322 The Desperate Client

Seeing that everyone had finished saying hello, the housekeeper said: "Please follow me to the third floor. The master is waiting there."

Hanyu Kiyosu and others stopped chatting and followed behind to meet the real owner this time - President Nagato.

President Nagato was not in good health and was bedridden. When Hanyu Kiyosu and others entered his bedroom, he reluctantly got up to say hello.

"President Hanyu, I heard that your shrine held an opening ceremony. I was unable to attend due to physical reasons. It is really a pity. This time I finally got what I wanted and was able to meet with you...cough...cough...

…”

President Nagato coughed and wheezed as he spoke. Then he smiled sincerely and said, "I'm sorry, my body is really weak, and I made you laugh."

Seeing what he said, Hanyu Kiyosu probably understood that President Nagato only heard about the rain that could cure diseases during the ceremony after he opened the shrine, so he invited him here in such a roundabout way, right?

However, Chairman Nagato seemed quite amiable, and his speaking and acting style was somewhat similar to Suzuki Shiro's. He also had a chubby figure, which made Hanyu Kiyoshi more approachable.

"Uncle Nagato, long time no see. I am Suzuki Sonoko. I wonder if you still remember me." Suzuki Sonoko greeted him in a rare and shy way.

Chairman Nagato narrowed his eyes with a smile and joked: "Of course I remember, the little girl from the Suzuki family broke several of my cherished vases, which made me feel distressed for several days."

Suzuki Sonoko stuck out her tongue and scratched her head in embarrassment, "You still remember it so clearly... Hahaha..."

"Hehehe...cough...cough cough, ugh...that naughty and stubborn little girl back then has grown up so big now, but also, I am too old to move. Time is not forgiving."

President Nagato sighed with a smile, but there was a hint of sadness on his face that could not be wiped away.

Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko pulled Hanyu Qing'an and said, "Qing'an, help Uncle Nagato restore his vitality first. It's too hard for him to do this."

Hanyu Qing'an nodded. His wife broke someone's vase when she was a child. She did owe someone something, so it was reasonable to help. It was still daytime and the rain girl couldn't come out. What she could do was to give her a blessing.

However, just when he was about to take action, President Nagato quickly waved his hand to stop him.

"No, I'm already old, so I won't bother you. Of course, thank you for your consideration."

Suzuki Sonoko frowned, "What are you talking about? If I remember correctly, you are at most sixty years old this year, not much older than my father. How come you are old?"

President Nagato just smiled and did not reply, but turned to Hanyu Qingyasu and said: "This child Sonoko is really very good. In a big family, there are not many good children like her. President Hanyu

You have to treat her well."

Just as Suzuki Sonoko was about to say something, President Nagato interrupted: "Don't worry about me, and don't think this kind of thing is sad. Life, old age, illness and death will have their own destiny."

"I have heard about President Hanyu's ability, but it doesn't really make people immortal, right? So, sooner or later, there will be a day. As long as you keep an eye on it, it doesn't make any difference whether it's sooner or later."

Hanyu Kiyosu was a little confused as to what the Nagato president meant, so the other party didn’t actually have any intention of inviting him to visit through Moori Kogoro?

Is this person really open-minded?

It’s really rare…

Generally speaking, the richer and more powerful a person is, the more they enjoy, the less they live enough, and there is no way they can resist the temptation of the blessing spell and the Tears of Heaven.

This one is truly an anomaly.

"Ahem, so, President Nagato, you invited me here because you want to entrust me to investigate something?" Mouri Kogoro saw that they were almost done talking, cleared his throat and interrupted.

Gu Qiao

Chairman Nagato narrowed his eyes and immediately opened his eyes. He smiled and told about this commission. It turned out that he wanted to find his first girlfriend. Then Hattori Heiji recommended Mouri Kogoro in order to find Conan together.

"She and I met in elementary school. To be honest, I can't even remember what she looks like now. But recently, I don't know why. Maybe she is approaching death, so some things deep in my memory are...

It all came out."

"Hahahaha, but if my deceased wife heard this, she would probably grit her teeth."

Suzuki Sonoko always felt that Uncle Nagato was not in the right mood, so she comforted him: "No way, I remember that Aunt Nagato was very gentle, very patient with me, and spoke very kindly."

President Nagato smiled, "Then you have never seen her lose her temper. It's very scary... Haha..."

"So, do you have a photo of the lady you first fell in love with?" Mouri Kogoro asked quickly, otherwise the topic would get distorted again.

President Nagato shook his head and said very simply, "No, I only know her name and a little other information. Please, Miss Hinata."

Secretary Hinata, who was standing aside with dignity, responded, then picked up the information and introduced:

"This lady's name is Akagi Kotomi. She was born in Kanagawa City. After graduating from high school, she didn't get married until she was 29 years old. She and her husband Yukihei Yamato had a child. However, five years after giving birth to the child, all three of them disappeared.

Gone."

Mouri Kogoro immediately cried in despair, how to find this? And it is a commission to find someone... This is not in line with his status as a famous detective! Isn't it enough to just find a third-rate detective on the street?

Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly pushed the door in without knocking, and moved very roughly. Two women came in one behind the other.

"Oh? There are so many guests at home? Oh, it's not just the guests, there is also a certain vixen." The older woman with a sullen look said in an unkind tone.

President Nagato smiled bitterly and advised: "Nobuko, you don't have to be like this to Hinata..."

"Dad!" Nagato Nobuko's face became more aggressive, and her words became more harsh, "You have been sleeping here recently, right? What is the intention of this vixen..."

"Sister..." The younger woman following her tried to persuade her.

President Nagato looked helpless, "I just need her help in conveying company affairs..."

"Wouldn't fax be enough for that kind of thing?"

President Nagato shook his head, "It's not that simple..."

"Who are these people?" Nagato Nobuko raised his eyes and cast his gaze on Moori Kogoro, Hanyu Kiyosu and others.

Hanyu Kiyosu observed President Nagato's expression, and seemed to understand why the other party was too lazy to treat his illness. It was because the family was restless and frustrated.

But that’s not the case, it’s just that one daughter is unworthy, but the other daughter looks okay.

"Ahem, I am Mouri Kogoro, a detective." Moori Kogoro said solemnly and seriously.

"detective?"

"What's the detective doing here?"

The two daughters of the Nagato family were very surprised. Secretary Hinata on the side heard this and explained with dedication: "The president invited Mr. Mori to come here to find his first love girlfriend...ah..."

Before she could finish her words, Nagato Nobuko slapped her...
