"Detective Maori, long time no see." Yuan Huaiyu bowed.
"Mr. Yuan? Why are you here? And you are dressed like this..." Xiaolan asked doubtfully.
Yuan Huaiyu walked in, casually pinned his sunglasses on his clothes, and said, "Actually, I'm here to exchange information."
"Exchanging information?" Kogoro asked Yuan Huaiyu with a frown while gesturing for him to sit down on the sofa, "Could it be that Mr. Yuan, you..."
"Yes, just as Mr. Maori thought, I am also pursuing this case."
Yuan Huaiyu took out a photo from his breast pocket: "This is my employer. He hired me to help him find someone."
"Huh? I remember Mr. Yuan is not a teacher?" Xiao Lan was puzzled.
Yuan Huaiyu touched his nose: "During the school holidays, I feel that I am still too idle. I am a restless person, so I occasionally accept some detective-type commissions."
He looked at Kogoro Mori with a smile: "Mr. Mori, you won't blame me for stealing business, right?"
After hearing his explanation, Maori and his daughter both nodded in understanding.
In the world of Ke Xue, the time when school enters the holidays is indeed much longer than the time in class. Otherwise, the Shinigami elementary school students would not be able to go camping with the juvenile detective team all day long, or follow Kogoro Mori, and mix in various places that he induces.
crime scene.
It is reasonable for Teacher Yuan to do some side work that he likes during his spare time.
Conan had always been concerned about what Yuan Huaiyu meant by "exchanging information". He lay face down on the armrest of the sofa and looked at the photo that Yuan Huaiyu took out, and his eyes suddenly widened.
Isn't this the tall, sinister-looking man he bumped into in the pachinko pachinko parlor?!
After Yuan Huaiyu exchanged greetings with Maori Kogoro, he pointed at the photo and said: "My employer, Hirota Akira. I suspect that you and I, Detective Maori, have accepted the same commission."
He then added: "He entrusted me to find Hirota Kenzo, saying that he was his brother who he had lost contact with since coming to Tokyo from Kyushu to work, and was his only relative."
"It's just that when I found where Hirota Kenzo was staying, I happened to find that you, Detective Mori, had brought a girl to meet Hirota Kenzo."
"From your conversation, I discovered that we may have received a commission with the same content, which is to find Hirota Kenzo."
"When I informed my employer Hirota Akira later, he also said that he had found his brother and refused to pay me for this reason..."
"But when I thought about it afterwards, there were some things that were very strange, so I wanted to talk to Detective Maori about it."
Mouri Kogoro had been staring at the photo in deep thought. He suddenly raised his head when he heard this sentence: "What's so strange?"
"First of all, it's the reason Hirota Akira said to find someone, which seems to conflict with what the girl said." He looked at Xiaolan for confirmation.
Xiaolan immediately said: "Yes, Miss Masami said her father is from Yamagata Prefecture!"
Yuan Huaiyu crossed his fingers and propped his elbows on the coffee table: "The second thing is what I heard from the taxi company where Mr. Hirota Kenzo worked before."
"It is said that Mr. Hirota refuses to carry passengers every evening and drives around on the same route at a very high speed."
"That's to eliminate mental stress." Mouri Kogoro said unconcernedly, "When people reach middle age, they will be like this..."
"By the way, who is this Mr. Hirota Akira?" Kogoro asked.
"He is 28 years old, a tall man over 190 centimeters tall..." Yuan Huaiyu said.
"Tall man?!" Mouri Kogoro said, "Judging from the marks on the neck of the deceased, the murderer is a tall man..."
"Yes." Yuanhuaiyu nodded, "Later, when I heard that Mr. Hirota Kenzo was killed, I felt that something was fishy, and that's when I found the Maori Detective Agency."
While the two were discussing the case, Conan quietly took the photo away from the table and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
He soon determined that this man was the one he bumped into before.
However, if Miss Masami's watch equipped with a transmitter appears on this person...
That means Miss Yamei has probably been killed!
[Wait, it’s too early to draw conclusions now.]
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he crept out the door.
[Anyway, let’s find the tall man first! 】
He rushed straight to Dr. Ali's house to find Dr. Ali to charge his tracking glasses first.
In the Maori Detective Agency, Yuan Huaiyu, who had been watching Conan out of the corner of his eye, had a knowing smile on his face.
…
"Doctor! Are you still okay?"
"Don't be so hasty. Haste makes waste." Dr. Ali plugged in the charging connector for the glasses. "No matter how urgent you are, if you don't act calmly, you won't be able to become an excellent detective."
Dr. Ali looked back at Shinichi, who he had raised since childhood and was like his own son, and gently persuaded him.
"Your body will shrink now, isn't it because you underestimated the enemy too much?"
"What you said is true, but..."
"This is a murder case... If you underestimate the enemy too much, you may encounter something unexpected! So you must tell Kogoro and let him take you to find the prisoner!"
Dr. A Li's face was more serious than ever.
"But even if I take uncle with me..." Conan thought of the unreliable detective uncle and hesitated.
"Calm, collected, and cautious. Isn't your favorite Sherlock Holmes always like this?"
Dr. Ali handed the charged glasses to Conan's hand and said.
"I know..." Seeing that Dr. A Li brought out his favorite Sherlock Holmes, Conan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
…
"How about it? I'm better than you, but it's because you provided so much information."
Hirota Akira held a can of beer and looked at the woman who came to the door drunkenly.
"This is different from what was promised in advance." Miyano Akemi said coldly.
Hirota Akira immediately raised his eyebrows and threatened: "So what! The money is in my hands now, of course I have the final say! Could it be that... you also want to follow in the footsteps of that old guy Hirota Kenzo?"
He was trying to find a reason to kill Masami Hirota as well.
Anyway, killing one is killing, killing two is killing. If Hirota Masami dies, he will not only get more money, but also let this robbery case rot in his heart forever.
If both of his accomplices were buried, all he had to do was change his identity and take the money and find a place to hide it, and those incompetent police would never be able to find him again!
