Monday, July 21, 8:30 p.m., Endo Dental Clinic.

After parting from each other, without waiting for Mr. Endo to ask, Mori "betrayed" Conan, "If what this kid says is true, I'm willing to help you do something." ”

Mr. Endo said, "I see, Conan heard me talking on the phone." ”

Lan said, "I'm sorry, this kid has always been very curious. ”

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes and laughed dryly twice as a sign of apologies for the faux pas.

"It doesn't matter, if it weren't for that, it wouldn't have been for me to run into a Maori detective. Mr. Endo said, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Mori, maybe the prisoner just saw you and didn't come out to see me." ”

"Really?" Mori laughed, "I'm sorry." ”

However, Conan didn't see any embarrassment on Maori's face, and his smug look was quite similar. Then I thought to myself, maybe the prisoner didn't intend to take the ransom today, and the prisoner asked Mr. Endo to go to the beer house in order to observe him from somewhere, so that he could make sure that he had called the police.

"Please don't say that, it's a blessing for me to meet Mr. Maori at this time. Mr. Endo asked, "Keita's matter will trouble Mr. Mori." ”

"You're welcome. Maori said, "Please tell me what happened." ”

"My son's name is Keita, and he was playing alone in the front yard this afternoon, but he wasn't there when I looked for him. "Then I found the note. He pulled a note out of his pocket.

"If you call the police, he'll die, and we'll get back in touch. Maori picked it up and said, "This paper is a normal copy paper. Then he asked, "Since you will be there, it is that the prisoner has contacted you later, what did he say to you?"

"It was a young man who called and asked me to put 30 million old bills in the box and pay the ransom in that beer house. Mr. Endo said, "That's what the other party instructed me, but while I was waiting for the ransom to be paid, I received a call that the transaction was temporarily canceled, and this is the same one that this kid heard." ”

Maori asked, "Did the prisoner say when the next trade would be?"

Mr. Endo said, "I didn't say a specific time, but I just said that I would wait at home tomorrow." ”

Maori asked, "By the way, did you hear Keita's voice when they first called you?"

"Yes, yes," said Mr. Endo, "I begged the man for a long time before he let Keita talk to me." ”

Maori asked, "So, what do you think Keita was in at that time, and was he injured?"

"Well," Mr. Endo said after a moment's thought, "Keita's voice was unexpectedly cheerful, and he didn't feel a little scared at all. ”

"What?" Maori was taken aback, then asked angrily, "This can't be a prank by your relatives, is it?" and then laughed dryly, "Just kidding, just kidding." Then he said, "Because it's weird, in general, children cry and want to find their mother." ”

"His mother died. Mr. Endo said gloomily.

"I'm sorry," Maori said quickly, "I'm so sorry. ”

"It doesn't matter. "That's why Keita has always been familiar with the kindergarten teacher and the neighbor's wife. ”

"So that's what happened. "Then I understand that maybe this prisoner has an accomplice, and a woman who is used to having children, and it is likely that this woman is taking care of Keita." ”

Maybe his uncle was right, Conan thought to himself, and maybe it was someone Keita knew, so he walked out of the yard and left with the woman without shouting, so at least Keita was less likely to be abused at their hands.

Mori said, "Mr. Endo, to be honest, I think I should contact the police for this kind of thing. ”

"You can't do that, and if the police intervene, it's possible that the culprit will be caught, but," Mr. Endo said worriedly, "but there's no guarantee that Keita will come back safely." ”

"But ......," Maori thought to himself, and it would be a problem if the Twilight Police Department found out later.

"Mr. Mori, I have only hope in you now, so," Mr. Endo bowed his head and asked, "so please make sure that Keita comes back safely, can you please do me this favor?"

"What's this?" Māori considered.

Mr. Endo said, "By the way, Detective Maori, I'm willing to take one-tenth of this ransom as your commission fee. He opened the box.

"Huh!" Looking at the box full of money, Maori immediately showed his eyes and threw the Twilight Police Department behind.

Mr. Endo asked, "How is it, Mr. Mori?"

Maori grabbed Mr. Endo's hand and smiled very enthusiastically: "I understand, in fact, it is our side that took the initiative to talk about this matter this time, and I will definitely do my best, no, I will definitely solve this case satisfactorily." ”

Both Ran and Conan turned their faces away.

Mr. Endo said, "Thank you so much. ”

"By the way, here's my business card. "We'll go back tonight, and tomorrow the prisoners will call you, and you can call me then." ”

"Yes, I see. Mr. Endo closed the box and took the business card.

Mori said, "By the way, Mr. Endo, please give me some pictures of Keita." ”

"I forgot. Mr. Endo went to get the photo, and Conan took the opportunity to put the patch tracker on the bottom of the box.

Mr. Endo took out the album and said, "Which one do you think is better?" ”

Maori thought for a moment and took twelve photos, "I will definitely be responsible for bringing Gui Taiping back safely." Then he said goodbye to Mr. Endo and left. ……

Less than 9:30 p.m., Mei Dai Restaurant.

Mimiko Miyamoto received a call from Misa Horiuchi, "Madam, the Hokkaido Takusan Bank is still bankrupt. ”

Miyamoto Miko asked, "What's going on?"

"Yes, there was an emergency suspension of trading in the stock this afternoon. "But the people I sent to the Hokkaido Takusan Bank did a preliminary inventory of the Hokkaido Takusan Bank's assets based on the closing price at noon, and they found that the Hokkaido Takusan Bank is now actually bankrupt." If this news breaks out, although it is not as big as the news of bankruptcy to hit the financial market, it is inevitable that the price of financial stocks will dive tomorrow. Then he asked, "Madame, what now?"

Miyamoto Miko asked, "How much absolute non-performing assets are there?"

Misa Horiuchi said, "This is 500 billion yen more than our original estimate, and the preliminary estimate of absolute non-performing assets is about 3.5 trillion yen. ”

Miyamoto Miko asked, "Why is it so bad?"

"Hokkaido Takusan Bank's overseas business has completely withdrawn, and many of the more than 200 stores in Japan have been rented. "That's where we miscalculated. ”

"Well, let's report the news first, and then talk to them about the acquisition," Miyakoto said with a smile, "The purchase price is only 100 yen." ”

"One hundred yen?" asked Misa Horiuchi, "what if the other party doesn't agree?"

Miyamoto Miko smiled: "Then let others carry this 3.5 trillion yen non-performing asset." ”

"Yes, I see. Misa Horiuchi smiled.

"Alright, we'll talk about the rest when this is over. Miyamoto Miko said, "By the way, just give them one chance, and if you don't agree, you won't talk about it." ”

"Yes, ma'am. "In the ripple effect, we have opportunities for other companies. ”

"Then you should rest early. Mimiko Miyamoto hung up the phone, and then found that Mori had led Ran and Conan in, so she asked, "Mori, is there anything to do with coming over now?"

Maori smiled: "I just received a big commission, please talk to Yamazaki and ask him to come over later." ”

"Good evening, Auntie. Lan and Conan said.

"Hmm. Good evening. Miyamoto Miko said, and then asked, "The big incident?" Is it this police incident?"

Maori said, "No, I took another commission. ”

"Again?" Miyamoto smiled, "You're amazing." ”

"Of course. Mori smirked, "This is a 3 million yen commission." ”

"I see. Mimiko Miyamoto smiled, "I'll let him go after closing." ”

"Well, then I'll go first. After Maori finished speaking, he led Lan and Conan to say goodbye. ……

At 10:20 p.m., the Maori Detective Agency.

When Yamazaki came over, the three Maori had just finished dinner.

Yamazaki listened to Maori talk about Mr. Endo's incident, and then looked at the photo of Keita on the table and asked, "Uncle, how are you going to start?"

"It's impossible for many people to know that Keita has a special affection for women, and he disappeared silently in his yard, maybe the prisoner is someone Keita knows, at least he knows that Keita will be very obedient when he gets along with women, which means that it is likely to be someone nearby. Maori said, "I'm relatively well-known and not easy to investigate, so you can help me investigate near Mr. Endo's house tomorrow." ”

Lan said, "Dad, you're so good." ”

"This level of reasoning, nothing. Maori smirked.

Yamazaki said, "Yes, I see, uncle." He said and took a photograph.

Lan asked, "Dad, what are you doing with these pictures?"

"Ask the police for help. Maori laughed.

Lan asked, "Didn't you say you couldn't tell the police?"

"Just tell the street cop that this is a kid who just got lost. Maori laughed.

Conan asked angrily, "What if the prisoner finds out?"

Lan asked, "Yes, Dad, what if I happen to ask about the prisoner?"

"Well, this shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?" said Maori, "Well, I'll think of something else." Then I went upstairs to take a bath, saying that I was thinking about it while soaking.

Kanran went upstairs, and Yamazaki asked, "How's the incident with the police?"

Conan sighed, briefly explained what happened at Katsutoshi Teraoka's house today, and then said: "Originally, there was another evidence, that is, to investigate the footprints on the ground, although it was a concrete floor, but because of the abandonment, a little dust had accumulated, and the footprints may be able to tell the position." ”

Yamazaki said, "It's late now, and there were so many people walking around it yesterday, so it can be said that it was covered." Moreover, it was windy at the dock, and the dust marks on the concrete floor might not be recognizable at the end of the day. ”

Conan sighed, "yes, I didn't notice it at the time. ”

"Alright, I'll go first. Yamazaki said. ……

Night, Miyamoto family.

When Yamazaki arrived home, he rushed out of the shower, and the phone rang, it was Olivia's, "I heard that Toyosai Bank Japan is going to acquire Hokkaido Takusan Bank and take on debts?"

"Yes, I'm soft-hearted. Miyamoto said, "I'm going to spend this hundred yen, and if they don't agree, I'll give up." ”

"Originally, I wanted to warn you that the Hokkaido Takusan Bank may have gone bankrupt. Olivia laughed, "Now it seems like it's not needed." ”

"Thank you. Miyamoto Miko laughed.

"Then don't bother. Olivia laughed. ……

Night, Maori's bedroom.

Conan had just taken a shower and couldn't sleep for a while, and when he was looking at the ceiling with his arms on his pillow, he suddenly heard a strange dream phrase from the mouth of the sleeping Maori, "It's strange, why do things like to hide there." ”

"Well, Uncle wouldn't have put something weird in the cassette box too. Conan smiled and muttered, "I'm going to have a good look tomorrow." ”……

The next day, Tuesday, July 22, at 6:40 a.m., the Maori Detective Agency.

Maori, Conan, and Lan all got up early today, and now they have come down from breakfast.

Mori reads the morning newspaper while waiting for Mr. Endo to call, Ran cleans up the housework, and Conan is idle in a daze.

Soon after, Conan, remembering Maori's dream, opened the cabinet and began to check the cassette box, picking it up and putting it down.

After a few moments, Lan asked, "Conan, what are you doing?"

Conan glanced at Maori, saw that he wasn't paying attention to this, and laughed quietly, "Sister Lan, Mr. Teraoka actually hid that gun in a videotape in his collection, right?" ”

Mr. Teraoka didn't refute it, so it should be. Lan said, then reacted and asked in a low voice, "Conan, you mean ......?"

Conan laughed quietly, "Sister Lan, you said that Uncle didn't hide something terrible in it." ”

Lan laughed quietly: "At most, it's private money." ”

At this time, Conan picked up another box of straps, felt that the weight was wrong, and smiled in surprise, "No." As he spoke, he took it out.

"Ahh Lan smiled in surprise, "Open it and take a look." ”……
