Chapter 2158: Hunting of Ice Cream
July 14th, Monday, evening, at Mei Dai Restaurant.
While Yamazaki was working, he accidentally found Hondo Eisuke passing by with his head down, so he went out and stopped him, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Hondo Eisuke didn't have the nerve to say.
However, looking at him like this, Yamazaki also guessed that Hondo Eisuke probably caused some trouble.
Yamazaki didn't ask much, "Go slowly, be careful on the road."
"Understood." Hondo Eisuke was a little moved.
Yamazaki paid his respects and went back to work. Hondo Eisuke slowed down and continued to move forward, but his head was no longer a mess, but calmed down, thinking about it, maybe it was time for a change. ...
Tuesday, July 15, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.
Ikuo Daita and his wife came to pay an official visit. In the expectation of Maori, he expressed his gratitude to Maori with an envelope.
After sending off the couple, Mouri couldn't wait to open the envelope and found that there was only 100,000 yen, and he was a little discouraged.
However, considering that other companies are laying off employees, although this is a bit small, it is better than nothing.
So, the question is, what to do with the money? hide it? How much is appropriate to hide? ...
On the other side, Didan High School is on the way to school.
Yamazaki, Mei Daiko, Lan, Sonoko, Hondo Eiyu and their party met the Boy Detective Team. They also just finished school and were wandering on the road under the leadership of Genta.
Yuanzi asked with a smirk, "By the way, do you know about the paper airplane incident?"
"Know."
"I heard what Conan said."
"It's a pity to hear that it has been resolved."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Unlike Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta, Haibara realizes that Sonoko's problem is not the paper airplane incident.
Yuanzi smirked and said, "I'll tell you, Uncle Mao Li also participated. I heard that the president is going to thank him today."
Haibara understood, "Ah, if you thank me, I will definitely give you a lot of thank you gifts."
"Most definitely."
"The president must be very rich."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
"oh!"
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta were interested, and happily accelerated to the Mori Detective Agency.
"Yuanzi." Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, although Mao Li was said to have been cheated, but Mao Li was her father, so speaking of it, it was their family who was cheated.
Yuanzi smiled and said, "Do you think that stingy uncle would be willing to take out the money? Instead of letting him keep the money, it's better to take it out."
Mei Daizi raised her hand and said with a smile: "Support, let Uncle Mao Li buy ice cream, it's very comfortable to eat ice cream in this day."
Lan said: "However, there are still Yamazaki and the main hall in there, and we should share them with them later. Otherwise, with my father's temperament, I will definitely spend their money first and keep him for his own share."
Yamazaki shook his head, "Forget it, I don't think I played much role in the incident, and with the uncle's temperament, dividing the entrusted money is like cutting his flesh, even if he divides it, he will not be honest."
Hondo Eisuke nodded, "I didn't do anything else, maybe the uncle didn't plan to give it to me, so don't worry about me."
Lan quickly argued: "No, you don't have to worry, I will urge Dad to take it out."
"Don't talk about it, Lan, this is the tactic of killing each other." Mei Daizi smiled, "No matter how you divide it, the uncles are the most. If you calculate it this way, the uncles will pay the most."
Yuanzi grinned and said ironically, "Well, Uncle Mao Li is really a kind person. He treats us to ice cream in summer, so I really need to thank him."
"Really, I don't care." Lan compromised dumbfounded. ...
Soon after, Maori Detective Agency.
When the Detective Boys arrived,
Just in time to see Maori walking out of the stairs and going in the other direction.
Huiyuan said teasingly: "In this weather, wearing a windbreaker and a hat makes me feel sneaky."
"Yes." Ayumi agreed.
"I don't know what you're doing?" Mitsuhiko thought.
"Follow up and have a look." Conan suggested angrily.
"Okay, young detective... woo..."
"Hush..."
"Don't be so loud, you will be found out."
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi covered Genta's mouth to prevent him from screaming.
Yuantai whispered embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, do it again in a low voice, the young detective team is attacking!"
"Oh." Mitsuhiko and Ayumi responded to Genta's call in low voices, and at the same time found a problem. Conan and Haibara were not there, so they didn't raise their hands.
Looking again, Conan and Haibara had already left, and hurriedly chased after them.
The Detective Boys left, and Lan and his party came back. They didn't notice Maori, but only the Detective Boys.
"Strange, these brats can run away." It was hard for Yuanzi to imagine that they would let go of the delicious food.
"Maybe there's something wrong," Lan said.
When they returned to the Maori Detective Agency and found that Maori was not there, everyone realized that the Detective Boys were looking for Maori.
Hondo Eisuke pondered: "Where will uncle go at this time? Isn't he going to meet President Daida this afternoon?"
"I must have seen it, and got the money." Yuanzi smiled firmly, "Now, he must have gone to the bank, and he must have saved money."
"Yuanzi, the bank is closed," Lan said angrily, "I guess it must be playing pachinko."
"There is also a self-service bank." Yuanzi smiled, "I bet, uncle is definitely saving money."
Lan pouted: "I don't believe that Dad will save the money."
"I don't believe it either," Hondo Eisuke said supportively, "If there is a horse race today, uncle will definitely buy a race horse."
"Hmph, you guys," Yuanzi said with an evil smile, "after receiving the money, Uncle Mao Li must be thinking about what to do in order to maximize the benefits and swallow all the money by himself."
"I agree." Mei Daizi raised her hands in support.
"It's possible, very possible." Hondo Eisuke didn't object either.
"Maximize the benefits? Take it all?" Lan Ze's mouth twitched. Is this too exaggerated.
Yamazaki didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Please, don't make it sound like a crime divides the spoils."
Yuanzi chuckled and said, "Anyway, uncle is afraid that Lan you will find out if he hides the money at home, and he is worried that you will say that he spends money indiscriminately, so the best way is to save it and spend it slowly."
Hondo Eisuke thought about it and said, "This will be discovered too."
Yuanzi said angrily: "How is it possible, his account is only known to him."
Mei Daizi smiled and said, "What's more, we don't know how much money uncle got, and it's not easy to check the account."
Lan frowned, "Well..."
Yuanzi nodded and joked, "Uncle, he said that the president just came to thank you and didn't give you any money. Lan, you can't call the president and ask him, hey, Mr. President, how many thanks did you give to my father?" Huh? You can't do it, Ran."
Lan jumped a little, "Of course, how is this possible, how can I ask such a thing."
"So, what we have to do now is to prevent your father from saving money." Yuanzi said righteously, "We are not only preventing uncle from spending money indiscriminately in the future, but also preventing uncle from committing crimes by concealing property and not reporting it." , but a serious act of tax evasion.”
"Pa..." Mei Daizi applauded, "That's really good."
Bentang Yingyou supported: "Yes, we can't let the uncle become a person like Zhen Biyinye."
"Okay, let's stop him." Lan said firmly.
Yamazaki felt amused, he knew how happy Zhen Biyin was now, and with Uncle Mori's character, it was too late to be envious of him. ...
After going out, Lan called Conan, asked him where he was now, and asked him to help prevent Maori from saving money.
Conan had already expected this matter. Although he didn't do it, the three of Yuantai were doing it, but the three of them didn't know why.
They are following Maori, but the standard is too poor, Maori has noticed, and this is just used in Conan's calculation.
In order to avoid being smashed by Yuantai and the other three when saving money, Mao Li had no choice but to get rid of them, but with him, things were not as easy as Mao Li thought.
As for Haibara, thinking of her, Conan couldn't help raising his triangular eyes, and went to the bookstore to use the air conditioner in the bookstore under the banner of his delicate skin. He really doesn't fit in at all, this is a group activity. ...
On the other side, Mihua Park.
Under Conan's dispatch, Yuantai and the others forced Maori to the Mihua Park area, where the ice cream shop was nearby, so that they would not have to bring him here after they were caught.
"Surrender, uncle."
"You have nowhere to go, uncle."
"Stop being stubborn, uncle."
"Uncle, please treat us to ice cream."
"Count me in too."
Under the leadership of Conan, together with Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, Mori was half-surrounded, and behind him, Haibara came out of the bookstore yawning.
"Damn..."
"Hey, Brother Maori, what are you..."
Maori was about to take advantage of his body to escape, when a car stopped.
Mori was taken aback because there were Megure Police Department and Shiratori Police Department inside, Officer Takagi was driving the car, and Officer Sato and Officer Chiba were behind the car.
Presumably, they came from the place of imprisonment of the paper airplane incident and happened to pass by, but Maori didn't want to see them at this moment.
Maori didn't dare to act recklessly, but Conan was overjoyed, what a coincidence, "Mumu police department, uncle just took a thank-you gift, and is planning to treat guests to that ice cream shop for ice cream, you should come too."
The Mumu police department praised: "Not bad, brother Maoli."
"Ah, that..." Mao Li couldn't say anything, and he couldn't say no at this time.
Conan pretended not to see Maori's fierce stare. At this time, he was really not afraid of Maori.
"Ice cream shop, I seem to have heard Yumi mention it." Officer Sato was moved.
The Mumu police department was considerate to his subordinates, "Okay, then we will not be polite, it will not take much time."
"Then we will be disrespectful." Shiratori Police Department responded to Officer Sato.
"Thank you then." Officer Chiba wiped off his sweat, he was fat again.
"Thank you, Mr. Mori." Officer Takagi said with a smile.
"You're welcome." Maori replied weakly, feeling a little heartbroken.
Conan smiled and said, "I'll inform Sister Lan."
Huiyuan stepped up, "I will notify Dr. Ali."
Mao Li almost fell down, why did another one come, "Ice cream is sweet."
"It's okay, it's okay to indulge once in a while." Huiyuan went to make a phone call.
Maori was speechless, and when Maori followed Conan into the ice cream shop, his heart suddenly turned cold, because this is a high-end ice cream shop, not the one on the roadside where you can spend a few hundred yen for one.
Not long after, Yamazaki and Hondo Eisuke arrived first. Looking at the attitude in the store, they couldn't help laughing.
Conan asked casually, "Where's Sister Lan?"
Hondo Eisuke smiled and said, "They went to find Aunt Yingli."
Then, Dr. Ali arrived, sweating profusely and out of breath. He was greeted by Hui Yuan and sat down happily.
And along with Fei Yingli came Shiratori Sara, and then at Sonoko's suggestion, Officer Sato notified Officer Yumi.
By the time Officer Yumi arrived, the Detective Boys had already been eating for a long time.
After thanking Police Officer Yumi, he unceremoniously ordered several kinds, and helped the police order some more.
After the policemen had finished eating, thanked them and left, Maori immediately announced that it was over.
It's just that Sonoko, Conan, and Huiyuan ordered another copy for everyone when they left at the Mumu Police Department.
However, Yamazaki didn't want it, it's not that he didn't know, just one serving was enough, while Dr. Ali wanted it but was not allowed, and the indulgence was just a joke.
In the final settlement, 19 people spent nearly 120,000 yen, and the gross profit was 20,000 yen. Among them, police officer Yumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi all ate tens of thousands of yen without restraint. ...
