Chapter 203 Women's Desire to Win
"In addition to you, our Suzuki family has also entrusted the famous detective Mouri Kogoro. However, Mr. Mouri's side is negotiated by my husband..."
Tomoko Suzuki paused and then said: "Actually, the reason why I hired you two detectives is because our family made a bet."
"bet?"
"That's right."
Suzuki Tomoko nodded, "In terms of your ability to deal with Kaitou Kidd, Ayako, Sonoko, and I are more optimistic about you.
My husband, on the other hand, was more optimistic about the Maori detectives, so in the end he simply entrusted them all, and also made a bet...that is, who of the entrusted detectives can guard the Egg of Memory this time? "
"I see."
Fujino silently placed the tea cup on the coffee table in front of him, "In that case, we should also talk about the commission fee."
"This time, our Suzuki family will pay a commission fee of five million yen to protect the memory egg..."
As she said that, a smile appeared on Suzuki Tomoko's lips, "But Ayako and I don't mind adding an additional two million yen to the commission fee for the 'Pitch Black Detective'. After all, your strength is obvious to all."
"An additional commission fee of two million yen?"
Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, "In this case, I will naturally not let you down, Mrs. Suzuki."
Tomoko Suzuki's words are very tempting.
He even said that he wanted an additional commission of two million yen personally.
The purpose is self-evident.
Just to stimulate his fighting spirit and win this small bet.
Is this a woman’s desire to win?
Terrible.
But he likes making money.
…………
Some commission details were discussed with Tomoko Suzuki.
After receiving the 7 million yen commission, Fujino returned home.
This wave of commissions from the Suzuki family directly boosted his balance.
With some money, he naturally carried out a wave of cheap junior ten-consecutive draws.
Although nothing great was released, the enhanced cards received a lot of replenishment.
…………
In the blink of an eye, August 19th came.
That was the day after Fujino accepted the Suzuki family's commission.
Under the leadership of Nakamori Ginzo, Fujino came to the conference room of the Metropolitan Police Department.
He glanced around the conference room.
This conference room is not big, it can accommodate dozens of people.
There is a huge screen TV mounted on the wall in front of the conference room, bigger than the Fujino family's.
On both sides of the TV, there were lecture tables placed diagonally, and the conductors of this operation, such as Nakamori Ginzo and Ochagi Jintaro, were sitting there.
Fujino turned around and glanced behind him again.
At this time, the seats at the back of the conference room were already full of people, all elite police officers with tired faces, unshaven beards and fierce expressions.
Uncle Maori sat in the last row.
After seeing Fujino, he originally wanted to wave and say hello.
But after taking a look at the situation of the man on the left and right, he felt a little embarrassed and put his hand down again.
Fujino looked away, then found an empty seat at the back and sat down.
…………
The meeting begins.
Ochagi Shintaro, who was sitting at the lecture table on the right side of the front, stood up and introduced the basic situation of the meeting to everyone.
This meeting is about the "Special Operation Phantom Thief Kidd Investigation".
At the meeting, the great achievements of Kaitou Kidd were mentioned since the crime was committed. The total amount of theft has reached an astonishing 38.7 billion yen.
On the big screen in the conference room, the contents of Kaitou Kidd's preview letter were displayed.
At the mention of Kaitou Kidd, all the tired-looking police officers present immediately stopped feeling sleepy and gradually became more energetic.
At this time, Nakamori Ginzo had his hands folded across his chest, looking particularly calm.
His calm and composed appearance even made Fujino suspect that Nakamori Ginzo was pretending to be that boy Kuroba Kaito.
This time, the basic introduction to Kaito Kidd's actions was completed, and Shintaro Ochagi handed over the task of analyzing Kaito Kidd's warning letter to Ginzo Nakamori.
Nakamori Ginsan, a veteran of hunting down Kaito Kidd for many years, quickly cracked the code.
First, from the lion at dusk to the maiden at dawn.
Leo is from July 23rd to August 22nd.
Virgo is from August 23rd to September 22nd.
Considering that the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art will exhibit the Memory Egg on August 23, he believes that Kaito Kidd will appear from dusk on August 22 to dawn on August 23.
When the clock without a second hand reaches the twelfth digit, it should be the time of the crime.
Only for the time being, Nakamori Ginzo did not understand the meaning of this code.
Although the time could not be determined, judging from the glowing sky pavilion, he concluded that it was the castle tower.
In other words, Kaitou Kidd will go out from the direction of the castle tower on the night of August 22nd to 23rd to steal the Memory Egg.
Nakamori Ginzo’s explanation immediately caused a burst of applause from the audience.
…………
"This time, we will conduct a joint search with the Osaka police."
Ochagi Shintaro stood up and took the microphone, pointing in the direction of Fujino and Mouri Kogoro: "And at the request of Mr. Suzuki, we specially invited the famous detective Fujino and the famous detective Moori Kogoro to participate in the investigation of the case."
All the police officers present followed the direction pointed by Chaki Shintaro and cast their eyes on Fujino and Maori Kogoro.
Uncle Maori swallowed his saliva and was frightened by the group of fierce police officers.
Although he was also a policeman before, this situation was still too rare.
Fujino stood up, nodded slightly, and then sat down calmly.
"Are you the high school detective named Fujino?"
The fierce police officer next to him, who was about 40 years old, was obviously stunned and asked Fujino in surprise.
The nearby police officers also turned their heads at the same time and looked at Fujino.
They noticed Fujino when they entered the door just now.
After all, he was brought in by Nakamori Ginzo, and they thought he was a colleague who was newly transferred to participate in the search...
"I am."
Fujino nodded, "Please take care of this operation."
At this time, Chaki Shintaro's voice sounded again: "As Detective Fujino said before, the purpose of our police is to protect treasures and stop crimes."
He quoted what Fujino had said before in front of the media, and then said loudly: "This time, we must swear to defend the treasure to the death, even if Kaito Kid is let go! Defending it is victory!"
"How can we let that bastard go so easily!"
The always calm Nakamori Ginzo couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly snatched Chaki Shintaro's microphone, and then shouted to everyone present: "The treasure is second! Betting on the honor and pride of our police, this time, we must definitely put that hateful bastard in jail!"
"Understood!"
The police officers who were originally seated in the venue stood up one after another, and the crowd was indignant, wishing to eat Kaito Kid alive.
Fujino looked at the passionate looks of the police officers around him, and couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.
It was called a special action meeting, but why did he feel that it was like a pre-war mobilization?
There was not much useful information.
The atmosphere was quite passionate.
