Chapter 587: Attack of Poker Cards

Wednesday, April 29, at noon, outside Mihua Station.

When Conan arrived, he found that Dr. Ari hadn't arrived yet, and Genta and Mitsuhiko were eating cold drinks, sitting back to back on a bench watching Ayumi play a video game console, a fortune-telling game.

"Ah, Conan, you're here." Ayumi pointed at the game console and smiled happily, "That's just right, look, you and I are very suitable for Conan."

Yuan Tai said in surprise: "Ah? That game console must be broken."

"That's not what you said, Genta," Mitsuhiko said, waving the cold drink in his hand, "Originally, poker divination and so on are all nonsense."

"Okay, let me do the math for Conan too." Ayumi said.

"Hey, hey, don't tell other people's fortunes without permission, okay?" Conan muttered.

Not long after, the results came in, A's hunch.

Conan raised his triangular eyes. How old is this game console?

"Hey, hello, what does this mean?" Ayumi asked.

"Well, what does A mean? That is to say, in front of B." Mitsuhiko said.

"It means fried shrimp." Yuan Tai said.

"What, it doesn't mean Kiss." Ayumi complained.

"What does Kiss mean?" Yuan Tai asked.

"You don't need to know that." Mitsuhiko called.

At this time, Dr. Ali came running, "Sorry, sorry, I'm late, the sink drain is blocked."

The four members of the detective team shouted together: "Really, you are too slow, doctor."

"I'm really sorry." Dr. A Li said, "Don't talk about this, let's go."...

After one o'clock in the afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Seeing Maoli and Yamazaki coming back, Lan informed them that a gentleman named Xu Shengyi asked them to come over as soon as possible.

"Xu Shengyi, I remember that is the name of the owner of the Tokyo Bay Sea Amusement City that will open in two days." Mao Li touched his chin and said, "It would be great if it was him."

"Dad." Lan shouted dissatisfied.

"I know, I know, I'll go and see whether it's true or not." Maori said, and then asked, "By the way, Lan, where are you going with this kind of going-out clothes?"

Lan said: "Oh, Yuanzi asked Mei Daizi and me to go to her house for afternoon tea, and we'll be back after four o'clock in the afternoon."

"So that's how it is," Mao Li said with a smile, "Don't eat too much fat."

"You don't have to worry about it." Lan said a little angrily.

"Okay, okay, I don't care." Mori smiled, and then said to Yamazaki, "Let's go."...

Nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, Dongdu Aviation Museum.

Looking at all kinds of planes, Mitsuhiko exclaimed happily: "It's great, there are all kinds of planes."

Looking at the introduction brochure, Yuantai said: "It seems that you can simulate flying a helicopter here, it should be very interesting."

"It's a pity, to simulate flying a helicopter, at least the fifth grade of elementary school is required," Conan said, "It's written in this booklet."

The three of Yuan Tai took a closer look, and complained together: "It's true."

Dr. Ali said: "Then let me tell you something interesting.

"

"No, now it's riddle time." Mitsuhiko said.

"Riddle?" Dr. A Li said to himself, "Is this popular now?"

The riddle is that three children born on New Year's Day, April Fool's Day and Japan's Children's Day have a meeting together. What kind of meeting is it? The hint is that it is an animal that flies in the sky like an airplane.

Conan guessed it out, adding up the birth dates of the three people on January 1st, April 1st, and May 5th, it was October 7th, which was homophonic for reindeer.

"Reindeer?" Yuan Tai didn't understand.

Ayumi said: "It is the animal that pulls Santa's sleigh and flies in the sky at Christmas."

Mitsuhiko said, "That's right."

"It turned out to be this." Genta said, and then inadvertently found a middle-aged man there, took a closer look and smiled, "Look, that's the photographer, Mr. Shishido Yongming."

"Who is it?" Conan asked.

"The photographer who took pictures of Yuantai's restaurant." Ayumi said, "That photo was even published in a magazine."

Mitsuhiko said to Conan in a low voice: "Actually, they took photos of that street, but they just put Yuantai's house in the middle."

Afterwards, Dr. Ali led the detective team to stroll around the museum for an afternoon. ...

After two o'clock in the afternoon, outside Xu's house.

"It's such a big house, it seems to be the rich man." Mao Li said with a smile, "Come on, it seems that there is a big business."

Soon after, in the back garden of Xu's house.

After the concierge gave their names, Mori and Yamazaki were brought here by the security guards to meet Asahi Katsuyoshi. He sat at the table drinking red wine, and a sommelier stood beside him.

"That's Mr. Fairy Sawaki." Mori whispered to Yamazaki.

"Welcome, welcome, you are Maori detective, right? I'm Asahi Katsuyoshi," Asahi Katsuyoshi stood up and said, "I happened to encounter a very difficult matter, and Sawaki recommended you. You must help me." OK."

"Please don't worry, Mr. Asahi," Mouri said proudly, "As long as I, Mori Kogoro, are involved, there will be no problem that cannot be resolved."

"That would be great, come here, please sit down." Asahi Katsuyoshi said, "Sawaki, pour the wine."

After a while, after hearing the content of the commission, Mao Li spit out the red wine from his mouth, "You said your pet lizard ran into the garden, and you want me to find it?"

"It's not just a pet, it's a feng shui object, which is very important to me." Xu Shengyi said, "So please, Maori Detective."

Afterwards, Mori and Yamazaki went to catch the lizard. Nearly two hours later, they finally found the lizard on a tree, and when they came back, Sawaki Fair was no longer there. ...

At around 4:40 pm, Maori Detective Agency.

Seeing Maoli and Yamazaki come back, Lan smiled and said, "Ah, you are back." Then he asked, "Dad, is that Mr. Asahi, what happened?"

"Hmph, he's a stingy guy." Maori said.

"It's that rich man, Mr. Asahi, but it's just a commission to find a pet." Yamazaki said with a smile, "The commission fee is 50,000 yen."

"Fifty thousand yen? That's a lot." Lan laughed.

Yamazaki said: "By the way, we saw Mr. Sawaki there, but we didn't say anything." Then he briefly talked about the matter.

"It turned out to be recommended by Mr. Sawaki." Lan said, "Dad, you should thank him well next time. Last time you had dinner with your mother thanks to him."

"Hmph, who wants to thank him, that bottle of red wine cost me 400,000 yen." Mao Li said angrily.

"Dad." Lan shouted dissatisfied.

"Let's talk about it when we meet," Maori said.

At this time, Conan came back, "I'm back."

Yamazaki looked at the time, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, "Uncle, I'm going back."...

In the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

Mei Daizi received a call from Yuanzi looking for Lan, so she handed the phone to Lan.

Lan asked, "Yuanzi, what's the matter?"

Sonoko asked Lan to press the speakerphone first, and then said with a smile, "Lan, Mr. Nishina of yours will be signing books at a bookstore in Shinjuku tomorrow afternoon."

"Really?" Lan said happily, "Then you can go with me tomorrow." She said and looked at Mei Daizi.

"No problem." Mei Daizi said.

"Hey, Sister Lan," Conan asked, "Who is Mr. Nishina?"

"It's Mr. Minoru Nishina, the author of the cooking book I'm reading now." Lan smiled.

"That's right," Conan said.

After that, the three of Yuanzi agreed to go there after school tomorrow, and then ended the call. ...

Thursday, April 30, afternoon, Shinjuku.

Sonoko, Lan, and Mei Daiko brought Yamazaki, and Conan who had been waiting for them after school, to Nishina Minoru's book signing venue. Seeing the long line, Lan had no choice but to stay here and line up, so Conan also stayed. Sonoko, Mei Daizi, and Yamazaki took their schoolbags to the next rest area and sat down.

After more than 20 minutes, Lan finally got the book, "Mr. Nishina, I hope you can write more 'delicious' books in the future."

"Delicious book?" Nishina Minoru smiled and said, "It's really a good name, thank you."

After leaving the bookstore, a red gemstone scooter drove over and parked in the parking area in front of the bookstore.

"That's it," Lan said happily, "Miss Nana Koyamauchi, a famous model."

"I don't like her, Mr. Nishina is more handsome than in the photo, I like that type." Sonoko said, "Let's go, it's time to go back." He said and left first.

On the way, Mei Daizi said: "By the way, Lan, Miss Xiaoshan, I went to your house last time."

"What!" Lan asked unexpectedly, "Why didn't I know this?"

Yamazaki said: "Because she left after seeing that you were not here, and didn't leave a message, so I didn't tell my uncle."

"Aren't we here?" Lan asked, "What day?"

Mei Daizi smiled and said, "It's the day when Uncle got stuck with a fishbone, and you sent him to the hospital, she came right after you left."

"Speaking of which, Lan, you have worked really hard." Yuanzi said with emotion, "Your mother ran away from home ten years ago."

"Yes, when I was seven years old, I still remember that they had a big quarrel, and the reason for the separation seemed to be personality differences." Lan said a little disappointed.

"It didn't take long after that for your mother to make her mark in the legal profession, and finally became the undefeated queen of the legal profession in Tokyo, but your father quit his job as a criminal police officer and went to open the detective office next to Mei Daizi's house, which was struggling. office." Sonoko said, "By the way, it's finally better now, and the sleeping Kogoro can be regarded as a famous detective in Tokyo, but he has a reputation of bringing bad things to the client, so the business is obviously not good. It would be much better. And he likes to drink and is too lazy to do housework, I think without Lan you, he would be buried in the garbage every day with cockroaches."

"No way, Dad is so bad." Lan smiled, then sighed, "Maybe it's really a personality mismatch, or Dad wouldn't make Mom angry every time."

Yuanzi said: "Then there's no personality incompatibility, it's simply not being an aunt."

Mei Daizi asked back: "But don't uncle care about the wedding ring?"

"Well, this," Yuanzi thought for a while and said, "That's true." Then he patted Lan on the shoulder, "I see, your father must have that awkward personality."

"You're the one with the awkward personality." Lan laughed.

"That's all right, don't be frowning, you will find another chance in the future." Yuanzi smiled.

"That's true." Lan smiled, then looked at a cafe and asked, "By the way, Mr. Nishina often hangs around restaurants and restaurants in the streets and alleys, and will write restaurants and restaurants with delicious food in the book, He recommended this store in his book, how about we try it?"

"Okay." Sonoko said.

Soon after, in a booth in the cafe.

Sipping a special drink, Lan asked, "How about it, what do you think?"

Mei Daizi said: "It looks good, but it doesn't taste like what you said, I can't bear to put it down or something."

Sonoko said: "I think so too. It's not as delicious as Miss Yuko's, but it's really pretty."

"That's good, I thought there was something wrong with me," Lan said, "I also feel that it's not as tasty as I thought."

Conan said: "Sister Lan, it's because you read the beautiful pictures in the book, so you think too much about it."

"Everyone has different preferences. There is a saying that it is pleasing to the eye. Its appearance adds a lot to its taste. Maybe others feel good about it." Yamazaki said, "And in terms of price, the price/performance ratio is not bad."

"That's true." Lan smiled.

"By the way, Mei Daizi, it seems that the things in your restaurant are not very good." Yuanzi smiled, "Not even this..."

"Nonsense." Mei Daizi took out her mobile phone to contact Miyamoto Miko, and then pressed the hands-free button, "Mom, do you know Mr. Nishina Minoru who wrote the cooking book?"

"Nishina Minoru? Do you want to ask why Mei Dai Restaurant didn't appear in his book?" Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "That's because those restaurants and restaurants all paid a retouching fee, which is a kind of advertisement."

"Huh?" Lan was taken aback, "So it's all false?"

"It's not fake, and I can't say it's a lie. If it's true, there won't be so many book fans like Lan." Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "For ordinary people, the restaurants and restaurants he recommends are all good. Yes, it suits them well."

"So that's how it is," Sonoko said.

"It sounds like which cafe are you at now?" Miko Miyamoto said, "It's getting late, come back soon."

"Yes, go back right away." Mei Daizi said.

"I hung up the phone." Miko Miyamoto said.

"Mom, goodbye." Mei Daizi finished speaking and hung up the phone.

"Let's go," Yamazaki said. ...

After six o'clock in the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

The Shiratori police department made a call to Mori's mobile phone and asked him to come to the Green Taiwan Police Hospital. The Megure police department had an incident to find him, so Mori and Yamazaki went there.

After seven o'clock in the evening, Lutai Police Hospital.

Shiratori Police Department picked up Mori and Yamazaki at the door, and then took them to a ward, "Mr. Mori, you can see for yourself." He said and pushed the door open.

Looking at the person on the hospital bed, Mori and Yamazaki were taken aback, "Megure Police Department!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down." Mumu Police Department laughed, "Most people don't know I'm here now, and it will be troublesome if I let the media know. Come in quickly."

"Media?" Maori said, "I remember there was a news in today's evening paper, saying that someone was attacked by a bird crossbow during morning exercise. Could it be that..." He walked into the ward, and Yamazaki followed him.

"Yes, the attack on the serving police department will arouse the enthusiasm of the media, so we temporarily blocked the news." The Shiratori police department entered the ward and closed the door.

"How's your injury?" Molly asked.

"It didn't hit a vital point, and it won't be life-threatening, but it needs to be hospitalized for a few days." Mumu Police Department laughed.

"Or the gangster did not take the life of Police Department Mumu on purpose." Police Department Shiratori took out a bird crossbow with crossbow arrows, "I bought this according to the murder weapon left at the scene, no matter whether it is on the arrow poison, or replace it with a three-edged bloodletting arrow, it can kill people."

"Then, this is a warning," Maori said.

"At present, our police have not received any statement from any organization or individual," Shiratori Police Department added, "Officer Matsumoto is leading people to track down the past incidents handled by the Megure Police Department to see who might do such a thing. "

"So you're looking for me?" Molly asked.

"We found a paper sword at the scene, which may have been left by the criminals." Meguro Police Department said, "After inspection, it may be the thirteenth card of spades on the playing card, the sword in the king's hand."

"The thirteenth card of spades," read Maori.

"Hearts represent love, diamonds represent money, clubs represent happiness," Shiratori added, "and spades represent death."

"My name happens to be Thirteen, I don't think it's necessarily a coincidence." Megure Police Department said, "And Maori, you have a 'five' in your name, and you have worked with me, maybe that guy will find you you."

"I understand, I will be careful, thank you." Mao Li said seriously, and then continued, "By the way, there is a 'three' in the name added by the Shiratori Police Department, so..."

The White Bird Police Department added: "Yes, I may also be the target of the attack, so I was left here."

"So that's how it is." Maori said, and then asked the Megure Police Department, "Speaking of which, since when did you have the habit of doing morning exercises?"

"Ah, well, once in a while, sometimes." Megure police department smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "Okay, you can go, be careful these days."

"I see, take a good rest." Maori said. ...

On the way home, in the back seat of a taxi.

"Don't tell Lan about this for now." Mao Li said solemnly.

"I understand." Yamazaki said, "But, uncle, you can stay at home."

"I know." Molly said. ...
