It happened about two weeks ago.

On that day, Sugawara was passing by a jewelry store, and she was looking for a ring for her daughter, and she was fascinated by the various expensive jewelry on the display case outside the door. Just as she was hesitating whether to go inside or not, a young man came up to talk.

The man named Aoki Masao was dressed in a formal suit, and judging from the crinkled neckline, spotless, and shiny leather shoes, he seemed to be some young and promising company executive. The warm smile on his face doesn't look like a person with bad intentions.

Seeing the sad look on Ms. Sugawara's face, he walked over humbly and shyly and said, "I'm sorry to talk to you suddenly, my name is Aoki." ”

When she turned around suspiciously and looked at Aoki, he said again, "That's the case, my mother is going to have a birthday in a few days, and I want to give her a piece of jewelry without her." But I don't know what kind of jewelry they like at that age. I just saw that you seem to want to go in and have a look, so can you help me with a reference? ”

After saying this, Aoki's face gradually turned slightly red, and he rubbed his hands nervously.

In the eyes of others, this is a shy and simple big boy.

Seeing him like this, his original personality was more cowardly, and he didn't say much, and Sugawara Juanzi, who was embarrassed to refuse others, nodded and agreed.

The roof and counter of the jewelry store are decorated with different lamps, and the light converges to illuminate the entire storefront. The various jewels placed in the display stand are even more dazzling and dazzling.

As soon as Aoki entered, he said to the counter lady, "Because of my mother's birthday, I want to buy her a ring." As he spoke, he looked at Sugawara behind him.

Sugawara was still quite far away from him, so he didn't think about it that much, just nodded politely to the counter lady.

"I see." The counter lady smiled and took out a few batches of freshly placed displays in front of Aoki.

Aoki casually picked up one of the largest carat diamond rings, walked up to Sugawara's side and asked, "What do you think of this?" ”

Sugawara just praised it from the bottom of his heart: "It's so beautiful~"

At this time, Aoki walked back to the counter and said to the counter lady, "I want to carefully observe whether such a large diamond ring is genuine in the natural light at the door." I don't know if it's okay? ”

The counter lady thought for a while, nodded and agreed.

"You wait for me here." When passing through Sugawara, Aoki still said so gentlemanly.

But after Masao Aoki left the store with the diamond ring, he never returned.

The waitress at the counter who waited silently felt a little strange for the next fifteen minutes. Said to Sugawara Juan, "Your son is really slow." ”

"Son?" Sugawara asked rhetorically, and then he understood the whole thing.

The reason why the counter lady promised him to observe the diamonds in front of the store was that she and he were mother and son.

"I see...... Amuro listened to her story, and a line of sharpness and seriousness flashed in his eyes. It was the use of people's subjective assumptions to deceive the clerk. ”

"The police thought I was in cahoots with that man, and I couldn't testify against him with my own mouth. For it is true that I assisted him in defrauding. ”

"So what? You were forced to pay the price of the ring to that store, three million? Gao Yue asked.

"That's right......" Sugawara's voice began to be low, and her face darkened.

Sugawara was silent, Amuro was thinking, and Satsuki didn't know what to say.

The room was dead silent.

After a while, Amuro picked up the cup of tea brought by Gao Yue in front of him and drank it all. The cup was no longer warm, and the coolness felt even more bitter.

He spoke, "Okay, Ms. Sugawara, I'll help you with this." But you can't tell anyone about looking for me, or you'll get in trouble for our detective agency. ”

"Are you really willing to help me?" Sugawara shook Amuro's hand excitedly, but after a while, the light in her eyes dimmed again. She muttered softly, "In that case, the commission fee ......"

"Look at it, I won't charge you more." Toru Amuro immediately answered, "This matter will be solved for you in half a month." ”

When Sugawara left the office with the front foot, Satsuki complained on the back foot: "You just promised her like this?" But we don't know the background of that Aoki Masao at all, and we don't know if he was disguised at the time, and we don't know if his name is true or not. ”

"So~" Amuro smiled, dangling a finger in front of Satsuki and standing up suddenly. "That's what I asked you for."

Amuro has been following Hoshino Satsuki all these days, and not only does he know that she is an agent of the FBI's intelligence team, but even Mori Kogoro's office is in charge of her. He dared to conclude that this time Satsuki would definitely be able to find out Aoki's true identity and know his whereabouts.

Only then did Gao Yue realize that Mao Lilan always said that he was near the office, and it seemed that someone was staring here.

Now it doesn't seem to be a "naughty ghost", but a nasty ghost doing such a boring thing.

She was a little angry: "Wouldn't it be too unkind for you to let me investigate your own next case?" ”

Amuro countered, "Since you are my assistant, you can't complain. Besides, this little thing is simply too simple for you, isn't it? ”

She was speechless when she said this.

She stared straight at Amuro's smiling, smug expression for a long time before she crossed her arms and hugged them to her chest angrily. He snorted heavily.

A delicate crescent moon hung on the tip, and the moonlight shone through the leaves and sprinkled on the ground covered with a layer of silver frost. The pool at Hoshino Mansion glowed blue in the moonlight, and Satsuki walked to the bench by the pool alone with her laptop in her hand to rest.

She placed the computer on her lap, her fingers flicking back and forth on the keyboard, staring at the screen against the silver light.

Because Toru Amuro is a character who only appeared in more than 700 episodes, there is no record on the Internet about his time as a private detective. Nothing is known about the cases he has solved.

In this way, the prisoner named Aoki Masao needs to investigate a little bit by himself.

Gao Yue had no choice but to take on this case, so she couldn't be interested. She just casually mentioned a few keywords in the search bar, looked up reports of jewelry scams, and yawned from time to time.

According to the search results, there were more than 1,000 jewelry scams in Japan this year, including more than 50 cases in the area from Tokyo rice flower to Nishiki.

Among the more than 50 cases, there are more than 20 cases where Aoki is mentioned. It seems that he is not only a veteran, but also often commits crimes.

"Aoki ...... Zhengnan ......" Gao Yue typed these words casually again.

The name Masao Aoki can be found everywhere in Japan, and there are many duplicate names. And the prisoner is likely to be under a false name, so Satsuki doesn't have much hope.

When the search results came out, there was no record of the jewelry incident involving the name Masao Aoki. Instead, there is a man named Masao Aoki, who is a gemstone connoisseur.

"Masao Aoki...... Masao Aoki? Gao Yue's eyes lit up.

In Japanese, both Masao and Masao are pronounced Ma-sa-o

"Do you mean ......?"
