Chapter 1148 1156 [The boss just wants to visit]
Although this commission is suspected to be related to the arson case, it is only suspected. Toyama Kazuha and Mao Lilan are obviously not very interested in this.
"You guys go by yourselves, we'll go shopping in the nearby mall and then go home to cook." Yuanshan Heye waved to the detectives, "Keep working hard!"
The two of them quickly turned around and walked away, talking and laughing.
…
"Hmm... Let me take a look at the commission." Hattori Heiji took out a notebook and confirmed the client that Detective Kusukawa told him, "A family named Morokaku at 4-chome, Haido-machi."
"Acupido 4-chome?"
Conan remembered something: "When Mr. Okiya was taking notes, I stole a glance and it seemed that his house was in the 4th chome of Haido-cho."
"Are you talking about the squinty-eyed guy who encountered three cases in half a day and was almost hit by a truck?" Hattori Heiji laughed, "He shouldn't be that unlucky."
Conan sighed: "Not necessarily, I always feel like Mr. Okiya is being targeted by something." ... Especially before, Okiya Subaru's reminder that "someone sniped the elevators of the Twin Towers". The more Conan thought about it, the more he felt that this graduate student was not simple.
"..." Jiang Xia nodded silently, pretending to agree.
But I clicked an X in my heart: What does it mean to be targeted? It is obviously Subaru Okiya's event constitution that has awakened very well, and his contact with Conan and Mao Li Ran has become a little more...
…
However, when they arrived at the place, the three detectives found that although they were in the same 4th chome, the Okiya Subaru family and the Morokaku family were not next to each other.
There was even a long distance between them.
Jiang Xia: “…” Without Okiya Subaru around to make me jump, I feel like some of the fun is lost.
Fortunately, although they are not adjacent, they are in the same block after all, which is not far from Okiya Subaru's house.
Jiang Xia thought secretly: Why not let the ghost float over later to see what the younger brother is doing at the moment, learn more about his subordinates' usual preferences and movements, and be a considerate and good boss...
“……”Of course, even though I’m moved, I can’t just hang up and go find Okiya Subaru immediately.
As a good detective who unfortunately didn’t get into a car accident, I still have to go through the process of investigating the commission.
…
"It should be here."
Hattori Heiji stopped at the door of a house uncertainly. He looked at his watch and was a little confused: "I'm a little late. Mr. Kusukawa specifically emphasized several times that the client has a strong sense of time and a bad temper..."
At this point, he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Jiang Xia: "Why don't you ring the doorbell?"
...I always feel that Jiang Xia looks very friendly. If I let him take the lead, he will most likely not be scolded.
Jiang Xia was not afraid of others losing their temper with him, and even wanted to add fuel to the fire.
He withdrew his gaze from the street corner, walked over and pressed the doorbell of the Morokaku's house.
The doorbell rang, but no one came to open it until it stopped ringing.
Hattori Heiji and Conan were watching secretly at first.
Seeing this situation, they couldn't help but frowned, their eyes fixed: "...Is there anything wrong?"
The gate of this detached house was open at this moment.
In broad daylight, this actually looks normal.
But at this moment, this scene suddenly became weird in the eyes of the two detectives.
They ran to the door quickly and were about to try to knock or bang on it.
At this moment, someone suddenly said sternly from the entrance through the door:
"If you don't leave I'll call the police!"
Almost at the same time, Jiang Xia grabbed the hands of Hattori Heiji and Conan who were about to push the door, and whispered, "Let's take a look at the situation first."
The two detectives nodded and crouched furtively in the doorway to eavesdrop.
…
The person who just shouted about calling the police sounded like a middle-aged woman.
At this time, another man's voice sounded in the room, with a humble and flattering tone:
"I'm really not that kind of scam salesman. Well, my name is Genda Ryunosuke, and I'm the manager of an antique shop. My shop is in the neighboring town of Rizen, not far from here, so I would like to invite you to take a look at our shop's brochure and collection catalog. If you need anything in the future, you are welcome to visit at any time."
Zhujiao Liangzi sneered: "I am not interested in that kind of broken copper and iron covered with dust."
Xuantian Longde sighed, and held over a product catalog and a small gift in a box with both hands: "Then I won't bother you anymore. Please accept this, as a small token of our store's appreciation..."
"Humph, do I look like a poor idiot who wants a little free gift?" Zhujiao Liangzi slapped the album, sending the album and the gift flying. "Get out of here!"
"...Yes, sorry to bother you." Xuantian Longde lowered his head to pick up the brochures and small gifts of his store, turned around, opened the door, and tried to leave in embarrassment.
When he looked up, he was caught off guard and met the eyes of three people outside, and was slightly startled.
The three detectives stepped aside awkwardly.
Xuantian Longde nodded to them silently and left quickly.
As a result, Ryoko Morokaku also saw the three guys acting suspiciously outside.
She frowned and was about to curse again.
But after a closer look, he saw that the person who came this time was a handsome young man who didn't look like an annoying salesman at all. So he managed to have a little more patience, swallowed his curse, and just asked, "What are you doing blocking my door?"
Jiang Xia looked at her in a friendly manner: "We are friends of Mr. Nanchuan. He seems to have received a commission from you, saying that there are suspicious figures in this area at night... He had some problems and couldn't come, so we came to check on him."
"Kusukawa? ...Oh, the detective."
Morokaku Ryoko remembered something and waved her hand perfunctorily: "No need, think about it carefully, it must have been my illusion at that time. I was too tired during that time, so I was dizzy. There is nothing for you to do now, go back quickly."
"..." Conan and Hattori Heiji looked suspiciously.
However, Ryoko Morokaku obviously did not have the patience to answer questions and looked like she was busy seeing the guests off.
The three of them had no choice but to go out again.
…
Just as they reached the door, before they could discuss why the strange Zhujiao Liangzi went back on his word, a car suddenly drove up and squeaked to a stop at the door of this family.
A tall middle-aged man in a neat suit got out of the car.
He looked at the three detectives who had just left the house in surprise, and then glanced at Jiang Xia, slightly startled. After a moment, he walked past them as if nothing had happened and entered the yard of the Zhujiao family.
The man greeted Ryoko Morokaku who was still at the door and said, "How are you feeling lately?"
"Why did you come so early today?" Seeing him, Ryoko Morokaku smiled brightly. She pointed to the shoe cabinet at the door and said, "Look, I placed this porcelain jar as you said. I feel my luck has improved a lot recently!"
