Unlike Uncle Mori, Eri Kisaki definitely has the money to maintain her sports car.
But sports cars always attract attention.
This is inconsistent with Eri Kisaki's own personality.
Compared to these things, Eri Kisaki values the significance of this sports car more.
This was a gift from Uncle Mori.
I stopped thinking about that problem and focused on resolving the other client's request.
After everyone got on the bus, Eri asked Ran for her family's address, and then they set off.
During the journey, Eri inquired about the details of the commission.
Xiaolan had specifically looked into the details of the commission.
So they can answer all of them.
The wealthy man who was threatened was named Mikio Fujieda.
I've heard that name before, Eri Kisaki.
Therefore, she was not surprised that he would be threatened when she heard his name:
"The one who's being threatened is that Fujieda Mikio."
"No wonder."
"Huh?" Xiaolan was a little surprised. "Mom, do you know him?"
“Fujigachikane…” Kōyū frowned slightly.
He seemed to have heard that name before.
However, I forgot when and where it was.
Anyway, all he remembered was that this person wasn't a good person.
They were doing business in the gray area.
He spoke very softly, and only Conan, who was standing next to him, could hear him.
Eri, who was driving, and Ran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, did not hear it.
"Yes, but I've only ever heard of that name."
While driving, Eri Kisaki kept her eyes fixed on the road ahead and told Ran what she knew:
“I have a friend who was this person’s lawyer.”
"As a result, I've heard a lot of rumors about this person."
"He doesn't seem to be a good person; he's done a lot of bad things."
"When he was young, he was a pretty boy, but he had a way of winning the heart of a rich young lady and becoming her live-in son-in-law."
"Then, he used that family's money to do illicit business in secret."
"He's a despicable person who only makes money through dishonest means."
"It's really normal for someone like that to be threatened," Guangyou muttered under his breath.
“Yes, that’s right.” Conan nodded in agreement with Mitsuyu’s statement.
Ran and Eri, who were chatting, did not hear what Mitsuyu said.
Although they also felt that it was normal and deserved for such people to be threatened.
But only by catching the person who is threatening Fujieda Mikio can the current predicament be resolved.
Instead of discussing that person, Xiaolan steered the conversation back to the request:
"So, is that young lady the client?"
“No.” Eri Kisaki denied the claim.
She first explained what she knew, and then shared her guess:
"I heard that his wife, that rich heiress, passed away from illness six months ago."
"So he's probably remarried now."
Xiaolan was somewhat surprised by this statement and felt that the person was rather heartless.
She frowned slightly and said:
"His wife just passed away not long ago."
Although when someone gets married is their own business.
But he married a new woman only six months after his wife passed away.
In addition to what we already knew, it's easy to feel that Fujieda Mikio is too heartless.
However, the content of this commission was not related to Fujieda Mikio's love life or personal conduct.
Therefore, Eri Kisaki had no intention of finding out about these things.
That's enough for now. From this information, she gleaned one key takeaway:
"In any case, it should now be clear that the client this time did not really want to protect Fujieda Mikio's life."
Everyone in the car understood what Eri Kisaki meant by those words.
The client is now Fujieda Mikio's wife.
She most likely didn't want Uncle Mori to protect Mikio Fujieda.
Actually, she wanted Fujieda Mikio to be killed.
In this way, she can smoothly inherit the huge fortune.
That concludes our discussion on the commission.
During the rest of the journey, Eri Kisaki chatted with Ran about life and studies.
The mother and daughter were chatting, while Conan was staring out the window in a daze.
Meanwhile, Guangyou was texting someone on his phone.
It wasn't with Ai.
At this time, Ai was still doing research.
So Guangyou didn't bother him.
At that moment, she was exchanging text messages with Narumi.
He wanted Narumi to help him get back the five million that Uncle Mori had taken to gamble on horse races.
In the morning, Uncle Mori realized that the request was not as easy as he had imagined.
There has been no progress.
In addition, he spent three million in the past few days on a lavish lifestyle.
So Uncle Mori, risking his life, bet five million dollars on horse racing.
I wanted to gamble on that tiny bit of hope.
But horse racing is something that can be completely manipulated behind closed doors.
It all depends on which horse the organizers and investors want to win.
A few thousand yen is fine, but five million is out of the question.
It must be said that Chinese culture is profound and extensive.
Although both mean "never mind," they have completely different meanings.
The former means not arguing with Uncle Mori, while the latter means having to argue with Uncle Mori.
We can't let Uncle Mori use this money to gamble on horse races.
Even the usually crazy Mori-san wouldn't do something like this.
I guess he was already drunk at that time, and he happened to see horse racing betting, so he placed a bet on impulse.
Logically speaking, the money bet should not be recovered.
But these are rules that ordinary people should abide by.
Although he lives an ordinary life now, he is not an ordinary person.
