Chapter 44: One Gift a Month Murder Relatives of Shinichi Kudo
Outside the door, a middle-aged man, holding large and small boxes in his hands, was a little unsteady on his feet.
As soon as Conan opened the door, he hit the man holding the box, and the box in the man's hand fell completely, knocking Conan to the ground.
"It hurts......" Conan hugged his head and cried out in pain.
"Ahh Conan, are you alright? Several imps hurriedly ran over, only Yamazaki slowly stood up and walked in the direction of the man.
"I'm sorry, kid, are you okay?" the man stretched out his right hand in a panic, trying to help Conan up.
"Uh-huh......" Conan noticed a scratch on the man's right index finger.
"I'm fine......" grabbed the man's right hand and stood up.
Yamazaki slowly walked up to the man and saluted.
"Do you have any commissions?"
"Oh, yes! I encountered something strange and wanted to ask a detective to investigate! The man replied honestly.
Yamazaki glanced at the boxes on the floor, and could see that they contained toys, and some of them were not packaged in boxes
"So are these toys something you're going to ask for an investigation?"
"Well, yes!" Men are a little strange, why are there no adults? This child seems to be very mature, and he should be only the age of his own son.
"In that case, please take a seat," Yamazaki made a gesture of please, inviting the man to sit on the couch.
"You three bring those things here! Ayumi goes to make coffee! He gave an order and asked the man what had happened.
"Contemptible Ogawa.................." The man was still a little confused, but he still said his own thing.
………………
"You mean, since two years ago, people have been sending you toys and money every month, but the phone number and address are fake, so you feel uneasy, right?" Yamazaki took a sip of coffee and asked lightly.
"yes, that's why I feel weird"
"Do you have any children at home?" Conan, who was sitting next to Yamazaki, suddenly asked
"Yes, I have a five-year-old child named Yuta"
"Hmm...... So how much does it cost each time? Yamazaki continued.
"It's a million every time, but this time it's 10 million"
"10 million!" The three imps couldn't help but scream, and were about to say something, but they were stopped by Yamazaki.
(This episode of bugs, the content of the letter is that 25 million yen has been paid, but he said that there are 1 million every month, and this time there are 25 million, because the plot does not say when it is now, but depending on the weather conditions are summer, I assume that it is June, and the first time I send toys and money is March 19, so I sent 15 million before, and if I send 25 million this time, it will be 40 million, which is not right...... That painting, he said that it was about 20 million, and he used 40 million to buy 20 million paintings, even a detective like Kogoro Mori would be suspicious...... )
"What do you do?" Yamazaki then asked
"It's supposed to be a surgeon, right?" Conan couldn't help but want to pretend to be a force
"Yes, I'm a surgeon, but how do you know that, kid?" The middle-aged man was really a little surprised, how did this kid know? The chapter on these two children gives a very mature feeling.
"Because I saw a scratch on my uncle's index finger, only when I was doing surgery............"
"Kid, you're so amazing!"
"Hey, hey"
Mitsuhiko, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly interjected: "Then could it be my uncle's illness?" As a token of appreciation, it's not surprising to send money and toys, right? ”
The middle-aged man hadn't opened his mouth yet, but he was vetoed by Yamazaki
"It's unlikely, if it's a patient who gives money and toys, why be anonymous? The address and phone number are fake, who would be idle and bored and have nothing to do, and do such a painful thing? ”
"And these toys are still old, they look like someone has played with them, and there is no barcode on the box, which means that they are products from a few years ago!" Conan picked up a box and said, then picked up a few other boxes and looked at them, but there were no barcodes.
"Hmm...... Any other clues? ”
"Uh, yes" The man took out an envelope from the inside pocket of his jacket, Yamazaki took it and weighed it, it was quite thick, and when he opened it, he saw that it was full of money and a piece of stationery.
"Twenty-five million yen has been paid in full, and I would like to conclude a deal with this amount," Conan snatched the letter and read.
Yamazaki frowned, what does this mean exactly? Is it something to buy?
"Do you have anything worth about 25 million yen at home?"
The man thought about it carefully:
"That said, there is a famous painting in the hospital that is said to have been handed down by my grandfather, and it is worth more than 2 million yen!"
"And then? Any clues? Yamazaki then asked
"No more!"
"In that case, let's go to the hospital and have a look," Mitsuhiko said, Ayumi and Motota didn't speak from beginning to end, they were just ordinary children, and they felt a little confused when they listened to everyone else talk.
"Well, what does Mr. Ogawa think?"
"Uh, where's the man from this office?" Xiao Chuan was forced, didn't he tell the adults about the matter and let the adults solve it?
"No adults, this office is run by several of us, please believe in our strength, we have also helped the police solve many cases, Yamazaki took out two newspapers out of nowhere and put them on the table, these things are still prepared.
"There are still many cases that have not been in the news, but our strength is worth trusting!"
Xiao Chuan looked at the newspaper in his hand, it was indeed these children who solved the case, but it was a little difficult for him to believe in this group of children
Seeing that he still didn't quite believe him, Yamazaki had no choice but to pull Conan out
"This is Conan Edogawa, a relative of high school student detective Shinichi Kudo!"
"Uh...... Okay, either come with me......" When he heard that it was a relative of Kudo Shinichi, Ogawa could only reluctantly believe it.
"Damn fellow......" Conan rolled his eyes, this guy actually used his reputation as a sign
