Monday, March 2, morning, Maori Detective Affairs.

"I'll ...... back" Conan pushed open the door and found Ran with a gloomy face, glaring at him with his hands on his hips, swallowing the last two words.

Lan said, "Dr. Asa told me. ”

"Sue, tell you something. "Conan's sweat is down.

Lan shouted angrily: "It doesn't matter if you want to stay and play outside, but you also have to tell me, and when you will come back, I almost asked you for leave." Then he complained, "Really, I called the new house several times and no one answered, and if Yamazaki hadn't reminded me to go find Dr. Asasa, I would have called the police." ”

"Yes, I'm sorry, Sister Lan. Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, have you had breakfast?" Lan asked, looking at the time.

"Ate on the way. Conan said.

Lan said: "Then you hurry up and pack your school bag, it's almost time to go to school." ”……

Morning, good mood, Miyamoto Miko's office.

Jionghime reported to Mimiko Miyamoto, "Madam, the funds for the purchase of land have been gathered. ”

"Then hand it in. Miyamoto said, then asked, "Is there any problem?"

"I'm wondering when the Suzuki family will be able to pay off the five trillion yen with interest, and although the Suzuki family now has a net profit of more than 10 billion yen, it will cost a lot of money to build," said Hirohime. ”

"Don't worry," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "When he gains a firm foothold in Zhongjing Jinghai Metropolis Bank, it will be almost ten or twenty years, and if he can fully control Zhongjing Jinghai Metropolis Bank, it will be faster." ”

"That's right. Jio Ji nodded and said.

Miyamoto Miko said, "By the way, pay attention to the movement of these funds. ”

Jiong Ji said: "Needless to say, we all know that we will first use it to fill the holes of the six major consortia, and the rest will be used to help other financial companies and support some industrial clubs, so as to drive the domestic economy." ”

"I just want to know how to fill this hole. Miyamoto Miyako said, "Didn't Governor Harujima say that the core financial clubs of the six major consortia were going to merge? I would like to know who is with whom, whether it is friendly cooperation, strong alliances, or ......."

"Or the jungle. Jio Ji said.

"It's a bit inaccurate to say that strong food is a bit inaccurate, and it should be said that cannibalization. Miyamoto Miko said, "None of the six major consortia can be swallowed at once, at least dozens or even hundreds of years before it can be ground and twisted. For example, the Kongo Group Construction Company that you acquired, although it is not big, but the inheritance of more than 1,000 years is not a joke, and if you want to assimilate it into a good mood, there is no time for one or two generations, and people are just a haven when our good mood is a safe haven. ”

"Yes, I see, I'll take notice, ma'am. Jio Ji said, and then asked, "The four heavy shield helicopters we ordered have arrived, do you want to check them out?"

"You don't need to, you can do it. Miyamoto said, then asked, "By the way, how is the construction of the rice flower square?"

"The commercial building has been completed, the residential building is still under construction, and the skirt is only partially built. ”

Miyamoto Miko asked, "Eiri said he was going there?"

Jiong Ji said: "Yes, Miss Yingli said that since this place is going to be renovated, I want to change the environment, I wanted to give the top floor of the commercial building to Miss Yingli, but Miss Yingli asked for the 36th floor, but the residence is still ready to press on the top floor of the residential building." ”

"That's not bad, either. Miyamoto asked, "How many other guests are there?"

Jiong-hime said: "There are also one hundred and fifty-three people, in addition to the guys from the four major intelligence organizations and the national security department, the other part is doing finance in the Jinyao Ministry, some are single artists who are trying to avoid trouble, such as Miss Mizumi no Nai, the host of the news program of the Japanese sales TV station, and the rest are people who are in trouble with this place as a safe house, such as Miss Masami Hirota, who is unidentified, and there are some rooms that have been chartered out, but no one is living in them, and it is very likely that something happened outside." Then he said, "My idea is to let them live first, and if the building of Rice Flower Square is finished before the renovation, I will invite them to live there, and if not, arrange another hotel for them to be guarded by Shi Feng's security guard." ”

"Yes. Miyamoto said.

"If there's nothing else to do, I'll go and get to work." ”……

In the afternoon, Maori detective affairs.

When Conan returned, he found that the Twilight Police Department was here, and after listening for a while, he learned that it was for Sachiko Shimamura. Several people in the detention center got into a fight and accidentally pushed her down the steps, and unfortunately, Sachiko Shimamura landed right on the back of her head and died on the way to the hospital. Since she had no relatives, the Twilight Police Department came over and handed over her belongings to Maori.

Shortly after the Twilight Police Department left, Ran and Yamazaki arrived. Lan saw that Maori was in a bad mood and was distracted with something, so he asked Conan, and Conan said it.

"How so?" Lan whispered in surprise.

"Oh, Lan, you're back just in time, I'm going to drink later, and I'll be back late, so in case I can't get up tomorrow morning and won't be able to see you, I'll tell you first," said Maori, "and you help me get my black suit and tie." ”

"Black?" said Ran, "yes, I'll remember." ”……

In the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

During the break, Conan told Yamazaki about his questions about the Ninety-Nine Motoyasu incident.

Yamazaki asked, "I heard Dr. Asa say that my uncle is here, didn't you ask him?"

"Before I could do it, the two of them kept arguing. Conan said helplessly.

"This matter has passed, I think if you have a mind, you should think about how to restrain your behavior, think about how to deal with Lan. Yamazaki said, "Dr. Asasa said that Lan was suspicious of you when he took you back. ”

"There's no way, it's a matter of habit, I can't converge it, I can only take one step at a time. Conan said with a wry smile.

"Okay," Yamazaki said, "just ask." ”

Conan said, "First, the hanging wire ring was definitely not tied by himself. ”

Yamazaki says, "There are many cases where you can't untie the knot yourself. ”

"Second, the police didn't find any fingerprints," Conan said. ”

"It's normal to wear gloves in winter," Yamazaki says. ”

Conan said: "Third, and the most suspicious place, if Mr. Ninety-Nine really cares about his disciple and wants Miss Asako not to test magic, then he should call her when he is fine." ”

"Maybe it's already been fought, but you just don't know it. Yamazaki said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken Miss Fumino to a place where I could meet Mr. Ninety-Nine." ”

Conan said, "But then Lady Nanae should also know." ”

"Maybe I wanted to surprise her, so I didn't tell her in advance. Yamazaki said.

There is some truth to that. Conan touched his chin and said, "But I always felt that Mr. Ninety-Nine didn't tell his wife about it, and there was something wrong with that." ”

"I don't think there's a problem with that. Yamazaki laughed, "Really, not at all." ”

"Why?" asked Conan.

Yamazaki looked at Conan and said, "Because I have such a guy next to me." ”

"Side, it can't mean me, right?" Conan asked rhetorically.

"You weren't there yesterday, and you haven't heard from you at all, Lan Ke is very anxious. Yamazaki smiled, "Mr. Ninety-Nine should be unable to get out of the hospital bed, and the reason is much more legitimate than yours." ”

"Uh, this ......" Conan chuckled embarrassedly.

"No problem, right?" said Yamazaki, "then follow me to work." ”……

Friday, March 6, morning, Miyamoto house.

The Morning Post published three news stories, one is that the Galileo probe Jupiter detected a layer of liquid water below the ice on Europa's surface, speculating that there may be life. The second is NASA's announcement that Clementine has found enough water in a crater on the moon that could be used to support the establishment of a colony, including extraction and conversion into rocket fuel. Third, scientists have discovered that the universe is expanding at an accelerated pace.

"The second is good news, at least as a first step. Yamazaki said, "But this third point, this conclusion is not very good. ”

"Yes," Miyamoto sighed, "to discuss the evolution of the universe in hundreds of millions of years based on the thousands of years of human civilization on the earth, it can only be said that it is like a leopard in a tube, and a blind man touching an elephant." ”

"What is that?," said Midaiko, "look at the prey with a telescope." ”

Mimiko Miyamoto rubbed her brows, "By the way, I remember that our family has a ...... of idioms"

"I just said nothing. Mei Daizi hurriedly said, and then looked at the time, "It's not early, brother, let's go." ”……

Saturday, March 7, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

Lan saw that after Maori received a commission call, he was in a bad mood, so he asked.

"This guy named Kotaro Ichikawa, although he is now the chairman of the famous Ichikawa industry, is an unscrupulous guy in his bones," Mori said, "As long as it is not a major crime, it can be said that as long as it works, any indiscriminate means can be used, and the case against him ten years ago was a foot thick." ”

Yamazaki smiled, "The most important thing is that Mr. Ichikawa is a somewhat stingy person. ”

"I see. Lan and Conan laughed together, thinking to themselves that this was probably the reason for the bad mood.

Maori said, "Okay, Lan is going to prepare lunch, and we'll go there a little earlier after dinner." ”

"Shall we, shall I go too?" asked Ran.

"Then I'm going too. Conan shouted.

"All go, all go," said Maori, "though this guy didn't say anything, but he asked me to bring my family with me, and he's going to have a party in the garden tonight, and you have to refuel and at least earn back the cost of the rental car." ”……

In the afternoon, Yokohama, Ichikawa House.

The doorman asked Mori to drive the car in, and the housekeeper Toshiaki Imamura waited for Mori, Ran, Conan, and Yamazaki to get off in front of the main house, and then took them to the study.

On the way, looking at the garden outside the large glass window, there were many tables set up, and some waiters were preparing supplies for the party, Lan couldn't help but ask, "Are there many people coming today?"

Imamura said, "Yes, Miss Lan, today is the birthday of the president of my family, and the president is going to announce that matter today, so not only relatives and friends, but also many cadres in the club will also come." ”

"What about that?" asked Maori, "what is it?"

"I'll let the president tell you about this himself. Toshiaki Imamura said.

Moments later, the study.

When Mori and the others entered, Kotaro Ichikawa was sitting behind his desk, and his family doctor was taking his blood pressure.

After Mori and the others stood at their desks and waited for a while, the doctor got up and stood behind Kotaro Ichikawa, and Toshiaki Imamura introduced Mori and Kotaro Ichikawa.

Kotaro Ichikawa straightened his clothes and stood up and said, "Welcome here, Detective Maori." ”

"Thank you for having me. "But there is one thing I must say, I don't mean I've accepted your commission. ”

"You're sure you'll accept my commission. Kotaro Ichikawa said, "I just hope Detective Maori doesn't make a mess of this." As he spoke, he waved his hand to Toshiaki Imamura.

Imamura understood and handed Mori a check.

"One hundred thousand yen," Mori glanced at and threw the check away, "You can't help but think my detective Mori Kogoro is too cheap." ”

Conan took the check, "Hey, uncle, this doesn't seem to be a hundred thousand yuan, you see there are seven zeros behind this." ”

"Seven?" Mori took the check and looked at it carefully, immediately put it away, and then asked Kotaro Ichikawa, "Excuse me, what are you looking for me for?"

Kotaro Ichikawa smiled, "Very good, I have prepared another million yen, if I am satisfied." ”

"Of course. Maori asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"My two daughters will also be coming to today's party, and I hope you will help me keep an eye on my two daughters and see what they are doing or what they want to do," Kotaro Ichikawa said. ”

"Why is that?" asked Maori.

"This is Dr. Jun Okano, my attending doctor," Kotaro Ichikawa said, and then said to Jun Okano, "You can explain my condition to Mr. Mori." ”

"Okay. "Detective Maori, if Mr. Ichikawa continues to work like this, it will be difficult for him to be in good health. ”

"I will step down as president today. Kotaro Ichikawa said, "So I want to see who can take my place." ”

"That means you want one of your daughters to take over as president, so let's take over," Mori said. ”

Kotaro Ichikawa said: "That's not necessarily, even if they are my own flesh and blood, if they are not capable enough, I will not give them a penny." ”

"That's true, but there's a part of the inheritance statute called a retention of property, even if you don't want to," Maori said. Your child will still get a share of your property. ”

Kotaro Ichikawa said, "But if they have a problem with their inheritance, that's a different story. Then he said, "Okay, you go to the venue, the butler will introduce you to his new friends, bring your family to my birthday party today, he will introduce you and your assistant to the people who will talk to my two daughters, and ask you to pay more attention to them at the venue." ”

"Understood, please rest assured. Maori said. ……
