Chapter 575 Xiaolan's Dowry

When Fei Yingli heard this, she was a little surprised and said: "Mr. Fujieda, it turns out that you still know Yusaku?"

"To be honest, I am actually also a mystery novel writer, but the mystery novels I write have a mediocre response and are not as popular as those of best-selling novelists like Yusaku."

Fujieda Shigeru smiled sheepishly: "I met Yusaku at a gathering of mystery novelists a few years ago.

A few days ago, I was chatting with Yusaku on the Internet and mentioned this threatening incident, so I asked him to come over and help.

However, since my sister has passed away, I can only be regarded as a tenant.

Therefore, unlike my second wife, Mrs. Sohwa, who spent 10 million yen to hire a Maori detective to protect her husband’s life, I can only ask Yusaku to help me on a voluntary basis.”

"Ten million yen?!"

Hearing Fujieda Shigeru's words, Yukiko couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

Although ten million yen is not a large amount for Yukiko, it is just the commission fee for one piece.

Do all detectives make so much money nowadays?

Yukiko came close to Fei Eri and said in a joking tone: "Eri, Kogoro's career is developing well now!"

"Haha~"

Facing Yukiko's joking gaze, Fei Yingli showed an unspeakable wry smile.

(ω)

Mao Lilan also lowered her head in shame. She didn't want Shinichi's mother to know about the stupid things her father had done.

"What happened?"

Noticing the strange expressions on Fei Yingli and Mao Lilan, Yukiko couldn't help but ask: "Why do you suddenly show such expressions?"

"Sister Yukiko, actually the thing is like this..."

Suzuki Seimei glanced at Fujieda Shigeru and the others, leaned into Yukiko's ear, and briefly told her in a low voice the story of Mouri Kogoro's prodigal fortune.

"No way!"

After listening to Suzuki Seimei's narration, Yukiko's mouth opened slightly, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Looking at Fei Eri who was dumbfounded, Yukiko suddenly understood why she separated from Mouri Kogoro?

If Kudo Yusaku was like Mouri Kogoro and lost all the royalties he earned, then Yukiko would definitely separate from her.

Wait a moment!

Is that guy Kogoro losing all of Conan's alimony?

When Yukiko pretended to be Conan's mother and sent Conan back to the Mori Detective Agency, she specially gave him 10 million yen in alimony.

It was precisely because of the 10 million yen alimony that Kogoro Mouri was able to tolerate Conan, a dragster, living in his own home.

But judging from what Suzuki Seimei just said, Mouri Kogoro owed more than 8 million yuan in foreign debt in just two days.

Therefore, Yukiko had to suspect that Kogoro Mouri had already lost all of Conan's alimony, otherwise how could he owe so much foreign debt?

Yukiko glanced at Mao Lilan who was full of shame, and then at Conan who was following her, and secretly sighed in her heart: "Forget it, just treat it as a betrothal gift to Xiaolan in advance!"

Yukiko hugged Suzuki Seimei, looked around, and calmly changed the subject: "By the way, why didn't you see Mr. Fujieda Mikio? He should be the victim of this intimidation incident, right? Can you let me

Do you want to meet him first?"

Hearing this, Ueki Sohachi replied apologetically: "I'm afraid this won't work, because the master is in the audio-visual room, listening to classical music and reading books, so I can't see the master until dinner."

"Mikio hates being disturbed when he is reading."

Fujieda Soka nodded affirmatively, and said thoughtfully: "Last time I gave him a bowl of bird's nest, but he scolded me!"

"Really? Then there is no other way."

As soon as Yukiko finished speaking, Shigeru Fujieda suddenly said: "Actually, there is nothing we can do. Since the intimidation incident, several surveillance cameras have been installed in the house, and there is also a surveillance camera in the audio-visual room. We can see there from the surveillance room.

video.”

"Really? That's really great."

Under the leadership of Fujieda Shigeru, everyone quickly arrived at the monitoring room and saw the situation in the audio-visual room through the monitoring video.

“Judging from the surveillance video here, it’s really clear!”

After entering the monitoring room, Yukiko's eyes were instantly attracted to the central monitoring screen.

From the central surveillance video, you can clearly see Mikio Fujieda sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee and reading the books in his hand.

"Huh? Who is this person?"

Seeing Mikio Fujieda still drinking coffee leisurely, Yukiko's eyes quickly shifted to other surveillance videos, and she suddenly shouted in surprise: "Look! There is a man wearing a hat in the yard."

Looking in the direction of Yukiko's finger, Ueki Sohachi explained: "He is the gardener of the family, and his name is Doi Kozo."

Yukiko wondered: "But it's already so late, and he's still mowing the flower beds in the yard. Wouldn't it look too weird?"

Fujieda Shigeru sighed and said: "I think he wants to confirm again, because tomorrow is the birthday of my dead sister."

In fact, Fujieda Shigeru also regretted it deeply. If he had not insisted on becoming a writer and was unwilling to inherit the family property, his sister would not have recruited Fujieda Mikio, a white-eyed wolf, into her wife.

When Fujieda Shigeru's sister was still alive, Fujieda Mikio took great care of his brother-in-law, allowing him to live a worry-free life and create, so he also liked his brother-in-law.

However, after Fujieda Shigeru's sister passed away, Fujieda Mikio revealed his true nature. Although Fujieda Shigeru was allowed to continue living at home, he forced him to pay the rent on time every month.

What made Fujieda Shigeru disgusted the most was that only half a year after his sister passed away, Fujieda Mikio married a woman who could be his daughter.

"Master's hand!"

Just when everyone's attention was attracted to the gardener in the surveillance video, Sohachi Ueki suddenly shouted: "Why did you raise your hand?"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Fei Yingli and the others quickly turned their attention to the surveillance video in the audio-visual room.

Mikio Fujieda, who was supposed to be sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up with his hands raised, as if someone was pointing a gun at him, forcing him to raise his hands in surrender!

Fei Yingli subconsciously shouted: "Oops! There are other people in that room, and they used a gun to threaten Mr. Mikio!"

"No...impossible! When I went to deliver coffee just now, there was no one else in the room except the master."

Ueki Sohachi said with a look of disbelief: "And when I left, I locked the door. Outsiders couldn't get in without the key."
