Chapter 127: The Bombing That Didn't Happen
In recent times, the little boy of Edogawa has not bothered Mo Wuxian anymore.
As a result, Mo Wujian was able to really be idle.
Due to the special situation of Qiuyue's house next door, Mrs. Qiuyue, who died of her husband, seemed to be a little unstable, and ran to Mo Wujian from time to time, or chatted, or helped Mo Wuqian do housework, or invited Mo Wuqian to Qiuyue's house for a light meal.
Mo Wujian is also a warm-hearted person, every time Mrs. Qiuyue invites, he will not refuse, and today, he even proposed to invite the mother and daughter to go out on a trip together.
In order to avoid a collision with the little boy of Edogawa, he even investigated the recent itinerary of the little boy of Edogawa in advance.
Mo Wujian found out that the little boy in Edogawa didn't know how to move the Maori detective family and took him to watch a racing competition abroad.
Then, that race had a serious series of crashes.
The prescient Mo Wujian bought the Italian team victory in advance and made a lot of money.
He knows that such as racing, football, basketball, horse betting, etc., often have mafia behind the scenes, and like this kind of betting, the champion is often determined a long time ago.
It's not luck, it's strength!
Mo Wufeng has the strength to become the world's richest man!
This is also the reason why he invited the mother and daughter of the Qiuyue family to travel together, knowing that Mo Wujian made a lot of money by betting on racing, the mother and daughter of the Qiuyue family did not refuse, and accepted the invitation very calmly, and went out to travel together, the first stop is the famous food mecca of neon, Yuanyue.
The consumption of the far moon is really expensive, and a casual meal may be hundreds of thousands of millions of yen, but there is no shortage of money!
Unfortunately, the day after the four's trip, when Mo Wujian took the mother and daughter to a shopping street near the station by Shinkansen, he happened to meet a little boy from Edogawa.
"What a coincidence, Edogawa kids, are you also on a trip?" Mrs. Autumn Moon was the first to say hello.
The little boy from Edogawa, who was on a trip with the Maori detective father and daughter, nodded and smiled, "Yes, Aunt Akizuki, what a coincidence." β
"Hello, I'm Kogoro Maori, a detective!" The moment Maori Kogoro saw Mrs. Akizuki, his eyes lit up, and he quickly put on an upright tough guy image to say hello.
Boom!!!
A restaurant in the shopping street exploded!
The little boy from Edogawa reacted instantly and ran towards the restaurant where it exploded.
Mo Wujian looked up and found that the place where the explosion occurred was called Xingping Shop.
"Shall we go and see it too?" Mrs. Akizuki's youngest daughter, Akizuki Ellie, asked with interest, her eyes glancing at Mo Wuji, and then she turned her head again and snorted softly.
Obviously, Autumn Moon Ellie's attitude towards Mo Wujian is not very friendly.
It's no wonder that just a few days after his father died, a man invited the three of them to travel together, and whoever they were would look at that man coldly.
Mrs. Qiuyue's inquiring gaze also looked at Mo Wuji, who thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The four of them walked towards the scene of the bombing.
The nearby crowd also spontaneously surrounded and acted as onlookers, and several locals whispered there, "It's pitiful, that kid has just taken over his father's business, and this is what happened in the store." "It should be a natural gas explosion, Chuangzhen, this kid is frizzy, his father has only been gone for a few days, and he poked out such a big basket~" "Shhh, in fact, I heard that a big company wants to buy Xingping Xiaodian, but Chuangzhen's kid doesn't agree, and the two sides are very unhappy." "Oh my God, could it be the boss of that big company who instructed people to do it?"
Mo Wujian heard very well, even if the voices of the locals were very small, he could hear them clearly.
"Hey, little Conan ghost, be honest with me, you're still running around in such a dangerous place!" The Maori detective punched the little boy in the head and pounded a large bag.
"Dad, you tap, Conan is still a child!" The Maori detective's daughter complained, and then stepped forward to comfort the injured little boy in Edogawa, "Conan, obedient, there has just been a natural gas explosion here, it's very dangerous, what if there is another natural gas explosion?" β
"Oh~" The little boy from Edogawa lowered his head aggrievedly.
Soon, the local police arrived at the scene of the crime, and when they learned that there was also a famous Maori detective present, the police chief who led the team excitedly took out a small notebook and asked for autographs.
The Maori detective was very proud and signed his name casually.
The little boy of the Edogawa River is dead fish-eyed on the side.
This bear child, is it really not big or small, Maori detective is a divorced man, it is not easy to live with his daughter, kindly adopt him, this is how he treats Maori detectives?
"I'm smiling, as a detective, I'm still a little famous~" Mori Kogoro said proudly to Mrs. Akizuki.
Mrs. Autumn Moon smiled reservedly, and approached Mo Wujian without a trace.
Compared with a middle-aged man who is famous but has no improvement in his career, he is obviously more attractive than a young man who has a successful teenager and a large number of zeros in his deposit balance.
The Maori detective was hurt and glared at Mo Wufeng viciously, and then ran to the scene of the crime to investigate, apparently trying to find some ground in his field of expertise.
At the same time, a mature and plump working woman walked towards Mo Wujian with two bodyguards.
"That one over there is a famous Maori detective in Tokyo?" The woman in the workplace asked, seemingly unintentionally.
Mrs. Akizuki replied politely, "Yes, I heard that he is a very good detective." β
Mo Wujian glanced at this working woman, her sharp eyes saw a trace of worry from the depths of the other party's eyes.
It seems that eighty percent of the bombing is related to this woman.
But he soon overturned this suspicion, because another woman came over, with a waiter and a chef by her side, and listened to the whispers of several locals in the neighborhood, and Mo Wujian learned that this woman was the owner of a restaurant chain and was planning to open a branch in this shopping street recently.
This person is also very suspicious, as the so-called mall is like a battlefield, before opening a store, it is very common to strike at competitors.
However, it is a bit too much to kill people in order to hit competitors.
Mo Wujian looked at the scene of the crime, and soon, the medical personnel who ran out of the ambulance that arrived later carried out a red-haired red-haired man with extensive burns from the small shop in Xingping to kill Matt.
Oh my God, these days, those who do catering also have dyed hair?
Mo Wujian raised an eyebrow, anyway, he didn't like to eat the food made by Kill Matt.
It's not that he's prejudiced against killing Matt, it's that a young man who likes to dye his hair must be the type who loves to express himself.
Chefs generally wear chef hats to prevent hair from falling into the food during the cooking process, which is very unhygienic.
But it is obviously difficult to get a young man who loves to express himself, especially a young man who likes to dye his hair, to wear a chef's hat to cover his flowing hair.
Mo Wujian looked at the inside of Xingping's shop again, and found that the business license hanging on the wall was a middle-aged killer Matt who also had dyed red hair and had very long hair.
It turns out that killing Matt also has a bloodline inheritance..... Oh my God, that's even more unhygienic, right?
At least the hair is shorter and not easy to fall out, but what's the deal with this long hair?
With this kind of long hair, it's hard to stop the hair that falls out even if you wear a chef's hat, right?
Moreover, he specially grew long hair and dyed red hair, this type of person must be the type who likes to express himself more, this kind of person, it must be more difficult for him to wear a chef's hat!
For a while, Mo Wuqian made a decision in his heart, even if this Xingping small store did not close down and would continue to operate in the future, he would not enter this store to consume.
"The elders of this shop are too irresponsible, right? Leaving an underage child to watch the store, what do his parents think? Autumn Moon Ellie was a little poisonous, and complained without caring about the occasion.
A few locals in the neighborhood frowned a little when they heard this, but they couldn't say anything.
Indeed, the elders of this store are indeed a little irresponsible, leaving an underage child to watch the store, now it's okay, something is wrong, right?
The gas exploded!
It seems that the child who is watching is seriously injured, and may even be disfigured, and there may be psychological shadows in the future.
"Excuse me, can anyone contact the child's parents?" At this time, a policeman asked the nearby onlookers.
A local said, "The child's father went on a trip, and the mother's words seem to have never been seen, so it must be a single-parent family." β
"Can you contact the child's father?" The policeman continued to ask.
The local nodded, pulled out his phone, and began to contact his irresponsible parent.
The onlookers nearby whispered, "Oh my God, that parent is too irresponsible, isn't he?" Go out on your own and leave your children alone to see the store. "Yes, yes, how can there be such a father in the world, it really hurts that child, and I don't know if I can save it." "I think it's difficult, the child should have been cooking in the kitchen before, very close to the natural gas explosion, in this case it is difficult to have survivors, most of them were killed on the spot." "I've seen several similar reports before, but the parties have not been able to rescue them."
"That kid, that's pathetic." Mrs. Autumn Moon sighed.
"Hmph, men don't have a good thing, especially the one who is a parent, it's just a ghost father!" Autumn Moon Ellie said with a poisonous tongue.
"Ellie!" The eldest daughter of the Autumn Moon family, Autumn Moon True Nai, pulled Autumn Moon Ellie's kick and motioned to the other party not to talk nonsense, didn't she see that the locals around her began to stare angrily?
"Sister, where did I say something wrong? It's the same here, and so is the man, and it's not a good thing! Autumn Moon Ellie said toughly.
Mo Wujian stepped forward and touched Qiu Yue Ellie's head, but was pushed away by the other party, "Hmph, you guy, don't fake here!" β
"I'm sorry, please don't take it to heart, Ellie is such a character." Mrs. Akizuki said apologetically.
Mo Wujian smiled slightly, "It's okay, this kid has a lot of personality." β
Autumn Moon Ellie's cheeks bulged out, and she was very unhappy.
At this time, the crowd exclaimed.
"There it is!" The sheriff who led the team excitedly, "Sleeping Maori Kogoro! β
I saw the famous Maori detective sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, his head down, showing a classic crime-solving pose.
Mo Wujian hurriedly looked behind the Maori detective, but he didn't find the little boy in Edogawa.
Immediately, he looked elsewhere, and in a small corner, he finally found the little boy Edogawa, and found that the corner of the other's mouth showed a smug chuckle, and then he touched the back of his head and smirked.
The glasses of the little boy in Edogawa flashed white.
That's when the MΔori detective began to speak, and began to analyze the case.
Mo Wuji's eyes narrowed, and he saw that the buttons on the collar of the Maori detective seemed to be cleaner than the buttons in other places, and they looked like they were newly replaced.
"Miss Minezaki, are you acquiring the property of this shopping street during this time?" The Maori detective, who was analyzing the case, pointed the finger at the working woman with two bodyguards next to Mo Wuji, and Mo Wujian saw that the mature and plump working woman's face was gloomy.
"Yes, the company intends to build a garden-style, comfortable and luxurious urban apartment in this town." When she said this, the eyes of the locals in the neighborhood showed excitement.
It's no wonder that it was originally an inconspicuous town, and its business was completely dependent on the passengers at the station, and it has been difficult to improve.
Not only can you get a lot of relocation subsidies, but the completion of high-end apartments will also mean that there will be more residents, and those who can live in high-end apartments will definitely have no bad spending power.
The fortunes of the town will change, the local economy will be boosted, and those who set up shop and do business will be more likely to generate income.
It can be said that almost everyone is looking forward to the completion of the apartment as soon as possible, except for those nail households!
"Really? As far as I know, your company's relocation plan is struggling, and this Kohei store is the only resident who refuses to relocate, what do you think about this? The Maori detective continued.
This sentence made some of the locals present grit their teeth, "Xingping Xiaodian is really hateful, I have always disagreed with the relocation, and those of us who moved away early can't do business!" "Yes, yes, I invested in a new store not far from here, and all my savings were invested, just waiting for the apartment to be completed and officially opened!" "Officially opened? Don't think about it, there are fewer and fewer shops in this shopping street, and more and more passengers are not willing to come to places like ours, and even if you force it to open, there won't be many customers, at most, we locals will occasionally visit. β
It seems that the Kohei shop is very unpopular in this neighborhood.
"Opinion?" Miss Minezaki sneered, "If it drags on for a long time, our company may consider leaving the land acquired nearby idle, after all, customers don't care about the difficulties of the merchants, once the project cannot be carried out for a long time because of the nail households, the local economy will also be indirectly affected, there will be no apartments, there will be no residents, the revenue rate of the nearby shops will decline, and finally have to choose to close, and once the shops are closed in large numbers, the passengers passing by the station will no longer choose to spend in this place, They will choose to wait until the next stop to spend, and at that point, the company may choose to develop the town that the next stop will reach, after all, we also need to make money, and we can't invest money in doomed investments for no reason. β
"Nah!" "No, how can this be!" "Damn, what the hell is Xingping Xiaodian doing, the relocation subsidy will not be missing you, why do you have to occupy this place and not leave?"
The crowd was excited, and the locals also expressed great distress about the fact that the Xingping shop did not agree to relocate.
The Maori detective was silent, he also didn't know what to say about this kind of thing, Xingping Xiaodian is indeed a big cancer hindering the local economic development.
Thinking about it this way, the number of people who seem to have a motive to commit the crime has increased, and those merchants whose business has declined because of the Kohei shop are obviously gnashing their teeth at the Kohei shop.
However, as a famous detective, he has already put on a classic crime-solving pose, how can he stop halfway at this time?
I started it myself, and I gritted my teeth to solve this case!
"Oh? Then why did I learn from the nearby household registration that some time ago, in order to force the Xingping small store to close, your company did not hesitate to secretly do some disgraceful maneuvers? The Maori detective asked, "You made a bet with the victim that if the other party could not come up with a dish that satisfied the customer, the other party would voluntarily choose to close the business, and in order to achieve this goal, you secretly sent someone to destroy the ingredients stored in the store!" β
"Answer me, is this true?"
"Yes!" Miss Minezaki said calmly, "It was indeed my mistake in this matter, but in the end, Kohei Kodai still came up with a dish that I had to admit, and in the end, I lost." β
"So in order to close the Kohei shop, you instructed your subordinates to manipulate the natural gas pipeline, which led to today's explosion!" The Maori detective exclaimed, "Wouldn't your conscience hurt to do such a thing for the sake of making money?" β
"Hehe, Maori detective, there are some things that can't be said nonsense~" Miss Minezaki sneered, "I said, even if the project of this place cannot be carried out, the company can choose to develop the next stop, the land will not depreciate, and the people who are really anxious should be the local residents and the local government!" β
"And, MΔori detective, before you speak, please think about whether it is more important to solve the case, or whether the friendship of our urban life planning company is more important."
If it's a sober Maori detective, maybe he will say, of course, the friendship of your company is more important, and Miss Minezaki is still such an attractive beauty.
However, the current Maori detective is obviously not sober, and a famous detective like him, like an artist, tends to have a paranoid personality.
As long as you can solve the case, what if you offend your urban life planning company?
I, the Maori detective, are unmoved, and as long as you are a criminal, I am obligated to send you to prison!
"As far as I know, you should always have three bodyguards by your side, right? Why are there only two bodyguards today? The Maori detective questioned.
"There was something temporary in his hometown, so I gave him a vacation." Miss Minezaki said expressionlessly, "If there is nothing else, I will make an appointment with the local department head, and I will not accompany you." β
"That, Maori detective...."At this time, the sheriff who led the team was also a little hesitant, wanting to speak out to prevent Maori detectives from solving the case, after all, compared to solving the case, it is obviously the immediate economic development that is more important, don't you see that the CEO of a large company is very busy? If you delay people to talk to the leader about business, can you afford to pay for it?
Among the onlookers, the locals also looked coldly at the Maori detective.
While they all felt that the city life planning company might have done it, they also wanted the local economic development plan to go smoothly.
Seeing this, Mo Wujian thought that he had to do something.
The interests of the people must be put first!
He walked out of the crowd, walked towards the little boy in Edogawa, lifted the other party, and said with a smile, "Little boy Edogawa, what are you doing?" β
"Uh, ah, let go, let me go!" The little boy from Edogawa struggled and shouted loudly, with an eager expression on his face, obviously disturbed by Mo Wujian about something very important.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll just let you go~" Mo Wujian smiled and put down the little boy from Edogawa.
After such a fuss, many people's eyes also looked at this side.
The little boy in Edogawa looked melancholy, in this case, he could only honestly play the role of a good child, and stepped forward and pushed the Maori detective, "Uncle Maori, don't sleep, I want to eat ice cream." β
"Conan, Dad is solving the case, don't bother him casually." The daughter of the Maori detective comes up and wants to pull away the little boy from Edogawa.
The little boy from Edogawa looked at the Maori detective's daughter with a melancholy expression, and said in a complaining tone, "Sister Xiaolan....."
This time, the case was closed, because the Maori detective had woken up from his slumber, scratched the back of his head, and laughed, "Oh, it's really nerve-wracking, it looks like I've solved another case~"
When he said this, the local police chief who led the team looked embarrassed.
Miss Minezaki stepped forward with a smile and said, "Of course, you really deserve to be a famous detective in Tokyo, I personally admire you very much, this is my business card, if there is anything you can contact me private~" As she spoke, she walked up to Mo Wujian again and whispered, "This gentleman, although I don't know what you have done specifically, but I am very grateful, if you don't dislike it, can I invite you to have a drink?" β
Mo Wuxian nodded and agreed, I am a big man, and I was invited by a beautiful woman, how can I refuse?
How about a drink?
Not to mention one drink, even if it is ten cups, a hundred cups, it doesn't matter if you drink so much that you can't walk!
This kind of anticlimactic detective plot, will you be very uncomfortable watching it? I could have solved the case, but I was forcibly interrupted and deliberately hung my appetite, so everyone won't spray me, right?
