On the third day after the concert at the Shiodome Gymnasium, Takato received news from Officer Twilight that the truth about Mr. Sakano's death was almost certain. As for the rest of the cases from three years ago, the police are still trying to track them down, but they have nothing to do with Gao Yuan.
And when I got the news, the settlement panel also appeared at the right time, but just as Gao Yuan expected, this time I will definitely not get the "S" level-
After all, in that situation at that time, Gao Yuan just wanted to end the case quickly, find the culprit, help the three girls as much as possible, and destroy the possible videos directly, without caring too much about the details.
Therefore, as long as the result is good, then the evaluation or something, can be ignored -
What's more, Gao Yuan would not have deliberately brushed up on the evaluation.
So, Gao Yuan, who stayed at Dr. Asasa's house, continued to complete some processes at Dr. Asasa's house after watching the settlement panel this time-
That's right, this time, Takato came to Dr. Asasa for his help in making a sword-shaped brooch for him.
Since he received a brooch from Tetsu Zhuyu, whose real name is unknown, "Izumo Yukino", Takato can't help but remember that the reward of the "Queen of Swords" has not been received before.
So, looking at this valuable brooch, Takato recalled that night, the three "kendo girls" wore different styles of sword-shaped brooches on their chests, and couldn't help but get some inspiration, so he started to design a brooch with an unsheathed sword as the main shape and a diamond as the embellishment.
For this reason, Takato deliberately bought some silver nuggets and diamonds of good quality, and the total cost was controlled at about 100,000 yen, and then he took the design drawings and materials and found Dr. Asasa in the hope that he could help him make this brooch together.
In the face of Takato's intention, Dr. Asa immediately agreed, and soon made a mold according to the three-view drawings given by Takato, and melted the silver nugget into shape, and finally polished the brooch and inlaid the diamond.
As for these processes, it was not too difficult for Takato, who had done a metalworking internship, so there was no more trouble for Dr. Asasa to borrow the tools of Dr. Asasa and get busy.
And just when it was about to be completed, a phone call came to Gao Yuan's place-
It's Xiaolan.
Picking up the phone, Gao Yuan received a request from Xiaolan - hoping that Gao Yuan would serve as the bodyguard of "Miss Zephyr".
As for the reason, let's start from not long ago -
……
"Huh? Want me to be Miss Zephyr's personal bodyguard? ”
In the Maori Detective Agency, facing the three customers in front of him, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but drop the teacup he was holding in his hand.
"Ahh It's hot, it's hot—"
The hot tea splashed onto his shirt, and Kogoro immediately screamed.
"Ah, Dad, you're really!"
Xiaolan, who was bringing tea to the guests, saw the scene at this moment, and hurriedly put the tray on the table and wiped Kogoro's shirt with a damp cloth.
"It's really ......"
And in the corner of the detective agency, Conan, who watched all this, couldn't help but sigh.
"Didn't you embarrass you......"
The young woman, dressed in plain clothes and looking a little timid, lowered her head and whispered.
"Speaking of 'Miss Zephyr,' is it the same beauty contest as Miss Japan? I remember being quite famous because of the wedding dress competition. ”
Ignoring the situation of being scalded by the tea just now, Kogoro hurriedly asked.
"Yes, yes."
Hearing Kogoro's inquiry, the young woman just now nodded in response.
Then, she saw Kogoro suddenly become excited, patted his chest with a "bang", and laughed heartily.
In this regard, the woman couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed.
"Aha! Miss Shou, how could I refuse this kind of commission. I, Mori Kogoro, if it's for a beautiful woman, I don't want to give up my life! ”
Slightly retracting his smile, Xiao Goro said proudly, and then he still couldn't hold back the pleasure in his heart, laughing, until he noticed that Xiao Lan on the side was staring at him with a stiff face, he quickly pretended to cough and resumed his serious expression.
"My daughter Hua Lian has not officially become Miss Zephyr."
Sitting next to the young woman, the middle-aged woman in a gorgeous solid color costume is the mother of "Miss Shou", and at this moment, she is putting on a stern look and looking at Kogoro, who has just lost her temper.
"Oh, yes. If I'm not mistaken, the tournament should be tonight. ”
It seemed that he was overwhelmed by the momentum just now, but Kogoro quickly picked himself up and continued to ask.
"However, Miss Shou Hualian is the most promising candidate, right? This is also the case in the weekly issue that is on sale today. ”
Kogoro pointed to the magazine spread out on the table and couldn't help but say.
In the magazine, a cute woman with shiny black hair and a thin chin was smiling at the reader.
"Oops, that's beautiful...... This adorable smile, plump lips...... He is 1.75 meters tall and has a chest circumference of ......"
Kogoro couldn't help but chatter excitedly, as if he couldn't stop.
In this regard, Xiaolan immediately coughed loudly a few times, wanting to remind him of his attitude.
And the effect was immediate, Kogoro immediately changed his face, and said haha:
"Ah, what a rude way I am. Ha ha...... However, the organizers of the beauty pageant should have deployed a comprehensive security force, right? ”
"Yes, the security force of the pageant itself should already be foolproof. However, this morning, my sister Hua Lian received a threatening letter. ”
Shou Hualian's sister, the woman with a somewhat timid expression, Shou Meimei, opened her mouth to explain, and when she spoke, she also looked very scared.
"What?"
Hearing Sumimi's words, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense.
"yes, so we're having a hard time doing that."
The middle-aged man sitting next to Sumi Meimei, with a beer belly, kept wiping the sweat that kept coming out of his forehead with a handkerchief, revealing a heartbroken expression.
"You're the person in charge of the contest, Mr. Daigo Miura, right?"
Kogoro looked at the business card that the other party put on the table and asked.
"Yes."
Daigo Miura nodded in response.
"So, what about the threatening letter?"
Kogoro asked.
"My sister took it, but I still remember the content...... It should be ......"
Shou Meimei replied with a panicked face:
"'Beloved Hua Lian, tonight, I am going to shoot through your heart and make you my doll. If you disobey me, you will only die! ’……”
"On the other hand, as long as you disobey him, you will only die...... Well, it's a threatening letter. ”
After listening to the content, Kogoro folded his arms, frowned and pondered......
