Chapter 68: A Candid Expert
Bai Shu walked on the sidewalk, carrying the briefcase in front of him with one hand, and reaching into the bag with the other, as if rummaging for something, but in fact he kept pinching the camera, and his fingers were already on the shutter.
Across from him, a man and a woman in love walked up slimy, the man was wearing a top hat, the collar of his trench coat was raised high to cover his face, and he was wearing sunglasses and a big beard.
The woman wore a top hat and flat glasses, and the two disguised people leaned intimately together and whispered something.
When passing by, Bai Shu slightly leaned the camera out of the bag, clicked one, and photographed the faces of the two at close range.
The sound of the decoration of the shop next to it covered out the sound of the shutter, and the lovers were unaware.
After walking out of ten meters in the opposite direction, Bai Shu took out the camera to take a look at the shooting effect, and felt that it was okay, and the shooting was quite clear.
At this moment, a sneaky head poked out of the fork in the road, and Mori Kogoro beckoned to him and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”
"Shot the way you said it would!" , Bai Shute handed him the camera for face, not mentioning that Maori Kogoro was almost discovered in his previous tracking, so he had to change his appearance.
"Not bad, not bad." , The photo clearly captured the woman's face, a small mole under the right eye was clearly visible, Maori Kogoro took out a ID photo and compared it, and was overjoyed, "I can finally go on an errand!" ”
- After several previous cases, especially the museum incident, Mori Kogoro's fame has risen. However, most of the cases he receives are still bits and pieces such as investigating affairs.
This time it is also one of them, but the pay is more generous.
After the two went to the photo studio to wash out the photos, they returned to the detective agency and sorted out other relevant information.
Thinking of the considerable income after solving this case, Mori Kogoro was in a happy mood, waved his hand, and said to Xiaolan and Conan, "It just so happens that you don't have classes today, let's go to the restaurant outside!" ”
"Okay!" , Xiaolan thinks it's okay, she doesn't need to cook when she goes out to eat, and she is happy to relax.
Although Conan wanted to read the newly bought mystery novel at home, he was a child and had no right to speak, so he had to go along.
After eating absent-mindedly, he thought he could go home and pounce into the arms of mystery novels, but who wanted Maori Kogoro to turn around and drive the car to a Japanese-style mansion - he was ready to hand in the task by the way.
Conan and Ran had to squat down next to the small pond in the courtyard and watch the goldfish in boredom, while Mori Kogoro and Shiraki went into the main house and gave the information they had collected to the owner of the house.
The owner of the house was a young man in his fifties, named Marudo Jiro, and his wife, Maru, was nearly twenty years younger than him.
Holding the beautiful daily photos of his wife in one hand and the photo handed to him by Maori Kogoro in the other, he didn't want to believe it, and asked aggressively, "The woman in the photo is really my wife?" ”
Bai Shu accurately broke his illusion, "Although she wears makeup and does some masking, the contours of her face are completely correct, and if you look closely at her eyes, the position of the tear mole under her right eye is the same." ”
Marudo Jiro took a few closer looks, and finally gave up the struggle and was completely bald. Originally, he was a super Mediterranean, but now he looks even more overhead, which is very environmentally friendly.
When the other party was sulking, Bai Shu looked at him quietly through the small coffee table, and his hand subconsciously touched his small notebook through his pocket.
Although it's not hot for the time being, the next new soul should be the one opposite.
It took a few minutes for Maruto Jiro to completely digest the fact that he was green, and his attention shifted slightly, "Who is this man in that photo?!" "He's going to hammer this bastard to death!
"Uh......", Maori Kogoro touched the back of his head in embarrassment, the content of the investigation commissioned by Marudo Jiro was whether his wife was having an affair, but he didn't say that he wanted to check the identity of the person who was having an affair, "If you want to know, I'll go back and check again." ”
Marudo Jiro frowned, obviously dissatisfied with this answer, and he was about to say something, when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Maori Kogoro hurriedly changed the subject as if he had been pardoned, "It seems that someone is coming!" ”
“…… Oh yes, besides you, I had two or three other appointments today. He turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard, and saw no one open the door for a long time, so he immediately scolded, "Where did everyone at home go?" Those lazy bones will only touch fish! ”
He scolded halfway, suddenly remembered something, his expression was embarrassed, and he suddenly stopped his mouth.
He didn't mention the others anymore, got up, walked straight to open the door, and turned to Mori Kogoro as he went out, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll take that guest to the private house first, and I'll be back soon." ”
Maori Kogoro nodded bewildermentedly, watching him walk away.
Shiraki knew why there was no one to open the door: Marujiro's wife, Maru, went out on a date early in the morning, and the other servants were transferred by Tojiro himself.
After all, what Mori Kogoro wanted to report was about his wife's affair, and no matter what the outcome was, it would not be easy for the servants to see.
The moment Marudo Jiro walked out, the notebook in Shiraki's pocket was hot, and it seemed that the little old man was about to be arranged.
Maori Kogoro had been sitting for a long time just now, and he was too tired to do it, but now as soon as the master left, he immediately took a cigarette in his mouth and lay down on the couch to rest.
Conan and Xiaolan in the courtyard have been squatting next to the pond, their vision is blocked by a row of gardening trees, and they can only see the feet of people passing by, so now, only Shiraki himself can see Marudonjiro's face.
Seeing that Maru Dojiro walked to the gate and was about to open the door, Shiraki hurriedly lay down.
The guest who came to visit now was the murderer who decided to commit the murder in a moment.
In case when he was about to cut someone, he suddenly remembered that he had been seen by others when he came to visit, and he didn't dare to do it, then the performance point would be deducted again - the mistake of the last time was simply a lesson of blood, and Bai Shu has been trying to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
Maori Kogoro just took a comfortable puff of cigarette, and when he saw that Shiraki was also lying down, he moved to the side to make room for Shiraki, and at the same time sighed, "Young people need to exercise more, how can they feel tired after sitting for so long." ”
"I've just finished work, and I want to relax hahaha." , Bai Shu Hu made up the reason, anyway, Maori Kogoro is just casually talking.
The four of them waited silently for a while, and there was no sign of Tatsujiro, who said "I'll be back soon".
But the phone in the hallway suddenly beeped, and no one answered it, and it rang for a long time.
Maori Kogoro was about to fall asleep, but he was suddenly awakened, he pushed open the door irritably and came to the porch, staring at the phone, "It's noisy, what about people?" Why don't you pick it up! ”
