Chapter 1081 Unexpected Visitor

Yoneka Town Mori Detective Agency

In the minds of many people—here specifically referring to the Megure Police Department—the Mori Detective Agency can definitely be regarded as the place of right and wrong in Tokyo. Countless grievances and hatreds began here, and countless late nights and overtime work began here.

However, for Nobushige, this is a rare place where he can take a breather.

On an uneventful afternoon, Nobuhiro was helping his uncle sort out power of attorney letters in the office. Mao Lilan suddenly pushed open the door and placed a large pile of letters on the coffee table.

"Today there are more than a dozen commission letters." Mao Lilan sighed, "There are also some from New Zealand. We simply don't have the energy to handle so many commissions."

"Leave it to me." Nobushige took the initiative to take over the hard work, "I will select a few from them and show them to Mr. Mori."

The miserable Mouri Kogoro was staring at the newspaper to find the information he needed for the commission, and he fell asleep while staring at it.

Mao Lilan felt heartbroken when she saw this: "Dad has been working for several days, why don't you take a break today?"

"No!" Mouri Kogoro was about to fall asleep, but after hearing these words, he felt as if he had been shot. "How can I betray my client's trust?"

Of course, the main motivation that prompted him to work so hard was the huge commission fees.

That's all money. Mouri Kogoro had never seen so much money when he lived with Fei Yingli in the past.

He must rely on his detective work to make a fortune and reach the top of his life, making that woman jealous!

Mao Lilan sighed helplessly: "Why are there so many commissions recently? They are almost ten times more than before. Even Mr. Amuro and Sera were sent out by dad to investigate."

"As Mr. Mori's disciples, this is what they should do. Besides, only in practice can they improve their business abilities. There is nothing wrong with letting them practice more."

Anyway, Nobuhiro didn't believe that Rei Fukiya really went out because of the agency's commission. He knew that the police department had been very busy recently, and that guy would most likely leave the task to his subordinates.

Mao Lilan thought seriously: "Should we recruit more employees?"

"No!" The money-obsessed uncle immediately refused, "When you recruit employees, you have to pay wages. I can't even support you, so how can I have spare money to pay wages to others?"

Mao Lilan: "..."

Dad, being unable to raise a daughter is really not something to be proud of...

"Mr. Mori." Nobutushige handed a letter to Kogoro Mori, "This is a letter to you, not a commission."

Mouri Kogoro opened the envelope strangely: "This name is very strange. When did I know her? Huh? Wait... Why did this old woman thank me in the letter for introducing my beloved disciple to her? I don't know why I still Have an apprentice?"

Nobuhiro and Mao Lilan understood immediately when they saw the photo attached to the letter.

The letter was from the previous landlady. Apparently, the fake detective was becoming more and more addicted to acting.

Mao Lilan said with a smile: "Didn't Dad record a program on the TV station to teach people reasoning? Maybe your audience calls themselves apprentices."

"That's too much! How can you be considered your apprentice just by watching my show?" Mouri Kogoro righteously condemned.

"Yes, only those who have formally apprenticed with me are considered disciples of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro." A somewhat familiar voice sounded in front of the office door.

Nobushige looked in the direction of the sound source and narrowed his eyes slightly.

It's actually him...

Seeing the person coming, the uncle showed a warm smile: "You are back, Fabian!"

Yes, the man who suddenly appeared was none other than Fabian West, who had been back in the United States for many days.

"Yes." Fabian West walked into the office and put the gift in his hand on the table. "I brought souvenirs to everyone in the office. This belongs to you, Teacher Maori."

Mouri Kogoro took the belt from a local American luxury brand and smiled so hard that he could hardly see his eyes: "Have you finished dealing with your family affairs?"

"Yes, so I'm back to continue learning from you how to be a great detective."

Fabian West gave another set of skin care products to Mao Lilan, and you can tell from the packaging that they are expensive.

In the end, he did not forget Nobuhiro.

"Mr. Asano, please accept my gift." Fabian West said to Nobushige solemnly.

He handed Xinfanshi a box carefully wrapped in brown paper. The box was not too big, but it was still quite heavy in his hand.

Nobushige opened the box and found a hardcover book inside, the original English version of "The English Patient."

"Why did you think of giving me a book?" Xinfan asked casually.

Fabian West smiled and said: "I accidentally saw this book when I was home. I think it is very meaningful and very suitable for you."

Nobushige has not read "The English Patient", but he has read reviews of the book in a magazine - a fable about liberation from spiritual shackles.

What did Fabian West want to express through this book?

"By the way, where is the kid Conan?" Fabian West asked doubtfully, "Why didn't you see him?"

"Oh, Conan, he stayed at a relative's house some time ago and doesn't come here often anymore."

Fabian West felt a little regretful: "There is no way, this gift can only be handed over by Miss Maori."

Mao Lilan smiled and said: "Actually, I think Mr. Asano is more convenient. Conan lives next to his house now."

"Really? Maybe I should really find a chance to visit."

…

"What? You saw Ariane Swann at the airport?"

Judy asked in shock.

However, the subordinate still gave a positive answer on the phone.

Judy's expression was terrible. She squeezed the phone tightly and frowned.

How could Swann come to Japan at this time?

She and Xiu tried every means to transfer Ariane back to the United States, just because they didn't want him to conflict with Mescal, but why did he come here on his own now?

Without Xiu, Judy knew she could only rely on herself now.

The only person in Japan who might know Swann's movements is in front.

Judy sat in the car, silently staring at the elderly figure chatting with someone dozens of meters away, her eyes getting sharper.

Well, let her take a good look at what these people are going to do!

Judy entered a familiar number into her phone and pressed the dial button.

Then, in her sight, James made an apology gesture to the other party, and James' voice came from the receiver:

"What's the matter, Judy? I'm having a video conference with Washington."

"Arian Swan has arrived in Japan." Judy said bluntly without any greetings, "Hasn't he been transferred back by the headquarters? Why is he here again?"

"Really? He came to Japan?" James also sounded surprised, "But you have to know, Judy, we have no right to interfere with his choice now."

"Why?"

James said solemnly: "Because Ariane Swann is no longer an FBI agent, he resigned."
