Chapter 360 The Disappearing Kogoro (3)
"Detective... Detective?" Xiaolan was slightly surprised, but in a flash, she thought that since this person was my father's friend, then his father was a detective, and he was also a detective, which seemed reasonable.
So Xiaolan opened the door: "Please come in." She said, signaling Lu Yuan to enter the room.
Then, at this point, someone might think that in the middle of the night, a girl's family would just let a stranger be in the same space as her. Wouldn't she be afraid? What if this person is a liar, a robber or something?
Then students who think this way can feel at ease. At least Lu Yuan doesn't look like he is carrying an assault rifle behind his back. Then, even if he is a bad person, he cannot be Xiaolan's opponent.
Because Ran Maori is in the world management of "Conan", he is a bug at the second boss level. So Lu Yuan was a little nervous after entering the office. If this girl missed her father and couldn't control herself for a while, she might just give herself a second.
Fortunately, Xiaolan is not so incapable of resisting stress. She first asked Lu Yuan to sit down, and then poured him a cup of tea.
Lu Yuan did not say much comfort and went straight to the point: "How long has Mr. Maori been missing?"
"It's been three days." Xiaolan said.
"Ah?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment: "It's only been three days. Will he go somewhere to drink without bringing money and be detained for cleaning the plate?"
Lu Yuan’s idea is also normal. After all, an adult disappeared for three days, so he should be within the reach of a reasonable level.
Xiaolan shook her head: "No, the day when my father disappeared was the first day of the release of Yoko's variety show, which is more important to him than life."
"Uh--" Lu Yuan scratched his head awkwardly, okay, there is indeed a bit strange about the character of this guy Maori.
But...it's been only three days.
Before Lu Yuan could say anything, Xiaolan spoke again.
"Not only that, there is a child named Conan who disappeared with his father. If the child suddenly cannot be contacted, something must have happened.
Oh, by the way, the day after my father didn’t come back, Officer Memu also came to look for his father. After learning where his father was going, he also went to search for him, but... Officer Memu has not come back to this day."
When Xiaolan talked about this, she finally showed a strong worry. It seemed that no matter how cruel the girl was, she was still a girl after all.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, then can you tell me what happened these days?"
Xiaolan reluctantly restrained her worried expression and spoke to Lu Yuan about the process of this series of things.
It turns out that the beginning of this matter is to say a strange commission.
It was an afternoon four days ago, and everything was the same as normal days. Except for Maori who was excited to have no good sleep all night because he was expecting Miss Yoko's variety show to be launched, the rest were very ordinary.
But a knock on the door broke the silence.
After Maori opened the door, a man stood outside the door in a seemingly ordinary outfit, but Maori was also a celebrity in the detective industry, so he had met many powerful figures. With one meeting, he could confirm that this guy's outfit was equivalent to half the housing price of his own firm.
This person's purpose is also very obvious. He entrusted Mr. Maori to handle a case. If he was an ordinary person or an ordinary case, Maori would actually find a reason to shirk it away. However, this person's value is obviously very unusual, so Maori is ready to listen to it first.
But it doesn't matter if this sounds. After listening, it makes Maori and others straighten their bodies.
The client is called [Shangki Ichio], who commissioned a missing person notice. He said that his fiancée disappeared... Note that it disappeared, not that he did not go home at night, parted without saying goodbye, or other missing cases.
But it disappeared.
The specific process is like this.
Sugiki Ichio was sent abroad when he was very young. He lived abroad for more than ten years until his father passed away some time ago and finally returned to China.
His family is a very huge enterprise. Although it is not as huge as the family that owns an island alone, it is considered a rich man. Moreover, Shanmu's father left him a part of his inheritance, which was an old house.
I had an impression of this old house when Shanmu was very young. It seemed that it was passed on to his father by his grandfather. As for how old it was, he couldn't say it was, but he just knew that the house was big.
Sugiki Kazuo's original wish was that he didn't want to accept this house. After all, he was too old, and during the process of his talk, it could be heard that he had a very good relationship with his father.
But it was a relic after all, so Shanmu took his fiancée whom he met abroad to the old house.
Their husband entered the house and looked around. What was a bit beyond Shanmu's expectations was that his fiancée seemed to like the house very much, thinking that it was full of the most direct Japanese culture.
Anyway, they were wandering around aimlessly for a while...
Then......
His fiancée disappeared!
Yes, it disappeared, silently. At that time, Kazuo Sugiki sat alone on the balcony of the house, looking at the forest and sunshine in the distance. At that time, the last time he talked to his fiancée should have been 5 minutes ago. After seeing the beautiful scenery in front of him, Sugiki wanted to call his fiancée to come and see it.
After making up his words, he received no response.
Shanmu shouted loudly again, and then no one replied.
He was a little puzzled and began to look for his wife everywhere. But he found that his wife was gone, and at some point he didn't notice, it suddenly evaporated.
He also went outside the old house to look for it, but there was no sign of anyone leaving, and no one moved the car when he arrived, and he still stopped in place.
The phone couldn't be reached, and no one answered the call.
It just disappeared! Suddenly it disappeared.
Sitting on the sofa of the detective office, Kazuo Sugi's expression became extremely nervous and anxious. He said that it must be that his father used some ancient spell before his death. They had always disagree with his fiancée's marriage. He even said that if he came back with a foreigner, they would not expect to get a little inheritance and would be punished by the souls of his ancestors.
Of course, Maori certainly did not believe this statement, so he decided to take on the case.
Oh, the main reason for this is that the entrusted money given by Mr. Shanmu is really too much.
......
So the next day, his father took Conan to the ancient house, and because Xiaolan was going to school, he did not go with him.
Then......
