Chapter 211: Two or Three Things About Detectives
Rice Flower Swimming Pool, a week has passed since the Egg of Memories incident.
I heard that in the end, Chairman Suzuki handed over the egg of memories to Natsumi Kasaka, on the condition that the Yokosuka Castle be handed over to the Suzuki Foundation for tourism development, but the price is not big compared to 800 million.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with him, the only thing to be happy about is that the commission fee he got this time is quite generous, enough to be 5 million, which is one step closer to his money-saving plan, and the firm's funds are nearly 70 million......
Why do you feel that you are quite poor, and there are a lot of them?
"Didn't you come here to learn how to swim?" Xiao Ai walked out of the pool with half-collapsed eyelids, "You've been standing by the pool for hours!" ”
"Huh? Have it? ”
Gao Cheng swallowed, noticed that the people around him had become lively from a few people in the morning, smiled dryly, and carefully squatted down to put his feet into the water.
"This time it must be fine......
Gritting his teeth and grasping the handrail, Gao Cheng's eyes closed, and he plunged into the pool with a pop.
It worked!
"Mom," a child on the other side looked at Gao Cheng curiously, "that brother is also using a swimming ring!" ”
"Don't talk too much!" The young woman hurriedly took the child away.
Gao Cheng jumped with his eyebrows on his face, learning breaststroke with the help of a swimming ring without squinting, paddling on both sides of his arms and kicking his legs and feet.
It's ugly, but now he's not Joto Takanari, but Kudo Shinichi...... No, he's a high school student now, Kuroba Kaito......
At the entrance of the swimming pool, Uncle Maori entered with a reluctant face, followed by Xiaolan and Conan.
"I said there must be a lot of people, right?" The uncle muttered, "It's a crime to come to the swimming pool at this time, I worked all night yesterday, and now I'm tired." ”
"Dad," Xiaolan said unmoved, "It must be playing mahjong all night again, right?" Really, why can't you be like a senior in the city? I heard that tens of millions of dollars have been saved over there, how can there be a financial crisis in our family......"
"Hmph, wait and see, when the horse I bought hits, it's not a problem to have tens of millions, hundreds of millions, haha!"
"Really?"
Xiaolan knew her father's virtues, and looked at it completely coldly: "Don't let our family have another financial crisis, and it's all right." ”
The uncle's words were blocked, his face was dull, and he wondered: "Where did that kid in the city get so much money?" I've worked so hard for so long, and I haven't made much money, right? ”
"Is that the senior over there?" Xiaolan suddenly looked at the pool.
Gao Cheng, who was wearing a swimming ring, was as conspicuous as a light bulb in the crowd......
Uncle Maori followed and looked: "Could it just be someone who is very similar?" How did that kid come here? ”
Xiaolan beckoned happily: "But Xiao Ai is also over there!" Joto senior! Here and here! ”
Gao Cheng had already discovered this family one step in advance, but he was arrested before he could hide, listening to Xiaolan's shouting in his ears, pretending not to hear it and slowly paddling in a circle.
Sure enough, coming to the swimming pool was a bad decision.
Why don't you go back......
……
Downstairs in the Joto Detective Agency, when Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai returned, Manguno came out of the bakery with his tail wagging his tail.
"Sorry, Manguno, I can't take you to the swimming pool."
Gao Cheng rubbed Mangono's dog hair, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
Since adopting Mangono, he has been running outside most of the time, and even when he was in the office, he didn't spend much time with Mangono, and he didn't get close to Mangono for as long as the bakery couple.
"I'm back, Detective Joto," the bakery proprietress followed out of the store, and when she saw Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai, she said kindly, "How are you, are you still having fun in the swimming pool?" ”
"Uh-huh."
Gao Cheng nodded awkwardly and looked at the inside of the bakery suspiciously: "What about Mr. Naoki?" It sounds like I haven't seen him since this morning. ”
The proprietress looked a little unnatural: "My husband, he went to the police station." ”
"Huh?" Gao Cheng looked stunned, "What are you doing at the police station?" Did something happen? ”
"Nothing, just to record a confession." The proprietress barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
"That's right...... I happen to know quite a few police officers who can ask me for help if you need them. ”
Gao Cheng didn't ask much, just called Gao Mu after returning to the office on the second floor.
He's not blind, it's certain that the bakery couple is in trouble, but it's not good to look at the appearance of the proprietress and ask directly, so it's the most appropriate to ask Takagi.
"Well, I'm sorry for you, Officer Takagi."
After a general understanding of the situation, Gao Cheng frowned and hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ai looked at the magazine and said, "Is there any problem?" ”
"It seems that my daughter, who works in the town of Cup, is missing, but after the police investigation, they found that it may just be a game out, the problem is that there has been no news for several days, and it may be that something has happened."
Gao Cheng shook his head.
If the daughter really has a case, I really don't know what will happen to the Naoki couple, but the police have not been able to find it, but it is good news.
"However, if I hadn't asked, I really didn't know that this kind of thing would happen in their family, why hide it when I am a detective?"
"Maybe I'm sorry to trouble you," Xiao Ai glanced at Gao Cheng lightly, "Your detective's commission fee is not cheap, their family only took out a loan to help their daughter buy a house of 40 million yuan last month, how can you have spare money to help?" ”
"Do I look like someone who cares a lot about money?" Gao Cheng pointed to himself.
……
The next day, Xiao Ai went to school early, and after Gao Cheng got up in a daze, he only saw the breakfast prepared as usual on the table.
"Isn't that a bit excessive?" Gao Cheng suddenly thought, "I get up early to go to school every day, and I have to prepare breakfast for me...... A salary increase this month? ”
"Ding Dong!" Before breakfast was finished, the doorbell in the office downstairs began to ring.
Gao Cheng finished the sandwich in one bite, hurriedly opened the door, and unexpectedly saw the bakery owner standing at the top of the stairs with a haggard face, his eyes bloodshot.
"Mr. Naoki? You're ......"
The bakery owner was startled, looked up and saw a chicken coop that seemed to have just gotten up, and subconsciously looked at his watch.
That's right, it's 10 a.m.......
"I'm sorry, Detective Joto," the bakery owner said apologetically, "bothering you?" ”
"It's nothing, I'm just about to go out," Gao Cheng went downstairs to open the office, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Yes," the bakery owner followed into the office, and when he saw that Gao Cheng was going to pour tea, he waved his hand and said, "Don't bother." ”
After a moment's hesitation, the bakery owner took out a banknote wrapped in paper from his bosom.
"I really can't help it, it's been 3 days, and the police haven't been able to find Keiko......"
The bakery owner couldn't help but choke up: "Detective Chenghu, I can only take out the 500,000 for the time being, and I and Uchiko will make up again ...... later."
"No need," Gao Cheng pushed the cash back, "There is no need to charge a commission fee." ”
"But ......"
"Just take care of Mangono's pay, can you tell me what's going on now?"
Gao Cheng's mind thought of Xiao Ai's appearance when he looked at him yesterday.
Of course, working is to make money, but it doesn't mean that he won't help people, and the opportunity to make money is not bad once.
