Chapter 3235 3247 [Suspicious Amuro Toru] Ask for monthly ticket (`)
Looking at the watch, Calvados rarely used his emotional intelligence for the sake of his future peace.
"I heard from the old lady that the new landlord seems to be difficult to get along with... I came here empty-handed, she might deliberately make things difficult for me."
"There's still some time before the meeting, so I'll just bring her a gift. All the money will be reimbursed by the logistics department anyway."
With this in mind, Calvados went to a nearby commercial street, intending to buy some things.
…
Toru Amuro had no idea about Calvados who was passing by on the street - he was riding in the same car with Jiang Xia at the time, and his attention was undoubtedly all focused on the road conditions ahead.
Fortunately, no pedestrians with stories suddenly rushed out in front, and the frightening "bang" sound did not occur. Until the car arrived at the client's apartment, the four tires of the vehicle were still intact and there was no problem.
After getting out of the car and glancing back at his beloved car, Amuro Toru breathed a sigh of relief calmly: "..." He said that event constitution and the like are just vague metaphysics and there is no need to take them too seriously. Today's smooth trip is a good example.
"Boss?" Jiang Xia saw him staying by the car and looked back, "What's wrong? Is the car broken?"
"..." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Toru Amuro seemed to hear a hint of expectation in his voice. However, when he turned around, Jiang Xia only had a little worry about the car on his face... It must be an illusion.
"Nothing." Thinking of this, Toru Amuro did not mention the car again. He and Jiang Xia followed the client upstairs and entered the client's apartment.
…
Hideo Goda's house is quite large and looks quite upscale.
Unlike the messy apartment that Toru Amuro had imagined, the whole apartment looked quite tidy. There was even a vase with a bouquet of bright red flowers on the shoe cabinet at the entrance.
"It's full of life." Jiang Xia also looked at the bouquet of bright flowers. He lowered his head while changing his shoes, "But the petals seem to be a little wilted."
The middle-aged man looked at the bouquet of flowers and sighed with great regret: "This was planted by my wife before she died. Although I change the water for it every day, it is a rootless flower after all, so it can't last too long."
Amuro Toru looked at the bouquet and said, "So, your wife passed away not long ago?"
"Yes." When talking about his wife, Hideo Goda's expression became a little sad. "She died in a traffic accident three weeks ago."
Amuro Toru: “…?” In other words, this bouquet of flowers lived for three weeks in your hand? … Even the flowers in the detective agency can’t live that long. Are you really as reckless as you say?
"It's been three weeks since his wife passed away, but the room is still clean and the flowers are well maintained. He must be a man who is very good at housework. How could such a man not be able to find a watch that was left at home?" Amuro Toru looked at Goda Hideo with more and more suspicion in his eyes. He muttered to himself:
"And it was clearly a mission to find something, but just now at the detective agency, he seemed to only want Jiang Xia to come to his house, and didn't even want me to come and help..."
Something is wrong.
Something is increasingly wrong.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro looked around the room and slowly fell on a door not far from the entrance.
——Compared with other doors, the material of this door seems to be quite special.
He said casually, "Use the bathroom for a minute," and walked over, opening the door before Hideo Koda could react.
It was only then that Hideo Goda came to his senses: "Wait, this is not the bathroom!"
Of course, Amuro Toru knew this, he just opened the door because he thought the room was suspicious. But after seeing the scene in the room, he found that he seemed to have thought too much - this was not a strange room with secrets, but just an audio-visual room.
The curtains have good light-blocking properties, the lights are at just the right brightness, the cabinets are filled with all kinds of audio and video tapes, and with the large-screen TV next to it, it's like a private cinema.
"There are actually English-language videotapes of Godmera." As Toru Amuro was casually browsing, a voice rang out from in front of the bookshelf, and someone asked, "Uncle, are you a senior movie lover?"
Toru Amuro was thinking that this was all nonsense, but after a moment he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and found that there was an extra person in the room without him noticing!
Conan was standing in front of the bookshelf, casually browsing through rows of videotapes, as if this was his home. For a moment, Amuro Toru almost began to doubt his memory - was this kid always in the detective agency, following them all the way here, but he just forgot?
However, Hideo Goda's reaction soon made it clear that the problem was not with Toru Amuro.
The homeowner was obviously shocked as well: "Where did you come from, kid? Why are you in my house?"
Conan scratched his head and smiled the innocent smile of an elementary school student: "I was playing in a nearby park, and when I saw Brother Jiang Xia and Uncle Amuro here, I wanted to come over and say hello - I'm their little assistant! Uncle, do you have any commission? Let me help too."
Amuro Toru: “…” Who approved you to be an assistant? You made up the story so realistically.
But then again, he was sure that there was no strange elementary school student around them before they got off the elevator... In other words, Conan saw them nearby, chased them into the lobby on the first floor, and then when they took the elevator up, he watched the elevator's stop floors in the elevator room on the first floor, and finally took the elevator to catch up with them?
If the person who did this wasn't a cute first-grade student, it would be a really scary story. This kid, at such a young age, is a good candidate to be a spy...
An undercover public security agent looked at the pot of flowers of the motherland with mixed feelings.
Beside him, Jiang Xia seemed to be quite satisfied with the appearance of this little assistant. He said to Goda Hideo, "Children are good at observation and have a unique vision. Sometimes they can find things faster than adults. Now that they are here, one more person means more strength. Why not let him stay and help?"
"This..." Hideo Koda hesitated, "Okay."
Conan then began to wander around openly.
Soon, he stopped beside a small table and looked at the things on the table thoughtfully: "Speakers, LD, DVD, AV amplifier, channel selector, and TV remote control... There are so many devices here. The remote controls alone fill up the entire table."
