Saturday, January 29, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Ran calls and tells Sonoko about going to see Gerald Pegasus, and Sonoko happily runs over, then calls Maida and the three of them have a brief meeting and confirms that Sonoko will go with Ran to meet Gerald Pegasus tomorrow. Although Mei Daiko borrowed his songs from the garden and listened to them, she was not interested in him, but she wanted to take the opportunity to skip the shift, but after thinking about it, she decided to stay at home and work.

After that, in order to let Yamazaki and Conan have a preliminary understanding of Gerald's Pegasus' works and avoid revealing their stuffing tomorrow, Ran, Sonoko, and Mei Daiko took Yamazaki and Conan to Rice Flower Square and played in the song hall of the Shochiku Entertainment Center for an afternoon. ……

Sunday, January 30, before evening, cloudy, Kana house, Ota City.

Kana House is a castle-style villa located on the seaside of Ota Ward, on a cliff near the sea.

The porter opened the door after asking for instructions, and Mori drove Yamazaki, Ran, Conan, and Sonoko into the Kana house.

Lan sighed: "You have to drive from the entrance to the front door, like a foreign movie, it's really luxurious." ”

The garden said, "What, you can't even see a servant here, it's not luxurious." ”

"Okay, you remember for me, after you go in, you can settle down, don't disturb my work. Maori admonished.

"Yes, yes, we certainly won't. Yuan Zi and Lan laughed together.

As soon as the group got out of the car, suddenly a lightning bolt streaked across the night sky, causing Yuan Zi and Lan to scream.

Yuan Zi said in an eerie tone, "Lan, I suddenly feel that this place is a bit like a castle in a horror movie. ”

"Ahh

"Stop playing, let's get inside. Yamazaki laughed.

At this time, the door opened, and a young drifting woman came out and said to Maori, "Excuse me, is it Mr. Maoritian's family?"

"Yes. Maori smiled, "I am Maoritian." ”

"I'm the president's secretary, Tokudaiji Masayo," Tokudaiji Masayo said, "Please come in, Mr. Mori, our president is waiting for you." ”

The group entered the hall and was greeted by Kanazen, "Mr. Maori, welcome here." ”

"I'm really sorry to disturb because of the little girl's business. Maori laughed.

"Where the words. Kana Zen laughed.

At this time, a woman came over, and Kana Zen introduced his wife, Kana Misaki, who was the president of the Kana Music Publishing House within the Kana Group.

After greeting each other, the Cana couple took Maori and his party on a tour of the villa. During this time, it was raining heavily.

When I returned to the living room, the phone rang, Kanamisaki's face changed immediately after answering the phone, and Maori hurriedly went over to take the phone receiver from Kanamisaki's handset, but there was no sound in it, and then the other party hung up the phone.

Maori asked, "Lady Misaki, do you often get calls like this?"

Kanamisaki leaned into Kana Sennori's arms and said with some fear, "Yes, it's a man with a hoarse voice. ”

Maori asked, "So, do you have any suspicions or clues?"

"Nope. Ganashan said.

Kanamisaki said, "By the way, we received some photos this morning, please wait a minute, I'll go back to my room and get them right away." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Yamazaki asked, "Mr. Zenori, may I ask, why didn't you call the police?"

Kana Zen said: "Misaki is afraid that calling the police will not have an effect, but will make the other party even worse." ”

"But, Mr. Zennori, there's no way we can find the phone number from the phone company, and if we don't call the police, there's no way to get rid of the trouble," Mori said. ”

"This," Kana Zen said after a moment's thought, "I'll talk to Misaki again." ”

At this time, Kanami Misaki came back and handed some photos to Mori, "Mr. Mori, you see, I suspect these photos were taken yesterday. ”

Maori looked at it and found that it looked like it was all in the background of this villa, and Kana Misaki's daily life photos, so he asked, "According to the background on the film, the person who took the picture should have invaded your house, didn't you find it?"

"Nope. Kanamisaki said.

Ganashan said, "The porter also said that he did not see any suspicious people coming in and out. ”

Maori touched his chin and muttered to himself, "Did you come up from the cliff by the sea behind the villa?"

Yamazaki said: "I don't think so, uncle, I came up from there just to take pictures, and the cost performance is too poor." ”

Maori asked, "What do you mean?"

Yamazaki said, "Uncle Maori, Mr. Zennori, Mrs. Misaki, maybe the photo was taken secretly by someone in this villa." ”

Ganashan asked, "It's impossible, why would they do such a thing?"

Mori said, "Mr. Zenori, you said that this kind of thing only happened since the date of Gerald Pegasus' welcome party was set, and the purpose of the gangster is obvious, which is to sabotage the welcome party. Also, you said that this party is private, so no outsiders should know about it. ”

"But," said Kanamisaki, "Mr. Mori, I am afraid to tell you that, for financial reasons, all the workers in my family have been dismissed, except for the porter. ”

Maori smiled: "Very good, that gangster is him." ”

"Is it really him?" said Kanazenori, "no, I'm going to ask him about it." ”

Maori smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Shanze, I think it's better for us to call the police and let the police deal with it." ”

"No, good rule, you can't call the police right now. Kanamisaki said, "That might affect the party." ”

"yes, yes, I almost forgot. "So, Mr. Mori, let's wait until the party is over." ”

"Absolutely. Maori said.

"What a Maori detective who helped us solve the problem that had been bothering me for many days in one fell swoop. Kanamisaki smiled, "I'll make sure to toast you later." ”

"You're so polite. Maori smiled proudly, "In short, if there is any incident that can't be solved, it's not wrong to find me Maori Kogoro." ”

At this time, Tokudaiji Masayo knocked on the door and entered, "President, your younger brother, Mr. Hideki and Mr. Gerral Tenma's agent, Mr. Michelle, has arrived. ”

"Only them?" Kanazenori asked, "where is Gerald's Pegasus?"

Tokudaiji Masayo said: "Mr. Michel said that Mr. Gerald went to the neighborhood alone to see the sea, and he would come within thirty minutes. ”

After that, the group went to the lobby to greet Hideki Kana and Michelle and introduced them to the restaurant, and Kana Zen introduced them to both parties.

After greeting each other, Sonoko and Ran begin to ask Michelle about Gerald Pegasus.

"Brother, come with me. Kana Hideki pulled Kana Zenori away, and Conan followed in curiosity.

Kanamisaki said, "Then, Mr. Mori, I'll go and touch up my makeup and miss the company." ”

"You please. Maori laughed.

Seeing that Kana Misaki was gone, Yamazaki thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I'll go and see it too, so that no one will be unfavorable to Mrs. Misaki and ruin the party." ”

"It's fine. Maori nodded. ……

In the side hall.

Kana Hideki asked, "Big brother, that is the famous Maori detective, what are you doing here?

"It's not because of the urgency of time, and you know, while Mr. Maori may be adding to the trouble, his commissions are done. "We just want to make sure the signing is successful, and nothing else matters." ”

Kana Hideki said, "But, big brother, all the troubles that Mr. Mori has added are ......"

When Conan heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile, uncle's reputation, how can there be a business here? What a vicious cycle!

"Don't say it, now the people are here. "By the way, Mr. Maori has found the gangster, the porter, and we will call the police to arrest him when the party is over." ”

"It's him, it's very likely. Kana Hideki said.

After that, the Cana brothers talk about the signing, and Conan listens for a while before leaving. ……

On the other side, Kana Misaki's bedroom.

Yamazaki stopped Kanamisaki before she could enter the bedroom, saying he wanted to talk to her. Kanamisaki hesitated for a moment and agreed, then invited Yamazaki into the bedroom.

"Mrs. Misaki, I'll get straight to the point. Yamazaki said, "That person is yourself." ”

Kanami Misaki was stunned for a moment, "You, what you say, I don't understand." ”

"The room is so big, Mrs. Misaki, if someone takes a picture of you, you can't possibly know. Yamazaki said.

"I, he'......" Kanami Misaki was speechless for a moment.

Yamazaki asked rhetorically, "Mrs. Misaki, do you want to say that the gangsters installed a small camera in your house that can take pictures automatically, so you don't see people?"

Kanamisaki hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I just want to say this." ”

"But a lot of the villa is the backdrop for those pictures," Yamazaki asked rhetorically, "Do you want to say that the gangsters installed more than a dozen cameras in your house?"

"This," Kanami said through gritted teeth, "it must be so. ”

"If, as you say, this gangster comes to your house in the morning, installs more than a dozen cameras all over your house, and then comes to your house in the evening and takes them away. Yamazaki asked, "You don't have any money in your family, do you?"

"No, no. "Kanamisaki's sweat came down.

"Since he didn't steal money, then the gangster must be your fanatical fan and took a lot of your clothes, right?" asked Yamazaki.

"No," Kanami exclaimed, "how do I know what those mentally abnormal people think." ”

"Don't get excited, Mrs. Misaki," Yamazaki said, "Now, you better tell the truth, you don't have a chance to break the contract." ”

"You ......" Kanami Misaki lost her strength and sat down on the edge of the bed and cried, and after a while, she stopped her tears and wiped the corners of her eyes and asked, "Why do you doubt me?"

Yamazaki said: "In those daily life photos, there is not a single bath photo, not a single photo of changing clothes, not even before and after bathing and changing clothes, so the gangster will only be you." Others are gangsters who come to install automatic cameras to secretly photograph you, and it is impossible to leak the bathroom and other places. ”

"As long as the automatic camera is set to the right time, it will definitely be able to take a few very secret photos, and even if you don't take such a very private photo, there will definitely be a background photo of the bathroom and other places. There should be a picture in the mail, to suggest that you have a very secret picture in his hand. ”

"If you put pressure on you, it's much more powerful than threatening letters and silent phone calls, but now the gangsters are only sending some ordinary daily life photos, which is really unreasonable. While this also indicates that someone is spying on you, it's not as powerful as a very stealthy photo that you know you've been stolen. ”

"Of course, there may be people who have secret photos of you but are worried that you won't accept them, so they don't send them to you, but this gangster makes silent phone calls, sends threatening letters, and secretly takes photos, the probability of him being this kind of person is extremely low, I'm afraid you don't believe that such a person exists. That's it. ”

"I, is this smart but mistaken by cleverness?" Kanami Misaki muttered.

"Your motive should be to sabotage the contract, but it should be beneficial to you. Yamazaki asked, "I heard that Mr. Gerrard is of Japanese descent and only came to France ten years ago, did you ...... with him before?"

"I don't want to talk about that. Kanamisaki said.

Yamazaki said, "I can help you, Misaki, you can take a gamble." ”

Kanamisaki was silent for a while and said, "We were originally lovers, but I broke up with him in order to marry Zenze, but he didn't give up, so I pushed him into the sea." ”

"I see. Yamazaki asked, "Is it around here?"

Kanamisaki said, "Yes, on the way home from a party here. ”

"So what do you want to do now, kill him again?" asked Yamazaki.

Kanamisaki said with some pain: "I don't know, I really don't know, my heart is very messy, if he waits for the statute of limitations to expire in five years, it would be good if he came back now, he must have come back to settle accounts with me, he must have come to see me laugh, he will definitely laugh at me, I chose my husband back then, but now my husband's company depends on him to survive." ”

Yamazaki thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go and ask you what Mr. Gerald means, and if he's here to get trouble, you can get a concubine lawyer through Uncle Maori." ”

"You mean Attorney Fei Yingli?" asked Kanami rhetorically.

"Yes, if there was a lawyer to help, I believe that this incident from ten years ago would only create some lace news. "As for your business, if you're willing to sell, I can put you in touch with a buyer, otherwise I won't be able to help." ”

"Thank you, we don't plan to sell the business for the time being. Kanamisaki said.

"Alright, I'll go find Mr. Gerald. Yamazaki said, and left. ……
