Chapter 1592: The First Entry of Guoyou's House
Monday, October 3, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.
Mao Li invited "Big Nose" into the house, but when he wanted to serve tea to the guests, he was stopped by "Big Nose".
"Don't bother, Maori Detective, let me introduce myself first. My name is Akatsuka Kenzo, and I am the housekeeper of Kuniyou's house. My master, Mr. Junda, I hope you can come by the house. The car is downstairs."
Mao Li blinked in a daze, "Passing the house? What kind of entrustment?"
"Oh, here is your deposit." Kenzo Akatsuka took out a check for 100,000 yen.
"It's so mysterious, it won't be a good thing if you look at it, so don't go." Mao Li didn't take over. The last time I went to Isekawa's house, I didn't get any benefits.
Akatsuka Kenzo took out another check for 200,000 yen, "What about this?"
Mao Li rolled out a pair of money eyes, "Ah, no problem, let's go now, please."
Maori waved his hand and took the check by the way. ...
But when Mao Li went downstairs, he ran into Conan, Ran, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko who came back from school.
Lan asked, "Dad, what are you..."
Mori said: "Well, I'm going out for a while, Yamazaki, if you have nothing to do, come over." Then he said to Akatsuka Kenzo, "This is an intern in my office."
"Okay, uncle." Yamazaki replied, and then gave the schoolbag to Mei Daizi, "Help take it, and tell Mom and Dad."
"Understood." Mei Daizi was a little unhappy, and now she went to work alone.
"Ah, I'm going to play too..." Conan was itchy, and under the banner of going to play, he wanted to see what happened, and at the same time he gave Yamazaki a wink.
"Okay, Conan, stop making trouble." Lan said with a headache.
Yamazaki laughed and said, "Uncle, let him come."
Maori looked at Akatsuka Kenzo, Akatsuka Kenzo agreed, so Conan joined, and Lian Ran also joined.
The driver is a frail young man who claims to be Mian Yin Shi Sheng.
Kenzo Akatsuka sat in the passenger seat, and Yamazaki, Mori, and Ran, who was holding Conan, sat in the back seat.
The car was on the road, and Mao Li asked angrily: "Okay, butler Akatsuka, now you can talk, where are you looking for me, and what are you going to do?"
Butler Kenzo Akatsuka rubbed his hands dryly and said with a dry smile, "Well, you are well-known in our Shizuoka County."
"Yeah." Molly was very happy.
Akatsuka Kenzo, the butler, said with a dry smile, "We have tried to find a priest and a spiritual master, but none of them worked, so we can only look for you."
Mao Li's face changed, "Wait, priest and spirit exorcist, are you looking for me..."
Akatsuka Kenzo, the butler, said with a dry smile, "Well, a supernatural event."
Lan couldn't help laughing and said, "Could it be that what you just said is that Dad is famous in the spirit world in Shizuoka County?"
"Whispering!" Mao Li jumped violently, "Driver, take me back to the office, I won't do this commission."
"Wait, wait, Mr. Mori, you have received a deposit." Kenzo Akatsuka, the butler, emphasized the word "deposit", implying that there is still a final payment.
"Uh," Maori understood, and stopped being angry immediately, "Okay, tell me what's going on."
"It all started with one of my master's nightmares," said housekeeper Kenzo Akatsuka. "My master woke up in the middle of the night and kept repeating, 'Curse, it's a curse, I will be killed'."
Mao Li had a toothache, "I should go to a dream interpreter."
"At first it was just a dream, but something really happened later." Akatsuka Kenzo said the butler, "First, the car the master was riding in suddenly failed to brake, and a serious accident almost happened. This is the most clear."
Mian Yin Shi Sheng said: "Yes, it's all my fault. I didn't find the brake fluid leaking at that time."
Yamazaki looked at Shi Sheng in the rearview mirror. It didn't look like he was lying, but the driver's duty is to maintain the car every day.
So except for non-man-made situations, the only ones who can do it are those who know how long he maintains the vehicle.
Butler Kenzo Akatsuka said sadly: "Because of that accident, the master's heart was in trouble, his eye sockets were sunken, his hair was all white, and he looked much older."
Maori asked, "Then why did it become a supernatural event again?"
"It's very natural to think so. If you receive this kind of card for no reason, of course you will associate it." Akatsuka Kenzo, the butler, took out a card.
"Before I wake up, let me confess my sins and make amends. I am the soul of the fifth person." Mao Li took the card and read it, "Who sent this?"
"I don't know at all, it just appeared in the mailbox like this," said the housekeeper Kenzo Akatsuka, "At first we thought it was some kind of prank, but when I showed it to the master, this time even the wife also came along with it." Terrified."
"This is a bit strange." Maori asked, "Is that all?"
"Then, the dining cabinet suddenly fell down in the middle of the night," said the housekeeper Kenzo Akatsuka, "and there was a strange sound coming from the room where only the master and wife were clearly in."
"That's all." Maori pondered.
"Well, Detective Maori," the butler Akatsuka Kenzo asked cautiously, "I want to ask if you don't feel anything about this card?"
Maori raised his triangular eyes, "When you say feeling, do you mean supernatural feeling?"
"No?" Kenzo Akatsuka said with a dry smile, and then changed the subject, "What's really weird about it is the dates when these five things happened."
"Date?" Molly asked rhetorically, "Friday the 13th or something?"
"They're all number four," Kenzo Akatsuka said in a somewhat gloomy tone. "The fourth day of the Buddha's Extinction Day in the almanac will be the fourth day tomorrow."
"Ah!" Ran was so frightened that he tightened his grip on Conan, forcing Conan who was taking notes to stop.
Mao Li said: "So that's how it is. Tomorrow is the fourth day again, so I came here from Shizuoka County to invite me."
"Yes, we would like to ask you to use science to explain this supernatural event." Kenzo Akatsuka said in a deep voice, "Or, please find out the fifth person who is hiding in our house."
"That's quite reasonable." Maori said, "If these things are not coincidences, it is obvious that only people within you can do them."
Butler Kenzo Akatsuka said, "It's up to you Maori detective."
"Put it on me." Maori smiled triumphantly. ...
The car drove all the way to Aoi District, Shizuoka City, and drove outside a single mansion on the hill.
Thinking of the previous incident, Mao Li said, "I really don't understand why you rich people like to build houses in the suburbs."
"This magnificent house was left by the master's father, and the master lived here when he was a child," said the housekeeper Kenzo Akatsuka helplessly, "I also persuaded the master to live in the city, so that the master can go to the hospital, but the master is unwilling."
While talking, the car entered the yard and stopped under the steps in front of the door.
A young woman ran out, "Ah, why are there so many people, Uncle Xianzao, what are you doing!"
"Uh, it was an accident," said housekeeper Akatsuka Kenzo, very embarrassed, "but it was my fault that I forgot to call, sorry, sorry."
The young woman shouted angrily, "Really, I'm going to buy vegetables now."
Akatsuka Kenzo said, "Wait a minute, let Mianyin take you there."
The driver Mian Yin Shi Sheng asked suspiciously: "Me? Didn't you say that you will send the master back to the hospital for a follow-up visit later?"
Butler Akatsuka Kenzo smiled and said, "Master still wants to see Detective Mori, so you should make a quick trip during this spare time, otherwise, when she comes back by bicycle, everyone will be hungry."
"That's it." Mian cited Shi Sheng's driver to take out a notepad.
The young woman shouted: "Hey, what else is there to remember?"
"I'm used to it." The driver Mianyin Shi Sheng was a little embarrassed, but he still took the pen, but the pen was out of water.
Conan handed over the pen, "Here you are."
"Ah, thank you." The driver Mian Yin Shi Sheng took out the handkerchief to take the pen, and wiped it before using it.
The young woman helped to explain: "This guy got food poisoning when he was a child, and then he became obsessed with cleanliness."
While talking, the driver Mian Yin Shi Sheng finished using the pen, wiped it again, and returned it to Conan.
The young woman opened the car door and sat in, "Drive fast, don't drive slowly."
"Understood, fasten your seat belt." Mian Yin Shi Sheng's driver drove away.
Butler Kenzo Akatsuka introduced: "Oh, by the way, the one just now was Ms. Nanami Matsuzaki, the chef here."
Maori smiled and said, "Oh, what a young chef, he must be very skilled."
Butler Kenzo Akatsuka smiled and said, "Where, she inherited her father's position, but her craftsmanship is really good." Then he waved his hand, "Please, Detective Mori."...
Guoyou House, lobby.
A middle-aged maid was cleaning, "Ah, butler Akatsuka, you are back."
"Master and Madam..."
"They are in the bedroom on the third floor with that guest, do you want me to help bring these guests up?"
"No need." Butler Akatsuka Kenzo refused, and then looked around.
"The chef just now really looks like you."
"Snapped!"
"pain……"
Mouri pointed outside, then pointed at the maid, but the maid slapped Moori's finger away, making Mouri scream in pain.
"Don't point fingers, I have apex phobia."
"Ah?" Everyone was very surprised, this kind of problem is very rare.
The maid said angrily: "Also, Bohua is my daughter, and she takes my surname. Of course we look alike."
"Yes, that's right." Maori was embarrassed.
"Hey, Moko, isn't the painting on the fruit plate on the left wall skewed by five millimeters?" Akatsuka Kenzo said, "Please hang it upright, please."
"Yes, troublesome perfectionist." Shigeru Sakigasaki's maid muttered angrily and left.
"Okay, Maori Detective, please go this way."
"well."……
The four of them followed Kenzo Akatsuka all the way to the third floor, and found that the third floor was completely sealed, and a fingerprint machine was installed outside.
Mao Li laughed and said, "Isn't this a bit of a fuss?"
Butler Kenzo Akatsuka said: "Madam asked his friend to do this. He is the president of a security club."
"I'm the housekeeper Akatsuka, my lord. I've invited the Maori detective over."
"Okay, I'll open the door now."
Butler Kenzo Akatsuka put his finger on the fingerprint machine, and after notifying, the iron door opened immediately. ...
