Chapter 547 Underground Gambling
"By the way, I'll go back and ask that Shigetsu... Sonoko, if you go to Shimura Village, help me tell Tomoyo and Sakura that they don't have to wait for me to eat, and then help me watch over Xiao Ai and don't let her hold her all day long. Reading endlessly is bad for your eyes." Amu said to Yuanzi after taking a few steps out.
"Eh? You..." Yuanzi was stunned when he heard this.
"I'm going to ask about 'Tobirama's Treasure'." Ammu said, waving his hand and leaving.
"Really...he actually asked you to go..." Xiaolan complained to Eminem on behalf of the frozen Yuanzi - why did Yuanzi come?
Heiji and Conan said scornfully: "Is this guy an idiot?"
"Yes, he is indeed a straight man, hahaha..."
…
When Eminem returned to Sarutobi's house, he suddenly spotted a sneaky figure outside the yard of Sarutobi's house.
So Eminem suppressed the matter of "Tobirama's Treasure" first, and observed this guy for a while, and found that this guy dressed as an old aunt didn't look like he was going to lurk in, but seemed to be waiting for someone to come out.
and……
Although the other party was slightly disguised, his body shape and face shape were so subtle that they seemed familiar to Eminem.
Snapped--
"ah!"
Eminem quietly approached him from behind and patted him on the shoulder. Sure enough, the other person was startled and couldn't help but exclaim. As a result, the original voice was revealed, and Eminem also confirmed his identity!
"Kojiro, what are you doing sneakily again?"
That's right, the person who came was none other than Kojiro dressed as a woman.
"Ah...it turns out to be Eminem-sama, really, don't scare me like that." Kojiro couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Eminem.
After all, he had dealt with Eminem several times... huh? Kojiro suddenly remembered that every time he met Amu, nothing good happened, so he immediately became concerned again.
"What's wrong?" Ammu saw the change in his expression and asked.
"No, it's nothing, just a small task." Kojiro said quickly.
"No... Shimura Koji and Sarutobi Yoshihiro were killed by you, right?" Ammu asked pretending to be suspicious.
"No, no, no, what are you talking about? I don't know those two people at all, and... I just came here today. I have never killed anyone!" Kojiro shook his head quickly.
"Then what are you doing here? Who are you going to kill next?" Ammu asked deliberately.
"I didn't at all... Well, my mission here is actually... I will tell you one person, and you must not tell anyone..." Kojiro was helpless and knew that Eminem must be asking what he was doing, so I just said that, so... I had no choice but to reveal it.
And it’s really not a big deal!
"Ahem, you know the Dragon Knight Competition is held here every year, right?"
Seeing Eminem nodding, Kojiro continued: "For the competition... there are inevitably some underground black market casinos! Black market casinos... there must be some backers! Backers... Our Rockets are quite famous in Johto, so in order to avoid some Guys with unknown origins interfere in these affairs and create a mess...you know."
Kojiro explained that he acted like the Rockets were serving the country and the people, but in fact, that meant...
The underground casino here is the dock of Team Rocket!
The "Dragon Knight Competition" is a big gambling event here every year, so Kojiro came over to check it out.
After hearing this, Eminem was not interested, but...
"You were finally released by Boss Sakaki intolerable?" Amza said heartily.
"No, no, no, how can this be considered an external release? This is because Boss Sakaki respects me..." Kojiro continued to quibble.
But Eminem ignored him. Since it was nothing serious and had nothing to do with the case, Eminem was going to continue looking for Fanci.
After just changing his mind for a moment, Eminem secretly complained: Since he is waiting here for a connection, that is to say... I didn't expect that Sarutobi would trust that old guy directly. He seemed to be serious, and he was not even willing to let his son like treasure hunting. Actually doing such a thing behind your back? Tsk tsk...
Eminem also sneaked back to Sarutobi's house and found Shigetsu.
Dong Dong——
"Who, who?" Fanci looked a little scared.
"I, Eminem, can we talk more about the treasure?" Eminem said outside the door.
Hearing that it was Eminem, Fanci opened the door with a sigh of relief, and whispered: "Keep your voice down, don't let my dad hear..."
After entering the room, Eminem saw that there were various materials on Fanci's desk, some were printed, some were ancient books, and some were photos...it looked quite professional.
No wonder he didn't invite himself into the house when Eminem and Heiji came for the first time. It seemed that he had been studying these things all the time.
He was also very interested in meeting Eminem, and Fanci was also very happy. He was not worried about the feeling that "the treasure will be found first by others." For Fanci, the treasure hunt itself was already more important than the treasure.
Shigeji became more energetic when he mentioned "Tobirama-sama's treasure".
According to what he said, when Brother Yiyang was still alive, the four of them, including the late Koji and "Linghua", often searched for treasures together...
But as he got older, only Fanci persisted.
After hearing what Fanci said, Eminem could rule out that the matter that Yoshihiro and Koji had quietly discussed was really not "treasure related".
"Who is Linghua?" Ammu asked at this time.
"Ayaka is from Akimichi Village next door and is Brother Jing's wife. Since marrying Brother Jing, we rarely play together anymore," Shigetsu said.
"Brother Jing" is of course A Jing and Shimura Kei. Eminem and Heiji also went to see him before, but Eminem went to find Xuan La. A Jing's mount is a strange jaw dragon, and he is also the champion of the Dragon Knight Competition in recent years. .
He is slightly older than Koji, Yoshiro, Ayaka, and Manji, so these four people used to play together, but all four of them also admired Akying.
"By the way, what do you call Yilan...Brother Yilan?" Eminem felt that calling him this way didn't sound like a real brother.
"Actually, Brother Yiyang is my cousin. He is my father's sister and the child he had after marrying to Mito Village. Later, my father adopted him... Because we were very good when we were young, we are used to being called this." Fanci explained.
Naotobu was also really disappointed with Shigeji. He always considered his adopted sister's son as his heir.
"I see..." Eminem thought for a moment.
It was discovered that the two deceased men in the past six months, although on the surface they were the sons of the "Shimura family" and the "Sarutobi family", in fact... In terms of their original surnames, one was transferred to another dormitory and the other was Mito!
Eminem shook his head. He didn't know if this was related to the murder case, but...even if it was related, he would just remind Conan and Heiji later that he should concentrate on finding the "Book of Sealings" as his business!
