"What?" Xiaolan wanted to say something angrily, but was interrupted by a heavy knock on the door.
A noble lady stood at the door with a dissatisfied look on her face: "I say, how long do you want me to ring the bell outside? Is this how you treat guests in your detective agency?"
Xiaolan hurried over, welcomed her in, asked her to sit down, and brought her a cup of coffee.
The lady took off her glasses and sat on the sofa gracefully. "My name is Tsujimura Kimie, my husband is a diplomat, and I came here today hoping that you can check out my son's girlfriend. Here are her information and resume."
Chu Ming, Conan and Xiaolan subconsciously gathered around and took a look: "Katsuragi Anzi, 24 years old, graduated with first place in both Mitsuha Junior High School and Mitsuha Senior High School, currently studying at the University of Tokyo Medical School and is about to graduate. Isn't that great? What are you dissatisfied with him for?"
"No, it's just—"
Hattori, who had taken over Maori Kogoro's old seat, interrupted: "It's just because she's too perfect that I don't like her. Isn't that how people are? Suspicious and jealous. When they see someone who's too perfect, they can't help but find fault, right, ma'am~"
"Just like why you came to see Kudo Shinichi, is it because of this?" Chu Ming couldn't help but argue with him when he saw him posing and acting cool.
Hattori retorted loudly: "How is it possible? Why would I be jealous of that guy!"
Tsujimura Kimie was a little displeased: "Who is this guy?"
Maori Kogoro quickly tried to smooth things over: "This is my daughter's friend, don't worry about his wife, let's continue talking."
Tsujimura Kimie no longer had the desire to continue talking. She stood up and said, "You can discuss the details with my husband when you get to my house. He is a diplomat. I don't know how many eyes are staring at him. If people knew that he came to a place like this—"
"There will be a scandal, right? Well, I'll go with you!" Hattori Heiji jumped up with a somersault.
Kogoro Mouri's fist hardened. Are you trying to steal my business?
Hattori Heiji continued, "It's a bit strange for a detective like you to visit. Why don't we go together? People will think it's a father and son visiting, and it won't arouse suspicion."
Chu Ming argued again: "Uncle will be suspected if he goes with you, after all, you are so dark, but I am different, I am as handsome as uncle, we look like father and son~"
Kogoro Maori looked at Hattori Heiji's skin, then looked at Chu Ming's handsome face, and the scales tipped over.
"Ahem, then Chu Ming should go with me."
Tsujimura Kimie put on sunglasses and said nonchalantly, "It's all right. I'm counting on you. Let's go."
Seeing that he couldn't get into the team, Hattori Heiji turned to Xiaolan and said, "Ms. Mori, why don't we follow them too? Maybe Kudo Shinichi will show up too."
Xiaolan was a little moved. Conan pulled her clothes and said, "Sister Xiaolan, let's go over too~"
"But, Conan, you still have a cold, is that okay?"
Conan shook his head with a cute look on his face: "It's okay, the medicine that big brother gave me just now has cured me, I feel much better~"
Then he quietly turned around and wiped the sweat off his face. No, his condition seemed to be getting worse again. But if he didn't follow him, Chu Ming and him might portray him as a scumbag in front of Xiao Lan - damn it! !
Chu Ming remembered something important when he got in the car. He quietly typed a message to Gin in his pocket.
"Is diplomat Tsujimura Isao related to the organization? - Granburch."
Soon the phone buzzed, and Conan leaned over curiously: "Brother Chu Ming, your phone is ringing, who sent you a message? Your phone doesn't seem to be the same as the last time~"
Chu Ming calmly pushed Conan's head away: "Because I just took over my parents' business, I need a work phone to contact people in the company (wine factory)."
Conan retreated with little interest. He was not feeling well today. Under normal circumstances, he would have continued to ask questions.
Chu Ming thought about it and felt that it was not safe enough. It happened that he had a lot of points recently, so he spent 1.5 points to buy anti-peeping software in the mall. Except for himself, no one who looked at his phone could see the real content, but only some financial fund charts.
It's expensive for a reason. It's simply a weapon to prevent Conan. Who knows when the will of the world will secretly send your phone right under Conan's nose.
"He has some cooperation with the organization. Do you need help looking for him? - Gin."
"Are you looking at the fund——" a bored voice came. Damn, it was Hattori Heiji who had poked his head over without knowing when.
Chu Ming's heart almost jumped out of his chest with fear. Fortunately, he bought anti-spying software in advance, otherwise, if Hattori shouted loudly: What organization is this? Who is Gin? That would basically break the friendly relationship with Conan.
It seems that I haven't trained for a long time, and my vigilance has dropped to this level.
"Why is your heart beating so fast?" Hattori Heiji asked unconsciously.
"You were hiding behind me quietly and suddenly spoke. Why is my heart beating so fast? If it wasn't beating, it would mean I was scared to death by you!" Chu Ming said unhappily.
Hattori Heiji rubbed his head, chuckled, and retreated. The Tsujimura residence was already in sight.
"His wife intends to kill him. She has already sent the detective home to prepare an alibi. I think she is going to do it. Do you need me to save him? - Granburch."
Buzz buzz buzz——Gin’s phone came immediately.
If this resource accidentally infringes upon your rights, please notify us and delete it in time.
Chu Ming glanced at the people in front of him, then stepped back a few steps and answered the phone.
"Hello, this is Fujino Chuming."
"Are you uncomfortable talking on the phone?"
"Yeah, something happened." [--..---....-..-/-..-----.-..--./--...---.-...-.] - There is a detective
Chu Ming used his voice to cover up the sound of himself tapping the Morse code.
"Then listen to me. I just checked. Twenty years ago, Tsujimura Isao framed his then superior Yamashiro Kenji for dereliction of duty and sent him to prison. Fifteen years ago, the organization found him and asked him to help kill Yamashiro Kenji in prison in exchange for his life for the organization. He has been bullying for so many years. Recently, he even threatened the organization to help kill his son's current girlfriend. Humph, do you think the organization is something he can summon and dismiss at will? The organization no longer needs him. Now he will be a burden to the organization. I have asked the boss to let him die quickly and not expose the existence of the organization."
"Okay. Don't worry." - After all, there are three Death Summoners here!
Chapter 36 Sure enough, the winery's medicine must be cured with wine
As soon as I entered the gate, the housekeeper came to greet me: "Madam, you are back."
"Where is the master?" Tsujimura Kimie stopped and asked.
"I think the master is in his study. He hasn't come out yet. Who are these guests?"
"He is an old friend of mine, Mr. Mori and his family." Tsujimura Kimie glanced behind him.
"Ah, Mom, you're back?"
A soft and pleasant voice sounded, and Chu Ming clearly saw that Tsujimura Gongjiang was stunned for a second. Before he could react, Maori Kogoro suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "Ah, it's in the photo--"
Hattori Heiji behind him skillfully locked his throat and covered his mouth, reacting quickly.
Tsujimura Kimie pursed his lips, trying to control his emotions: "Why are you here!"
Takayoshi Tsujimura put his arm around Katsuragi Anzi's shoulders from behind and said, "I asked her to come. I saw that dad was reluctant to meet Anzi, so I finally got him to relent and let Anzi come."
"Are these my mother's guests?" asked Katsuragi Anko with a smile.
Tsujimura Kimie suddenly exploded, digging her nails into her palms tightly: "It has nothing to do with you, right? I don't think you have the status to call me mommy now!"
She exhaled, ignoring the sad Katsuragi Anzi beside her, and said to Chu Ming and his group, "Let's go upstairs first."
Just as everyone stepped onto the stairs, an old man came down from the floor.
Chu Ming looked in surprise at the old man in front of him who looked similar to Director Ochiai. What happened? Is this Director Ochiai’s brother?
While the old man was talking to Tsujimura Kimie, Chu Ming leaned down slightly and approached Conan: "Hey, Conan, have you noticed that this old man looks a lot like Director Ochiai?"
Conan's face was covered in sweat, and it looked like the transformation was only 30% complete: "How could that be? It's obviously completely different."
Chu Ming raised his head again and took a closer look. It really looked like him. And he was also interested in art like Director Ochiai. Looking at the picture of a big fish in the old man's hand, Chu Ming muttered to himself.
Tsujimura Kimie knocked on the door gently, but no one responded, so she took out the key and opened the door directly.
As soon as the door opened, a loud voice of a drama was heard. Behind a pile of books, Tsujimura Isao seemed to be sleeping.
Chu Ming glanced inside the house and found no magnetic field on the ground. It seemed that Tsujimura Isao was not dead yet.
"Really, I fell asleep with the music so loud. Husband, wake up, old..." Tsujimura Kimie complained as he walked along the river bank and came to the side of Tsujimura Isao.
Hattori and Conan both walked to the side of the speakers to turn down the volume, when they suddenly noticed that Chu Ming, who had been following them, suddenly ran up, lightly jumped up on the table, flipped over the large desk, and directly grabbed Tsujimura Kimie's hand.
Chu Ming was ready to expose Tsujimura Kimie's tricks directly, so that with so many detectives present, Tsujimura Kimie would not be seen through by the detectives and would kneel down, sigh and lament, and reveal some news about the organization.
"What are you doing! Xiaolan, call the police and an ambulance!" As Chu Ming's voice rang out, Tsujimura Isao's body fell heavily to the ground.
Conan and Hattori were shocked and ran forward. Hattori stretched out his hand to check the pulse and said, "No, he's dead."
Conan ran to Chu Ming and said, "Brother Chu Ming, what's going on?"
Chu Ming looked angry, but in his heart he was screaming like a groundhog, "1 points! Oh my God! This diplomat gave me 1 points!
"I just saw something reflective on her hand, and then she stabbed the reflective object into the deceased's neck!"
Conan and Hattori quickly searched the ground, and sure enough, they saw a needle shining with silver light not far away, with a faint blue halo on the tip of the needle.
Conan was about to pick it up, but bumped into Hattori who was also groping over.
Hattori picked up Conan and threw him into Xiaolan's arms: "Why is this brat here? How can you let a child see these!"
Conan nestled in Xiaolan's arms, his hands tightly grasping Xiaolan's clothes. He seemed speechless, but in fact, his heart was filled with joy.
Kimie Tsujimura fell to the ground. She had made so many arrangements and even asked a detective to provide an alibi for her, but all of them were ruined by this kid who followed the detective!
Hattori Heiji pulled his hat back with some frustration. The murderer was caught in the act, and there was none of the fun he had in previous cases when he had to battle wits and courage with the criminal.
Just as the bored Hattori Heiji was squatting in front of Tsujimura Kimie trying to ask her motives, Inspector Megure arrived and heard her voice before he saw her in person.
"Brother Maori, I heard that you have caught the murderer? Hey, who is this?"
Inspector Megure saw a stranger mixed in with a group of familiar faces from the crime scene.
Maori Kogoro introduced casually: "His name is Hattori Heiji, he is——"
Officer Megure became excited: "Oh - it's you, you must be the son of the current chief of the Osaka Police Department, Hattori Heizo, who is currently attending high school!"
Chu Ming looked up with understanding. Isn't that the son of the colleague of the boss of the boss of the boss of the boss of Inspector Megure? No wonder Inspector Megure was so excited.
Inspector Megure pulled Maori Kogoro aside and said, "Hey, Maori brother, did you solve this case or did that Hattori solve it?"
Maori Kogoro was a little confused: "Neither, it was Chu Ming, he saw the murderer committing the crime..."
Officer Megure breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "That's good. Chu Ming is also from Kanto. Humph, Hattori Heiji is just like him. In this match between Tokyo and Osaka, Tokyo still wins."
Chu Ming moved his ears, and his sensitive hearing allowed him to hear clearly the loud conspiracy between Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori.
Did anyone know about the duel you held without permission?
Although the case has been solved, it was the murder of a diplomat after all, and the scene needed to be carefully investigated and archived, so no one could leave for the time being. While recording the testimony, Detective Maori asked an inadvertent question.
"Mrs. Tsujimura, why did you kill your husband?"
Tsujimura Kimie lowered her head, tears streaming silently. She knew she couldn't frame her father-in-law, and thought that since she was going to jail, she had to expose their crimes. So she hesitated for a while, and finally spoke.
"I hate him. Actually, Anzi is my daughter with my ex-husband. Twenty years ago, my ex-husband Yamashiro Kenji was framed by Tsujimura Isao and imprisoned. Fifteen years ago, he died in prison for unknown reasons. If he hadn't seen Takayama and Anzi dating and got furious, and hadn't let it slip that he was going to find those black-clad killers to kill Anzi, I would never have known that it was him who hired someone to kill Yamashiro..."
Black-clad killer? Black-clad? ! ! Conan's eyes widened. Just as he was about to ask, a sharp pain suddenly swept through his body. He covered his chest and cried out in pain.
