Furuya Rei: The sun falls into the arms of the moon
Chapter 88: Nocturne of Detectives - Prologue
The TV at the Maori Detective Agency broadcast today's top news.
Yes, it was the TV.
Because of the previous invasion of Noah's Ark, Kogoro Mori had to buy another one.
For these days, Kogoro Mori kept talking about Noah's Ark every day.
For example, a broken computer, a bad computer...
Although in people's eyes, Noah's Ark no longer exists. But Maori Kogoro will always remember it.
Kogoro Mouri sat there watching the robbery and murder case.
"Really? I started to understand the news this morning."
"It can't be helped because the robbery happened less than a week ago."
"And a staff member of that bank was shot and killed."
Maori Kogoro lit a cigarette and said, "As I recall, he seemed to be trying to resist the robbers, so he was shot, right?"
"I don't think he wanted to resist, because according to the statements of the customers who were doing business in the bank at that time."
"He raised his hands like this, and it looked like he was begging the murderer to say, 'OK, stop it.'"
"But that would only make the murderer angry, and shooting him would be no different from resisting."
There was a sound of door opening outside and Xiaolan looked over.
Toru Amuro came over, "But, people really can't do bad things."
"I heard that most of the 2 million yen that was stolen was new banknotes that had just been shipped from the head office."
"The serial number of the banknote is easy to identify."
Toru Amuro came back with freshly made desserts.
Maori Kogoro took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Yes, even if they robbed the money that they dared not use, it would only be a matter of time before those robbers were caught."
Maori Kogoro suddenly turned around and looked at Amuro Toru, "By the way, why are you here?"
“I brought a midday snack sandwich to the Maori teacher who always looked after me.”
"Of course, it's my personal treat."
Xiaolan clapped her hands, "Even our portion was delivered."
"Of course."
"Thank you so much."
"Where, where."
Lingzi leaned against the door frame, "You are so virtuous, aren't you, Mr. Amuro?"
Xiaolan turned to look at Lingzi, "Ms. Lingzi? Oh, you are here to give us flowers, right?"
Lingzi smiled and said, "Yes, but Mr. Maori, flowers don't like places with the smell of smoke."
Xiaolan came over and Lingzi handed the flowers to her. "The flowers have already been soaked, so you just need to put them in the vase."
"Miss Lingzi, is there anything else?"
Xiaolan was looking at the mirror while still holding her bag. Lingzi smiled and shook the car keys. "Yes, I'll leave now. Bye, Xiaolan."
Xiaolan nodded, "Goodbye, Miss Lingzi."
Toru Amuro continued chatting with Xiaolan, "For Mr. Maori, this little thing is nothing."
Conan didn't know why he kept looking at Toru Amuro.
This guy is really casual.
Amuro Toru rested his arms on the back of the sofa and looked at Maori Kogoro, "By the way, what kind of case will today's client be dealing with?"
"Eh? How do you know this?"
"Of course I know that. Normally, on a normal holiday lunch, you, Mr. Maori, would be lazy and hold a horse racing newspaper in your hand."
"But today the teacher shaved his beard and tied his tie neatly. He looked like he was waiting for some guests to visit."
"Mr. Amuro is really amazing. There is no need for you to be my father's apprentice."
"No, no, this is also thanks to Mr. Mao Li's daily good teaching."
I don't think he taught anything though...
"You work very hard yourself, Amuro."
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, teacher."
"And if we reason further, this time was originally the live broadcast time of Yoko Okino's concert."
"But this client was able to make the teacher not want to watch at all and concentrate on waiting. It must be a very important case, right?"
Kogoro Maori suddenly stood up, he had forgotten.
"Eh!!!"
After changing into a cheering outfit, I sat in front of the TV and started watching Yoko Okino's performance...
Amuro Toru was a little helpless by his behavior, "This... this is..."
Xiaolan looked at him helplessly, "He deliberately changed the time agreed with the client just to watch the live broadcast."
……
very good……
This uncle is also very casual...
End of the show
"Well, I just said that the client would come to visit. Didn't I mention that?"
"But I don't know what kind of person is coming."
"Eh?"
"Because this person happened to be the first client our firm contacted through the website."
"It turns out that Mr. Maori also set up a website online."
Amuro Toru looked at the screen of his computer website, "As expected of Mr. Mori, he can even do something like this easily."
"I guess so. I also made some digital changes to cope with the future international world."
……
But the point is, the person who created the website is Conan...
"Well, the concert is over, and the client should be here soon."
Kogoro Maori looked at his watch.
Then a text message came on the phone.
"Text message? Let me see."
"Hello, I'm Kei Kenzuka, who I had agreed to visit you today."
"Due to my personal reasons, I hope to change the agreed location to Columbus Cafe if possible."
"That store should be very close to your place, so we should be able to meet at the original time. What do you think?"
"I await your reply."
"It's really troublesome. I think I'll just refuse."
Mao Lilan held his phone and said, "No, Dad. We finally have a customer."
"Besides, Conan and I haven't had lunch yet anyway. Wouldn't it be nice to stop by Columbus to eat?"
"So, what are we going to do with these sandwiches?"
Xiaolan took it over and said, "Put this in the refrigerator first. It will be good as dinner tonight."
"Sandwiches are all I can have for dinner."
"Dad, the ash is falling."
The ash fell onto the table and Kogoro Mouri put out the cigarette.
"Dad, you better be careful. What if it causes a fire?"
"Besides, our family's financial situation has become extremely dire because of someone's constant laziness."
The two men stared at him and complained bitterly.
"This joke is hilarious."
"Then Mr. Maori, I want to go with you to meet the client and talk to him. Is this okay?"
"It just so happens that I only work until noon today."
"It's fine if you want to go, but since we're going to meet, you have to pay the tuition fee."
"Of course."
They came down as a group.
Toru Amuro is preparing to go back to the Poirot Café to change clothes.
"Mr. Maori, you guys go ahead. I need to go in first and get my coat."
Several people separated.
……
A silver sports car flashed by from the other side.
"The key to the automatic locker?"
"Yes, this client found the key to this locker from the belongings of his brother who passed away a few days ago."
"But he doesn't know which locker the key is. He hopes I can help him find it."
"If it's something very important to him, I hope it can be put in the coffin and buried together."
"But can you find that?"
"Generally, the name of the manufacturing company and a serial number will be engraved on the key."
"As long as we call the company and find out who manufactured the locker, we can start looking for it."
“I didn’t expect it to be so simple.”
"That's it."
The three of them were eating and Amuro Toru was drinking coffee.
Amuro Toru held the cup and asked, "Is this the only request from this client?"
"Yes, then you are willing to give me 30 yuan. It's a good job, right?"
"Indeed."
After waiting for a long time, the client still hasn't arrived.
"Why hasn't this client come yet?"
Amuro Toru looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "Could it be that there is another cafe called Columbus nearby?"
"No."
"The client said he wanted to change the meeting place to here. Did Mr. Maori reply to the text message? "
"Yeah, I responded right away."
"I just sent several text messages to the people who are waiting for him here."
"But there was no reply."
He blew on his coffee, "I see."
Maori Kogoro looked at his phone and said, "The text message from the client last night and the text message just now were sent from a different number."
"Maybe because his own phone was charging, so he borrowed his friend's phone and sent the text message in a hurry."
"And then not long after, his friend might have just turned off his phone."
"My text message to reply OK was sent to that number!"
Conan couldn't help but complain, "Maybe the other party didn't know you replied OK, so he kept waiting there. It was the place we agreed on at the beginning, the detective agency."
They all went back immediately.
"There's no one here either."
"That's right."
"Just in case, I also texted the original number saying I'd be right back."
"The other party should reply to you soon."
Xiaolan walked to the kitchen and asked, "Would you like to drink some tea while we wait?"
Maori Kogoro put his phone away, "No thanks, I've had too much to drink in Columbus."
