“Are you the landlord here?”

"Ah! Yes! Who are you?"

"Oh! My name is Kogoro Mouri, and I am a detective. Have you ever seen this person? His daughter entrusted me to help find him who ran away from home!"

"Run away from home? People now! Hey? This person? Wait! He lives with me!"

"Ha? Really? Take a closer look? He likes raising cats very much and has four!"

"No problem! You will definitely not read it wrong! It's him! It turns out that he ran away from home! I said it's so strange!"

"Oh? Strange? Can you tell me?"

After the old landlord confirmed the person in the photo, Kogoro Mouri calmly stuffed the photo back into his pocket and started chatting with the landlord.

Although his reasoning ability is indeed average, he has many years of experience in police practice and his basic skills as a third-rate detective before, and he talked to the old landlord and the old lady.

"Yes! It's very strange! He actually paid the rent for one year at a time! It's the kind of cash paid in one lump sum! Generally, such generous customers are very picky about living environments! But he feels like he doesn't care about these things. He moved in without even looking carefully!"

"What? Pay the rent in one lump sum for a year?"

Kogoro Mori was also surprised when he heard the old lady's words. The rent in Tokyo is not cheap for a year. He is the only taxi driver, so he can get so much cash at once? And he is planning to live here for a long time! It turns out that he forgot to work by betting on horses or something? So why did he rent a house here secretly? Could it be that he is really hiding from Hirota Masami, right?

But why?

Just when Kogoro Maori felt that Kenzo Hirota was getting stranger, another sentence from the landlord's old lady suddenly gave him new inspiration.

"...These banknotes are actually new... It's really incredible. Few people use such big banknotes directly! It feels like they just got new banknotes from the bank!"

"Wait! Landlord sister! What did you just say?"

"I said the money is new!"

"Next sentence!"

“Incredible?”

"No, another sentence!"

"Like a new banknote just taken out from the bank?"

"That's right! That's it! I understand, I understand it all! It's true that the same fate is the same! I always thought it was on Miss Masami, but I didn't expect it was on her father Kenzo Hirota. If I hadn't received Miss Masami's commission, I wouldn't have found Kenzo Hirota! Hehehe! The robbers in the 1 billion yen theft case. It is said that a security officer was seriously injured. OK! Kenzo Hirota, no wonder he didn't go taxi, and he bet on horses every day! If I had 1 billion yen, I would bet on horses every day!"

Kogoro Mouri, who was thinking it through, suddenly became excited. He thanked the landlord the old lady again and again, and told the other party not to say this to Kenzo Hirota, and asked his daughter to come and pick him up.

Kogoro Mouri quickly left the community, and he had figured it all out. Unfortunately, Miss Masami didn't know what her father was doing this month after she disappeared. Maybe she helped Miss Masami find her father later, and she was involved in this case. The winery staff named Ginji killed her and silenced her? That's why the sculptors said that I wanted me to save her? Should I pay attention to Miss Masami after completing this commission?

So should I tell Miss Yami now and find her father?

"Dad! It's getting late! Why don't we go home for dinner first? Thank you for a hard day today, so I'll go back and reward you! By the way, what do Conan wants to eat?"

Just when Kogoro Maori was a little embarrassed, Xiaolan, who was following him, suddenly started asking. Although she didn't know why her father found Kenzo Hirota and did not inform Miss Mami after she found Kenzo Hirota, she asked the landlord about Kenzo Hirota, but Xiaolan, who knew that her father was always wise and wise, chose to believe Kogoro Maori unconditionally.

This may be the image of the father in every child’s mind?

Kogoro Mouri, who was inexplicably touched, finally stopped tangling and walked towards the public phone call next to the road.

"There is no reason to stop a child from meeting his father. If there is any danger, let me protect you!"

Kogoro Mori, who made up his mind and no longer hesitated, called Hirota Masami.

"Hey! Is it Miss Masami? I am Kogoro Mouri! Yes! That's right! I've found your father, yes, that's right! We are in the Nymph area now... That's right, that's the address! I'll wait for you to come over! Don't worry, I haven't contacted him yet! He doesn't know you're looking for him!"

After a period of time...

"Dingdong Dingdong!"

"Here is here! Who!"

"Dad! Is it really you? Dad! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Ah...this..."

"The father-daughter reunion is a perfect ending! Miss Masami, I won't disturb your reunion with your father! If possible, can you come to Maori Detective Office tomorrow? I still have some things I want to tell you!"

"Of course there is no problem! Thank you very much, Detective Maori! Don't worry, I will definitely give you the follow-up of the commission fee!"

"Hahaha! It's not that I'm urging you to get the final payment. I want to... forget it! Let's talk about it tomorrow! Let's be here today! Miss Masami, Tokyo seems a bit messy recently, you have to be careful! Let's go first."

"You walk slowly! Thank you very much!"

"Okay, don't be polite!"

Seeing Hirota Masami turn back to the room with a happy face, she feels that Kogoro Mori, who has done a good deed, can't help but curl up.

"Xiaolan! Thanks to the help of you two, I perfectly completed another commission. Today we are not eating at home! Dad takes you out for a meal! Hahaha! Let's go!"

"Really? OK! Then I'm not polite! Conan, we must have a hard meal!"

"Ah? Hahaha! Yes!"

Compared to Kogoro Mori and Koran who had been completely relaxed, Conan, who had just listened to the chat with Kogoro Mori and his wife, was no longer as relaxed as he had just started.

He thought this was just an ordinary case that Kogoro Mouri took on, but he didn't expect that such a big inside story would be involved in the end. Although he did not have the future information that Kogoro Mouri got from the silly people. However, he was a perverted person and quickly linked the information about the new banknotes and taxi drivers for a month to disappear with the billion-yen theft case he had seen before.

"Hey! Uncle! Will you pay cash if you treat us to a meal later?"

"Of course! But if you eat too much, I might choose to pay by card?"

"Huh? Why is this?"

"Idiot! Of course, who would bring so many large-denomination bills when going out?"

"That's strange, but why did Uncle Hirota pay rent with money? And it's only one year!"

"This little devil! Is it really worthy of being a famous detective? Is it connected in one go? What a terrifying reasoning ability!"

I didn't pay attention to the speech of Conan before, but with the reminder of the sculptors, Kogoro Mouri immediately received the information that Conan wanted to express.

Unfortunately, this time, he could not let Memu police department come and arrest people as Conan wished. He remembered that there were three people robbed at that time. After he told Miss Masami about her father tomorrow, he asked her to persuade her father to surrender and confess the other two people.

Although Mr. Kenzo Hirota might be in jail, he and Miss Masami Hirota were saved.

He knew some terrible information that Conan didn't know. Without the protection of the police, Mr. Hirota would die no matter how he hid. The man named Gin was a whole murder organization behind him!
