"If you go, the building will still be there." Jin Cheng continued.
Maori Kogoro nodded." The first time we went there, we didn't feel anything. The furniture in the house still looked like someone was living there. Although we could feel a very light layer of dust on the table, they only thought that Mishima might have gone out to play.”
" The second time they went there, they noticed that something was wrong. The furniture in the house had not changed at all. It was still the same as before. The dust on the table was even thicker.”
"Didn't they call the police?" Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked.”
"No, and I won't call the police.”Maori Kogoro looked indifferent." After all, he's just a freelance reporter. He doesn't have a fixed position at the Beihua News Agency. It's just one less source of writing. It doesn't involve their fixed employees, so there's no direct loss.”
"Besides, maybe he really just went on a long trip? They wouldn't call the police for this kind of thing. It was better to avoid trouble. If it fell into the ears of their peers, it would be some random rumor.”
Maori Kogoro said it so easily that Jin Cheng understood. It was indeed reasonable.
"Then, is there anyone else who knows about Mishima's prestige?”Jin Cheng asked. He wanted to use Mishima Miki's clues as a breakthrough point in his infiltration and exploration, hoping to find some different information.
Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and shook his head."He always comes and goes alone. From the information that Officer Megure just sent, this guy's identity stated that he was an orphan since he was young.”
"An old orphanage that has closed down. It's in Osaka.”Maori Kogoro shrugged his shoulders." And we basically can't contact the relevant personnel of that orphanage. We can't find anything on this route.”
" How about this?" Maori Kogoro thought for a moment and continued," You should prepare to search the Otsuga in the next two days. I'll prepare to go to Mishima's old apartment building to take a look. Perhaps there might be something useful."”
"Alright." Jin Cheng nodded.
Outside the window, the sky was gradually turning yellow. It was already dusk. Jin Sheng got up and was about to leave when he happened to see a newspaper on Maori Kogoro's table. On the front page was a large portrait of Kudo Shinichi. Moreover, one could clearly see that there was an obvious sign of being punched on it, and it looked slightly wrinkled.
Maori Kogoro naturally saw Jin Cheng's gaze and seemed a little unnatural. He pushed him out of the door."What are you looking at? Go do your thing!”
Jin Cheng laughed as he was pushed."Don't be angry. With such an outstanding son-in-law, won't you still be beautiful in the future?”
"What son-in-law! Even if my daughter dies, dies at home, dies of old age, I won't let her marry a detective! There's nothing good about being a detective!" Maori Kogoro puffed out his chest and waved his big hand, looking rather heroic and heroic.
"But aren't you a detective yourself?" Jin Cheng added.”
Jin Cheng's face was full of black lines. He really couldn't figure out where Maori Kogoro's confidence and arrogance came from. How could the heavens create such a person? It was really a miracle of the creator.
"Alright, alright, leave quickly, leave quickly!”Maori Kogoro continued to chase Jin Cheng away. He reached out to open the door and was about to push Jin Cheng out.
However, the moment he opened the door, a young girl in a JK outfit was standing outside. Her face was red and her eyes were like beans. She seemed to be in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. The smile on Jin Cheng's face froze at that moment, and Maori Kogoro's hand movements also froze.
It was as if the entire time had stopped. The three of them fell into a short silence.
Mao Lilan seemed to still be in an awkward daze. The redness on her face did not subside at all, and there were even signs of it continuing to spread.
" Ah, this..." Maori Kogoro and Jin Cheng stuttered, unable to say anything. They were extremely embarrassed.
Jin Cheng really couldn't take it anymore and said shrivelly,"Ah, it's getting late. I'll go home first. Mr. Mao Li, Lan-Sang, goodbye!”
He squeezed his way through the door and ran down the steps, not afraid of breaking himself into pieces. After running for a few dozen meters from Maori Detective Agency, he felt the awkward smell in the air dissipate and he could finally breathe easily.
Ah, the air is so fresh!
He took a leisurely step forward, but at this moment, he felt as if the entire Tokyo was trembling slightly.
"Whoa! Is it an earthquake?" The passersby on the side felt the shock and could not help but exclaim.
Jin Cheng naturally knew that this was not an earthquake, because he could vaguely hear the terrifying sound in Mao Li Detective Agency.
"Mao Li, pray for yourself!" He looked back at the Maori Detective Agency, turned around, and left without stopping.
In the Maori Detective Agency, Maori Kogoro was shivering as he looked at Maori Lan, who looked like a Super Saiyan. He smiled awkwardly.""Lan, no matter what, I'm still your father. This isn't good, right?”
"Do you also know that you're a father?”Mao Lilan said angrily," Then how can you talk about your daughter's marriage with an outsider like this?!”
" Ah…Haha, this, this…" Maori Kogoro was at a loss for words and could not find a reason to explain.
"Furthermore!" Mao Lilan continued to emphasize and added a crime." What do you mean by even if I die, die at home, die of old age, I will not marry a detective, especially, especially that…that…"
Mao Lilan thought of a certain young man, and the invincible aura on her body suddenly weakened. Maori Kogoro instantly found a node to counterattack. He sat up straight and said righteously,
With these two sentences, Mao Lilan was ultimately a soft-hearted and gentle person. In an instant, the situation was reversed by Mao Li Kogoro and he successfully appeased her.
"Then, go and prepare dinner. I'm starving.”Maori Kogoro saw that Mao Lilan's heart had softened, so he immediately put on a pitiful look and once again won Mao Lilan's sympathy. He successfully turned the tables and made Mao Lilan play GG.
While Mao Lilan went upstairs to cook, he collapsed in his seat and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He secretly felt afraid."Lan is getting scarier and scarier. Was it a mistake to let her learn karate?”
Just as he was thinking, Mao Lilan stuck her head out from the door and said," Oh, Daddy, I forgot to tell you. Shinichi and I are going to Dorobiga Paradise tomorrow. You'll have to settle your lunch tomorrow."
"What? What?" Maori Kogoro's voice suddenly rose seven or eight degrees." I want to go too! I don't want to go to a small restaurant alone!”
" Damn it…" Maori Kogoro struggled weakly. When he saw the newspaper with Kudo Shin's portrait hanging on the table, he was instantly enraged. He shouted," Damn you brat, you stole my job and my precious daughter!"”
At that time, he punched the portrait hard, as if he could knock Kudo Shinichi to the ground with one punch.
However, reality was cruel. A punch like this definitely wouldn't hit Kudo Shinichi, but it could make Maori Kogoro's fist hurt for a long time.
That night, Maori Kogoro kept pinching the chopsticks in his hand while eating, which made Maori Lilan puzzled. Finally, after many times, she couldn't help but ask,"Dad, what's wrong? Are you injured? Why can't you hold your chopsticks?"
He forced himself to operate here and endured the pain. Indeed, it did not look like he could not hold the chopsticks. Mao Lilan could only be skeptical and successfully get past this part.
As for how much pain Maori Kogoro was in, only he knew.
