Chapter 243: A Commission Late at Night

September 6th, Friday, Golden Day.

After school in the afternoon, Conan was planning to go back to the office to see if there would be any other commissions, but he was dragged by the three detectives to the Southern Aquarium because there was a rumor among the schools that a new batch of dolphins had arrived there. , one of which is white, very cute.

At three o'clock, on the road, Conan suddenly found a man wearing sunglasses, a khaki hat, and a khaki windbreaker hiding behind a postbox in front of him. Hat and sunglasses, a bearded man in a windbreaker, but this bearded man is wearing a light-colored casual series, while the sneaky man is obviously wearing work clothes for a long-term stay.

Looking again, Conan found that the sneaky guy turned out to be Maori, so he touched him and asked, "Uncle, are you watching that guy?"

Maori was taken aback, and then realized that it was Conan, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Go, go, kid, hurry up, don't hinder my work."

Turning his eyes, Conan smiled and said, "By the way, uncle, you don't know, brother Yamazaki received a commission yesterday and got 100,000 yen."

"Really?" Maori asked in surprise, and then realized that the voice was too loud, so he quickly covered his mouth.

"But he only got 50,000 yen, and he took the rest to treat people to dinner." Conan smiled, and at the same time smiled in his heart, uncle, you can guess slowly. Then they found that the three members of the detective team found that he hadn't followed, and came back to look for him, fearing that it would really disturb Mao Li's work, so they laughed, "Goodbye, Uncle Mao Li." Then they ran away.

"Hey, boy, Conan, don't run away, tell me clearly." Maori said, and then saw that Conan didn't even look back, and complained, "This brat." Then he looked at his watch and started marking people again .

As soon as it was four o'clock, Mori, who checked the time from time to time, immediately contacted Yamazaki, who was drinking tea in the Mori Detective Agency, using his mobile phone.

"Yamazaki, did something happen yesterday?" Mori asked.

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Someone came to entrust the agency to find someone, and asked for it as soon as possible, so I asked Officer Yumi Miyamoto from the Traffic Division to help, and then treated her to a meal with half of the entrustment fee."

Maori said distressedly: "That's 50,000 yen."

"Uncle Mori, if you think about it this way, we earned an extra 30,000 yen this time." Yamazaki asked with a smile, "Is this better?"

"Well," Mao Li scratched his face and said with a smile, "it seems to be the reason."

Yamazaki asked: "By the way, Uncle, did you see the commission last night? Does that matter?"

"Didn't read it." Maori asked, "What's the problem?"

"I signed the name of the firm on the entrustment." Yamazaki said.

"It doesn't matter." Maori said, "By the way, my commission, there is one more day tomorrow, and the firm will hand it over to you."

"Okay, Uncle Maori." Yamazaki smiled, and then found that Maori hung up the phone, and said to himself, "Uncle Maori didn't read it, but someone said it. If it was Lan, he would tell Uncle Maori all. Like this Half of it, it was obviously trying to catch Uncle Mouri's appetite, it must have been done by Conan."...

In the evening, at 5:30, Yamazaki closed the door of the Mori Detective Agency, ending today's duty work.

Downstairs, Yamazaki, who just left the corridor of Mori's house, greeted Mei Daizi, who also just left the corridor of her own house. Then I found that not far to the right,

Kaito and Aoko were walking towards here, and at the intersection on the far left, Ran also turned into this street.

Mei Daizi opened the door and entered Mei Dai Restaurant, then turned on the lights, and the daily preparations for Mei Dai Restaurant began.

Coming out of the locker room, Kaito in a white bear suit smiled and asked Yamazaki who was cleaning the counter: "The kid didn't come today? You asked for leave yesterday, so today is considered absent from work, right?"

Yamazaki said with a smile: "He didn't tell anyone today, so it should be."

"Kaito," said Qingzi, who was arranging food, "Why are you always arguing with Conan, hurry up and move things."

"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape." Mei Daizi came over with two stacks of food boxes and said with a smile, "just to sell that dress." She said and put the food next to Qingzi.

"That dress?" Kaito laughed, "That's interesting."

Lan, who was mopping the floor in the middle, asked loudly, "What clothes are you talking about?"

"It's the one your mother made again after you wore that pink maid outfit." Mei Daizi smiled, "That outfit is so amazing that I'm too embarrassed to wear it."

"It's really amazing," Kaito said with a smile, "I think it's just right for that kid."

Qingzi asked, "What's it like?"

"Let Kaito take you to see it in a while," Mei Daizi smiled, "It's very beautiful."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "I don't think he will agree even if he is cheating."

"It's okay," Kaito said with a smile, "I'll put it on for him then."

At this time, Yamazaki's mobile phone rang, and it was Maoli's.

"Yamazaki, hurry up and help me." Maori called out in a hurry.

"Uncle Mori, what happened?" Yamazaki asked seriously. Hearing this, Lan immediately came over.

"I, that," Maori said, "Anyway, hurry up and help me out, I can't do it, ah!"

Yamazaki was taken aback when Maori suddenly called out, and then Maori's voice came from the mobile phone, "Bathroom, bathroom, damn it, where is the bathroom?" Yamazaki was speechless.

Lan asked worriedly, "Dad, what happened to him?"

"It's nothing serious, I guess I got sick from eating." Yamazaki said with a smile, "I'm looking for a bathroom now."

Mei Daizi, Lan, Kaidou and Qingzi were stunned for a moment, and then laughed together.

Lan said helplessly, "Dad must be greedy for cheap, and bought bento that was about to expire." Then he asked, "Yamazaki, do you know the place?"

"Don't you have a mobile phone?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "I'll leave it to you, I'll go and replace Uncle."

Mei Daizi asked: "Brother, you haven't had dinner yet, is it okay?"

"It's okay," Yamazaki smiled, "and it shouldn't be too late."

Mei Daizi said: "Then if you don't come back, I'll bring you the supper then."

"Okay." Yamazaki said with a smile, "That's it."...

At six o'clock, the first guest came. It was Zhongsen Police Department. He was the only one without his subordinates today. He sat where Mao Li usually sat and ordered a dozen beers.

At 6:30, Yamazaki called. Mao Li had severe diarrhea. He had already bought medicine for Mao Li, and persuaded Mao Li to go back. Now Mao Li is taking a taxi home, and he will take care of him until late at night, and then take the The address was reported to Mei Daizi.

After seven o'clock, Mao Li's taxi arrived, and Lan sent him home to rest.

At eight o'clock, Conan came in with his schoolbag on his back, and was called over by Miko Miyamoto.

Conan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Well, Aunt Miko, I..."

"Needless to say, asking for leave is one penalty and two penalties," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "If you didn't ask for leave, I didn't say it at the beginning, but let's compare it with Mei Daizi's public account."

"Public, public accounts?" Conan was taken aback, thinking that Mei Daizi had said that she had to wear fancy clothes for public accounts, so she immediately said, "No, Aunt Meizi."

"Or can you give any special reason?" Miko Miyamoto smiled, "But look at the wet and dry marks on your clothes, and the fishy smell, you went to the aquarium to play Well, I even helped feed the fish and shrimp."

"Yes." Conan said with a bow.

"There's nothing you can do about it. Who told you not to call back?" Miyamoto Miko smiled, "Mei Daizi and the others have already arranged for you, you can enjoy it." Then he said, "Put the schoolbag in the front On the sofa, go take a shower and change clothes."

"Oh." Conan sighed, and blamed those three Genta guys, I said I came back earlier, this is a big trouble. Well, it seems that we can only rely on it.

After changing clothes, Conan went to the rest area and found that only Mei Daizi, Qingzi and Lan were there.

Seeing Conan appearing, the three immediately laughed, watched Conan discussing a few words in a low voice, and then laughed together. This made Conan feel cold all over, and his heart was shaky.

"Conan, your kid is finally back, and you didn't even make a phone call. This makes people very worried, you know?" Mei Daizi asked.

"I'm sorry." Conan sincerely admitted his mistake.

"I'm sorry is not enough." Mei Daizi smiled, "To make you realize the seriousness of your mistake, to help you not to make it again, to make you remember it deeply, and to compensate for our worries, you will leave tomorrow. Wear that to work."

"Uh," Conan asked, "can't you do it without wearing it?"

"What do you think?" Mei Daizi smiled, "Be good, let me wear it tomorrow."

This is your purpose, right? Conan didn't answer, and sat down next to Lan in his seat and began to eat.

Qingzi asked curiously: "Mei Daizi, did your aunt say these words to you before?"

"No, I saw it on TV." Mei Daizi smiled, "I'm a good boy, and I never forget to say hello to my mother. How could my mother tell me this?"

Conan is speechless, is this a good boy? So how did you get the nickname Tyrannosaurus?

Qingzi asked, "What did Auntie tell you again?"

"Mom said, in order to treat them differently than usual," Mei Daizi smiled, "so I found some weird clothes for me to wear."

Lan said, "It's really weird."

"But it's very beautiful." Qingzi said.

Lan said, "Well, it's really beautiful."

"Then you can wear it and go." Mei Daizi said with a smile.

Qingzi and Lan blushed and said, "It's still not necessary."

What kind of clothes are they? Conan thought worriedly, and blushed as soon as he said it.

Not long after, Conan found out that Yamazaki hadn't come, so he asked again, "Sister Lan, where is Brother Yamazaki?"

Lan said: "Dad accidentally ate his stomach, and Yamazaki went to help. Now Dad has an upset stomach and is resting at home."

"So that's how it is." Conan said with a smile, staring at people, so I won't go.

Just after nine o'clock, Kaito came down from upstairs. Seeing Conan there, he asked, "Boy, have you seen that dress?"

Shaking his head, Conan didn't speak.

"That is a very beautiful dress, you will like it." Kaito smiled, and continued, "Come with me, I will show you."

Not long after, Conan ran back with a flushed face, "Mei Daizi, sister, I will never wear that peacock outfit, absolutely." Then he shouted, "Sister Lan, Sister Qingzi."

"That," Lan said shyly, "I want to see it too."

Qingzi smiled and said, "It's just right for a child like you."

The problem is, I'm not a kid. Conan shouted: "Anyway, I don't know how to wear it. And my aunt didn't say I wanted it like this."

Kaito laughed and said, "I didn't say it couldn't be done at the beginning."

"You..." Conan was too angry to speak.

Qingzi asked: "Mei Daizi, are we bullying children like this?"

Lan said, "When you say that, I feel the same way."

"Okay," Mei Daizi said, rubbing her chin, "I also feel like we are bad guys." Then she said, "Well, I won't force you, Conan, just owe this debt. However, this dress is also reserved for you. You can wear it when you are ready. It only takes one working day. Of course, if you haven’t worn it before you finally leave, then don’t blame me Help you wear it." Then he asked, "What do you think, Conan?"

"This," Conan asked, "can I not wear it?"

"Who told you to make a mistake, it's too late to regret it." Kaito said with a smile, "This is the punishment you deserve."

This is what you decided, right? Conan asked: "Can I change it?"

"No." Mei Daizi smiled and asked you to change, who will wear this clothes?

"Okay." Conan said deflatedly, lying on the table, "I see."

After ten o'clock, when eating supper, Mei Daizi took out a big food box, and filled it with a lot of food.

At eleven o'clock, Mei Daizi sent the big food box to Yamazaki who was squatting in the dark.

"Brother, go out and eat under the street lamp," said Mei Daizi, who was carrying a food box, "Is it someone from the big house in front? I'll help you look after it."

"Wait a little longer," Yamazaki said with a smile, "The client can wait until twelve o'clock."

"Twelve o'clock?" Mei Daizi said, "Today is Friday, and now it's weekend again, so he went to bed so early?"

"Uncle Mao Li said, that's what the client said." Yamazaki said with a smile, "every day from eight o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the night, for three consecutive days starting from yesterday, follow and protect this person, and don't show up to let him know unless necessary. "

"Tracking and protection?" Mei Daizi asked, "Is there any villain who wants to attack this person?"

"Uncle Mao Li said that he suddenly received a call from his client in the detective agency the night before yesterday, saying that he suspected that someone wanted to harm his friend, that is, this person, so please follow up and investigate this person to see who is around this person. It’s not that something abnormal happened.” Yamazaki said with a smile, “However, I didn’t notice the abnormal situation around this person, but this commission, I think it’s very abnormal.”

"Why?" Mei Daizi asked, "Even if you suddenly dreamed of something while dreaming, and then immediately called your uncle to investigate, isn't it strange?"

"It's not surprising to ask uncle to follow up the investigation and protect it secretly." Yamazaki asked, "But, what time do you think the Mori Detective Agency usually closes?"

"Uncle Mao Li said that he works from 8:30 to 5:30, which is harder than office workers who work from 9 to 5." Mei Daizi said, "By the way, if it was the day before yesterday, Uncle Mao Li was still at Mei Dai Restaurant The work is coming, it must be after 10:30 in the night, and I called the Mori Detective Agency at that time, it was really strange, how did the client know that there was someone in the office?" Then watching Yamazaki pointing to the person who was being watched by them, Liang A house with lights on, and said, "By the way, the client knew someone was there only when he saw the lights. If you say that, the client might have been near the detective agency at that time." Then he asked, "Is that so, brother?" ?”

"That's right," Yamazaki said with a smile, "It's strange, but you don't go up when you come, but call instead."

"Indeed." Mei Daizi asked, "Brother, do you know why?"

"I guess I don't want to meet Uncle Maori," Yamazaki said with a smile, "It's probably because of the detective's intuition that Uncle Maori said on TV. Didn't that intuition solve the case of a family accomplice? He may be I'm afraid that Uncle Maori will use his detective intuition to see something from him."

Mei Daizi asked: "So, is that client a bad person?"

"It's too early to say bad guys," Yamazaki laughed, "and this is just an unfounded guess."

"Is that so." Looking at the sky, Mei Daizi asked, "It's almost time, brother, can you get off work?"

Yamazaki turned his back and looked at the time on the mobile phone with a small flashlight, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, there are still about ten minutes. By the way, when did Conan go back."

"Conan didn't come back until after eight o'clock. He was determined not to wear that peacock suit, so I told him to wear it when he was ready." Mei Daizi said, "Anyway, he must wear it once before leaving Mei Dai Restaurant. Then he asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

"Let's do it like this. If you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences." Yamazaki said with a smile, that peacock suit is only suitable for children, but are you a child? Kudo Shinichi.

After a while, Mei Daizi asked again: "Is it almost time now, brother?"

Turning his back to check the time on the mobile phone with a small flashlight, Yamazaki said with a smile: "It's ok, the working hours are over."

"Great," Mei Daizi smiled, "Brother, go and eat quickly, I brought a lot of delicious food."

"If there are a lot, Mei Daizi can eat with me." Yamazaki said with a smile, "It should be interesting to have a night meal under the street lamp."...
