Chapter 244 Problematic Entrustment

Monday, September 9, at Mei Dai Restaurant.

At around 6:30 in the evening, Mao Li came over for a drink, saying that the hard work of man-marking was over, and he wanted to reward himself. However, he went to meet the client in the evening, and judging by his happy appearance, he should have received a large amount of commission fee.

At around nine o'clock, Maoli, who was watching a small TV, sprayed out the beer in his mouth at the screen of the small TV, and then shouted: "Yamazaki, come here quickly."

Yamazaki came over and asked, "What else do you want, Uncle?"

"Look at this," Maori asked after wiping the screen of the small TV with a paper towel, "this man named Negishi Masaki on the TV, do you remember the picture I showed you? This Mr. Negishi is our The object of tracking protection."

Looking at the pictures on TV and listening to the explanation that "the police think the possibility of homicide is very high", Yamazaki asked: "He was actually killed?" Then he said, "Uncle, wait for me." Then he went After changing clothes, I greeted Miko Miyamoto by the way.

Not long after Yamazaki and Maori left, Mei Daizi, who was sitting in the rest area, never saw Yamazaki go back, picked up the intercom and asked, "Mom, where is brother going?"

"He just went to the Metropolitan Police Department with Mori," Miko Miyamoto said, "It seems that their client was killed this time." After speaking, he turned off the intercom.

"Really," Mei Daizi complained, "There is another incident."

"No way?" Lan was taken aback, "Isn't that man all right? Dad just handed in the report in the evening."

Conan didn't hear what Miko Miyamoto said in the intercom, and asked, "Sister Lan, what happened?"

"Father's client was killed, and Dad and Yamazaki went to the Metropolitan Police Department." Lan said, "I don't know the specifics."

"What!" Conan quickly asked, "Sister Lan, do you know what the commission is?"

"Not too clear," Lan said, "It should be man-marking."

"I know a little bit, my brother talked with me." Mei Daizi said, "From eight o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the night, I followed and protected that person for three consecutive days." Then he added, "By the way, my brother also said that this commission has a problem."

"What's the problem?" Conan asked.

Mei Daizi said: "The client called the Maori Detective Agency in the middle of the night to place this commission."

"Late at night?" Conan rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

"I remember," Lan said. "It was past eleven o'clock."

"It's really weird," Kaito said.

Qingzi asked, "Why?"

Conan said: "It's late at night. The office is closed. If you have something to do, you should call home or come directly to the door."

"That's right," Kaito said with a smile as he rubbed Conan's head, "Under my influence, you have become more and more qualified." Then he said, "That's why that person saw someone in the office downstairs. Only when the light was turned on did he make the phone call, that is to say, he went downstairs to the office but didn't go up."

"My brother said that it might be because of Uncle Mao Li's powerful relationship," Mei Daizi said with a smile, "I'm afraid of seeing Uncle Mao Li."

"Uncle Mao Li is indeed very powerful." Qingzi laughed.

So powerful that there is no business at all, Kaito laughed in his heart.

It's a great reputation,

Conan thought, so to speak, it might be the second type. I really want to know the specific situation, when will they come back? ...

After ten o'clock, the Metropolitan Police Department searched a conference room in Section One.

The Megure Police Department is not in the Metropolitan Police Department, but is busy outside. Mori and Yamazaki are arranged here, please wait a moment.

"Uncle," Yamazaki asked, "did you find anything?"

"Yamazaki, you don't know, the client said that he was disturbed by the order late at night, and he was willing to pay double the price." Maori said, "In the end, he paid me 500,000 yen directly."

Yamazaki smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

"It's a coincidence." Maori said seriously, "I accepted the commission, and just after I handed in the report, something happened to the commissionee."

"Uncle, you only stared at Saturday, almost two days now," Yamazaki said, "so..."

"No," Mao Li said, "my intuition tells me that these few things are connected together, and they are all related to this client."

Intuition? Yamazaki said with a smile: "I believe in you, Uncle Maori."

In the early morning, Mori and Yamazaki arrived at the Megure Police Department.

As soon as the Mumu Police Department came in, he asked: "Brother Maoli, I kept you waiting for a long time. What do you want from me?"

"Megure Police Department, the news said that a charred male body was found in the high platform of the fire festival in Chihuo Village, Gunma County. Judging from the dead remains, the deceased was Negishi Masaki." Mouri said, "And I a few days ago I have been following Mr. Negishi."

"What?" Mumu Police Department said quickly, "Maori, please be clear."

"From Thursday to Saturday, three days in a row, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm every day." Maori said, "By the way, the person who entrusted me is called Abe Yutaka."

"What! Abe Yutaka?" Megure Police Department was taken aback.

Maori quickly asked, "What's the problem?"

"Wait a minute, I'll come as soon as I go." The Mumu Police Department went out after saying that, and brought Officer Shiratori in after a while, and said, "Shiratori, talk to Mao Li."

"Mr. Masaki Negishi bought an insurance before his death, and the beneficiary was Mr. Yutaka Abe." Officer Shiratori said, "If Mr. Negishi dies, Mr. Abe will receive an insurance money of 500 million yen."

"Five to five hundred million yen!" Maori was taken aback.

At this time, Officer Sato came in and said: "The police department, the transcript of Mr. Toyo Abe has been prepared." He said and gave the transcript to the Megure police department.

"Then invite him to come here." Megure Police Department said, and then looked at the transcript and said to Maori: "Brother Maori, if it is according to what you said, then Mr. Toyo Abe has a clear proof of absence." Said Then handed the transcript to Maori.

After looking at the transcript, Maori said, "I've been in Kyushu for the past two days on weekends, and I went back to work after I came back this morning."

Yamazaki asked: "By the way, Uncle, didn't you go to see him in the evening?"

The Mumu Police Department immediately asked, "What time is it, and where is it?"

"In the coffee shop downstairs of my company," a man came in and said with a smile, "it's about 5:30." Then he asked, "Is that so, Mr. Maori?"

"Yes," Maori said, and then asked, "Mr. Abe, what happened next? More than three hours is enough for you to go to Gunma County and come back."

"I told the police just now," Mr. Abe said with a smile, "When you leave, I'll have a drink with the staff." Then he looked at Officer Sato and said, "The police brought me from the bar."

"Yes," Officer Sato said with a nod, "This has been confirmed. Mr. Abe has been drinking there."

"I know you guys doubt me because of that insurance," Mr. Abe smiled, "but I also bought this kind of insurance, and the beneficiary is Masaki's insurance."

"Masaki?" Maori asked. "You guys have known each other for a long time?"

"Masaki and I have known each other for more than 20 years since we were in college," Mr. Abe said with a smile, "One day more than three months ago, when we were drinking together, we suddenly talked about how time flies. We are both forty-two years old, and then we feel that we don’t know when we will die, so we set up such an insurance policy for each other, and bet to see which of the two of us will live longer, and the bet is of course the 500 million yen It's over." Then he sighed, "But I never imagined that the winner would be decided in just three months, it's really an impermanent world."

Megure Police Department asked: "Then, Mr. Abe, why did you ask Mori to follow him?"

"It was so sudden," Maori asked, "was it already eleven o'clock at night?"

"I'm sorry to say it. When I was working overtime in the office, I suddenly felt that Masaki was in danger, so I went to Detective Mori, and then saw that the light in the office was on, so I called Detective Mori." Abe The husband smiled and said, "In retrospect, I thought it might be due to too much work pressure, so I simply booked a plane ticket and took the staff to Kyushu to relax."

"You are really generous." Maori said angrily.

"It's late, police officers, Mr. Mori, I'm going back to sleep, and I have to go to work tomorrow." Mr. Abe smiled, "I..."

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Abe," Yamazaki said, and then asked, "Megure police department, how did Mr. Masaki Negishi get to that place? The relic shown on TV is his driver's license. Did he drive there? Where is his car?"

Officer Sato said: "Mr. Negishi's car is not in his home, nor in his company."

"We are still searching near the site of the fire ceremony." Officer Shiratori said.

"Megure Police Department, please investigate the toll booth between Tokyo and Akaho Village, Gunma Prefecture," Yamazaki said, "If Mr. Negishi is driving by himself..."

"I'll send someone to investigate right away." Officer Sato said and went out.

"By the way, Mr. Abe," Mori said, "can you ask the police to check your car?"

"Is it possible?" Megure Police Department asked.

"I asked someone to help me drive it for maintenance today," Mr. Abe said with a smile, "but if the police still want to investigate, of course I am willing to cooperate."

"I'm going to notify the forensic personnel." Police Officer Shiratori wanted to leave after saying that.

"Wait a minute," Yamazaki asked again, "Megure Police Department, when was that pile of firewood piled up?"

"That's right, the exact time of death can't be confirmed because of the fire," Maori asked with a smile, "That pile of firewood must have been there all the time, right?"

"I'll check it out right away." Officer Shiratori said and went out.

After a while, Officer Shiratori came back to report that the pile of firewood was slowly piled up by the villagers of Chihuo Village last Friday.

"By the way, Mr. Abe, you said that as long as you stare until twelve o'clock at night, you can finish it," Maori asked, "Why are you doing this? If you are worried, shouldn't you be watching for seventy-two hours a day for three days? ?”

"Detective Maori, as long as I watch until twelve o'clock at night, I'm thinking of you." Mr. Abe smiled.

"Well, if Mr. Negishi left home suddenly in the early hours of the morning," Mori said, "For example, if you suddenly received a call from Mr. Abe saying that you were going to commit suicide, then for 500 million yen, I think it is If it's later, Mr. Negishi will make a trip, right?"

Seeing Mr. Abe's face change, the Megure Police Department immediately asked: "Mr. Abe, may I ask, where are you between 0:00 and 6:00 on Saturday, September 7th?"

"Of course I was sleeping at home at that time," Mr. Abe said with a smile, "and it was only me. No one could prove it for me."

"Shiratori," Megure Police Department ordered, "send someone... By the way, it's early in the morning, and I will go to Mr. Abe's house tomorrow to investigate and see if anyone saw Mr. Abe in the early morning."

"I see." Officer Shiratori said.

"What's the problem?" Mr. Abe smiled. "You know, Masaki was still alive on Saturday." Then he looked at Mori and asked, "I think Detective Mori should be able to prove this, right?"

"Yes." Maori said helplessly, "I followed him all day."

"Mr. Police Officer," Mr. Abe asked after yawning, "I can't hold on any longer. The car is here with you. Can I go back first?"

After thinking for a while, the Megure Police Department said: "Okay." Then ordered, "Shiratori, take Mr. Abe back."

"Thank you, then I won't be polite." Mr. Abe bowed and said, "Everyone, I'm taking my leave." After speaking, he left with Police Officer Shiratori.

"Megure Police Department, the person who benefited the most from Mr. Negishi Masaki's death is this guy." Mori said, "I think he did it."

"But Mr. Abe has a clear alibi. When Mr. Negishi was still alive last Saturday, Mr. Abe was traveling in Kyushu, and he didn't have time to commit the crime." Megure Police Department said, "And for two days, others also had Maybe." Then he looked at the clock and said, "It's late, Maori, you and Yamazaki should go back and rest too."...
