Chapter 107 Almost Identical Appearances
Hearing a sound from the side, the girl moved her umbrella aside and turned her head to look, a hint of doubt showing between her brows.
But the two men were stunned when they saw her face.
Conan, in particular, was so frightened that his eyes turned white.
The girl had soft, waist-length golden curly hair, clear and bright tea-green eyes, and a slightly flushed, delicate, doll-like face due to the heat of the weather.
but……
This girl looks just like Xiao Ye/that baby-faced boy from the organization!
Aside from gender and hair color, they look almost identical...
This was a shared idea between Ran and Conan.
"Good afternoon, both of you." The girl bowed slightly in greeting, then frowned, looking quite troubled. "I came to ask Detective Mouri to help me find someone, but I rang the doorbell and no one answered. I thought no one was home, so I was planning to come back another time..."
Xiaolan quickly realized what was happening and walked over apologetically. "I'm so sorry, my dad might be drunk and asleep again... Would you like to come up and sit for a while?"
"Ah, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?" The girl didn't move, but stood there hesitantly.
"It's okay..."
Before Ran could finish speaking, Conan suddenly spoke up, "Hey, sis, why don't you come up first? It would be better to tell us about the request sooner rather than later, right?"
"That's true, then I'll trouble you all."
The girl was very polite. She looked young and was as gentle and refined as a well-educated heiress.
After putting the umbrella away, the girl sat on the sofa and accepted the tea that Xiaolan had just brewed.
She accepted it with a smile, saying, "Thank you."
Then Mori, who had been chased away to wash his face, appeared and sat down opposite her, his expression serious. "Hello, miss. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. How can I help you?"
"It's alright." The girl smiled and then slowly explained the purpose of her visit: "My name is Kuno Nayazuki. I usually live abroad. I came here to meet an uncle on behalf of my father. However, my father and that uncle have not been in contact for a long time, and it seems that the uncle has moved and changed his phone number. The address my father gave me is the address where my uncle used to live. I had no choice but to ask Mr. Mori to help me find my uncle's new address."
After she finished speaking, she took a photo and a paper envelope out of her bag and placed them on the table.
“This is my uncle, his name is Shotaro Ohara.” She pointed to the middle-aged man in the photo and then to the paper envelope. “This is the commission fee, a total of one million yen.”
"One...one million!?" Kogoro Mouri nearly popped his eyes out when he heard the number.
But he quickly put on a serious act to maintain his fabricated persona, "Ahem, Ms. Kuno, please rest assured! I, Kogoro Mouri, am an expert at finding people, and I'm sure I'll find your uncle's new address soon!"
Kuno Naya smiled, covering her lips. "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Mori."
"Leave it to me!" Kogoro Mouri patted his chest confidently, then picked up the photo and examined it carefully.
Conan, who was standing next to him, gave Kuno Naya Tsuki a sharp look before his gaze also shifted to the photograph.
The photo shows a middle-aged man who looks somewhat thin but very robust, but his face is quite ordinary, the kind of ordinary that you wouldn't notice if you threw him into a crowd.
