Chapter 49: It would be terrible to be contaminated with the Grim Reaper's physique
After the end of the campus festival of Didan University, Gao Cheng just got together with his classmates for a while and then returned to his detective life.
After all, he is now a social person, and he has to think about making money and realizing his dream of being a detective, and he can no longer enjoy ordinary campus life like these peers.
During this time, I worked hard to maintain a deposit of about 1.9 million yen, and I don't seem to spend much money on a regular basis, but I still feel like I don't have enough money.
He used the deposit to exchange it three more times, and after getting a medical card and a car driving card, the third time he was empty, and the deposit instantly dropped to 1.6 million, which made him feel distressed.
However, considering the relationship between work, Gao Cheng still reluctantly took out 20,000 yen to buy a bicycle, which is not too expensive but not cheap, just enough for him to use, and can save a lot of money on the road.
Speaking of the case entrusted by Twilight before, the fare has not been reimbursed, if it weren't for the fact that the case was conducive to fame and the relationship with the police, he really wanted to exchange the prestige value.
On this day, Gao Cheng was invited to a client's birthday party, and he took care of it early in the morning and went out on his bicycle.
The reason why he is so cautious is mainly because the customer is not small, and it is the only daughter of the president of the large company Mitsui Group, Reika Mitsui, who gave him 400,000 yen just to find a dog, which is his biggest business recently.
Of course, he will not slack off on the invitation of key customers, this kind of rich person is worth his usual work for a long time, and he is basically entrusted with a fixed detective, and there are many opportunities for cooperation.
"Whew!" It wasn't until the evening that Gao Cheng panted and rode his bicycle to a mountain villa, rich people seem to like to build villas in this kind of deep mountains, Suzuki Sonoko's house last time was like this, and it was tiring to come once.
I knew that I would have taken a ride directly......
Seeing the rows of luxury cars parked in front of the villa, Gao Cheng wiped his sweat, consciously parked his bicycle in the woods, thought about it and locked it on a tree trunk.
Although no one may be able to take a fancy to his bicycle, it is still important to pay attention to it, and it costs 20,000 yuan to buy it.
"Miss Lihua, happy birthday!"
At night, the luxury villa is brightly lit, and many celebrities gather, and the stars surround Sijing Lihua, the daughter of the president of Sijing Group, like the moon.
As the protagonist of the banquet, this young lady wore a red veil, a red and black dress and expensive jewelry, and the whole person was full of brilliance, which was the unique focus of the venue.
Gao Cheng glanced at the gorgeously dressed Shijing Lihua in the crowd, and did not come over like everyone else, but took the opportunity to eat and drink in the corner.
He wasn't a big player anyway, and the food at the party was far more than what he usually ate, almost all of which were dishes that he could only eat in high-end restaurants, and he basically didn't eat them.
After burping in enjoyment, Gao Cheng's face flushed slightly and tasted the high-end red wine.
It just so happened that he had been riding for half a day, and he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it......
“Happy birthday to you!”
The blessings of the villa venue came and went, and the four wells Lihua smiled lightly and blew out the twenty-four birthday candles in one breath under the crowd watching, and suddenly there was another burst of applause.
"Happy birthday, Lihua!" President Sijing happily walked to his daughter's side, and the guests around him smiled kindly, "Today, for Little Girls' Day, I am really grateful to be able to invite you all the way to this villa to celebrate her!" In the future, I would like to ask for your support for the Yotsui Group! ”
In the applause of everyone, President Sijing paused, clapped his hands and said, "Then, before everyone has a good conversation, I would like to introduce you to a special guest today!" ”
"Special guests?" The guests talked one after another, and they didn't know who the president of Shijing had invited.
"This gentleman has solved a lot of tricky cases," President Yotsui continued, looking for Gao Cheng in the crowd, "He is the current detective with a reporting rate second only to Mori Kogoro, the modern left character - Joto Takasei!" Eh...... What about Joto-kun? Detective Joto! ”
"Huh? Is the detective here too? The guests' eyes followed with curiosity.
"It seems to be a famous ...... lately"
Gao Cheng's movements paused, he didn't expect to suddenly mention him, so he quickly wiped his mouth and met everyone's eyes embarrassedly: "Ha, hello everyone." ”
"He's the detective? Younger than in the newspapers! ”
"It's really similar to that high school detective!"
"Didn't you say you had a wooden knife or something?"
"To be honest," President Yotsui also felt embarrassed when he saw the surprised looks of the guests, and then smiled, "Just before Joto-kun did the little girl a big favor......
"No, nothing." Gao Cheng hurriedly interrupted President Sijing's words.
The so-called big job is to find a dog, although it is also his job, but it always feels strange to say it in public.
President Shitsui, as the person in charge of a large group company, will not be without eyes, and smiled: "Anyway, let's have fun next." ”
At the time of the party, Shijing Lihua walked to the vicinity of Gao Cheng, along with a few young people who circled around the eldest lady.
"Hello, Detective Joto," a young man wearing glasses took the initiative to hand over his business card and exclaimed happily, "My name is Takashi Ichieda, and it is such an honor to meet you, a famous detective, today......
"That's right, the legendary detective is so young, it's really a young man," the elegant man with dyed blonde hair next to him, Nikaido Yuji, answered the compliment, he looked back at Reika Shitsui who was chatting with a group of girls, and deliberately raised his voice, "No wonder Miss Lihua chose you to help!" ”
"Are you two finished? The net will be there to meet and pat the sycophants! Takuya Mifune, a handsome man with long hair and dark skin, snorted softly, and his gaze swept over the two young men who admired him and fell on Gao Cheng, "They just want to shoot Miss Lihua's ass, it's ridiculous if you, the so-called detective, are really serious." ”
"Mifune ......"
"Isn't it? The detective you're talking about is just a little ghost. ”
Ignoring the annoyed looks of the two Nikaido, Mifune smiled and turned to Osamu Gojo next to him and asked, "Do you think so too, a top student who graduated from Todai?" ”
"yes, I thought it was the famous Mori Kogoro who came over...... He is still far from Kogoro Maori. ”
The person who was questioned was twenty-four-year-old Osamu Gojo, the general manager of the trading company, who was not tall, and although he wore a parted hair and a suit and tie, he still looked like an ordinary college student.
"Moreover, he is different from the left text I imagined." Gojo Shu glanced at Gao Cheng in disappointment.
"I'm really sorry then......" Gao Cheng's face collapsed, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
What kind of people are these, actually saying bad things in front of others.
Besides, where is he worse than Maori Kogoro, that guy is just a raunchy middle-aged uncle, most of the time he is confused, and he was erected at a class reunion a few days ago, and he was not anesthetized by Conan and solved the case.
"Don't say that," Ichaeda said with a sneer, "Since Miss Lihua asked Detective Joto for help, of course it makes sense!" ”
"Hmph," Mifune turned to look at Yotsui Reika disapprovingly, "I don't know if the Joto detective you said is also playing with Lihua's idea, because as long as he can marry Lihua, he will be the next president of the Yotsui Group." ”
When the group heard this, their faces all changed, and they did not speak again with a calm face.
Gao Cheng shuddered, and continued to destroy the food on the table by himself.
The atmosphere seems weird, but fortunately Conan is not here, otherwise there will be some mess if it is not good, even if he wants to become the world's No. 1 detective, he doesn't want to die wherever he goes.
