Tuesday, May 27th, night, Maori House.

While Maori had gone to wash, Lan asked Conan, "Do you know what's going on with Daddy, Conan?

"I don't know, Sister Lan. Conan shook his head.

"It's really strange, are you sick?" Lan said suspiciously, "I ate a little bit of dinner, and left nine cans of beer at Mei Dai's restaurant, and I didn't finish the appetizers." ”

"I don't think I'm sick, my uncle's breakfast seems to have been eaten. Conan said, "By the way, Sister Lan, Uncle looks a lot like the guy who lost all the horses on TV yesterday." ”

"You're saying Dad made a big bet on the spur of the moment and lost it all at once. Lan said, rubbing his chin.

"Yes, Sister Lan. Conan nodded.

"But Dad's pocket money this month has long been spent, and you can also see that Aunt Miko kept the account, and it is not an exaggeration for Dad to say that he is in debt now. Lan asked, "Dad, where did he get the money for his bets?"

"Sister Lan, do you think uncle will he be the same as the person on TV who hid a sum of money from his wife," Conan asked with a smile, "Uncle also secretly hid a sum of money?"

"Secretly, you mean private money?" Lan smiled, "It's impossible, Dad is a moonlight clan and never saves money." Uh, wait," he said, "and it wouldn't be surprising if Dad lost all his money." And Dad is now looking the same as the person on TV, depressed and not thinking about tea and dinner. ”

"Really?" Conan asked rhetorically.

"It seems like yes. Lan said, then exclaimed, "Ahhhh

Conan raised his eyes, "Yes, probably not." Then he said, "Sister Lan, don't worry, it shouldn't be possible for your uncle to save a lot of money." ”

"Whew," Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "that's right." Then he heard the movement in the bathroom, and said, "Daddy is coming out, don't talk about it." ”……

However, the next day, Ran found that Maori hadn't eaten much for breakfast, and became worried for a while. When I came back in the afternoon, I found that Maori was drinking beer, and I was relieved for a while. However, I found that Maori still didn't eat much at night, and I got drunk after drinking only five cans of beer at Mei Dai Restaurant at night, and I became worried for a while. ……

Thursday, May 29, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Lan found that Maori still hadn't eaten much breakfast, so she was worried and prepared lunch for Maori, but when she came back, she found that Maori hadn't eaten much of the lunch she had prepared for Maori, so she asked Maori, who was lying on the desk, watching TV and drinking beer, "Dad, isn't lunch unpalatable?"

"It tasted good, I just couldn't eat it. Maori replied without raising his head, and continued, "You are busy with your business, and you don't have to worry about me." ”

"Really. Lan stomped his feet upstairs. ……

Evening, Maori home.

Maori gets drunk again at the Maidai Restaurant, and Yamazaki sends him back and leaves. Also returning are Ran and Conan.

Lan was worried, so she couldn't help but call Fei Yingli and tell her about it.

"Ha," Fei Yingli smiled, "Don't worry, your father will be fine, it will be fine in two days." ”

"But......" Lan was worried.

"Don't worry, it's fine. "He's just," and then added, "Okay, I've got something to do, so be it." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"It's just what, really, and I don't make it clear. Lan also hung up the phone.

"Don't worry, Sister Lan, it seems that Auntie knows what's wrong with her uncle now, since she said it's okay, she must be fine. Conan comforted, "Besides, didn't Aunt Miko also say that her uncle would be fine?"

Lan sighed, "But Dad's appearance really worries me." ”……

Friday, May 30, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Maori still didn't eat in the morning, and when Lan came back, he found that she had prepared lunch for Maori, and Maori hadn't eaten much, so he shouted worried to Maori, who was lying on his desk watching TV, "Dad, what the hell are you thinking?"

Maori said weakly: "I don't think it's nothing." ”

"Then why don't you eat?" Lan cried, "it's been three days. ”

"No appetite. Maori said.

"Daddy!" Lan shouted.

"Don't scream, it's a headache. Maori waved his hand like a fly, frowned, and continued, "The beer at home is gone, go buy me some beer." ”

"Really, you know how to drink. Lan grumbled as she looked at the half-dozen empty bottles on the table.

Although Lan complained, he still went to the convenience store, after all, beer is also food. Conan followed. When Ran and Conan came back with a dozen beers, they found that Yamazaki had already arrived, and he was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and remembered that he hadn't taken the newspaper yet, so he asked Conan to give the beer to Maori and go downstairs to get the newspaper himself.

After a while, Lan said happily, "Dad, there is a letter of entrustment." ”

"Entrustment? must be looking for someone again. Maori sipped his beer and said, "Yamazaki, help me take a look." ”

"Yes, uncle. Yamazaki opened the letter, and Ran and Conan joined in.

The letter of entrustment was written by Takeo Mikami, the mayor of Shikishima Town, who asked Mori to give a speech in Shikishima Town tomorrow, May 31.

"Shikishima?" Conan pondered, holding his chin.

"Acting, speaking?" said Maori angrily, "what kind of commission is this?" Run to a remote island to give a speech. Then he asked, "Hey, did you say how much the commission fee is?"

"Didn't say it. Yamazaki said.

"What, I don't even have a commission fee, and you still want me to give a speech, do you want me to pay for my own travel and accommodation expenses? Is this going to give a speech, or is it going to send him money? Maori said angrily, "No, no, Yamazaki, you can throw it away." ”

"Dad, let's just take it as a distraction. Lan said.

"Don't you want to spend money?" said Maori firmly, "No." ”

"So, Dad, I'll pay. Lan said.

"You?" said Maori angrily, "Isn't your money ours?"

"......" Lan was speechless with a black line, what the daring mother wanted to say was that she was just losing money. Then I thought to myself, how much private money did my father lose this time?

Conan asked, "Uncle, what influence do you have on this Shikishima?"

"Shikishima? No. "Never been." ”

Conan asked, "Then how did Uncle know all of a sudden that it was a remote island?"

"Huh?" said Maori, after a moment's thought, "I think I've heard this name a long time ago," and said after thinking about it again, "I think I've seen the news about it." Then he said, "It's been too long, I can't remember what it is." ”

Conan asked, "Brother Yamazaki?"

Yamazaki said, "Say whatever you want." ”

Conan asked, "Uncle, do you know the Ryujin?"

"Ryugami?" said Maori, "don't ask me about the things in the game. ”

"No, uncle," Conan said helplessly, "I'm talking about the Ryukami of eight or nine years. ”

"Ryukami in eight or nine?" Maori recalled.

"Conan, how did you know about eight or nine years?" Lan asked suspiciously, "Were you born at that time?"

"Ahh ”

"The Great Sailing Game?" Ran asked.

"It's a game based on the Age of Discovery," Conan said, "trading, treasure hunting, pirates." After I defeated the pirates, I changed the name of the pirate's gold ship to the Ryugami, and Dr. Asa told me about the Ryujin. ”

"I see. Lan said.

"By the way, the Ryugami should be the ship that went missing near Shikishima. Maori high-fived and laughed, "The ship of the 'Golden Pirate' with a hundred kilograms of gold." ”

"One, one hundred kilograms of gold!" Landa was taken aback.

"Yes, the market price is almost one billion yen. Maori stood up excitedly, and then went to the cabinet and took out a booklet with news cut and pasted from the newspaper.

"The first is that when a gold ship of the Otomo Metal Company arrived at the port, it was found that 100 kilograms of gold were missing. The second is that Otomo Metal found out that someone had touched the ship and stole the gold. The third is that after the police investigation, they locked on a yacht named Ryujin that had been close to the gold ship. The fourth is that the police encountered a sudden typhoon when they were chasing the Ryujin to the waters near Shikishima, and the Ryujin disappeared after the typhoon. The fifth is that the police searched for two weeks without finding any trace of the Ryujin, not even floating objects, so they thought that the Ryujin sank to the bottom of the sea in its entirety in the typhoon and gave up the search. "At that time, not only the police, but also private organizations and individuals led by Otomo Metal Co., Ltd. searched the waters near Shikishima, but they did not find any." It is said that Otomo Metal Company has been looking for a whole year. ”

Lan asked, "So, Dad, what does Ryugami have to do with this commission?"

"Why did you ask me to give a speech, I guess it's because of the geographical location, I got some clues about the Ryujin, and asked me to help find gold. Maori touched his chin and said with a twinkle in his eyes, "This commission is a disguise, so that there will be no case record when I declare my taxes, and the police will not know that I have taken over the commission about Ryujin, you know, these gold are still in the prosecution period, and behind the Otomo Metal Company is the Otomo Foundation, which is not easy to mess with." Also, this is a test of my detective Mori Kogoro, if I can't even see through this, I really think that I am just going to give a speech, then what qualifications are there to participate in the search for the Ryujin. And there is no commission fee, which is to be negotiated after finding gold. ”

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, that's what I said. Then he muttered, "Usually if I have to be so powerful, I will save trouble." ”

Maori stepped on the chair, clenched his fists and bent his arms and posed with a smile: "Very good, I'll go to Shikishima tomorrow." As soon as the words fell, a series of cooing sounds came out of his body, to be precise, in his stomach, and he lost his strength at once.

"Uh, Lan, do you have anything to eat now?" said Maori, embarrassed, "I feel like I can eat a cow now." ”

"Poof!" Lan laughed happily, it was so good, Dad recovered, and then smiled, "Dinner hasn't been cooked yet, why don't I help you heat up the lunch?"

"Lunch is lunch, just hurry up. Maori clutched his stomach, lay on the desk, and said with a sad face, "Hungry." ”

"Right away. Lan said and went to heat the meal.

"It's good now. Conan muttered, "No need to eat leftovers like you did yesterday." ”

Maori said, "By the way, Yamazaki, you can come too." ”

"I'll go find you then, uncle," Yamazaki said, then asked with a smile, "Or, come with me?"

"With you, in a helicopter? No, no. Maori shook his head and said, "I'd rather be a fishing boat." By the way, I remember that there seemed to be a travel agency ferry to get there. ”

"I—I," Conan said, raising his hand, "uncle, I'm going too, take me too." ”

Maori said angrily: "What are you going to do, it's in the way, stay at home with Lan honestly." ”

"No, I'm going with you. Lan came out with the hot meal and placed it on the desk.

Maori ate and said, "What are you going to do, I don't know what will happen." ”

Lan raised his fist and said, "That's why I'm going." Then he smiled and said, "I still have to pay for the trip." ”

"Uh, this," Maori asked, pointing at Conan, "and you're going, what about this kid?"

Lan said, "Let Conan stay at Dr. Asasa's house." ”

"No, I don't," Conan said, "I'm going to go with you, take me with you, Sister Lan, Sister Lan." ”

Seeing that Conan looked like he was about to roll on the ground if he didn't agree, Lan smiled and said, "Dad, just take Conan there." ”

"Nonsense, he's a little kid," Maori said, "do you know how dangerous it is in here? Now the village chief must have blocked the news, and if it leaks, a lot of people will go." Until the police arrive, it will be dangerous. ”

"Haven't we leaked yet? We'll be back then. Lan said.

"Well," Maori said after a moment's thought, "Yamazaki, I'll ask you to bring them back then." ”

"No problem, Uncle Maori. Yamazaki smiled, and then added, "Ran, I think you'd better inform the garden, if you don't tell her about this kind of treasure hunt, she'll complain." Anyway, there aren't many more of her, so if she wants to go, take her with you. ”

"That's right. Lan said and went to call. ……
