Chapter 917: Mouri Kogoro: We are both uncles, how come there is such a big gap in life!
In the blink of an eye, Qin Zhibo took the little boy to another detective agency a block away.
"I sincerely recommend to you, Maori Detective Agency."
"The famous detective Mouri Kogoro is personally in charge. Although the commission fee for the business trip will be more expensive, it should not be a problem for a child star like you..."
Qin Zhibo looked at the information above Jingchuan Hehui's head. Although he was only 7 years old, his main occupation was an actor, with a social credit of 6,400, so he should be very rich.
It's just that Qin Zhibo is not short of money now. Finding ways to handle more cases and gain some proficiency is the right way in the world.
For this reason, Qin Zhibo decided to introduce this good deal to his colleague Mouri Kogoro in exchange for Conan, the "God of Death" colleague.
I don't produce death, I'm just the transporter of death.
Kinukawa Kazuki looked up at the office and thought it was okay.
As a child actor, he also consulted his friends in the industry which detective is better.
Okino Yoko first recommended Qin Zhibo, followed by Mouri Kogoro. Both of them are very good.
"But if we compare, Detective Qin may be more powerful, because every time the two of them come together, Detective Qin is the one who cracks the case first."
This is Okino Yoko's evaluation of the two of them. Out of financial constraints, Kinukawa Kazuki directly chose a more powerful detective to solve the problem at once.
Yes, even though he is a child star, Kinukawa Kazuki is really short of money. All his money is stored in the agency, and the agency doesn't know about the fact that he came out to find a detective, so he doesn't have much money on him.
Thinking of this, Kinukawa Kazuki nodded and agreed.
"Then let's go to this one, the price doesn't matter, I have plenty of money anyway..."
…
Under the introduction of Qin Zhibo, Maori Kogoro received this "high-quality customer".
Not only that, because today is a day off, Conan and Mao Lilan are also in the office. It can be said that the buffs are full and the lights are out.
"You can't be that child actor who acted in TV series and movies, Kazuki Kinukawa!"
"That's great! I've met a real person!"
"You are cuter than on TV~"
Mao Lilan came over and knelt down, looking straight at the little boy in front of her with a bright smile on her face.
Being so close to Mao Lilan face to face, Kinukawa Kazuki was stunned for a moment.
Although he often visited the studio and met many female celebrities, he was still very attracted by a natural neighbor like Mao Lilan.
"Alright, okay..."
Kinukawa Kazuki, who was being praised and pulled by her beautiful sister, also showed a somewhat shy expression and her face was slightly red.
Looking at this scene, Conan, as a "peer of the same age", also saw that this kid had a crush on Mao Lilan. He pursed his lips and turned his eyes away.
Why are today's kiddos so precocious? They are not pure at all...
Qin Zhibo walked over and stroked Conan's head, comforting the jealous king.
"Actually, Conan is cuter, especially when he's jealous..."
When Conan heard this, he quickly raised his head in surprise and looked at Qin Zhibo who handed over the assist with a protesting look.
Hello!
When Mao Lilan heard Qin Zhibo's words, she turned her head and looked at Conan in disbelief, "Conan, are you jealous?"
"No, no..." Conan blushed.
However, Mao Lilan ignored this weak rebuttal and commented with a smile: "Actually, Conan is also very cute ~ just like Shinichi when he was a child..."
When Conan heard this, his eyes lit up.
When I was a child, in Mao Lilan's eyes, I was... cute?
Although Conan remembers that when he was a child, he often tried hard to be a great detective like Sherlock Holmes and had nothing to do with being cute, but when he heard Xiaolan speak so highly of himself, he still felt warm in his heart.
"Alright, okay..."
Conan scratched his head, his tone a little twitchy.
Being complimented by the girl he likes, Conan couldn't help but show the same expression and words as Kinukawa Kazuki just now.
Qin Zhibo looked at Conan who was gradually turning into a child, and he couldn't help but lament that playing another person for a long time would indeed change people from the inside out.
Just like Cheng Shi, after cosplaying with a woman on Yueying Island for three years, even though she is now out of that environment, she still behaves like a woman, something that even Belmod can't tell.
If Conan lasts longer, will he still look like a child even if he recovers?
Or will as the body returns to normal size and a large amount of male hormones are secreted, will the man regain his virility?
Let time prove this point.
"Okay, let's talk about the commission first."
At this time, it was Kogoro Mori who took control of the situation and turned the topic to the main purpose of the trip.
Kinukawa Kazuki came over and sat on the sofa, like a little adult, he took out a stack of postcards from his bag and put them on the coffee table.
It's still the same content as when I commissioned Qin Zhibo. Through these postcards, I found the woman named "Wen Zi" who sent the postcards.
Mouri Kogoro, Conan, and Qin Zhibo each picked up several postcards and looked at the contents on them carefully.
The postcards seemed to be landscape postcards produced in a certain place. The sender on them was signed Wen Zi, without Ren or a sending address.
On the back of the postcard were handwritten words of encouragement to Kazuki Kinukawa and his thoughts on the performance. It seemed that it was sent by a fan.
Looking at the postcard in his hand, Qin Zhibo unconsciously remembered that there were some postcards sent to him by unknown people in his office drawer.
Those postcards are all Hawaiian scenery postcards, with photos of Hawaiian scenery in different seasons on the back.
But other than that, there is no text in the postcard.
Qin Zhibo once personally received a pack of Hawaiian postcards like this from the postman. The entire pack of postcards was unopened and new.
At that time, Qin Zhibo observed for a long time, and because he saw the water of the Pacific Ocean, he felt confused about the lake for a while.
At that time, there was no "Fear in a Bottle", and I could not overcome my aversion to sea water, especially the sea water in the Pacific Ocean.
The strange thing is that although the postcards sent all the way from Hawaii are unused, the original owner of the body has carefully read every postcard sent before. The evidence is that there are slight marks on the paper.
According to normal thinking, maybe the original owner of the body used these postcards to relieve his homesickness...
If so, those postcards were probably sent by the body's original owner's family in Hawaii.
Going back to this commission, the postcard contains photos of local scenery, making it much easier to find the mailing address.
"Judging from the photos on the back of these postcards, they should be scenic spots somewhere. As long as we go to the local area and investigate one by one, the answer should be among them."
"It's just that doing this will take a lot of time, and you may have to stay locally for one night..."
Seeing that Qin Zhibo spoke first, Maori Kogoro also asked: "This seems to be a postcard sent by a movie fan. Are you sure you want to find this fan?"
"I see that these postcards are all dirty and stained. You probably don't care for these postcards very much, right?"
Mouri Kogoro also showed off his reasoning ability in a low-key manner, but both Qin Zhibo and Conan were surprised.
These stains will remain because you pay too much attention to them and look at them repeatedly.
As for the dirty ones, they were probably tears or even snot dripping on them.
Kinukawa and Hui crossed their legs, their eyes full of disdain: "I can't help it, because I hate them, so I threw them aside..."
"Because these are not sent by fans at all, they are all postcards written by my mother."
"Your mother?" Mao Lilan asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Kinukawa Hehui drooped his eyelids, "Six years ago, she cruelly threw me like garbage in front of the church. These are the postcards written by that woman."
After hearing this, Mao Lilan, who is very maternal, felt a little pity for the little child star in her eyes.
"Didn't you find this place because you wanted to see your mother?"
Faced with Mao Lilan's question, Kinukawa Kazuki immediately refuted.
"Don't get me wrong! I just want to say to that woman, don't want to recognize me as a mother just because I am famous now."
well said!
In his heart, Qin Zhibo strongly agreed with this little child star's statement. It is a waste of life to be born without raising a child. Leaving a one-year-old baby at the door of the church is more hasty than talking about breaking up on the phone.
It's a pity that a child is a child after all, and now he is at this age when he longs for maternal love.
If I were ten years older, I might not have any illusions about my "mother" anymore.
Regarding Kinukawa Kazuhui's words, Qin Zhibo and Conan could see that he was arrogant.
Mao Lilan, who has always been kind, did not comment on this behavior of drawing a clear line with her biological mother, nor did she give any advice.
Ran Kogoro looked at the postcard and asked, "But it doesn't say she is your mother?"
Kinukawa Kazuki said with certainty, "It's that woman, because the handwriting on it is exactly the same as the note she wrote when she abandoned me, and the signature is exactly the same."
Mouri Kogoro raised his eyebrows and continued his analysis: "But there are postmarks from Hokkaido to Okinawa on it. So it seems that she quite likes traveling?"
Hearing Moori Kogoro's analysis, Kinukawa Kazuki's heart was stung, and his expression immediately changed.
"Forget it, I still won't look for that woman."
As he said that, his two little hands were about to collect the postcards on the table.
Mouri Kogoro stared, not knowing what he said wrongly and offending this little client.
He is an uncle, so of course he doesn't understand the thoughts of a arrogant brat. A mother would rather have money to travel across the country than raise him. It would be completely unnecessary for him to go all the way to find her.
At this moment, Qin Zhibo also expressed his new opinion.
"If she is a mother who has abandoned her child, her financial situation should not be very good, and traveling across the country is impossible."
Qin Zhibo's words restored Kinukawa Kazuhui's small self-esteem, and also saved the side mission he was about to complete.
Conan also nodded in agreement, showed the postcard in his hand, and reasoned: "Look at the scenery photos on these postcards, do they look familiar?"
"Look at the palm at the bottom of the photo."
The several postcards in Conan's hand all showed the same blue sky, but a bronze palm suddenly appeared at the bottom of the middle.
Mao Lilan came over to take a look, thought for two seconds, and said in surprise: "I know~ It's that place!"
With that said, Mao Lilan walked to the bookcase next to her and took out a book. On the cover of the book, there was a picture of a man kicking a woman away, while the woman sat on the ground and made a gesture to retain the man.
The cover also says "Atami Love Story".
"These should be the statues of Guanyi and A Gong!"
Conan nodded fondly, "This postcard should come in a set of four. The four together make up the complete statues of Guanyi and Gong, but all the postcards use the blankest one in the upper left corner."
"If you are a rich person, you should be able to use all four postcards, instead of using this one that most people will throw away because it is too blank."
"Also, if you keep traveling, you should have scenic postcards from other places..."
At this time, Qin Zhibo took over the conversation at the right time to prevent Conan from talking too much and being doubted by Mao Lilan, who would eventually put the blame on himself.
"The landscape postcard was only made from defective products from one place, but the postmarks were all over the country. This means that this person must be working in a certain hotel and asked hotel guests to help send postcards all over the country."
"Maybe she doesn't want people to know her current address..."
"Anyway, if there are no other problems, we can only take a trip to Atami."
After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, he couldn't wait to stand up.
But Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment, "Wait a minute, isn't it about the commission that was introduced to me? Do you want to come with me?"
Qin Zhibo nodded matter-of-factly, "Actually, when I saw these postcards, I guessed that the target was probably at a certain scenic spot."
"I just want to go on a trip to relax recently. I will go traveling and you will go to work. No one will be delayed."
Qin Zhibo said this in a leisurely tone, which made Kogoro Mouri feel helpless as a married man who had to go around asking for trouble.
They are both uncles, so why is there such a big gap?
…
Atami is located in Shizuoka Prefecture, in the northern part of the Yinzu Peninsula.
After taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo for an hour and a half, the group set foot on the land of Atami.
On the way, Mao Lilan, who had nothing to do, told Qin Zhibo "Atami Love Story".
In order to find a future, a man named "Kuan Yi" chose to go to Tokyo and kicked his girlfriend named "A Gong", but the two were still entangled under the influence of fate.
However, this story reads: "A Gong became the bride of Guanyi's immediate boss. On the wedding day, Gong and Guanyi met. Guanyi saw the married version of Gong and was moved again. He wanted to take the bride to escape from the wedding, but his immediate boss stopped him.
"Take someone to catch you" and that's the end.
Because the original author died of illness before it was finished.
The more famous statue in Atami is the ruthless scene of Kanichi kicking his girlfriend away on the beach in Atami.
When Qin Zhibo heard this, wasn't this "the first sword on the shore is to kill the person you like first"?
According to incomplete statistics, most of the people who were beheaded before landing were women.
