Chapter 473: The Entrustment of the Endo Family

Monday, July 21, at 8:30 p.m. Endo Dental Clinic.

After sitting apart, before Mr. Endo could ask, Mori "betrayed" Conan, "If what this kid said is true, I will do my best for you."

Mr. Endo said: "So that's it, Conan heard me talking on the phone."

Lan said, "I'm sorry, this kid has always been very curious."

Conan straightened his triangular eyes and laughed dryly to show his apology for his impoliteness.

"It doesn't matter, if it wasn't like this, I wouldn't be allowed to run into Detective Mori." Mr. Endo said, "Oh, yes, Mr. Mori, maybe the prisoner didn't come out to see me just because he saw you."

"Really?" Maori smiled, "I'm really sorry."

However, Conan didn't see where Maori showed an embarrassed expression, and he seemed quite complacent. Then I thought, maybe the prisoner didn't intend to get the ransom today, and the prisoner asked Mr. Endo to go to the beer hall to observe him from a certain place, so as to make sure whether he had called the police.

"Please don't say that, it's my good fortune to meet Mr. Mori at this time." Mr. Endo begged, "I will trouble Mr. Mori about Keita's affairs."

"You are being polite." Maori said, "Please tell me what happened."

"My son's name is Keita. He was playing alone in the front yard this afternoon, but he wasn't there when I looked for him." Mr. Endo said, "Then I found this note." As he spoke, he took out a note from his pocket.

"If you call the police, he will die, and we will contact you again." Maori picked it up and read, and then said, "This paper is ordinary copy paper." Then he asked, "Since you will appear there, it is later The prisoner has contacted you, what did he say to you?"

"It was a young man who called. He asked me to put 30 million old banknotes in the box and pay the ransom at the beer hall." Mr. Endo said, "The other party instructed me so, but in my Waiting for the ransom to be paid and then getting the call that the deal was temporarily cancelled, that's what the kid heard."

Mao Li asked: "Did the prisoner say when the next transaction will be made?"

Mr. Endo said: "I didn't say the specific time, just said that I will wait at home tomorrow."

Mori asked, "By the way, did you hear Keita's voice when they first called you?"

"Yes, yes," Mr. Endo said, "I begged that man for a long time before he let Keita talk to me."

Maori asked: "So, what do you think of Keita's condition at that time? Was it injured?"

"Well," Mr. Endo thought for a while and said, "Keita's voice was unexpectedly cheerful, and he didn't feel a little scared at all."

"What?" Maori was taken aback, and then asked angrily, "Is this a prank by your relatives?" Then he said with a dry smile, "Just kidding, just kidding." Then he said, "Because it's weird, usually For example, children will cry and want to find their mother."

"His mother passed away." Mr. Endo said sadly.

"Ah? Sorry," Maori said quickly, "I'm so sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Mr. Endo said, "That's why Keita has always been very familiar with the teachers in the kindergarten or the wives of the neighbors nearby.

"

"So that's what happened." Maori said, "I understand now, maybe this prisoner has an accomplice, and it's also a woman who is used to raising children, and it is very likely that this woman will take care of Keita."

Maybe his uncle was right, Conan thought, and maybe it was someone Keita knew, that’s why he walked out of the yard and the woman without yelling. Less chance of being abused on the hands.

Maori said: "Mr. Endo, to be honest, I think this kind of thing should be contacted with the police."

"It is absolutely impossible to do this. If the police intervene, it is indeed possible to catch the prisoner, but," Mr. Endo said worriedly, "but there is no guarantee that Keita will return safely."

"But..." Maori thought to himself, it would be troublesome if the Mumu Police Department found out later.

"Mr. Mori, I can only put my hope on you now, so," Mr. Endo bowed his head and begged, "So please make sure Keita comes back safely. Can you please do me a favor?"

"What about this?" Maori thought about it.

Mr. Endo said, "By the way, Detective Maori, I am willing to take one tenth of the ransom as your commission fee." He opened the box.

"Shua!" Looking at the box full of money, Mao Li immediately showed his money eyes, and threw the Mumu police department behind him.

Mr. Endo asked, "How is it, Mr. Mori?"

Mao Li grabbed Mr. Endo's hand and said with a very enthusiastic smile: "I understand, in fact, it is our side who took the initiative to talk about this matter this time, I will definitely try my best, no, I will definitely solve this case satisfactorily of."

Lan and Conan turned their faces away.

Mr. Endo said, "Thank you so much."

"By the way, this is my business card." Mao Li said, "We'll go back tonight first. Tomorrow those prisoners will definitely take the initiative to contact you by phone. You can call me then."

"Yes, I see." Mr. Endo closed the box and took the business card.

Maori said: "By the way, Mr. Endo, please give me some pictures of Keita."

"I forgot." Mr. Endo went to get the photo, and Conan took the opportunity to stick the patch tracker on the bottom of the box.

Mr. Endo took out the photo album, "Which one do you think is better?"

Maori thought for a while, took twelve photos, "I will definitely be responsible for bringing Keitai back safely." Then he bid farewell to Mr. Endo and left. ...

Before nine thirty in the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

Miko Miyamoto received a call from Misa Horiuchi, "Madam, Hokkaido Takusan Bank is still bankrupt."

Miyamoto Miko asked: "What's going on? Has the stock not been suspended?"

"Yes, the stock market was suspended urgently this afternoon." Horiuchi Misa said, "But the people I sent to Hokkaido Tuozan Bank did a preliminary inventory of Hokkaido Tuozan Bank's assets based on the closing price at noon. I found out that Hokkaido Takusan Bank has actually gone bankrupt. If this news breaks out, although it will not hit the financial market as hard as the news of bankruptcy, it is inevitable that the prices of financial stocks will plunge tomorrow." Then he asked, "Ma'am, what do we do now?"

Miko Miyamoto asked: "How many absolute non-performing assets are there?"

Horiuchi Misa said: "It is 500 billion yen more than our original estimate, and the initial estimate of absolute non-performing assets is about 3.5 trillion yen."

Miko Miyamoto asked, "Why is there such a difference?"

"Hokkaido Tuozan Bank's foreign business has been fully withdrawn, and more than 200 stores in China, many of which have become leased." Misa Horiuchi said, "This is where we made a mistake in our estimation."

"Then, report the news first, and then discuss the acquisition with them," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "The acquisition price is only one hundred yen."

"One hundred yen?" Horiuchi Misa asked, "What if the other party disagrees?"

Miyamoto Miko said with a smile: "Then let others carry the bad assets of 3.5 trillion yen."

"Yes, I understand." Horiuchi Misa smiled.

"Okay, let's talk about the rest after this matter is over." Miko Miyamoto said, "By the way, just give them one chance, and if they don't agree, don't talk about it."

"Yes, ma'am." Horiuchi Misa said, "Under the chain reaction, we have many opportunities for other companies."

"Then you should go to bed earlier." Miko Miyamoto hung up the phone, and then found that Maori led Lan and Conan in, so she asked, "Maori, what do you want to come here now?"

Mao Li smiled and said: "I just received a big commission, please tell Yamazaki, and ask him to come over later."

"Good evening, Auntie." Lan and Conan said.

"Well. Good evening." Miyamoto Miko said, and then asked: "Big incident? Is it the incident of this policeman?"

Maori said, "No, I have accepted another commission."

"Again?" Miko Miyamoto smiled, "You're really amazing."

"Of course." Molly smiled proudly, "This is a commission of three million yen."

"I see." Miko Miyamoto smiled, "I'll let him go after closing."

"Well, then I'll go first." After finishing speaking, Maori led Lan and Conan to leave. ...

At 10:20 p.m., Maori Detective Agency.

When Yamazaki came over, the three of Mori had just finished dinner.

Yamazaki heard Moori talk about Mr. Endo's incident, then looked at Keita's photo on the table and asked, "Uncle, how are you going to get it?"

"It's impossible for many people to know that Keita has a special affection for women, and he disappeared silently in his own yard. Maybe the prisoner is someone Keita knows. At least he knows that Keita will be very obedient when getting along with women. , that is to say, it is very likely to be someone nearby." Mao Li said, "I am relatively well-known, so it is not easy to investigate, you can help me investigate near Mr. Endo's house tomorrow."

Lan said, "Dad, you are amazing."

"This level of reasoning is nothing." Maori smiled proudly.

Yamazaki said: "Yes, I see, Uncle." He said and took a photo.

Lan asked, "Dad, who are you taking these photos for?"

"Please help the police." Maori smiled.

Lan asked, "Didn't you say you couldn't tell the police?"

"Just tell the street police that this is a kid who just got lost." Mao Li laughed.

Conan asked angrily, "What if the prisoner finds out?"

Lan asked, "Yes, Dad, what if we happened to ask the prisoner?"

"Uh, this, it shouldn't be such a coincidence?" Maori said, "Okay, I'll think of other ways." Then he went upstairs to take a bath, saying that he was thinking while taking a bath.

Seeing Lan went upstairs, Yamazaki asked, "How about the police incident?"

Conan sighed, briefly talked about what happened at Katsutoshi Teraoka's house today, and then said: "There is still another evidence, which is to investigate the footprints on the ground. Although it is a concrete floor, it is abandoned because of the relationship , with a little dust, you may be able to see where you stand from the footprints."

Yamazaki said: "It's too late now. So many people walked on it yesterday, it can be said to be covered. And there is a strong wind at the pier. After this day, the dust marks on the concrete floor may not be recognizable."

Conan sighed: "Yeah, I didn't notice it at the time."

"Okay, I'll go first." Yamazaki said. ...

Night, the Miyamoto family.

When Yamazaki got home, he rushed out and the phone rang. It was Olivia's, "I heard that Fengcai Bank Japan is going to acquire Hokkaido Takusan Bank and assume the debt?"

"That's right, I'm relenting." Miko Miyamoto said, "I'm going to spend this one hundred yen, and if they don't agree, let it go."

"I wanted to remind you that the Hokkaido Takusan Bank may have gone bankrupt." Olivia smiled, "It seems unnecessary now."

"Thank you." Miko Miyamoto smiled.

"Then don't bother." Olivia smiled. ...

Night, Maori's bedroom.

Conan just took a bath and couldn't fall asleep for a while. When he was staring at the ceiling with his arms on his head in a daze, he suddenly heard a strange dream from the sleeping Maori, "It's strange, why do things like to hide there."

"Uh, uncle didn't put some strange things in the video tape box, did he?" Conan muttered with a smile, "I'll take a good look at it tomorrow."...

The next day, Tuesday, July 22, at 6:40am, Maori Detective Agency.

Mao Li, Conan, and Lan got up very early today, and have already had breakfast.

Maori was reading the morning newspaper while waiting for Mr. Endo's call, Lan was cleaning up the housework, and Conan was idle in a daze.

Not long after, Conan thought of Maori's dream, opened the cabinet and began to check the video cassette box, picked it up and put it down.

After a while, Lan asked, "Conan, what are you doing?"

Conan glanced at Maori, seeing that he didn't pay attention to this side, he chuckled softly, "Sister Lan, Mr. Teraoka actually hid that gun in a videotape in his collection, right?"

"Mr. Teraoka didn't refute it, so it should be." Lan said, and then he reacted and asked in a low voice, "Conan, you mean..."

Conan laughed softly, "Sister Lan, do you think uncle has hidden something in it too?"

Lan chuckled and said, "At most it's private money."

At this time, Conan picked up another box of tapes, felt that the weight was wrong, and smiled in surprise, "No way." He took it out.

"Ah? Really hiding something? No way." Lan smiled in surprise, "Open it and have a look."...
