Monday, October 3, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Maori invited "Big Nose" into the house, but when he wanted to serve tea to guests, "Big Nose" stopped him.

"Don't bother, Detective Maori, let me introduce myself first, my name is Kenzo Akatsuka, I am the housekeeper of the Guoyou family, my lord Mr. Chunda, I hope you can take a trip to the house, the car is downstairs. ”

Maori blinked in a daze, "What kind of commission is it?"

"Oh, it's your deposit. Kenzo Akatsuka took out a check, 100,000 yen.

"God is mysterious, it won't be a good thing to look at it, don't go. "Mori didn't take over, and the last time I went to Isegawa's house, I didn't get any benefits.

Kenzo Akatsuka took out another check for 200,000 yen, "So what?"

Maori rolled out a pair of money eyes, "Ah, no problem, let's go, please." ”

Maori waved and took the check by the way. ……

However, Mori went downstairs and met Conan, Ran, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko who came back from school.

Lan asked, "Dad, what are you ......?"

Maori said, "Well, I'm going to go out, Yamazaki, if you're okay, come over." Then he said to Kenzo Akatsuka, "This is an intern at my office. ”

"Yes, uncle. Yamazaki replied, and then gave the schoolbag to Mei Daiko, "Help bring it and talk to Mom and Dad." ”

"Got it. Mei Daizi was a little unhappy, and now she went to work alone.

"Ah, I'm going to play too......" Conan was tickled, under the banner of playing, wanting to see what the incident was, and at the same time glancing at Yamazaki.

"Alright, Conan, stop making trouble. Lan said.

Yamazaki laughed and said, "Uncle, let him come." ”

Mori looked at Kenzo Akatsuka, and Kenzo Akatsuka agreed, so Conan joined, and Lian Lan joined in.

The driver was a weak-looking young man who claimed to be Mianyin Shisheng.

Kenzo Akatsuka's butler sat in the passenger seat, and Yamazaki, Mori, and Ran, who was holding Conan, sat in the back.

When the car was on the road, Maori asked angrily: "Okay, Butler Akatsuka, now you can say, where are you looking for me to go and what are you going to do?"

Butler Kenzo Akatsuka rubbed his hands and smiled dryly, "Well, you are famous in our Shizuoka Prefecture. ”

"Uh-huh. "Maori is happy.

Akatsuka Kenzo's housekeeper smiled dryly: "We have looked for priests and soul killers, but they are not very effective, so we can only look for you." ”

Maori's face changed, "Wait, priest and soul exorcist, are you looking for me......"

Akatsuka Kenzo's housekeeper smiled dryly: "Well, a supernatural event. ”

Lan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Could it be that what I just said is that Dad is famous in the spiritual world in Shizuoka Prefecture?"

"Long-winded!" Maori jumped, "Driver, take me back to the office, I won't do this commission." ”

"Wait, wait, Mr. Mori, you took the deposit. Akatsuka Kenzo housekeeper added an accent to the word "deposit", which means that there is also a final payment.

"Uh," Maori understood, immediately unannoyed, "well, tell me what's going on." ”

"It all started with a nightmare of the old man," said the butler Kenzo Akatsuka, "and the old man woke up in the middle of the night, and kept repeating, 'Curse, curse, I'm going to be killed.'" ”

Maori toothache, "This should go to dream interpretation." ”

"Originally, it was just a dream, but then something strange happened. Butler Kenzo Akatsuka said, "First of all, the car that the old man was riding in suddenly braked and almost had a serious accident, and this lead is the clearest. ”

Mianyin Shisheng said: "Yes, it's all my fault, I didn't find that the brake oil was leaking at that time. ”

Yamazaki looked at Shikatsu through the rearview mirror, and it didn't look like a lie, but the driver's duty is to maintain the car every day, so except for non-human situations, the only people who can do it are people who know how long he has been maintaining the car.

Akatsuka Kenzo's housekeeper said sadly: "Because of that accident, the old man's heart is in trouble, his eye sockets are sunken, his hair is all white, and he looks a lot older." ”

Maori asked, "Why did it become a supernatural event again?"

"It's natural to think so, and if you receive this kind of card for no reason, of course you will think about it. Butler Kenzo Akatsuka took out a card.

"Before I wake up, bow my head and confess my sins and change my ways, I am the soul of the fifth person. Maori took the card and read it, "Who sent this?"

"I didn't know it at all, but it just appeared in the mailbox," said the butler Kenzo Akatsuka, "At first we thought it was someone's prank, but when I showed it to my lord, this time even my wife was frightened. ”

"It's kind of weird. Maori asked, "That's it?"

"Then, in the middle of the night, the diner suddenly collapsed," said Butler Kenzo Akatsuka, "and there was a strange sound in the room where only the old lady was there. ”

"That's all there is to it. Maori said.

"Well, Detective Maori," Butler Kenzo Akatsuka asked cautiously, "I would like to ask if you don't have feelings for this card?"

Maori raised his triangular eyes, "You say feeling, do you mean supernatural feeling?"

"No?" said Akatsuka's butler with a dry laugh, then changing the subject, "What's really weird about it is the dates of these five events. ”

"Date?" asked Maori rhetorically, "Friday the 13th or something?"

"It's all the fourth," Akatsuka said in a somewhat eerie tone, "the fourth day of the Buddha's destruction on the yellow calendar, and tomorrow will also be the fourth." ”

"Ahh

Mori said, "I see, because tomorrow is the fourth again, so I came from Shizuoka Prefecture to invite me." ”

"Yes, we'd like to ask you to explain this paranormal event with science. Butler Kenzo Akatsuka said in a deep voice, "Or, please find out this fifth person who is hiding in our house." ”

"That's a good point. "If these things are not any coincidence, then it is obvious that only your own people can do them." ”

Butler Kenzo Akatsuka said, "It's up to you Maori detectives. ”

"Wrap it around me. Maori smirked. ……

The car swayed all the way to Aoi-ku, Shizuoka City, and drove to the outside of a single-seated mansion located on a hill.

Thinking of the previous incident, Maori said: "I really don't understand why you rich people like to build houses in the suburbs." ”

"This magnificent mansion was left by the master's father, who lived here when he was a child," Akatsuka Kenzo's housekeeper said helplessly, "I also persuaded the master to live in the city, so that the master went to the hospital, but the master just didn't want to." ”

As he spoke, the car entered the courtyard and stopped under the steps in front of the door.

A young woman ran out, "Ah, why are there so many people, Uncle Xianzao, what are you doing!"

"Well, it was an accident," Kenzo Akatsuka's housekeeper was embarrassed, "but it's my fault for forgetting to call, sorry, sorry." ”

The young woman exclaimed, "Really, I'm going to go grocery shopping right now." ”

Butler Kenzo Akatsuka said, "Wait, let Mian lead you there." ”

The driver asked suspiciously: "Didn't I say that I would send the old man back to the hospital for a follow-up visit?"

Akatsuka Kenzo's housekeeper smiled: "My lord still wants to see the Maori detective now, this time, you can run away, otherwise when she comes back by bicycle, everyone will be hungry." ”

"That's right. The driver took out a notepad.

The young woman exclaimed, "Hey, there's nothing else to remember." ”

"I'm used to it. The driver was a little embarrassed, but he still took the pen, but the pen ran out of water.

Conan handed over the pen, "Here you go." ”

"Ah, thank you. The driver took out a handkerchief and took the pen, and then wiped it before using it.

The young woman helped explain: "This guy got food poisoning when he was a kid, and then he had a cleanliness habit. ”

While speaking, the driver of Mianyin Shisheng ran out of the pen and wiped it again before returning it to Conan.

The young woman opened the car door and sat down, "Drive quickly, don't swallow slowly." ”

"Got it, fasten your seatbelts. The driver drove away.

Butler Kenzo Akatsuka introduced, "Oh, by the way, that one just now is Miss Sakazaki Hahana, and she is the chef here. ”

Maori smiled, "Oh, what a young chef, the craft must be very good." ”

Akatsuka Kenzo said with a smile: "Where, she inherited her father's position, but her craftsmanship is really good." Then he waved, "Please, Detective Maori." ”……

Kunitome House, Hall.

A middle-aged maid was cleaning, "Ah, Butler Akatsuka, you're back." ”

"Lord and Mrs. ......"

"They were in the bedroom on the third floor with the guest, do you want me to help take them up?"

"No need. Butler Kenzo Akatsuka refused, and then looked around.

"That chef just now looks like you. ”

"Smack!"

"Painful ......"

Maori pointed out, then at the maid, who slapped Maori's fingers away, causing Maori to scream in pain.

"Don't point your fingers, I have a phobia of the tip. ”

"Huh?" everyone was surprised, this kind of problem is very rare.

The maid said angrily: "Also, Bohua is my daughter, and with my surname, of course we look alike." ”

"Yes, that's right. "Maori is embarrassing.

"Now, Shigeko, is that fruit bowl painting on the left wall five millimeters crooked?" said Akatsuka Kenzo's butler, "please hang it up, please." ”

"Yes, yes, troublesome perfectionists. The maid muttered angrily and left.

"Okay, Maori detective, please go this way. ”

"Good. ”……

The four of them followed Kenzo Akatsuka's housekeeper all the way to the third floor, and found that the third floor was completely closed, and a fingerprint machine was installed outside.

Maori laughed: "Isn't this a bit of a fuss?"

Akatsuka Kenzo's housekeeper said, "This is what Madame asked his friend to do, and it is the president of a security company. ”

"I'm the butler Akatsuka, sir, and I've brought the Maori detective here. ”

"Okay, I'll open the door. ”

Kenzo Akatsuka's housekeeper put his finger on the fingerprint machine, and after the report, the iron door immediately opened. ……
