Kexue Magician

Chapter 245

The blue sky is like a flawless sapphire.

On the verdant camphor tree branches, magpies were chirping, and the office workers passing by the Polo Cafe talked about it with joy on their faces. After all, magpies are very rare in Tokyo, especially those who are not afraid of strangers.

Wearing a brown hat and big sunglasses, Marudenjiro looked up at the magpie, his mood did not improve, and then he went up the stairs.

The second floor of the Mori Detective Agency.

With his legs resting on the iron table, Mori Kogoro, who was reading the newspaper boredly, heard the footsteps coming from the door, put his legs under the iron table like lightning, and straightened his sleeves and tie in three or two seconds, with a lovely smile Get up.

"Hahaha, when I heard the magpie call this morning, I knew there was business coming!"

"Sit down, please sit down, Xiaolan, hurry up and make a good cup of tea!"

Mori Kogoro walked quickly to the sofa, impatiently grabbed Conan by the back collar and pulled him aside, then smiled and asked Marudenjiro to sit down.

Conan, who was clutching the comic book, rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Mao Lilan, who didn't go out to play on weekends, immediately responded, smiling and full of energy, and went to the tea room to make tea. Having a business means having income, and having new income means that the family's living expenses have increased.

"What commission does this gentleman have?"

"Whether it's investigating extramarital affairs, finding people, finding secrets, stalking, monitoring or cracking cases, to my detective Mori Kogoro, it's as simple as eating vegetables and smoking cigarettes on weekdays. You can definitely find me!"

Mori Kogoro raised his head slightly, boasting about himself.

"I'm Marudenjiro, and I want to entrust Maori detectives to investigate my wife, Maru Rice!"

Marudenjiro took off his sunglasses and brown hat, revealing his bushy eyebrows and bald head. He took out a photo from his pocket, put it on the square table and pushed it towards Kogoro Mori.

Mori Kogoro looked at the man in front of him carefully, and suddenly realized: "So you are Mr. Maru Denjiro, the chairman of the Maru Group. I heard that you are an antique collector, and you have all kinds of antiques in your home."

"But what are you going to investigate your wife for?"

"Did she disappear, or did she receive an unknown threatening letter? Could it be that she cheated?"

"Your wife looks quite young, probably less than 40 years old?"

Mori Kogoro glanced at the photo, and the photo showed the upper body of Maru Ine in a kimono, which looked pretty and charming.

Marudenjiro clenched his fists hard, his face was so gloomy that ink was about to drip, he gritted his teeth and said: "She is 34 years old, and she is the step-wife I married seven years ago. Since I married her, I have regarded her as my wife who will spend my whole life Look!"

"I'll buy whatever she wants, never mind how much it costs..."

"However, I found that she paid a lot of attention to grooming herself recently. She changed her lipstick and bought a lot of fashionable clothes. In addition, she often went to the gym and beauty salon. When I asked her why she came back so late, she always said to do it. hair!"

"My intuition tells me that she must have had an affair, but I have no evidence, so I entrust you, Mr. Maori."

With gloomy eyes, Marudenjiro took out his wallet and threw out a wad of [-] yuan banknotes that he had prepared.

As soon as the words fell, Mori Ran, who was listening to the tea after making tea, came back to her senses, and quickly brought the tea to Marudenjiro and Mori Kogoro.

Mori Kogoro glanced at the banknotes, his eyes sparkled, his chest slapped loudly, and he packed the ticket and said: "Leave it on me, I dare not say anything else. In the huge Tokyo, there is really no one who is more famous as a detective than me." Mori Kogoro knows how to investigate affairs better!"

Marudenjiro nodded, that's why he was looking for this person.

After the two talked for a few more minutes, Marudenjiro put on sunglasses and a hat and left the office.

Seeing the figure of Marudenjiro disappearing at the door with piercing eyes, Mori Kogoro took the banknote in his hand with lightning speed, shaking his five fingers three minutes faster than a professional banknote counter.

"40 yen! How generous!"

Mori Kogoro narrowed his eyes into a straight line, gently stroking the banknote as if touching the skin of a lover, smelling the faint scent of ink and sweat on the banknote, and the smile on his face was brighter than the sunflowers outside.

But the good times are not long.

The next moment, Mao Lilan mercilessly snatched all the banknotes, counted them, and put away thirty of them, leaving only ten for Kogoro Mori as travel expenses, meal expenses and other miscellaneous expenses required for the investigation.

"No······"

Mori Kogoro stretched out his right hand, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.

Hehehe, Uncle is really difficult, but I support Xiaolan!Conan smiled.

"If you let Dad have so much money, you will definitely drink and gamble on small steel balls at the first time, and wait until the money is almost spent before investigating. This is not okay! Are you right, Conan?" Mao Lilan crossed Waist, Kazilan widened her eyes.

Conan nodded in agreement.

Kogoro Mori quickly folded the banknotes, put them in his front trouser pocket, and then looked hopeless.

"I don't know why the wife of the president of Maru's Group cheated. He was so kind to her and regarded her as a treasure." Mao Lilan put away the cup of tea that Marudenjiro hadn't even taken a sip of, and couldn't help it. muttered.

"Stupid! What's wrong with this?"

"Marudenjiro is 51 years old this year, and his wife is only 34 years old. The difference between the two is 17 years old. They are typical old couples and young wives!"

"When they stand together, just looking at their appearance, Marudenjiro is just like Maru Rice's father. Apart from the big difference in appearance, the two people's growth backgrounds and educational backgrounds are also very different. The generation gap is wider than that of the Thousand Island Trench in Hokkaido. Go deep!"

"not to mention······"

Having said this, Mori Kogoro suddenly stopped talking.

"What's more? Is there anything you can't say?" Mao Lilan asked curiously.

What's more, Marudenjiro is already 51 years old. He has no choice but to put goji berries in the thermos cup.How can I be satisfied with my wife Maru Rice who is thirty like a wolf?

Now that the physical needs can no longer be met, isn't it even worse when a woman is forty like a tiger?
Moreover, Marudenjiro does not accompany Maru Inako to go shopping, travel, or buy clothes, and his emotional needs cannot be met either. The combination of the two is fatal enough!

Mori Kogoro shook his head, waved his hands, and said, "Ahem, ahem, you don't need to understand it yet!"

After finishing speaking, Mori Kogoro took a sip of tea, and immediately cleaned up the guy to investigate Marunane.

Seeing her father leaving the office, Mao Lilan frowned. After some thought to no avail, she looked at Conan and asked, "Conan, what did Dad want to say just now? Do you understand? Did it say it on the TV show?"

Conan was also puzzled, touched his chin and shook his head, "Sister Xiaolan, I don't understand either."
