Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

"It seems a bit difficult..." Kogoro Mori frowned.

According to historical records, Nagato Michizo's first love had disappeared for twenty years. It was extremely difficult to find someone after such a long period of time.

Even neighbors may have forgotten about this person.

"If you can find her, I'll give you 10 million yen as a thank you.

Of course, I also know that this matter is a bit difficult to handle. Even if Detective Maori can't find it, I will give a certain amount of compensation, please rest assured about this."

President Nagato said with a smile, and then Kogoro Mori also smiled.

Whether he succeeds or not, he will get money, and the sleeping detective will no longer be sleepy.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help."

Maori Kogoro thought seriously, "Since she appeared in Kanagawa, maybe she has relatives there. I will go investigate the situation and see if I can get some information indirectly."

"Okay." Nagato nodded, then said, "In that case, let's go and have a look tomorrow. You can stay home and eat today. Today happens to be my birthday. Since you are here, don't leave too early. I will introduce my children to you later."

Chapter 259: An accomplice, a pawn, and a dead person! (7k)

Xia Chuan had no impression of this case, and he still suspected that the other party's mental weakness was caused by his children. Now that he heard that he could meet the other party's children, his eyes immediately lit up.

He also wanted to try if he could find the murderer by choosing more.

He is a spy after all, so his observation ability should be no worse than Conan's. Of course, it would be a different story if Conan had the extra bonus of scientific will.

At this time, the door was pushed open and two women walked in.

One has cool big waves, the other has soft long straight black hair, both look good.

Although Nagato Michizo was a fat man, his wife obviously had good genes, and both of his daughters were very pretty.

The big waves make her look a little old, and there are some crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

Nagato Dosan explained with a smile.

Big Wave is his eldest daughter, named Nagato Nobuko, who is 39 years old and still single. There is nothing wrong with her except that she has a slightly aggressive personality.

As soon as he came in, he started shouting that Secretary Hinata Yuki was a vixen, and before he could finish his sentence, he gave the other person a big fight.

Xia Chuan nodded, and then ruled out the possibility that the other party was the murderer. This guy was at most dead. People like this were the ones who died the fastest in Conan.

The girl with long black hair is the second daughter, named Nagato Yasue, 32 years old, with a gentle personality and soft expression. She wears an off-shoulder dress. Except that she can't afford A, she is pretty good in other aspects.

The two chatted about some meaningless things, mostly about trivial matters in life. Because Nagato Michisan mentioned the fact that his eldest daughter was single again and again, the two left after not staying for long.

Hinata Yuki, who was given a big beating right after that, seemed to have work to do as well, so she said goodbye and left after the two of them.

“Hinata is my secretary and my son Hideomi’s fiancée.

To be honest, besides being my birthday tonight, I also plan to use this opportunity to announce their marriage. They have known each other for 20 years now, so it’s about time they get married.”

"Uh?"

Natsukawa was a little puzzled. Hinata Yuki looked to be in her early twenties, while Nagato Michizo's eldest daughter was already thirty-nine, and his son was probably not younger either. There must be at least a dozen years' difference between them, right?

Knowing each other for twenty years...

It seems that premature love is a family tradition of the Nagato family.

Conan and Hattori obviously thought of this as well, and they started to look at Nagato Michizo with something strange in their eyes.

Not long after Hinata Yuki left, the door opened again. This time, the person who opened the door did not come in, but just stood quietly at the door. His face was wrapped in bandages, with only his eyes exposed. He was also wearing a knitted hat in the middle of summer and was wearing very thick clothes, which looked quite strange.

"who are you?"

Hattori Heiji looked nervous and immediately thought of Nagato Michizo's commission, thinking that this person might be the one who made the noise at night in the past few days.

"How did this guy get in? Are the guards outside just for show?"

Xia Chuan and others were also surprised by the other party's outfit.

By the way, the second generation of Bandage Monster?

Xia Chuan thought about it and suddenly found a problem.

The other person's clothes seemed a little awkward. How should I put it? It just felt inappropriate.

His shoulders seemed a little high, as if they were padded with something, and the pants he wore were a little too long, even covering his shoes. And his eyes looked so strange... It felt like I had just seen them before.

Wait, are these eyes somehow related to the secretary Hinata Yuki who just left?

"Oh, Heiji, don't make a fuss. This is my son, Nagato Hideomi."

"Uh... sorry."

Hattori knew that he seemed a little rude and apologized quickly.

"Son?" Xia Chuan narrowed his eyes, feeling that there must be something wrong.

Since famous detectives from Kansai and Kanto have gathered here, this case must be correct. If my guess is correct, the case seems to have already begun quietly.

Nagato Michizo shook his head helplessly and said, "Hideomi suffered facial burns in a fire 20 years ago. Although plastic surgery technology in this era should have been able to restore his appearance, for some reason, he just didn't want to."

The thing that the Nagato family lacks the least is money. He was helpless about his eldest son's situation and wanted to solve it with money, but his eldest son disagreed.

"I see, Hideomi just doesn't want to recover. After all, this is the record of rescuing Hinata."

A frivolous male voice sounded from behind Nagato Hideomi, and then he put one hand on the other's shoulder.

"Hideomi, forget it. Why remember such a painful experience? You are the eldest son of the Nagato family. You are the face of the family. What is the point of having no face?"

The man who came was somewhat handsome, looking like a pretty boy, with a feeling of Shiratori Renzaburo, except that Shiratori was more stable, while this man seemed a bit frivolous.

And he didn't seem to consider how hurtful his words were, and he was still smiling to himself.

Sure enough, Nagato Hideomi glared at him angrily, and without even entering the house to greet his father, he pushed away the other's hand on his shoulder, turned around and left.

"Hey! You must listen to my advice. If you really don't want to have plastic surgery, then I should inherit the Nagato family. At least the family's reputation can't be like this, right?"

"..."

Everyone in the room was speechless. Don't you consider the occasion when saying such things?

Nagato Michizo was obviously used to the other party's speaking style and still had that good-natured expression on his face.

"Father-in-law, this is a small gift from me to you. I hope you can get better soon. Such a big family business cannot be left without support. However, if you are really too tired and want to take a break, I can also help you manage the company.

I have been in this position of president of the construction company for long enough, and I feel that I can even take control of the Nagato Group."

"Haha, Guangming, please stop joking. We have guests here."

Nagato Dosan waved his hand, took the gift and put it aside, then asked with a smile: "Instead of thinking about these things, it would be better for Kang Jiang and I to have a child as soon as possible."

"Hmph, I knew it."

Nagato Guangming curled his lips with some disdain. It's not that he doesn't want to have a baby. He has been trying every day. Several years have passed, and his steps are a little unstable. He just can't get it right. What can he say?

“This is Guangming, the husband of the second daughter Kang Jiang.

By the way, Guangming, take a few people around the villa first to understand the situation and see if you can find the person who makes noise every day."

"Hasn't this matter been handed over to Mr. Hattori Heizo? I don't think there's any need to find another detective. Who knows if their detective title is a false propaganda in collusion with the newspaper."

Nagato Mitsuaki clearly had some disdain for detectives.

Kogoro Mori gave the other person a dead look. If this man wasn't the client's son-in-law, he would have punched him.

"Don't underestimate the detective. I am the famous Maori Kogoro. You are not ignorant and have never heard of me, right?"

Kogoro Mori's bragging made the other three a little embarrassed.

It turns out that there really is such a person who brags about his melons when selling them. The key point is that only Kogoro Mouri thinks he is so awesome, while everyone else knows that his melons are actually grown by Conan.

"Mori, Kogoro?"

Nagato Guangming's voice paused and his expression froze instantly.

The abnormality only stayed on his face for less than a second. With his experience as a president, he quickly stabilized his expression, "Since he is a sleeping detective, maybe we can find out something?

However, I think my father-in-law may have hallucinated because he was too busy with the affairs of the consortium. Maybe he will be fine after a few days of rest, so just leave the official duties of the consortium to me for now."

Nagato Mitsuaki talks about the chairman's position every other sentence, and it is obvious that he has been coveting this position for a long time.

Nagato Michizo was also a master of Tai Chi. He smiled and didn't respond to the conversation. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go check out other parts of the villa. I'm tired and need to take a rest—"

Nagato Guangming shrugged helplessly and left the room with a few people.

Xia Chuan thought for a moment, then asked with some uncertainty: "Mr. Guangming, was that person just now really Mr. Nagato Hideomi?"

Natsukawa's question obviously surprised Nagato Guangming, "Mr. Natsukawa, what do you mean by that? Do you think I can't even recognize the brother I grew up with?"

Nagato Mitsuaki spoke in a loud voice, but his heart was beating faster.

Could it be that his and Hinata's plan had been discovered? That was impossible. They hadn't done anything yet, and this person named Natsukawa shouldn't know Hideomi, so why would he ask such a question?

In fact, he had a dream.

His dream is to become the chairman of the Nagato Group.

Although he is an adopted son, a son-in-law, but in Japan, the status of a son-in-law is equivalent to that of a biological son, so there is still a certain possibility.

The only obstacle for him to become the president was not Nagato Hideomi, the eldest son of the Nagato family. As he had said before, Nagato Michizo would never let a disfigured son inherit his family business.

Even if Nagato Michizo himself agrees, other shareholders or senior executives will not agree.

The president is the face of the consortium, and Nagato Hideomi's face is obviously not suitable for the position of president, which requires meeting with others.

The only thing that is hindering him now is that Nagato Michizo seems to be in good mental state. During the last physical examination, the doctor said that he can live for at least ten to twenty years.

As long as the other party is alive, he cannot be the president.

So, he planned to kill his father-in-law!

He hadn't originally planned to do this.

But just yesterday, secretary Hinata Yuki discovered that Hideomi had committed suicide in his room.

For some unknown reason, Hinata Yuki seemed to have developed hatred towards Nagato Michizo and wanted to conspire with him to kill him.

This proposal hit his soft spot at once, and he agreed immediately without thinking too much.

The two's plan was simple.

First, wrap the body in a bed sheet, put it in a hole next to the pool and cover it with soil. Hinata pretends to be Hideomi and creates false news that the other party is still alive.

Then at the birthday party tonight, he pretended to find that Hideomi was not there and went downstairs to look for him. In fact, his real purpose was to go to the pool, dig out the body and throw it into the water.

Then he went back to Hideomi's room below Nagato Michizo's room and made it sound like Hideomi was going to kill him. Hinata Yuki led everyone upstairs to the balcony to check the situation. He then wrapped himself in bandages and pretended to be Hideomi for these people to see.

Then he returned to Hideomi's room.

After everyone else went downstairs to check the situation, he climbed up from the balcony downstairs using a rope to his father-in-law's room and killed him. Then he returned to Hideomi's room and stabbed himself, pretending to be injured.

This villa is very large. The father-in-law's room on the third floor and Hideomi's room downstairs seem to be very close, but in fact it takes a certain amount of time to walk up the stairs. He will also lock the door, and it will probably take three to five minutes for them to open the door.

He was confident that he could complete the murder plan within this time.

Afterwards, he pinned the blame for his father-in-law's death on the already deceased Hideomi, forging a story that the latter had killed his father, and then committed suicide by jumping into a lake out of guilt.

Because Hideomi was buried in the ground by them, the degree of decay of the body in the ground was one eighth of the normal level. Even an autopsy could only confirm that Hideomi died tonight. In this way, the case was perfectly completed.

As the only male left in the Nagato family, he can immediately inherit the position of president and then reach the peak of his life.

The plan is a little complicated, the most important of which is that Hinata Yuki impersonates Hideomi, but now, it seems that someone has discovered the clues.

It would make sense if it was someone from their family, but the problem is that the person who discovered that Hideomi had a problem was actually an outsider.

The unknown brings fear. If a family member discovered the problem, he could still cover it up, but when a stranger discovered the problem, he felt a little timid.

Could it be that this person named Natsukawa actually knows Hideomi?

Xia Chuan had no idea that the other party had thought so much in just a short glance, he just looked at the other party with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.

Could it be the murderer?

Xia Chuan thought so.

Or to be more precise, is there two murderers involved in this upcoming murder case?

There is no doubt that the person who died was Nagato Hideomi, otherwise there would be no need for Hinata Yuki to disguise himself as him.

But why? He didn't understand why Hinata Yuki killed her fiancé and gave up the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family.

And just now when he heard Hinata Yuki talking about Nagato Hideomi, he clearly felt a strong love for him.
