Chapter 356 Zero and Countless Times

Nobushige was silent for a moment, then skillfully pressed the power button to hang up.

There are only zero or countless times of hanging up the phone for gin. The more arrogant you are, the more addictive you become. What's more, Nobushige has a very high-sounding reason to protect himself.

He believes that doing everything too cautiously is not conducive to undercover work.

On the one hand, people's energy is limited, and while being careful, they will inevitably give up some benefits as a price. Perhaps it was because he was too timid to give up readily available information, or to hide his identity and watch his comrades die.

On the other hand, caution often comes with extremely low error tolerance. When the environment is safe, you should expose some flaws to arouse the suspicion of the organization, and then use your actual actions to slap those who have doubts in the face. This is far wiser than making no mistakes at all.

Take the matter of hanging up Gin's phone, for example. Mescal usually hangs up Gin's phone when he has something to do, and often ignores his contact and call. Although Gin is angry, there is nothing he can do about Mescal. Because Mescal didn't answer the phone because he betrayed the organization, he just simply didn't want to deal with Gin.

If things go on like this, Gin will have the impression that "it's normal for mezcal not to answer my phone calls." If one day in the future, Nobuhiro is really inconvenient to answer the phone because of police matters, Ginjiu will not be suspicious because of this. At most, he could just complain, "You dare to hang up the phone at such a critical moment! Mescal, just wait for your bonus to be deducted!"

It's just...so cool.

This is probably why Nobushige keeps lurking deeper and deeper.

But he probably didn't know that in a building in Yoneka Town overlooking the Mori Detective Agency, Big Brother Gin gritted his teeth and clenched his cell phone out of shape.

Mao Lilan noticed Nobutano's action of hanging up the phone, so he asked with concern: "Mr. Asano, do you have anything urgent to deal with? Our school is on holiday today, so I can accompany my father to his place."

"It's just a sales advertisement, how can I ask you to do my work?" Nobuhiro smiled and put away his phone.

"There have been so many sales advertisements recently and they are so annoying. I received a call from a real estate agency yesterday, and they asked me if I had any intention of renting out the first floor." Mouri Kogoro laughed and patted Nobushige on the shoulder, "They gave it to me The price offered is much higher than the price I rented to you! After all, I am a famous detective now, and there are many people who want to be my neighbor."

"Yes." Nobuhiro smiled, "Thanks to you, the music classroom business is also very good."

I just don’t know why, but now nearly one-third of the people who come to Lufeng Music Classroom to study are to relieve stress. Moreover, this ratio is gradually increasing steadily.

"Oh, Dad, you're almost late!" Mao Lilan quickly urged after taking a look at the time.

Nobushige didn't drive to work today, so he and Mouri Kogoro could only take the train to the agreed place.

Tokyo's rail transit was quite punctual. When they arrived at the cafe, the second hand had just crossed twelve, so they were not late.

The client was sitting in the corner by the window, with a cup of cold coffee in front of him.

Seeing them, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the client's eyes: "Mr. Maori! You are finally here!"

"You're finally here" came with a slight hint of complaint, and I believe that Fan was sure that they were not late. Looking at the coffee in front of the client, it has cooled down to the point where it is no longer steaming. This means that the client is in a hurry, so he has come here to wait an hour before the scheduled time.

"Please take a seat." Mouri Kogoro humbly asked the other party to sit down. "I think you want to entrust me to find someone, right?"

The client is a middle-aged man. There is no obvious brand on the clothes, but the material is very good, and it may be customized. The cafe he chose is located in the city center of Tokyo, with an excellent location and elegant decoration. When Nobushige ordered for himself and his uncle, he noticed the price. Even the most ordinary coffee was much higher than the price in other cafes.

However, such a gentleman who was obviously worth a lot of money did not shave when he went out. I don't know whether he forgot or for some other reason. His hair was also a little oily. Nobuhiro was sure that it wasn't hairspray used to fix the style. The client simply hadn't showered in many days.

The richer people are, the more they care about their image. After all, they are in a higher-level social circle, and if they are not careful, they may lose face and lose business. Therefore, it is a very unusual thing for these seemingly ordinary abnormalities to happen to a gentleman like the client.

The client handed a business card to Mouri Kogoro and introduced himself: "I am Kubota Yumiya, and the person you are looking for is my wife Ellie."

"Ah, it turns out you are the head of the most famous kaiseki restaurant 'Diabaku' in Kyoto!" Kogoro Mouri held the business card with an astonished expression, "I have admired you for a long time. I am fascinated every time I pass by Kyoto. I wanted to try it in your store, but unfortunately I never had the chance.”

"After the commission is over, you can go wherever you want, and I will sweep the couch to welcome you." A touch of sadness flashed across Kubota Yumi's eyes, "Actually, 'Diabolo' was a store opened by my wife's parents, and it was handed down to us. By that time, he had gained quite a reputation.”

Mouri Kogoro and Nobushige looked at each other, quickly put away their joking mood, and took it seriously: "You said that your wife is missing, can you tell me the specific situation?"

Kubota Yumiya breathed a long sigh of relief. He seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time before he slowly said: "My wife suddenly went out three nights ago. She seemed to have received a call from a friend. Because our husband and wife usually I didn’t want to interfere in the other person’s life, so I didn’t ask anything at the time. But Aili hadn’t come back until about three in the morning. I was worried about her, so I called her, but it showed that no one answered. The next morning I called again around seven o'clock, and this time her phone was turned off. I still can't reach her until now."

Hearing this, Xinfan couldn't help but frown and question: "Since you have been missing for so many days, why didn't you call the police instead of asking the detective for help?"

"Y-because..." Kubota Yumiya opened his mouth, his throat was dry. After a moment, he couldn't stand Nobushige's serious gaze and still said it, "Because I suspect that Ellie went to her lover. She has Maybe you didn’t answer my call on purpose.”

Mouri Kogoro suddenly took a breath of air: "Lover??"

Nobushige didn't expect such an answer, especially when Kubota Yumi mentioned this matter, his expression was very calm. It seemed that it was not strange for his wife to have an affair.
