Chapter 112: Successive Tragic Deaths of a Wealthy Family (1)
On this day, the private villa of the chairman of the Nagato Foundation welcomed three unusual guests, namely Detective Mori Kogoro and his daughter Koran, and Conan, who followed them all year round as an oil bottle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's really beautiful here! it's not much better than the villa of the Yuan family!" Xiaolan said as she walked down the boulevard leading to the villa at the main entrance, looking around at the neatly trimmed rows of plane trees.
"Oh, distinguished guest, are you talking about Miss Sonoko, the daughter of the Suzuki Foundation?" Musashinosuke, the old butler who led Xiaolan and his party to the villa, who had served as a housekeeper in this villa since the previous generation of family owners. Perennial around the dignitaries and nobles, over the years to practice a pair of unforgettable eyes, he naturally talked with Xiaolan: "I still remember Miss Yuanzi came two or three times when she was a child!"
Noticing that the client was as heavyweight as the Suzuki Foundation, Xiaolan stuck to her father's side and asked in a low voice, "What would such a powerful person do with his father?"
Hearing his daughter's question, Maori straightened his chest and said arrogantly: "In fact, Chairman Nagato personally pointed out that I wanted Detective Maori Kogoro to come, there should be some particularly difficult case to ask me!"
After saying that, Maori let out his signature "ahhaha" giggle unscrupulously, and then a discordant voice interjected: "I'm afraid I'm just here to investigate the outside/encounter incident, right?"
Usually rich people encounter difficult cases will find the right criminal police to help them through their relationships as soon as possible, even if they can't deal with the incident on the surface, they also have a group of idle people in the mixed society all the year round, specializing in some shady work.
It is only when the investigation of a third party requires professional skills and cannot be known to subordinates or outsiders, it is necessary to find a private investigator to investigate.
There is nothing wrong with Conan's reasoning conclusions, but his way of expressing it is not accepted by the overjoyed Maori, and the result of daring to tell the truth is that he needs to be prepared to have an extra bag on his head.
"Ahh
Just as Maori rolled up his sleeves to teach Conan a lesson, he was careless, stumbling into a pit on the ground and falling on his back.
Seeing the guest invited by the lord falling, the old butler Musashi Nosuke was shocked, "Are you okay?"
"It's fine. Maori was a master of judo, and he would not get hurt by such a trivial matter, so he got up and patted the dust off his body and asked, "How can there be a pit next to the pond?
Seeing that Maori was fine, the housekeeper Musashinosuke let go of his hanging heart and explained, "Because I plan to plant new saplings here next week." ”
Kuranosuke butler doesn't want the master's guest to have an accident in front of him, and then implicate himself in being dismissed. You must know that housekeeping is an easy job, and you can tell other servants to get things in order with a slight movement of your mouth. In the current economic downturn, it is not easy for him to find another high-paying job at the age of seventy.
After a small episode, everyone walked into the villa, which was more than natural in its surroundings, the interior of the villa was resplendent and the main hall, which was often used to entertain VIPs, was magnificent, and the oil paintings hanging on the walls could be seen to be of great value even to those who did not know art.
"My lord is waiting for you on the third floor!" said the old butler, Kuranosuke, walked to the front of Maori and led the way for them.
Walking up the turnaround staircase, Conan accidentally caught a glimpse of several detectives gathered in the large living room on the first floor, they seemed to be discussing something, among them was a small-eyed officer with a mustache, Conan looked a little familiar, but he didn't remember his name for a while.
"Conan, let's go!" Xiaolan saw that Conan was slightly distracted, urging him to follow quickly.
"Okay, here we are. He couldn't remember the name of the officer in charge, and Conan didn't think much of it, so he quickened his pace and chased after him.
The largest south-facing room on the third floor of the villa is the chairman's bedroom, and the housekeeper knocked lightly on the door and led Maori and his party into the room of Nagato Road Three.
Chairman Nagato lay on the bed and slightly apologetically told Mori that he was unwell and could not get up to greet him.
In fact, Chairman Nagato did not have any serious illness, but the wealth disease that most rich people have, and the private doctor suggested that he eat more light food and rest for a while to recover.
In the past few days, Chairman Nagato has handed over most of the company's business to his subordinates, and he has been resting in bed.
People can't help but think crankily when they're idle, and the idle chairman of Nagato somehow thought of his first girlfriend on a whim, so through a friend's recommendation, hoping to find out her with the help of Detective Mori Kogoro's ability, and the two will meet again.
Listening to the client's requirements, the originally ambitious Maori suddenly died down, and he was very entangled in his heart, on the one hand, he didn't want to use himself too much, in case it was passed out, he could only take on such trivial cases specifically, and the other was to covet the high commission fee offered by the chairman, and he was unwilling to give up.
"It's a pity, it's not a tricky case!" Conan said coolly.
Maori, who was worried about not being able to find a place to vent, didn't expect Conan to consciously jump out as a punching bag, just now in the front yard of the villa it was this little ghost who caused himself to fall, the old accounts and new accounts were added together, he punched Conan in the head, and Conan suddenly bulged a big bag on his head.
Seeing this, Xiaolan immediately pulled Conan aside, comforting him while signaling that he could not disturb his father's work.
Mori's move to teach Conan a lesson was seen by Chairman Nagato, who understood that the big detective in front of him was unwilling to take on his small case, but he believed that the price he offered could not be rejected by anyone.
The older people get, the more nostalgic they are for the characters of the past, mixed up with the position of chairman of Nagato, and money is nothing more than a numbers game for him. As long as he can realize his wishes, he doesn't care about how much he spends.
Chairman Nagato coughed twice and continued to say to Maori: "Because my first love was when I was in elementary school, I couldn't leave a photo of her, but there are still some clues. Hinata ......"
The chairman shouted to the female secretary beside him, and Hinata Yuki held a stack of documents in his hand and said in detail: "Name: Kotomi Akagi, a native of Kanagawa Prefecture, graduated from high school, married at the age of 29, and had a son with her husband Yamato Yuhei, and the three of them were suddenly missing five years later, and our investigation was at an impasse. ”
The person under investigation disappeared, and it was more than 20 years ago, and it may not be easy to find the person, and it seems that it is not easy to make money from the rich.
"By the way, who recommended me to you?" In the conversation just now, Mori heard from Chairman Nagato that he found himself through a friend's introduction, and Mori wanted to know who was so powerful, maybe he could contact other rich people in the future through this person.
"It's me!" the small-eyed officer who had been in the living room pushed the door open and walked in.
Maori looked up and searched his head to find that he didn't know him.
The police officer saw Maori's confused face, so he explained: "I'm Osaka Police Inspector, Hattori Heizou, and I actually highly recommended you by my son!"
Hearing Hattori Heizou introduce himself, Maori patted his head and suddenly realized, and then he rubbed his hands together and flattered: "It turns out that whenever there is a major case in Osaka, the police inspector always shows his face on TV." I remember that your son's name is Heiji, and I watched his wonderful reasoning up close last time in the murder of a diplomat!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect the uncle to have a good memory!"
As soon as Maori finished speaking, he pushed the door and walked into the bedroom, and he smiled at everyone, a mouthful of white teeth that stood out on his slightly dark face.
Seeing Heiji appear, Conan suddenly realized: "Hattori came all the way from Osaka to Tokyo, and every time he appears, there is always a nasty guy who has been pestering him......"
"Hello everyone!"
Sure enough, Conan guessed it, Xingchen walked out from behind Heiji, holding a cup of steaming coffee and milk in his hand, and greeted everyone in the room politely.
Conan knew that there must be some kind of ulterior motive between the two men in front of him, and just as he was about to ask why he was looking for him in the name of Maori, two more women entered the bedroom.
Entering the house were the two daughters of Chairman Nagato, Nobuko Nagato and Yasue Nagato.
"Dad, are there any guests?" The second daughter, Kang Jiang, saw that there were many people gathered in the house, and after saying hello to her father, she stopped talking more.
"Oh, not only the guests, but also a vixen mixed in!" The eldest daughter, Nobuko, sneered at the secretary coldly, "I heard that you have been living here lately, what are your intentions?"
The young and beautiful female secretary lives in the villa of a single rich man who is widowed in the elderly, as long as anyone who has watched the TV series a little bit can guess the woman's purpose with her toes, in front of so many people, the eldest daughter Nobuko can still ask such a low IQ question, Xingchen is really ashamed of her.
"Nobuko, Hinata is my secretary!" Chairman Nagato sat on the bed and said weakly, "Because I am sick in bed, I need her to convey the company's important decisions for me." ”
"It's good to make a phone call about this kind of thing, or you can have a video conference!" Nobuko caught another glimpse of Mori and the others standing in the room, and she continued to ask, "Who are they?"
Hinata looked through the pile of documents in his hand and introduced: "This is the detective Mr. Kogoro Mori, and the chairman specially invited him to find his first love/......"
"Smack!"
Nobuko interrupted Hinata's words with a crisp slap, and she said viciously, "I didn't ask you! You don't want to please my father and take my mother's place, do you?"
When Chairman Nagato saw that his daughter beat his secretary in front of everyone, he obviously didn't take himself seriously, and he was a little angry and said, "Nobuko, you have gone too far!"
Just now he was slapped by Nobuko, and an old-fashioned fountain pen in the outer pocket of Hinatami's coat that was obviously old accidentally fell on Chairman Nagato's bed.
Hinata picked up her pen and hurriedly checked it, and only after finding that it was not damaged did she let out a long sigh of relief and carefully put it back in her pocket.
This scene was seen by Nobuko, and she didn't seem to plan to let Hinata go, and continued to sneer: "Huh? You still have such a dirty fountain pen? I wonder if it's your father's relic? But this kind of thing is disgusting to see, so throw it in the trash!"
Nobuko's shrew-like attitude was looked at by everyone, although they hated what she did in their hearts, but Chairman Nagato, who was the head of the family, did not speak, and it was naturally even more inconvenient for outsiders to say more.
"Ahh
A high-decibel exclamation suddenly came from the mouth of the letter.
It turned out that Xingchen "accidentally" spilled half a cup of coffee milk in his hand on Nobuko's legs.
Without waiting for Nobuko to get angry, Xingchen slapped her skirt with her hand again, causing the originally white skirt to be covered with palm prints.
"Stinky little ghost, take away your dirty hands!Do you know how much this dress I wear?" Nobuko was furious at Xingchen's actions.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Xingchen said with a pitiful expression and an innocent expression.
Nobuko was so angry that her teeth itched, but she was helpless to take the stars, as the eldest lady of the Nagato Foundation, she really couldn't pull down her face and ask a seven-year-old ghost to pay compensation, if it was spread out, it would only be her own face.
"Hmph!" Nobuko stepped on her high heels and left angrily with her sister Kang Jiang.
When Nobuko walked away, Chairman Nagato apologized to Secretary Hinata: "I'm sorry Hinata, Nobuko lost her temper because she couldn't marry at this age." ”
"I know. "Miss Hinata is the only one.
Hinata can be the chairman's personal secretary not only relies on the young and beautiful capital, she knows the need for appropriate regression when necessary, no matter how excessive Nobuko is, she is always the personal daughter of Chairman Nagato, after all, blood is thicker than water.
"It's getting late, I'm going back to the office as soon as possible. Hinata raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her left wrist.
"Is it really good to announce that to everyone tonight? If you just sympathize with my son......" Chairman Nagato hesitated in his words, as if he had not yet made up his mind about something.
"I don't sympathize with him, we are destined, and the 'fetters of flame' keep us tightly entangled. With that, Hinata walked out of the bedroom and closed the door casually.
The "fetters of flames" that Hinata said before leaving made Conan a little curious, but he didn't ask immediately, but held back his curiosity rarely, because he believed that the answer should be found in Heiji and Xingchen.
Later, the people who stayed in the room chatted for a while, and Mori learned that Chairman Nagato and Hattori Police Inspector were the seniors and juniors of the Kendo Club in the junior high school era, and both of them had served as the chief generals of the Kendo Club and had a high kendo standard.
However, from Chairman Nagato's already bulging general's belly, it is difficult to imagine his heroic appearance as the protagonist in a kendo uniform.
After graduating, Nagato Michizo worked in business, and Hattori Heizou worked as a police officer, and although the two were in different industries, they often kept in touch.
Today, both are successful in their respective industries.
This is a typical collusion between officials and businessmen!
Xingchen made up a picture in his mind, Nagato Michizo used the profits earned in business to hand over to Hattori Heizo to let him entrap the internal police officials, and then Hattori Heizo gave Nagato Michizo "appropriate" care in the business field.
In this cycle, like a snowball, the careers of the two are getting bigger and bigger.
Soon, two more people came into the house to visit Chairman Nagato. One of them wore a velvet hat and his face was heavily bandaged, with only one of his right eyes exposed.
At the first sight of this person, Xingchen almost exclaimed "bandage freak", but he immediately thought that Takahashi was being sent by himself to assist Noriko in investing in the American IT giant Sindora Company (I should have written this theatrical version when I had time), and it was impossible to separate the two places.
