Chapter 3236 3248 [Three Good Employees Bourbon]
Toru Amuro followed Conan's gaze and found that it was true. He looked at the various remote controls and said, "You know a lot of things."
Conan said skillfully: "Brother Jiang Xia taught me."
Amuro Toru: "..." Did Jiang Xia teach you the tracking technique? No, Jiang Xia doesn't seem to be so sneaky usually.
But no matter how weird Conan is, he is just a harmless child after all. In comparison...
Toru Amuro adjusted his focus and quickly focused on the suspicious commission at the moment.
He looked to the side: there were not only these videotapes and remote controls, but also some movie posters neatly stacked on the floor of the room - it seemed that this client was a real hardcore movie fan.
Just as I was thinking, suddenly, the doorbell rang.
——Another guest has arrived.
Amuro Toru subconsciously looked at Conan. If he remembered correctly, this kid usually didn't act alone: "Are your friends here too?"
Conan was at a loss: "I don't think so."
He was playing with a few kids from the Junior Detective Team. If he was doing something else, those kids would have probably come over to join in the fun... But today, he was here to find Jiang Xia, so why would those kids come over to be good kids if they didn't run away?
Jiang Xia walked towards the door: "Go out and take a look and you will know."
Under the slightly curious gaze of the three people, Hideo Goda came to the entrance and opened the door.
Conan and Amuro Toru poked their heads out from the side curiously, and then found that the person who came was not the Boy Detective League, but a fat woman wearing an expensive mink coat and with an impatient look on her face.
As soon as the door opened, she stretched out her hand to Goda Hideo: "Why did you take so long to open the door? Why are you so slow...Okay, give me the money quickly."
Hideo Goda showed a flattering smile. He touched his inner pocket, took out a thick wad of cash, and handed it to the fat woman opposite him: "I finally got together 5 million, you keep it first."
"Five million?" The fat woman with heavy makeup sighed, "Where did the other 15 million go? Didn't I ask you to return me 20 million?"
"I'm really sorry, but this is all I have right now. I should be able to get the remaining 15 million after I sell this house," said Hideo Koda in a low voice.
"Really?" Hearing that the remaining money had been found, the fat woman laughed. "Thank you very much - I'm really sorry to say that selling the house to pay the money sounds like I'm driving you away."
“How could that be?” Goda Hideo scratched his head, looking grateful, “I should be thanking you for giving me so much time. Speaking of which…”
He reached into his pocket like a magician and pulled out a videotape from somewhere with the words "Sakura Jusanlang" written on the box.
Looking down at the tape, Hideo Goda said to the fat woman, "I heard that you were looking for this videotape of Sakura Jusanrou. I spent a lot of effort and finally got it."
"Oh?" The fat woman's eyes lit up, and she took the precious videotape from his hand and laughed, "You're quite sensible. Actually, it's not impossible for you to use your house to pay off my debt. It's just that I just bought a building at a low price recently, which is enough for renting. There's no need to buy another one."
"But now... I've changed my mind." Holding the videotape in her hand, the fat woman walked into the door cheerfully. "Your home theater is really well decorated. I'll watch this movie at your house first. If the experience is good, I'll take a small loss and consider letting you use this house to pay off your debt."
With that, the fat woman walked into the house and headed straight for the movie-themed room - judging from her proficiency, it was obviously not the first time she had watched a movie here.
Hideo Goda followed her reluctantly and helped her put the tape away. He then remembered something and reminded her, "By the way, this video tape is not for sale. I borrowed it from the video store at the station entrance. Remember to return it after you finish watching it."
The fat woman took the remote control from his hand and said impatiently, "I know, I know. Okay, go out now. I don't like to be disturbed when I'm watching a movie."
As she said this, she pushed Hideo Goda out of the house and closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, the smile on Hideo Goda's face could no longer be maintained, and a bit of gritted teeth was revealed.
Jiang Xia walked out from the side and looked at him: "Is that your creditor in the room?"
"I guess so." Hideo Hoda sighed, obviously not wanting to talk about this. "Don't mention her. Help me find my watch first."
…
The three were looking for Hideo Goda's watch.
In the audio-visual room.
"Look at the sword! Sakura Fubuki!"
"Oh my god! How could Sakura…"
One after another, the silly yet passionate lines floated out from the audio-visual room.
Jiang Xia looked in the direction where the sound came from: "The soundproofing in your audio-visual room doesn't seem to be very good."
Hideo Goda looked helpless: "We have tried our best to soundproof it, but Mrs. Izuki always likes to play it very loud, like in a movie theater... It is really difficult to block out such a loud volume in a wooden residential building like this."
Conan counted the rooms he had already searched: "I've searched almost every place I should have searched, but I didn't see the watch you mentioned - could it have been lost in the audio-visual room?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "There are bookshelves and various instruments there, and the light is dim, so it is indeed easier to hide some things."
“This…” Goda Hideo glanced at the audio-visual room and whispered, “It is indeed possible, but Mrs. Izuki is watching a movie in there. We can’t just run in and look for her now. That woman pays great attention to the movie-watching experience. If we go in and rummage through the boxes and cabinets at this time, she will definitely be furious.”
Amuro Toru originally wanted to see what conspiracy this middle-aged man had in mind by specifically looking for Jiang Xia at his home. But now, the battle has dragged on for too long, and he feels that he can't wait any longer: "How long will the movie take?"
"It should be a while." Goda Hideo apologized, "It's almost time for dinner, I'll make you some sandwiches. After dinner, we can go to the audio-visual room to find it. This way, we can both get by at the same time. To be honest, I used to run a coffee shop, and the sandwiches I made were the specialty of the shop."
"Really?" Jiang Xia patted Amuro Toru's shoulder. "My boss also worked in a coffee shop, and the sandwiches he made were also amazing. Why don't you two compete?"
Amuro Toru: "..." Why do you compare such boring things? Why do you have the desire to win in such a strange place?
But he really didn't dare to eat something made by a suspicious person. With this in mind, Amuro Toru went into the kitchen - not to cook, but just to keep an eye on the middle-aged man and tell him not to secretly add ingredients to the sandwich.
