Chapter 335 20% Discount for Acquaintances

Fujino had an impression of Hattori Shizuka, Hattori Heiji's mother. When they met, he actually recognized her at first sight.

It's just that the son is so dark, but the mother is fair and fair... It really doesn't make sense.

The key is, his father Hattori Heizo is not evil either!

This makes people don't know what to say.

In Ikeha's words, Fujino felt that it should be Hattori Shizuka's original last name before she got married.

If he hid his last name, he probably didn't want his identity to be recognized. After all, if he mentioned Hattori, he might be recognized directly.

Fujino could understand her name-seeking visit. It was just an act, to explore his own background...

It is estimated that Hattori boy will say something bad about him again after he returns. Otherwise, Hattori Shizuka would not be able to keep an eye on him.

Thinking of this, Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that he wanted to give that kid a taste of speaking ill of people behind their backs.

But then he thought about the script planned by Hattori Shizuka.

He just said that he was not married yet, and also gave himself a false surname, which was the surname before marriage, and even hid his wedding ring...

What family ethics drama?

As for the reason, it is estimated that if you say that you are married, this kind of commission will definitely be disliked by the detective. After all, it is definitely not appropriate to help other people's wives find a man they met a long time ago.

Is this the reason why she hides her wedding ring?

Her planning for this play was a bit grand, and it even felt a little scary to think about it.

Fujino didn't dare to think about it in detail. He thought for a while and then asked: "I heard on the phone just now that you have a photo of the person you want to find. I wonder if you can show it to me. In that case, I will It’s also good to determine the identity of that person.”

"Yes, but I feel like there aren't too many places for reference."

Hattori Shizuka said, taking out a photo from the small bag and handing it to Fujino: "The person holding the trophy in the middle of this photo is the person I want to find, Shibata Shiro."

"The photos of the kendo tournament, judging from the venue of the competition, should be the summer tournament in Kansai."

Fujino took the photo and looked at it.

The photo shows a group of three women and four men. They are wearing the protective gear used in kendo competitions. In the C position of the photo is a boy holding a trophy.

Next to the boy, there was a cute girl with a ponytail and a slightly green appearance.

At first glance, the face shape and features are exactly the same as Hattori Shizuka, so he should be the person...

Fujino raised his head and looked at Shizuka Hattori, and then looked at the photo.

The changes in thirty years are indeed quite big...

Young girls have become wives with a stupid son.

Emm, it is true that a good-looking girl is still good-looking even if she is older in this world.

Fujino raised his chin and said, "The girl with the ponytail next to her should be Miss Ikeha, right?"

"Yeah... that was me. We were indeed participating in the summer conference in Kansai at that time. After graduation, I returned to Tokyo. I didn't expect that I would be recognized at a glance."

Hattori Shizuka was slightly surprised, raised his eyes, and looked at Fujino squarely.

From the beginning, the secrets she had hidden began to be revealed bit by bit.

Whether it's the wedding ring hidden on the hand or the area in the picture, everything is visible.

She had no doubt that if she revealed something more, her true identity would be recognized.

It's really scary, it makes people feel like their hairs are standing on their heads...even though she doesn't have any hairs.

The purpose of her coming here this time was actually to explore the other party's true nature and confirm whether her stupid son was being bullied.

She had never seen this Fujino with her own eyes, but she had heard about it from her son and husband.

My son sprained his ankle last time and after returning from Tokyo, he started shouting things like "What kind of monster is this guy Fujino?" "This guy really deserves to die!" "It's so abominable..." and the like.

She also asked her husband what Fujino was like, but the answers he got were "a very outstanding young man", "a promising young man with a bright future", "why doesn't that boy Heiji learn more from others?" He looks like someone else's child or an outstanding young man.

So she subconsciously thought that her son must have been bullied by this outstanding young man, and she came here to test it out.

"You can tell it from the photo. After all, Miss Chibo, you look like a hibiscus. You can probably tell it in the crowd at a glance."

Fujino chuckled and said: "As for the Summer Conference in Kansai, I am actually a kendo student, so I can naturally recognize it."

"It's really too much praise..."

Hattori Jinghua waved his hand in embarrassment: "I didn't expect that you are also learning kendo now."

At her age, having young people compliment her on her looks really made her feel good.

At the same time, she added some suspicion about her son being bullied.

How could such a talkative young man be a bully?

But I can’t get an answer so quickly. After all, I know people, but I don’t know their hearts...

"Yeah, I'm just learning to play, just learning randomly."

Fujino looked at Shizuka Hattori, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Since the content of the commission and the person to be found have been determined, then it's time to talk about the commission fee... From the perspective of difficulty, these photos should be from a long time ago and are not very useful. In other words, the only clue now is that name, and it is really difficult to find it. Originally, my price should be 600,000 yen..."

"600,000 yen?"

Shizuka Hattori was stunned for a moment and looked at Fujino in surprise.

Although this money is not too much for her.

But if it is just to find a person, it is indeed a little expensive.

Obviously, she was still not familiar with the routine of our famous detective to treat "acquaintances". In this regard, Fujino paused slightly and continued: "But since Miss Ikebo is introduced by an acquaintance, I can give Miss Ikebo a 20% discount and charge 500,000 yen... I have prepared the contract when you come here. If you agree, you can sign and pay the deposit."

"Such a big discount... But it is still within the acceptable range."

Hatsuori Shizuka nodded, and she didn't expect that she could get 100,000 yuan by saying that she was introduced by an acquaintance.

Although 100,000 yuan is not much, it is a big discount compared to 600,000 yen.

"Well, it's not a big deal. After all, we are all acquaintances. In order to give back everyone's support, I have to show some sincerity here. Even if the price is lower than usual, and I lose some money, it can be regarded as a return to my customers who support me."

Fujiano used some of the routine words of some family members, and said politely and reluctantly, and took out a mobile POS machine from his pocket: "If you have a bank card, you can pay directly now. We support mobile payment here... As for the deposit, it is one-tenth of the list price, which is 50,000 yen."

"Then thank you."

Hatsuori Shizuka took out her bank card and swiped it, feeling a little strange.

The money is gone?

It should be said that the speed is too fast. They took over the commission and signed the contract before they said a few words after entering the door... I have to say that the efficiency is a bit high.

But at the same time, a wave of thoughts came to her mind.

Acquaintances... I wonder if my son counts?

After thinking about it, she felt a little sorry for Fujino.

After all, the other party is a child who is almost the same as her son.

Cheating underage high school detectives in exchange for discounts or something.

I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"Well, I will find Mr. Shibata as soon as possible."

Fujino's face became serious, and his complexion and momentum also improved a little, showing a very professional performance.

20% discount for acquaintances.

Before opening the price, first increase the price, and then discount.

Not only can you make money, but you can also make your family feel that you have made money.

In short, it is a win-win situation.

"But, in fact, I have another unwelcome request."

Hatsutori Shizuka suddenly said: "If possible, I would like to trouble Detective Maori who lives opposite to participate in this commission together."

In her impression, every time her son comes out, there will be Maori Kogoro, the "sleeping famous detective".

The last time she went to Kansai, she invited him, but he didn't come.

She suspected that her son was being madly squeezed by the detective predecessors on the one hand, and bullied by the slightly older, younger and more outstanding famous detectives on the other hand.

However, after some exploration, she thought that Fujino should not have too big a problem.

After all, how could such a polite, disciplined young man who even praised her beauty and called her "Miss" be such a bad person?

"Two detectives investigating together?"

Fujino frowned slightly, hesitant about this request.

One client, two detectives.

Are you using nesting dolls?

But it feels a bit familiar...

Why does it feel like two clients and one detective back then?

Fujino was slightly stunned.

Although it was quite nice to eat double portions, it would not be so nice if it was my turn.

If the same commission was divided between two detectives, the amount would definitely shrink.

"I've heard that you two have a good relationship."

Hattori Shizuka also noticed that her request seemed to make the other party uncomfortable: "I think if there are two detectives investigating together, then it will definitely be much faster to find someone. Of course, I will definitely pay the commission as usual."

"Well, since the client asked, I will take you to see Brother Maori."

As he said, Fujino stood up and walked towards the bathroom: "But before I go, I still have to make a phone call to ask Brother if he wants to accept the commission. After all, he is very busy."

Hattori Shizuka said he didn't care: "It doesn't matter."

"Then please wait for a moment, Miss Ikenami."

Fujino turned and walked towards the bathroom, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed Maori Kogoro's mobile phone number.

The amount of his commission was still a bit high. If Brother Maori offered a price lower than his discount, wouldn't it be a slap in his face?

"Ah, Brother Fujino, what's the matter?"

The background voice of Maori Kogoro on the other end of the phone was a bit noisy, he should be watching the game.

"Brother, I have accepted a commission, but after entrusting me with the commission, the client also specifically asked you to join the investigation."

"I'm investigating too?"

Mouri Kogoro was also stunned for a moment: "It's a bit suspicious to commission two detectives at the same time..."

"It's just a commission to find someone. The other party is a middle-aged woman who wants to find a classmate from more than 30 years ago."

Speaking of this, Fujino's tone was slightly lowered, and he whispered: "The price I offer is 600,000 yen..."

"Six... 600,000?!"

Mouri Kogoro was obviously shocked by the commission price: "Just looking for someone, 600,000 is too outrageous."

"So I made a slight discount and asked for 500,000."

Fujino's tone was flat: "The other party agreed."

"Oh... Oh!"

Mouri Kogoro understood immediately after hearing this, and the smile in his tone could not be concealed: "Thank you, brother Fujino!"

"Well, I'll take someone there now. She has the photo and the name of the person, so it should be easy to find."

"Okay! I'll get ready."

…………

Mouri Detective Agency

"Ding Dong!"

Fujino rang the doorbell: "Brother Maori, we're coming in!"

"Come in!"

It was Xiaolan who answered.

Fujino pushed open the door and saw Xiaolan holding a dust basket, wearing a pink knitted top and light blue shorts.

From her appearance, she should be doing a big cleaning on the weekend.

Conan stood beside her, wearing a blue suit and shorts.

Fujino didn't understand why this kid had to wear formal clothes at home.

Could it be that all the child support was spent on horse racing by Uncle Maori, and he had no other clothes to wear?

"Where's Uncle Maori?"

Fujino walked into the detective agency office, and Shizuka Hattori followed behind, bowing slightly to Xiaolan and saying hello.

"Dad is in the bathroom now."

Xiaolan replied to Fujino, and bowed lightly in return, then looked at Shizuka Hattori: "You should be the client, please wait a moment!"

"She's a beauty!"

Conan's vision is also very good. He glanced at Shizuka Hattori and sighed in his heart.

"Ahem..."

Shizuka Hattori felt a little uncomfortable and coughed twice.

She glanced at the detective agency around her and observed silently.

In a small office, there was a black TV on the desk, a leather brown sofa next to it, and a light brown wooden coffee table. Files were also scattered on the filing cabinet next to it.

The air was also filled with a strong smell of smoke... and dust.

Different from the detective agency she had just seen, the environment here was in line with her stereotype of detectives.

It should be said that a detective agency office as "spectacular" as Fujino's was relatively rare.

"Are you here already?!"

At this time, Maori Kogoro came out of the bathroom, wearing a dark blue suit.

He was not doing anything else just now, but shaving...

After all, he was the client who was introduced, and it would be bad if he looked sloppy.

But when he looked at Shizuka Hattori sitting on the sofa, he was also slightly stunned.

"She is a beauty!"

Well, she looks the same as Conan.

Uncle Maori, who reacted, seemed a little regretful.

Why didn't Brother Fujino tell him earlier that the person he brought was a beauty...

If he had known, he would have dressed up carefully.

"Ahem!"

Mouri Kogoro coughed lightly, walked forward and said in a calm tone: "Brother Fujino, is this your client?"

"Are you the sleeping Mouri Kogoro?"

Hearing this, Hattori Shizuka stood up: "My name is Ikeba, Detective Fujino should have told me about me."

"Yes, I am Mouri Kogoro!"

Uncle Mouri walked to the sofa and sat down, pretending to be a calm uncle: "I have indeed heard about your matter from Brother Fujino, but the specific details still need to be confirmed again."

Xiaolan: "..."

Conan: "..."

This guy, he started again!

Fujian's eyes also flickered slightly, looking at Mouri Kogoro.

It feels like Brother Mouri is making a big deal again.

…………

“So we are looking for this person named Shibata Shiro.”

Mouri Kogoro sat on the sofa, looking at the photo on the coffee table and murmured: “Then the girl next to the photo should be Miss Ikenami… She has changed a lot.”

Conan also leaned over curiously, looking at the photo on the left and Hattori Shizuka on the right.

He also secretly lamented that time makes people grow old.

Hattori Shizuka said: "After all, they are all old photos from thirty years ago."

"Thirty years ago?"

Mouri Kogoro was stunned: "Then you are..."

"Yes, I am 42 years old this year."

Hattori Shizuka said with emotion: "This photo was taken when I was in the second grade of junior high school. Detective Fujino just said that it is indeed difficult to use this photo as a reference, but this is the only photo I have on hand."

"Already 42 years old?"

Fujian sat aside and thought: "I thought Miss Ikenami was only in her early thirties."

"No... Only in her early thirties is too exaggerated."

Hattori Shizuka was a little embarrassed, but her impression of Fujino was much better.

It is indeed what the person in my family said. He is indeed young and promising, and can be called an outstanding young man.

He is much better behaved than the cheap son who usually calls himself 'Obasan'.

"What are your hobbies?"

At this time, Kogoro Mouri suddenly asked, and Shizuka Hattori, who did not react, replied casually: "As for his hobbies, it should be related to kendo. After all, his kendo level was pretty good at the time."

"no."

Mouri Kogoro looked serious: "I'm talking about you..."

Shizuka Hattori: "Huh?"

Obviously, she has not kept up with Mouri Kogoro.

Although she wanted to interrupt the strange uncle's conversation, but thinking that she still had to investigate whether the two detectives in front of her had bullied her son, Shizuka Hattori said helplessly: "Normally, I prefer to fight. Wearing a sweater or something like that..."

"So that's it. It's really a good interest."

Mouri Kogoro said: "Miss Chiha must be a very virtuous person."

"I think Fujino-senpai is right."

Xiaolan put three cups of hot tea on the coffee table, interrupted Mouri Kogoro, brought the topic back to Fujino, and echoed: "Miss Ikeha, your skin is well maintained. You can't even tell that it has changed." My mother is almost the same age."

At the same time, she glanced at Mouri Kogoro, and a deep feeling of resentment gradually appeared on her face, as if to say:

Strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman and get spanked, you know?
