Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 137 Come, Amuro signed this contract

Looking at the confident Tachibana Shizuka in front of him and the expectant Enomoto Azusa beside him, Furuya Rei felt a headache.

What exactly is going on with this mission? Isn’t the degree of unexpectedness a bit too high?
First, there was Azusa Enomoto's inexplicable attentiveness towards him, and then there was Seiji Tachibana's inexplicable trust in him - wouldn't you look for a teammate who knows you well, like Hattori Heiji?

Rei Furuya just wanted to quietly observe Conan downstairs in the office. What's wrong with that?!
And that Italian bank? Are you out of people? Are you really running out of detectives to commission? Why would a high school student be offering a reward for the Italian bank? The most outrageous thing is, he didn't even know about the reward!
But after all, he had agreed to Tachibana Seiji's request to form a team in the coffee shop a few days ago, so it would not be good to change his mind now.

An undercover agent has to manage his or her own persona at all times, not to mention that Shizuka Tachibana is a particularly perceptive person. If he or she cannot come up with a reasonable reason to refuse, his or her identity will probably be suspected by Shizuka Tachibana.

This matter has a history.

Wasn't it in this way that Tachibana Shizuka caught the Kudo couple, who are still under his house arrest?

"Okay, but tomorrow is the weekend and I still need to come to the store to work." Before Furuya Rei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Enomoto Azusa.

"Don't worry, Mr. Amuro, I'll do tomorrow's work for you! I can make coffee and everything, you just need to make some desserts in advance!"

"Well, since Miss Xiaozi said so," Furuya Ling said helplessly to Tachibana Shizuka, "Shall we go treasure hunting tomorrow?"

"Okay, let's decide it then! By the way, Mr. Amuro." Tachibana Shizuka nodded and said:
"We might have to go somewhere else before the treasure hunt tomorrow."
.
"Is this a law firm?" On Saturday morning, Rei Furuya came to the address given by Shizue Tachibana last night, and found out that it was a law firm.

The Hime Law Firm should be the law firm of the undefeated queen of the legal world, Hime Eri?

After investigating the information of the Maori family, Shizuka Tachibana felt that it was reasonable for Shizuka Tachibana to arrange the meeting place here.

It seems that Tachibana Shizuka is not completely defenseless against him.

Not long after Rei Furuya arrived, Tachibana Shizuka also arrived at the office door. Noticing Rei Furuya waiting for him at the door, Tachibana Shizuka smiled and greeted him:
"Good morning, Mr. Amuro."

"Good morning, Tachibana-san."

"Then let's go in first?" Tachibana Seiji knocked on the office door, and then walked into the office with the greeting of Kuriyama Midori.

"Mr. Amuro, I like to be upfront about things. After all, this involves a bounty of up to 6 million yen, and even brothers should settle accounts. So if we want to team up, we need to negotiate the proportion of the bounty.

You don't mind, right?"

Furuya Rei readily agreed: "Of course, that's what I should do."

Tachibana Shizuka continued, "According to the normal bounty team formation method, our bounty should be split 50-50, but this time I got the bounty through my personal channels, so I can take an extra 10%, right?"

"I agree."

As Tachibana Shizuka said, this "bounty mission" was a private mission. This meant that even if someone outside the circle got the Maple Leaf Coin and handed it over to the Tokyo police, he would not receive the 10% bounty of the stolen money.

There might be a symbolic reward, but it definitely won't be as much as 6 million yen.

Tachibana Shizuka is the task intermediary, so it is completely reasonable for him to take an extra 10% of the reward.

"Then, Mr. Amuro certainly won't be able to fully devote himself to the 'mission'. I don't think you'll give up your part-time job and focus solely on this bounty, will you?"

Rei Furuya agreed with what Shizuka Tachibana said. He didn't become the manager of Polo Coffee Shop for the maple leaf gold coins, nor did he like making coffee.

He wanted to observe Conan. But the coffee shop was open from morning till night, and it was impossible for Rei Furuya to go out every other day.

Azusa Enomoto can occasionally take his place, but he can't bully the girl to death just because she is kind.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the main force of the investigation is Tachibana Shizuka.

"Then considering the effort I put in, it's reasonable for me to take an extra 20%, right?"

"Very reasonable." In fact, Furuya Rei had a more rigorous distribution method, but he didn't think that Tachibana Seiji could find those maple leaf gold coins.

At least he couldn't find it in a short time. With the mentality of playing with the "child", he didn't care about these trivial things.

"That's about it. Since this is our first collaboration, we're not all that familiar with each other. Mr. Amuro, don't think you're being overly cautious. After all, everything takes a process of familiarization, right?"

Tachibana Shizuka was satisfied with this. If 19 points was not too unreasonable, he would have wanted to let Furuya Rei work for free.

Anyway, Rei Furuya has Gin's love support, so he probably won't be interested in the small amount of money from the Bank of Italy.

If that doesn't work, just let Gin go on a few more missions. Is it time to wait for this sacred body of cattle and horses to degenerate if it is not used?

"By the way, Ms. Kuriyama, please add a supplementary clause for me - if any one of us finds the maple leaf gold coin alone, then these distribution terms will be invalidated.

I only want 10% of the bounty as an introduction fee."

Tachibana Shizuka called this tactic "retreat to advance" - although Tachibana Shizuka still remembered the plot of the Maple Leaf Gold Coin incident.

But he really couldn't remember what the treasure map looked like.

The purpose here is to patch up Rei Furuya and make him think that he is a real and honest person.

Judging from the look in Rei Furuya's eyes now, this additional clause added by Tachibana Shizuka is still worthwhile.

"So these are pretty much the requirements. Mr. Amuro, do you have anything to add?" Tachibana Shizuka turned to Furuya Rei and asked.

"No, Tachibana-san, you've been very thoughtful. I'll be grateful for your guidance for the next period of time."

Soon, Midori Kuriyama drafted the agreement according to Shizuka Tachibana's request, and made three copies for Shizuka Tachibana and Rei Furuya to sign respectively.

After signing the agreement, Tachibana Shizuka and Furuya Rei did not stay in the office for long. They left the office and went downstairs to the office.

"So, does Tachibana have any leads on Kabane's accomplices or the Maple Leaf gold coins? Speaking of which, Kabane has been arrested for a few days, and there doesn't seem to be much news about his accomplices?"

Rei Furuya is really not interested in the Italian bandit gangs. This is the job of the criminal police and it is not the turn of him, an agent, to intervene.

Excessively overstepping the boundaries of investigation would only make colleagues in other departments feel that he was meddling in other people's business, and in fact, he did not have the energy to do everything himself.

"Clues? None at all, but I do have some guesses."
