"So, Mr. Ozawa, why did you come to see me?"
Maori Detective Agency, the TV is still broadcasting reports about Clover Villa.
Maori Lan walked out of the kitchen with tea. Maori Kogoro sat on the sofa and looked at Ozawa Daisuke opposite.
"Thank you...that's it, Detective Mori."
Taking the tea handed over by Mao Lilan, Daisuke Ozawa thanked him seriously, and then explained:
"Our president has noticed that there seem to be some strange people around him recently, so he wanted me to ask you, Detective Mori, to be the president's bodyguard..."
"Huh? B-bodyguard?!"
The expression on Mouri Kogoro's face was a little distorted, and the scene before him always gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
【Ha ha……】
The corner of Conan's mouth twitched, and he was smiling.
He thought of Katsuragi Toma, who also came to Mouri Kogoro to be a bodyguard some time ago. This person also said at the beginning that there were some strange people around him, but in the end, inexplicably, they were involved in Onymar. At the same time, even Karasumaying, who went abroad, was affected by this incident...
Is this going to happen again in the past?
"Um..." Mao Lilan on the side smiled and couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Ozawa, my father is a detective?"
"Xiaolan is right." Mouri Kogoro also came to his senses at this time, nodded, and said: "Mr. Ozawa, I am just a small detective. For bodyguards, you still need to hire a professional bodyguard company. .”
"What Detective Maori said is absolutely true, but the president is more willing to believe in you, the famous detective, than to rely on the police."
"Ah? Is that so? Then your president is really discerning! Hahahaha!"
Being flattered a little by Daisuke Ozawa, Kogoro Mouri felt extremely comfortable.
With a slight smile, Ozawa Daisuke continued: "Of course, in addition to this, the president himself also has the idea of not wanting the police to make the matter bigger.
After all, our Moriyama Company is a big company that attracts a lot of attention, so many times, even some unimportant news may be exploited by some interested people and eventually turned into a weapon to attack our company.
Detective Maori, the reason why the president chose to entrust you is also a recognition of your professional ability and professional ethics. If you are willing to accept this entrustment, then..."
With that said, Ozawa Daisuke put the small suitcase at his feet on the table and opened it.
Inside the small suitcase was a pile of neatly stacked banknotes. The number must have been in the millions, which made Mouri Kogoro's eyes widen.
"These are prepaid commission fees." After closing the box, Daisuke Ozawa said with a smile: "If you are willing to accept this commission and can find those who want to harm the president while ensuring his safety, At that time, the president will express his gratitude."
"Hmph, hum hum hum..."
Hearing his words, Mouri Kogoro suddenly raised his hand to adjust his collar, and the calm smile of an adult man appeared on his face again.
"Since President Moriyama trusts me so much, how can I have the nerve to refuse? I, Kogoro Mori, have accepted this commission!"
"That's great, Detective Mori."
"Huh? Dad, what about going to Clover Villa with Mr. Qingshui and the others today..."
"Clover Villa?" Daisuke Ozawa asked in confusion after hearing this: "Mr. Mori, are you going to Clover Villa today?"
"Well, we did have this arrangement before, but now that we have accepted the commission from President Moriyama..."
"Ah, that's just right, because the president has been at Clover Villa recently because of the first anniversary meeting.
I've got the car ready. If you don't mind, how about we leave now? "Ozawa Daisuke said immediately.
"Oh! That's great!"
In this way, the Maori family followed Daisuke Ozawa and left the office.
During this period, Mao Lilan called Dr. A Li and Qing Shui Jing respectively and told them about the incident, telling them that they did not need to come over anymore and that they would go directly to Clover Villa to meet.
【Is it a troublesome thing if you don’t want to call the police...】
Conan, who was walking at the back, put his hands in his pockets and lowered his head in thought.
Perhaps because of the aftermath of the Onymar incident, he always felt that this commission might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Hope nothing happens...
"The car is parked just ahead. Detective Mori, please follow me."
"good."
After leaving the office, Ozawa Daisuke walked in front and led the way.
【Um? 】
Just as a few people were walking through a roadside alley, Conan at the back suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a woman lying behind the trash can at the entrance of the alley.
"Ah, uncle, there seems to be a big sister who has fainted here!"
Conan shouted loudly, and at the same time quickly ran behind the trash can, stretched out his hand and tried the woman's neck.
[The pulse is normal and there are no wounds on the body. It seems that he is just unconscious... Huh? 】
Suddenly, he felt that this woman looked familiar. Conan brushed her messy hair aside and was stunned when he saw her face.
【how come……】
"What?! Who passed out?!"
At this moment, Mouri Kogoro hurriedly ran over, and after seeing the woman's appearance, an incredible look appeared on his face.
"Shima, Miss Kananko Shimazaki?!"
"..."
On the other side, in the Beiye Building among the four buildings "southeast, northwest, and southeast" of Clover Villa, the young detective team who had been sent to the hospital in advance by Dr. Ali who was going to the hospital for examination were panting and climbing the stairs.
"Wow, how many floors have we climbed?" After climbing another flight of stairs, the sweating little fat man Yuanta sat down on the ground.
"I can't remember it for a long time..." Mitsuhiko put his hands on his knees and gasped.
"Thirteenth floor."
Behind them, Haiyuan Ai, who was wearing a mask and hat, held on to the handrail of the stairs and walked up step by step.
Judging from the rapid rise and fall of her chest, it seemed that her condition was no better than that of the two little boys.
"This building seems to have thirty floors, right? Now it's thirteen floors, so what's left is thirty minus..."
"There are seventeen floors left." Hui Yuan Ai replied as he leaned against the wall to adjust his breathing.
"Ugh! You didn't even get halfway up?!"
"Damn it! If the elevator hadn't been suddenly repaired, we wouldn't have had to climb the thirty floors!"
"By the way, will the flying monster really appear?" Ayumi couldn't help but ask as she finally climbed up the stairs.
"It will definitely appear!" Yuantai shouted loudly.
It is said that in the Beiye Building of Clover Villa, there will be a mysterious figure flying around in the sky late at night, which is very scary.
The purpose of the young detective team's trip to Clover Villa is to find out the true identity of this mysterious flying weirdo.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing."
Haiyuan Ai took out her mobile phone from her pocket and urged the three of them: "You guys go up first. The doctor has sent me a message. I will follow him after I reply to him."
"I understand, Xiao Ai, do you want to hurry up?"
"Um."
Watching the three of them continue to go upstairs, Haibara Ai turned on her phone, but what was inside was not a text message from Dr. A Li, but Conan.
[Haiyuan, I always feel that something bad may happen to this Clover Villa. You and those children should be more careful. 】
Oh, is it the great detective’s intuition?
The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and just when Haihara Ai was about to reply, he suddenly heard noisy footsteps coming from the bottom of the stairs, as well as a deep male voice.
"Lilac, haven't they come yet?"
【lilac? Is this a flower name? 】
