Wright told Zero roughly what had happened.

Yesterday evening, Wright went to Ayari's law firm, only to find that Chihiro Ayari had been killed in the office, while Chihiro's sister Maya Ayari was curled up and shivering. When the police arrived, they found Chihiro holding a note in her right hand with the words "マヨイ (Maya)" written in blood, so the police took it as a death message left by the victim and arrested Maya as a suspect. It can be said that this death information is too crucial, and Maya happened to be at the scene when the body was found, so the police have basically concluded the case after doing a preliminary investigation.

In fact, even if Wright doesn't say this, Zero roughly knows that she has played "Reversal Referee" several times in her previous life, and she still knows a lot about the murder of Chihiro Ayari.

"When will the court be held?" Zero remembers that after Maya's arrest, it didn't take long for the trial to begin.

"Ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Ten o'clock tomorrow morning," the corners ......of Zero's eyes twitched, "It's four o'clock in the afternoon, do you want me to find out the so-called real murderer in one night?" ”

Wright knew it was embarrassing, so he was embarrassed and said, "I hope you can do your best." ”

Of course, Zero Zi knows that the real murderer is Xiaozhongda (surname Xiaozhong, name Da), but even so, there must be a process of investigation, and the collection of evidence or something has to be done step by step, so that he will not run directly to the other party and say to him, "You are the murderer". Although Zero has a general direction of investigation, one night is too short.

And the most important question is......

"Mr. Wright, since you have commissioned me, the commission fee ...... I'll charge you 100,000 yen, how? ”

If Zero takes the initiative to intervene in a certain case, or suddenly encounters a case while staying in such and such a place like Mori Kogoro, then it is his responsibility to work hard to solve the case, and naturally he will not collect money. However, for a door-to-door commission like Wright Longyi, it is the right thing to do to collect the commission fee. If I want to waive the commission fee for Wright today because he is the protagonist of another work, then there may be people who will ask for free commissions or reduced commission fees in the future. Although I can still receive living expenses from my parents, I still have to rely on this detective agency to support myself when I become an adult, so the commission fee is indispensable.

And the 100,000 yen offer I gave to Wright was already very cheap.

You must know that the profession of detective is difficult to get a job, and others usually encounter a case and go directly to the police, so the detective is usually responsible for the kind of things that the police are not very good at (such as finding lost pets, investigating cheating, etc.), difficult incidents that the police can't solve, or incidents that are inconvenient to be handed over to the police because they involve personal secrets.

However, even if ordinary people encounter these incidents, most of them will give up directly, and most of the people who come to entrust detectives are people with a certain status. Therefore, it is very rare for detectives to receive a job, if the economy is good, they can receive a commission almost a week, and if the economy is bad, it is not uncommon to have no job for a month, so the commission fee is generally relatively high. After all, if the commission fee is not high, then most of the detectives are really going to drink the northwest wind, so it is better to change careers to move bricks.

For most common jobs such as finding cats and dogs, the commission fee is at least 25,000 yen, and if the breed is extremely expensive, the commission fee must be doubled. For commissions such as investigating an affair, the commission fee starts at 70,000 yen. As for homicide investigations, it is normal to charge a commission fee of 200,000 or 300,000 yen, and large firms will even charge a price of more than 500,000 yen.

Zero had already considered that Wright should be in a relatively poor state at this time, so the offer price of 100,000 yen was already very low.

Wright muttered when he heard Zero's offer, "Is there a charge for that too?" ”

When Zero heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and his face was displeased: "Mr. Wright, did you go to the Maori Detective Agency before you came here?" ”

"Ah...... Kim, Miss Kaneda, how do you know? Wright was completely unaware of the flaw in his words, and looked at Zero in surprise.

However, this Miss Kaneda Ichiko is really powerful, and she can even guess the fact that she has been to a Maori detective agency, so she may be able to investigate the truth of the incident. Unlike the Maori detective, although famous, he looks silly, which makes people suspect that he is a parallel detective who does not live up to his name.

Zero went on to ask, "What is the price offered by the Maori detective?" ”

"200,000 yen, to be honest, I can't come up with that much money right now...... And when I told the Maori detective about the case, he also thought that Maya was undoubtedly the murderer, and advised me not to make unnecessary efforts. ”

"So you got discouraged with the Maori detective and came to me?"

"There was a kid named Conan Edogawa who kept trying to persuade the Mori detective to take the commission, but he was beaten by the Mori detective. Then Conan's child gave me the address here, suggested that I come here to entrust, and said that there may be no charge here. ”

Conan has learned to blame himself for the trouble, and that's it, he even claims that there is no commission fee here? The stinky little kid probably wasn't beaten enough by Maori Kogoro, and it seems that the next time I see him, I'll have to beat him up.

While Zero was thinking, the doorbell rang again. Zero apologized to Wright and went to open the door.

When I opened the door, there was no one in front of me, and when I looked down, I saw that it was Conan's small figure.

Without saying a word, he smashed his fist directly on the top of Conan's head.

"Sister Zero, why are you beating people?" Conan didn't expect Zero to move rough as soon as they met, and hugged his head and shouted.

"I'm sorry, but there's a mosquito on your head." Zero said nonsense with his eyes open.

Conan gave a blank look, who are you fooling, you beat mosquitoes at home with your fists?

Zero asked Conan, "What are you doing at my house?" ”

"Of course I'm here to study the case, that Mr. Wright has already arrived."

I see, it seems that Conan was interested in the murder of Chihiro Ayari, but Kogoro Maori didn't accept it, so he introduced Wright to himself, and he could run over to join in the fun.

Cut, you guy is spreading rumors that I offer free services here, so will I, a cautious person, let you join in the fun?

"What case is the child studying, hurry up and go back, otherwise Xiaolan will be worried again." Zero raised his face and taught Conan a lesson, and then closed the door directly, leaving Conan alone and messy outside the door with a confused face.

Conan felt that Zero must know his true identity, but he deliberately didn't play with himself, and he wanted to shout at this time: "I'm Shinichi Kudo!" Let me go in and solve the case! ”

But after taking a few deep breaths, he gave up on the idea and continued to ring the doorbell.

Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Ding Dong -

Rang the doorbell a dozen times in a row, and then Conan ran away. Didn't you say I'm a child, it's normal for a child to play a prank and ring the doorbell a few times!

By the time Zero opened the door angrily, Conan had already run more than a dozen meters with his short legs.

With a speed of less than 100 meters and 11 seconds, if you want to chase a primary school student, you will definitely be able to catch up, but why bother with that effort? I saw that she took out her mobile phone and took a picture of Conan's back, and then sent it to Xiaolan, with a text message attached, telling Xiaolan that Conan was playing a prank in front of her house.

Imagining Conan's return to the Maori Detective Agency and being scolded by Ran with her ears pinched, Zero returns to the living room with a smile.

"Miss Kanedaichi, just now?" When Zero returned to the living room, Wright asked.

"It's just a prank on the other kids, don't care."

"Then the matter of the commission fee ......"

"As I said, 100,000 yen. It's already quite cheap, and if you go to all the detective agencies in Japan, you will never find a second one that offers such a cheap price. And my level is very high, as long as the person really wasn't killed by Miss Maya Ayasato, then I will definitely return her innocence. ”

"But I don't have that much money now, I can only make up 50,000 at most......" Wright didn't say anything in the second half of the sentence, if he took out the 50,000, he would only have to eat instant noodles for a while in the future......

Zero knew that Wright was poor at this stage, but he didn't expect it to be so poor. After thinking for a moment, Zero said to Wright, "If you think it's okay, you can make an IOU, and when you have the money, you can come back to pay the 100,000 yen, and I won't charge you interest." Of course, it's best not to drag on for too long, just half a year. ”

Zero is not in a hurry to use the money now, after all, there are still more than 20 million in the bank, and the Harvest Walk commission fee is just out of necessary rules.

Wright agreed to Zero's proposal and wrote an IOU.

After writing the IOU, Wright said, "Miss Kaneda, can I go investigate?" ”

Zero gave Wright a blank look: "Don't worry, I'll have to wait until I'm done with dinner." Of course, if you want to have dinner, I can agree. ”

Financially strapped Wright naturally had no objection to being able to eat, but when dinner was served, Wright was dumbfounded.

Dinner at Zero and Er San was a bowl of rice, a saury, a bowl of miso soup, and a plate of stir-fried crab-flavored mushrooms.

In front of him was a bowl of rice, a bowl of miso soup, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.

Isn't this a big difference in treatment?

"That ......," Wright said to Zero.

"What's wrong? Any questions? Wright who owes 100,000 yen in debt? ”

"No, nothing......" Wright shut up in time.

Forget it, be content, at least there is rice, vegetables, soup, what is not satisfied......

However, two or three were very sensible, and seeing that Wright was pitiful, he gave him the tail part of his saury.

Wright looked at the fishtail that was caught in his bowl and said "thank you" to him, but why did his expression and tone seem to become more sad......?
