Chapter 1883: Games Under Doom
April 3, Tuesday, before noon, outside the Mihua Shrine.
Dr. A Li found a restaurant suitable for the answer from a stack of restaurant advertisements, then wrote a letter, stuffed the letter and all the advertisements into an envelope, and entrusted the bulging envelope to the host, asking him Hand it over to the boy detective team who are coming over later.
The host asked if he was playing with the children, and he agreed with a smile.
After Dr. Ali left the shrine, he walked out of the shrine with a relaxed body, and then remembered a serious problem. He patronized the children to please him, but forgot about the capacity of his wallet when he wanted to treat guests.
Dr. Ali hurriedly took out his wallet to check, seeing that he brought two 10,000 yen bills, he was relieved.
However, this breath seemed to blow up, and both banknotes were blown up, blowing out of the wallet.
Dr. Ali stretched out his hand and grabbed a banknote. He was about to see another banknote about to fall to the ground. When he went to pick it up again, a gust of wind blew the other banknote away.
"Ah, don't run." Dr. Ali quickly chased after him. What a joke, 10,000 yen is a fraction of pocket money. ...
Because Dr. Ali would spend money indiscriminately on inventions, Huiyuan had to take over the management of the family's property, so that Dr. Ali would not end up like Mao Li and become a moonlight clan.
Although Dr. A Li works in the laboratory of the Good Mood Foundation, Dr. A Li is only a nominal employee. In fact, he has no contract, no salary, and insurance. Everything must be paid separately.
The sources of income for the family are Dr. A Li's patent fees and non-standard products. Fortunately, Dr. A Li has a house and savings left by his elders, otherwise he could have applied for relief.
It's just that the house also has to pay taxes. As far as Dr. A Li's method of using money is concerned, the consequence is probably to sell the house and live in a nursing home.
The family’s source of income is the second, the patent of the lazy series of cleaning products developed by Huiyuan, which is authorized to the Good Mood Consortium. The annual income is calculated as 100 million yen, and this is the main source.
However, Huiyuan also has an underground laboratory, which costs millions of yen a day for electricity, and a few million yen for a single mouse, not counting other experimental materials, the whole thing is a money-burning machine.
In addition, Huiyuan still has to go shopping, buy bags and fashion items, and spend a lot of money.
Therefore, in order to prevent the two of them from holding a bunch of bags and fashion items in their hands, taking care of the park and eating instant noodles as their staple food, Huiyuan could only reluctantly become a housekeeper.
The consequence is that Dr. Ali is on par with Mao Li and has become a pocket money recipient.
There is Concubine Yingli behind Mori's house, and she gives money in the name of Lan's child support. Dr. Ali can't take advantage of Fusae, right? That's too far away, and she only appeared later, and she wasn't there earlier.
In addition, Dr. Ali does not smoke or drink, does not buy horses or play pachinko, does not go to mahjong parlors and does not go to nightclubs, so the monthly pocket money is not as generous as the gross profit.
As for the money for invention and production, you can apply for it separately, provided that Dr. A Li can convince Huiyuan first, otherwise you will not be able to get Huiyuan's broadcast money.
In this way, Dr. Ali's pocket money is still surplus compared to gross profit.
Dr. A Li had nothing to refute. In addition, because he often went out to play, Huiyuan opened the overdraft function for him. In fact, there was no limit. In the end, he could only compromise on the amount of pocket money. ...
When Dr. A Li was chasing money, he vaguely heard the sound of a car, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
It's just that he can catch the money flying in the air right away, so Dr. A Li didn't give up, and when he reacted, a black SUV rushed out of the alley, it was the one next to him that could only accommodate one car. Driving alley.
Dr. A Li hurriedly evaded, and the black SUV also slammed the brakes on the steering wheel, and finally scraped against the wall of the alley, bypassed Dr. A Li's body, and stopped with a brake mark several meters long.
Dr. A Li was still in shock,
It was found that it was a black five-door SUV, the window glass was completely opaque, and the inside could not be seen from the outside at all, and the situation inside could not be seen.
Seeing that the car was parked in the middle of the road, it seemed that it couldn't start. Dr. Ali couldn't help but knocked on the window and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Stinky old man, get out of here." A young male driver's voice came.
"ah?"
Dr. Ali was surprised and angry at the young male driver's harsh words, but it was his fault that he ran to the alley suddenly.
Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the other party's quick response and a bit of luck, he would have fallen into a pool of blood by now.
But now, the other party's car seems to be broken, with a lot of scratches, and the engine seems to have problems, so it's no wonder that the other party is angry.
Therefore, Dr. A Li restrained his anger, "Well, I will pay for all maintenance costs other than insurance."
A female voice came from the carriage, "Old guy, if you are told to leave, hurry up, what are you talking about."
"But, are you really all right?" Dr. Ali rubbed his head, not knowing what was going on. It was so strange to drive the responsible person away after the car accident.
"We're fine, you leave quickly." The door on the other side opened, and a young man wearing a hat and mask got out of the car.
"Well, I'd better call the traffic police."
Dr. A Li couldn't help but backed away, several thoughts turned in his mind, drunk driving, drug driving, carrying illegal items, fugitive.
"Here!" The sound of electric current passed through his ears, and Dr. Li fainted. The last thing he saw in his eyes was the electric shock device raised by the other party, and the last consciousness in his mind was that there was something wrong with them, what a coincidence, what a bad luck. ...
Ten minutes later, Mihua Shrine.
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko rushed to the shrine to look for Dr. Ari, and Haibara asked the host and got a letter from Dr. Ari.
Looking at a stack of restaurant advertisements and riddles, the four quickly found a restaurant advertisement that matched the riddle.
After bidding farewell to the host, the four of them left the shrine. Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were even happier, because it was obvious that Dr. Ali planned to treat guests to a big meal.
Passing by an alley, Hui Yuan found a trace of a sudden brake, and for some reason, suddenly became a little uneasy.
When he went to the restaurant and found that Dr. A Li was not there, Hui Yuan's face immediately changed, and he ran back to the alley to check carefully, and he was relieved to see that there was no blood.
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, who came back with them, were a little unclear, and asked one after another.
Huiyuan said with a serious face: "If my intuition is correct, this car accident is related to Dr. A Li."
Ayumi was taken aback, "No way?"
Yuan Tai asked in confusion: "How do you know?"
Mitsuhiko echoed, "Yes, Haibara, how did you know?"
Huiyuan called Dr. Ali on his mobile phone, but no one answered, and the phone was turned off.
Huiyuan said: "This is the proof."
Mitsuhiko said: "But, maybe it was to prevent us from finding him, so the phone was turned off."
Huihara said: "No, if we don't unlock his code, we will definitely call Dr. Ari, and Dr. Ari's purpose is to treat us to dinner, so he will definitely wait for us with his mobile phone on, triumphantly. Wait until we admit defeat."
Yuan Tai said: "That's right."
"Then what should we do?" Ayumi was anxious, "Dr. Li must have been sent to some hospital, how should we find it?"
Mitsuhiko said: "Go home and wait. The hospital will definitely call when they find Dr. Ali's cell phone." Then he reacted, "No, even if the hospital doesn't call, there is no reason to turn off the phone. "
Yuan Tai wondered: "Could it be just hit by a car?"
"No, you see, there is no mobile phone fragments in the ground." Mitsuhiko looked at the ground carefully, "It's strange, why is there no blood at all?"
"Ah, that means Dr. Ari was not injured," Ayumi said happily, "That's great."
"It's not good at all." Huiyuan said, "When there is no injury, the person is gone and the phone is turned off. There is only one reason."
Mitsuhiko shouted: "I see, Dr. Ali has been kidnapped."
"What?" Yuan Tai lost his voice, "Really?"
Ayumi said with tears in her eyes, "Then let's call the police."
Huiyuan vetoed: "No, I don't know the other party's identity and motives, so I can't act rashly."
Thoughts swirled in Huiyuan's mind, organization, and thought about it again and again, but he still didn't think so.
If the organization wanted to kidnap, they would not leave such sudden brake marks on the ground. Their actions were targeted. If Dr. Li was caught, they would be absolutely invisible and would not leave any clues.
By the way, in reverse reasoning, this car accident was an accident that happened by chance.
That is to say, Dr. Ali almost got into a car accident, and when he was talking to the other party, he found that the other party had a problem, but he didn't escape, so he was involved in a certain incident.
The reason was the speed of the car. Judging from the brake marks, the car was not driving slowly in the alley.
There must be something wrong with driving in this kind of alley like this.
The question now is what happened and where did Dr. Ali go.
Forget it, let the real detectives come and solve this problem, they have a lot of free time anyway. ...
