Chapter 3253 3265 [Pickup Detective]
Jiang Xia turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and found that the person who came was the person he had just discussed with Haibara Ai not long ago - Kudo Yukiko.
"Yukiko...sister." Before Kudo Yukiko could correct him, Jiang Xia consciously changed to the name that the neighbor aunt liked, "Are you back home?"
"No one, only me!" Theoretically, she is over 30 years old, but in fact, her appearance and personality are still like a girl. Kudo Yukiko lifted her high ponytail and said casually, "Yusaku is still rushing to finish his manuscript. He is being watched by several editors and can't leave at all - so I have to take care of his affairs in China. This time, I came back with a mission!"
"Really?" Jiang Xia looked at her with great interest. "What mission?"
Kudo Yukiko touched her small bag, searched for a while, and took out a slightly wrinkled letter from it: "It's from a friend of Yusaku. That person said that someone in his family received a threatening letter. He was worried that something might happen, so he wanted to ask Yusaku to help investigate and eliminate the hidden dangers."
"It's a pity that Yusaku can't leave, and I'm not very good at investigating cases, so I wanted to take Shinichi with me to his house, but..." Kudo Yukiko scratched her cheek and looked at the door of the detective agency, "It seems that Shinichi is not at home?"
Jiang Xia also looked back.
Just now, when he was standing outside knocking on the door, the ghosts had already politely entered and taken a look at the situation - there was no Mouri Ran and Conan in the Mouri Detective Agency, only a Mouri Kogoro who was tied up on the sofa, sleeping uneasily, and snoring with a frown on his face.
After a brief moment of thought, a psychic suppressed his conscience and nodded: "I knocked on the door just now, but no one answered. He must have gone out."
"Then there's nothing we can do." Although Kudo Yukiko was sighing, there wasn't much worry in her tone. She hugged Jiang Xia's arm and smiled, "In that case - little Jiang Xia, let's go!"
Although she didn't kidnap her son to be used as a tool to solve the case, she kidnapped a sensible and obedient neighbor's child. Thinking of Jiang Xia's speed in solving the case in the report, she felt that this trip was not a loss at all, but a gain.
…
Yukiko Kudo drove to the scene with the little helper she had just caught to solve the case.
While driving, she was also busy talking, telling Jiang Xia what she knew.
As a detective whose husband and son are both detectives, Kudo Yukiko knows very well that detectives solving cases are not magic - only by inputting enough clues can they process out the corresponding truth.
“It’s like this, when Yusaku attended a gathering of mystery novel authors, he met an author named Fujieda Shigeru.
"This Mr. Fujieda has no interest in inheriting the family business, and his novels have not been very successful, so he is currently unemployed and living with his sister. After his parents passed away, all the inheritance was handed over to his sister and brother-in-law to manage."
"And recently, his brother-in-law has been receiving threatening letters. Mr. Fujieda is very worried about the atmosphere at home, but he can't find the person who sent the threatening letter, so he asked Yusaku for help."
Jiang Xia nodded and began to search for suspects according to the procedure: "Does the person who received the threatening letter have many enemies?"
"So many!" Even while driving, Kudo Yukiko did not forget to stretch out her hand and make a big circle. "That guy is Fujieda Mikio, a wealthy man in Tokyo. I wonder if you have met him before."
As soon as she finished speaking, the talkative and lively actress asked herself and answered, "Probably not. Fujieda Mikio is mainly doing some shady things, so he must have no intersection with you normally."
Jiang Xia: “…” Things that are not allowed to be seen in public have more interactions with detectives. It seems that good people don’t need to find detectives.
But these are all minor matters. He did not refute the neighbor aunt who still treated him as a child, but only replied: "I haven't come into contact with it yet."
"No contact is a good thing." Kudo Yukiko mentioned Fujieda Kan'ao and snorted with some dissatisfaction, "This man is a wealthy man, but his reputation is very bad, and his money is not clean. I heard that he did a lot of bad things when he was young, and later, I don't know what means he used to capture the heart of a young lady and successfully married into her family."
"Relying on his wife's family's capital and connections, he secretly started an illegal business and made a lot of dirty money."
"I see." Jiang Xia said casually, "So after receiving the threatening letter, the capitalist lady was worried about her husband's safety and asked her brother to ask Uncle Yusaku for help?"
"That's not the case." Yukiko Kudo couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned this:
"That young lady with poor vision died of illness half a year ago. Not long after that, Fujieda Mikio married his second wife."
…
"Second wife?"
The other side.
Another car had already driven in the same direction.
While taking Ran Maori and Conan to the client's house, Kisaki Eri asked about the specific situation of the client in detail. Ran Maori did not dare to delay, racking her brains to recall all the details and told her everything she knew.
And Eri Kisaki actually knew the Fujieda family: Fujieda Shigeo always jumped on the boundaries of the law, dealt with lawyers frequently, and was a strange and rigid person. He was considered a celebrity in the Tokyo legal circle.
At this time, hearing the news from Eri Kisaki, Mao Lilan raised her voice in surprise: "In other words, the woman who came to my father to ask for a commission is Fujieda Shigeo's new wife in the past six months? ... But didn't that capitalist lady just pass away six months ago, and Mr. Fujieda is a son-in-law, this... this is not good."
Conan understood another thing: "..." No wonder that woman threw 10 million at a commission that could be solved with 200,000 or 300,000... It's not her own money, so she doesn't feel bad about spending it.
Hibiki Eri didn't know that the elementary school student in the back seat was trying to figure out the darkness of society. She sighed at her daughter's question, "People are forgotten when they are gone. Besides, after so many years, the resources of that young lady's family have long been taken away by Fujieda Kan'o - let alone half a year, even if he suddenly got married the next day after his wife died, no one would be surprised."
As she was talking, Hibiki suddenly realized that this topic should not be discussed with two minors. So she cleared her throat, ignored the two pairs of curious ears in the back seat, and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, go over and take a look, and everything will be clear."
After driving forward for a while, finally, a luxurious house appeared in front of them.
