The next day, time jumped to the end of July.
After Chi Feichi received a call from Mao Lilan, he took Sawada Hiroki and Fei Chi to the THK company, but received only Kinukawa Kazuki and took them to Mao Li Detective Agency.
"Brother Toshiya, can't you come over?" Mao Lilan changed the tea into juice and served it to Kinukawa and Hui.
"Thank you, sister~" Kinukawa Hehui said his thanks obediently, immediately making Mao Lilan smile.
Conan sat aside and looked over here. Kinukawa and Hui had European features and cute little freckles on their cheeks. They sat upright with a cute expression. Look over there. Xiaoshu was lying down softly and small. On the sofa, with his head lowered and his face turned red, his face was round and his eyes were dark and bright...
Love from Xiaolan - 1!
Love from Xiaolan - 1!
"Min is also busy with the company and has been very busy recently." Chi Feichi explained to Mao Lilan.
"In that case, let's talk about it another day," Mouri Kogoro leaned lazily on his office chair and looked up at the ceiling, "Didn't you say that this commission is not urgent?"
Mao Lilan glanced over with a dangerous look, "Didn't Dad say yesterday that he had to deal with the commission in hand and had no time to go to dinner with Mom? Then work hard, seriously, and devotedly!"
Hearing these threatening words, Mouri Kogoro sweated, sat up straight, and was forced to do business.
"Brother Toshiya told my father that I might as well handle it myself. If they were here, they were worried that I would feel restrained, and that they would also cause pressure to the woman or cause her to misunderstand." Kinukawa Kazuki explained.
"That woman?" Mao Lilan was curious.
"The biological mother who threw me in front of the church like trash when I was one year old," Kinukawa Kazuki said with a look of displeasure, "I don't want to call her 'Mom'."
"Ah..." Mao Lilan didn't know what to say for a while.
Kinukawa Kazuhui took out a stack of stained postcards and put them on the table, "Anyway, starting from two years ago, she would send me postcards every once in a while until she suddenly stopped half a year ago. I I want to entrust Maori detectives to find her, or figure out what’s going on.”
Mouri Kogoro stood up and walked out of his desk, picked up the postcard on the coffee table and looked at it, "It's really dirty..."
Kinukawa Kazuki said with a cold face, "I felt uncomfortable after receiving it, so I just threw it aside."
"That is, just throw it wherever you can get it, read it several times a day, read it during meals, and maybe before going to bed." Chi Feichi exposed it directly.
"I didn't..." Ningchuan and Hui just wanted to refute, but turned around and saw Chi Feichi's cold face, and were inexplicably frightened, "I don't watch it every day."
Really, can't we just let him pretend it doesn't matter? He also wants to save face, okay?
"That's it..." Mao Lilan understood. For a moment, she was overflowing with sympathy and love, and her eyes at Kinukawa Kazuhui were extremely gentle.
"These postcards only have the name 'Atsuko' written on them, but no address..." Kogoro Mori looked at the postcards, "How do you know this is a letter written by your mother? There is no mention of her being your mother. "
"It's handwriting," Kinukawa Kazuki said. "When she left me at the door of the church, she wrote the words 'his name is Kazuki' on a piece of paper, and also left the name 'Atsuko'. These postcards The handwriting on it is also the same as that on that piece of paper.”
Conan made a prompt and based on the characteristics of one of the postcards, he locked on the line 'hotel hostess at Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture'.
When Conan was frantically prompting, Chi Feichi said nothing and sat on the sofa playing mobile games. While others were obsessed with reasoning, he sent emails to Gin.
【Shizuoka Atami, two days. ——Raki]
"Then let's set off quickly!" Kinukawa Kazuki concealed his inner urgency with a cold face, put on his sunglasses and walked towards the door, "I have a tight schedule and I have to go to school, so it's best to resolve the matter in these two days. Yes, brother Minye said that the room and board expenses during the investigation will be transferred to brother Chi."
"I've received it. If the fee is not enough, I can pay it in advance." Chi Feichi stood up, picked up Feichi, and signaled to Sawada Hiroki that it was time to set off.
Mouri Kogoro caught up with half-moon eyes and murmured in a low voice, "It's like a group of terrible workaholics trying to drag me down. I think I'll just go live on the Shinkansen from now on..."
Mao Lilan originally wanted to criticize Mao Li Kogoro again, but thinking about Chi Feichi's continuous commissions, and the rhythm of taking a plane the day before yesterday, taking a train yesterday, and taking the Shinkansen today, she suddenly found her home Her father's complaint was quite right, and she couldn't bear to retaliate anymore. She was silent for a moment, smiled and comforted her, "Just think of it as a trip to investigate. Me, Conan and Brother Fei Chi will all help, and He Hui is so good." Cute, sometimes I feel a bit like Conan, dad, please help him find him quickly!"
Conan glanced at Kinukawa Kazuki who looked back at them at the door.
How does he look like him? This kid also played a character based on him in the movie "The Detective"...that's all!
…
Atami is not too hot in Japan, but the weather at the end of July is hot enough.
After arriving at Atami, Mouri Kogoro took the postcard with clues and dragged his family around to ask for clues and investigate. He was sweating profusely and had already taken off his suit jacket and put it on his shoulders.
Chi Fei checked the date in the morning and only wore the bear-headed white T-shirt Haibara Ai bought for him last time at Huis Ten Bosch. He could still bear it and hugged Sawada Hiroki who was tired from walking.
Hiroki Sawada's body only had two days left. The later the period, the temporary body made by Koizumi Anko, which was made by magical means, became worse and worse. Basically, the rhythm was "active for half an hour and recharged for five hours."
"Really, I finally came to Atami. Not only did I not take a bath in the hot springs, but I was also covered in sweat..." Mouri Kogoro wiped the sweat from his head.
Mao Lilan read the postcards while walking, "There is only one postcard, so there are still too few clues."
Kinukawa Kazuhui was walking wearing sunglasses. When he saw a woman passing by with a child on the roadside, he suddenly stopped, raised his head and said to Maori Ran, "Sister, please give me a hug!"
Mao Lilan bent down and looked at Kinukawa Kazuhui, "If you are tired from walking, I can carry you."
"Hug! Hug!" Kinukawa Hehui stretched out his hands and acted coquettishly, "I want to hug you!"
Conan: "..."
More coquettish than him!
You actually want Xiaolan to hug you, that’s too much!
"You can be so coquettish!" Mao Lilan smiled and picked up Kinukawa and Hui.
"No..." Conan didn't have time to stop him, so he could only look at Kinukawa and Fai unhappily.
Damn it, the weather is so hot, Xiaolan is still wearing a camisole, and this kid is not a one-and-a-half-year-old child like Xiaoshu...
If Chi Feichi hadn't been holding Xiaoshu, he should have asked Chi Feichi to let this brat have a taste of what it means to be choked by a collar and what it means to carry a baby like a pool!
After Kinukawa Hehui was hugged by Mao Lilan, Mao Lilan could not hold him up and stood up. The fingers of his right hand pointed under the left collarbone of Mao Lilan, "This is it! That woman had a black mole growing here. I still remember when I was a child. I often fall asleep looking at that mole.”
"Huh?" Mao Lilan let go and looked down at her collarbone.
"But my body will be smaller at that time," Kinukawa Kazuki looked at Hiroki Sawada who was yawning, and then looked at Mao Lilan, "The mole should be located further down, so I can hug it. Me once?”
Conan: "!"
Want to go further?
Mao Lilan was also a little embarrassed, but she didn't think a seven or eight-year-old child couldn't be held. "It's okay..."
"Okay, no need," Conan stood in front of Kinukawa and Fai, separated them, and waved awkwardly, "I think I almost know where I am."
Kinukawa Kazuki was dissatisfied with Conan, "But if we don't understand it thoroughly..."
"Forget it," Conan glared at Kazuki Kinukawa with a dark face, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, "I already know it very well!"
After a group of people had lunch, they continued their investigation until late in the evening when they found clues at a hot spring hotel.
In a Japanese-style hotel, the fat middle-aged waitress Kusano Mizu knelt on the floor at the door, looking at the postcard, "This is a limited-sale item, only our store sells it, but it comes in a set of four." The postcards haven’t been selling very well, so there’s really no way around it, so the waitress in our store had to share one point with her, because she couldn’t sell them anyway.”
"It's amazing," Mao Lilan bent down and whispered to Conan, "Conan was absolutely right about the fact that the other party is a waitress in the hotel."
Conan couldn't help but look at Chi Feichi, who was very inactive today, and found that Chi Feichi was hiding aside and opening the mineral water he just bought for Hiroki Sawada, and then silently looked away.
Alas, a good reasoning expert is actually hampered by taking care of children...
"Then, I would like to take the liberty of asking again," Mouri Kogoro said, "Do you have a woman named Atsuko here?"
Kinukawa Kazuki lowered his head and pushed up his sunglasses, pretending not to care.
"No..." Kusano Mitsu said, "We don't have anyone with that name here."
Mouri Kogoro was a little disappointed, "That's right."
Kusano Mitsu's eyes moved up and stared, "Ah, may I ask if you are the famous one..."
"Yes," Mouri Kogoro replied habitually, "I am the famous detective Moori Kogoro."
However, Mizu Kusano ignored Kogoro Mouri, leaned over, and held Kinukawa Kazuki's shoulders in surprise, "You are Kinukawa Kazuki, right?"
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Chi Feichi glanced at it, looked away, helped Zetian Hiroki get the paper towels, and screwed up the mineral water bottle.
Embarrassed for his teacher.
"Yeah." Kinukawa Kazuki was also a little confused by Kusano Mizu's sudden over-enthusiastic attitude.
"Sure enough, I saw it right!" Mizu Kusano continued to be excited. He turned to a waitress who was passing by with a tray and said, "Bessho, come here and see, it's Hehui-kun~!"
The waitress with short hair and a mole on her chin looked sideways, said "Hello" in a low voice, then carried the things and left.
"It's strange, she is a huge fan of Hehui," Mizu Kusano was confused for a moment, then smiled, "She is probably shy."
With that said, Mizu Kusano approached Kinukawa Kazuki and asked expectantly, "By the way, Kazuki, what are you doing here today? Do you want to stay here?"
"No," Mouri Kogoro wanted to explain, "Actually..."
"Hum hum……"
A sneer came from the door. A man with long hair tied back, carrying a handbag and a camera stood at the door, looking at Kinukawa Kazuhui with a weird smile, "I think you are here to find someone, right? Find the mother who cruelly abandoned you."
