Chapter 142: The daunting task entrusted to Conan

When the statue was removed, it revealed a box-shaped shape with a small round hole in the middle.

When opened, an envelope was revealed, with the words "Last Words" written on it.

The letter was handed to Naoko for confirmation by its eventual owner.

"All rights to Hirano Onsen are transferred to the favorite daughter of the unrecognized, Akiyoshi Zhuhui."

The date is twenty-four years ago, just after the purchase of the hotel.

In other words, Miki Iya bought and reorganized the hotel that was about to go bankrupt for her sake.

Three years ago, when she saw Naoko who came to the hotel, Miki Iya may have immediately realized that the other party was her daughter.

Since that day, he has been stricter with her than anyone else, in order to train her to be an excellent boss lady.

"Then, at last, it was decided to hand over the inn to you to inherit."

However, Naoko failed to perceive the true meaning of her biological mother.

After being knocked out, Miki Itani tried her last bit to defend her daughter.

When he was in a daze, he used the hot spring to remove Naoko's fingerprints, climbed to the door, and locked it from the inside, creating the effect of a secret room.

Before dying, Miki Iya looked in the direction of the suicide note, thinking about her daughter, and shed tears.

In other words, all this is done by a mother for her beloved daughter.

Naoko pressed the letter to her chest, closed her eyes, smiled, and silently shed a tear.

"For your mother's sake, please come back after atoning for your sins."

It was already dark.

After the incident, Qinghai Chuantang came to the gate, took out the wild goose from his pocket, and threw it in his mouth.

By the way, I took out my phone and began to pay attention to the live news.

"That, sorry. Is Hirano Onsen here? ”

A man with glasses looking at his waist and a tired look on his face asked.

"You are?"

"That, I'm Masaya Taniguchi of Kobe Sightseeing."

"Ya Taniguchi?"

The man in glasses nodded, pointed in the direction he came, and said, "That sign seems to be mistaken." Then I got lost in the mountains, and it was so unlucky. ”

Qinghai Chuantang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.

I'm sorry for you, young man

After fooling the other party into the hotel, Qinghai Chuantang began to browse the news again, and gradually showed an expression as if he had eaten canned herring.

Confused, confused, puzzled, until you doubt life.

"Sister Xiaotang, what are you doing standing here?"

Seeing that she was not in the house, Xiaolan and Yuan felt puzzled, so they searched for it.

Qinghai Chuantang turned his head, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't know how to speak.

So, he handed them his phone.

After taking the phone, Xiaolan and Yuanzi watched the news together, which shocked the other party so much that it was incompatible with words.

Soon, he also made the same reaction as Qinghai Chuantang before.

"World Police Championship Champion Yamamura."

In the competition for the technique of arresting criminals, and the ability to reason, in a world competition sponsored by Interpol.

The mountain village a blind cat and met a dead mouse, successfully won the championship, and became the world's No. 1 criminal policeman.

When Conan heard this, his face became as if he had eaten a bug feast.

After hearing this, Okiya began to fall into deep thought, thinking about the gap between himself and Yamamura.

Then I suddenly realized that I had never seen him at all.

Sometimes, when luck is good enough to a sufficient level, it can be called the luck of luck.

After leaving Hirano Hot Springs, Xiaolan and the others did not go home immediately, but came to the city hall.

The reason for this is that the mayor wants to see Conan.

And the mayor is none other than the "Masayo Taniguchi" he first met when he was in Hirano Onsen before.

"When we first met, I was Mayor Natsuki Taniguchi."

Natsuki Taniguchi smiled and looked at the secretary on the side, "Can you let us talk alone?" ”

"Yes, then I'll take my leave."

It wasn't until the secretary left that Natsuki Taniguchi finally began to explain.

"At that time, everyone regarded me as a 'Ya' person, so there was no refutation."

Conan blinked, a puzzled expression on his face, "Why the hell is that?" ”

Natsuki Taniguchi lifted the red cloth on the table behind him, revealing a lion with two winged eyes and two emerald green gems.

"This is a pure gold artwork that is intended to be given to Singapore as a symbol of a sister city."

Natsuki Taniguchi looked at him, "The author is an artist who currently lives in Fruit, Mr. Cost. ”

Conan suddenly realized, isn't that the same person he met before?

"I went to Ryugu Onsen to make a final confirmation. I really didn't expect to meet Kidd's nemesis there. ”

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, this name is really loud.

"But why, you didn't reveal your identity as mayor at that time?"

Natsuki Taniguchi smiled and took a few steps forward, looking out the window.

"You know what? Fruit is the fourth smallest city in Japan. But why is such a small administrative district so prosperous? ”

"And in such a difficult financial situation, there will be a special budget for the production of gold statues?"

And all of this is related to the fruit gold coin of the seven incredible mysteries of Fruit City, that is, the small judgment that I saw in the hot spring hall before.

As for how many gold coins there are, Natsuki Taniguchi said that it is inconvenient to disclose.

The seven incredible mysteries of Fruit City, let it remain mysterious.

"Actually, I have a request."

Conan blinked, looked around, and then pointed at himself, apparently in disbelief.

Could it be that Kidd is about to appear this time, so please protect the golden statue yourself?

However, I am a black household and do not have a passport

Just as Conan's expression was entangled, Taniguchi Natsuki continued, "I got the news from Interpol that there may be world thieves lurking on the passenger ship that will ship the Golden Statue tomorrow. ”

And this world thief is not referring to the strange thief Kidd.

"But"

Conan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and sneered, "I'm just a kid." Such a task is too arduous, and it also has to go abroad, which is different from the petty fight of the strange thief Kidd. ”

"If you're having a passport problem, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Also, if you have someone you want to bring with you, that's fine. ”

Conan was stunned, how do you know?

Obviously, the fact that he is a black household has been leaked by someone who doesn't know.

After thinking about it, Conan finally chose the other party's request.

Such a trip abroad, in addition to Conan, is naturally indispensable to Xiaolan, Maori Kogoro, and the garden that heard the news and followed it.

After all, with free luxury cruises, as well as grand fireworks and parties, who doesn't want to be impressed?

At night, when I opened the door with the key, I found that the empty room was pitch black, and there was no one in the room.

I pressed the switch, but found that the light did not respond.

Maybe it's broken, or maybe it's just a power outage.

"Bang-"

Just as he was suspicious, a sound similar to a gunshot successfully attracted Okiya's attention.

When he opened his eyes and began to be cautious about his surroundings, something fluttering landed on his head.

This is?

The lights finally came on, and Qinghai Chuantang appeared next to the switch at some point.

β€œhappy surprise!”

"Akai, you shouldn't be scared, right?"

Okiya looked at the ribbons on his body, quite helpless.

"The ribbon is to be put on after the lights are turned on."

Pulling the ribbon off his body, Okiya asked, "Didn't you say that you would come back late today?" ”

"This one"

Qinghai Chuantang smiled a little embarrassedly, "Because I suddenly remembered that I had an agreement with someone." ”

Out of nowhere, a large bouquet of roses was conjured and handed to Okiya.

"Offering my love for ten years."

After Okiya took the rose, he smiled slightly.

But when I looked at Qinghai Chuantang, I always felt that something was wrong.

Conan, who returned to the office, began his own foolishness.

Success convinced Mori Kogoro that it was Mayor Fruit who specially asked him to board the Ichifan to help protect the golden statue.

"Sure enough, this kind of thing still depends on my Maori Kogoro!"

After saying that, Mori Kogoro let out a loud laugh and looked a little carried away.

The laughter resounded in the sky, and the glass of Poirot's coffee shop shattered several times.

The next day, the Maori family boarded the Sail, but did not see the garden coming.

Just as Xiaolan was about to make a phone call and contact the garden to ask if she had overslept, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky, and a girl called and waved at them.

is worthy of being the young lady of the Suzuki family, and her appearances are so gorgeous.

But this also made her finally catch up with Yifan.

It's more like a smaller town than a cruise ship.

Restaurants, shops, entertainment facilities, you name it.

A consumption card is provided, which can be paid by swiping the card, and there is no need to carry any cash along the way.

"Isn't it time for the girls to go on a shopping spree?"

All kinds of new and interesting things are enough to attract the attention of the two little girls.

Just as the garden was about to take Xiaolan to the store, a male voice with joy suddenly appeared and greeted them, "Mr. Maori! I didn't expect to see you here! ”

Yuan Zi and Xiaolan paused, turned their heads a little stiffly, and looked at the man.

That's right, it's Yamamura.

Seeing the two of them react like this, Conan only felt like a sinner now.

Mayor Guoli said that he would ask someone to guard the golden statue. Unexpectedly, it was you, Mr. Maori, what a fate! ”

After putting away his speechless expression, Mori Kogoro coughed lightly.

Just as he was about to ask the phrase "where is the golden statue", suddenly a blonde woman with big waves walked slowly in front of him, sexy and elegant.

That evening dress highlights the figure more exquisitely.

Maori Kogoro's eyes were straight, and his gaze slowly followed her until the other party disappeared into the crowd.

"Daddy!"

Xiaolan clenched her fists, and there was obvious anger on her face.

If she hadn't tried her best to restrain herself, she was afraid that if she smashed it down, the whole ship of 3,000 people would be buried in the sea together.

Mori Kogoro was startled, and couldn't help but take a step back, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Xiaolan, don't get me wrong, I'm just scouting the enemy. I was wondering if that woman could be the world thief. ”
