As his thoughts spread, Uehara Katsumi paused as he went upstairs. He turned sideways and glanced down the stairs at the detective duo who were racking their brains to deceive people. At this moment, his mind seemed to be enlightened and enlightened.
Squeeze it further, open up the situation, and don't limit your sights to this one possible case - in the future, all cases involving Conan will be thrown to him. Wouldn't this perfectly solve the problem of piling up the case reports?
Thinking of this, Uehara Katsumi subconsciously reached out to cover his chest, feeling the heart beating warmly in his chest. It seemed that it was also praising the ingenuity of this plan, which was unparalleled in the world.
"I'm such a genius."
After slowly exhaling and calming down the suddenly high heart rate, Katsumi Uehara walked to the door of the master bedroom on the third floor under the guidance of the maid. Then he suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and raised his hand to knock on the door - —
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
"Please come in."
As soon as the neat knock on the door fell, a clear voice came from inside. Katsumi Uehara, who felt something familiar, pushed open the door and walked in. The sight he saw made him a little surprised.
The large bedrooms are all decorated in a classic and luxurious style, and you can see that the materials used are expensive. An urban beauty wearing a light green suit like him stood in front of the bed with a stack of documents in her hands. Her eyes under her short brown hair were a little more surprised when she saw the visitor.
"Officer Uehara?"
"Are you... Miss Hinata?" Uehara Katsumi was a little surprised when he finally remembered the identity of this urban beauty after searching around in his mind.
If I remember correctly, when they met him and Miwako at the cake shop, the woman introduced herself as the secretary to the chairman of the Nagato Group. However, he was clearly called here by the chairman, so why was the secretary still surprised when he saw him?
"Oh? So does Officer Uehara know Yuki? In that case, it will save me a lot of introduction time." On the big bed, a plump old man leaned on the bedside and couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this. .
A simple and honest face, plump limbs, and a kind temperament.
Judging from appearance alone, this old man who is technically only sixty years old does not look too old, and the temperament revealed in his words and deeds is somewhat similar to Dr. A Li.
It's just that unlike Dr. Agasa, this old man is a giant who can shake most of Japan's construction and economic circles with just a stomp of his feet——
Nagato Group Chairman, Nagato Michizan.
"I met Miss Hinata once in a cake shop before, but I can't say we know her."
After coming back to his senses, Katsuki Uehara smiled slightly, took out a delicate small gift box from his suit pocket with his right hand, and handed it to Hinata Yuki, who was obviously the old man's deputy: "A small gift, I wish you a happy birthday. May you have a happy birthday." President of the Gate.”
"It's costing you, Uehara Police Department." Nagato Douzan happily waved his hand to Hinata Sachi who was hesitant to speak, and stopped it: "It's just like what Shiro said, he is young and promising, and he has a lot of talent."
Shirou, probably only Suzuki Shirou can be called so affectionately by someone of Nagato Douzan's level.
Suzuki Sonoko's father, the head of the Suzuki Consortium, a Japanese chaebol-level tycoon in this world, a super-digit figure in one super power, and the most important thing is that he is still in good health.
"President Nagato is flattering you." Katsuki Uehara is very good at pretending to be nice.
Facing a chaebol leader who has spent half his life dealing with human beings, it would be better for him to just pretend.
"There's no need to be modest." Nagato Douzan, who looked very satisfied, turned to the female secretary Hinata Yuki who was standing by the bed and ordered: "Yuki, please go and inform the board members of my decision-making approval first."
"Yes, President."
Hinata Sachi, who was holding a stack of documents, glanced at Katsuki Uehara vaguely, turned around and left on high heels.
What does the president want to tell him?
Why did I not know he was coming?
Two doubts swirled in Hinata Xing's mind, and the moment she closed the door, her face became worried.
Compared to Hattori Heizo, the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters who she had known would come to celebrate her birthday today, Uehara Katsumi's appearance was not in her plan.
The reason why she was able to face Hattori Heizo without getting upset was simply because she knew that this man had many things to do. He would simply come to celebrate President Nagato's birthday and then leave. Even if there was an investigation, he would not be able to investigate the whole process personally.
But Katsumi Uehara was different. This man was obviously invited to investigate something, but she knew nothing about it.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree. Compared to the sleeping famous detective Mouri Kogoro, she is still more afraid of the police in police uniforms.
"A very beautiful woman, right? Uehara Police Department."
After Hinata Yuki left, Nagato Dōsan, who was sitting on the bed, withdrew his gaze and sounded a little emotional. Hearing this, Katsuki Uehara raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
"She is the daughter of my first love, and she will marry my son Xiuchen next month."
Out of the blue, Nagato Dōsan suddenly said such a sentence, which directly shattered the divergent associations in Katsuki Uehara's heart.
The daughter of first love? Marry your son?
what is this? If I can't get you, let my son get your daughter?
When it comes to playing, people from your consortium know how to play.
In his mind, he was speculating about the drunken life of the people in the consortium. Uehara Katsumi, who still had a calm expression on his face, listened obediently to the old man's speech without interrupting.
"Fortunately, she is very smart and virtuous. She will definitely be able to help Xiuchen support the family in the future, so I am very worried about her safety."
——? !
When Katsuki Uehara heard these remarks, his pupils shrank and he frowned: "President Nagato, do you mean that someone is going to be detrimental to Miss Hinata?"
"I am not sure."
The old man shook his head and said solemnly: "But what I am sure of is that someone must take action against our family members. Otherwise, I would not have heard those strange sounds at all in the middle of the night last time.
"And those sounds happened not long after she moved in."
"President Nagato, do you mean someone who lives in this manor?" Uehara Katsumi, who understood the implication, took out a notepad and pen from his pocket and asked.
"Yes."
"Do you have a general range of suspicion?"
"If I have to say it, there is indeed one, but it's just a suspicion."
"who?"
"My second daughter's husband, Nagato Mitsuyo." When he mentioned this name, the kind expression on the old man's face disappeared in an instant.
"Nagato, light?"
Uehara Katsumi flipped through the information recorded in advance on the notepad. It showed that Nagato Mitsuyo is the husband of Nagato Yasue, the third daughter of Nagato Road. He is currently the president of Nagato Construction Co., Ltd., and he is considered to have a high position in the Nagato Foundation. .
"Yes. He is my son Hidetomi's childhood playmate. It can be said that I almost watched him grow up with my own eyes. It is precisely because of this that I was very happy when Guangming was willing to marry into our Nagato family. Guangming He is very capable, so Kang Jiang only needs to do his job as a good wife and rest easy.”
Speaking of his son-in-law's past, Mr. Nagato looked regretful: "But what I never expected is that now he has grown so big that he dares to covet my position and rights as chairman.
"My son Hidetomi burned his face in a fire when he was in high school, and he is unwilling to take over the group in public. Therefore, if the wedding is held as scheduled, then Guangming will face Hidetomi's representative Xinglai to compete with him."
"..."
I understand, co-authorship is caused by fighting over family property.
Uehara Katsumi, who was writing on the notepad, raised his eyebrows and understood in his heart: "I understand, I will try my best to investigate clearly, President Nagato."
"Excuse me, Uehara Police Department."
Looking at the talented Uehara Katsumi, Nagato Douzan sighed with emotion: "It would be great if you were my son-in-law."
What he said was somewhat suggestive.
The rescued eldest daughter of Suzuki Shiro's family was promised to marry, so the remaining youngest daughter, Suzuki Sonoko, could only recruit a son-in-law.
He is different.
In addition to a younger daughter who has married a son-in-law and a son who is about to get married, he also has an older daughter who has not yet found a suitable husband.
As long as Uehara Katsumi is willing, he will have no problem even if he doesn't change his surname and marry into his wife, as long as he has a son in the future who will change his surname to Nagato. After all, with such a smart and capable gene, Katsumi Uehara felt it was a pity not to have a surname of Nagato.
The Nippon Foundation has always held the view that my son may be a loser, but the son-in-law I spent so much effort to recruit is definitely a figure.
Although his eldest daughter is a bit older, she is 39 years old this year. But there is a saying that for people at their level, if a man is flying colorful flags outside, as long as he doesn't bring it home and make a mess of feathers all over the place, he can just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye.
After all, Katsumi Uehara is not that kind of incompetent scumbag.
Uehara Katsumi, who knew the elegant meaning from the sound of the string, just smiled and said, "You are exaggerating, President Nagato."
