Wednesday, April 29th, noon, outside Rice Flower Station.

When Conan arrived, he found that Dr. Asa had not yet arrived, and that Motota and Mitsuhiko were eating cold drinks and sitting back to back on a bench watching Ayumi play a video game console and fortune-telling game.

"Ah, Conan, you're here. Ayumi pointed to the game console and smiled happily, "That's right, you see, I'm a good match for Conan." ”

Yuan Tai was surprised and said, "Ahh ”

"That's not what I said, Motota," Mitsuhiko said, waving the cold drink in his hand, "Originally, poker divination and other things were all nonsense. ”

"Okay, I'll count Conan's too. Ayumi said.

"Hey, hey, don't help other people tell fortunes, okay?" Conan muttered.

Soon after, the results came out, A's hunch.

Conan straightened his triangular eyes, how many years has this console been?

"Hey, hey, what does that mean?" Ayumi asked.

"Well, what does A mean? That is, in front of B. Mitsuhiko said.

"I guess it means fried shrimp. Yuan Tai said.

"What, that's not what Kiss meant. Ayumi complained.

"What does Kiss mean?" asked Genta.

"You don't need to know that. Mitsuhiko shouted.

At this time, Dr. Asa came running and said, "Sorry, sorry, I'm late, the pool drain is blocked." ”

The four members of the detective group shouted together, "Really, you're too slow, doctor." ”

"I'm really sorry. Dr. Asa said, "Let's go." ”……

Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, the Maori Detective Agency.

Seeing Mori and Yamazaki return, Ran informs them that a gentleman named Asahi Katsuyoshi asks them to come over as soon as possible.

"Asahi Katsuyoshi, I remember that the owner of the Tokyo Bay Sea Amusement City, which will open in two days, is called that. Maori touched his chin and said, "If it were him." ”

"Dad. Lan shouted dissatisfied.

"Got it, got it, I'll check it out whether it's or not. Maori said, and then asked, "By the way, Lan, where are you going in this kind of outing?"

Lan said: "Oh, the garden called me and Mei Daizi to go to her house for afternoon tea, and we can come back at four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"I see," Maori laughs, "don't eat too fat." ”

"You don't have to worry about it. Lan said angrily.

"Okay, okay, I don't care. Mori laughed, and then said to Yamazaki, "Let's go." ”……

Nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, the Eastern Capital Aviation Museum.

Looking at the various planes, Mitsuhiko shouted happily, "It's great, there are all kinds of planes." ”

Looking at the brochure, Motota said, "It seems that you can simulate flying a helicopter here, so it should be interesting." ”

"It's a shame that you have to be at least in the fifth grade to simulate flying a helicopter," Conan said, "and it's written in this booklet." ”

The three of them took a closer look and complained together, "That's true." ”

Dr. Asasa said, "Then I'll tell you something interesting." ”

"No, now for a riddle time. Mitsuhiko said.

"Riddles?" Dr. Asa muttered to himself, "Is this popular now?"

The riddle is that three children born on New Year's Day, April Fool's Day and Japanese Children's Day formed a meeting together, and what kind of meeting was it, suggesting that it was an animal that flew in the sky like an airplane.

Conan guessed it, and added up the birth dates of the three people to January 1, April 1, and May 5, which was October 7, and took the homonym as reindeer.

"Reindeer?" Motota didn't understand.

Ayumi said, "It's the animal that flies in the sky at Christmas with Santa's sleigh." ”

Mitsuhiko said, "Exactly. ”

"It turned out to be this. Yuan Tai said, and then inadvertently found a middle-aged man there, looked at it carefully and smiled, "Look, that's the photographer Mr. Shishido Eimei." ”

"Who?" asked Conan.

"A photographer who takes pictures of the Yuantai family's restaurant. Ayumi said, "The picture was in a magazine." ”

Mitsuhiko whispered to Conan: "Actually, people are taking pictures of that street, but they just put Yuantai's house in the middle. ”

Afterwards, Dr. Asasa took a group of detectives around the museum for an afternoon. ……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, outside the Asahi house.

"It's such a big house, it seems that it's the rich man. Maori smiled, "Let's go, it looks like there's big business." ”

Soon after, the back garden of the Asahi house.

After the porter was named, Mori and Yamazaki were brought in by security guards to meet Asahi Katsuyoshi, who was sitting at a table drinking red wine with a sommelier standing next to him.

"That's Mr. Fair Sawaki. Maori whispered to Yamazaki.

"Welcome, welcome, you're a Maori detective, right? I'm Asahi Katsuyoshi," Asahi Katsuyoshi got up and said, "I happened to have a very tricky thing, and Sawaki recommended you, you must help me." ”

"Please rest assured, Mr. Asahi," Mori said proudly, "as long as I, Mori Kogoro, come out, there is no incident that cannot be solved." ”

"That's great, come on, please take a seat. Asahi Shengyi said, "Sawaki, pour the wine." ”

After a while, after listening to the commission, Maori squirted out the red wine in his mouth, "You said that your pet lizard ran into the garden and wanted me to find out?"

"It's not just a pet, it's a feng shui thing, it's very important to me. "So please, Detective Maori." ”

After that, Mori and Yamazaki went to catch the lizard, and after nearly two hours, they finally found the lizard in a tree, and when they returned, Sawaki was no longer there. ……

4:40 p.m., Maori Detective Agency.

Seeing Maori and Yamazaki return, Lan smiled, "Ah, you're back." Then he asked, "Dad, isn't that Mr. Xu, what is the incident?"

"Hmph, it's a stingy guy. Maori said.

"It's the rich Mr. Xu, but it's just a commission to find a pet. Yamazaki smiled, "The commission fee is 50,000 yen." ”

"Fifty thousand yen? That's a lot. Lan laughed.

Yamazaki said, "By the way, we saw Mr. Sawaki there, but we didn't say anything. Then he briefly explained the matter.

"It turned out to be recommended by Mr. Sawaki. Lan said, "Dad, you have to thank him next time, you and your mother had dinner last time thanks to him." ”

"Hmph, whoever wants to thank him, that bottle of red wine will cost me 400,000 yen. Maori said angrily.

"Dad. Lan shouted dissatisfied.

"Let's talk about it later. Maori said.

At this time, Conan returned, "I'm back." ”

Yamazaki looked at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, "Uncle, I'm going back." ”……

In the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

Mei Daizi received a call from Yuanzi looking for Lan, so she handed the phone to Lan.

Lan asked, "Garden, is there anything going on?"

Sonoko first asked Ran to press the speakerphone, and then said with a smile: "Ran, your Mr. Nishina will sign books at the bookstore in Shinjuku tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Really?" Lan said happily, "Then you can come with me tomorrow." As she spoke, she looked at Mei Daiko.

"No problem. Mei Daiko said.

"Now, Sister Lan," Conan asked, "who is Mr. Nishina?"

"It's Mr. Minoru Nishina, the author of the cooking book I'm reading right now. Lan laughed.

"I see. Conan said.

After that, the three of them agreed to come over after school tomorrow, and then ended the call. ……

Thursday, April 30, afternoon, Shinjuku.

Sonoko, Ran, and Midiko take Yamazaki and Conan, who has been waiting for them after school, to the book signing venue of Minoru Nishina. Seeing that the line was not short, Lan had to stay here and queue up, so Conan also stayed. Sonoko, Midaiko, and Yamazaki took their school bags and sat down in the rest area next to them.

After more than twenty minutes, Lan finally got the book, "Mr. Nishina, I hope you will be able to write more 'delicious' books in the future." ”

"Delicious book?" said Nishina with a smile, "That's a nice title, thank you." ”

Out of the bookstore, a red jewel car drove over and stopped in the parking area in front of the bookstore.

"That's," Ran said with some pleasure, "the famous model, Miss Nana Koyamauchi." ”

"I don't like her, Mr. Nishina is more handsome than in the pictures, I like that type. "It's gone, it's time to go back." "Say and go first.

On the way, Mei Daiko said, "By the way, Ran, Miss Koyamauchi, I went to your house last time." ”

"What!" Lan asked in surprise, "Why didn't I know that?"

Yamazaki said, "Because she left when she saw that you weren't there, and she didn't leave a message, I didn't tell my uncle." ”

"Aren't we here?" Lan asked, "what day?"

Mei Daizi smiled: "It's that my uncle was stuck with a fish bone, and the day you took him to the hospital, she came before you left." ”

"Speaking of which, Lan, you are really hard. Yuan Zi sighed, "Your mother ran away from home ten years ago." ”

"Yes, when I was seven years old, I remember they had a big fight, and the reason for the separation seemed to be a personality match. Lan said with some loss.

"It didn't take long for your mother to make a name for herself in the bar and eventually became the undefeated queen of the Tokyo Metropolitan Bar, while your dad quit his job as a criminal police officer and went to open the dismal detective office next to Midaiko's house. Sonoko said, "By the way, it's finally better now, and the sleeping Kogoro is also a detective in Tokyo, but with a reputation for bringing bad things to his clients, business is obviously not going to be much better." And he likes to drink and is too lazy to do housework, I think if it weren't for you, he would be buried in the garbage heap every day with cockroaches. ”

"No, Dad is so bad. Lan smiled, and then sighed, "Maybe it's really incompatible, otherwise Dad wouldn't make Mom angry every time." ”

Yuanzi said: "Then where is the personality incompatible, then it is not the same thing as an aunt." ”

Mei Daizi asked rhetorically, "But doesn't uncle care much about wedding rings?"

"Well, this one," said the garden, after a moment's thought, "that's just as well." Then he patted Lan on the shoulder, "I see, it must be your father who is that kind of awkward character." ”

"You're the awkward character. Lan laughed.

"That's good, don't be sad, you can find another opportunity in the future. Yuan Zi smiled.

"That's right. Lan smiled, then looked at a café and asked, "By the way, Mr. Nishina often hangs out in the restaurants on the streets and alleys, and he will write the restaurants with good food into the book, and he recommends this restaurant in the book, how about we try it?"

"Okay. The garden said.

Soon after, in a booth in the café.

Drinking the specialty drink, Lan asked, "How is it, what do you think?"

Mei Daizi said: "It looks good, but it doesn't taste like you said, and I can't bear to let go or something." ”

Sonoko said, "I think so too, it's not as delicious as Miss Yuko's, but it's really beautiful." ”

"That's good, I thought something was wrong with me," Lan said, "and I didn't feel as good as I thought." ”

Conan said: "Sister Lan, that's because you read the beautiful pictures in the book, so you think it's too good." ”

"Everyone's preferences are different, there is a saying that it is pleasing to the eye, and its appearance adds a lot of color to its taste, and maybe others feel good about it. "And in terms of price, the price-performance ratio is okay." ”

"That's just as well. Lan laughed.

"By the way, Mei Daizi, it seems that the things in your restaurant are not very good. Yuan Zi laughed, "It's not even like this......"

"Nonsense. Midaiko took out her mobile phone and contacted Miyako Miyamoto, and then pressed the speakerphone button, "Mom, do you know Mr. Minoru Nishina who writes the cookbook?"

"Minoru Nishina, do you want to ask why Mei Dai Restaurant doesn't appear in his book?" Miyamoto Miyako laughed, "That's because those restaurants pay a pen fee, which is a kind of advertisement." ”

"Huh?" Lan was taken aback, "Is that all false?"

"It's not fake, and it can't be said to be a lie, if it were really like this, there wouldn't be so many book fans like Lan. Mimiko Miyamoto smiled, "For ordinary people, the restaurants and restaurants he recommends are all good and suitable for them." ”

"I see. The garden said.

"Sounds like you're in a café right now, right?" Miyakoto said, "It's not too early, let's come back soon." ”

"Yes, I'll go back right away. Mei Daiko said.

"I hung up. Miyamoto said.

"Mom, goodbye. Mei Daiko hung up the phone after speaking.

"Let's go. Yamazaki said. ……

At six o'clock in the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

The Shiratori Police Department made a supplementary call to Mori's mobile phone and asked him to come to the Midoridai Police Hospital, and the Twilight Police Department had an incident looking for him, so Mori and Yamazaki went over.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Green Terrace Police Hospital.

The Shiratori Police Department picked up Mori and Yamazaki at the door, and then took them to a hospital room, "Mr. Mori, you can see for yourself." He pushed the door open.

Looking at the man on the hospital bed, Mori and Yamazaki were taken aback, "Dusk Police Department!"

"Shhhhh "Most people don't know I'm here yet, and it's going to be a problem to let the media know, so come in." ”

"The media?" said Maori, "I remember there was a news item in the evening newspaper today that someone was attacked by a bird crossbow during morning exercise, could it be ......?" said Yamazaki as he walked into the hospital room, and Yamazaki followed.

"Yes, the attack on the police department will arouse media enthusiasm, so we have temporarily blocked the news from the outside world. The Shiratori police department filled the room and closed the door.

"How's your injury?" asked Maori.

"I didn't hit the vital point and it wasn't life-threatening, but I needed to stay in the hospital for a few days. The Twilight Police Department laughed.

Or maybe the gangsters deliberately didn't take the life of the Twilight Police Department. The White Bird Police Department took out a bird crossbow with a crossbow arrow, "This is what I bought according to the murder weapon left at the scene, whether it is poisoning the arrow or replacing it with a triangular bloodletting arrow, it can take people's lives." ”

"Well, that's a warning. Maori said.

"At the moment, our police have not received any statements from organizations or individuals," added the Shiratori Police Department, "and Matsumoto is leading someone to follow up on the past incidents handled by the Twilight Police Department to see if anyone might have done such a thing." ”

"And who are you looking for me?" asked Maori.

"We found a paper sword at the scene, probably left behind by the gangsters. "Upon inspection, it may be the thirteenth card in spades on the playing cards, the sword in the king's hand." ”

"The thirteenth card of spades. Maori read.

"The heart represents love, the square represents money, and the plum blossom represents happiness," added Shiratori, "and spades represent death." ”

"My name happens to be thirteen, and I guess it's not necessarily a coincidence. "And Maori, you have a 'five' in your name, and you've worked with me, so maybe that guy will find you." ”

"I see, I'll be careful, thank you. Maori said seriously, and continued, "By the way, there is a 'three' in the name of the Shiratori Police Department, so ...... say."

The Shiratori Police Department added: "Yes, I may also be the target of the attack, so I was left here. ”

"I see. Maori said, then asked the Twilight Police Department, "By the way, when did you get into the habit of exercising in the morning?"

"Ah, that, occasionally, occasionally. The Dusk Police Department smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "Okay, you can go, be careful these days." ”

"I see, get some rest. Maori said. ……

On the way home, in the back seat of a taxi.

"Don't tell Lan about this for the time being. Maori said solemnly.

"I understand. Yamazaki said, "But uncle, you should stay home." ”

"I know. Maori said. ……
