Mrs. Morokaku knelt down half-kneeling, like a considerate housewife, and helped Soga's husband:
"Okay, don't keep squatting in front of the cabinet. My husband will be back soon.
"The reason why you came to my house today is to have a drink with him, right? In that case, then act like you are having a drink with a friend, and don't be sullen - after all, you are also college classmates and know each other somewhat. If you
If you behave too abnormally, my husband will notice it, and you don’t want others to know about these things."
"..."
Mr. Soga stood up silently, and the two of them left with different moods.
…
After they left the house.
The three detectives also slipped out of the yard silently and returned to the hidden alley where they had just been watching.
"...The world of adults is so complicated."
Conan and Hattori Heiji sighed, thinking about the huge amount of information they had just overheard, and felt strangely.
"A considerable part of the commissions received by the detectives are to find evidence of the client's derailment." Jiang Xia looked back at the rather beautiful single-family house, "Some of them are for routine inspections when there is nothing to do, and most of them are for routine inspections.
Get evidence, share more property, or offset your cheating."
Jiang Xia actually likes this kind of entrustment, like a lottery. But most of the time, he only goes once: to see the entruster, and then to take a look at the entruster's monitoring objects from a distance.
If neither of them takes the risk of murder, then leave the tracking task to those unscrupulous boys.
"..." Speaking of which, Jiang Xia secretly thought that after mastering the essence of "catching cats" and "investigating cheating", the younger brothers can almost find a position in the detective agency... I'll ask them if they are willing to do it another day.
Go. Perhaps in this way, Tokyo will once again have a large number of detectives and develop sustainably.
…
Just as they were thinking about it, Conan suddenly noticed something next to him and whispered to them: "Why did that antique shop manager suddenly come back again?"
Jiang Xia put away her thoughts and looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Xuantian Longde did not go to Mrs. Zhujiao's house to scold her this time, but walked out of another house and left quickly.
Before he could look any further, another middle-aged man approached.
This time it was a stranger who came. But he was only a stranger to the detectives - he walked straight into Morokaku's house, with his briefcase under his arm and a calm demeanor. This natural look of returning home made him look like Morokaku's house.
Mrs. Corner's husband.
"..." Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at this man with subtle sympathy in their eyes.
…
"I'm back." Mr. Zhujiao walked through the courtyard gate and entered the door of the house.
When I opened the entrance door, I saw Mrs. Morokaku and Mr. Soga walking out of the living room together.
Zenggaofu looked a little absent-minded, nodded, and said hello to his old classmate who had just returned home.
Mr. Zhujiao didn't mind that a man suddenly appeared in the house. After all, Mr. Zenggao had a good relationship with them and he often came over. Moreover, today, the two of them had made an appointment to go drinking together.
"I'm going to the bathroom first." Zhu Jiaoming said, looking at Mr. Soga, "I saw your car at the door - since you drove here, I won't go to the garage and sit down later.
Take your car and go."
Mrs. Zhukaku took the briefcase from his hand. Whether it was her actions or her words, she was a considerate housewife: "You are going to drink, and you can't drink and drive. Anyway, the izakaya is not too far from here, so just walk there."
Now, just think of it as exercise."
"Haha, okay then." Zhu Jiaoming thought of something and said smoothly, "Aren't you bored at home by yourself? Let's come together."
"No, I don't like drinking." Mrs. Zhujiao declined.
No matter how considerate she seemed on the surface, she didn't want to miss her favorite TV program just to listen to the conversation of these two stupid men: "There is a late-night broadcast of the football match tonight. I'm going to catch up on my sleep now so that I can have energy at night.
look."
"Okay then." Zhu Jiaoming also knew her temper and did not forcefully persuade her.
…
Not long after, the two men walked out of the house talking and laughing, and left here.
"...finally left."
Hattori Heiji looked at their backs, especially Soga's figure, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The three detectives came at two o'clock in the afternoon, and now they have been waiting until dark: "I'm so hungry. Let's go have a dinner first, and then discuss what to do."
…
There are residential areas nearby, and the nearest restaurant is also on the street.
The three of them walked there hungrily. On the way, Hattori Heiji remembered something and turned to look at Jiangxia:
"There is no clear pattern for the time when an arsonist commits a crime. It could be ten days and a half month, or it could be in the next moment. We can't just sit there and watch... You should have encountered something similar in the detective agency.
Hey, how do professional detectives usually solve this kind of problem?"
Jiang Xia: "..." Of course, throw it to the younger brother, or steal nearby electricity and install a camera.
However, it is difficult to say these things directly. He modified it slightly: "Work as a team, let people who are good in this field come to help, or use technology."
Hattori Heiji and Conan understood: "Should we hire someone to help keep an eye on it, or install a camera? It is indeed more labor-saving."
Jiang Xia: "..."...Tsk, you are indeed an excellent detective Miaozi, he translates really fast.
The two genius detectives not only understood Jiang Xia's meaning instantly, but also accepted it well.
Conan looked down at the button on his body, twisted it and sighed: "Dr. Ali only gave me eavesdropping equipment, not body-worn video... When I get back, I'll ask him when he can upgrade the equipment.
"
…
After leaving the residential area, there were a few restaurants scattered on the street.
Jiang Xia glanced at every store and found to his disappointment that there was no extra murderous aura here, and it would be the same no matter which restaurant he ate at.
So the three of them randomly chose a shop and sat down.
…
Not long after the dishes were served, there were vague sounds of chaos in the street.
When the three of them looked up from the sound, they saw several fire trucks approaching with their lights flashing, and then quickly passed by the street where they were, heading towards the residential area.
"?!"
The word "fire truck" is undoubtedly closely associated with "arson".
Hattori Heiji and Conan instantly became alert and stood up quickly: "It couldn't be that something happened to Fourth-chome!"
The three people looked at each other and quickly rushed out of the hotel.
Jiang Xia remembered something, and in order to avoid being caught by the store manager, she turned back when she just left the store, put down her cash, and then caught up with the two people who ran out just now.
…
Running back to the place where they came from, the detective was surprised to find that the one who caught fire was the Zhukaku's house just now.
