Chapter 805: Even the title has been hijacked.
Sonoko Suzuki's act of having evidence materials packaged and sent to the Metropolitan Police Department caused a huge uproar, and police cars with flashing warning lights drove all the way to Kimimoto's residence.
The evidence is irrefutable; there's no point in them trying to deny it.
Before being put into the police car, Yuuji Teruyuki gave Kuno Nayazuki a vicious look.
The latter gave her a mocking smile, as if he were laughing at her overestimating her abilities.
A few days after the Kimimoto family was imprisoned, Yuuji Teruyuki's mother was arrested. Unfortunately, her mental state became abnormal, and she was eventually sent to a mental hospital.
Just a few days later, both Yumi Teruzuki, who was in prison, and her mother, who was in the hospital, died mysteriously. Their deaths were rather gruesome, as if they had been burned, but there were no signs of burning around them...
Despite her hidden merits and fame, Kuno Naya Tsuki continued to chat and drink tea with Mouri Ran and the others as usual.
A few days ago, when the news about the Jun family was broadcast on TV, it did indeed give Qianzhu a lot of emotional points.
Furthermore, one of the victims was himself... so his fans provided even more emotional support.
Nakai Chikako, who also attended the birthday banquet that day: "..."
6.
The Jun family is going to be heavily criticized.
Although many days have passed, the main characters still feel a pang of sadness when they think of the Kimi family.
Inside the Polo Cafe, Kuno Naya and a few other girls, including Mouri Ran, sat together chatting. As they talked, the conversation turned to Yuuji Teruyuki.
However, Sonoko Suzuki did most of the talking, while Sera Masumi responded.
Natsumoto Azusa and Amuro Tooru, who were working nearby, listened attentively and occasionally exchanged a few words.
Kuno Naya, sitting by the window, glanced up and saw the middle-aged man standing below the Mouri Detective Agency. She raised an eyebrow slightly and said to Mouri Ran, "Ran, that gentleman seems to be looking for Uncle Mouri, but he doesn't seem to be awake yet..."
Ran Mouri: "......"
She recalled that Kogoro Mouri was fast asleep just before they left, and couldn't help but rub her forehead in exasperation.
"Shall we go take a look together?" Sera Masumi smiled, her little tiger teeth peeking out.
Since someone has come looking for Kogoro Mouri, it means there's another case that needs to be investigated.
As a detective, she would naturally be interested in the case files.
"good."
Ran Mouri nodded and stood up.
After saying goodbye to Xia Benzi, they left Polo Cafe together and returned to the office.
Just then, the man was still knocking on the door. After a long time without any response, he was about to leave when he turned around and saw Ran Mouri and the others.
"Ah, hello, is Mr. Kogoro Mouri here?" the man asked politely.
"I'm sorry, my dad might not have woken up yet."
Ran Mouri spoke apologetically, quickly stepped forward, took out her keys, opened the door, and invited him in to sit down.
"Xiao Lan, go and call Uncle Maoli first. We'll take care of things here."
Kuno Naya smiled slightly and walked towards the kitchen.
"Okay." Ran Mouri nodded and quickly went upstairs to shake Kogoro Mouri, who was still snoring, awake.
Sera Masumi sat opposite the man, waiting for Kuno Naya to come out with the freshly brewed coffee and hand it to him before she spoke.
"Hello, I am Uncle Mori's assistant. You can speak with me before he comes down."
The man thanked Kuno Naya Tsuki, took a sip of his coffee, and then explained his purpose to Sera Masumi.
"My name is Okamoto Ichiro. I'm here on behalf of my master to ask Mr. Mori to investigate the haunting in our house."
He briefly introduced himself, and then continued, "My master's name is Yukawa Masaki. For the past month, he has often heard from the house servants that someone is crying in the middle of the night, causing panic and making my wife somewhat listless."
"But even though the master had people search for the source of the sound, they still found nothing, so he thought of asking Mr. Mori to help investigate who was secretly causing trouble."
"This is my master's business card, along with the deposit and the address of the Yukawa residence."
After saying that, Okamaki Ichiro finally took out a business card, a piece of paper, and a check filled with 500,000 yen and handed them to Sera Masumi.
"Don't worry, I'll pass it on to Uncle Mori!" Sera Masumi reached out and took it.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you. If possible, the master hopes to resolve this matter within a week.” Okamoto Ichiro made another request: “After the matter is resolved, the remaining commission fee will be sent to Mr. Mori.”
After saying that, he bid them farewell and left in what seemed like a hurried manner.
He had barely left when Kogoro Mouri appeared, having been forced by his daughter to wash, dress, and get ready.
Seeing that there were only three girls in the room, a few question marks slowly appeared above his head.
"Didn't you say a client was coming to see me? Where is he?"
"Because Uncle Mori was too slow, the client has already left," Kuno Nayazuki said with a smile, covering her mouth.
Mouri Kogoro: "..."
His straight back instantly slumped, and he leaned against the door frame, looking listless. "If that's the case, then why did you call me here?"
Ran Mouri's lips twitched. "Come on, even without a request, you should be up by now, okay??"
The other three girls chuckled until Kogoro Mouri deflated like a punctured balloon, at which point Sera Masumi finally spoke, waving the object in her hand.
"Uncle, I've accepted the commission for you."
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri paused, his eyes brightening slightly.
These past few days have been so peaceful; not even anyone has asked him to help find their cat or dog. Now he can finally put his skills to good use again!
He straightened his tie, strode confidently to the sofa, sat down, and looked at Sera Masumi, asking, "What kind of request is it?"
Sera Masumi told him everything about the request. When she heard the word "haunted," Ran Mouri's expression stiffened slightly, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that someone was behind it all.
After thinking for a moment, Kogoro Mouri decided to set off for the Yukawa residence the next day.
It's almost evening now, and I'm afraid we won't make it in time.
The next day, Sera Masumi, who had originally planned to travel together, suddenly called to say that something had happened on her end and she couldn't come along.
However, although she couldn't go with them, there was someone else accompanying her.
"Let's set off now."
The Yukawa residence was some distance from Beika City, so Kogoro Mouri rented a car again.
