Chapter 14: Sure enough
The uncle didn't know the specific things that happened on the train, but he just had a general understanding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But because Conan needs to make notes or something, he ......
So the uncle simply left him and took Xiaolan and them to attend a friend's wedding.
Anyway, Conan followed the police, so there was no need to worry, compared to it, the friend's wedding seemed to be a little more important.
Before the crossing, what kind of wedding or the like was a double blow to the single dog's soul and passbook.
Maybe the physical blow will also suffer, because single dogs can only do their own food and clothing, but that is not good, to put it nicely, it is abundant, but in fact......
Well, don't discuss this.
All in all, the uncle didn't have much concern about attending a friend's wedding this time.
It's just that they came and went in a hurry, reminisced about the past, and after drinking, they left with Xiaolan and them.
This made the uncle feel unhappy with Conan's kid again, and he thought he could have an all-night drink with his friends, and make trouble in the cave room or something.
Although it was the first time that the uncle and those friends had met, after all, there were memories of the original Mori Kogoro, so they were all familiar.
Some things that I don't remember will be over if I am confused, and everyone will not take it seriously anyway.
However, there is always nothing good about getting involved with Conan.
"Sure enough, I should change that little bastard into women's clothes and give it to some people with special hobbies!"
The uncle was full of malice.
It's just a matter of thinking about it, though.
But from time to time, he stared at Conan with unkind eyes, which made Conan inexplicable for a while.
He had no idea where he had offended his uncle.
However, this situation is very common, some small things may not be cared about by yourself, but some people may hold a grudge against you for these small things.
Anyway, this matter is over.
When he returned to the Maori office, the uncle began to live a life of idleness every day.
Anyway, no one came here to entrust the uncle with something or anything like that.
Although the uncle is full of confidence and wants to do a big job.
But it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and if there is no commission and no case, he can't use it even if he has the ability.
And in the final analysis, it's hard to say whether the uncle really has the ability, although he has solved two cases before.
"There's still a lack of opportunities!"
The uncle who meditated and thought about it left and right, and thought about it crankily, could only sigh in the end.
But there is always a suspicion of being a good man and a low hand.
It's like those who don't mix well, always complaining about this and that, saying that as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely be able to do well or something.
Before thinking about this, it is better to practice more skills to enrich yourself, even if it is to read a few more books.
After all, there is no harm in having more knowledge.
But the uncle obviously doesn't have the consciousness of this, and when he has nothing to do, he still watches TV or something.
And so it went on for another two days.
On this day, the uncle may have fallen asleep sitting on the chair in the office because he was too tired, and he didn't even know that Xiaolan and Conan, who had gone out to buy ingredients, had returned.
But while Ran and Conan were chatting, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Hey!"
Xiaolan answered and walked over directly to open the door.
But as soon as the door opened, a large number of boxes of various colors and sizes, which seemed to be gift boxes, fell down all at once.
The sudden arrival startled Xiaolan and Conan.
Xiaolan is also worthy of being the chief general of the karate club, and subconsciously jumps back.
However, Conan sat on the ground with his ass on his shoulder, and it seemed that he had fallen hard.
This kind of movement finally woke up the sleeping uncle.
I opened my eyes in a daze, and found that it was a middle-aged man who was a little emaciated and walked in and pulled Conan up.
Uncle Conan didn't care, but suddenly came to the spirit.
An unknown man came here, and it was clear that a commission had come to the door.
……
"My name is Ogawa."
The man who visited unexpectedly introduced himself.
Since it was a guest, he was naturally invited in and sat on the reception sofa, with cups on the coffee table...... It was filled with boxes of all sizes and sizes that he had brought.
Those are supposedly gifts, gifts from others.
"Actually, since about two years ago, people have been sending me toys and money every month, but the sender's address and name are fake, and I think this must be uneasy."
The man named Ogawa explained the situation, and from his expression, he seemed to be a little worried.
I guess I can't keep my composure lately, so I'm looking for the help of a detective.
"Send toys and money to your ......"
The uncle looked at the toys on the table using the box.
It's really a bit strange to give a toy to a big man.
So.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of having children?"
"Yes, I have a son, Yuta, who is five years old this year."
"Oh."
The uncle nodded, touching his chin and looking at the toys in thought.
These toys look a little old.
And if you look closely, there are some scratches and the like, which are obviously not new, and may have been used.
But this doesn't seem to explain anything.
And it may also be used by Ogawa's son.
For the sake of safety, the uncle still asked.
But Ogawa said that when he received the toy, there were already scratches on it.
It's not surprising to give away used toys.
But it was sent by someone I don't know, so it's strange.
And what about the money?
The uncle, who couldn't think of a clue, continued to ask about the situation.
"So, how much money will be sent to you every month?"
"It's a million every month, and this month it's 25 million."
"Twenty-five million?!"
The uncle who heard this number was a little surprised.
Twenty-five million, even if it is neon coins, this is not a small amount, according to the exchange rate of one to one hundred, that is 250,000 US dollars, more than one million soft sister coins.
A man who doesn't know who gave him such a large sum of money, and for nearly two years, he still has a million neon coins every month, it's no wonder that this man named Ogawa is worried about this.
And there are toys along with it, maybe it's related to his son.
Such speculation really made Xiaochuan feel at ease.
Uncle can understand this, it's all father.
Although the uncle still can't really treat Xiaolan as a daughter, after all, if you really count the actual age, the uncle is not actually an uncle, not much older than Xiaolan.
However, when he crossed over to Maori Kogoro, this can only be admitted.
"Yuta was happy because he received toys every month, but I always felt that the money was not right, so I didn't use it at all."
Ogawa continued to explain the situation, still worried.
It seems that this has become his heart disease, and if he doesn't figure out the truth behind this matter, he probably won't be able to eat or sleep well.
That's a bit of a problem.
Uncle adjusted his tie slightly, and it always felt a little too tight.
After releasing it a little, he continued to ask.
"So, are there any clues?"
"Hey."
"Could it be my uncle's illness?"
Conan on one side suddenly spoke.
This opening immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Conan didn't have the consciousness of being a child, and asked with a smile.
"Because my uncle is a surgeon, right?"
"Hmm."
"It wouldn't be surprising, then, if it was a patient whom my uncle had helped secretly gave gifts as a token of gratitude."
