Chapter 24 [Chapter 024] Only a mere billion

Small bridges and flowing water, quiet and elegant, a typical Japanese-style courtyard, Conan squatted feebly by the pond with a sad face, looking at the koi carp swimming inside.

"Damn it, Uncle Maoli, wasn't it just that he came home late once? He was already punished severely by Sister Xiaolan, why did he still accompany him to make an affair investigation report?"

As he said this, he subconsciously touched his buttocks, and the pain immediately made him gasp.

Not only Conan, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also failed to escape.

In order to teach the four little ones a profound lesson, Kogoro actually asked Officer Megure to send someone to notify the parents of Genta and the other three people to the police station.

That scene, imagine the scene of vaccinating a child, it's almost like that.

It's just that what fell on the four little ones was not needles, but bamboo sticks, belts and slippers...

And the funniest thing is that Officer Memu is standing by, but has no intention of dissuading him at all.

I guess he couldn't tolerate these four brats for more than a day or two.

In the room next to the courtyard, Kogoro sat cross-legged on the tatami and handed over a photo: "Mr. Denjiro Kumaru, please look at this photo. Although the two people in the photo are wearing makeup, hats and

Even the mask, but the mole at the corner of a woman’s eye, can prove that she is your wife, Ms. Kumaru Inako.”

Sitting opposite Kogoro was a short, pot-bellied, unshaven, middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle. He held the photo and gritted his teeth: "Damn it, Rice, I've been so good to you, why did you betray me?

.”

Why?

Kogoro looked at Kuramaru Denjiro's appearance, and then glanced at the woman with fox eyes and an S-shaped figure in the photo.

Isn't the answer obvious?

Even though Conan's butt has blossomed, Kogoro still forced Conan to take him with him. Because he wanted to try it out. Would there be rewards for investigating an affair and catching a mistress cheating?

"Then who is this man in the photo?"

Denjiro Kumaru pointed at the photo and yelled.

"Well, you only asked me to find out whether my wife was cheating on her, but you didn't say you wanted to find out the other party's identity."

Kogoro rubbed his chin.

"What? Do you need to say this?"

"Of course I have to make it clear. After all, this involves cost issues."

"Of course money is no problem. Don't forget that I am an antique collector. This family lacks everything except money."

Faced with such a domineering declaration from Denjiro Kumaru, Kogoro nodded with satisfaction: "That's easy to handle. Please wait for a few days. I will definitely be able to find out the identity of that man."

At this time, the doorbell rang outside the door, and it kept ringing.

"By the way, because you are here, I sent all the servants out. I can't help it, please wait a moment and I'll be back as soon as I can."

Denjiro Kumaru stood up, left the room, and headed for the door. After a while, his voice came faintly from the door: "Oh, it turns out it's you. Let's go to the reception room to talk."

Conan carefully poked his head out: "Uncle, when are we leaving? If Sister Xiaolan knows that I didn't do my homework at home, but came here with you, she will be angry."

"I didn't expect you to be a good student who loves to learn. I can't tell."

Kogoro rolled his eyes at him and slowly lit up his cigarette: "Don't worry, soon, we can go back when I knock that guy off."

"Uh...Uncle, there is something I have wanted to ask you for a long time."

Conan asked hesitantly: "Since you already have a billion, why do you still have to work so hard?"

"Haha, you're just a kid, you're too naive." Kogoro lay on the tatami and crossed his legs, "It's only a mere billion. There are people who are richer than me, and they are still making money by writing detective novels every day."

Conan's heart skipped a beat, he felt that the person Kogoro was talking about should be his father Kudo Yusaku.

Time passed minute by minute, and a long time passed, but Denjiro Kuramaru still didn't come back.

Conan was sitting in the corridor, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth: "It's so boring. That uncle is so slow. He doesn't know what Xiaolan is doing?"

At this time, Xiaolan and Yuanzi were holding hands and walking towards the art museum.

"Just because my daughter likes it, I bought an art museum. This plot is so romantic and touching."

Yuanzi looked infatuated: "Why doesn't anyone do this for me? Wow, I envy you so much, Xiaolan."

Xiaolan looked embarrassed: "Yuanzi, I think as long as you ask, your father will buy you ten art museums."

"This is not the same at all, okay."

"What's different about this?"

"It's just different anyway."

"Both fathers love their daughters, what's the difference?"

"The biggest difference is...my dad is not as handsome as your dad."

"..."

Xiaolan stared at Yuanzi suspiciously until Yuanzi's face turned red and she felt weak, then she sneered: "When did you become blind?"

Yuanzi: "..."

The two soon arrived near the art museum, and saw many people surrounding the door from a distance.

"What's wrong?" Xiaolan was startled, "Did another murder happen?"

"Don't murders happen every day here? Is there anything so strange about it?"

Yuanzi acted very calmly.

"Have you heard? A particularly exciting murder just happened in this art gallery?"

"I just heard that the murder scene was decorated to look like an oil painting. It's really romantic."

"To this end, the museum has specially opened a crime exhibition hall to display murder scenes."

"Really? Go and have a look. If you are late, you will lose your ticket."

"..."

Listening to the comments of the people passing by, Xiaolan looked confused.

what's the situation?

What crime gallery?

Look at how impatient these people are, is it now popular to view crime scenes?

"It sounds very interesting. Let's go and have a look."

Before Xiaolan could react, Yuanzi dragged her forward and ran forward.

"Speaking of which... we don't need to buy tickets since you're here, right?"

Time soon came to evening. Conan looked up at the sunset and couldn't help but find Kogoro again: "Uncle, when are we leaving? I'm almost starving."

And because the system kept prompting for popularity points to be credited during this period of time, Kogoro was just browsing his space bag, thinking about what good things he could unlock by accumulating enough popularity points, and didn't pay attention to the passage of time at all.

After hearing Conan's words, Kogoro came back to his senses, looked out the door, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, the Mediterranean is indeed too slow."

"Mediterranean?"

Conan thought of Denjiro Kurumaru's shining forehead and nodded affirmatively.

"Come on, let's go see if he is asleep."

Although Kogoro already had a guess in his mind, he still wanted to confirm it.

What if... Conan's death halo doesn't take effect today.

Unfortunately, Kogoro and Conan had only taken a few steps when they heard a shrill female scream coming from the yard ahead.

"what the hell."

Kogoro picked his ears and said, "The scream is much worse than Xiaolan's."
