One day in early spring, next to the Nihonbashi police station in Tokyo, around 9 p.m.

A patrol police officer was standing by the passing traffic, helping passers-by to give directions, when suddenly a man in a suit staggered to the bridge, as if he was drunk.

Because I only see the back, I am not sure of the age, but I should be middle-aged when I look at the hairstyle.

Medium-sized, well-dressed, and dressed in a dark brown suit that looks high-end, probably a big boss who gets drunk on socials......

The patrol watched as the man walked all the way to the unicorn statue in the middle of the Nihonbashi Trail.

It was the two bronze statues of the unicorn with wings back to back that were used to decorate the lampposts, and the man was leaning on the pedestal in a very uncomfortable way.

Shaking his head helplessly, the patrolman followed up on the bridge and asked, "Are you okay?" Drunk? ”

The man struggled to breathe and held on to the stone bridge, his blood-stained hands trembling, and he struggled to hold up a red-dyed white paper crane.

The paper crane blew away with the evening breeze, and the man seemed to have lost all his strength, and a reassuring smile appeared in the painful look on his face, and he suddenly closed his eyes and fell to the ground, with a dagger stuck in his abdomen, and the blood stained a dazzling red on the white shirt.

"Hey!" The patrol was startled, and quickened his pace to the front, looking at the man's abdomen with a trembling voice.

"Emergency call! I'm Yasuda, and I've had an injury incident...... In front of the Nihonbashi unicorn statue, ask for an ambulance to come to the scene for support! ”

……

Joto Detective Agency, Maid Cafe.

Gao Cheng sat comfortably by the window, sipping hot coffee while reading the newspaper,

"I'm Takasei Shiroto, I'm a detective, and I usually work hard to accept commissions, but I always can't make money for various reasons......"

"Recently, I had to re-take the case of investigating the affair, and the economic situation has finally improved a little."

"Being seen like this, in fact, I am also the owner of a luxury mansion, yes, it is the original Dusk Annex Karasuma Renya Mansion, now renamed the Joto Mansion, although it looks like a haunted house on the outside, it has also left historical bloodstains inside, and many people have died...... But the whole annex is actually painted with gold ......"

"What? Of course, it is not a villa made of gold, not to mention whether there is so much gold, and gold itself is not good for building that kind of magnificent villa...... Overall, however, the actual value of the Joto Mansion is still worth hundreds of billions of yen......"

"This is me, a detective with a huge amount of hidden wealth, so the usual hard life is not a ......"

Gao Cheng flipped through the pages of the newspaper and looked at the Nihonbashi murder incident, which occupied half of the page, and the incident that happened only yesterday was published in the newspaper early in the morning, and it was clear that the police had not yet announced the specific news......

It's really a world with a lot of cases.

"Yes, this is the world of Conan, although I usually do boring work, but I often encounter bloody murders, and I can't remember how many cases I have participated in so far......"

"The motive is nothing more than revenge, fame or affection, a sick world that has no idea how much impact a murder can have......"

"My ambition is to become the number one detective in the world, even though I've always been active in Japan...... Sometimes I also get bored with the right and wrong in the detective industry, especially revenge killing, who is right and who is wrong, what is good and what is evil...... Who knows? ”

"There are many people who think they are revenge and finally find out that it is a misunderstanding, such as the Suzumori Xiaomi of the ski club, and those who are lost in violence and fall into the devil, such as the guard who committed crimes because his son was hit by a car, and even the innocent garden was almost implicated......"

"At least modern is a legal society, and if everyone ignores the law, God knows what the world will look like......"

"It's like banning guns, while you can shoot others with a gun, it also means that countless people can aim their guns at themselves, and it's even more unlucky to meet a madman who shoots on the street......"

Gao Cheng leaned back on the seat, sniffed the coffee with enjoyment, and secretly poured all four pieces of creamer into it.

Refreshing!

"Every time I just drink like this, I don't have any worries......"

"Smack!" A small hand suddenly reached out in front of Gao Cheng and took the coffee in Gao Cheng's stunned gaze.

"Castle," Ashbara asked, putting the coffee aside with a small face, bracing his waist, "I say, where the hell did you get so much creamer?!" ”

"This ......" Gao Cheng smiled dryly in a cold sweat, "Xiao Ai, don't you want to settle accounts?" ”

"It's already sorted out."

Gray Yuan pressed a stack of documents in front of Gao Cheng.

"Taxes and living expenses are fine, but you still have to decide the rest of the expenses......

"Other expenses?" Gao Cheng was stunned, "Is there anything else?" ”

"The car rental company sent a compensation letter, including a total of 300,000 ...... for car repairs"

"Why are there so many?!"

Gao Cheng stared at the bill.

Yes, Xiao Ai did bump a lot along the winding road to the gas station, and even the car door was gone......

It's acceptable to think that Uncle Maori's car was blown up directly.

"Is there anything else besides this?"

"Tottori Prefecture says you need to pay for the reconstruction of that wooden bridge......"

"What else?" Gao Cheng is a little shorter.

"Don't you leave such a big villa alone? Housekeepers and maids don't say, maintenance is always needed, right? Gray Yuan glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to run around to check it often, you also need to install a phone...... To be honest, I really don't know why you want to buy that villa, except for the price, it's nothing else, it's far and remote, and that place is ......."

"Any questions?" Gao Cheng was a few points shorter.

"It's nothing," Gray Yuan paused and looked away, "Anyway, it's better to sell that villa, then it won't be so hard." ”

"Xiao Ai," Gao Cheng's face became solemn, put down the bill, stood up and looked at the crowd outside the window, "I can't sell it for the time being, at least until the treasure of the century can be exposed......

"Treasure of the century?" Gray Yuan sighed in confusion.

"That annex is worth hundreds of billions, and although it can't be opened yet, one day I will expose it to the sun and become a real twilight annex."

Gao Cheng clenched his fists and smiled at the confused Gray Yuan: "When the time comes, the Chenghu Mansion may become a world-renowned building." ”

Gray Yuan looked at Gao Cheng quietly for a while, then turned his head and said, "Whatever you want...... But shouldn't you think of something about these expenses? ”

"Money," Gao Cheng looked at the stack of bills and said distressedly, "Pay off the debt first, the rest can only be delayed for a while, and then talk about it when I have money." ”

That's the worry of being an adult......

"Dididi!"

Gao Cheng's hand in his arms suddenly vibrate.

"Hey...... Yesterday's case? Is it in the past now? Good...... I know. ”

Hanging up the phone, Gao Cheng reluctantly turned to Gray Yuan: "It's something again, I'll go out for a while first...... By the way, are you going to a pottery class in the afternoon? ”

"Hmm."

"Then I'll accompany you over in the afternoon......"

"No need," Gray Yuan shook his head and picked up the bill, "I'm not a child, just go by yourself, hurry up and go to work." ”

Gao Cheng sweated slightly on his forehead.

At least the body is a child......

"Then contact me if you have any questions."
