It seems to have been said before that a series of private and social activities carried out by human beings are carried out with a purpose. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's not fame or profit, but in the final analysis, it's one's own selfish desires.

So, why would the uncle do such a thing?

I got up early in the morning and came to Masami Hirota's residence early to wait.

And then follow Masami Hirota all day, which is basically boring.

Tracking such things is not as fun as imagined, and is actually a very boring act.

There are even times when this quiet routine lasts for ten days, half a month, or even longer.

This is also the difference between a professional detective like Uncle and a detective like Conan.

If you want to change to Conan, you don't have the patience to follow up and investigate for ten days and half a month.

In fact, the uncle didn't want to, after all, it didn't do him any good.

Yes, no good.

Everything human beings do is done because it is good for themselves.

But now, the uncle didn't realize that his current behavior was any good for him.

So intellectually, he wanted to put an end to this senseless behavior.

Recently, the weather has become cooler, and the uncle still wants to lie down in the bed and sleep lazy.

But he said that he was unwilling, but his body was very honest, and he got up early.

What kind of principle is this, the uncle can't say clearly.

I had no choice but to follow the sensations of my body.

Hiding in a corner where almost no one notices, smoking a cigarette and looking at the exit of the apartment where Masami Hirota is.

The angle of view of this corner is not bad, and you can basically see the entrance and exit of the apartment.

And the entrance and exit of the apartment are only over there, so I don't have to worry about missing it.

This is also a place to be thankful, after all, there is only one uncle, and if there are two or more entrances and exits, the uncle will be a little overwhelmed.

He doesn't know the legendary doppelganger technique, and if he really wants to face that kind of situation, he can't do anything.

Maybe I should get an assistant or something.

The uncle who was smoking a cigarette was thinking about such a problem.

But at this stage, I can only think about it.

He didn't have much money himself, and it was difficult to recruit a decent assistant.

If you don't have money, who will do things for you.

"Shhh...... Whew......"

I smoked a cigarette and kept my eyes on the apartment.

Today, Masami Hirota appeared under the apartment building at about the same time as yesterday.

Modern life, the things that are carried out every day, are actually the same.

Repeating the same thing almost every day, because of work, because of life or something.

Want to live your life to the fullest? Want to live your own life?

That's something that only rich people can do, and if you don't have money or power, it's better to move bricks honestly.

He threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stepped on it with his foot.

Then, as if it was a repeat of yesterday, it followed far behind.

……

Xiaolan felt that it was necessary to talk to her uncle.

But the uncle is not at home, so he can only give up.

Originally, she didn't think there was anything, anyway, the office was the uncle's home, and she was not afraid that the uncle would not come back.

But for several days, the uncle really came back after they fell asleep, and ran out before they woke up.

This situation lasted for several days, and even some of the commissions that came to the door could not be followed.

This made Xiaolan realize the seriousness of the problem.

It's really serious, if you don't work anymore, the family will really be about to be unable to open the pot.

Therefore, for the sake of this family, Xiaolan prepared a large pot full of coffee that night and waited for her uncle to come back.

Relying on the stimulation of coffee, this time I finally didn't fall asleep early.

In the dead of night, the night is as cool as water.

It wasn't until about one o'clock in the morning that the door to the room was slowly opened.

In the dim light, a figure walked in.

The light-hearted seem to be afraid of making noise with others, and those who don't know think they're thieves.

But Xiaolan knows that this is her father.

"Dad, why did you come back so late?"

“？！”

The uncle who had just entered the door was startled.

turned on the light, looked at it, and found that it was Xiaolan, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lan, don't you sleep so late? Go back to sleep. ”

With that, with a tired look, he closed the door and stood there changing his shoes.

Xiaolan ran over directly and helped him bring his slippers.

Xiaolan is not stupid, and she can also see the tiredness of her uncle.

After all, I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep for several days, and I basically only sleep for two or three hours these days.

"Dad, what the hell have you been up to lately?"

"Ah, nothing, just a ...... It's just a commission that needs to be followed up and investigated, and this kind of commission is the most troublesome. ”

The uncle shook his head as he spoke, as if he was helpless.

It is indeed very troublesome to commission a follow-up investigation.

Of course, the general follow-up investigation is basically an affair, investigating someone else's identity and address, and so on.

Now what the uncle is doing is a bit out of the ordinary category, after all, behind it, there is a huge organization involved.

I don't even know the real name of this organization, Conan and others called this organization the organization in black, and the netizens before the crossing added the name of "winery" to this organization.

Because the backbone members of this organization are all codenamed after wine, such as gin, vodka, Belmode, etc.

Regarding the uncle's statement, Xiaolan has no doubts.

After all, she is the daughter of a detective, and she still knows which commissions are troublesome and which are simple.

And detectives, in fact, have very little contact with those criminal cases, and the most contact is with commissions such as investigating affairs and finding people.

Like an uncle, he will be exposed to so many murders or something, and that is also because of special circumstances.

But it's still a little weird.

"Anyway, why don't I know that you have a commission?"

"You weren't there then."

The uncle was too lazy to say anything, so he casually made an excuse and prepared to take a bath.

When you're tired, take a hot shower and get some good sleep, that's pretty good.

Of course, even if the uncle wants to sleep well, he will continue to follow up and investigate tomorrow, although there is nothing to gain in the past few days.

But if you keep persisting, you might be able to succeed.

Although in this matter, the uncle does not know what the criteria for success are.

Under normal circumstances, Xiaolan would not think about it so much.

The uncle explained, and she believed it.

And for her, the more important thing is not this.

"Dad, Mommy, she ......"

"Lan, it's getting late today, hurry up and go back to rest, I'm going to wash and sleep too."

The uncle directly interrupted Xiaolan's words.

He didn't have to think about it to guess that for Xiaolan, the reunion of her parents is the most important thing at present.

But the uncle didn't think about this.

After all, there is no emotional foundation, although he is Maori Kogoro, he is not Maori Kogoro.

Feelings are not all inherited because they have inherited memories.

I went into the bathroom with a change of clothes, locked the door, and started to put hot water.

Xiaolan didn't go back to rest, but stood outside the door.

"Dad, isn't there any progress in the investigation? If you're too tired, why don't you go with us to the mountains tomorrow to relax, and the garden invites me to play at Suzuki's villa in the mountains. ”

"Just go and do it yourself."

Uncle is not interested in going to play or anything at all.

Of course, it's also because there are still things to do, and if it's normal, of course I don't mind going to play together.

Xiaolan outside wanted to say more, but when she opened her mouth, she finally forgot it.

It's just a little bit of a bad feeling.

The question that came to mind before resurfaced again.

It seems that the uncle and her have really had a lot of life before, although it is still the usual on the surface, but it always feels that something is missing.
