People Are in Rice Flowers, the Male God of Tea Art at the Beginning

That means...

He is lying!

Conan's eyes widened, as if he had grasped a certain key point, and his little head began to run fast.

"But, maybe I remembered it wrong."

"By the way, it's room 2701!"

"Hahaha... that's how people are when they're old, their memory is not very good."

Aso smiled awkwardly, trying to fool the past.

"Don't make it up, you haven't booked any room at all!"

Tono Makoto said lightly.

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

"The privacy of guests in a five-star hotel is very confidential."

"Except for the police investigation, it is impossible for others to know. How do you know that I have not booked a room?"

Aso blushed and defended loudly.

"Humph!"

Makoto Higashino grinned, "Because... I bought that hotel!".

Chapter 18

At this moment, the atmosphere is extraordinarily quiet!

Bought that hotel!

In order to solve a kidnapping case, in order to investigate one of the suspicious points, he went to buy a five-star hotel?

Not to mention that the Maori father and daughter were stupid, even President Gu, who was worth a fortune, was too shocked to speak.

This is no longer the word rich, it can be simply described.

It is simply inhuman, and the trench breaks the sky!

"No, no?"

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, and the embarrassed expression on his face was beyond description.

Who in the world can do such an outrageous thing?

Wait!

Maybe there is such a person!

Conan inexplicably thought of a guy named Suzuki.

"Then, that doesn't prove anything?"

Aso tried his best to explain.

However, the panicked expression and the dense beads of sweat on his forehead have already revealed everything!

"Prove you are lying!"

"This kidnapping case, not two, should be three."

"The first kidnapping case was an act proposed by Gu Jingzi, who wanted President Gu to stop work and play with her."

"However, this idea should also be hinted to her by you!"

Makoto Higashino sneered and continued his reasoning.

"And the second kidnapping case was the kidnapper caught by Uncle Maori."

"But, don't you think it's all too coincidental?"

"How does a stranger know that this little girl is the daughter of President Gu's family? How could she just meet her and go out alone? How dare she extort 10 billion yen?"

Mouri Kogoro opened his mouth and seemed to think of something.

Conan, on the other hand, was stunned, suddenly pointed his finger at the housekeeper Aso, and shouted loudly: "It's an inner ghost!"

"Only Mr. Aso, who planned the first act of kidnapping, would know when Gu Jingzi was, where he was going, and who was around!"

"In other words, only Mr. Aso, the inner ghost, can create the kidnapper of the second kidnapping case, and can make him commit the crime so smoothly and successfully!"

As soon as these words came out, even Maori Lan, and even Maori Kogoro, had already understood.

As for President Gu, he quickly picked up his daughter and took a few steps back.

There was vigilance and disappointment in his eyes, which became very complicated.

"Yes, for the reason of acting kidnapping, create an environment of real kidnapping."

Makoto Higashino continued to explain.

"Then what good is he, and what is it for?"

"Even if the kidnapping is successful, 10 billion yen is still the kidnapper's!",

Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

"Humph, how tired are you?"

"In my country, there is an old idiom called - blaming oneself for merit!"

"I think that's what Aso's plan is, isn't it?"

Makoto Higashino showed his phone.

On the screen, in bold uppercase letters, four Chinese characters were displayed—“Dai Gui and Li Gong”.

"What does it mean to be guilty and meritorious?"

Xiaolan tilted her head and asked suspiciously.

Apparently a black belt in karate, limiting her cultural grades.

"It means that a person makes a big mistake, but wants to atone for his sins by making credit."

"I think what Higashino means is that Mr. Aso's plan is to ask the president of the unit to ask him to negotiate with the kidnappers with a ransom of 10 billion yen to make up for the wrongs committed."

Conan's eyes were complicated and his tone was heavy.

I don't know if I am sighing for Aso's conspiracy or regretting my own mistakes.

"But what if I don't agree?"

President Gu asked.

He was still reluctant to believe this fact.

After all, the old housekeeper has served them for many years, and his feelings are quite deep.

"Even if he doesn't agree, even if the plan fails, what will he lose?"

"Punishment for preparing for a week-long trip to Australia?"

"Or the penalty for deducting three months' wages?"

Makoto Higashino sneered, "But once it succeeds, it will be worth 10 billion yen!"

"me……"

thump!

The housekeeper Aso knelt on his knees in a standard confession, and wept bitterly, talking about the reason, and his reason.

One night, he peeked at a small website and accidentally clicked on an ad.

Then, he became addicted to gambling, and as a result, the more he lost, the more debt he owed, and then he came up with the idea of ​​kidnapping for blackmail.

Soon, Officers Megumi and Officer Takagi, who had just returned to the police station and were about to go home from get off work, drove the police car again, worked overtime, and took away the old housekeeper Aso.

"500 million yen?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Dongye, you are really my lucky star!"

Back home, Mouri Kogoro patted Makoto Higashino on the shoulder and laughed.

As expected of an entrepreneur, he was generous in his shot, and he was paid 500 million in one breath, which is more than what he usually earns in a year.

"It's nothing, it's all thanks to my uncle."

"Thanks to my uncle's bravery, the gangster was subdued in three or two times!"

Makoto Higashino flattered, and it was natural and reasonable.

In one sentence, the key to solving the case was transferred from finding the criminal to catching the criminal.

All the credit was given to Maori Kogoro to please this prospective father-in-law.

Even the housekeeper Aso came to investigate Kogoro Mouri because the detective was stupid enough.

Otherwise, how could such a serious kidnapping case get Kogoro Mouri in turn?

At that time, Makoto Higashino didn't say it, he just wanted to save face for his father-in-law.

Compared to any famous detective, he just wants to be an ordinary scumbag!

"Uncle's only credit is to receive this case!"

"It is estimated that the housekeeper has investigated in advance and knew that his uncle's reasoning ability is very poor, so he deliberately came to you."

Conan pouted with disdain on his face.

"Little devil, what are you talking about?"

Mouri Kogoro slapped his fist in annoyance, letting him know who is the adult.

"Conan, you're here again!"

"Can't children eat well?"
