Model worker and his little darling

Kagaya Banko nodded. "Yes, it would be best if we could find it today. If we can't, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here any longer."

This made Uncle Mori a little curious, "How could it be so serious?"

"Because my lover will email me tonight, and I'm afraid that email will be seen by my extremely jealous husband, my strict father-in-law, or my husband's gossipy brother."

Uncle Mori scratched his head awkwardly, "Then you should contact the other party quickly and tell him not to send you an email tonight."

Kagaya Banko looked sad. "He's the one who sends them to me. He almost never even glances at the ones I send. So there's no way I can contact him."

After some communication, the group confirmed that the phone was at home, so Uncle Mori began to probe among the family members.

My first stop was to visit the room of Kagaya Daisaku, Kagaya Banko's father-in-law, posing as her high school classmate, pretending to be there to see the renovations. The old man enthusiastically offered to play a bamboo flute tune for Uncle Mori.

Just as Xiaolan was making the call, the old man suddenly got up and went to the bathroom, leaving all four of them bewildered. It was clear, however, that the phone wasn't with him.

Our second stop was the room of the second son, Kariya Shigeie. Seeing the novel on the table, Xiaolan was very happy because the novel by the second son, Kariya Shigeie, was going to be adapted into a TV series soon.

Seeing this, Uncle Mori interrupted the two who were having a great chat and told Xiaolan to make a call right away. Just then, the second brother's phone vibrated; he had just received a call from the publishing house.

The four walked out of the room, and Uncle Mori was very disappointed. "The timing of these two events was too coincidental."

Conan quickly chimed in, "Yeah, coincidences happen all the time."

Ran glanced at Conan sideways, "Oh, isn't it just a coincidence because it's rare?"

"That's right...that's true."

After some casual conversation, the four of them went to the room of Kagaya Banko's husband, Kagaya Tsuguhiro. Finding no one home, Kagaya Banko immediately picked up Ran's phone and started making calls.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Conan sensed something was wrong; the doorbell had been ringing for far too long.

Upon reaching the entrance, Conan found two maids standing in the doorway. They opened the door but found no one there. The maids told Conan that this kind of thing happened from time to time, and it was probably a prank by the neighborhood children.

After investigating the three targets, Uncle Mori still had no clue.

However, at that moment, Kagaya Banko suddenly appeared with her phone. "Mr. Mori, I've found my phone. Thank you so much. I will definitely transfer the commission fee to you."

Seeing that the commission was complete, the three of them turned around and left without hesitation.

In the car, Uncle Mori was speechless. "What a boring case."

"Yeah, you might even be laughed at for being stupid behind your back."

Hearing Ran's sarcastic tone, Conan felt a little guilty. "Can I stay at Dr. Agasa's house tonight?"

"No, I have so much to talk to Conan about today."

Conan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately changed his tone, "Can I go for a little while? Because Dr. Agasa has fixed my detective badge."

……

As Professor Agasa meticulously examined Conan's equipment, Hiraki observed from the side.

After all, he's an FBI agent full of love and justice. Conan made such a big mistake this time, almost going blind, so of course he had to come and find out more.

If Dr. Agasa has a sudden flash of inspiration and comes up with something great, he can pack it up and take it with him, so that the organization can improve upon it and strive to make it great.

After much fuss, Dr. Agasa announced that there were no problems.

"Doctor, are you sure? Last time Conan was locked in the closet, the spare tracking glasses didn't work. Are you sure you didn't take the wrong ones this time? Why don't you look carefully? Maybe the bulletproof glasses accidentally fell under the table or something."

Hearing this, Haibara shook her head, "Ayumi and I searched, but we found nothing."

Haibara acknowledges the detective team's ability to find things.

"The problem lies with the doctor's invention."

Upon hearing Hirai question his abilities, Professor Agasa was instantly displeased and determined to find out the reason behind it.

Seeing that Professor Agasa was getting carried away, Hirai and Ai Haibara sat down and chatted.

Not long after, Conan suddenly appeared.

"Conan, weren't you supposed to be investigating a case with that old man? What are you doing here?"

Conan said dejectedly, "Oh no, Ran is starting to suspect me again, and she's waiting for me outside now."

Just as I was about to ask Conan to explain in detail, my attention was drawn to what was on TV.

"...A body was found inside a parked car beside the Tsubatsu River embankment. Judging from her belongings, the deceased woman was Ms. Kagaya Banko, a housewife living in Beika Town..."

"This is the person Uncle is representing today."

Ping Qing looked at Conan in shock. Conan hadn't even returned to the agency yet, and the client was already dead. The old man's fee was gone again. Poor old man.

"Let's go and have a look too."

Conan immediately gave Professor Agasa a series of instructions and then followed in Hirai's footsteps.

At this moment, on the banks of the Tsuchizu River, Inspector Megure is examining the body.

"The victim was stabbed in the abdomen with a sharp weapon and then beaten on the head with a blunt object. There may have been more than one murderer. It is hard to imagine that the murderer would first take a sharp weapon and then switch to another weapon."

Hearing Takagi's description and considering the somewhat strange situation before him, Inspector Megure recalled a long-ago case.

"There was no cash or wallet at the scene, and it looked like a robbery and murder."

Upon hearing Takagi's words, Uncle Mori quickly interjected, "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, Officer Takagi."

Upon seeing an acquaintance appear, Inspector Megure rolled his eyes. "Hey, hey, hey, this is the job of the police. Unrelated bystanders shouldn't offer their opinions, okay?"

Uncle Mori quickly explained the matter he had entrusted to him, which made Pingqing increasingly excited. An affair, huh? He always felt that there was an even bigger scandal in this family.

The group arrived at the Kariya residence, where two maids greeted them once again.

Both were surprised to hear that Kagaya Banko was having an affair, but they quickly thought of the mustachioed man who had come to visit.

Just then, Uncle Mori walked in, and one of the maids grabbed a vacuum cleaner from the side and threw it at him.

"This is the man who dared to kill our wife."

The middle-aged man steadily caught the blow, and despite being dizzy and disoriented, he still managed to bravely retort, "It wasn't me."

Ping Qing blinked and silently gave a thumbs up, thinking, "There are many hidden talents among ordinary people."

Immediately afterwards, Inspector Megure began the questioning process.

The first stop was still Kariya Daisaku, who was in the room at the time of the incident, a fact that the maid can attest to.
