After the meal, Senjian Descent, Motegi Haruki, Hakuma Detective, and Gunda Ikumi all left, and Senma Descendant sat in Motegi Haruki's car, and Hakuma Detective sat in Gunda Ikumi's car.
Maori also left, and one complained and went alone, and Lan decided not to take the car back, and Conan stayed. β¦β¦
At half past nine in the morning, a police officer named Mito Koichi led a team to take over the Dusk Pavilion, and Okami Zhuzen also left. β¦β¦
At ten o'clock in the morning, Mei Daizi and Yuan Zi got up for breakfast and lunch, and then a heavy shield helicopter came over to put down the rope, Mei Daizi asked Ran and Yuan to hold themselves tightly, Yamazaki grabbed Conan, and together they got on the helicopter along the rope, returned to Rice Flower Square, and then played in Rice Flower Square until more than three o'clock in the afternoon. β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Miyamoto's house, living room.
Mimiko Miyamoto came back from work, and after listening to Yamazaki and Midaiko talk about the Karasuma family, she said, "I already know about the treasure in the morning, and the six major consortia have already sent someone to investigate, and there should be a result soon." As for the piano, I can't give it to her until this is over. β
Yamazaki said: "I think she understands that. β
"Mom, did you think you'd find it?" asked Midaiko.
"I'm not sure about that. Miyamoto Miko smiled, "But don't worry, I won't use your gold to top up." β
"That's good. Mei Daiko smiled. β¦β¦
The next day, Friday, January 5th, morning, Maori Detective Agency.
Ran was cleaning, Conan was helping, and Mori was watching the horse race intently, with no intention of helping at all, and no intention of avoiding the dust, and he didn't care about the resentful eyes that Lan and Conan threw from time to time, of course, whoever placed a bet of 200,000 yen would be like Maori.
However, MΔori's sincerity was not reciprocated, and the bet was lost.
Maori complained: "Really, that's the first bet of the new year, how can I spend this year." β
At this time, the phone rang, and Maori answered the phone and said weakly: "Hey, this is Maori Detective Agency." β
A middle-aged woman's voice, "Mr. Maori, I'm downstairs from your office right now, there's a person, I want to see it anyway, I don't know ...... you"
Maori interrupted, "I'm sorry, I really didn't ......"
"Ahem!" Lan interrupted, waving his duster and looking at Maori viciously.
"Well," Maori blinked, "Well, it doesn't matter if we talk about it, I'm here for you." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lan complained: "Really, it's rare to have a job, Dad, it's okay for you to be serious." β
"What a job. Maori said angrily, "You don't have to think about it, it must be because a friend forgot to notify me when he moved, and the New Year's card sent out was returned, what is there to accept this kind of entrustment." β
"Is that so?" Lan said, and then heard a knock on the door and hurriedly went to open the door, and found that it was a beautiful woman in her thirties, who was stunned for a moment, and Maori's eyes almost popped out when he saw it, and immediately ran into the locker room.
"I'm Chi Bo Jinghua who just called," Chi Bo Jinghua said with a bow, "Please forgive me for suddenly coming to the door and disturbing me." β
"Oh," Lan said quickly, "please come in, please come in." At the same time, he turned sideways to give way to the door.
"I've heard from my friends that if you ask Mr. Maori, you'll be able to find the person you're looking for. Chi Bo Jinghua came in and saluted, "Please help me more." β
"Please don't be polite. Lan returned the salute and said, "Please sit here." He pointed to the couch.
"Thanks, thanks, cough cough......" Chi Bo Jinghua covered her mouth and coughed.
Lan asked, "What's wrong?"
Chi Bo Jinghua covered her mouth and said, "It's rude, I'm just a little allergic to dust." β
"Sorry, we were cleaning up here just now. Lan said, helping Maori cover it up by the way.
At this point, Maori came out of the locker room, "In that case, let's talk in another place." β
Seeing Maori's new appearance, his hair was neatly combed, his beard was cleanly shaved, he was wearing a white dress, and he smelled perfume, Lan puffed up his triangular eyes, and his mother didn't look at him like this when she came to celebrate the New Year.
"I'm Mori Kogoro," Mori grabbed Ikeba Shizuka's hand and grabbed her shoulder, "Come on, let's go to the coffee shop below and sit down." Then he said to Conan, "Don't be stunned, little ghost, go and inform Yamazaki that there is a business." After speaking, he nudged Chi Bo Jinghua and left. β¦β¦
Soon after, Poirot's Cafe.
Yamazaki came over to see Ikeba Jinghua, so he greeted: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Yamazaki, I saw you at that person's ceremony last time. β
Chi Bo Jinghua smiled: "It's you, Happy New Year." β
"You know each other?" asked Maori.
"Yes, but only once. Yamazaki said.
After Yamazaki sat down, the drink that Mori had just ordered came, and as she drank the drink, Ikeba Shizuka told Mori, Yamazaki, Ran, and Conan why she was here.
Ikeba Shizuka said: "I want to find someone, my classmate in junior high school, Shibata Shiro who is also in the same kendo club. β
"Is it a man?" Maori was a little disappointed, it seemed that he was looking for a boyfriend of his first love.
Chi Bo Jinghua took out a photo, "The person holding the trophy in the middle is him." β
Maori looked at it and said, "Uh, this is a picture of you when you were in junior high school?"
"Yes. "This photo was taken when he was in the second year of junior high school. β
Maori asked, "What are your hobbies?"
Chi Bo Jinghua said: "It seems to be the aspect of kendo. β
Maori asked, "No, I'm asking you." β
Chi Bo Jinghua smiled: "I like to knit wool and often knit sweaters. β
Maori smiled, "That's a good interest." β
Lan said: "Mom also knits sweaters with wool. β
Maori asked, "You should be very good at cooking, right?"
"No, not at all," Chi Bo Jinghua raised his hand, "I got it last night, because I didn't hold a kitchen knife for too long, and I accidentally cut it in three places." β
Yamazaki said with a smile in his heart, there are two places that should be scratched during sword practice, as for the ring finger, what posture do you use to cut vegetables to the root of the finger alone?
"That's okay. Maori laughed, "A little bit of a disadvantage is more attractive." β
Lan smiled: "Yes, yes, mom is like this." β
Chi Bo Jinghua said: "I actually have a bunch of shortcomings, so I am a lot older, and I am still single. β
"What!" Maori asked aloud, surprised, "are you still single?"
"Yes, yes. Chi Bo Jinghua was taken aback.
Maori smiled: "A noble and charming lady like you, the men around you are really completely blind." β
Lan sarcastically said, "That said, I really don't know what's wrong with the eyes of the person who left my mother aside." β
"Ahem!" Maori awkwardly changed the subject, "Excuse me, Ms. Jinghua, who are you looking for this Mr. Shibata......"
"I wanted to get a photo from him, and it was the only photo I took when I was the runner-up in the summer competition in my third year of junior high school, and my grandmother accidentally lost the medal by mistake a while ago, so I wanted to keep at least one photo," said Chi Bo. β
Mori asked, "Then why is the photo in Mr. Shibata's?"
"I used that photo as a bookmark, and it ended up in a book I borrowed from him, and then I forgot to take it out and gave it back to him. Chi Bo Jinghua said, "I always thought that I had fallen a long time ago, but I only thought about it by chance in the past two days." β
"I see," Mori was a little happy, "then Mr. Shibata is not your first boyfriend." β
Chi Bo Jinghua smiled: "Of course not. Then he asked, "Mr. Maori, if you can't think of a way for a while, can you borrow the wisdom of that person?"
"That guy?" asked Maori, "who?"
Chi Bo Jinghua said: "The one who often comes and goes in your detective agency, high school detective Kudo Shinichi. ββ¦β¦
