Monday, September 22, evening.

The front page of the evening newspaper carried news about the new prime minister, who abruptly announced his intention to resign on the night of September 1, citing the need to ease the political deadlock.

Since the parties did not win enough seats to support the bill, less than two-thirds of the House of Representatives and less than half of the Senate were originally intended to govern in coalition with the opposition parties, but at the end of last year, the opposition parties did not agree to the coalition, which led to serious political divisions and antagonism, and the promotion of each policy was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Critics believe that the economy is also a reason, he is more unlucky, just in time for the financial crisis, the former prime minister saw that the situation was not good, and the blame fell into his hands, and he was powerless to return to the sky.

Seeing that the situation is decided, instead of waiting to be ousted, it is better to step down automatically and save some face.

……

In the evening, the Maori Detective Agency.

With the support of Conan and Eiyo Hondo, Ran, who was full of displeasure, carried Mori back, and Mori was drunk.

As a man, Hondo Yingyou wanted to help carry Maori, but Lan didn't dare to let him carry it, because he was really worried that he would break Maori.

Although Lan is not happy that Maori drinks, Maori is her father after all.

And when he entered the door, when Lan put down Maori, Hondo Yingyou consciously said goodbye.

Conan grinned in satisfaction, then noticed a message on the phone and released it casually.

It was a call from a variety show group, saying that he wanted to visit Maori tomorrow afternoon to discuss inviting Maori to participate in the performance.

They hope that Maori will call back tomorrow morning, and if Maori does not call back, then they will visit tomorrow afternoon.

"Ha," Lan pouted, "It's too late for Dad to be happy about this kind of thing, and he won't refuse at all, isn't it, Conan?"

"That's right. Conan laughed.

……

Tuesday, September 23rd, afternoon.

Mao Li saw a pair of visitors from the variety show group, and suddenly felt energetic, this man is inconspicuous, not only the woman is very beautiful, but the big beauty is eye-catching.

"Detective Maori, Maiko in Shimokuzumi, this is our president Shogo Somei. ”

"Maori detective, please take care of me. ”

"Ah, please come in, please sit down, please take a seat. ”

"Excuse me. ”

……

After sitting down for tea, Shogo Somei said what happened, the program plan was "24-hour intimate contact with Mori Kogoro", the filming time was this Sunday, and the broadcast time was the prime time of 9 o'clock next Monday night, which will be broadcast on Toto TV.

When talking about the general process, Conan came back from school and put down his schoolbag to listen.

"To be honest, there have been a lot of similar, police-based shows, and the audience is already a little bored, so this time I want to position myself as a private detective. ”

"However, according to the private investigators we interviewed, if they showed their faces or if the investigation methods were made public, it would affect their work, so they all refused. ”

"The most famous person in Tokyo is Mr. Mori, and you have been on TV again, so I think you are the only one who can help us. ”

Maori smiled when he heard it, and the most famous is to say, the most powerful.

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, the most famous? Is this really when Kudo Shinichi disappeared? Damn, when will I change back to my old self?

"The recent economic downturn is related to the life and death of our column group, please be sure to help. ”

President Shogo Somei bowed his head deeply and pleased, and Maiko Kuju also bowed his head and please.

"Well...... Maori pretended to be reserved, "and he decided without asking others if it was inconvenient, and he was followed 24 hours a day......

"Of course, it's not all 24 hours," Shogo Somei said quickly, "and if you say hello when it's inconvenient, we won't shoot." ”

Maiko Kuzumi said: "The editing is complete, and you will be asked to check before playing, if you are not satisfied, we will correct it immediately, and the original tape will be returned to you, ensuring that no image will be left for other purposes, affecting your image." ”

"That's right. Maori smacked his lips and said that what he actually wanted to hear was not this, it was the cost, and the appearance fee was the key.

Conan saw it, and thought that what they just said was that they had come after going to other detectives, and immediately understood that they were short of funds, so they would come to Maori again, no, a famous detective, after there was no way.

"This uncle, Uncle Maori is waiting to hear from you about the appearance fee. Conan smirked and debunked Maori's old roots, waiting for Maori to reject them because the column team had no money.

Maori glared at Conan, but he didn't get angry, because Conan was to the point.

"Ah, that," Shogo Somei said ashamedly, "Don't hide it from the Maori detectives, to be honest, our company has limited funds, so I didn't want to look for you, but in the end, I couldn't help it." ”

Maori's face was so disgruntled that he said, "Now, you don't want me to help for free, do you?"

"No, no, how is that possible?" President Shogo Somei hurriedly waved his hand, and then asked tentatively, "I just want to pay in installments, I don't know your ......"

"Huh?" Maori was stunned.

At this time, Lan came back, looked at the guests, did not speak loudly, and stood aside lightly.

"By the way, Mr. Maori, look at this. Maiko Kuzumi pointed to one item in the plan, "We have actually made an appointment with Miss Yoko Okino. ”

"Miss Yoko?" Mori's eyes lit up.

Conan covered his head and forgot about this one, as long as there was Yoko Okino, he was willing to let Maori pay for it.

Conan didn't see it, President Shogo Somei looked at Maiko Kuzumi beside him, and stopped talking, and Maiko Kuzu still looked at him, signaling him to be at ease.

Lan saw it and looked at the two of them carefully.

Maiko Kuzumi continued with a smile, "Detective Maori, we intend to facilitate a simple working meal between you and Yoko Okino, which will last about an hour. ”

"Dinner with Miss Yoko?" Mori jumped for joy, "it, as long as there is Miss Yoko, it's no problem to pay in installments or something." ”

Lan simply turned his head away from looking, which was too ugly.

"Ah, by the way, is that okay?" Conan continued to make trouble, "Uncle Maori hasn't had any commissions lately, listening to live horse racing on the radio during the day, drinking beer and watching TV dramas, going to a bar and playing mahjong at night, or going to a pachinko shop...... Woo......"

In the end, Conan's mouth was covered by Maori who came over, and at the same time he saw Maori's vicious face, but Conan was not afraid at all, but was very proud, and it should be no fun now.

"How so?" said Shogo Somei, surprised, "Is that so?"

"Ah, that, just occasionally, occasionally, occasionally. Maori turned his head and pulled out a smile on his face, smiling rather fakely.

"Ah, President, why don't we prepare," Maiko Kuju suggested, "Ask the staff, maybe there will be some interesting events or annoyances, or simply design some unsolved murders or something......"

Maori happily sat back on the couch, and if that was the case, it would be great.

Conan is in a bad mood, that's too fake, the current variety show, it's really!

"No, if you know that it was commissioned by the staff, you will be suspected of fraud, and it will damage the reputation of the Māori detective, let alone the design of the murder, Māori detective, you think so too, right?"

President Shogo Somei's stern words suddenly made Mori and Conan change their minds.

"No, that's right," Maori said in a hutter, "but if there is really no incident, it is not impossible, since I have taken your commission, I will do it, right?"

President Shogo Somei said firmly, "Thank you Detective Maori for your understanding, please rest assured, I will help you find a suitable event." ”

Maiko Kuzumi reminded, "President, there's no time for anything like that. ”

President Shogo Somei said, "Don't worry, you can find the police or other detectives. ”

"Yes, yes? Please. Maori actually wanted to cry, and Conan couldn't stop laughing, and when Maori didn't do well, he would lose the title of detective.

"You're welcome, that's what we should do. ”

President Shogo Somei looked at his watch, and Maiko Kuzumi also looked at his watch.

Lan Zao noticed the same style of watch, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Now, this is a couple's watch, right?"

"Huh?"

President Shogo Somei and Maiko Kuzumi were embarrassed to squeeze out the little bean eye at the same time.

President Shogo Somei explained, "No, it's not, this watch was a gift from me on my birthday. ”

Maiko Kuzumi was a little ashamed, "Because the style is very beautiful, I bought one for myself by the way." ”

President Shogo Somei explained, "She has taken good care of me since the establishment of the club and feels like me...... Uh......"

President Shogo Somei couldn't go on, and picked up the teacup, the more he explained, the more he explained, the more he couldn't explain it.

Maiko Kuju was also embarrassed to pick up the teacup, because the meaning of the words was obvious, girlfriend or something.

Coincidentally, both of them used tea to cover up, and then found that the other party was doing the same thing, and choked together.

"You really have a tacit understanding. "Lan is very happy.

"Ahem," President Shogo Somei diverted the subject, "Well, well, since Detective Maori said yes, I would like to ask you to leave time from this Friday afternoon, and we'll contact you at a specific time." ”

"No problem," Maori questioned, "but there must be Miss Yoko, and you don't lie to me." ”

"Definitely, there must be, don't worry. Maiko Kuzumi hurriedly said, "Then we'll take our leave first." ”

"Please. Maori got up to see off the guests.

……

Downstairs, in the car.

President Shogo Somei questioned Maiko Kuzumi, "What are you talking about, we didn't have an appointment with Miss Yoko Okino at all!"

"It's not too late to make an appointment. Maiko Kuzumi smiled, "If it's a Maori detective, Miss Yoko Okino will definitely find time." ”

"Well," Shogo Somei, the president, laughed with relief, "It's a lot of cunning, but it's a good idea." With that, he started the car and left.

"As for whether it's an hour or not, whether it's eating together, it depends on Miss Yoko Okino's schedule, in short, anything is possible. Maiko Kuzumi said with a smile, "With Detective Mori and Miss Yoko Okino, this show will definitely have high ratings." ”

"But," thought President Shogo Somei, "what about Miss Yoko Okino's appearance fee?"

"It's also an installment payment, and Miss Yoko Okino should be able to understand our troubles. Maiko Kuzumi said, then pointed to the billboard on the street, "If it really doesn't work, I'll go there." ”

"Maiko, you can't do that. President Shogo Somei was taken aback when he saw it, because it was a loan billboard of Takei Financial Company, and Maiko Kuju meant to borrow usurious debts.

"It's okay, it's still on within a month, and I'm sure the two celebrities, Detective Mori and Miss Yoko Okino, will bring high ratings to our show. Maiko Kuzumi said lightly, but there was still some heaviness in her tone.

President Shogo Somei was silent, and he stopped talking, things are not as simple as Maiko Kuzumi thinks, there are some things that he has been hiding from Maiko Kuzumi and not saying.
