Chapter 113: Looking for Father's Entrustment
Friday, April 19, Maori Detective Agency.
In the afternoon, after school, after eating, Yamazaki came to drink tea as usual.
After Dr. Ali gave birth for a week, he came up with a new gadget, and Conan has already gone to accept it. Lan was cleaning again, while Detective Maori was staring at the small TV while holding a pen, very excited and very serious, recording information, and working hard to decipher which horses will reach the finish line first tomorrow.
Soon, the doorbell rang, and business came.
The person who came was a woman, wearing a pair of round glasses, with two long braids, looking, um, a bit rustic. As soon as she sat down on the sofa, Conan shouted "I'm back", opened the door and came in, and then saw a client coming, and stood next to Maori and listened.
The woman clasped her hands together and introduced herself: "My name is Hirota Masami." Then she put her hands on her chest and begged with tears, "Please, please help me find my father."
"Okay." Molly agreed.
Ms. Masami said: "My father works in Tokyo, but there has been no news for a month, and he even quit his job in the taxi company."
Maori said, "So, here you are."
"Yes," Miss Masami explained, "They said Maori detective, you are very good at finding people. So..."
"Ah," Maori laughed, "where, where."
"I asked for leave from school and came to this place from Yamagata Prefecture," Masami-san pleaded again, "So, Mr. Detective, please help me."
"I see," said Maury, "and I'd like to help you with that."
Ms. Masami thanked: "Thank you very much." Then she handed over a photo and said, "This is my father Kenzo Hirota. He is 170 cm tall and 48 years old."
Looking at the photo, a middle-aged man was standing in front of a taxi with a black cat in his arms, smiling happily. Mao Li asked, "What about this cat?"
"My father likes cats very much, this is just him, and its name is 'Kui'." Miss Yami explained, "He also has three other cats, named 'Di', 'Hao', and 'Wang'. "
Touching the buttons on his chest, Conan thought to himself, using this thing to find someone is really nothing to say. By the way, first find someone to test it.
At this time, Lan passed by with tea, Conan decided to try it on Lan, so he immediately tore off a sticker from the button and walked up.
Yamazaki watched as Conan stepped forward while Ran was serving tea, and stretched out his hand to the protruding part of Ran's back. However, the tiles that Lan had just cleaned protected her, and Conan slipped and fell on the sofa.
Seeing Conan fell on the guest, Maori immediately shouted: "You bastard, what are you doing?"
Conan sat up quickly, stroked the back of his head and said with a dry smile, "I'm sorry." Then he found that the things in his hand were missing, so he looked around.
Miss Yami didn't care at all, she put her hands on her lap, clutched her trousers tightly, lowered her head and said in a crying voice, "My mother passed away when I was young, and my father is the only person I can rely on. If something happens to my father, I... ..."
Conan found the sticker, which was pasted on the outside of the strap of the watch Masami-san wore on her right wrist. But just when I was about to take it off, I suddenly saw drops of water.
It kept dripping on the watch, so when I looked up, it turned out that Ms. Yami was already crying, and it was her teardrops.
Lan stepped forward, sat between Conan and Ms. Yami, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely find it." Then he asked, "Isn't it, Dad?"
"Yes," Molly said, "it will."
After a while, Masami-san stopped crying, stood up and saluted and said, "Then please." Then she left with her head down.
Lan sent Ms. Yami downstairs and watched her get into the taxi before returning to the office. Then he complained to Mao Li who was drinking tea, "Dad, why are you still drinking tea here?"
"Don't worry," Molly said, "I'll go after the tea."
"That Yamazaki..." Lan called again to Yamazaki who was sitting behind his desk watching TV.
"I can't do this kind of thing," Yamazaki said, "Uncle Mori alone is enough."
"I'm leaving," Maori said, "you don't have to prepare dinner for me, I won't come back to eat." Then he went out, and then Lan cleared the table and went upstairs to cook.
When Lan left, Yamazaki smiled at Conan who was sitting on the sofa reading manga: "Hey, you just now..." While speaking, he made a gesture of waving from bottom to top, and asked with a smile, "Did you Think about that touch..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Immediately blushing, Conan jumped up from the sofa and shouted, "I just, just..."
"Just?" Yamazaki immediately asked with a smile, "Just what?"
"That," Conan explained, "Dr. Ali made a sticker transmitter that can be attached to buttons. I just want to try it on Lan."
"Sender?" Yamazaki asked helplessly, "Does it match your glasses?"
"Yeah, it's the same as the detective badge, it can be displayed by pressing the button next to the glasses, and it's the same as the detective badge, as long as the transmitter is within a radius of 20 kilometers, it will be displayed no matter where the other party is. Sticker, stick it on the button." Conan replied, "Dr. Li said that since you have tracking glasses, it would be a waste to just use them to find the Boys Detective Team, so I made this."
"That's it," Yamazaki asked with a smile, "But even if you want to stick it on Lan's body, you don't need to stick it on the protruding part, do you?"
"This, this..." Conan explained, "I didn't mean it."
"Oh," Yamazaki smiled suddenly, "by the way, you are just right, you can only go to that place."
"You bastard." Conan said as he threw the manga in his hand.
"Just kidding," Yamazaki said with a smile after taking the manga, "Take that thing and see, you probably haven't touched it."
"It's pasted," just said it, seeing Yamazaki's strange eyes, Conan quickly explained, "No, no, it wasn't pasted on Lan's body, but accidentally, it was pasted on the watch strap of Miss Masami."
"Did you get it back?" Yamazaki asked.
"Well, Lan suddenly sat down." Conan said embarrassingly, "I didn't come in a hurry."
"Well, I'll have to bring it back for you next time," Yamazaki said with a smile, "During this period, don't use it indiscriminately."
Conan said angrily: "I don't want you to remind me." Then he asked, "By the way, your intelligence should be very powerful, can you..."
"Bring it." Yamazaki stretched out his hand and smiled.
Conan asked suspiciously, "What?"
"Of course it's the entrustment fee." Yamazaki said with a smile, "because Lan wants to help her so much, I'll give you a half discount, 500,000 yuan. Of course, this is the starting price, and there will be additional fees for other fees or special circumstances. "
"Forget it," Conan said angrily, and then asked, "By the way, do you think the words Kui, Di, Hao, and Wang are very familiar?"
"Of course," Yamazaki said with a smile, "in the past few days, we have listened to it several times a day." He knocked on the table while talking.
"What?" Came over, picked up Maori's homework on the table, looked at it, and Conan smiled, "How is this possible, Emperor Haokui, this is the name of a racing horse."
"I think it is very likely to be this." Yamazaki asked with a smile, "If you look at the four characters Hao, Kui, Emperor, and Wang separately, what do you mean by each of them?"
"Ma Zhongzhi..., uh..." Conan asked back, "It's not such a coincidence, is it?"
"It's not such a coincidence, I just have four cats." Yamazaki said with a smile, "I can't afford a black Haokui emperor horse, so I raise four black cats, the Hao cat, the Kui cat, the emperor cat, and the king cat. , it’s good to have fun like this.”
"Okay," Conan said, "it seems that we can go there tomorrow and try to find it."
"I'm just saying, you don't want to find me, I don't want to go there," Yamazaki said with a smile, "I don't want to find one person among tens of thousands."
"Uh..." Conan agreed helplessly, "Okay, let's see."...
Saturday, April 20, Maori Detective Agency.
In the afternoon, when Yamazaki arrived, Lan had just changed out of her school uniform and started sanitation work, while Conan was helping out. However, just as Yamazaki finished making tea and sat down, Mori opened the door and came in, and Yamazaki immediately poured a cup for Mori.
Lan quickly asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"
After touching the teacup on the table, he picked it up and drank it in one gulp. Mao Li said with a sigh of relief: "Her father seems to be a very difficult person to get along with, and he doesn't seem to talk about his affairs with his colleagues. I asked the taxi company all over the place. No one has been found who understands him.”
At this time, the phone on the desk rang, and Lan immediately stepped forward to answer it. It was Miss Yami's call. After drinking another cup of tea, Mao Li stepped forward to answer the phone and reported: "Miss Yami, I already have a clue." , please wait a little longer."
Ms. Yami said: "Then I will leave everything to you."
After hanging up the phone, Maori leaned on the chair behind the desk, stretched his waist, and said, "It's about to start." Then he turned on the TV.
"Huh?" Lan, who was cleaning the table, looked at the words in the notebook spread out on the table, pointed to the underlined words, and asked suspiciously, "Dad, is this the clue you were looking for?"
Yamazaki was taken aback, and looked at Conan, meaning, is it that thing from yesterday?
Conan nodded, meaning, it was that thing from yesterday.
Yamazaki smiled wryly, this is troublesome, looking for someone at the racetrack...
At this time, a voice came from the TV, "The one who enters the arena now is the powerful emperor with the title of the undefeated king..."
"Well," Maori said casually while watching the TV, "this is..."
"Ah, I understand. Mr. Hirota must like to bet on this powerful emperor horse, so he named his cat after the horse. Since this horse will appear today, Mr. Hirota said Maybe." Lan shouted excitedly, "Let's go too."
"Ah?" Came back to his senses, Maori asked, "Go, where are you going?"
"Go to the racetrack, didn't you come back to see if Mr. Hirota will appear on TV?" Lan said, "Let's go to the scene and find Mr. Hirota."
"Huh? Well, yes," said Molly, "but..."
"Oh, don't talk about it, this game is about to start." Pulling Maori, Lan said, "Let's go to the racetrack. By the way, Yamazaki and Conan are here to help."
Conan immediately laughed.
"Okay." Yamazaki said helplessly, and then drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. ...
