Chapter 3 The Banquet

The meal cost 700 yen, and Kiyotaka Narumi estimated that 50,000 yen would not take long, and the commission had to be resolved as soon as possible. As a rookie detective, Narumi Kiyotaka obviously has little investigation experience, and the system doesn't give hints. After thinking about it, Narumi Kiyotaka decided to investigate Mr. Seba's client first, and starting with his interpersonal relationships, he might be able to find new clues.

The Internet is not yet widespread, how to investigate a person? How did Conan deal with this kind of problem? It's like calling Dr. Asa or some other friend, like a humanoid search engine. However, he didn't have such a tool man, and Narumi Kiyotaka found that he was unfamiliar with his life, and he was at a loss.

"Is there anything troublesome about Mr. Narumi?" Seeing that Narumi Kiyotaka was a little worried, Enomoto Azusa couldn't help but ask.

If it is in a martial arts novel, the hotel junior usually has a similar function of bag inquiry, and today's waiter is not equivalent to the second shopkeeper in the past? Narumi Kiyotaka asked, "Does Miss Enomoto know about the Sewa family?" ”

Azusa Enomoto shook her head, "I don't know." ”

"You mean the Sewa Group?" Narumi Kiyotaka Shun was an old man reading a newspaper.

[Shile Chongji, 70 years old, veteran employee of Rice Flower Construction, frequent customer of Polo Coffee Shop......]

Narumi Kiyotaka nodded, "Mr. Shiraku knows?" ”

"Our company happened to have business dealings with them before...... "Shigekichi Shigeraki said slowly, before the 90s, the Sewa Group was also a well-known large company, until the economic bubble burst, although it did not go bankrupt directly, but it was also greatly affected, it is said that it owes a lot of money to the bank, and it has not yet escaped the debt crisis.

No matter how you hear it, Narumi Kiyotaka thinks that this is a company that is about to decline, and he still insists on holding banquets at this time? Unwilling to give up even if you are threatened? Do rich people want to save face so much?

"By the way, half a year ago, Mr. Sontoku Sewa, the chairman of the Sewa Group, seemed to have had an accident and injured one of his legs, and it was also in the news." Set up a happy and auspicious road.

The person who entrusted Narumi Kiyotaka before was none other than Senba Zunde, with a bandage on one leg, and it seemed that he hadn't healed yet. It's a pity that I didn't have skills before, otherwise I might be able to see something.

After eating, Narumi Kiyotaka chatted with Shiraku Shigekichi again, and seeing that there was no other news, Narumi Kiyotaka said goodbye and left. It was already early, so I went to the convenience store to buy some daily necessities, newspapers and magazines, and Narumi Kiyotaka went straight home.

When I got home, Narumi Kiyotaka had a lazy cancer attack, and it was impossible to work overtime, I was unwilling before, let alone now. Leave the commission behind you for the time being, anyway, there are still a few days left. Tokyo has a lot of nightlife, but it takes money, and Narumi Kiyotaka can only relax on TV and newspapers and magazines.

The next morning, Narumi Kiyotaka habitually touched his mobile phone at the bedside, and finally reacted after a while, he seemed to have crossed over, but the mobile phone did not follow.

After washing up, Narumi Kiyotaka came to Polo Coffee Shop for breakfast, "A cup of coffee, a sandwich!" ”

There was a newspaper on the bar, and Narumi Kiyotaka was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper at the same time, and he glanced at the date on the newspaper and almost spewed it out, "What the hell?" Yesterday was only Monday, today is Saturday? Did you sleep for five days? ”

In order to confirm the date, he specially bought a newspaper yesterday, and clearly remembered that it should be Monday, he knew that the timeline in Conan was very pitiful, and even forced someone directly into a snake spirit disease, but Kudo Shinichi has not yet become Conan, and he has already begun to exert his might?

The banquet was held today, and picking up the sandwich, Narumi Kiyotaka hurriedly got up and left. The banquet was held in the private villa of Sentoku Sewa, and although there was an address on the invitation, how to go to this address? You can check it online before you cross, but where can you check it now? Would you like to buy a map? After thinking about it, Narumi Kiyotaka decided to take a taxi and let the driver send him directly.

Early in the morning, taxis were scarce. Narumi Kiyotaka waited a long time for a car. After nearly an hour of riding, the taxi finally arrived at Sewa's villa. Narumi Kiyotaka had long heard that taxis in Japan were very expensive, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive, and he spent a full 20,000 yen, and his wallet went nearly half in an instant.

Taking out the invitation, Narumi Kiyotaka entered the villa smoothly, and it seemed that the banquet had not yet begun. Led by the servants, Narumi Kiyotaka soon meets the owner of the villa.

[Sewa Zunde, 65 years old, head of the Sewa family......]

"Detective Narumi, I wonder what has been found in the past few days?" Still in a wheelchair, Sewa asked.

How to answer? He traveled straight from Monday to Saturday without having time to investigate in depth? Narumi Kiyotaka seriously doubts that the other party will send him directly to a mental hospital!

Narumi Kiyotaka said vaguely: "I already have some clues, and I still need to take a look at the banquet." ”

A smile flashed across Sentoku's face, and it quickly disappeared again. Glancing at a middle-aged man next to him, Seba Zunde said: "This is my housekeeper Yoshikawa, if you have any questions and needs, you can find him directly!" Yoshikawa, Detective Narumi is also a guest today, so be careful to entertain well! ”

After the order was completed, Sewa Sonde left directly, and Narumi Kiyotaka stared at Sewa Sontoku's back thoughtfully. There was no trace of worry on the other party's face, as if he really thought it was just a prank.

"Does Mr. Narumi need anything?" Butler Yoshikawa asked.

Narumi Kiyotaka said, "I'm tired of Butler Yoshikawa to help introduce the identities of the guests and the relationship with Mr. Seba. "Skills are not omnipotent, just make as much judgment as possible through all kinds of known information, and so many guests, all with skills, must be tired enough.

In the following time, while receiving the guests, Butler Yoshikawa introduced to Narumi Kiyotaka in a low voice, "This is the eldest young master of the Kurokawa family...... This is the second lady of the Mizushima family...... This is the president of Baling Bank...... This is a famous doctor......"

Regarding the relationship between these people and Sewa Sontoku, Yoshikawa Steward didn't say much, as if he took care of the master's privacy. Narumi Kiyotaka only knew that these people were friends or business friends of the Seba family, and as for whether there was a festival, a qualified housekeeper would definitely not reveal it casually.

It didn't take long for the banquet to begin, with exquisite food, elegant music, and everyone chatting and dancing at the same time. Narumi Kiyotaka has an outstanding appearance, and from time to time women come to talk, in order to find out the news, Narumi Kiyotaka can only sacrifice slightly.

"Mr. Narumi dances well and has a good figure, are you interested in being my personal trainer?"

"Is Detective Narumi free tonight? I just lost something in my room, can you help me investigate? ”

……

Suddenly, there was a scream from upstairs, and Narumi Qinglong felt a pang in his heart, and his ears seemed to remember a certain familiar BGM!
