Chapter 0718: The Incident of the Flowing Water Pavilion
Saturday, August 7th.
Before five o'clock in the afternoon, Yamazaki called home, the commission was solved, the client invited them to dinner, did not go home for dinner, and asked Mei Daiko to inform Ran.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Yamazaki called Mei Dai Restaurant, and the client couldn't eat late with them because of something temporary, but the dinner ordered at the Liushui Pavilion couldn't be refunded, so it was handed over to Maori to deal with.
"That's right. Miyamoto said.
"The time is eight o'clock in the evening and the address is here. Yamazaki said, and then reported the address.
"Okay, I got it. Miyamoto Miko laughed.
After ending the call, Miyako Miyamoto informs Maidiko, Ran, and Conan.
At 7:20 p.m., the first half of the work at Mei Dai Restaurant was almost over, and Mei Daizi, Lan and Conan changed their clothes and took a taxi to the Flowing Water Pavilion. ……
Less than eight o'clock in the evening, the Flowing Water Pavilion.
When Maidako, Ran, and Conan entered, a woman in a kimono in her twenties greeted, "Hello, excuse me?"
"Miss Kyoko, they're looking for us. Yamazaki came over and said, then introduced, "This is Miss Kyoko Anzai, the person in charge here. ”
"Hello. Midaiko, Ran, and Conan greeted Kyoko Anzai.
Lan asked, "Where's my dad?"
"Here. Maori greeted from the waiting area next to him, and said, "Let's go shopping, there are still ten minutes." ”
The Flowing Water Pavilion is a courtyard in the house, and in the center is an eight-room Japanese-style dining room, surrounded by a channel of clear shallow water, connected to the outside by a small red bridge, and a number of Japanese-style boats of various sizes are parked at the water's edge.
Kyoko Anzai introduced that under the remote control of radio and electronic programs, after starting, go to the window of the kitchen and stop, and after loading the dishes, go to the window of the guest room and stop, and after the guests take the dishes, press the switch to notify the kitchen, and the kitchen starts the boat again and lets the boat return to the mooring.
Seeing this, Lan smiled: "It's really funny." Then he asked, "Isn't it, Conan." ”
"Yes, Sister Lan. Conan laughed.
"It's not good, it's too slow. Midaiko said, then asked Yamazaki, "What's delicious here?"
"Well, the menu. Yamazaki handed a menu from the seat next to him to Mei Daiko, "I took a look, Isekai is a good sashimi, let's talk about the rest." ”
"There are eight servings in total, so you want them all. Midaiko flipped through the menu and said to Kyoko Anzai.
"All of them?" said Kyoko Anzai, "Can you invite a guest ......?"
"Yes," Yamazaki took out his wallet and paid, "it must be fresh and complete, don't take the charge that just died." ”
"Definitely not, and it will definitely be delivered to Tokyo today," Kyoko Anzai said happily after accepting the money, "I'll call someone to send it right away, please wait thirty minutes." Then he informed the kitchen behind him.
At this time, two men in their thirties came in, one was sturdy and the other was slightly taller, and Kyoko Anzai asked, "May I ask, is it Mr. Kaneda who booked room No. 8?"
"Kaneda?" the stout man asked his companion.
"It's not me, it's not me. Kaneda said angrily.
"Sorry to interrupt. Kyoko Anzai said.
At this time, a thin middle-aged man came over, "Kaneda, Arai, you guys are here." ”
"Good evening, Professor Iwama. Arai smiled, and then noticed that Kaneda didn't say hello, so he said, "Kaneda, you're too rude." ”
"It's not what I wanted to come to. Kaneda said angrily.
"Hey, today is Professor Iwama personally celebrating your promotion to associate professor. Arai said with some anger.
"Hmph, don't shout, from today onwards, call me Assistant Teacher Kaneda. "Don't think that we can be disrespectful to me at the same time, you know? ”
"You ......" Arai's face changed.
Kaneda asked Kyoko Anzai, "What is the most expensive dish here?"
"Well, it's a puffer fish Shirako. Kyoko Anzai said.
"Then send three copies. Kaneda said, then asked Professor Iwama, "Is that okay, Professor?"
"Of course it's okay, today is to celebrate your promotion to Kaneda, as long as you're happy. Professor Iwama smiled, and then said to Kyoko Anzai, "Miss Kyoko, please send three copies of Fugu Shirako to the third room I booked." ”
Sensing the danger coming from the skinny professor next to him, Yamazaki thought to himself, the guy who didn't have the right mouth.
"Okay, I got it. Kyoko Anzai smiled, "Professor Iwama, if you are in room three, you can go there now." ”
"Oh, really? That's great. Professor Iwama smiled at Kaneda and Arai, "Then let's go over." Then he took Kaneda and Arai and left.
"Hey, Miss Kyoko, what about us?" asked Maori.
"I'm sorry, sir. Kyoko Anzai said, "The guests in room 2 are still there, and it's not yet eight o'clock in the evening." Then inform the kitchen that room 3 will add three more puffer fish white seeds.
"What's more?" said the chef as he lifted the curtain and stuck his head out, "Professor Iwama orders so many dishes every time, but he doesn't eat much every time, really." ”
"Alright, don't talk nonsense. Kyoko Anzai said, "Professor Iwama just likes the dishes piled up on the table. Then he said, "By the way, it should be delivered by a big boat." ”
"Got it. The chef said, and went back to the kitchen.
"My prawns are also going to be delivered by a big boat. Mei Daiko said.
"No problem. Kyoko Anzai smiled.
At this time, the door of room 2 was opened, and the guests inside came out.
"Sir, please wait a moment. Kyoko Anzai said to Maori, and then hurriedly took someone to clean up.
Soon after, Kyoko Anzai invited the five Maori into room two. ……
Room 2.
Everyone sat down around the table, with Maidako, Ran, and Conan sitting on one side of Room One, and Yamazaki and Mori on the side of Room One
Soon after, a large food delivery boat pulled over the window.
Looking at the wine and food on it, smelling the fragrance coming to his nose, Maori swallowed his saliva and hurriedly moved them to the table, filling the table.
"What a hearty dish. Lan smiled and asked, "What did you commission, Dad?"
"Well, this, our client has kept hundreds of millions of yen in property. Maori said.
"I see. Mei Daiko said.
Lan smiled: "Dad, you are really amazing. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Maori digressed the subject, "I'm hungry, let's eat." ”
The reaction was so weird, Conan looked at Yamazaki, meaning, it can't be divorced property, right?
Yamazaki nodded to Conan, yes, indeed.
While eating, Yamazaki hears the third room next door, Arai complains that Kaneda has been in the bathroom for too long, and Professor Iwama asks him to buy a pack of cigarettes and come back.
Listening to the sound of the door opening and closing, Yamazaki sighed in his heart, it can't be such a coincidence, right? But Uncle Maori, forget it, let's go and see.
"Sorry, I'll go out for a while. Yamazaki put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, then opened the door and went out, then took the door and knocked on the door of the third room next door.
"Who is it?" Professor Iwama's somewhat panicked voice came from inside.
"Sorry, I came in. Yamazaki opened the door and found Professor Iwama standing in front of the window, panickedly hiding a dagger in his bag, while a large food delivery ship was parked under the window not far behind him.
Yamazaki stepped into the room, closed the door with his backhand, looked over Professor Iwama, and found that the ship's board had been lifted, revealing a large space, and understood that Room 8 had indeed been rented by Kaneda so that he could meet Professor Iwama. Professor Iwama plans to take advantage of his small size and hide in the boat to meet Kaneda by waterway, assassinate him while Kaneda is not looking, and then return by waterway.
"Who are you?" Professor Iwama asked in a low voice.
"It's kind of nosy. Yamazaki sighed quietly, and then asked, "I'll just ask directly, why did you kill Kaneda, maybe I can help you?"
"Y-What nonsense are you talking about!" Professor Iwama exclaimed, lowering his voice.
"Forget it," Yamazaki whispered, shrugging his shoulders, "and you can continue to think about the next murder plan." Then he turned and walked away.
"Wait. Professor Iwama said quickly, then said in a low voice, "Wait. ”
"Then say, please hurry. Yamazaki turned around and whispered.
After thinking about it for a while, Professor Iwama gritted his teeth, and then whispered: "I stole the student's paper, Kaneda used the student's paper that I once published in my own name as a threat, not only wanted me to recommend him at the professor's election meeting, but also asked me to give him 50 million yen, damn, I can't do any of this." He couldn't have become a professor because of his lack of qualifications, and I couldn't give him any money except for debt. ”
"I see. Yamazaki asked in a low voice, "Does he have real evidence, do you know where it is?"
"If I knew, I'd look for it myself. Professor Iwama whispered.
Yamazaki asked in a low voice, "How much money can you come up with now, do you have 10 million yen?"
"Ten million yen?" Professor Iwama whispered expectantly, "......?"
"Yes, give me your phone number and I'll recommend it for you. Yamazaki whispered, "If you can, you can get Kaneda drunk and put it on the park bench next to it." ”
"Drunk?" Professor Iwama whispered, "I've tried, but it won't work." ”
"You don't care about that, cash on delivery. Yamazaki asked in a low voice, "I don't think you're going to pay the bills, are you?"
"Of course not," Professor Iwama whispered, "10 million yen is only my salary for most of the year, and as long as this matter is resolved, I can still get a salary of more than ten or twenty years." As he spoke, he took a business card and gave it to Yamazaki.
"The phone number is good, we don't know each other. Yamazaki whispered.
"That's good. Professor Iwama wrote down his phone number on a small piece of paper and gave it to Yamazaki.
Yamazaki whispered, "Then it's decided." ”
"That's it. Professor Iwama whispered. ……
After that, Yamazaki left room three, then made a phone call to Oda Nobue on his mobile phone, reported the phone number of Professor Iwama on the note, then went to the bathroom to shred the note, flushed it down the toilet, and returned to room two. ……
Before ten o'clock in the evening, Maori burped and left the Flowing Water Pavilion with the four Yamazaki. ……
Night, Miyamoto's house, living room.
Midaiko went back to the room, Yamazaki told Miyakoto Miyako about tonight, and as soon as she finished speaking, the mobile phone rang, and Oda Nobue informed him that she had been in contact with Professor Iwama.
"Okay, I got it. Yamazaki laughed, "Be careful." ”
"Of course. Nobue Oda laughed, and then ended the call. ……
Night, Maori home, living room.
After Maori came out of the shower, he drank a glass of water, put down the cup and said, "It's a good evening." ”
"Then we'll go later. Lan laughed.
"No, I won't. Mao used the remote control to broadcast the TV and said casually, "What's the point of a kiateen without a geisha." Then he felt the cold hairs on his body stand up, and when he looked at Lan Hei's face, he immediately shivered, and said with a dry smile, "No, nothing else." ”
"Really? Let me do it. Lan gritted his teeth and said, "Let me give you a massage, guest!"
"No, no, no. Maori's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped back with both hands and feet, and then turned over and tried to get up, but was held back by Lan who rushed in.
In the midst of Maori's screams of pain, after a crunch of bones, Lan clapped his hands and sat up from Maori's lower back.
Looking at the Maori spread out on the ground in a large shape, Conan wiped a cold sweat, good, so terrible. ……
The next day, Sunday, August 8, seven o'clock in the morning, Miyamoto's house, living room.
Yamazaki received a call from Nobue Oda and found something in Keizo Kaneda's room at the residence of Keizo Kaneda's parents, and he had confirmed it with Nobuo Iwama and was sending it to him.
"It turned out to be hidden there. Yamazaki smiled and asked, "How did you find there?"
"When we took the drunk back to his apartment, we saw a note from his mother telling him something trivial. "We didn't find anything in his room, and we didn't find any proof of bank lockers or anything like that, so we went around his parents' place, and we were lucky." ”
"That's good. Yamazaki smiled, "It's kind of a return for your introduction." ”
"Okay. Oda Nobue smiled, "Okay, so be it." ”
"Okay, goodbye. Yamazaki laughed. ……
Tuesday, August 10, before noon, Miyamoto's house, living room.
Before the meal, Mei Daiko flipped through the morning newspaper and found an article about tomorrow's total solar eclipse, thought about it, and asked Yamazaki, "How about we go to see the total solar eclipse tomorrow?"
"Absolutely. Yamazaki laughed.
"Then I'll call the garden and be right back. Mei Daiko said. ……
In the afternoon, the Maori Detective Agency.
After the garden came over, he discussed it with Mei Daiko and Ran, and decided to go to the sky tomorrow to watch the total solar eclipse, and the candidates were the three of them and Mori and Yamazaki, and at Ran's suggestion, they were also going to bring Conan, Ashbara, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Motota, and Dr. Asasa.
After that, Yamazaki, Maidiko, Sonoko, and Ran went to Rice Flower Square to hang out, and Conan went to Dr. Asasa's house. ……
Dr. Asasa's house.
When Conan arrived, Dr. Asa was entertaining the three of them with watermelons.
Eating watermelon, Conan told the matter, and the three of them immediately agreed, and Dr. Asa said that he meant to look at Ashbara, and under the persuasion of the three Ayumi trio, Ashbara thought about it and agreed, so Dr. Asa also agreed.
After that, Conan, who wanted to go to Rice Flower Square, was left behind by the three Yuan Tai and played poker with them. ……
Wednesday, August 11.
Eleven people, including Mori, Yamazaki, Maidiko, Sonoko, Ran, Conan, Ashbara, Motota, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Dr. Asasa, gathered at the Mori Detective Office and took the Haneda Airport Bus to Haneda Airport, and then went to the VIP room of Speed Airlines. ……
