Mouri Kogoro is sick.
Not serious, just a slight cold.
You know, wearing only a pair of underwear and being locked in a gas station bathroom all night, this situation can be said to be strong.
"Drink it while it's hot."
Ye Gengyi brought out a bowl of ginger soup and Coke from the kitchen.
Although the rented car was blown up by Senjian Yoyo, no matter how you shirk it, you can't escape the fact that the dress has gone away with the mountain wind.
As the nominal brother of a certain Phantom Thief, it was naturally difficult to refuse the request to come and visit the 'victim'.
Therefore, he brought home remedies to treat colds early this morning.
"It would be better if I could have a glass of beer..." A certain toolman held ginger soup and coke in his hands with a look of longing on his face.
"Dad, don't think about this kind of thing."
Mao Lilan picked up the small account book beside him and said, "The commission fee of 2 million, after settling the bills you owe to the izakaya and the restaurant, the remaining fee is just enough to return the car rental agency and buy the dress. If it weren't for Brother Geng, We also brought rice and flour. I’m afraid our life in the next half month will be unsustainable!”
"Hey, are you going to be so exaggerated..."
Mouri Kogoro sweated.
Fortunately, the ringing of the phone saved him from the embarrassment.
A tool man quickly picked up, "Hello! This is the Maori Detective Agency. How can I help you?"
"It's like this. There is someone I want to see no matter what. Please help me look for him..." A gentle voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Oh? Is it your first love, or your cheating husband? As long as you pay the commission fee..." A certain tool almost exposed his true identity, and quickly corrected his words, "Ahem, no, as long as you give the commission to me, Maori Kogoro, all problems can be solved!"
The client said: "That's great. I happen to be near your office. If it's convenient, I'll go there now."
"Ok, I will wait for you."
Mouri Kogoro hung up the phone and let out a breath, "Huh...how about it? How could my detective be stumped by the cost of living?"
"Can I stay and listen to you?"
Ye Gengyi originally wanted to say goodbye, but after thinking about it, he felt that if he could help the other party complete this commission, it would be a small apology for Kaito.
"No problem at all."
Mouri Kogoro waved his hand, "I'll show you the strength of my famous detective!"
...
About 5 minutes passed.
There was a knock on the door of the detective agency.
"..."
Ye Geng was silent when he saw the visitor.
It is different from the surprise of a certain detective and a certain tool man, because he knows this person.
To be more precise, he recognizes the other party, but the other party may not recognize him.
Shizuka Ikeha, of course should be called Shizuka Hattori now, the wife of Hattori Heizo, the mother of Hattori Heiji...
That black man was kidnapped again?
This was Ye Gengyi's first reaction, but he quickly cleared this thought from his mind.
First of all, the other party's expression is very calm, and it doesn't look like a reaction to a son who has been in trouble. Even if you take a step back, assuming that this lady with fair skin, some people believe that she is a stepmother, has no affection for Hattori Heiji at all, the other party It’s not like he would come to see the famous detective Mouri Kogoro.
So to sum up, the person the other party is looking for is not very urgent, and can even be said to be a completely unimportant person.
But if you think about it the other way around, if it’s really important information, but you can’t trouble the Osaka Prefectural Police, or even let Heiji, who is a Kansai high school student detective, know...
It must be an affair, right? Or first love?
It only took Ye Gengyi a few seconds to clear his thoughts.
No, you can't get involved in this matter, you have to go...
"Brother Gengyi, what's wrong with you?"
A certain detective looked around and stopped Ye Gengyi, who had taken a few steps to the door.
"...I forgot to turn off the gas at home." Ye Gengyi said.
Conan: "..."
In that case, wouldn't it be faster to call the doctor or Haiyuan directly?
"Excuse me...Detective Maori..." Chibo Jinghua was a little confused.
By the way, is this office so strange?
When guests come to the door, no one greets them...
"Ah! Sorry, please come in..." Mao Lilan quickly invited people to the sofa.
When I turned around, I saw that my father, who had just been yawning because of a cold, had gone somewhere.
"Sorry, Brother Gengyi, could you please go inside and call my dad." Mao Lilan ran directly to the kitchen to prepare tea.
"Sorry." Chi Bo Jinghua turned his head and smiled towards him.
Ye Gengyi: "..."
Forget it, for the sake of Heiji calling him brother.
Two little brothers are really worrying...
However, since the best time to leave has been missed, it would be better to stay and understand the whole story.
Facts have proved that the cold did not interfere at all with Mouri Kogoro's speed of changing clothes.
Ye Gengyi clearly remembered that the last time he saw this kind of technology was the time when Yoko Okino's boyfriend committed suicide.
"Dear madam, I kept you waiting for a long time. I was just watching some murder cases that were not easy to solve."
A gleaming tool man stepped forward and held Chibo Jinghua's hand in a very gentlemanly manner, "By the way, my assistant didn't neglect you... huh?"
As he said that, a certain tool man turned his head and blinked twice quickly at Ye Gengyi.
Ye Geng said: "Mr. Maoli, is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Maori Kogoro:"......"
He announced that this assistant would be fired from now on...
Conan: "..."
Mao Lilan: "..."
Beautifully done.
"Pfft..."
When Chi Bo Jinghua saw this scene, he couldn't help covering his mouth and laughed. After noticing the four people looking at them, he bowed slightly:
"Sorry, by the way...I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Chibo, and I just called to ask Mr. Mori to help me, because I heard from my friends that the famous detective can definitely help me..."
"Hmph, of course it's no problem. Leave everything to me, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro!"
A certain tool man did not dare to call Ye Gengyi this time, but turned to look at his daughter, "Xiaolan, don't wait any longer! Is the tea brewed yet?"
"Yes Yes..."
Mao Lilan half-moon eyes.
In my heart, I comforted myself that my father was supporting the family...
"So, the person you are looking for is a high school classmate?" Mouri Kogoro asked strangely: "But...if you fill out the graduation album, you should be able to find the address left by that person, right?"
"Because he just moved before graduation," Chibo Jinghua said, "so the address column is empty..."
"Excuse me, is the person you are looking for a former male classmate?" Ye Gengyi asked suddenly.
Boy, I forgive your behavior just now...
Mouri Kogoro was delighted.
Mao Lilan and Conan, as if they heard something incredible, turned to look at Ye Gengyi.
"That's right."
Chiba Jinghua nodded, and immediately took out a photo from his handbag, "This is a group photo of our kendo club. The one holding the trophy in the middle is the person I am looking for. His name is Shibata Shiro."
Ye Gengyi: "..."
Sure enough, we should tell that guy Heiji about this...
