Mouri Kogoro declined the offer, but he still took the business card. Now there was a place to publish "Moori Detective Case Book".
I didn't expect that the current industry is so inefficient. I have advertised on TV. So far, no large publishing houses have come to my door. They are all speculative and unknown small magazines.
This trip was not in vain. It was a well-known literary and artistic era in the industry. Kogoro Mouri was very happy. Even if he didn't read much, he knew about this publishing house.
Literary Times started out as a magazine of the same name. The famous Detective Zuo Wenji series was serialized in Literary Times. He had often watched the TV series adapted from it.
Conan originally thought that Uncle Maori was eating hazelnuts or drinking alcohol in a corner, but he didn't expect that he was recommending Xiaolan's book everywhere, which was really surprising.
But if Xiaolan knew about it, she would probably feel very ashamed.
Conan's ears were very sensitive and he heard some faint whispers coming from behind him.
"Moori Kogoro? I think I've heard of him. He's a very popular detective recently, right? You seemed very enthusiastic just now, more enthusiastic than usual?"
"Hmm, although he is just...a detective, he seems to have a good relationship with Master Hanyu, and his daughter is also good friends with the daughter of President Suzuki's family."
"I see."
…
The chat between Hanyu Kiyosu and Suzuki Tomoko came to an end for the time being, and Suzuki Sonoko finally came to life and no longer needed to be "executed" any more.
However, the trouble had just begun tonight. Just as Hanyu Kiyosu was about to go have something to eat, Director Hakuba found an opening and came over.
"I know, the things are ready, I will ask Amuro to deliver them to you later." Hanyu Qingan said straight to the point.
Director Hakuba said with a smile on his face: "This is really good news, but I came here to see Master Hanyu for other matters."
"social contact?"
"No, no, it's a commission."
"oh?"
Ten minutes later, Director Hakuba wisely left, leaving Hanyu Kiyosu looking at Toru Amuro with a strange expression on his face. The latter had a rare expression of sarcasm.
"I just said that Kenzo Masayama's death was a bit too coincidental, and here comes another... no, two commissions with the same coincidence. It can't be that they both died recently, or plan to die, right?" Hanyu said.
Qing'an couldn't think of a reasonable explanation and could only think that it was due to human factors.
Toru Amuro was also speechless. He didn't know about this beforehand. After all, it was not part of his job that a big shot was going to die.
"There are quite a lot of big shots in Tokyo... maybe it's just a coincidence..."
Tohru Amuro said that he had no confidence. Hanyu Qing'an waved his hand and said, "Whatever, just pretend that you don't know and don't go into it. Just take care of business."
Toru Amuro secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the president was not a person who wanted to get to the bottom of things, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
But... I swallowed my tongue...
How could this congressman die suddenly? Toru Amuro frowned, feeling that there might be an organization involved...
…
"Dad! Sister!" Suzuki Sonoko looked at the two people who had just got off the helicopter with an indignant look, with a somewhat aggrieved tone.
"Uh...we didn't expect this either."
Suzuki Shiro looked at his second daughter's appearance and comforted him with a guilty conscience. When Sonoko came to him to ask for help two days ago, he agreed happily. He didn't expect that such an accident would happen, causing him to miss the party time.
Suzuki Ayako carefully observed her sister's expression and asked with a smile: "Hanyu-kun and mother must have had a pleasant chat, right?"
"How did you know?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at her sister suspiciously, suspecting that she had known something for a long time.
"Of course I can see it from your face~" Suzuki Ayako said matter-of-factly.
"..." Suzuki Sonoko touched her face, how could she tell? By the way, Hanyu-kun seems to have said that he likes girls who have everything written on their faces.
Could it be that... everything I think in my heart is written on my face? Is it that obvious?
"Dad, did you and my mother investigate Hanyu-kun beforehand?" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly remembered this matter.
Suzuki Shiro wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Well...it's not really an investigation, it's just a little understanding. After all, so many people come to me to talk about his affairs, and I'm also very curious."
Sure enough... Suzuki Sonoko sighed, and she was stupidly caught in the middle and worried...
"So? Why did mom suddenly change her attitude? No, it should be said that she was so enthusiastic." Suzuki Sonoko asked doubtfully.
Suzuki Shiro did not answer directly, "Isn't this your choice Sonoko? Your mother and I just respect your wishes. Anyway, we also know that Hanyu-kun is not a bad person, as long as you are happy."
How guilty are these words? Not only Suzuki Ayako can see it, but even Suzuki Sonoko can also find the clues.
"Ahem..." Suzuki Shiro cleared his throat covertly, and then said, "Where are your mother and Hanyu-kun? It's time for me to go see them."
Suzuki Sonoko curled her lips, "They are greeting the guests at the venue."
"Ah, that's it. Then I'll go take a look too." Suzuki Shiro walked away.
After he found the two of them, Suzuki Tomoko whispered in his ear: "You expected it right. Hanyu-kun sent exactly that, and there was quite a lot of it."
Suzuki Shiro's eyes lit up, and his joy was beyond words. He pulled Hanyu Qing'an and said enthusiastically: "From now on, I will ask you to take care of the garden."
"Okay, please don't worry." Hanyu Qing'an was not polite at all.
After chatting casually for a few words, Suzuki Shiro and the guests present exchanged greetings, and then he and Suzuki Tomoko took Hanyu Kiyosu to a small room for a private chat.
"So, you are planning to buy a piece of land to build your own shrine?" Suzuki Shiro asked.
Hanyu Qing'an nodded, "That's right, Sonoko just mentioned that the Suzuki family has a suitable place, so I wanted to ask if it is convenient for you to transfer it?"
Suzuki Shiro nodded without hesitation, because Hanyu Qingyasu was asking about transfer, so he paid more attention, "Of course it's no problem, but do you have enough liquidity? If necessary, I still have many acquaintances in the bank
, can help negotiate a low-interest, long-term loan.”
Hanyu Qing'an smiled and declined, "Cash is indeed not enough, but I don't think I need a loan. I also have a special payment method."
"Oh?" Suzuki Shiro looked at him expectantly.
Hanyu Qing'an borrowed a portable password box, and then demonstrated on the spot what it means to print money with empty hands. In the box that can store one thousand ten thousand yuan banknotes, there are now one thousand blue charms neatly placed.
"This is a new business. The price of a charm is five million yen. I think it shouldn't be difficult to sell out."
