Chapter 12 The changed ending

"So, are you also a detective?"

"Yes! It's true. Detective Maori please be sure to believe me!"

"Since you are a detective, you are following me because someone entrusted you? You can't let you follow this little devil beside me, right?"

"No! Where did anyone entrust me to follow you, the famous Maori detective? The reason I followed you was because I accidentally met you next to Kenzo Hirota's residence yesterday, so I suspected that you and I might have received the same commission, so I thought..."

"Hmm? The same commission! You wait... What do you mean is that someone has also entrust you to find Kenzo Hirota?"

Hearing the explanation of the cool man in front of him who rubbed his shoulders and never took off his sunglasses even if he was embarrassed, Kogoro Mouri felt that something was wrong with his inner speculation.

"Yes! This is also the reason why I hurried to the Metropolitan Police Department after hearing that Kenzo Hirota was killed yesterday. Unexpectedly, I saw Detective Maori come out from the inside as soon as I came. Just when I didn't know how to say hello to you, the kid next to you... and then you... this..."

"Hahaha! So that's the case? That... cough cough... sorry! Brother! It's my fault. After this matter is resolved, I'll invite you to drink! Since you know the seriousness of this matter, I hope you can focus on the overall situation and not hide the information of your client. Let's communicate and share with me."

"Yes! This is also the reason why I just hesitated! Since Brother Maori said that, I won't be pretentious!"

"The person who commissioned me to find Kenzo Hirota was a tall man from Kyushu who claimed that Kenzo Hirota's only brother, named Akira Hirota, who was 28 years old. This is a photo he gave me and his brother."

"Is the height difference so much?"

"Well! Hirota Akira is about 190 years tall!"

"What a tall man!"

"Are you sure this man said that he and Kenzo Hirota are from Kyushu?"

"Confirm! I can't even handle such information, right? I'm a detective!"

"Detective? Haha! Then are you sure that this Akira Hirota is the only relative of Kenzo Hirota?"

"Sure!"

"Is that so? Interesting! The one who entrusts us is Masami Hirota who claims to be Mr. Kenzo Hirota's only relative and daughter. She said that she and her father are both Yamagata."

"Ha? Yamagata? The only relative, daughter?"

Although it was a bit strange how the little devil next to Detective Maori felt that he was asking about this information just like the detective solved the case. It also seemed that a big secret was triggered.

However, seeing the man in sunglasses who did not respond, feeling the pleasure of his whole body falling apart, he still answered truthfully with a very stingy look.

Just as Conan found a question on his face, Kogoro Mori was clenched quietly.

"So did you pay the wrong payment after all? Miss Yami, you are indeed involved in this case! How I hope you are really just an innocent person involved? What a pity... is the winery?"

"Conan! And that sunglasses!"

"You can call me Yamada!"

"Okay! Yamada! Let's go back to the Metropolitan Police Department. I need to talk to Meguro Police Department again!"

"Ha? Uncle, do you have any new discoveries?"

I vaguely felt that Kogoro Mori seemed to have walked in front of him again, Conan looked at Kogoro Mori in surprise.

"Did I really have my eyes covered by prejudice before and didn't see Uncle Maori's strength? But he has been opening a detective office for a day or two! How could I read it wrong with Xiaolan for so long? Could it be that Uncle Maori has any hidden feelings or difficulties?"

With doubts in his heart, Conan followed Kogoro Mori and Yamada back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

The Meguro Police Department, who was setting up people, was also surprised by the return of Kogoro Mouri.

"What's wrong? Brother Maori?"

"Mui Police Department! I came here to provide you with some clues to the case!"

"What clue?"

"A trio of billion yen theft!"

As he said that, Kogoro Mori took out the photo of Hirota Kenzo holding a cat in his arms provided by Hirota Masami from the lining of his clothes, and asked Yamada to take out the photo of Hirota Akira from his side and gave him to him. Finally, after writing Hirota Masami's name on his notebook, he tore it off and placed it next to the two photos.

"Brother Maori! What do you mean?"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's pretense operation, the Meguro Police Department cooperated very well to play the role of his tool person.

"The three-person group of 1 billion yen theft case, Kenzo Hirota, is a taxi driver, and suspects that he was driving to transfer money. Akira Hirota entrusted this tall man Yamada-kun to find Kenzo Hirota, who was over 190. The last one... Masami Hirota entrusted me to find Kenzo Hirota's mysterious woman. After I helped him find the so-called father Kenzo Hirota yesterday, Kenzo Hirota died in the evening and he disappeared."

"This...this...this..."

"Mui Police Department!"

"ah?"

"I want to ask you to check the identities of the three of them again. I suspect that these identities are all fake! Hirota Masami said that she and her father Hirota Kenzo are Yamagata people, while Hirota Akira said that he and his brother are from Kyushu. Coincidentally, their narratives to me and Yamata Jun are both of them and Kenzo Hirota. How much moisture do you think is there in this sentence?"

"I understand! It seems that the other party did not rob the bank on a whim! Have you covered up your identity? I will find out their true identities. Since they have photos, don't worry! I will find this one from Hirota Akira and Hirota Masami! You have helped a lot this time, Brother Maori!"

"It's okay! In the end, Brother Memu, you will work hard! Please!"

"Hahaha! Brother Maori! You...hahaha! Brother, I'll remember this love!"

"Takagi! Print a few more copies of this photo and search for this man named Akira Hirota!"

"yes!"

So with the full force of the state machine like the Metropolitan Police Department, Hirota Akira, who was still holding the new banknote outside, was soon searched and locked in his position.

“Is it Room 802 of Rice Hotel?”

"Yes! Meguro Police Department! But he was the only one who checked in, and Hirota Masami didn't know where to stay."

"Oh? Is it? It seems that the other party is very vigilant! The three of them didn't live together. Takagi, don't alert the suspect first. Monitor the suspect to see if there are any suspicious people to contact him! Once it is confirmed that it is Hirota Masami! Arrest immediately!"

"yes!"

Listening to the orderly arrangements of Meguro's police department, Kogoro Mori, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but get distracted again.

"It's better to say that the three of them are very alert, they are all guarding against each other, right? The reason why this incident turned out like this is not because Kenzo Hirota, who was responsible for transporting money, was temporarily greedy and was preparing to live a free life with the billion yen alone? Masami Hirota and Akira Hirota, who were afraid of being punished by the organization, would frantically look for some private detectives who were good at finding people to help them find Kenzo Hirota who disappeared in Tokyo? Unfortunately... Akimi? I hope that those sand sculptures can understand me. Since you have broken the law, I can't let you go, and I don't want the organization's people to kill you. Then I can only send you to a relatively closed prison to hide. I hope you really have difficulties in this organization!"

Just as Kogoro Mouri felt complicated and comforted her young heart that was hurt in this case, Takagi, who was at the Mihua Hotel, also waited for the target person Akira Hirota to return to the hotel with a bag of beer. Then a woman wearing a baseball cap to cover her face pushed some strange suitcases into the hotel.

After Hirota Aki pressed the chin layer up, he also pressed the eighth layer and prepared to go up.

Takagi, who felt something was wrong, followed him, and then when he pretended to return to the 806 they rented temporarily, he saw the suspicious woman pushing her suitcase to the utility room beside her, glanced around and opened the 802 door quietly.

"action!"

"yes!"

So ten minutes later, Hirota Akira and Hirota Masami, who were each in Room 802 and were preparing to kill the other party, were captured on the spot. Of course, the billion yen snatched from Hirota Kenzo who was hidden by Hirota was also recovered at the same time.

What will be waiting for Hirota Akira and Hirota Masami will be a prison disaster that will not last long.

"So that's how it is? I'm really a detective Maori who actually helped the Metropolitan Police solve such a big case. I believe you will have a greater reputation in the detective circle this time, right?"

Yamada, who followed Kogoro Mouri from the Metropolitan Police Department, complimented Kogoro Mouri next to him with envy.

But Kogoro Maori, who didn't know whether he was doing this right or not, rarely did not perform his beauty with others' compliments. He was thinking about whether he wanted to meet Hirota Masami and reminded her about the organization.

Yamada, who saw that Kogoro Mori did not speak, stopped his flattery awkwardly. After scratching his head, he was still preparing to ask for Kogoro Mori's contact information.

This dark horse that is about to take off immediately should not hug his thighs? Just because he is familiar with the police department who can wear a pair of pants, he will also lick it hard! A third-rate detective like himself who is wandering in a gray area may be invited to the police station for tea one day.

"The matter is over! I am also ready to leave! I am really lucky to be able to cooperate with Detective Maori this time. I just don't know if there is any chance to cooperate in the future. I don't know if Detective Maori can leave a contact information? Maybe we will..."

"Oh! Of course no problem!"

Kogoro Mori, who was called back to his senses by Yamada's words, was also a little embarrassed. After hearing Yamada's request, he immediately took out his notebook and pen from his arms in a hurry and prepared to leave a contact information.

However, just as he was busy handing Yamada the contact information, he was bowing and thanking Yamada for looking up and was knocked off by Kogoro Mori's hand. The sunglasses he never took off when he looked up.

So...

"Puchi! Sorry! I'm very professional! I usually don't laugh in person unless...Puchi! Hahaha! Unless I can't help it! Sorry, Yamada! You are...hahaha! You are so unique, you look really good!"

"Detective Maori! You...Detective Maori! Please stop laughing, okay?"

Just when Yamada's cute appearance dispelled Mori Kogoro's somewhat melancholy mood. On the other side...

Next to a black Porsche 356A, a melancholy man with long shawl hair and a black top hat was holding a cigarette and slowly sucking the smoke rings.

"Brother! That woman Mingmei and two other wastes messed up the matter! What should I do? Do I need to deal with the follow-up?"

"No! They are just some external garbage. This action itself is just a bargaining chip that Mingmei, a woman who can't see the situation clearly, made her self-righteous. It's good to go in, so I can save myself from taking action. I also have to explain to Shirley."

"But what if she's in prison..."

"Don't worry! With Shirley here, she will never tell the organization's situation even if she dies. What's more, she doesn't know much important things. Just deal with the places related to her! Let's go!"

"But...Brother!"

"Um?"

"yes!"

"Does the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? It doesn't seem that trash! Be careful in the future!"

Stepping on the thrown cigarette butts, the black Porsche then ran away and disappeared into the night.
