That night, after sending all three little ones home, Yuan Huaiyu drove Conan and Haibara Ai to have dinner, and parked the car at 2-chome 23, Mihua Town, not far from the apartment called Mima Village
at.
"The surveillance may have to wait until midnight. You can sleep in the car for a while first. Children will not grow up if they stay up late."
Yuan Huaiyu said to the two of them with a smile.
Hearing this, the two "children" curled their lips at the same time. Although their current physiological age is indeed that of elementary school students, as long as an antidote can be developed, they can return to the appearance of eighteen or nineteen-year-old high school students.
But after all, they still have the bodies of elementary school students, and they also know that if they don't take a nap first, they will definitely not be able to survive in the middle of the night, so they don't refute.
Haihara Ai held a fashion magazine and read it for a while, then yawned and lay down on the passenger seat and took a nap. Conan, on the other hand, was already lying flat on the back seat and fast asleep.
Yuan Huaiyu focused most of his attention on the door of Mima Village, and could still vaguely hear the sound of father and son playing Othello in the apartment.
He glanced at Hui Yuan Ai out of the corner of his eye, and gently stretched out his hand to tuck a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear.
Just waiting in boredom until midnight, a fat man who looked rather slovenly came to the door of Trojan Horse Village, opened the door and walked in.
"It's coming, it's coming! Listen!"
Yuan Huaiyu woke the two of them up. Conan and Haihara Ai were still a little sleepy, but they soon woke up when they heard the sound of arguing coming from the direction of Mima Village Apartment.
…
In the wooden horse village.
Makabe Gin also opened the door, thinking about the movie just now in his mind while thinking about his thoughts.
The tenants in the Trojan Manor often come back very late or even stay out all night, and the landlord and his son also go to bed early, so he often has the opportunity to secretly carry out his plans somewhere in the courtyard.
Not long ago, he made a windfall by betting on an accident, with a total value of about 200 million yen. But because he didn't want to pay taxes, he withdrew money from the bank for every one million he saved and put it into two stainless steel
Buried in a box in the yard.
But just as he was thinking about it and walking back to the door of his room, the scene in front of him almost made his heart stop.
I saw that the lights in the corridor were not turned off, and the landlord's uncle was standing at the door of his room, holding the stainless steel box that he had secretly buried in the yard, looking at him seriously.
Immediately afterwards, the landlord who saw him stepped forward and asked him sternly: "Where did the money come from?!"
Makabe groaned and was speechless. He wanted to defend, but didn't know what to say. In his opinion, this landlord was a very upright person. If he told him the origin of the money, his idea of tax evasion would definitely be ruined.
.
Seeing him hesitating, the landlord became anxious. Such a large amount of money of unknown origin was buried in the yard of his apartment, and he was extremely panicked. He knew with his toes that he would bury it secretly in the yard in the middle of the night.
Here, this money must be black money.
Sweat beaded on Makabe Ginya's fat face and his disheveled hair was wet. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. His mind went blank. Looking at the aggressive landlord who vowed to ask questions, a string seemed to be broken in his mind.
In desperation, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and pushed towards the landlord who was blocking him.
Under this push, the landlord immediately lost his balance and fell backwards.
The middle-aged man's eyes also changed from sharp to frightened - he was too familiar with the structure of this apartment, and in an instant, he realized that there was an empty staircase behind him.
If I just fell down the stairs...
But the next second, he felt a hand gently supporting his back. With the support of this force, he reluctantly adjusted his posture and grabbed the railing beside him.
Frightened, he looked back and saw a handsome young man whom he didn't recognize at all. It was he who had stretched out the hand just now.
Behind this man, there were two elementary school students who looked not in good spirits.
"Who are you……"
Seeing a stranger entering the apartment, the landlord was stunned for a moment.
Yuan Huaiyu looked behind him with a smile: "Although it is not polite to enter the apartment on your own initiative, but judging from the current situation, it seems that you need help, Mr. Sugiura."
"Uh...right!" The landlord quickly came to his senses and looked at Ginya Makabe, the tenant in his apartment, fiercely, "You guy, you actually hurt me...where did this money come from?! Tell me!"
"I see, is this guy the guy that classmate Kairen said is sneaking around and acting suspiciously every night?"
Yuan Huaiyu nodded.
"Eh? Sir, do you know Kai?" The landlord looked over in surprise.
Yuan Huaiyu responded with a positive nod: "Of course. I am Kairen's teacher, Yuan Huaiyu from Didan Primary School."
"Oh! Mr. Minamoto! I heard Inuko talking about you! He said you were a perfect teacher." Mr. Sugiura's eyes widened immediately.
"Because Sugiura-san said there were suspicious tenants after school today, these children and I were a little worried, so we planned to come over tonight to see what was going on just in case..."
Yuan Huaiyu looked at Makabe Yinya who was sweating profusely and shivering.
"Looking at it now, it's a good thing we came here tonight, otherwise if we were not lucky just now, our lives might be in danger."
Conan spoke: "I wonder if this brother has buried the money he earned from betting? Because classmate Kairen said that he seems to be digging something in the courtyard every night..."
Haiyuan Ai looked at the fat man's face that suddenly turned pale, and yawned: "It seems that you guessed it right... You must be trying to evade taxes, right?"
"If we hadn't come, would you have buried the money and burned the place down?"
Yuanhuaiyu stared at Makabe Ginya sharply.
If he remembered correctly, if he had not arrived in time tonight, the man in front of him would have used a fire to reduce the wooden horse village that had been in operation for many years to a pile of ruins and ashes.
Although the lives of Sugiura Kaito and his son were not in danger, this abominable behavior made Yuan Huaiyu feel sick to his stomach.
I kind of want to punch this guy.
"Okay, okay, now that the matter has been exposed, Mr. Ginya Makabe, are you going to surrender yourself, or are you going to let us take you to the Metropolitan Police Department?"
In such an overwhelming situation, Makabe Gin could no longer stand firm. He took two steps back and sat down against the wall, trembling all over and giving up resistance.
