After escaping from the art gallery, Xiao Ai stayed in Mochizuki's house until Miyano Akimi returned in the evening.
"Sorry to trouble you, Moongazer Serpent." In order to thank Mochizuki for taking care of Xiao Ai for her, Ming Mei bought some fruits as a thank you gift. Mochizuki didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted it.
"Oh, right." "How was your interview today, Miss Haihara?" Mochizuki asked.”
Mochizuki was still not used to calling her Miss Haigahara.
Ming Mei shook her head helplessly." I failed…"
"Don't be discouraged. You'll definitely find a job.”Mochizuki cheered her on.
In fact, Mochizuki could understand. It was difficult to find a job now, and Ming Mei was a fugitive. Many jobs were not suitable for her. Mochizuki guessed that she was probably looking for a job that didn't require her to show her face or interact with many people.
Perhaps it was because of these conditions that she had repeatedly hit a wall.
"Sister, how much money do you have left?" Xiao Ai asked without warning.
Ming Mei was stunned for a moment. She hesitated for a moment before answering,"There's still thirty thousand yuan left."
30,000 yuan seemed like a lot, but it was Japanese yen…Mochizuki calculated that it was only equivalent to 2,000 yuan. If she didn't make money soon, Mingmei might not even be able to live in a house next month. No wonder she was looking for a job so hard.
Her current situation was similar to how she looked at the beginning. At that time, what he lacked was lifespan, and what she lacked was money.
"Why don't we ask Brother Wangyue to lend us some money first?”Xiao Ai suggested.
" I don't think that's a good idea…" Ming Mei glanced at Mochizuki. In her opinion, Mochizuki didn't seem to be very rich.
However, Xiao Ai had already learned that Mochizuki was actually very rich." Sister, you don't know, but Mochizuki is actually a rich man. He claims to be a reporter who specializes in interviewing detectives. In order to obtain information as soon as possible, he even pays 500,000 yen to Detective Maori every month. I heard all this from Sister Xiaolan.”
Ming Mei was clearly surprised.
As the saying goes, saving the poor is better than saving the emergency. Mochizuki didn't mind lending money to Akira." Miss Haihara, if you don't mind, I can lend you money first. You can return it to me after you earn money."”
Ming Mei hesitated for a moment before agreeing." Thank you so much, Mochizuki. Don't worry, I'll definitely find a job as soon as possible and return the money to you.”
Just like that, Ming Mei borrowed a sum of money from Mochizuki to temporarily tide over the economic crisis. After returning to Room 201, Ming Mei immediately asked Xiao Ai,""Did you find out more information about the Moongazer Serpent?”
The sisters still hadn't figured out the identity of the Moongazer Serpent.
Xiao Ai told him everything she had heard.
Ming Mei was surprised." His parents left him hundreds of millions?”
"Yes, Detective Maori's daughter, Xiaolan, said so. It's said that Mochizuki said it herself.”
Ming Mei fell into deep thought and asked tentatively,"Do you think this money is the one billion yuan I robbed from the bank?”Ming Mei couldn't help but think of this possibility.
"I think it's possible too." Xiao Ai mumbled," The police have never found the whereabouts of the money, and your accomplice, Ming Guang Tian, has never been found. If Mochizuki was really the Grim Reaper, it wouldn't be strange for the money to fall into his hands.”
"Yes, Hirota took the money without telling me. Death told me about this.”Ming Mei analyzed carefully." So the Grim Reaper must have known where the money was, and it's reasonable that the Grim Reaper took the money away…So Mochizuki is really the Grim Reaper?”
"I don't know." Xiao Ai shook her head. She still couldn't be sure.
……
On Sunday morning, a voice came from Maori Detective Agency.
"This is all thanks to Detective Mao Li! Reading more news about Detective Maori solving cases could improve one's IQ!”
At this moment, Maori Kogoro was watching TV. He was watching the news of Mochizuki coming out of the art gallery for an interview. He recorded the news and watched it over and over again. Every time he finished watching it, he would laugh out loud.
"Tsk tsk, this child Moongazer is really more likable the more I look at him! This kid is really too sensible. It's not a waste of my careful guidance for him. Wakakaka!" Koguryo smiled weakly.
Xiao Lan was annoyed by the unpleasant laughter." Dad, when did you teach him carefully?”
"That's right!" Conan couldn't help but complain," Uncle, you're not his teacher. What did you teach him?" And you've only met once so far, right?”
"That's right, that's right. Although Mochizuki said he wanted to follow you and watch you solve the case, he hasn't seen you solve the case with his own eyes.”Xiao Lan nodded in agreement.
"Humph! What do you know? Although he hasn't seen me solve a case with his own eyes, Mochizuki said that he would read the news of me solving a case carefully. I'm teaching from afar! Wakakaka, I'm really too great!”
This old man was too narcissistic. Xiaolan and Conan both expressed their disdain.
After laughing, Kogoro muttered to himself," No, I have to call Moongazer Serpent over to reward him.”Because he had already memorized Mochizuki's phone number, he immediately called Mochizuki.
……
After a while, Mochizuki arrived at Maori Law Firm. At this moment, Mochizuki was still confused and had no idea what had happened.
"Detective Mao Li, why did you call me over?”
"Mochizuki, sit down. You did a great job on the art gallery case!”Kogoro invited Mochizuki to sit down and then sat opposite him very steadily. He had the calm demeanor of a famous detective." This shows that you have learned a lot from me. I am very pleased with this." However, you can't be proud. Pride makes people fall behind…"
What the hell? Moongazer Serpent frowned. Why didn't you get to the point?
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched. Can't be proud? Is there anyone more proud than you in this world?
"Your interview on TV has helped me to become famous. There should be an endless stream of customers coming to my door. In order to express my gratitude, I intend to entertain you personally!”
Hearing this, Moongazer Serpent asked strangely,""Detective Maori, you know how to cook?"
"Nonsense! Of course not. I was planning to let Xiaolan prepare it! Don't look down on Xiaolan just because she's a student. Her culinary skills are simply incomparable. She's completely different from her mother!”
Mochizuki didn't mind eating here. In fact, he also wanted to try Xiaolan's cooking.
However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Kogoro's eyes lit up. I was just talking about the guests, and the guests have arrived. Mochizuki, you're really my lucky star!”
Kowuro quickly ran to open the door. A middle-aged couple stood outside. The man was bald and the woman was fat.
"You are Maori Kogoro?" the fat woman asked.
"That's right, I'm the famous detective Mao…"
"Where's your daughter?" The fat woman questioned again.
Xiaowulang was confused. Weren't you guys here to look for me? Why did you mention my daughter?
