Chapter 45 A Love Story
"So! Detective Maori! Please give me!"
"No problem! I have to tell you that your story touched me! Love! It's really a magical thing! It can make the weakest people brave, and it can make the most selfish people selfless. Although it has been 20 years since this incident, I am still willing to try it!"
"Thank you so much! No matter what, I will pay you the commission fee!"
"Don't worry, just for your mind, I will work hard for your love too! Hahaha! Miss Bamboo! Walk slowly!"
"Detective Maori! Stay tuned!"
"Oh, this damn love!"
Sighing the love that he didn't know whether it was envious or a pity, Kogoro Mouri sat at his desk and looked through the investigation information left by his client Takenaka Ichimi.
Takasugi Toshihiko Takasugi Group is the heir of Takasugi Group. It is the undecided ex-boyfriend of Takenaka Ichimi who just asked him to investigate this person's information. Why is it the undecided ex-boyfriend? Kogoro Mori, who lit a cigarette and suppressed his shock, said that even after experiencing the strange love that Maeda Satoshi and Akiko Sayama were nicknamed by the sculptors, I was not even willing to sit for you, why are you qualified to love your strange love? Kogoro Mori wants to say this is outrageous.
My best friend said that her boyfriend looked very much like her childhood sweetheart when she was a child, and this childhood sweetheart cannot be forgotten even now. So for the love of her best friend, Ichimi Takenaka came to ask herself to investigate whether Takasugi Toshihiko was her childhood sweetheart. If so, she would fulfill her best friend.
This is outrageous! If it weren't for the fact that Ichimi Takenaka's attitude and the deposits were indeed serious, Kogoro Mouri would have wondered if the other party was deliberately trying to make fun of him.
So after leaving a note for Xiaolan that he had a commission and might go home very late, Kogoro Mouri began his first job.
Although he is now a well-known detective in Tokyo, Kogoro Mori, who has a daughter, said that he is different from those peers who look down on the old business if they are a little famous. No matter how famous he is, he will never forget his original intention as long as the money is in place.
After all, compared to the old business of Conan who is always competing for the time of solving the case, tracking and investigating the case, it is still very friendly to him. Our Conan detective is not interested in doing these things.
Both parents are not short of money, and the young master who can train in Hawaii is not as fond of these dirty and tiring jobs that make money but work hard. People like Conan who satisfy their food and clothing pursue advanced pursuits to meet their own spiritual needs. In layman's terms, it is a prettier environment that can be sought after. The detection of major and murderous cases is obviously the most eye-catching behavior in this distorted world.
As for whom you followed, investigated whose wife had an affair, who cheated, etc. OK! If the other party is big enough, there are gossip newspapers who like it. But if you provide information, your reputation in the detective industry will be bad. A detective who leaks employer information will not come to you to do these dirty work.
Without further ado, Kogoro Mouri, who received the entrustment, started his entrustment that he didn't know how long it would take to get the result.
"Takeaka Ichimi's best friend is Matsumoto Kosairi. She is a music teacher at Didan Middle School. She even taught Xiaolan and their music a year ago. No... it should be said that it was three years, because she taught Xiaolan and the others during her internship. Will she become a regular after the internship?"
When Kogoro Mouri continued to investigate and learned who Matsumoto Kosuri's father was, he was not surprised by this teacher, Sayuri, who had just graduated and became a regular intern.
Keira Matsumoto, the management officer of the First Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, was considered the immediate boss of the Megumi Police Department. Of course, if he had not retired from the police force, he would be his boss.
With this unexpected gain, Kogoro Mouri became more interested in this strange love story. Originally, he thought this was a wealthy grudge drama routine that wanted to stick to a noble woman in a wealthy family and deceive her stupid best friend and thus gain the title. What is the childhood sweetheart at the age of seven, Kogoro Mouri didn't believe it at all.
However, after learning that Sayuri was the daughter of Matsumoto Police, Kogoro Mori could not help but overturned the speculation. Although Matsumoto Police had never had much contact with him because his position was too low, his glorious deeds in the police force were still used by his predecessors to teach them these juniors.
"He is upright, well-versed in business, uncompromising with sin, and always pursues justice. Although he looks fierce and harsh on the outside, he is a passionate person with passion in his heart."
There are some flattery bragging here, and Kogoro Mouri doesn't know. However, judging from the real contributions of Matsumoto's promotion to police, Matsumoto's police are not the kind of flattering person who climbs up to the powerful, so speculation about what benefits to make through the marriage between his daughter and the Takasugi family gradually got rid of Kogoro Mouri's heart.
"Hello? Is it really love? A childhood sweetheart who is recognized just because of a can of lemon tea? This is even more outrageous than the love story between me and Eiri! Interesting!"
Although I thought that Yuriko was not lying, Kogoro Mouri could not imagine how a wealthy family became childhood sweethearts with Matsumoto's daughter who was still a small policeman at the time.
So after some investigation, a more interesting plot appeared.
"Takasugi Toshihiko is actually an adopted son? It is not the son raised by the Takasugi family since childhood. And he was adopted at the age of 8, which unexpectedly coincided with the childhood sweetheart of Sayuri as Ikemi Takenaka said. Could it be that Takasugi Toshihiko disappeared because he was taken to be an adopted son by the Takasugi family? But how could he be an adopted son for others? Unless there is an accident in his family, his parents will die and become orphans?"
Following this guess in my heart, I visited the neighbors around the old house before the development of Matsumoto's police, and visited the old customer who helped investigate some secrets. Kogoro Mouri got a new understanding of this twists and turns of love story.
"This - this is so exciting, right? Even a TV series doesn't dare to write this way, right?"
Analyzing the information he investigated and driving a car he rented specially, Kogoro Mori parked in a parking space on the side of the road and smothered his young heart that was almost shocked and shattered.
The reason why Takasugi Toshihiko went to Takasugi's family to be adopted is indeed because his mother, who was dependent on each other, died of an accident and was sent to Takasugi's family to be adopted by her relatives.
The accident that caused his mother's accidental death was even more inconsistent with Matsumoto Police.
It was a very sensational case twenty years ago. Even when Kogoro Mouri was in the Metropolitan Police Department, he heard from his seniors. At that time, Matsumoto's wife was seriously ill, but Matsumoto's police officer, who was investigating a serial murderer case, was still on the front line and drove the murderer to arrest him.
Although the panicked gangster drove away a woman with a child, this did not show off her vicious and cruel nature. The child who was hit by the gangster was the current Takasugi Toshihiko.
"Hey! Miss Takenaka? Yes, yes! I, Kogoro Mori! There has been some progress in the commission, yes! If there is any news, I will report to you as soon as possible! I called you to ask. Your best friend likes your boyfriend Takasugi Toshihiko, so what about your boyfriend? What is his attitude towards your best friend? Don't hate it? Is this your feeling? OK! I understand! Hahaha! Nothing! Thank you for your help, then I'll be busy first!"
Hang up the phone in the roadside telephone booth, and after smoking the last sip of smoke, Kogoro Mori stepped on the cigarette butt, he returned to his car and began to ponder.
Because he suddenly had another guess, although this guess was a little dark.
Chapter completed!
