioned by Harumi Fukatsu was complicated and troublesome, and there was no guarantee that it would be cleared, so I would not pay a deposit or anything else, but just asked Harumi Fukatsu to wait patiently for a year, and keep Miss Sakurako's affairs confidential during this year, and not to mention it again, and not to hire another detective, and a year later, the Mori Detective Agency will notify Harumi Fukatsu of her commission, regardless of whether there is a result or not. ……

Yamazaki and Midaiko said goodbye to Ran and the others, as well as Akechi Eri and the others, and took the hotel bus to Yonezawa Station.

As a result, due to the investigation and the snowy road, there was no way to catch the flight, so Yamazaki and Midaiko had to transfer to the Yamagatata-Tohoku Shinkansen back to Tokyo Station.

And in the end, when Yamazaki and Mei Daiko took a taxi and hurried home, Mei Dai Restaurant had already opened, that is, they didn't have time for dinner, and then they had to go to work at Mei Dai Restaurant hungry first. ……

Wednesday, April 7, morning, Miyamoto house.

News was broadcast in the news about the incident with the Japanese hostages in Irak, where terrorists hijacked the Japanese and demanded that the Self-Defense Forces retreat.

The upper echelons said that they would never succumb to terrorist forces, and at the same time would actively carry out rescue activities. ……

In the afternoon, the Maori Detective Agency.

Mori, Ran, Sonoko, Dr. Asasa, and the Junior Detective Corps have returned from Yamagata and haven't played much, but the roles in the Akerui Eiri script have all been set for the time being, except for Conan and Ashbara, the two of them did not agree to perform.

The theme of the play is the female workplace, that is, three female college students in the new era, for their own hobbies and ideals, struggle in their respective fields, and achieve some achievements, and then between love and work, start a dilemma, whether to continue to reflect their own values, or let go of their ideals and teach each other from now on.

In the end, the three of them had three choices, one kicked the macho man away and chose a man who could understand her and support her work, one simply chose to be single, and the other chose to marry and raise children due to social pressure.

The three people chose three different paths, and the merits and demerits were judged by the audience. ……

Mori, Ran, Sonoko, Dr. Asasa, Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko all booked a role, but the specific situation depends on how much the venture capital company controlled by Ayako Suzuki will invest or how many sponsors it can pull.

In short, it's all about money. ……
