Chapter 564: Toru Amuro works part-time at a pet store
On the way back to Tokyo, Yuya sighed.
Sato Miwako looked at the rearview mirror with some confusion: "Yuya-kun, why don't you look happy that the case is solved?"
Miyano Shiho glanced at him and quietly told him about their original plan to buy a pet.
Miwako Sato suppressed her laughter and said, "I see. What kind of pet are you planning to buy, Yuya-kun?"
Yuya propped up his chin and said, "I originally wanted to see if there were any ferrets, but I didn't see any in Mr. Shirai's pet shop at the time, and I don't know if I can buy any."
"Ferret?" Sato Miwako thought for a moment, "It's a rare pet indeed. I'm afraid it's not easy to buy. I guess you'll have to go to a few more pet stores."
"Is that so?" Youya was a little disappointed. Could it be that he couldn't buy a ferret?
Miwako Sato looked around and asked, "Yuya-kun, should I take you home?"
Yuya checked the time and said, "It's still early. I want to go to a few more stores. Officer Sato, please take us to the nearest pet store."
"No problem." Sato Miwako identified the road, pushed hard with her feet, and the red Mazda whooshed out.
In front of a pet store called Sanshui.
Sato Miwako put Yuya and Miyano Shiho down and said, "Then I will go back to the Metropolitan Police Department first. I still need to write a report on today's case. Yuya-kun, remember to come and take the statement when you have time."
"Okay, thank you Officer Sato!" Youya waved and watched Mazda leave.
He turned to look at the pet gate and confirmed that it was open for business as usual, then said to Miyano Shiho, "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Miyano Shiho nodded, walked up to Yuya, took his arm, and the two walked into the pet shop together.
"Yuya-kun?" The two heard a familiar voice as soon as they entered the door.
Yuya was stunned, and when he turned his sight, he saw a familiar wheat-colored skin: "Mr. Amuro? You... aren't working here? Are you? The agency doesn't care?"
Wearing an apron, Toru Amuro smiled shyly: "There haven't been any commissions these days, so I came out to work part-time."
Yuya said with some sympathy, "Mr. Amuro is still working as hard as ever."
Amuro Toru didn't want to continue this topic, so he smiled awkwardly and asked, "Youya-kun, are you here to buy a pet?"
Yuya nodded, "Yes, I want to see if there are any ferrets here."
"Snow ferret?" Amuro Toru was stunned. "It's not very common. What made you think of buying a snow ferret?"
Yuya touched his nose and said with a smile: "I want to choose an animal that is smart and agile, the kind that can be used as an assistant."
"Assistant? Detective's assistant?" A question mark appeared above Amuro Toru's head.
Yuya nodded and told him that Hakuba Tan and Ayanokouji also had pets.
"I see." Amuro Toru suddenly realized and said with some regret, "It's a pity that there are no ferrets here."
"Is that so?" Youya was not too disappointed, having already prepared himself mentally, "Then I..."
"Wait a minute," Amuro Toru hurriedly called Yuya, "I know a friend who happens to have a pair of ferrets at home. I heard that they gave birth to a few puppies some time ago but haven't found a suitable owner yet."
"If Yuya-kun is interested, I can ask for you?"
Yuya's eyes lit up: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Amuro."
Toru Amuro smiled, said it was okay, then walked aside to make a phone call.
Yuya pulled Miyano Shiho's hand and said, "We are so lucky. We don't have to run around anymore."
Miyano Shiho also smiled and nodded: "That's right." She glanced at Amuro Toru's back and whispered, "But it seems that Mr. Amuro knows all kinds of people..."
Yuya nodded in agreement. Should we say he is indeed a working emperor who works everywhere? His network of contacts is indeed very wide.
After a while, Toru Amuro came back.
He smiled and said, "Yuya-kun, good news. There happens to be one of those little snow ferrets left. When she heard that it was a famous detective, she agreed to it immediately, so we can go there when we have time."
Yuya rubbed his head a little embarrassedly: "Famous detective or something... Then when do we set off?"
Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you in such a hurry?" He smiled and said, "Well, my work for today is not finished yet..." He glanced at the clock on the wall, "It will be over in two hours."
Yuya thought for a moment and said, "Then should we go to a nearby coffee shop and wait for you?"
Amuro Toru nodded: "Okay, I'll come find you guys as soon as I get off work."
···
Time passed quickly and Toru Amuro came to the coffee shop to find Yuya and Miyano Shiho.
Sitting in Toru Amuro's white Mazda, the three of them came to a villa in the mountains.
Yuya got out of the car, looked up at the luxurious villa in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Amuro, your friend... seems to be very rich?" The luxury of this villa is in no way inferior to the Suzuki family's villa, and it also has a spacious yard.
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "She was a former client. I helped her solve a small commission, and then we got to know each other."
"I see." Youye nodded suddenly.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion and screams in the villa.
Yuya and Amuro Toru looked at each other, and a bad thought arose in their hearts, and they rushed in without thinking.
Miyano Shiho sighed slightly and followed the two closely.
As soon as the three entered the villa, they saw an old woman lying under the stairs, with several people surrounding her.
"Grandma, grandma, are you okay?" One of the women, who was in her twenties, was kneeling beside the old woman in panic, her face full of panic, and she was reaching out to help her.
"Don't move. Let me take a look at the situation first." A man in a white coat stopped the woman and examined her carefully.
After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, she just fainted. Come and help me, help my wife to the sofa."
"This is..." Miyano Shiho asked in a low voice.
Yuya glanced around and whispered back, "It seems that the old lady accidentally fell down the stairs. That man should be a doctor, right? Judging from his appearance, the old lady should be fine."
At this time, a man who looked like a butler looked over and hurriedly came forward: "Mr. Amuro, you are here." He looked at Yuya and Miyano Shiho, forced a smile and said, "Are these two the friends who want to adopt a ferret?"
Yuya nodded, "Yes, hello, my name is Yuya Kamiya and this is my girlfriend, Mio."
The housekeeper nodded, showing a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Hello. Although you are welcome to come, but as you can see, the old lady has had a little accident..."
Yuuya glanced at the old lady who was already sitting on the sofa and asked, "What happened?"
The housekeeper sighed and said, "The details are still unclear, but what we know is that the old lady suddenly fell down the stairs. Fortunately, she doesn't seem to be seriously injured."
"I see..." Youye nodded slightly, and habitually looked towards the stairs, scanning up and down.
Soon, he found a nail at the bottom of the wall of the stairs, which was abnormally crooked.
Yuya couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
