Conan's villains

"Hello, it's me." Feiying's rational voice came from the phone.

"I know it's you, Lawyer Fei, I didn't expect you to call me." Lu Ming changed to a comfortable position, crossed his legs, took a sip of cold drink, and said,"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to borrow some money from you."After a while of silence, Hibiki finally spoke.

"Borrow money? How much?"

"8 million"

"puff……"Juice spurted out of Lu Ming's mouth:"Ahem...how much do you want to borrow?"

"Eight million." Fei Yingli repeated it.

After making sure that he had heard it correctly and that it was indeed that number, Lu Ming said unhappily:"Where can I get so much money for you? And what do you want so much money for?"

"It's hard to explain over the phone, so let's find a place to talk. Hmm... how about that coffee shop we met at last time? You probably haven't forgotten which shop I was talking about, right?"

"Of course I won't forget it." Lu Ming took a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth:"It's the coffee shop where a murder happened after we met... um... OK, I'll be there in half an hour."

After hanging up the phone with Fei Yingli, Lu Ming simply tidied up his clothes and drove to the place where he had agreed to meet Fei Yingli.

If it were someone else, Lu Ming might not be willing to go to the appointment in the hot sun, but for Fei Yingli, he always had a complicated feeling. This time she actually wanted to borrow a huge sum of money from him. Lu Ming was really curious whether she had run into any trouble.

A few minutes later, the car arrived at the destination, Lu Ming parked the car and walked into the store.

Because it was too hot outside, the business in the coffee shop was not very good. Lu Ming looked around and soon found Fei Yingli sitting in the corner.

Lu Ming walked straight over and sat down in front of Fei Yingli.

Fei Yingli seemed to be thinking about something, her eyes looking out the window, until there was movement in front of her, she woke up, smiled faintly at Lu Ming, and said:"You are here"

"Yes." Lu Ming nodded, called the waiter to order a cup of iced coffee and asked,"Tell me, why are you asking me to borrow so much money?"

Fei Yingli looked a little embarrassed to speak, and opened her mouth, but still didn't know how to start.

"You didn't borrow money from a loan shark and are now being chased for debt, right ?"Lu Ming asked tentatively."

"Mr. Mao Li?" Lu Ming was stunned:"He borrowed from a loan shark?"

Fei Yingli sighed and finally told the truth:"Xiao Lan called me this morning. Her father accepted a commission and the client paid a commission of 10 million."

"Ten million? That's a lot." Lu Ming smacked his lips and said,"But this is a good thing... Could it be that something else happened later?"

Fei Yingli nodded and said,"Before the case was investigated, Kogoro had already spent three million."

"Three, three million?" Lu Ming was dumbfounded.

"If it was only 3 million, I should be able to raise the money if I think about it." Hibiki sighed,"But when Kogoro found that he had no way to investigate the matter, he spent another 5 million on horse racing in order to get the 3 million back."

"Five, five million."

Lu Ming opened his mouth wide. To spend eight million yen so quickly in this way, it was not an ordinary person who could do it.

"Logically speaking, with the current relationship between Kogoro and I, there is no need to worry about anything, but after all, Xiaolan is still my daughter. If not for Kogoro, then for Xiaolan, I should also come forward in this matter."Hiki Eri said:"But there are only two ways to solve the problem now. The first is to collect the 8 million yen."

"I don't have that much money." Seeing Fei Yingli staring at him, Lu Ming quickly shook his head and said

"Then the only option is to take the second approach, which is to investigate the matter entrusted to Kogoro."

Lu Ming nodded. This was the only way to go now, but he was still curious and asked,"Then why did you call me out? Do you want to……"

Lu Ming had a vague guess of the reason.

Fei Yingli looked at Lu Ming with a smile:"Yes, I hope you can help me with this matter."

Lu Ming looked as if he had expected it:"It's not impossible for me to help you, but you have to at least give me a reason, and the reward afterwards should also be discussed in advance."

Fei Yingli looked at Lu Ming with a smile:"Given the relationship between the two of us, do we need to discuss the reward for a small favor? Do you have the heart to let a woman like me go through the trouble of investigating things alone?"

That particularly pitiful expression and tone, as if Lu Ming was a heartless and ungrateful person if he didn't agree.

"Mission trigger: Assist Hibiki Eri to successfully complete the commission, Mission reward: 100 points, and gain a great deal of favor from Hibiki Eri."

Lu Ming sighed. He had originally intended to help Hibiki Eri, and now that the mission was triggered, he had to help even more.

"When do we set off?" Lu Ming asked her
