Chapter 481: The Grand Gathering of July Eve

Friday, August 1, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

After the meeting was over, Yamazaki came back to be on duty. There is no one in the office today, and Conan was taken away by the detective team. Lan has club activities.

Yamazaki made a pot of tea and watched TV. Mei Daizi will come over to take over the shift today, and then Yamazaki will go home for dinner, and then go to exchange for Maori. After so many days, this commission has not made any progress, but someone pays wages, and no matter how hot the weather is, we must continue to work. ...

On the morning of Monday, August 4th, Miyamoto's house.

The morning papers carried the news that Jeanne Calment had died in Arles, France. She is the oldest living person on record in the world, living a total of 122 years and 164 days.

"It's really..." Yamazaki didn't know what to say, sad? Happy? I just felt some inexplicable sadness, and finally just sighed and said nothing.

Miko Miyamoto touched Yamazaki's head, and said with a soft smile, "This kind of thing is unthinkable, go to work."

"Yes, Mom." Yamazaki said, and said goodbye to his father Ichiro Miyamoto and left.

After Yamazaki left, Miko Miyamoto looked at the news and asked softly, "Ichiro, do you think people can really live forever?"

"I don't know." Miyamoto Ichiro said.

Miyamoto Miko sighed: "Yes, even the old monsters in the Himalayas are passed down from generation to generation." Then she calmed down and said, "I'm leaving too."

"Yes." Miyamoto Ichiro said. ...

Thursday, August 7, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

The morning paper published a piece of news that the murder in Ijinkan Village in the manga "Kindaichi Boy's Case Book" serialized in the weekly juvenile magazine was suspected to have embezzled Shimada Shoji's novel "The Astrology Murder Case".

Mao Li sighed: "I felt that there was a problem early in the morning."

Conan raised his triangular eyes, this is what I read, okay, when did you peek at my magazine, this is embezzlement. ...

Saturday, August 9, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

Lan originally asked Maori to take her and Conan out today, but because the entrustment did not progress, the client called last night and said that he decided to come to understand the situation in person on this rest day, so the action had to be postponed.

Because it was commissioned by the police, Mao Li chased Lan upstairs after the client called today to confirm whether he was there. Then he found that Conan was still in the detective agency, so he took Conan upstairs and threw him to Lan. .

Not long after, the client came, stopped Yamazaki from making tea, and asked Maori directly: "Detective Maori, what's going on, I'm so anxious." He said and sat on the sofa.

Maori handed over a thick package of photos to the client and told him that his wife was not suspicious at all.

After taking some photos and looking at them, the client asked, "Detective Maori, why do you say that?"

"Judging from these photos, your wife's clothes and appearance are not abnormal," Mao Li said, "Also, your wife has never had to touch up her makeup midway."

The client asked, "Retouch makeup?"

"Actually, you just need to pay attention to the time when your wife's cosmetics are used." Mao Li smiled, "If you suddenly use it quickly, you can doubt it too late."

"Cosmetics?" The client thought for a while, then clapped his hands and laughed,

"That's great." Then he took Maori's hand and praised enthusiastically, "Detective Maori, your experience in police affairs is really rich, and your reputation is well-deserved."

"Where, where." Mao Li smiled triumphantly, "You've said too much, too much." After speaking, he felt that there was something wrong, and then he realized that he jumped and said, "Don't talk nonsense." As he spoke, he stared at Yamazaki, whose lips curled up.

"Ah? Ah," the client said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake." Then he looked at the clock, his face changed, "No, Mr. Maori, my wife is still waiting for me, I Let’s go first, and I’ll send you the fee.” Said he left in a hurry, but came back immediately and stuffed the photo into Mao Li’s hands, “Mr. Mao Li, please help me get rid of these things, they must be cleaned up Ah." Saying that, he saluted, "Please." Then he ran away again before Maori could speak.

At this time, Lan and Conan, who had been paying attention to this place on the third floor, came over, and Lan couldn't help asking.

Mao Li said for a while, and then smiled: "Isn't there a Tanabata party today? I guess he sneaked out under the pretext of going to the bathroom when he was walking with his wife on the street. He is really a henpecked guy."

"Father, since the incident is over," Lan said, "then take us to make a wish, there will be no high seats any later."

"Yes, yes." Maori said, "Then, Yamazaki, I leave this photo to you."

"No problem." Yamazaki smiled.

"Yamazaki, I'll call you when the time comes and tell you where to eat," Lan said with a smile, "you must come here."

"Of course." Yamazaki said with a smile, "That's an agreement."

"Let Mei Daizi come here when she's full." Mao Li said with his hands behind Yamazaki's ear.

"Dad." Lan said dissatisfied.

Maori said: "Okay, okay, let's go." Then he left. ...

At noon, Miyamoto's house.

After Mei Daizi had had breakfast and lunch, Miyamoto Miko asked with a smile while clearing the table: "Mei Daizi, have you decided to make a wish?"

"This," Mei Daizi scratched her head, "I haven't thought about it all night."

"Maybe we'll find out on the way." Yamazaki said with a smile.

"Well," Mei Daizi thought for a while and said, "Let's go then, just take a stroll, I heard that this year's venue is bigger."

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Tosenya Teiji, the venue of Mihua Building is not so big." Yamazaki said with a smile, "And this year is not only the two days of Qixi Festival, there are nine days in total until next Sunday."...

Soon after, the Miyamoto family arrived in front of the original Mihua Building. When they arrived, the place was already full of people. The wreckage of the Mihua Building has been cleaned up, and just in time for the Mid-Yuan, the town sponsored the Mid-Yuan Conference with good spirits. This meeting is from August 9th, Tanabata, to August 15th, the Sunday after Obon Festival, that is, August 17th. The venue also includes the Mihua Building Square and other streets, covering an area of ​​more than ten hectares. Mihua TV has contributed a lot of manpower, which can be said to be very lively.

In the afternoon, Mei Daizi thought of her wish for this year in a cold drink shop and hung it on a bamboo branch.

"I can pass the exam." Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "That's a good wish."

"Hey, hey," Mei Daizi laughed, "Actually, I originally wanted to write about cheating on exams so I wouldn't be caught."

"You." Miyamoto Miko shook her head and smiled, and then said, "Okay, let's go back."...

Around 6:40 p.m., Mei Dai Restaurant.

Due to the Zhongyuan Conference, there were not many people tonight. Yamazaki and Mei Daizi had already been free at this time, and then received a call from Lan asking them to have dinner. ...
