Chapter 74

In Tottori County, Xiao Yu and the others followed the middle-aged woman to her home, which is not luxurious, an ordinary house, which is clean from the outside, and the economic conditions of this family are average.

After the middle-aged woman made tea for the group, she began to talk about what she wanted to entrust.

"My name is Maki Amamiya, my husband has been dead for many years, my daughter Sarina got married two years ago and married a man named Shida Hanao, and then our contact gradually became less, although my daughter and son-in-law often come to see me, but the relationship has faded This is true."

"Sarina was pregnant half a year ago, quit her job, and concentrated on preparing for labor at home, but a week ago, Yu Shang went home and found that Sarina was missing, and there was no news, after calling the police, although the police were looking very carefully, but there is no news at all until now, I am really anxious, I heard that the Maori detective you arrived at the Spider Mansion, so I specially went to invite you over."

"Maori detective, please help me no matter what, find my daughter, I really can't lose her!"

Seeing Mrs. Amamiya pleading like this, Maori Kogoro naturally couldn't say half a word: "Thanks to Mrs. Amamiya's promotion, I don't dare to guarantee anything, I can only say that I will do my best, but, madam, there are some things I have to say in the front, if I have been missing for more than three days and have not heard from me, many times...... We all have to be mentally prepared. ”

Mrs. Amamiya nodded, the police had already said this, and she was mentally prepared.

Mori Kogoro pondered for a while and asked, "Lady Amamiya, the last person to meet Ling Yuan was her husband, Shida Yushang, right?" ”

Amamiya nodded: "Hi, but the police questioned him, and he didn't know where Sarina was at all." ”

"Then with all due respect, Shida Yushang is the most suspicious now, I want to ......"

"It shouldn't be, Yu Shang was on a business trip at the time and left three days ago, and after that, there were neighbors who saw Sarina go to a convenience store, so it wouldn't be Yu Shang who hid Sarina, these police have confirmed."

Xiao Yu and Conan glanced at each other, yes, the most direct clue disappeared, and this matter was not easy to handle.

Mori Kogoro made a wrong reasoning, a little embarrassed, scratched his hair and said, "Okay, then I'll start investigating now." ”

"Mr. Maori, how much is the detective fee?" Mrs. Amamiya asked a little panicked, the cost of hiring a detective, especially a famous detective like the sleeping Mori Kogoro, is not a small amount.

"I'll talk about this later, the main task now is to find people first." Maori Kogoro said with a wave of his hand.

"Well, I'll leave everything to you."

Xiao Yu and Conan looked at the environment of the house, looked at each other and nodded, silent.

……

After leaving the Amamiya house, Mori Kogoro remained silent, apparently thinking about the direction of the investigation.

Xiaolan has relatives: "Mrs. Amamiya is so pitiful, she lost her husband first, and her only daughter is missing, Dad, you must find someone!" ”

Maori Kogoro scratched his head in annoyance: "I know, I know, you first take the two little ghosts to the hotel to open a room and rest down, don't hinder my work." ”

"No, we're going to go too!" ＊３

Mori Kogoro was startled, and the cigarette in his mouth was almost scared.

"What are you going to do, don't come here and make trouble for me." Maori Kogoro waved his hand, looking impatient.

"We're going too, maybe we can help you find some clues, uncle." Conan hurriedly said.

Xiaolan glanced at Conan and turned her head into a rattle, obviously, not only did not dispel Conan's suspicion that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, but deepened it more and more.

Xiao Yu was silent, the meaning was already self-evident.

Kogoro scratched his head: "It's really, troublesome, don't disturb my work, otherwise I'll fuck off." ”

Having said that, the eyes that swept over Conan and Xiao Yu had a slightly different kind of deep meaning.

Xiao Yu and Conan pretended not to see it, and they all smiled, deliberately dragging their tones long: "Hey! ”

Walking towards the house of Shida Yushang and his wife, Xiaolan asked with some doubts, "Do you want to go directly to their house?" Don't you need to go to the Tottori Prefectural Police to check? ”

Kogoro extinguished the cigarette butt and said with a grin, "It's useless, the Tottori prefectural police won't cooperate with us." ”

"Huh? Why is this happening? Xiaolan was a little puzzled.

Xiao Wulang was silent, he didn't want to explain the doorway to his daughter, but Xiao Yu took over the words: "This case itself is very troublesome, and the police must be at a loss, and the police must be throwing it around at this time, so as not to take responsibility for the accident in the end, but the police will never throw this hot potato to a detective at this time, even if it is smashed in the hand." ”

"In fact, detectives themselves are a gray industry, and they have been on the edge of the law, and the police themselves are very unhappy with detectives, and Uncle Maori is like a fish in water in Tokyo because he has the identity of a former criminal policeman, and he has a good relationship with officials like Matsumoto Police and the Twilight Police Department, so that his uncle will not be disgusted by the police."

"And this is not Tokyo, the Tottori police and my uncle are not familiar with each other, even if the police are willing to cooperate, it is also Uncle Maori, as one of the parties, has the right to know the truth, otherwise the detective will not give the uncle a good face when he intervenes in the case in the hands of the police, and it is not impossible to end up shutting the door, so instead of wasting time seeking the cooperation of the police, it is better to seize the time to investigate."

Conan and Xiaolan were stunned for a moment when Xiao Yu said this, they didn't think that there were so many Taos in it at all.

Conan is even more staggering, he used to solve the case, but he only felt that the police especially needed him, so he didn't care about it, and he didn't realize that if his father wasn't Yusaku Kudo, he would have been listed as the most annoying character by the criminal police.

Maori Kogoro glanced at Xiao Yu, didn't make a sound, didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's the matter, aren't you all hurrying up to find Miss Sarina, it's about a life." Xiaolan can't understand these at all, you look at it horizontally and vertically, everyone's starting point is the same, why can't they cooperate?

Xiao Yu shook his head: "This involves the relationship between the self-interest of the police, the police to put it bluntly, that is, civil servants, they solve the case, but also to support the family, the crime solving rate and word of mouth, but also the ladder to climb up, more directly, it is related to the bonus next month, if the detective solves the case, the credit will not be counted on the head of the police, and in the end it will end up with an incompetent label." ”

"But Officer Twilight doesn't think so, don't they always involve my dad in solving the case?" Xiaolan was still not convinced and continued.

Xiao Yu shrugged helplessly: "But how many times did Officer Mudui really come to the door to beg his uncle to handle the case?" ”

Xiaolan was choked speechless.

Yes, that time to solve the case, wasn't it that Maori Kogoro who set up Conan, a Grim Reaper elementary school student, and he had to solve the case, so he got involved in it, and the case that had nothing to do with Maori Kogoro's eggs, how many times did the police officer come to the door to ask for help?

"Ah, it's such a complicated world, but Xiao Jun, you know a lot, these things are an adult, and you may not know so much, right?" Xiaolan half-squatted in front of Xiao Yu, her eyes seemed to be tentative.

Conan suddenly panicked, I'm damn, Xiao Yu, this guy, usually talks about me, are you talking about it endlessly?

Maori Kogoro glanced at Xiao Yu with interest, obviously waiting to see the joke.

However, Xiao Yu's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he had a face full of innocence: "Yes, my father said since I was a child that I would take over the family business in the future, so I have to figure out a lot of things and teach me these things since I was a child." ”

"Huh! No wonder, too, Xiao Jun's family is that kind of big family. Xiaolan said clearly.

Xiao Yu glanced at Conan, and the meaning of that look was clear: Look, this is acting.

Conan rolled his eyes and turned his head to bother with the guy.

"Okay, don't make any noise, it's time to get to the place." Kogoro Mori interrupted the conversation of several people and came to a two-story building and said.

It is a very modern bungalow, and in Japan, only young people in their twenties choose such a house as a wedding home.

The doorbell rang, but no one answered the door for a long time, and Mori Kogoro had to shout inside, "Mr. Shida!" I'm a detective from Tokyo, Kogoro Mori, and I'm here to investigate your wife's case! ”

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement inside.

"It seems that there is no one...... Hey, hey, hey! What are you two imps going to do! Mori Kogoro was just halfway through his sentence when he saw that Xiao Yu and Conan had climbed the wall.

"We went in to survey the scene, you can rest assured, we will definitely record every detail of the scene, and then let you investigate, and it will definitely be handled very well." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Kogoro Maori was choked, in fact, it was something he wanted to do.

"No, come down and let the two imps do these things, what are they like! If you want to go, I'll go. Mori Kogoro said again.

"You are waiting at the door, if the master's family comes back, you are here to explain, we are small, and it will be better to hide when the time comes." This time it was Conan who said.

Maori Kogoro couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so he could only grit his teeth: "Give me some profit on your hands and feet!" ”

"Hey!" *2 The two of them responded in unison, and then disappeared over the wall.

"Daddy! How can you get the two of them to do such a thing! Xiao Lan, who was originally very worried on the side, couldn't help but say angrily.

"Don't worry, if you say these two boys, there is no problem." Mori Kogoro said solemnly.

"Who said that! It's trespassing! It's against the law! ”

"Didn't you hear Xiao Jun say just now, detective, it's a gray profession, wandering on the edge of the law, isn't it?" Mori Kogoro smiled, and the smile was unfathomable.
