"It's okay if I don't have one," Chi Feichi flipped through the numbers on his phone, "Actually, there are two commissions..."
Mouri Kogoro's eyes suddenly widened.
Did his apprentice really send another commission, or were there two of them?
This is murder, this is trying to tire him to death from overwork!
Conan also looked at Chi Feichi dumbfounded.
The uncle said it nicely, but the previous investigation was busy for three days, with constant tracking and surveillance. The investigation only ended yesterday afternoon, so a commission came so quickly...
The smile on Mao Lilan's face froze, and she looked at Chi Feichi who hesitated to speak.
Although she wanted Mouri Kogoro to work hard and stop going out to play cards, bet on horses, drink, and play small steel balls, isn't it a little bad to be so tired?
The corners of Haiyuan Ai's mouth twitched slightly.
It seems that Brother Fei Chi not only likes to be busy with work, but also likes to get others to talk about work. He also likes to get others to be as busy with work as him...
Yesterday I dragged Suzuki Sonoko to work in the company, and today I sent two commissions to Uncle Mori, which is simply terrifying!
"Snapped!"
Mouri Kogoro came back to his senses and immediately reached out to hold Chi Feichi's hand holding the phone. He also closed the flip phone in Chi Feichi's hand and said seriously, "Feichi, I always believe that people can't
Just work, but also learn to relax and enjoy life. Although I really want to help people in need, I just finished a commission and I need to relax and let my brain have a good rest so that I can better solve the next problem.
The commission comes down!”
Chi Feichi looked directly at Mouri Kogoro and corrected seriously, "It's not just over. I remember that the teacher's commission was completed yesterday afternoon."
As a man who has to support his family, his daughter is in high school, there is a boarding school student at home, and he likes betting on horses and drinking, how can his teacher be satisfied with just making ends meet?
Go to work, teacher.
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Yes, that's right, the commission was completed yesterday afternoon, but it has been less than twenty hours since yesterday afternoon. Why do you show this "you haven't had enough rest" look... He suspected that his eldest apprentice was concerned about it.
The concept of 'getting a good rest' may be different from his, and it's also different from everyone else's!
Mao Lilan also sweated, "Brother Chi, in fact, dad has been working very hard on the investigation these two days..."
"That's right!" Mouri Kogoro nodded repeatedly. The person who said "very easy" just now was definitely not him.
"And there are two requests coming at once, and dad can't handle them," Mao Lilan laughed dryly, "If it's a request like finding a cat or a dog, I'm sorry, but if you can refuse, just refuse..."
"I won't agree to trouble Teacher Maori with that kind of commission." Chi Feichi said.
Mao Lilan: "..."
That's not what she meant. If it were a more difficult task to complete, she would be even more tempted to turn it down...
She felt so sorry for her father who was no longer young.
"Let me tell you about the situation..." Chi Feichi sat on the sofa, "Teacher, you sit down first."
Maori Kogoro:"……"
No, he doesn't want to sit.
Also, please turn back time.
When his eldest apprentice came in and asked if he was there, could Xiaolan please answer that he was not there...
"I know it's very hard for you, teacher, and I originally planned to wait for you to rest for two days before mentioning it to you," Chi Feichi said calmly, "but there is one commission that is very urgent. That is the client I met at the banquet the night before yesterday. At that time
I told her that the teacher had a commission on hand, and she planned to wait, but she called me early this morning to tell me that she originally wanted to ask the teacher to investigate the direction of a problematic fund on the crew, but this morning, she received a message from the Phantom Thief
Kidd’s notice letter…”
"Strange, Kaitou Kidd?!" Mao Lilan was surprised.
Conan's expression suddenly became serious.
"Could it be some kind of prank?" Mouri Kogoro reluctantly sat on the sofa and tried to push the matter away. "Someone pretended to be Kaitou Kidd and sent a notice letter to scare her. That's entirely possible! That's the case.
There is no need for me, a famous detective, to step in!"
"It's unlikely, because she said she has something in her hand that Kaitou Kidd wants," Chi Feichi said, "a valuable gem."
"Uncle, just help me," Conan reached out and shook Mouri Kogoro's arm in a cute way, encouraging him crazily, "It would be so pitiful if her gems were stolen by that bad thief Kidd!"
"Why are you pitiful? I think she is probably a rich lady, and nothing will happen to her if she loses a gem," Mouri Kogoro said with a lazy look of "I will not accept it" and went crazy, "And this kind of thing
, shouldn’t she call the police?”
"Miss Mu Shuli has called the police, but she doesn't want it to affect the performance, so she hopes the teacher can help. As for her identity..." Chi Feichi paused and enlarged his move, "Not a rich lady, but a beautiful one.
Female opera singer.”
beautiful?
Mouri Kogoro caught the key word and immediately sat up straight, "Well, since you are so insistent, then I will meet the client. This is not just a matter of a gem. As a detective, since I know this kind of thing
, I can’t let sin flourish and persecute others!”
Maori Lan glanced at Maori Kogoro with half-moon eyes.
Mainly because the other party is a beautiful woman, but she has nothing to say.
Because her father had evil intentions and just watched other people's valuable gems being stolen, she couldn't do it.
Mouri Kogoro added, "As for the other commission..."
"It's Toshiya's commission, about their family and Hui," Chi Feichi looked at Mouri Kogoro with a calm look. "He said that if it's inconvenient for me to speak, he asked his father to come forward and ask the teacher for help."
Mouri Kogoro was stunned, "Business, minister..."
Since he became a detective, he has been indispensable for the care of his old colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department. These were the bosses of his former bosses, so he had to give him this face.
"There's no rush over there. Teacher can work on Miss Mu Shuli's commission first," Chi Feichi said. "After two days of rest, you can accept Min Ye's commission."
Haiyuan Ai put her arm around Sawada Hiroki's shoulders and hugged him tightly.
Very good, Uncle Maori's work schedule has been arranged for the next few days.
"Okay, okay," Mouri Kogoro felt bitter, but he still pretended to be cheerful, "Since it is a matter of the minister's family, and it also concerns his children, I can't just sit back and do nothing!"
…
An hour later, Maki Shuri arrived at the Maori Detective Agency.
Although Maki Shuri is already in her thirties, she is still well-maintained. Her face looks no different from that of a girl in her twenties. Her short red hair is specially styled, and she wears delicate and refreshing daily makeup.
.
On this trip, Makiri did not bring her makeup artist Natsuki Sakai, but her manager Masayo Yaguchi.
Masayo Yaguchi is also a beautiful woman, wearing a gray professional skirt and thin-rimmed glasses. She is tall but thin, and her delicate face is pale, giving people the impression of being introverted and weak.
Seeing two beauties at once, Mouri Kogoro energetically greeted the two of them to come in, "Please come in and sit down!"
Chi Feichi made room on the sofa for the guests and carried Hiroki Sawada to the desk.
Hiroki Sawada huddled in Chi Feichi's arms, with his hands crossed, still sharing his experience of going fishing the day before yesterday, "When Brother Conan went, he said it's okay if you don't go, because you won't be able to catch a single fish anyway."
…”
Chi Feichi glanced at Conan, who was following behind to make the move.
Haiyuan Ai looked at Conan with some schadenfreude. Do you dare to criticize people behind their backs? Is it embarrassing now?
Conan: "..."
So what... He was just telling the truth!
"As a result, no one caught any fish, and there was a murder incident. A fishing player was killed..."
"How many of you haven't caught a single fish?"
"Well, everyone from the Junior Detective Team participated in the fishing competition," Hiroki Sawada said, "Auntie Xiao Ai also participated, but she didn't catch a single fish."
Hui Yuan Ai suddenly felt resentful. When Chi Feichi sat down on the office chair with Zetian Hiroki in his arms, he patiently corrected him, "Xiao Shu, I've already told you, don't call me aunt."
"But..." Sawada Hiroki felt even more resentful. Ban Yue looked at Haihara Ai and said, "My name is Auntie."
Haibara Ai thought it was the one-year-old child who had a misunderstanding, and had a headache, "No, Xiaoshu, you call Edogawa and the others 'brother and sister', you should call me the same way."
Conan suppressed a smile and said, "Well, maybe you usually speak more maturely, and he thinks you are like an adult."
"Please keep your voice down, don't disturb my work. If Xiaoshu feels sleepy, take him to the third floor to rest," Mouri Kogoro warned, and asked Makuri and Yaguchi Masayo to sit down, and asked with a smile, "You two
, how about a cup of coffee?”
"Of course, thank you." Maki Shuli had a decent smile on his face.
Mouri Kogoro turned to Mouri Ran who was standing behind the sofa and said, "Xiao Ran, help me make two cups of coffee!"
"Yes~" Mao Lilan responded with a smile, turned around and went to the hot water room to boil water.
"Miss Juri," Mouri Kogoro said more seriously as he got down to business, "I heard Fei Chi say that you received a notice letter from Kaito Kidd, is that true?"
"Yes," Maki Shuri took out an envelope from her handbag and handed it to Mouri Kogoro, "This is the letter that was placed on the balcony of my apartment along with a large bouquet of roses this morning..."
Conan: "..."
Rose? That guy Kaitou Kidd is still so pretentious.
Mouri Kogoro took the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and looked down at it.
"In the midst of 26 letters flying around, I will come to take away the 'Gem of Destiny'... Kaitou Kidd."
"Hmm... I also drew a playing card torn in half. The playing card torn into a 'V' shape represents victory..."
Chi Feichi sat behind Maori Kogoro's desk and turned to look at the window of the Maori Detective Agency.
Outside the window, a white pigeon was parked on the second-floor balcony across the street.
Nothing unusual about the white pigeon can be seen from inside, but there should be cameras and bugs tied to the white pigeon's feet.
Animal spies have been around since ancient times.
So, this time it’s the plot of the theatrical version of “The Magician of Silver Wings”.
He remembered that there was no explosion this time, but there were murders and plane crashes. Kuroba Kaito's warning letter mentioned the plane's seat and flight number, indicating that he would take action on the plane.
Such an abstract prompt is indeed difficult to understand.
As for the murder, the person who died was... Mu Shuli?
Oh, that doesn't matter.
After Chi Feichi looked away, a crow flew to stand next to the white pigeon and screamed, "Isn't this the little one from the Kaito family? Are you here to work?"
"Yes, come and take a look for the master," the white pigeon cooed, "You too?"
Crow looked at the Maori Detective Agency opposite, "I'm on daily inspection."
"My master said we must not be discovered." The white pigeon moved to the side and kept cooing. "Let's stay away. You are black and I am white. Standing together is too conspicuous."
"
In a nearby alley, Kuroba Kaito was wearing a baseball cap and earphones in his ears, looking down at the crows flying away on the cell phone surveillance screen.
