Chapter 4 [004] Actually I don’t like money at all
"What? Someone is actually spying on you?"
Kogoro slapped the table, looking filled with indignation.
"Yes, sometimes when I go home, the furniture at home has changed its position. I also receive letters from strangers, which contain secretly taken photos. Recently, I often receive harassing phone calls."
Yoko said worriedly: "If this continues, I'm worried that the other party will do something more extreme, so I want to ask Detective Maori."
Manager Sakae Yamagishi, standing behind Yoko, quickly added: "Besides, for the sake of Miss Yoko's reputation, we hope that this matter can be handled in a low-key manner as soon as possible."
"No problem, then let's go to where you live now and see if there are any clues."
Kogoro stood up aggressively.
He knows very well about this case.
The person who followed and monitored Yoko was her boyfriend in high school. He mistakenly believed that Yoko had abandoned her after becoming famous, and because of love and hatred, he simply faked a secret room murder and died in Yoko's room.
I have to say, this brain circuit... is indeed amazing.
But this is not the point. The point is that starting from this case, the name of "Sleeping Kogoro" will be completely established.
Kogoro secretly glanced at Conan. Well, the equipment is complete, including a watch, tie, belt, and sneakers. Dr. Agasa is fast enough.
It seems that as time goes by, problems arise in the technology line.
Three days ago, everyone was still using mobile phones that looked like bricks, but now they have evolved into Motorola and Nokia. If development continues at this rate, even Kogoro will not be surprised if the Apple 15X appears tomorrow.
"Um...," Xiaolan said a little embarrassedly, "Can we go with you, because we also want to see what dad's favorite idol is like at home?"
Naturally, Kogoro would not object, and Yoko was also very approachable. Only manager Yamagishi Sakae curled his lips: "There are so many people, and our car can't fit in it."
"It's okay, we'll drive there."
Kogoro seemed to take out a car key casually.
"What?"
Looking at the black off-road vehicle with flashing lights in front of them, everyone opened their eyes wide.
"Dad, you bought this car?"
"Um."
"What do you mean? When did you buy it?"
"Today."
"why did not you tell me?"
"If I buy a car, do I still need to report to you?"
"So...how much does this car cost? It doesn't look cheap."
Yamagishi Sakae on the side pursed his lips: "The latest Mercedes-Benz Grand G costs at least more than 20 million, right? Not only is it not cheap, it is simply outrageously expensive."
"More than 20 million?"
Everyone gasped at the same time.
Kogoro waved his hand casually: "The top match is only 85 million."
"..."
Xiaolan and others were completely petrified.
Yuantai waved his fingers: "One hundred...two hundred...one thousand...eighty-five million yuan...how many servings of eel rice do you need to buy?"
Ayumi secretly asked Mitsuhiko: "Didn't you say that detectives are all paupers? Why is this handsome uncle so rich?"
Mitsuhiko's eyes twitched: "Uh...I just meant those ordinary detectives, and obviously Uncle Maori is a famous detective, so of course he is very rich."
"Hey, hey, even if you are a famous detective, making money is not so outrageous."
Conan complained in his heart.
Xiaolan put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Dad, you spend money indiscriminately again. Also, where did the money for the car come from?"
"The employer gave me the reward for rescuing the rich lady last time."
Yamagishi Sakae couldn't help but ask: "Is the one-time payment more than 80 million?"
"That's not true."
Kogoro scratched his nose: "It's only one billion."
"puff!"
Including Yamagishi Sakae, everyone fell to the ground.
Yoko was also shocked. Although she is now a popular idol and earns a lot of money, there is still a huge gap between her and the superstar she was in the later period. Her current financial strength, including a luxury car worth more than 80 million, is not
Just buy it if you want to.
Not to mention making one billion in one go like Kogoro.
"Well, actually I don't like money at all."
If it weren't for the fact that Kogoro always had a brand new car key in his hand, everyone would have believed it...that would be weird!
"Sorry, Mr. Mori."
Yamagishi Sakae no longer had the disdainful expression before, and even used honorifics unconsciously: "Although it is a bit rude, we still have to make it clear in advance, how much is your salary this time? If it is one billion,
Then we can’t afford to hire them.”
Yamagishi Sakae was about to vomit blood in his heart. As Yoko's manager, he knew that the person secretly monitoring Yoko was none other than Yoko's ex-boyfriend Fujie Akiyoshi. It was precisely because of his secret obstruction that Fujie Akiyoshi mistakenly believed that Yoko was cheating on him.
Abandoned.
Therefore, Yamagishi Sakae had no intention of actually solving this matter. He just wanted to find a random detective to comfort the frightened Yoko, and then he could find a way to send Fujie Akiyoshi away, whether it was money or other means.
After all, this is the period when Yoko's career is on the rise, and he must not let this incident damage Yoko's image.
However, Yamagishi Ei never imagined that such a third-rate detective who was not famous at all would be pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
Not only was he paid one billion for one appearance, but he also seemed to have successfully solved the kidnapping case of a rich young lady.
So for such a great detective, it is not easy to solve the case of stalking a little idiot like him.
When the time comes, everything he has done secretly may be exposed.
Yamagishi Ei stared at Kogoro. He had decided that no matter how much salary Kogoro asked for, he would refuse and take Yoko away quickly.
"Being able to help a beautiful girl like Ms. Yoko is my unshirkable responsibility as a detective, Kogoro Mori. As a fan of Ms. Yoko, I will never allow stalkers to exist, so this time I am doing it for free, without paying a penny.
.”
Kogoro's chest slapped loudly.
"Free? How can this be done..."
Yamagishi Ei was so anxious that Yoko next to him suddenly stepped forward and said solemnly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Mori."
Kogoro chuckled: "Why, Mr. Mori, you are so angry, just call me Kogoro."
"Ahem," Xiaolan forced herself to steal the spotlight, "Dad, it's getting late, we'd better set off quickly."
Yoko made a decision, and Yamagishi Ei couldn't say anything no matter how unwilling he was. He took Yoko with him, while Xiaolan, Conan and the other four sat in the big G that Kogoro had just bought.
Soon the group arrived at the high-end building where Yoko lived, and what happened next was exactly as Kogoro knew.
The body of a man with a knife stuck in his back was lying on the floor of Yoko's room.
Accompanied by the screams of women and children, police cars soon arrived at the scene.
"Brother Maori, it turns out it's you."
Officer Megure, who was broad-minded and fat, looked at Kogoro speechlessly.
Kogoro patted Officer Megure's shoulder casually: "We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Did you miss me, Officer Megure?"
"Haha, the police station has become a lot quieter since you resigned."
"You're out of touch when you say that, Officer Memu, we solved so many cases back then, have you forgotten all of them?"
"I remember, it's so fresh in my memory. The number of thieves caught was the first in the entire police department. The detection rate of murder cases was the last."
"Ahem, Officer Mumu, I'll treat you with admiration after three days of separation. I'm a famous detective now."
"Really? Never heard of it."
"Don't worry, I'll let you see it today."
