Chapter 0726: The Results of the Old Bungalow
On Thursday, August 12th, before noon, on the way back, Dr. Asasa was in his car.
In the back seat, Ayumi opened a toy box and found that it was a puppet, so she put it on her hand. Mitsuhiko was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, "Ah, no, I forgot, I helped you register for the children's association in the town, and there will be a training camp in the afternoon." β
"Huh?" Conan was taken aback.
"That's right," Mitsuhiko said, "Brother Umibe, a college student next door to my house, volunteers at the children's club in the town, and there is an event at the Children's Club on the 15th, but there is a program where the number of team members is not enough, and Brother Umibe came to me yesterday and wants to ask for help from our junior detective group." β
Yuan Tai asked, "What program?"
"It's a puppet show," Mitsuhiko laughs, "Agatha Christine's masterpiece 'And Then Everyone Disappeared.'" β
Ayumi asked, "What's that?"
"It's a detective drama. Conan laughed, "It's a story about people who were trapped on an island, and they were killed one by one." β
"Seems interesting. Yuan Tai said.
Mitsuhiko smiled: "Brother Kaibe also said that tomorrow he will take us to the Asagiri Plateau in Shizuoka Prefecture for training, where you can see the famous 'reverse Fuji' in Lake Tanuki." β
"Really? That's great, I agree. Ayumi smiled happily, "We saw Mt. Fuji from the plane last time, and this time we ...... from the lake."
"Then I agree. Yuan Tai laughed.
"I'm not going. Conan said.
"Me too, don't look for me. Gray Yuan said.
"But," Mitsuhiko said, "I've already promised Brother Kaibe." β
"Oh well. Conan reluctantly looked back and said, "Count me in." β
"That's great. Ayumi asked happily, "What about Ashbara-san?"
"I'm not going. Gray Yuan said without looking back, "You promised the matter, you find a way to solve it yourself, maybe this can teach you not to promise things for others." β
"Huh? Mitsuhiko said with a bitter face.
"Hey, hey, he's a kid, needless to say. Conan whispered to Grayplain.
"Are you a child, too?" asked Gray Hara.
"Relax once in a while. Conan puffed up his triangular eyes.
"Aren't I relaxing right now?" Gray Yuan rolled his eyes, "I'm not as idle as you." β
"Xiao Ai really doesn't have much time lately, she's doing an experiment, and she has to take care of the mice every day. Dr. Asasa whispered, "Each of those guinea pigs is worth hundreds of thousands of yen, and if you miss something, you will lose a lot." β
"Don't explain it to this guy. Gray Yuan said angrily.
"Well, I was wrong. Conan smiled bitterly, then turned back to Mitsuhiko and said, "Otherwise, let's find a classmate, as well as Ninety-Nine Fumino-san from the outer class, Koya Okano, etc." β
"Ninety-nine?" Ayumi objected, "No, absolutely not." Then he asked, "Conan, why do you have to find Ninety-Nine Bunna?"
"Casually, casually, I just said it casually. Conan's sweat fell, making Gray Yuan laugh.
"That's good. When I got back, I called my classmates and pulled a classmate over. Mitsuhiko laughed. β¦β¦
Noon, Maori Detective Agency.
Eating lunch, Conan told Lan that he had participated in the town children's club program and was going to the Asagiri Plateau for training tomorrow.
"Asagiri Plateau? Then you have to be careful, and you must lock the doors and windows at night. "The morning news said that the decorations from a high-end holiday villa in Asagiri Highlands were missing, and the police speculated that there had been a robbery incident that broke into the door last night. β
"Huh?" Lan was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Conan, you still don't want to go." β
"It's okay, Sister Lan, it's just a robber who broke into the empty door, just lock the doors and windows as Uncle said, and he must have run away by now. Conan laughed, thinking to himself that it would be better if he bumped into it.
"That's just as well. Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon after, Conan finished his meal and left.
A moment later, Yamazaki came over, "Midaiko just received a call from Dr. Asai just now, Okuda Tsuyoaki is awake and can talk to people, are you going to Lan?"
"Okay, I'll go too. Lan asked, "But just the two of us?"
"I've informed Dr. Asasa and he'll be there shortly. Yamazaki said, "Midaiko is calling Sonoko, she should come." β
"I see. Lan laughed.
After that, Yamazaki asked Mori what he meant, and Mori said that he could just read Yamazaki's report. β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Good Mood General Hospital, Okuda Lunming Ward.
When Dr. Agasa and the five arrived, Okuda was watching his hands in a trance.
"Ahem!" Dr. Asa knocked on the door.
Okuda Lunming came back to his senses and looked at the five people, "You are, those people from yesterday, thank you for sending me over." β
"Mr. Takaki Okuda, I'm Dr. Agasa, a relative of the owner of that villa. Dr. Asasa said, then asked, "Mr. Okuda, could you please tell us why you are there?"
Mei Daiko smiled: "It's better to start from the beginning." β
Okuda Lunming thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then I'll tell you." Then he recalled, "I was from Hiroshima, and my brother and I were studying at university in another place at the time of the accident. Then he said hatefully, "I hate it, I hate America." Then he took two breaths, calmed down, and recalled, "My family is a carving heirloom, I have no talent, and I can't endure hardship, so my skills are not refined." But my brother and I are different, one day, I thought of using fake bills to disrupt the financial order in the United States, my brother agreed, so he made a twenty dollar template, but when it was about to start, my brother disappeared with the template. I searched, searched, searched but didn't find it, during this period I suffered a lot of lack of money, slowly, I don't know when, revenge turned into wealth. It wasn't until five years ago that I received a letter from my brother, and I found it by the address, and when I met him, I realized that the reason why I couldn't find my brother was because he didn't even have a household registration. I thought I could get the template now, but my brother disappeared the next day, and I heard from people in the neighborhood that my brother was working as a painting teacher there, and I thought that my brother would definitely come back, so I rented a house nearby, and waited for my brother while doing some small business. As a result, the wait was five years, and when you asked the convenience store owner about my brother's situation, he called me and told me, and I went to look for you. β
"I see. Dr. Asasa said.
Okuda said, "It's time for you to speak. β
"I also learned about Okuda's artist in the past two days. "Painter Okuda is a friend of my uncle and aunt, and they left the villa for him to hide after they knew he was hiding from you. β
Okuda Lunming said: "Do you know why he is hiding from me?"
"Well," said Dr. Agasa, "Artist Okuda didn't want you to go down the path of crime, and he didn't want to expose you, so he didn't ask you to come to you until he knew that the template he had was useless." β
"HaraγThat's how it was. Okuda Lunming said, and then muttered to himself, "But, why don't you tell me directly, thirty years, I have been looking for you for thirty years." β
"Ahem!" said Yamazaki, "I beg your pardon for being too talkative, but may I ask, Mr. Okuda, where did Artist Okuda's letter go?"
"My family, no, our family, no, my brother's family. Okuda said, "I'm ashamed to say that the house was transferred to me by my brother." Then he recalled, "I abandoned my studies, and then came to Tokyo to join my brother, who transferred the house to my name before leaving. Then he came back to his senses, "Why are you asking this?"
Yamazaki said: "Maybe your brother has been keeping an eye on you, and your previous state is obviously not convincing by words. β
"Maybe. Okuda was silent for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, you guys, do you know where my brother is?"
"I'm sorry. Dr. Asasa said, "Artist Okuda has passed away. β
"What!" Okuda was taken aback.
"Your brother was not hiding from you, but because of a heart attack, he died the night you met, in the attic. Yamazaki said, "Maybe it's because my wish is coming, and I'm a little excited for a while." As he spoke, he put Okuda's suitcase on the hospital bed, "This is Okuda's relic, and your pistol is in it." β
"Pistol?" Sonoko was taken aback, then watched Okuda Lunming stretch out his trembling hand and press it on the suitcase in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Give him the pistol, will he ......" said and put his finger on his temple, making a suicidal gesture.
"No," Midaiko whispered, "I've disassembled the pistol into parts, and the key parts have been sharpened so that I can't assemble them." β
"That's good. Lan patted his heart and whispered.
Yamazaki whispered, "Okay, let's go, there's nothing to see down there, let Dr. Asa accompany him here and wait for the lawyer." β
After that, the four of Yamazaki left the ward amid the cry of Okuda Takaki. β¦β¦
Shortly after leaving the hospital, the mobile phone of the garden rang, it was Kyogoku really, the garden happily answered the phone, and then heard that the injury was healed, and he wanted to find Mei Daizi, and he was immediately discouraged, and then sent the mobile phone to Mei Daizi, and said angrily: "You hurry up and solve the matter for me." β
"It doesn't seem like it's my fault. Mei Daiko smiled.
"I said yes, yes. Yuan Zi said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, okay. Mei Daizi said helplessly, and then answered the phone, "I'm Mei Daizi, where are you?"
Kyogoku said, "I just came down from Mt. Fuji, and I'm on the side of Fujinomiya now. β
"Fujinomiya?" said Midaiko, "this ......"
"Wait," Lan said, "Conan, they're going to the Asagiri Plateau, where there has just been a robbery incident, and I'm really not worried, so why don't we go too." β
"Ha, you really care about your little ghost. Yuan Zi smiled.
"Then you don't have to. Lan sneered.
"No," the garden smiled, "I agree, so it's settled." β
"Alright," Midaiko said on her mobile phone, "you're waiting in the Asagiri Plateau, and I'll call you then." β
"No problem. Kyogoku said excitedly, "That's it." β
"Okay. Mei Daiko said.
"Hey, hey, tell him not to hang up. The garden said.
"He's hung up. Mei Daiko gave her mobile phone to Sonoko.
Yuan Zi took the mobile phone and looked at it, and sure enough, he was hung up, "Really." β
Yamazaki asked, "Is that what he usually does?"
"I know what you're trying to say," said the gardener very helplessly, "but this is the first time we've spoken on the phone. β
"Ah, isn't it?" asked Midaiko.
"Really?" Lan asked rhetorically.
"I'm so embarrassed to call him. Yuan Zi said with a little blush, and then said to Mei Daizi, "Who knew that it was actually looking for you." β
"This has nothing to do with me, okay. Mei Daizi said helplessly.
"I don't care, anyway, Meidaizi, you have to compensate me. Yuan Zi smiled, "I haven't thought about what to lose, just a favor, and I'll talk about it later." β
"Hey, I haven't said yes yet. Mei Daizi said angrily.
"It's okay, I'll be Mei Daizi and you agreed. Yuan Zi smiled, "That's it." β
"......" Midako was speechless, and Yamazaki and Ran couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, I'm in a much better mood. Yuan Zi smiled, "Let's go, go shopping, I haven't been here for a long time." Then he asked, "Midaiko, do you have any recommendations?"
"You don't know that the only big shops here are the shopping mall in the Hibe Building, and the shopping street on both sides of the intersection between the Good Mood Station and the Hibe Building, and the others are convenience stores. Mei Daiko said.
Lan smiled: "Then let's go to the central square of the crossroads, where there is an ice cream food event in the summer." β
"I almost forgot," said the gardener, smiling, "all right, let's go there, go!" ......
In the afternoon, Miyamoto's house, living room.
When Mimiko Miyamoto came back, Yamazaki briefly talked about the events of the past two days.
Midaiko asked, "Mom, can we buy Uncle Agasa's house and the land next to it?"
"Why?" Miyakoto said with a smile, "If there is a reason, you can consider it." β
"Yes. "It's just a forest of trees, so it's good to build a paintball range, or tear it down and build a horse farm." And it's close to the leisure center of the good mood, so you can connect it together. β
"Not sufficient. Mimiko Miyamoto smiled and asked, "Anything else?"
"And another," said Midaiko, "so that Uncle Agasa's old bungalow could be rebuilt in its place, and it would live for a few more decades, and it would need a holiday villa anyway." β
"Yes. Ichiro Miyamoto nodded and said.
"Since Ichiro has all nodded, then there is no reason why I should not agree. Miyako Miyamoto smiled, "Let's do it." β
"Great. Mei Daizi smiled happily, "Thank you Dad, thank you Mom." β
"Let me ask you, what if I get old again?" Miyakoto asked.
"Well," Mei Daiko said after a moment's thought, "I'll talk about it then, and if it's simple and convenient, it's okay to build it." β
"Good answer. Mimiko Miyamoto smiled, then looked at the time, and smiled at Ichiro Miyamoto, "It's not early, let's have dinner." β
"Good. Ichiro Miyamoto said. β¦β¦
A few days later, Okuda completed the formalities and obtained the inheritance of Okuda, and after crying and breaking his spirits, he has been recuperating in the hospital for more than a year, during which time he was informed that the family's old house was about to reach its end, so he converted it into a rental apartment. β¦β¦
Soon after, Dr. Agasa's uncle's old bungalow and the surrounding land were bought by Pleasant Mood.
The land was later developed as a recreational horse farm and was subsumed under the Mood Recreation Center, whose main facilities were a golf course and a shooting range.
After the old bungalow was rebuilt, Dr. Asasa put the oil painting of his uncle and aunt in the living room, and took a self-portrait of his brother Okuda from his young age from Takaki Okuda and placed it next to the painting. β¦β¦
The next day, Friday, August 13, in the morning, Hajime Kaibe drove ten children, including Conan, Motota, and their classmates, to the Asagiri Plateau. β¦β¦
