Chapter 0241 - Only Someone's Entrustment
Wednesday, September 4, Shui Yao Day.
At night, Maori was very annoyed and a little discouraged because of the imminent bonus and the negative news in the newspaper, so after returning from work at Meidai Restaurant, he did not go upstairs, but drank at the Maori Detective Agency.
It was almost eleven o'clock when the phone rang suddenly. Mori picked up the phone, it was a consignment call, and he was sorry that the client had to call the office so late to ask for help because of an urgent matter.
Soon after, after listening to the commission, Maori hung up the phone with great joy and went upstairs humming a little song. This surprised Lan, who had just taken a shower and came downstairs to call Maori to take a shower.
"I just took a commission," Maori smiled when he saw Lan, "You talk to your Aunt Miko tomorrow, and I won't be there for the next few nights." Then he added, "By the way, I'll only come back at night, you don't have to cook for me, just remember to leave the door." ”
Lan smiled, "I see, Dad." ”
"Also, you tell Yamazaki again, and ask him to go to the detective agency if he's okay after school. And ask him to turn on his mobile phone, and I might ask him for help. Maori said, "I'm going out early tomorrow morning, and I won't be able to touch him." ”
"Okay, Dad," Ran said, "I'll tell Yamazaki." ”……
Thursday, September 5th, Muyao Day.
In the afternoon, at about three o'clock, Conan, who had nothing to do, shook to Dr. Asasa's house, and was taken by Dr. Asa to the underground laboratory that had been almost done.
Pointing to this laboratory of nearly 500 square meters, with all four walls and supporting columns glowing with silver-white metallic luster, Dr. Asa smiled and asked, "How is it, Conan, my laboratory is good, right?"
"Very well," asked Conan, "but is it okay to completely hollow out your house, including the courtyard?"
"This is through my original small underground laboratory, which is strictly the second basement floor, and the construction staff have adjusted the pipes and wiring, and they said that I can use it with confidence. Dr. Asa laughs, "I'm just worried about one problem right now, that is, I won't be able to afford those devices in the future." ”
Looking at the empty laboratory, Conan said, "Indeed, if you have a lot of equipment, your monthly electricity bill will be enough. ”
"yes. Dr. Asasa sighed, "What a happy trouble." Then he asked, "By the way, how is the Maori detective now, and has you made up enough money?"
"No," Conan laughed, "didn't you read the newspaper? ”
"Hey, aren't the Maori detectives famous?" Dr. Asa asked, "Aren't there any businesses coming to the door?"
"No, the Maori Detective Agency hasn't had any commissions for a month. Conan said, then sighed, "Well, after Uncle Maori became a detective, I thought that the number of incidents entrusted to him would increase, and the information of those men in black would be easier to obtain, but now that it's like this, when will I be able to get clues about those guys?" ”
Dr. Asa asked, "Didn't you say that Yamazaki had a clue about the incident of the last interception? Why haven't you come here yet?"
"Don't mention it, that guy Yamazaki, you have to pay 10 million yen before you tell me the name of that guy, and you don't allow me to take credit. Conan asked, "Why don't you, Doctor, lend me first?"
"I can give you 10,000 yen. Dr. Asa laughed, "You'd better wait for your parents to come to you, I heard that your father's new book is selling well, and 10 million yen is a small amount for him." ”
"They don't know where they're going, they don't even know how to go," Conan said helplessly, "I don't know when I'm going to wait." ”
"Take your time, there's always a time when the black-clad organization comes out, and your parents come home," Dr. Asa asked with a smile, "Isn't waiting also a necessary ability for a detective?"
"Hey, I can only wait slowly. Looking at his watch, Conan said, "Okay, it's not early, you slowly worry about your electricity bill, I'll go back." ”……
In the afternoon, the Maori Detective Agency.
Yamazaki listened to Ran's message and stayed here after school. Ran attends an event at her karate club, Midaiko goes home for afternoon porridge, Conan is not there, and Yamazaki is the only one here.
It was almost four o'clock when the doorbell rang suddenly. It's really interesting that business is coming again, Yamazaki thought as he got up and opened the door.
It was a beautiful young woman, and after Yamazaki invited her to sit down on the sofa, he went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. At the same time, I thought to myself, this face is calm and determined, this is a guy who is open-minded.
Finding that Yamazaki was alone, the woman asked, "This gentleman, may I ask Mr. Mori......"
"My name is Yamazaki," Yamazaki introduced himself, "and I'm an assistant to the Maori detectives." Then he said, "The Maori detective is doing another commission outside, you can tell me if you have any commission, of course, if it is very urgent and only want to find the commission of the Maori detective, then our Maori detective agency can only say, I'm sorry, let you run in vain." ”
"Well," the woman said after a moment's thought, "my name is Noriko Okaya." Then he said, "I'm here today mainly to investigate where Kitagawa lives with this person. ”
"Is it just an address?" asked Yamazaki after the record was recorded, "So, can I ask if you know his contact information?" At the same time, he thought to himself, this dangerous feeling, this young lady has murderous intentions towards Kitagawa Qiangshi.
"I don't know. Noriko Okayani shook her head and said.
Yamazaki asked, "So, do you have any other clues?"
"Yes," said Noriko Okaya, "I have his license plate number and a portrait of him." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and gave it to Yamazaki with a license plate number and a portrait.
It's hard to see, but there's no revision, and the features are drawn, and it seems that after the final draft, I drew it very seriously. Yamazaki asked, "Miss Okaya, with all due respect, you don't know how to draw, do you?" Then why didn't you ask someone to draw it? And there is only the license plate number and appearance, you met by chance, isn't it?"
"This," Noriko Okayatani said unconsciously stirring her fingers, "I'm embarrassed to find someone, to be honest, I met him when I went on a trip half a year ago, and I didn't really have any feelings for him at that time, but I had a feeling of wanting to see him very much for a while." ”
"I only met him once half a year ago?" asked Yamazaki, "So, Miss Okaya, do you need our Maori detective agency to investigate other circumstances about this Mr. Kitagawa Takaki, such as the marital status of the person you are dating with, the physical condition, the professional income, the bad habits, the rules of going in and out, the life experience, the family situation, the family background, and so on?" ”
"No thanks, Mr. Yamazaki. Noriko Okayani smiled, "I want to discover these things by myself." ”
"Well," Yamazaki asked with a smile, "Then may I ask Miss Okaya, when do you want Mr. Kitagawa's address?" At the same time, he thought to himself, if he has murderous intentions about that guy, he only needs his address and nothing else, this is to seek revenge.
Noriko Okayani said, "Of course, the sooner the better. ”
"If Mr. Kitagawa hadn't changed his car for half a year, he would have known where he lived within an hour," Yamazaki said, "but the commission fee was 100,000 yen." ”
"No problem. As she spoke, Noriko Okayani took out her wallet and counted 100,000 yuan and put it on the table.
Yamazaki asked, "Can you ask, Miss Okaya, what kind of work do you do?"
"I used to work for a foreign trade company," said Noriko Okaya, "and now I'm quitting." ”
Yamazaki asked again, "Miss Okaya, can you tell me why you resigned?"
"Because I had an illness, I wanted to take advantage of this time to recover my body. Noriko Okayani said.
"I see. Yamazaki smiled and continued, "Please wait a minute, and fill out this request form by the way." As he spoke, he handed over the form he had filled out in his hand. Then he got up with the pen and sat down behind the desk, picked up the phone and called home, and it was Mei Daiko who answered.
"Midaiko, it's me," Yamazaki said, "You have Officer Miyamoto's mobile phone number, report it." I have a commission here and would like to ask her for a favor. ”
"Sister Yumi?" said Midaiko, "Brother, you wait a while. With that, he put down the phone and left, and soon after he came back and picked up the phone and reported Yumi Miyamoto's mobile phone to Yamazaki, and then asked, "Brother, are you still coming back for dinner?"
"Well," Yamazaki laughed, thinking that he would have to track down this Noriko Okaya later, "so that mom doesn't have to do it for me." ”
"Very well," said Midaiko, and then added, "Come back early, brother." ”
"I will. Yamazaki said and hung up the phone. Then, according to the number I just wrote down, I contacted Yumi Miyamoto.
"Officer Yumi, I'm Yamazaki, Midaiko's older brother. Yamazaki said, "I want to ask you for a favor, okay?"
"Midaiko's brother Yamazaki?" After thinking for a moment, remembering that they met during the last kidnapping incident in Rice Flower Town, Miyamoto Yumi asked, "What is it?"
"That's right, I'm working as an assistant to the Maori detectives, and I'm talking to you on the phone at the Maori detective agency, and I've just received a request to find someone," Yamazaki said, "but I only know the name and license plate number, so the U.S. police officer ......."
"Detective Maori, that's the detective, the sleeping Kogoro, right?" asked Yumi Miyamoto with a smile, "Where has he been?"
"The Maori detective went out because of other commissions. Yamazaki laughed.
"That's right. Yumi Miyamoto asked again, "By the way, I remember that you are not yet an adult, and your signature does not count, how can this help the Maori detective take the commission?"
"The client is waiting nearby," Yamazaki laughs, "and the signature is empty." Then he asked, "How about a 50,000 yen dinner for a fixed price, Officer Yumi?" ”
"Deal. Yumi Miyamoto said with a smile.
Yamazaki said: "The person I am looking for is called Kitagawa Takosaki, the license plate number is half a year ago, and the client wants to know where he lives now." As he spoke, he reported the license plate number of Kitagawa Takshi to Yumi Miyamoto.
"I know, as long as he's still in Tokyo, I'll ask someone to help confirm it. Miyamoto Yumi smiled, "You wait for me at the Mihua Police Station, and you will be there within half an hour." With that, he hung up the phone.
Noriko Okayani asked, "Just now, it was the police?"
"From the Metropolitan Police Department's Department of Transportation," Yamazaki asked with a smile, "It's the quickest and most straightforward way, isn't it?"
"Looks like I've come to the right place. Noriko Okayani laughed.
"Of course. Yamazaki smiled, "Then, Miss Okaya, bring 50,000 yen and let's go to the rice flower shopping street first." ”
"Okay. Noriko Okayani said and took back 50,000 yen from the table.
At this point, Conan shouted "I'm back!" and pushed the door in. Then I was stunned to see that there were only Yamazaki and a young woman inside.
Yamazaki said, "Conan, you've come just in time. As he spoke, he picked up Conan, who was blocked at the door, and put it aside, and let Noriko Okayani go first, "There's no one at home, so you can come along." Then he followed Noriko Okayani downstairs.
"No one at home?" Conan looked at it, and sure enough, there was no one, so he immediately threw down his schoolbag and went downstairs to catch up with Yamazaki.
Conan asked, "What about Brother Yamazaki, Sister Ran, and Uncle Maori?"
"Ran is participating in club activities," Yamazaki said, "and Uncle Maori has gone to do another commission." ”
"So there are two commissions in a row?" Looking at Noriko Okayani, who was walking in front, Conan asked in a low voice, "What kind of commission?"
"I don't know," Yamazaki said, "this should be the first one." ”
Conan was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "What is she trying to entrust?"
"Looking for someone, but only knowing the name and license plate number. "So I asked Officer Yumi from the Traffic Division of the Department of Transportation to help me." ”
"Yuu, Yumi?" Conan unconsciously shrank his neck at the thought of the beautiful female police officer who wanted to confiscate the solar skateboard. ……
At the Rice Flower Shopping Street Management Office, Yamazaki asked Noriko Okaya to exchange 50,000 yen for a voucher for the shopping street, and then turned around and walked to the Rice Flower Police Station.
"Brother Yamazaki," Conan asked strangely, "what are you doing here?"
"Please eat," Yamazaki said with a smile, "and that's a PR expense." ”
Conan asked in a whisper, "How much did you charge for the commission?"
"100,000 yen," Yamazaki whispered, "and 50,000 yen in the office." ”
"Generally speaking, the cost of finding someone is only 20,000 yen. Conan whispered.
She said the sooner the better. Yamazaki laughed.
"You're amazing. Conan was speechless.
Outside the Rice Flower Police Station, Officer Yumi Miyamoto had not yet arrived when Yamazaki, Conan, and Noriko Okayani arrived.
After waiting for a while, a police car drove up and the American police officer got out of it.
"Hello, Officer Yumi. This is Conan, you already know it. Yamazaki introduced, "This is the client of the firm, Miss Noriko Okaya. ”
After greeting each other, Officer Yumi smiled and said, "Yamazaki, let's go in and talk." After that, he went to the police station first.
After Officer Yumi entered, she went straight to the office, and several police officers inside saw Officer Yumi greet her one by one.
After greeting them, Officer Yumi found Takagi patrolling on a desk.
"Takagi, I heard that you are very unenergetic because you haven't been there. It seems to be true," Officer Yumi laughed, "what a poor fellow." ”
"Officer Yumi," Inspector Takagi looked up and smiled wryly, "you're here to make fun of me, too." ”
"Alright, alright, cheer up," Officer Yumi said with a smile, "Someone has a treat today, and we'll go to dinner together after work later." ”
"Eat?" Takagi said with a bitter face, "I'm not going." ”
"I'll tell you," Officer Yumi whispered in Inspector Takagi's ear, "and I called Miwako." ”
"This ......" Takagi Patrol immediately came to his senses.
"Chiba," Officer Yumi said to Inspector Chiba, who was sitting next to Inspector Takagi, "you can come with you after work." ”
"Thank you, Officer Yumi. Officer Chiba laughed.
"Okay, Yamazaki, this is what you want, Mr. Kitagawa Tashiki's current address. This guy actually moved once, and he hasn't registered yet, so it's easy for me to find it. "I've asked someone to confirm that his car is parked there right now, but I don't know if I'm not there." After saying that, he handed a piece of paper to Yamazaki.
"The voucher for the rice flower commercial street, I can't drink, so I won't accompany you, you guys have a good meal." Yamazaki said, reaching out and taking the voucher from Noriko Okaya's hand and handing it to Officer Yumi.
Officer Yumei handed it over to Takagi for inspection, "I'll leave it to you, find someone with a song hall." ”
Inspector Takagi asked in surprise, "What are you ......?"
"I'll ask Officer Yumi to investigate something," Yamazaki asked with a smile, "As a thank you, treat her to a meal, is it okay?"
After thinking for a moment, Takagi said, "That's fine. ”
"Inspector Takagi, didn't you say you were promoted, did you? How did you fail the exam this time?" Yamazaki asked with a smile, "Didn't you say you were going to stick to the apartment?"
"Poof!" Officer Yumi, Inspector Chiba, and the other cops immediately burst out laughing, and Inspector Takagi fell back on his desk.
"Takagi did stay in the apartment," Officer Yumi laughed, "and he didn't go to the exam." ”
Yamazaki and Conan, and even Noriko Okayani laughed together.
Yamazaki smiled and asked, "So even the apartment was captured?"
"yes," Inspector Chiba laughed, "the smell of alcohol in a room, it's been days, and I can still smell it." ”
"As you can imagine, it was a terrible battle. Yamazaki smiled, and then said to the dejected Inspector Takagi, "Inspector Takagi, next time you spend some money to find a big hotel to hide." ”
"Huh?" Takagi perked up, "By the way, why didn't I think of that." ”
"Okay," Yamazaki laughed, "help me see where this is and how to get there." As he spoke, he handed over the address given by Officer Yumi to Takagi for inspection.
At this time, Officer Yumi's communicator rang, and Officer Yumi said, "That's it, I'll go first." Takagi, Chiba, I'll come back to you later. Thank you, Yamazaki. With that, he left.
Inspector Takagi quickly found the address of Kitagawa Takeshi on the map and marked the route.
After Yamazaki thanked him, he returned to the Maori Detective Agency with Noriko Okayani and Conan. ……
