Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire
Chapter 328 Questionable Commission
Inside the Mori Office.
Mouri Kogoro puffed out the smoke and looked at his watch and said, "Okay, the concert is over and the client should have arrived."
At this moment, Mouri Kogoro's cell phone rang, and it was a text message.
[Hello, I am Kei Tsutsuka who originally made an appointment with you today to visit you. Due to my personal reasons, if possible, I would like to change the appointment location to Columbus Cafe. That shop should be very close to you, so We should still be able to meet at the original time. I wonder what you think. I'm waiting for your reply. ]
Mouri Kogoro suddenly became impatient: "It's really troublesome, I guess I can just refuse."
Mao Lilan hurriedly stopped us and said, "No, dad, it's hard to have a guest come to our door. Besides, Conan and I haven't had lunch yet. Wouldn't it be nice to go to Columbus Cafe for lunch?"
Mouri Kogoro looked at the sandwiches on the table and asked, "But what to do with these sandwiches?"
Mao Lilan picked up the sandwich: "It's not bad to put this in the refrigerator for today's dinner."
Kamiya Minatsuki touched his belly: "But I've already eaten several pieces, so I'm not too hungry."
"I heard that Columbus Cafe also serves alcohol."
Mao Lilan completely grasped the psychology of Mao Li Kogoro and Kamiya Minayuki.
As soon as I heard that Columbus Cafe had alcohol, my eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's okay."
Toru Amuro asked Mouri Kogoro: "Well, Teacher Mouri, I want to go with you to see the client and talk to him. I don't know if this is okay. It just so happens that I only work until noon today."
Mouri Kogoro agreed: "It doesn't matter if you want to go with me, but since we want to meet together, we have to pay the lecture fee."
Amuro smiled and replied: "Of course."
...
Inside the Columbus restaurant.
Toru Amuro asked Mouri Kogoro about the commission of the case.
After taking a sip of foreign wine, Mouri Kogoro said: "The client found a locker key from the belongings of his brother who passed away recently, but I don't know which locker key it is. I hope I can help him find it. , if it is something important to him, I hope it can be put into the coffin and buried together."
Mao Lilan asked doubtfully: "But can it really be found with a key?"
Mouri Kogoro answered clearly: "Generally, the name of the manufacturing company and a serial number will be engraved on the key. Just call the company and find out the manufacturer of the locker. Then you will have something to look for. Direction."
Mao Lilan said in surprise: "Hey, I didn't expect it to be so simple."
Tohru Amuro asked: "Is this the only content entrusted by the client this time?"
Mouri Kogoro said proudly: "Yes, you are willing to give me 30 yen. It is a good job."
"Indeed..."
Toru Amuro was almost speechless by Kogoro Mouri. For such a simple job, he still had to pay an additional tuition fee.
So it is said that birds of a feather flock together, no wonder Kamiya Minatsuki and Mouri Kogoro have a very good relationship, they are both money-hungry guys.
"cheers!"
Kamiya Minatsuki and Mouri Kogoro clinked their glasses, drank the bottomed wine in one gulp, and then shouted at the same time: "Waiter, have another drink!"
Mao Lilan stopped him and said, "You can't drink too much. I have business to do later. I just want you to come here for a drink and a taste!"
After the waiter came, Mao Lilan said to the waiter: "No need for wine, just two cups of coffee!"
Kamiya Minazuki and Mouri Kogoro immediately complained.
"What? You've already started drinking. If you don't drink to enjoy yourself, wouldn't it mean that the drink just now was in vain?"
"Yes, Xiaolan, let's have another drink, just one drink!"
Mao Lilan flatly refused with a straight face: "No! No need to discuss!"
Kamiya Minayuki and Mouri Kogoro immediately sighed, and at the same time they complained about the client in their hearts.
It would be great to choose an izakaya as the meeting place. What kind of coffee shop should we choose?
After waiting for a long time, the client never came.
Kamiya Minatsuki was playing with Snake on his mobile phone.
Conan drank the drink in the cup and asked, "Why hasn't this client come yet?"
Toru Amuro guessed: "Could it be that there is another coffee shop called Columbus near here?"
Mouri Kogoro, who was using his mobile phone, said: "No."
Tohru Amuro asked: "The client said that he wanted to change the meeting place here. Did Mr. Mori reply to the text message?"
"Yes, I replied right away. I just sent several text messages that are waiting for him here, but there is no reply...Eh?"
Mouri Kogoro suddenly leaned his head closer to look at the phone.
Kamiya Minayuki saw Mouri Kogoro's surprised expression and asked, "What's wrong, Uncle Mouri? Are we being let off the hook?"
Mouri Kogoro shook his head and said: "No, I discovered that the number sent by the client's text message sent last night and the text message just now are not the same number."
Mao Lilan guessed: "Could it be that because his own mobile phone was charging, he borrowed a friend's mobile phone and hurriedly sent the text message just now?"
Amuro Toru followed Maorilan's guess and continued: "And not long after, his friend might have turned off his phone?"
Mouri Kogoro hurriedly operated his cell phone to check: "The text message I replied OK was sent to the number just now!"
Conan said helplessly: "Then maybe the other party didn't know that you replied OK and was waiting there. It was the detective office where we agreed at the beginning."
Kamiya Mingyue was the first to stand up from the chair: "Then I can only go back and take a look. It's boring here, and I can't stay any longer."
Everyone went back to the detective agency.
But there was no one in the detective agency.
Mouri Kogoro said unhappily: "What? There's no one here. Just in case, I re-sent the text message to the original number saying I'll be back soon. What happened?"
Mao Lilan guessed: "Maybe it was a coincidence. The other party should reply to you immediately after receiving the text message. Anyway, they are already back, so just drink black tea and wait."
Mouri Kogoro said: "I don't need it. I drank too much coffee in Columbus. I need to go to the toilet."
Minato Kamiya lay directly on the sofa, turned on the TV and started watching.
Toru Amuro volunteered: "Xiaolan, if you want to make black tea, I'll help you."
"Sorry, could you please help me take out the tea cup?"
"Okay, I'm happy to."
Just when Mouri Kogoro walked to the door of the toilet, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Mouri Kogoro took it out and took a look: "The client finally sent a text message. He said that he had just arrived in Columbus. If it is convenient, please go there quickly."
At this time Conan wanted to pee and asked everyone to wait for him.
Immediately afterwards, another text message was sent to Mouri Kogoro's mobile phone: "The client sent another text message, saying to hurry up and invite everyone to come together."
Upon hearing the content of the text message, Kamiya Minatsuki, Conan and Amuro Toru raised their eyebrows at the same time.
has a problem!
