Chapter 950 Work, Teacher [Bonus chapter for Lord Meng book friend 2019...]
"That's good," Chi Feichei said, flipping through the numbers on his mobile phone, "Actually, there are two commissions..."
Mori Kogoro's eyes instantly widened.
His apprentice really brought another commission, and two of them? This is murder, this pace wants to exhaust him to death!
Conan also stared dumbfounded at Chi Feichei. Uncle Mori makes it sound nice, but the previous investigation kept him busy for three days, constantly Tracking and Surveillance, and only finished yesterday afternoon. And now there's a commission so quickly...
Mouri Ran's smile froze. She looked at Chi Feichei, hesitating to speak. Although she wanted Mori Kogoro to work hard and not always go out to play cards, gamble on Horse Racing, drink, and play Pachinko, wasn't this much work a bit too much?
Haibara Ai's lips twitched slightly. It seemed Brother Hichiji not only liked to busy himself with work, liked to drag others into talking about work, but also liked to drag others to be as busy with work as he was... Yesterday, he dragged Suzuki Sonoko to work at the Company, and today he brought two commissions for Uncle Mori. It's terrifying!
"Slap!"
Mori Kogoro Recovered and immediately reached out to press down on Chi Feichei's hand holding the mobile phone, also closing the Flip Phone in Chi Feichei's hand in passing. He said with a serious expression, "Hassashi, ah, I've always believed that people can't just work, they also have to learn to relax and enjoy life. Although I really want to help people in need, having just finished a commission, I need to relax properly and let my Brain rest well so that I can better Solve the next commission!"
Chi Feichei stared directly at Mori Kogoro and seriously corrected, "It's not just finished. I remember Teacher's commission was completed yesterday afternoon."
As a Man who needs to support his family, whose Daughter is in High School, who has an Elementary School Student staying at Home, and who likes Horse Racing and Liquor, how could his Teacher be satisfied with just making ends meet?
Work, Teacher.
Mori Kogoro: "..."
Yes, that's right, the commission was completed yesterday afternoon, but it hasn't even been twenty hours from yesterday afternoon to now. Why is he giving him that scrutinizing look of 'you haven't rested enough yet'... He suspected that his eldest apprentice's concept of 'resting properly' might be different from his, and different from everyone else's!
Mouri Ran also sweat-dropped, "Brother Hassashi, actually, Father has been working very Hard on the investigation these past two days..."
"That's right, that's right!" Mori Kogoro nodded repeatedly. The person who said 'very relaxed' just now was definitely not him.
"And also, two commissions at once, Father can't handle them," Mouri Ran said with a dry smile, "If it's a commission like finding cats or dogs, although I'm very sorry, if we can refuse, let's refuse them..."
"I wouldn't agree to that kind of commission to Trouble Teacher Mouri," Chi Feichei said.
Mouri Ran: "..."
That's not what she meant. If it's a more difficult commission to complete, she would want to refuse it even more... She felt sorry for her Father who was no longer young.
"Let me explain the situation..." Chi Feichei sat down on the Sofa, "Teacher, please sit down first."
Mori Kogoro: "..."
No, he didn't want to sit.
Also, please turn back time. Turn it back to when his eldest apprentice came in and asked if he was there, and ask Ran to answer that he was not Home...
"I know Teacher is very Hard, and I originally planned to wait for you to Rest for two days before mentioning it to you," Chi Feichei said calmly, "However, there is one very urgent commission. It's from a Client I met at a Banquet the night before yesterday. At that time, I told her that Teacher was busy with a commission, and she was planning to wait a bit, but this morning she called to tell me that she originally wanted to Request Teacher to investigate a problematic Funds flow in the Production Crew, but this morning, she received a Notice from Kaito Kid..."
"Kaito, Kaito Kid?!" Mouri Ran exclaimed in surprise.
Conan's expression also immediately became serious.
"Could it be some kind of Prank?" Mori Kogoro reluctantly sat down on the Sofa, trying to push the matter away, "Someone impersonating Kaito Kid sending a Notice to scare her, that's also entirely Possible! In that case, there's no need for me, the Famous Detective, to take action!"
"Unlikely, because she said she has the Things Kaito Kid wants in her hand," Chi Feichei said, "A Jewel of considerable Value."
"Uncle, please Help," Conan reached out and shook Mori Kogoro's arm, Acting Cute and frantically urging, "If her Jewel is stolen by that bad guy Thief Kaito Kid, that would be too pitiful!"
"Pitiful for what? I bet she's probably a rich lady. Losing a Jewel won't be a big deal," Mori Kogoro said in a lazy manner of 'I absolutely refuse to accept', frantically pushing the Matter away, "And for this kind of thing, shouldn't she Report to Police?"
"Miss Maki Shizuri has already Reported to Police, but she doesn't want to affect the Performance because of this, so she hopes Teacher can also Help. As for her Identity..." Chi Feichei paused and dropped a bombshell, "She's not a rich lady, but a beautiful female Opera Actor."
Beautiful? Mori Kogoro caught the key Words and immediately sat up straight, "Ahem, since you guys insist so much, then I'll meet the Client. This isn't just about a Jewel. As a Detective, now that I know about this kind of thing, I can't let Evil grow and persecute others!"
Mouri Ran glanced at Mori Kogoro with Half-Moon Eyes. It's mainly because the other party is a beautiful Woman, right? But she shouldn't say anything. Because she couldn't stand by and watch others have their Jewel of considerable Value stolen just because her Old Dad had ulterior motives.
Mori Kogoro also said, "As for the other commission..."
"It's Toshiya's commission, about Kazuki from their family," Chi Feichei's Gaze at Mori Kogoro remained calm, "He said that if it was inconvenient for me to speak, he would Request his Father to come forward and ask Teacher for Help."
Mori Kogoro was stunned, "Ch-Chief..."
Since he became a Detective, he had received a lot of care from his former Colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Department. This was even his former Superior's Superior. He couldn't refuse to give Face.
"That side isn't urgent. Teacher can first be busy with Miss Maki Shizuri's commission," Chi Feichei said, "After Resting for two days, then accept Toshiya's commission."
Haibara Ai put her arm around Sawada Hiroki's Shoulder and hugged him tightly. Very good, Uncle Mori's Work Itinerary for the next few days has been arranged.
"O-Okay," Mori Kogoro felt bitter inside, but still had to pretend to be cheerful, "Since it's Chief's Family Matters and it's also related to his Child, I can't just sit idly by!"
...
An hour later, Miss Maki Shizuri arrived at the Mouri Detective Agency.
Although Miss Maki Shizuri was already in her thirties, she was still very well-maintained. Her Face looked no different from a Girl in her twenties. Her short red Hair was specially styled, and she had delicate and refreshing Daily Routine Makeup on her Face.
This time, Miss Maki Shizuri didn't bring Makeup Artist Sakai Natsuki, but brought her Manager Yaguchi Masayo.
Yaguchi Masayo was also a beautiful Female, wearing a gray professional skirt suit, thin-rimmed Glasses, tall but thin, with a delicate Face that was Pale, giving people an Introverted and weak feeling.
Seeing two Beauties at once, Mori Kogoro energetically greeted the two of them to come in, "Please come in and sit down, you two!"
Chi Feichei vacated a Sofa seat for the Guest and went to the Office Desk with Sawada Hiroki in his arms.
Sawada Hiroki nestled in Chi Feichei's arms, with Hassashi coiled around his hands, still sharing his History of going Fishing the day before yesterday, "When Brother Conan went, he also said it was good that you didn't go, anyway, you wouldn't catch a single Fish..."
Chi Feichei Glanced at Conan, who was also moving to make space. Haibara Ai looked at Conan with some schadenfreude. Does he still dare to Teasing people behind their backs? Isn't it awkward now?
Conan: "..."
Well... he was just telling the truth!
"In the end, no one caught any Fish, and we also encountered a Murder Case. A Fishing Contestant was Murdered..."
"You guys, not a single Fish was caught?"
"Uh-huh, everyone in the Junior Detective League participated in the Fishing Competition," Sawada Hiroki said, "Auntie Ai also participated, but she didn't catch a single Fish either."
Haibara Ai felt resentful in her Heart. After Chi Feichei sat down on the Office Chair with Sawada Hiroki in his arms, she patiently corrected, "Xiao Shu, I've already said, don't call me Auntie."
"But..." Sawada Hiroki felt even more resentful in his Heart, looking at Haibara Ai with Half-Moon Eyes, "It's Correct for me to call you Auntie."
Haibara Ai thought it was because a child who was just over one year old had the wrong perception, and she got a Headache, "No, Xiao Shu, you call Edogawa and the others 'Older Brother and Older Sister', you should call me the same way."
Conan suppressed a laugh, "Okay, maybe it's because you usually speak maturely, he thinks you're like an Adult."
"You guys keep it down, don't disturb my Work. If Xiao Shu feels sleepy, take him to Rest on the Third Floor," Mori Kogoro instructed, then invited Miss Maki Shizuri and Yaguchi Masayo to sit down, and asked with a Smile, "Would you two like a cup of Coffee?"
"Of course, Thank You," Miss Maki Shizuri said with a proper Smile on her Face.
Mori Kogoro turned his Head to Mouri Ran, who was standing behind the Sofa, and said, "Ran, ah, Help make two cups of Coffee!"
"Yes~" Mouri Ran responded with a Smile, turned around, and went to the Water Boiler Room to boil Water.
"Miss Maki Shizuri," Mori Kogoro said, getting down to Serious Business, his Expression becoming a bit more Serious, "I heard from Hassashi that you received a Notice from Kaito Kid, is that right?"
"Yes," Miss Maki Shizuri took out an Envelope from her Handbag and handed it to Mori Kogoro, "This is the Letter that was placed on my Apartment Balcony this morning, along with a large bouquet of Roses..."
Conan: "..." Roses? That guy Kaito Kid is still so pretentious.
Mori Kogoro took the Envelope, took out the Letter Paper inside, and looked down at it.
"Romeo... Juliet... Victor... Bravo! (Romeo... Juliet... Victor... Bravo!)"
"Amidst the 26 letters flying and intertwining, I will come to take the 'Jewel of Fate'... Kaito Kid."
"Hmm... and he also drew a Playing Card torn in half, a Playing Card torn into a 'V' shape, it represents Victory, right..."
Chi Feichei sat behind Mori Kogoro's Office Desk, turned his Head and Looked at the Window of the Mouri Detective Agency. Outside the window, a White Pigeon was perched on the Second Floor Rooftop Balcony across the Street. From inside, he couldn't see anything abnormal about the White Pigeon, but there should be a Camera and a Bug tied to the White Pigeon's foot. Animal spies have existed since ancient times.
So, this time it's the Plot of the Movie 'The Magician of the Silver Sky'. He remembered that there was no Explosion this time, but there was Murder and a plane crash. Kuroba Kaito's Notice hinted at the airplane seat number and Flight number, indicating that he would Start Doing something on the Airplane. Such an abstract Hint is indeed difficult to understand. As for the Murder Case, the one who dies is... Miss Maki Shizuri? Oh, then it doesn't matter.
After Chi Feichei Recovered his Line of Sight, a Crow flew to the White Pigeon and stood still, cawing, "Isn't this Little What's-his-name from Kaito's Home? You're here for Work?"
"Yes, helping Master to Check," the White Pigeon cooed, "Are you too?"
The Crow Looked towards the Mouri Detective Agency across the Street, "I'm on Daily Routine patrol."
"My Master said, we can't be discovered," the White Pigeon moved to the side, cooing non-stop, "Let's move further away. You're black, and I'm white. Standing together is too conspicuous."
In an Alley nearby, Kuroba Kaito wore a Baseball Cap, with Earphones plugged in his Ears, looking down at the Surveillance Footage on his mobile phone, showing the Crow flying away. Were the two birds talking just now? His Little White also has friends now...
