Chapter 193 Rainy days can also make people depressed
"You arrogant brat..."
Misari Ito climbed up to the attic with a ladder and looked at the two high school students from Osaka with their hands tied together behind their backs, with a gloomy look on their face.
She has been feeling quite depressed recently.
This famous lawyer has a very good reputation in the outside world. Even Fei Yingli, the queen of the legal world, mentioned to her daughter Xiaolan that she was a lawyer who would charge very low remuneration no matter what the case was.
But underneath her bright personality, she is doing some unknown deeds.
These activities were caught by a man named Nanchuan, and today he used a tape that could be used as evidence as a threat to come and preach to her.
"It's so funny... This guy really thought I would listen to him and stop... Only after I tortured him did he reveal that the tape was placed in the safe of Dongdu Bank and was set up
What secret code..."
A smile appeared on Misari Ito's lips.
"He died after saying these words. Fortunately, I was lucky and unexpectedly received a call from you, a little detective."
"For the famous high school detective Hattori Heiji in Osaka, this code should be no problem, right?"
Misari Ito showed a piece of paper found from Kusukawa. On the paper, there were irregular numbers and letters arranged in a 7x7 format.
She stepped on the motionless body of Detective Kusukawa.
"Come on, unlock it for me before sunset. If you don't want to be beaten to death like the man who made this code..."
Misari Ito looked at Hattori Heiji with a sinister look.
The main reason for her bad mood was that if she couldn't solve the code until tomorrow and got the tape, a letter with the same code would be couriered to the detective agency where he worked.
Inside the office, and the letter will clearly point out that this is the seven-digit password for the safe deposit box of Dongdu Bank, and inside is a tape recording evidence of a well-known lawyer's assistance in tax evasion.
"Don't I know what he is thinking?"
Misari Ito spat disdainfully.
"They must be trying to use this matter to blackmail me, and then use the money to gamble..."
"By the way, my dad said that Mr. Kusukawa is famous for his love of gambling!" Kazuye also thought of something and said hurriedly.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Hattori Heiji suddenly had an idea in his mind and said loudly.
"Oops!" Misari Ito had an expression of surprise on her face, "Do you have any clues?"
"yes……"
The doubts in Hattori Heiji's mind were finally solved, but he knew that he must not tell this woman that he already knew the principle of the code at this moment.
Having met Detective Kusukawa and knowing the facts of Misari Ito's crimes, they had already anticipated what the lawyer would do to him and Kazuha after losing the protection of breaking the code.
"Let me think about it quietly for a while, and I guess I can figure it out..."
He tried to delay.
"Oh? That's great..."
Misari Ito looked closely at Hattori Heiji's scarred face and warned:
"Don't play any tricks... When the Maori detective came to this room just now, you must have tasted what it feels like to be dishonest..."
After saying that, she called the two accomplices guarding Heiji and Ye to go downstairs.
"Then we'll go down and have a cup of tea and wait for you. Give your head a try..."
When the three of them got down to the attic, Kazuye called softly: "Heiji..."
"Okay, it's okay, Mr. Kusukawa, are you okay? Because the dust around your nose keeps moving."
Heiji looked at Detective Kusukawa who was presumed dead.
"As expected of the chief's son..." came Kusukawa's extremely weak voice.
"It doesn't matter, just keep pretending to be dead. If they know you are still alive, they will point a gun at us and force you to tell the answer to the code."
What did the confidence in Heiji's words make Kazuha feel:
"Heiji, you have untied..."
"Yes, it is indeed a code that Mr. Kusukawa, who likes gambling, would come up with... From now on, our chance to give it a try is here..."
The corners of Heiji's mouth rose, and the plan he had just been brewing in his mind came to mind.
"Dingling--dinging--"
However, two sudden doorbells suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
He hurriedly looked towards the door from the small window in the attic. Kazuye also moved next to him, wanting to see who this new visitor was.
"Heiji, that's..."
With just one glance, Kazuye took a deep breath.
"Ah...then we should be safe. Although I don't know why he came, but the guy next to him should have informed him, right?"
Hattori Heiji's tense body suddenly relaxed, and his heart was filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
He looked at the two lawyer's men who hurriedly opened the secret door of the attic and climbed up on ladders. He knew that they were worried about being seen by visitors, and at the same time they were also monitoring themselves so as not to make any noticeable noise.
[Don't worry, there won't be any small tricks...because even if you don't use small tricks, you will be done. It's just that the strategy I just prepared doesn't seem to be used.]
When Misari Ito heard the doorbell downstairs, she cursed inwardly, "Why are there so many people coming to the door today?" She hurriedly picked up the cat, and while motioning to her subordinates to go up to the attic to watch Hattori Heiji, he hung up the professional Madonna and Mercy.
Smiling, he opened the door and walked out, seeing the man standing outside the door.
"Hello, is this lawyer Misari Ito?"
Yuan Huaiyu looked at the lawyer with a bright smile.
"It's me, who are you?"
Ito Misari recognized it again and again, confirming that she did not recognize the handsome young man in front of her, and asked with a confused look on her face.
"Hello, aunt!"
Edogawa Conan flashed out from behind Yuanhuaiyu.
"Oh? You weren't the one who was with Detective Maori just now..."
Misari Ito quickly recognized Conan as the child who followed Kogoro Mori to find her.
"Excuse me, what's wrong with you? Did you forget something?"
She is holding a cute cat and her kind face makes it easy for people to relax their vigilance.
"Auntie, I think this house is weird."
Conan cleared his throat and began to say:
"Look, there are a lot of muddy shoe prints at your door, which means a lot of people must have been here..."
"Yes, that's because before the rain stopped, a person who I helped him with a lawsuit came to me with his family to thank me..."
Attorney Misari Ito’s good mind allowed her to quickly find a reasonable reason.
"Then why do these shoe prints only show signs of entering and not leaving?"
Before Misari Ito could react, Yuan Huaiyu stretched out his hand at lightning speed and grabbed the mouth of the woman in front of him, making her speechless.
"It's really depressing to have to go out on a rainy day - so I just want to finish here quickly and go home and lie down comfortably."
