1156 [The boss just wants to drop by the door] Ask for a monthly pass (?)?
Although the commission this time was suspected to be related to arson, it was only a suspicion. Toyama Kazuye and Mao Lilan obviously had little interest in it.
"You go on your own, let's go shopping in the nearby shopping mall, and then go home to cook." Yuanshan and Ye waved to the detectives, "Come on and work!"
The two people quickly turned and walked away while talking and laughing.
…
"Well... let me take a look at the commission." Hattori Heiji took out a notebook and confirmed what Detective Kusukawa told his client, "Acupido Town 4-chome, a family named Morokaku."
"Acupido 4-chome?"
Conan remembered something: "When Mr. Okishi was taking notes, I took a sneak peek and it seems that his home is in the 4th-chome of Cupido Town."
"Are you talking about the narrow-eyed man who encountered three accidents in half a day and was almost hit by a truck?" Hattori Heiji laughed, "He shouldn't be so unlucky."
Conan sighed: "That's not necessarily true. I always feel that Mr. Oki is being targeted by something."... Especially Subaru's previous reminder about "someone sniping at the elevators of the Twin Towers".
The more Conan thought about it, the more he realized that this graduate student was not simple.
"..." Jiang Xia nodded silently, pretending to agree.
But I clicked an × in my heart: What does it mean to be targeted? It was obviously due to the incident of losing Subaru, and his physique was awakened in a very satisfactory manner. In addition, he had a lot of contact with Conan and Mao Lilan...
…
However, when they arrived at the place, the three detectives discovered that although they were in the same 4-chome, the Subaru family and the Morokaku family were not next to each other.
There was even a long distance between them.
Jiang Xia: "..." Subaru was surprised beside him, and he felt that he had lost some fun.
Fortunately, although they are not directly adjacent to each other, they are still in the same neighborhood, which is not far from Subaru's house.
Jiang Xia secretly thought: Why not let the ghost float over later to see what the younger brother is doing at the moment, learn more about his subordinates' usual hobbies and trends, and be a good and considerate boss...
"..." Of course, even if your heart is beating, you can't just hang up and look for Subaru.
As a good detective who unfortunately didn't encounter a car accident, I still have to go through the process of investigating the commission.
…
"It should be right here."
Hattori Heiji stopped at the door of a house uncertainly. He looked at his watch and felt a little embarrassed: "A little late. Mr. Kusukawa emphasized several times, saying that the client has a very good sense of time and has a very bad temper...
"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Jiang Xia: "How about you ring the doorbell?"
...I always feel that Jiang Xia seems to be very friendly. If he takes the lead, he will probably not get scolded.
Jiang Xia is not afraid of others getting angry with her, and even wants to make others angry.
He looked back at the street corner, walked over and rang the doorbell of Zhukaku's house.
The doorbell rang, but no one came to open it until it finished ringing.
Hattori Heiji and Conan were still watching secretly at first.
Seeing this situation at this time, they couldn't help but frowned and their eyes narrowed: "... Nothing will happen."
The courtyard door of this single-family house is open at this time.
In broad daylight, this actually looks normal.
But at this time, this scene suddenly became strange in the eyes of the two detectives.
They quickly ran to the door and were about to try to knock or knock on the door.
At this time, through the door, someone suddenly said sharply at the entrance:
"If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
Almost at the same time, Jiangxia grabbed the hands of Hattori Heiji and Conan who were about to push the door open, and whispered: "Let's check the situation first."
The two detectives nodded and huddled furtively at the door to eavesdrop.
…
The person who just shouted that she wanted to call the police sounded like a middle-aged woman.
At this time, another man's voice sounded in the room, with a humble and flattering tone:
"I'm really not that kind of scammer salesman - well, my name is Genda Takatoku, and I'm the manager of an antique shop. My shop is in Rizen Town next door, not far from here, so I wanted to ask you to take a look
Our store’s brochures and collection catalogues, please feel free to visit us if needed in the future.”
Zhujiao Ryoko sneered: "I'm not interested in that kind of scrap metal covered in dust."
Xuantian Lunde sighed, holding a product catalog and a small gift in a box with both hands: "Then I won't bother you. Please accept this, it is a small token of appreciation from our store..."
"Hmph, do I look like the kind of poor guy who just wants some free gifts?" Ryoko Morokaku slapped the album, sending the picture album and gifts flying away, "Get out of here!"
"...Yes, I'm sorry to bother you." Xuantian Longde lowered his head to pick up the brochures and small gifts from his shop, turned around and opened the door, and wanted to leave in a panic.
When he raised his head, he was caught off guard and met the eyes of the three people outside, and was slightly startled.
The three detectives moved awkwardly out of the way.
Xuantian Lunde silently nodded to them and left quickly.
In this way, Ryoko Zhujiao also saw the three sneaky guys outside.
She frowned and was about to curse again.
But after a closer look, this time it was a handsome young man who didn't look like an annoying salesman at all, so he managed to be a little more patient, swallowed back the curses, and just asked: "Why are you blocking my door?"
Jiang Xia looked at her kindly: "We are friends of Mr. Nanchuan. He seems to have received a commission from you, saying that at night, suspicious figures appear in this area... Something happened to him and he couldn't come over, so
Let's check on him."
"Kusukawa?...Oh, that detective."
Ryoko Zhukaku thought of something and waved her hand perfunctorily: "No, if you think about it carefully, it must have been my illusion at the time. I was too tired during that time, so my eyesight was dazzled. It's none of your business, go back quickly."
"..." Conan and Hattori Heiji looked suspiciously.
However, Ryoko Morokaku obviously did not have the patience to answer questions and acted as if she was busy seeing off guests.
The three of them had no choice but to go out again.
…
As soon as they arrived at the door, before they could discuss why the strange Morokaku Ryoko had gone back on her promise, a car suddenly approached and screeched to a stop at the door of this house.
A tall middle-aged man stepped out of the car, wearing a crisp suit.
He looked at the three detectives who had just left the house in surprise, glanced at Jiang Xia, and was slightly startled. After a moment, he passed by them as if nothing had happened and entered the yard of Zhujiao's house.
The man greeted Ryoko Morokaku who was still at the door: "How are you feeling lately?"
"Why did you come so early today?" Ryoko Morokaku saw him and showed a bright smile. She pointed to the shoe cabinet at the door, "Look, I placed this porcelain jar as you said. I really feel lucky recently.
