Chapter 1416: The Incident of the Baseball Player
Saturday, March 6, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.
When Lan took Conan upstairs, he opened the mailbox and checked it, but found it was empty.
"Uncle should have taken it." Conan said.
"I don't know if the ticket has arrived." Lan said, "It has to be changed to tonight."...
"I'm back."
"I'm back."
Conan and Lan entered the door, and immediately saw an open letter on the table.
"Dad, what did the letter say?" Lan asked, "Have you changed your ticket?"
"It's been changed to the evening one." Maori said with a guilty conscience.
Lan didn't realize it, "Then I'll help you pack your things." Then she dragged Conan away.
Conan heard it, and before leaving, he glanced at Maori, what the hell is uncle doing? ...
At half past six in the evening, Maori Detective Agency.
In the TV sports news, Masaharu Motoyama interviewed the baseball warm-up match in Miyazaki County, Kyushu. Masaharu Motoyama also broke the news on TV that he would interview Noh Snob three tomorrow, and invited the famous detective Mori Kogoro.
Mao Li was so overjoyed that he couldn't close his mouth with joy. This is free publicity, which is great. ...
At around 7:40 in the evening, the first half of work at Mei Dai Restaurant ended. Yamazaki and Mei Daizi changed their waiter clothes, bid farewell to Miyamoto Ichiro and Miyamoto Miko, and went to Maori Detective Affairs to gather with Sonoko, Mori, Ran, and Conan Let’s go to Mihua Square together, take the Express Air bus to Haneda Airport, and take the Express Air flight to Okinawa Naha Airport. ...
After boarding the plane, Mei Daizi used her points to upgrade Mao Li, Lan, and Conan.
Mei Daizi has chartered flights and ordered meals many times, and she has too many points to use up, so Lan is not polite about it.
Seeing Mao Li's smiling face, Conan suddenly had a thought, and was speechless for a while.
Couldn't the uncle have exchanged two first-class air tickets for two cheap air tickets, and then pocketed the difference?
It's amazing, if only the uncle could be this smart as a detective. ...
Night, Matsukawa, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, City Hotel Naha Plaza Branch.
Maori reported his name at the front desk of the hotel, and the group went to the reserved room to unload their luggage, and then went to the private room of the restaurant for supper.
"Snob three!"
Maori was surprised to see Nono Snob, sitting alone at a table for two.
Looking at the burly and strong man, Mei Daizi said: "He is just a snob."
"It happens to be one person." Yuanzi smiled, "Let's go there."
"This is not good, maybe he is waiting for someone." Lan said worriedly.
Yuanzi smiled and said, "What's the matter, meeting here will definitely not be a couple."
"Then please have supper." Yamazaki said with a smile, "It doesn't matter how many people are there, in short, since we meet, then get the autograph first."
"That's right," Maori said, "Lan hastened to go back and get his autograph."...
Lan took Mei Daizi and Sonoko, and hurried back to the room to get things. Mao Li took Yamazaki and Conan, and approached Neng Snob.
Hearing Maori's self-report, Neng Snob laughed, "So it's Maori detective. I heard from Benshan. I didn't expect you to come already. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Nose here," Maori asked, "Are you here, are you waiting for someone?"
"I'm alone." Neng Snob asked with a smile, "How about we get together at a table?"
"That's exactly what I mean." Maori invited, "If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to have a late-night snack with us."
"Okay, then respect is worse than obedience." Neng snobbishly said with a smile, "However, let me declare first that I can only drink a little wine with you."
"Understood." Maori smiled, "Please."
At this time,
The waiter brought Neng Snob's supper, so he asked him to take it to the private room. ...
private room.
Lan successfully got Neng Snob's baseball signature, and there was more than one. Mei Daizi contributed to ordering a table of sumptuous delicacies, and Neng Snob was too embarrassed to refuse. ...
Although he didn't drink much, Mori and Nono snob had a good chat, and the supper didn't end until midnight. ...
The next day, March 7th, at 8 o'clock in the morning, it rained and the hotel.
Mori took Yamazaki to Naha Airport to pick up Masaharu Motoyama, and Conan followed, Lan, Mei Daiko, and Sonoko were still sleeping. ...
Naha Airport.
At the airport pick-up, seeing that everyone from Miyazaki Prefecture had left, Maori yawned a lot, "Really, I forgot to ask him which flight he took, it seems to be early."
"By the way, uncle," Yamazaki said with a wry smile, "I heard Mr. Nose say last night that he still has a one-hour cross-country run from nine to ten in the morning. Mr. Benshan should know this, so Mr. Benshan probably has It will take a long time to come," then suggested, "We might as well find a place to sit down and wait slowly."
"Alright," Maori threw a coin to Conan, "Go, buy me a can of coffee."
"Yes." Conan reluctantly went to run errands. If he had known this, he would not have come. ...
At around ten o'clock in the morning, another flight came from Miyazaki Prefecture, and this time it picked up Masaharu Yamamoto, a tall, thin middle-aged man.
"I'm meeting you for the first time, I'm Kogoro Mori."
"I am Masaharu Motoyama, please take care of me."
After shaking hands, Masaharu Motoyama smiled and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Mori, but Nose usually runs cross-country long-distance running from nine to ten o'clock. It's just right for us to go there at this time."
"I know that." Mori smiled, "Actually, I arrived in Okinawa last night, and I happened to see Mr. Nose in the hotel where I was staying, and then we had supper together."
Motoyama Shoji said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect you to live in the same hotel, what a coincidence."
"Yeah, it's really a coincidence." Maori laughed. ...
On the way back to the hotel by bus, I passed by a place where there were many people watching. Inside was a police cordon. I heard from the people watching that there was a murder and that the dead person was Nono Snob.
Mori, Conan, and Masaharu Motoyama hurriedly got off the bus to see what happened, while Yamazaki watched from the side, a little amused in his heart, the uncle finally got a commission, but something happened again, uncle's luck. ...
The team was led by police officers from the Tokashiki Police Department and the Irasa Department. Mori stepped forward and reported his name, "Mr. Police Officer, this Mr. Masaharu Motoyama and I have an appointment with Mr. Noh Snob."
"Oh, is that so?" Tokashiki Police Department said, "Please be more specific."
"That's how it is." Masaharu Motoyama told him about his interview with Noh Snob.
"The police department," said the Irabu police officer, "there was such a paragraph in the sports news last night."
"Oh, that's right." Police Department Tokashiki said, and then asked, "So, where were you at around nine thirty in the morning?"
Maori said: "At that time, I was waiting for Mr. Motoyama at the Naha Airport. You can watch the surveillance video of the airport."
"I was on the plane from Miyazaki to Okinawa." Masaharu Motoyama said, "When I got off the plane and saw Mr. Mori, it was around ten o'clock in the morning, and then we came by bus."
Police Department Tokashiki looked at his watch, "If you take the bus, the time is correct."
"Mr. Police Officer, since our innocence has been proven, can we be allowed to participate in the investigation," Maori said, "Maybe we can help."
"Well," Tokashiki Police Department hesitated and said, "Okay, Detective Mori, you are also a well-known detective throughout the country, so I will trouble you."
"Where, it's my duty." Mao Li was very happy, and his reputation spread far and wide. ...
