At that time, he made a decision to seize the egg of memory. After killing the other party, he went to Neon without stopping and found the castle.
Originally, he disguised himself as the person he had killed and directly revealed his identity and came for the Egg of Memories. However, after some investigation, he found that the old man of the Mamiya family was dead and did not leave any information about the Egg of Memories.
In desperation, he began a period of more than ten years of hiding.
This also explains why the Egg of Memory has not waited for its owner for so many years.
In the end, Suzuki Jirokichi bought the Egg of Memories for 10 billion.
Xiachuan did not bargain with Suzuki Jirokichi. First, the market value of this egg of memories was about this amount; second, being more straightforward would also help him get closer to the Suzuki family.
As soon as he got the money, Natsukawa gave 20% of it to the Metropolitan Police Department, and then he received a certificate of honor for being an outstanding citizen of Tokyo and the friendship of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.
Toshio Odagiri's mouth was crooked with smile, and he followed Inspector Megure and called Natsukawa "Brother".
The other classes were extremely jealous, but there was nothing they could do. They could only look at the search class with extreme envy.
Joel's status has risen. She was once a powerful figure in the Metropolitan Police Department, and now she has the title of a rich wife. She is now called Mrs. Joel at work, which makes her feel embarrassed.
Especially Yumi Miyamoto, the name of Mrs. Joel came from her mouth.
After deducting taxes, gifts and the money for buying the castle, Natsukawa made a net profit of 5 billion yen from taking his two children on a trip.
Because Conan discovered the Egg of Memories with him and paid a lot for it, Natsukawa took some money and sent it to the Maori Detective Agency.
Maori Detective Agency.
Kogoro Mori was in high spirits, as if he had just had dinner with Yoko Okino.
"Brother Xiachuan, you are too polite. Conan just helped a little, just a little. It's all thanks to you that we can solve the secret of the castle. I didn't expect you to be so polite. We are all neighbors. If you are so polite, I won't be polite anymore!"
On the table in front of the sofa was a metal suitcase.
The suitcase was opened, revealing neatly stacked Fukuzawa Yukichi banknotes in a total of one hundred stacks, with one hundred notes in each stack, which translates to 100 million yen.
Natsukawa nodded with a smile. One of the key points to having a good relationship with Kogoro Mori is to give him money.
Of course, this money cannot be given for no reason.
Kogoro Mori may seem unreliable, but he has a bottom line. If he gives money to someone for no reason, the other party will definitely not accept it.
The reason Xiachuan used this time was that Conan helped him solve the case.
"Please, uncle, can you put your tongue back into your mouth?" Conan said with dead eyes.
Money is something outside of our body. We cannot bring it with us when we are born and we cannot take it with us when we die. I don’t know why Uncle Maori values it so much.
A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man. Maori Kogoro did not know Conan's thoughts. He wanted to punch Conan, but when he thought about the value that the other party had just created for him, his anger immediately disappeared, and he gently stroked Conan's head:
"I'll accept this money. It just so happens that the living allowance that Ms. Wen Dai gave me is about to be renewed."
Every once in a while, Kudo Yukiko would transfer money to Mouri Kogoro's card as living expenses for her beloved son. After all, following Mouri Kogoro around every day, the occasional travel expenses were quite high.
"Dad!" Xiaolan looked at her father helplessly. What a rude father, he really brought shame to her, Mao Lilan.
Kogoro Mori wanted to say something righteously, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
dong dong dong-
After the knock on the door, before Xiaolan could go forward to open it, the door of the detective agency was easily pushed open, and a black chicken poked out half of its head.
"I didn't disturb you, did I, Kudo?" Hattori Kurokuni referred to Kudo as the first person he mentioned, and didn't take Conan's last reminder to keep a secret seriously at all.
In his eyes, after so much time had passed, the fact that Conan was Kudo Shinichi would have been discovered long ago. After all, Kudo's ability to conceal his identity was really poor.
Conan's hair stood on end and he was sweating profusely. He ran to the door at lightning speed, turned on his leg-strengthening shoes, and kicked Hattori Heiji out.
"I have a few words to say to Hattori-san." After saying that, Conan closed the door with a "click".
The people in the room looked at each other. Xiaolan looked confused and looked around the office, trying to find out if Kudo Shinichi was hiding here.
"Hattori, are you crazy? Have you forgotten what I told you last time?"
Conan closed the door, wiped the sweat off his face, and glared at Hattori Heiji angrily.
It would be fine if the other party appeared inexplicably, but what if Xiaolan suspected him by calling him "big name" as soon as he appeared?
"Hey, come on, Xiaolan hasn't revealed your identity yet?"
Hattori Heiji looked curious. Kudo Shinichi's method of hiding his identity was so simple, but he saw through it at a glance. How could Mouri Ran, as Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend, not see through it?
"Isn't Xiaolan your girlfriend? It's unreasonable that she can't see that you are Kudo?"
"You are unreasonable. I'm hiding it well. Don't talk nonsense. Keep your mouth shut, or I'll die with you!" Conan said firmly, "I'm very good at hiding, and don't say anything nonsense. Xiaolan is not my girlfriend yet. We are just childhood sweethearts."
At the end of his speech, his voice became smaller and smaller.
If it weren't for Gin, I should have confessed by now, right?
Hattori Heiji nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly remembered something, patted the dog's head and said, "I have a case on hand, it seems quite interesting, do you want to play with it?"
"Case, what case?" Conan put aside his bad mood, sorted himself out and looked at Hattori again.
Hattori shook his head: "This case must be told to Mr. Maori Kogoro. The client seems to have heard some rumors and has great confidence in Maori Kogoro. I happen to know him, so I came to invite him."
"Ok?"
Conan caught the key point in the words, "So you have taken over this case?"
Hattori took over the case but hadn't solved it yet, so he came to Tokyo to find Uncle Mori. It seems that the case is a bit difficult, as even Hattori from Kansai couldn't solve it.
Hattori said he was looking for Uncle Mori, but actually he was not looking for himself. Hattori knew his identity, and he probably said that to save face.
After all, both duels ended with him winning, so Hattori should have realized that he was not as good as him.
Well, the famous detective, the washing machine, likes cases that others cannot solve, and he feels more fulfilled when solving them!
"What are you thinking about? This time I'm really here to look for Maori Kogoro. I heard that Mr. Maori is very good at finding people."
"Uh..." Conan's eyes narrowed, and he had no desire to listen any further.
Looking for someone is not a case. He is not interested in such trivial matters.
"It's not just about finding someone, otherwise Mr. Nagato wouldn't have come to me first. Don't worry, you must be interested in this matter."
Just as Conan was about to ask about the situation, the door of the office was pushed open, and Maori Kogoro looked at the two of them with a dead look on his face, "Are you done talking? If you are, go sit inside, don't block my business here.
If my guests think they have to queue up and leave, I will not forgive you!"
The Mori Agency has received a lot of commissions recently, and is considered to be the best in the Tokyo detective world.
And the projects have changed a bit. It's not all about finding people, dogs, and affairs. Sometimes you do come across cases like murder.
At least Kogoro Mori can now afford two bottles of beer and a big meal a day, and he can fill up his Mercedes Benz at 97 without any regrets.
Arriving in the living room, Hattori nodded towards Natsukawa.
The two of them were familiar with each other, and Hattori was very outgoing, so he started talking to Natsukawa about the Egg of Memories.
"Brother Xia Chuan is really lucky to have found an ownerless treasure. This is simply pie in the sky."
"It's okay, only 10 billion. If we divide it into two parts, we'll only get 5 billion. It's not much money." Xia Chuan replied with a smile.
"......" × 4
Is this what rich people are like?
Hattori curled his lips, skipped the topic, and began to talk about the purpose of coming here.
When Kogoro Mori heard that it was a commission, he immediately restrained his expression and listened carefully to Hattori Heiji's story.
It turns out that the client this time is Nagato Michizo, the chairman of the Nagato Group.
The Nagato Group is also one of the top chaebols in Japan, and belongs to the same base line as the Tozawa Group of Suzuki Ayako's fiancé Tozawa Yuzo.
Recently, the Suzuki Group has been having a headache because of a series of events. They also publicly stated that they are of the same blood and family with the Suzuki Group and their relationship seems to be very good.
The reason why we found Kogoro Mori this time was because of the recommendation of the Suzuki family.
Nagato Michizo had two requests.
1. Help him find his dream lover from his youth.
Second, recently, Nagato Michizo would hear some strange noises every night when he was sleeping, such as running and collisions. But as long as he got up to check, the noises would disappear. This abnormality had lasted for four or five days, causing him to become somewhat mentally weak.
"Dream lover?" Kogoro Mouri was a little unhappy. The famous detective who solved dozens of murders was actually entrusted with a case of finding someone.
He has rejected at least ten cases of this kind recently. Is the disappearance rate of Tokyo residents so high? Does the Metropolitan Police Department not take any action?
"Yes, but it's mainly for the second commission. This matter has troubled Mr. Nagato for several days. For this reason, he even asked my father to help arrange the security forces."
"How could such a large conglomerate like the Nagato Group be broken into?" Kogoro Mori thought it was a thief breaking into the house.
"How is that possible? Hattori-san said it's been several days. If it was a burglary, how could he have come for so many days in a row? The security force of the Nagato family is definitely not there for free. If it was an outsider, they would have been discovered long ago." Conan complained about Kogoro Mouri's reasoning, saying it was still unreliable and he hadn't made any progress at all.
Xia Chuan nodded and said, "This should be an internal crime. Although I don't know the reason, I would like to ask if President Nagato has any children.
Do you think that Chairman Nagato's children are using this method to influence Chairman Nagato's mental state, so that they can take over the Nagato Group after Chairman Nagato becomes seriously ill?"
For such a big chaebol, there must be a lot of intrigue. Recently, Xiachuan has been watching TV series with Youer every day, and there are many such plots in them.
Although it is ugly and melodramatic, it is worth the sacrifice to dissuade Mrs. Joel from cooking.
"I have the same suspicion. We need to go to the scene to see the details. Their family has many children, a son, two daughters, and an adopted son. So it is possible.
How about bringing Brother Xia Chuan along? I think Brother Xia Chuan has strong reasoning skills and might be able to help."
From Hattori's perspective, Natsukawa is also quite clever, and when everyone adds fuel to the fire, right?
"Yes!" Kogoro Mori echoed from the side.
Xia Chuan nodded and agreed, thinking it would be good to join in the fun.
At Hattori's enthusiastic invitation, the Mori family and Natsukawa arrived at the Nagato family's villa.
Led by the butler Musashi Nosuke, several people entered the villa.
The villa is magnificent and huge, definitely larger than the Blue Castle. It has three floors and a large garden outside.
The group passed by and had a glimpse of the ultimate luxury of the rich man's house.
Conan started to get serious before he even entered the villa, looking left and right for some special places.
"By the way, there are a lot of guards here."
"Sister Xiaolan, be careful, there is a pothole ahead." Conan reminded her, and then he accidentally stepped on empty air and fell into the pothole.
Xia Chuan shook his head speechlessly. He couldn't even control himself, yet he still blamed others.
After being pulled up by Xiaolan, the butler Musashi explained apologetically: "Sorry, I was planning to plant some trees by the pond recently, but I was delayed by things in the past few days, so I stopped halfway."
"So strange." Xia Chuan sniffed. The smell here was a bit strange, with a hint of rot in the air.
"What's wrong, Natsukawa-kun?" Hattori asked.
"It's okay. It just smells a bit rancid. It must be the smell from the pool."
The pool next to it was turbid and dark green inside, which was somewhat out of place with the magnificent villa.
"Oh, that should be the pool. The back of the pool also needs to be renovated. My wife used to raise fish here, but after she passed away, no one took care of the pool. Over time, all the fish died. It's normal for there to be a little smell."
Natsukawa stopped talking and followed Musashi into the hall.
As soon as the group entered the lobby, they ran into Hattori Heizo, the director of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.
Hattori Heizo was arranging security forces. When he saw the few people, he did not come forward to say hello. He just nodded slightly and continued to work.
"Let's go up first. The master is waiting for everyone in the bedroom on the third floor."
Arriving at the third floor, they finally met the client this time, Nagato Michizo.
Nagato Michizo and Suzuki Shiro are somewhat similar, both of them have big bellies, and they have a kind of affinity in appearance, which may be one of the reasons why they were able to grow their business.
Nagato Michizo was lying on the bed, his face was a little pale. He must not have slept well in the past few days, as he had dark circles under his eyes.
Next to him, there was a young woman in a business suit talking to him.
Hattori Heiji briefly introduced the situation to the few people.
Nagato Michizo seemed very enthusiastic. He started by boasting about Kogoro Mori's ability to solve cases like a genius, and he was highly respected by Shiro Suzuki.
After the polite words, Hinata Yuki, who was Nagato Michizo's secretary, began to tell the story of his first love.
Nagato Michizo's first love was his elementary school deskmate. She was born in Kanagawa Prefecture. She got married at the age of 29 after graduating from high school. They had a daughter after marriage. Five years after the birth of the daughter, her family mysteriously disappeared.
"Isn't this first love a little too first?" Conan whispered.
Dating in elementary school, is this a consortium? This is also a relatively explosive existence in early love.
