After hanging up the phone, Secretary Sawaguchi said to Maori: "Mr. Maori, the president is welcoming you at the banquet venue on the 75th floor. Please follow me, the sightseeing elevator is here." He wanted to lead the way, but he stopped Hitting Maori's body, he quickly apologized.

Yuan Jiaming said with a smile: "As expected of a pig, so we always bump into each other."

Mao Li smiled and said, "It seems that you often do this kind of thing."

Secretary Sawaguchi stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, then led the way and led everyone into the sightseeing elevator.

Looking at the glass wall, Mao Li's face changed drastically, but he was too embarrassed to go down, so he had to stick to the innermost part.

Yuan Jiaming laughed and said, "It turns out that Mr. Mao Li has a fear of heights. The rumor is true."

"It's, it's okay." Mao Li tried not to look at his feet.

Secretary Sawaguchi said quickly: "Ah, I'm so sorry, I thought..."

Lan smiled and said, "It's okay, the scenery here is very good, thank you for your arrangement."

Ayumi smiled and said, "Yeah, it's really beautiful."

Mitsuhiko smiled and said, "The scenery is amazing."

Yuan Tai said with a smile: "It seems to be approaching the kingdom of heaven step by step."

Yuanzi shouted: "Go, what kind of heaven is it? Tongyan has no taboo."

At this time, the elevator stopped, the door opened, and Mao Li hurriedly backed out, turned around and saw a beautiful woman in her thirties, "Are you Tokiwa?"

"It's me, Maori-senpai, welcome." Tokiwa Mio smiled, "This place is preparing for the opening banquet, so it's a bit messy, please bear with me."

"Ms. Tokiwa, I'm his daughter Lan. Nice to meet you." Lan stood between Maori and Tokiwa Mio and saluted, "My mother asked me to greet you on her behalf."

Tokiwa Mio smiled and said, "Thank you, please also send my regards to Lawyer Concubine."

"Yes, I must bring it." Lan said, and then began to introduce others, "These three are my classmates, Yamazaki, Mei Daizi and Yuanzi."

Tokiwa Mio smiled and said: "Welcome the three of you, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

"You're being polite." Yamazaki, Mei Daizi and Yuanzi said.

Lan said, "This is Dr. Ali."

Mio Tokiwa smiled and said, "I have known you for a long time, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Dr. A Li said: "Yes, I, I am also very happy to meet you."

Afterwards, Lan introduced the five Conan people, and the five Conan people saluted one by one: "Hello."

Tokiwa Mio smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, I'm glad to meet you." Then she ordered Secretary Sawaguchi to take the children to play, and she took Mori to a sofa set next to him to sit down.

The sofa set is next to the window, and you can see the whole picture of Mount Fuji at a glance. There is a tea set on the coffee table, and the kettle is burning on the charcoal stove.

Mio Tokiwa touched the kettle, then made tea and served tea to the six Maori, "Please."

"Thank you." The six Maori drank tea with the beautiful view of Mount Fuji in the distance.

"It's really delicious." Maori put down his teacup and smiled.

"With the scenery, it's amazing." Dr. A Li said with a satisfied smile.

"I made everyone laugh." Tokiwa Mio laughed, and then said, "Mori-senpai, I'm looking for you this time to ask you for a favor."

Mao Li smiled and said, "You can say anything, as long as I can do it."

"That's right," Mio Tokiwa said, "We have a food company under the Tokiwa Consortium. Years ago, someone threatened us with poisoning and extorted 100 million yen."

"What?" Mao Li asked with a frown. "This kind of thing is usually easy to solve as long as the prisoner shows up."

Mio Tokiwa said: "That's what we and the police thought at the beginning, but the man suddenly disappeared, and the police couldn't find him, and the money didn't seem to have been moved. The police thought he wanted to hide until the statute of limitations expired. use the money.

"

"It's not impossible," Maori said.

Tokiwa Mio said: "But just a few days ago, a manager who experienced the incident of that year reported to me that he saw a suspected criminal on TV."

Mao Li asked: "So, you want me to investigate this matter?"

"Actually, this person is already dead. What the manager saw was the news about the identification of the body." Tokiwa Mio picked up the information on the table and handed it to Mao Li.

"Already dead?" Mori opened the file and looked, "Aoiya Onsen Hotel, Minakami Town, Tone County, Gunma Prefecture, this is a good job."

Tokiwa Mio smiled and said, "So you agree, senior? That's really great."

"Don't worry, as long as the money is still there, I will definitely help you get it back." Mao Li said with a smile, "It's not too late, I'll go there now."

"Then there will be Senpai Lao." Mio Tokiwa smiled. ...

Maoli and his party left the Tokiwa Building, Yuanzi proposed to Lan to go skiing and soak in hot springs, Yuantai and the three immediately agreed, and as a result, a bunch of companions were added. ...

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

After everyone gathered, go to Mihua Square and take the Mihua Underground Loop Line to Nihonbashi Shiraki Building Station, then walk to Tokyo Station, take the Tohoku·Joetsu Shinkansen tram, get off at Jomo Kogen Station, and then take the bus to Minakami Onsen Township.

After getting off the bus, everyone found that there was still a long way to go to the Aoi House Hot Spring Hotel, and the ground was frozen and it was not easy to walk, so Dr. Ari, Haibara, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi found a hot spring hotel After staying at the hotel, Mori, Lan, Yamazaki, Mei Daiko, Sonoko, and Conan, who was curious and wanted to see, walked to the Aoi House Hot Spring Hotel. ...

Walking on the road, Maori kicked a big rock, and then seeing a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lying on the ground, Lan wanted to help it up.

"No, no, help that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva up, and you will all be cursed." A utility vehicle with seven people galloped up and stopped beside the crowd, "Ah! You are the famous detective Mori Kogoro!"

"It's me." Molly said proudly.

Conan looked at the person with his head sticking out, and suddenly raised his triangular eyes. It was the rookie mountain village police officer.

Police officer Yamamura smiled excitedly: "I am Yamamura, a criminal police officer from Gunma County. I am so happy to meet you, great."

"What do you mean?" Molly blinked.

The mountain village police officer smiled and said, "For a busy person like you, you must be here for an incident."

"Of course." Molly said.

The mountain village police officer smiled and said, "You must go to the Aoi House to investigate the unidentified dead man in the red coat."

Maori asked, "You wouldn't do the same, would you?"

"That's right, as expected of a Maori detective, I figured it out right away." Police officer Yamamura said with a smile, "I went to the Aoi House Hotel this time to deal with this case. I am so lucky to have met you."

"Ah?" Maori felt a toothache, is this guy really a detective?

Mei Daizi asked, "Officer, what is the curse you mentioned just now?"

"Oh, this forest is called the Forest of the Head God." The mountain village police officer said, "The so-called Head God is a plague god that can cause headaches. Fascinated by the head god, there is no way to get out of this forest, so this place has always been a holy place for suicide."

"Zi, the Holy Land of Suicide!" Lan and Yuanzi's expressions changed.

"And beyond here is the famous Mount Guchuan, known as the Devil's Mountain, the Cannibal Mountain, and the Death Mountain." The village police officer said, "So in order to enhance the effect of suppressing evil spirits, the locals put the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the ground. It is the one you want to lift up, it is said that as long as you lift him up, evil spirits will be attracted."

Lan and Yuanzi screamed, opened the car door and got in, Mao Li said with little confidence: "Really, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Uncle, let's get in the car too, or we don't know when it will be." Yamazaki said with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle, it gets dark early in the mountains." Mei Daizi smiled.

Maori looked at the darkened sky and the deep woods, "Well, let's go by car."...
