Chapter 626 But Next Time(1/2)

  "But Xiaoshu is really well-behaved," Bumi praised, "I didn't cry or make trouble."

“Did the murderer bury the body in the mountain?” Conan asked.

"I think it is," Mitsuhiko said seriously, "After arriving in the mountains, he moved that thing away and stayed away for more than 20 minutes before coming back."

“When we came back, when the truck stopped at the traffic light, we quickly got out of the car with Xiaoshu,” Bumei said, “Then we called Brother Chi.”

By the way, Maori Kogoro added some wine to Chi Feichi. After taking a sip of wine, he asked, "Do you know where the body is buried?"

"have no idea……"

Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Motota all shook their heads.

“That’s a bit difficult,” Mouri Kogoro touched his chin, “Even if you say you saw someone killing someone, but you can’t find a reasonable basis, you still can’t call the police.”

“The tarpaulin of that truck had holes, so I peeked outside and remembered the route.” Hiroki Sawada said childishly.

 Then, being ignored...

 “Well,” Mao Lilan comforted with a smile, “the little tree is the best!”

 Hiroki Sawada: “……”

 He really memorized the route!

 Conan also felt that it was the nonsense of a child. How could a one-and-a-half-year-old child memorize a one-way route that lasted nearly 90 minutes?

I guess I wanted to say that I saw shops and big trees or something.

Mouri Kogoro ignored a one-and-a-half-year-old child and asked Ayumi and the others, "Do you remember what the two people who quarreled said? Are there any clues?"

“Kurata Freight!” Mitsuhiko recalled, “They mentioned this.”

“The murderer seemed to call another person Director Suzuki,” Ayumi said.

Genta immediately answered, "He called the murderer President Kurata!"

“We also wrote down the license plate number of the truck,” Mitsuhiko added, “It’s Shinjuku license plate 1015!”

"It's late today. I'll go to the company called Kurata Freight tomorrow and ask." Kogoro Mori picked up the wine glass and took a big sip of wine. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with an intoxicated smile, "The fragrance is refreshing and clean, and the lingering fragrance after drinking is worthy of it.

It’s a famous wine that won the first-class gold medal at the Panama International Exposition!”

 “Dad, please be more restrained.” Mao Lilan reminded silently.

"I know!" Mouri Kogoro ate a piece of strawberry crystal cake, took another sip of wine, and said with a smile, "But I have been worried for so long tonight, so I want to drink two more glasses to calm my mood! It goes together like this.

, it feels really great!”

Chi Feichi took a silent sip of wine.

 His Maori teacher also said "I know it was wrong, but I will do it again next time" when it comes to drinking.

 Less than half an hour later, Kogoro Mouri banged his head on the table with a bang and left early.

Conan was stunned for a moment and looked up at the wine bottle.

  Thirty-year-old Baifen liquor, 53%...

 Uncle is still drinking sip after sip. Can he still go to investigate tomorrow?

 …

 The next day.

In front of the abandoned building, when Chi Feichi arrived with Hiroki Sawada, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi, and Conan had already arrived.

The reason for Mouri Kogoro's absence is: he had dinner after ten o'clock last night, and he drank a lot of wine, was hungover, sleepy, and lacked energy...

After Conan explained, he took out a business card and handed it to Chi Feichi, "Uncle Maoli also said that you are his disciple, and I will leave it to you to lead everyone to investigate such a small matter. This is his business card. If you want to find it,

If someone asks you something, just tell them that you are a disciple of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, and his fans will be happy to help."

Chi Feichi collected the business card and asked, "Where's the license plate number?"

Hiroki Sawada is very interested in this case.

He doesn't remember the details of this case, so he can just run along and treat it as a casual visit with Hiroki Sawada.

Although the cases in which he doesn't remember the plot are probably not that exciting in themselves, compared to those cases that are boring from the beginning, he can retain a little bit of hope.

"Uncle Maori called Police Officer Takagi to help investigate." Conan said more seriously, "It is indeed a delivery truck from a company called Kurata Freight."

 “Go in and have a look.”

Chi Feichi picked up Hiroki Sawada and took the other children into the building.

 There was no blood on the ground at the place where the crime happened according to Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Gentai.

"Is this where you are talking about?" Conan looked around and saw some scattered cargo boxes, but there was no blood on them.

 “Yeah!” Ayumi nodded.

Chi Feichi put down Hiroki Sawada, took out a small spray bottle from his coat pocket, sprayed some liquid on the ground, and stretched out his hand to block the light outside.

"Brother Chi, you also brought the luminol reagent..." Conan was secretly stunned. Chi Feichi always prepares the things that may be used for whatever he does. He is worthy of Dora A Chi, and as a detective

, he didn’t even think of bringing these before he came, so ashamed.

"Hmm." Chi Fei responded belatedly, and sprayed a lot of luminol reagent on the ground nearby. Looking at the fluorescent light, he said, "Looking at the blood spatter, it was caused by a heavy blow to the head with a blunt object.

"

“After the murderer disposed of the body, he came back here and cleaned the blood on the ground,” Conan looked at the cardboard boxes next to him, “and scattered these cardboard boxes here.”

Chi Feichi stood up. With this alone, he still couldn't call the police and file a case.

"I did some research before I came here. Kurata Freight is nearby," Mitsuhiko said, "We might as well go over and ask about the situation!"

Chi Feichi had no objection and took a group of naughty children to Cangtian Freight Company.

 …

"Sorry for disturbing you."

 The two young girls sitting at the front desk looked up and saw a young man in simple black casual clothes and a calm and calm expression walking through the door, and immediately stood up.

This was a completely subconscious move, and the three naughty children, Bumi, were stunned.

 It’s like welcoming a leader’s inspection...

Conan tugged at the corner of Chi Feichi's clothes and teased in a low voice, "Controller."

Having been with Chi Feichi for a long time, he was somewhat used to Chi Feichi's sense of oppression, but he could understand the feelings of the two female employees.

Just like when he was hospitalized last time, when he saw Chi Feichi and Hui Yuan Ai entering the door, his first feeling was, 'these two people are not here to visit, but to seek revenge.' The receptionist of this company suddenly looked up and saw

When Chi Fei came in late, the feeling was probably even stronger than when he was hospitalized...

Chi Feichi ignored Conan's teasing and handed Maori Kogoro's business card to the girl at the front desk, "Hello, I am the disciple of Maori Kogoro, the head of the Maori Detective Agency. My teacher is investigating an incident and asked me to understand.

Check out the situation with Kurata Freight."

“Ah...hello,” the girl at the front desk took the business card and looked down at it.

 “Is it the famous detective Mouri Kogoro?” The girl with long hair from behind also walked up to look at the business card.

“Um...did something happen to our company?” The girl at the front desk looked worried.

Chi Feichi explained, "Yesterday these children witnessed a strange case..."

“Ah!” Mitsuhiko pointed at the photo hanging on the wall and exclaimed, “That’s the person!”

Yuantai also saw the photo of the man with the mustache, "Brother Chi, this man is the murderer!"

“Sister, is this your boss, President Kurata?” Conan raised his head and asked.

 The girl at the front desk nodded, "That's right."

 “Where is he now?” Ayumi asked eagerly.

“Please take us to find him quickly!” Yuantai also urged.

“President Kurata only comes to the company every afternoon,” said the long-haired girl.

"Ah? We have to wait until the afternoon?" Mitsuhiko was also a little anxious, "Then the murderer would have escaped long ago!"

Chi Fei looked at the three children with his eyes, stopping them from fussing. After seeing that the three children had calmed down obediently, he turned to ask two female employees, "Is there anyone named Suzuki in your company?"

“Yes, our director’s surname is Suzuki.” The girl at the front desk turned around and walked to the photo wall, pointing to a photo. “This is a photo taken during our company dinner. The one on the far left is Director Suzuki.”

  Chi Feichi looked at the photo.

 There are not many employees in this company.

 In the photo, apart from the director named Suzuki, President Kurata, and the two female employees, there are only three male employees here.

The Suzuki director on the far left is standing slightly sideways, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking very elegant, holding a cigarette in his hand, and the ashtray on the low table in front of him is also filled with cigarette butts. At first glance, he is a

Old smoker.

“How is your relationship between Director Suzuki and President Kurata?”

"Although they were good friends who founded the company together, they had a lot of quarrels during this time," the long-haired girl recalled. "I heard that Director Suzuki wanted to go out and start his own company independently. I don't know the specific situation.
