Chapter 337 Xiaohua, Andy and Dahei

So Mouri Kogoro pretended to be serious and said: "You have the nerve to say that! You, the agent, promised to help me screen the commissions, but you don't go to work day by day. You should carefully calculate the last time you came to the office!"

"Ahem." Like Moori Kogoro, Nobushige also felt a little guilty, "Then let's start working from today. This, this, and these, all PASS!"

He said that he was about to call according to the contact information on the customer list.

"Hey! No! Can't cancel!" Mouri Kogoro stopped him hastily, "The fees for these commissions are very high! Each one is more than the previous commissions!"

Well, I understand the truth.

So why did you only protect the contact information of "Ms. Michiko, who lives alone and is very cute"? ?

…

"Why do recent clients give so much commission money?"

After school, Conan squeezed in between Nobushige and Mouri Kogoro with his homework in hand. As for Haibara Ai, compared to wasting time in the detective agency, she prefers to stay in Dr. Agasa's laboratory until her brother takes her home.

"It seems because these pets are very valuable." Mouri Kogoro pointed to Xiaohua's name and said, "For example, Mrs. Kato's Xiaohua is a Bengal leopard cat. I checked the price online, and an ordinary one costs a lot. One hundred thousand yen!”

Mao Lilan immediately took a breath of air: "So expensive??"

"There is also this big black dog. It is a competition-grade Akita dog, and the price is almost unlimited."

Nobushige asked curiously: "Why did the Akita get such a name?" He thought it was a large black dog at first.

Mouri Kogoro explained: "It seems that Mr. Yoshida has a black character in his name, so he gave his pet such a name to show his closeness."

This situation is actually not uncommon. The media has previously reported that loyal fans of a certain head of state named their dogs after the leader.

Conan lay on the coffee table and read the three commission documents carefully, and asked strangely: "Uncle, don't these commissions of finding cats and dogs usually have to be processed as soon as possible? Why are you still in the office now? Don’t you go out and look for it?”

"Because these pets have been missing for many days!" Mouri Kogoro rubbed his temples with a headache, "I came to the detective now. No matter how good I am, there is nothing I can do. And I have investigated, and the only trace of Xiaohua is every day. The time of the haunting was around six o'clock in the afternoon. I plan to try my luck this afternoon."

"Are you sure you can't find the time of appearance?" Conan snorted, "At first glance, it seems that uncle is not serious!"

The veins on Mouri Kogoro's temple popped out, and he clenched his fists, as if giving Conan a few ice cream balls.

Seeing this, Mao Lilan quickly comforted him: "Conan is right. After all, these pets are priceless treasures to their owners. It's better for us to help find them as soon as possible."

Mouri Kogoro glared at Conan and let him go.

However, instead of being grateful, the Conan child asked more aggressively: "Uncle, you haven't said what breed Miss Michiko's pet is. Is it Garfield?"

"Ahem." When he mentioned Michiko, Kogoro Mouri immediately restrained his unreliable temperament, "Actually, Andy is not a purebred cat. He is a local cat that Miss Michiko picked up on the roadside."

"..."

Nobushige reached for the entrustment document and flipped through it to the end. Sure enough, Michiko's commission fee for that page was a whole zero less than that of Mrs. Kato and Mr. Yoshida.

Mouri Kogoro avoided Nobushige's gaze guiltily, but he still refused to let go: "What's wrong? What's wrong! All pets are priceless treasures to their owners!"

Xinfan suddenly felt even more tired.

He found that since Kudo Shinichi's vest, his traitorous businessman character seems to have become more and more popular.

...excessive!

He was feeling depressed alone when the doorbell of the detective agency suddenly rang.

"Here we come!" Mao Lilan opened the door smoothly, and then she was almost knocked down by someone.

Conan subconsciously protected Mao Lilan. The child obviously didn't realize how small he was at this time, so it was Conan himself who was knocked down by the guest.

Mao Lilan quickly squatted down and rubbed Conan's knees: "Conan, are you okay? Let me take a look."

Seeing his "son" and daughter being hit, Mouri Kogoro's face instantly turned dark: "What's going on? You're still so frizzy indoors, don't you know...!!!"

His questioning stopped abruptly and was replaced by a flattering voice: "Oh, it's Mrs. Kato!"

Nobushige resisted the urge to hold his forehead and came over: "Hello, Mrs. Kato. I am the agent of the Mori Detective Agency. If you need anything, please tell me."

"Agent?" Mrs. Kato is not young anymore, and her eyesight is not very good, but she still said coldly, "I don't care who you are as an agent or a detective, I just want to ask where Xiaohua is!"

"Uh..." Mouri Kogoro quickly pulled out the records of his previous investigation and explained, "You see, according to my investigation over the past two days, the time when Xiaohua is seen by witnesses is usually concentrated around six o'clock in the afternoon. I plan to today I’ll go out and look for it in the afternoon.”

"Just looking for it today?!" Mrs. Kato shouted sharply, "Do you know how much suffering my little flower will suffer during this period?! It may not have enough to eat or wear, it may have to dig through the trash can, it may To be chased by other animals! It's so pathetic and you told me you just went to find it today!"

Mrs. Kato’s voice was high-pitched and flat, which made people’s skin crawl.

Although he knew that Xiaohua would most likely not appear on human streets before six o'clock, Mouri Kogoro still agreed with a grimace: "Okay, I will go out to look for Xiaohua."

However, just when Mouri Kogoro was about to open the door and go out, he happened to meet another person head-on.

Mouri Kogoro's face turned red as soon as he saw that person: "Mr. Yoshida! Uh...are you also here to ask me about the results?"

Mr. Yoshida is different from Mrs. Kato. Although his clothes are also very expensive and he wears a million-dollar watch on his wrist, he has a more gentle and elegant temperament than Mrs. Kato.

Mao Lilan felt that the temperament of Mr. Yoshida was very similar to that of Mr. Asano, but there seemed to be something different.

"Mr. Mori." Mr. Yoshida bowed to him politely, "I am very grateful for the efforts you have made for Dahei during this period. This is the commission agreed upon at the beginning."

He handed a thick envelope to Mouri Kogoro, which was full of banknotes, even more than originally promised.
