My neighbor's name is Conan

According to the content on Daijiro Manaka's information card, Aoki Matsu led the Junior Detective Team to the top floor of a building, which was obviously a place for rent.

"So Mr. Manaka is a painter." Mitsuhiko exclaimed.

"But he doesn't seem to be famous at all." The owner led them in and described the occupant of the room.

After walking in, Ayumi saw the paintings in the room and couldn't help but praise: "What beautiful paintings."

"Each of them is a good painting, simple and plain." Mitsuhiko also praised it, "It's very beautiful."

"Oh, Mr. Manaka seems to have real talent." Aoki Matsuya looked at every painting displayed in the house. In time, maybe they will become world-famous.

However, there is so much water in this business, just like in antiques.

There are not many painters who became famous during their lifetime in history. Most of them lived in poverty all their lives and became famous after their death.

why?

In addition to opportunities, it is also inseparable from a group of calligraphy and painting dealers who hype paintings.

After all, when a painter dies, the paintings he leaves behind in the world become limited. As long as they are well packaged, they can become unique pieces handed down from generation to generation.

However, Aoki Matsu can still tell whether a simple painting is good or not. Manaka Daijiro's paintings are indeed very good, at least they are pleasing to the eye.

"He is a very serious person. He doesn't mind if it takes him half a year to finish a painting." The landlord seemed to be very impressed by this, but then she changed the subject and complained, "No wonder he can't even pay the rent."

When Qing Musong heard this, he noticed something was wrong and asked quickly, "Is his financial situation not good?"

The landlady was about to answer, but at this moment, a vulgar voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Manaka Daijiro."

Two people came into the room, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin. They looked sloppy in vertical striped suits and big gold necklaces, and they looked like they were not someone you would mess with.

"Please spend all your money today." The speaker was the short yellow-haired man.

The tall bald man also responded, "The total including principal and interest is two million." He didn't seem anxious or threatening, as if he was just narrating a story.

Seeing this, Qing Musong thought, "They seem to be the ones who are responsible for collecting money."

"Mr. Manaka is not here right now." The landlady approached with her hands on her hips, looking unhappy that they had come.

"Qi, we will come again." Then the two turned and left.

"Wait, how much money does Mr. Manaka owe you? How is the interest calculated?" Aoki Matsu looked at the two of them and asked.

The two men stared at Qing Musong like hungry wolves. "You are his relative. Do you want to pay off his debt?"

Seeing this, Qing Musong took out his criminal certificate and said, "Criminal, please answer truthfully."

The two took a look at Aoki Song's criminal certificate, and their arrogance was instantly suppressed. They said honestly: "Masaka Daijiro owes us 200 million including principal and interest. We are not a loan shark. The interest is the interest of a commercial loan."

200 million in debt.

For ordinary workers, it may not be possible to save that much even if they live frugally for a year, unless of course they are super frugal.

What’s more, there is someone like Daijiro Manaka who has no stable source of income.

In this way, Aoki Matsu's previous speculation about Manaka Daijiro has a basis.

Daijiro Manaka wanted to take crooked paths because he owed money.

"I see." Qing Musong thought for a moment and said deliberately, "Mr. Zhenzhong was injured by a steel bar today and was admitted to the hospital. It wasn't you who did it!"

"We didn't do it. We just want him to pay back the money as soon as possible. We dare not kill him for money. What good will it do us to kill him? Even taking him to the red-light district is better than killing him!" The short man quickly protested his injustice.

Qing Musong looked at the two of them deliberately after hearing this and said, "Okay, I trust you for now. Leave your phone number. I may come back to question you later. Then you can leave."

The two men cursed their bad luck in their hearts when they heard this, but they still obediently gave their business cards.

After all, Aoki Matsu is a criminal, not an ordinary policeman. The criminal is responsible for major cases. If the two are really involved, the people behind them may not protect them.

After giving the business card, the two left immediately.

Aoki Matsu looked at the landlady and continued to ask, "Has Mr. Manaka done anything unusual recently?"

The landlady thought for a moment and replied, "If Mr. Manaka has any problem, I think it's his debts. Those two come to him every day to collect the debts."

"If his problem is debt, then that's not something the Junior Detective Team can solve." Yuan Tai said somewhat depressed.

"But we can't just give up because of this, right?" Mitsuhiko didn't want to give up.

"Doesn't Mr. Manaka know anyone who can lend him money?" Ayumi felt sorry for Mr. Manaka, so she asked. In her opinion, when you have difficulties, you should look for relatives and friends.

"He has no family." The landlady thought for a moment and said, "Although there seems to be an uncle around, no matter how many times he asks, the other party seems unwilling to lend a penny." The landlady said this with a look of helplessness on her face.

Sayuri heard this and said, "That uncle doesn't have much money, right?" If that's the case, it's understandable.

It's impossible for me to let my whole family starve just for my nephew.

Unexpectedly, the landlady said, "He is a wealthy man, Mr. Ginlin who owns a big mansion in Beihanan-cho."

"Yanka Minami-cho..."

The kids began to recall the residents over there.

Yuan Tai was the first to think of it. "Yes, yes, it's a big mansion with Yin Lin's name on the doorplate."

The landlady continued gossiping, "He also has no family and is alone. Since he is the only nephew who is related to him by blood, it doesn't matter if he is treated better to him."

At this point, the landlady sounded somewhat dissatisfied. As for letting her only nephew borrow money and still default on the rent?

A stingy person, a miser who never spends a penny, what’s the point of keeping the money?

However, Aoki Matsu noticed the key point in the landlady's words: "The only blood relative." In other words, if Mr. Ginlin died, then Manaka Daijiro would be able to inherit his estate.

Not to mention other things, just that big mansion, at least more than 2 million yen. Could this be the truth? Mr. Manaka didn't want to commit suicide, but wanted to kill his uncle Mr. Ginbayashi? ! 】

"What's wrong with you, Mitsuhiko?" Yuanta asked curiously.

Mitsuhiko looked deep in thought and did not answer Genta's words.

After everyone thanked the landlady and left, Mitsuhiko said, "Brother Aoki, I finally know."

"Can you tell me how to solve Mr. Manaka's debt problem?" Ayumi asked.

"That's not there yet." Mitsuhiko said a little embarrassedly.

Yuan Tai, who was impatient, couldn't wait and asked directly: "Then what do you know?"

"I was wondering why Mr. Manaka walked on that road at that time!" Mitsuhiko said seriously.

"Oh..." Aoki Matsu blinked. Could it be that Mitsuhiko also figured it out?

I glanced at Conan secretly, and his expression showed that he thought the same.

So everyone remained silent, waiting for Mitsuhiko's answer.

"Mr. Manaka was about to go to his uncle's house in Beihanan-cho. Needless to say, his purpose was that no matter how many times he asked, the other party was unwilling to lend him money, which made him very dissatisfied." Mitsuhiko concluded seriously, "So he planned to go to that house and commit suicide!"

"..."

Aoki Matsu and Conan rolled their eyes upon hearing this.

Alas, it turns out that the world of children is still very simple and they don’t think so badly of others.

"So that's it!" Yuan Tai agreed with a look of sudden enlightenment.

Conan shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mitsuhiko, your reasoning can't explain the whole thing. If you want to make his uncle, Mr. Yinlin, feel guilty or give him a bad reputation.

There shouldn't be a suicide note that says, "I'm tired of living in this world anymore." Instead, it should say, "It's because my uncle didn't lend me money that I can't live anymore." 】

"Let's go to Mr. Yinlin's house." Qing Musong said.

No matter what Daijiro Manaka was thinking, at least he hadn't committed the crime yet, so the crime was completely preventable.

The solution to this problem lies in Mr. Yinlin.

However, Aoki Matsu didn't know the other party's true attitude. Was it because Manaka Daijiro went against the wishes of his elders and insisted on doing art, or was it because the older generation hated Manaka Daijiro because of their grudges...

However, since something happened to Manaka Daijiro, his only blood relative, it was reasonable for Aoki Matsu to come to him.

On the way to find Mr. Ginlin, Aoki Matsu asked Mizumoto Yuki to help look up this person's information.

Ginbayashi Daizo, the president of Ginbayashi General Industry, is indeed a wealthy man.

Afterwards, Aoki Matsu visited the Ginlin family and was unexpectedly not rejected by Ginlin Daizang.

After Aoki Matsu explained his purpose, Ginbayashi Daizo and his secretary Hinuma Kazuo were both very surprised.

"Are you saying that Mr. Daijiro attempted suicide?" Hinuma Kazuo was shocked.

Qing Musong nodded. "Although he has temporarily lost his memory, once his memory is restored he may..."

At this time, the impatient Yuan Tai said with a serious face: "The problem lies in the debt. As long as you are willing to pay money to help him solve this problem..."

Before Yuan Tai could finish, Yin Lin Da Zang put on an attitude of keeping people away from him and said, "I have no intention of helping him!"

"President?!" Hinuma Kazuo was shocked when he heard that.

Seeing this, Conan relied on the fact that he was a child. There were some things that Aoki Matsu could not say, but he could.

Even though it was so obvious now, Conan didn't believe that Aoki Matsu didn't see it. It was just that Aoki Matsu couldn't say it out loud because of his profession.

So Conan went up by himself. "It's not too late to help him now."

"As for the debt, even if you have no obligation to help him pay it back, Mr. Manaka is in such a state now. If you don't care, Mr. Manaka will be kicked out of the hospital." Aoki Matsu said calmly, "After all, as far as I know, Mr. Manaka has not purchased national health insurance."

It is said that medical treatment in Japan is relatively cheap, and you can even get credit, but that is only for people who have purchased national health insurance. For those who do not have national health insurance, medical expenses are very expensive, and hospitals will not give credit.

Yinlin Dazang curled his lips and said, "He deserves it! After graduating from university, Daijiro went to work in a bank. I was really happy at that time because I thought that one day, he would inherit my company.

But that guy quit after working for half a year, saying that he wanted to realize his childhood dream of becoming a painter. Why should I help such a willful guy who did whatever he wanted and let me down? "

Ayumi said weakly: "But you are his uncle."

"The last time that guy came here was last month." Mr. Yinlin said, "He came to borrow money from me. A grown man actually knelt on the ground to beg for money. He was really pathetic. I wanted to sympathize with him once. As long as he swore that he would never be a painter again, I would be willing to pay him any amount of money."

Ginlin Daizo said angrily: "But he made a bold statement, saying, 'I will never borrow money from a city cypress like you again, so who would ask you for money again?' That's what he said.

I had already said I would help him, but that idiot refused outright, so I angrily said, "If you have the guts, don't let me see you again," and he left. "

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu and Conan sighed inwardly.

It seems that the reason why Daijiro Manaka wanted to kill his uncle was not just because of money, but also because of the resentment he felt when the other party humiliated him.

"Okay, it's almost time for me to go to the company, Hinuma, please see me off." Ginlin Daizang stood up and said.

"But President..." Hinuma Kazuo tried to persuade him, but was interrupted by Ginbayashi Daizo, "That guy is always holding on to his dream. If he continues to dream, it doesn't matter whether he starves to death or commits suicide."

Aoki Matsu frowned when he heard this.

Several members of the Junior Detective Team were also somewhat dissatisfied. They stood up and looked at him and shouted, "Mr. Yinlin!"

"Mr. Yinlin, do you really not care about Mr. Manaka?" Aoki Songya stood up and looked at him and said, "Your eyes flickered just now, and you were obviously lying. If you really didn't care about him, you wouldn't be willing to meet us just because I said it was about Mr. Manaka. I hadn't shown the criminal certificate at that time."

After a pause, Aoki Matsu continued, "Mr. Yinlin, I am also a young man, and I can roughly understand Mr. Manaka's pursuit of his dream. The older generation and the younger generation always have different views on things. If you think Mr. Manaka has no future in painting, that's fine.

But I don't think it's a problem for Mr. Manaka to pursue his dream. If you had just sat down and talked it out, you wouldn't have gotten to this point. And, Mr. Yinlin, do you think that if you let Mr. Manaka go and let him get hurt in reality, will he really recognize the reality and give up painting and come back to inherit Yinlin Company?"

Hearing this, Yinlin Dazang turned to Qingmu Song and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Tomisawa Group, you should have heard about what happened to Chairman Tomisawa before!" Aoki Matsu looked at Ginrin Daizo and asked back.
