If this kind of thing makes you shrink back, what will you do in the future?"
Ichiro Takayanagi started mocking Kogoro Mouri from a distance, but his main purpose was to mock that little brat Conan.
After the brat Edogawa Conan became an elementary school student, he has always been a little hateful.
Fortunately, he did not provoke Ichiro Takayanagi, otherwise Ichiro Takayanagi would have hung him up and beaten him.
If Edogawa Conan goes too far, then call his mother back and beat her in front of him.
"As a famous detective, I only deal with incidents, not ghosts and gods.
But Mr. Takayanagi does have different abilities, not just his excellent reasoning skills.
His abilities in certain areas are still extraordinary, and he might be able to solve their problems."
Of course, Kogoro Mori did respond, but he was still saying good things about Ichiro Takayanagi, as if he was deliberately trying to put the commission on Ichiro Takayanagi.
In fact, there was a young man in uniform next to the short and fat man.
It was obvious that he was a driver, and at this time he whispered something in the ear of the short and fat man.
"Mr. Akatsuka, since Detective Mori is unwilling to accept our invitation, we can try someone else and maybe it will work wonders."
They all work in the same manor. Since the driver has made such an advice, the butler Kenzo Akatsuka will of course choose to listen to the suggestion.
"Well, let's go over and talk first."
Butler Kenzo Akatsuka nodded, said goodbye to Kogoro Mori, and immediately walked towards Ichiro Takayanagi's office.
"Mr. Gao Yanagi, you must solve this problem. Maybe you can become a famous detective."
Kogoro Mori's voice was a little loud, as if he was trying to force Ichiro Takayanagi to make a choice, but Ichiro Takayanagi did not give any response.
"Kogoro, there's no chance of you provoking him by doing this."
The elementary school student Edogawa Conan jumped out immediately and addressed Mouri Kogoro in a very intimate way. Anyway, their relationship was very deep.
Kogoro Mouri had no intention of correcting Conan Edogawa's address, but instead looked at Conan Edogawa smugly.
"Little guy, sometimes you should not underestimate the means of us adults.
Although he didn't respond, he would definitely accept the commission."
Of course, Kogoro Mori, the elementary school student, enjoys Edogawa Conan very much, but he still needs to educate her more when necessary to let her know the hierarchy of this family.
Edogawa Conan didn't say anything else. He went straight upstairs to wait.
If Takayanagi Ichiro really accepted the invitation from those two people, they would definitely go out together later.
.............
Ichiro Takayanagi was watching the fun outside, and was pushed a commission by Kogoro Mouri from next door. Mika Takayanagi heard it clearly at home and thought that Kogoro Mouri was a little unkind.
However, when Kenzo Akatsuka and Katsufumi Watabiki came to the office, Mika Takayanagi still brought them water.
"We are not a detective agency but a credit agency. If your boss behind the scenes needs any credit business, I can provide it."
Ichiro Takayanagi had no intention of directly driving people away, but he just pointed out that he was a credit agency and his business was to do loan business.
Ichiro Takayanagi's words made the driver Katsushi Amaebiki a little nervous.
The reason why he persuaded his butler Akatsuka Kenzo to come here to seek help from Takayanagi Ichiro was not because he was the right person to do the job, but because he had his own plans.
If Ichiro Takayanagi directly rejected their request now, Kenzo Akatsuka might ask other detectives for help.
“Mr. Gao Liu, your modern firm should have just opened, so you may be lacking some clients.
It just so happens that the master of our family has a relatively deep network of contacts, and his friends are all business people, and occasionally they have relatively large loan needs.
If you can solve the supernatural incidents in our manor, you will be able to gain the friendship of our master, and then you will have a large number of potential customers."
Kenzo Akatsuka is a butler with high interpersonal skills, so he asked Ichiro Takayanagi to come out from another perspective.
After hearing what Akatsuka Kenzo said, Takayanagi Mika planned to refute it directly.
She had been watching the store for a long time and knew that Ichiro Takayanagi had no shortage of customers.
However, Takayanagi Ichiro secretly waved his hand at Takayanagi Mihua, indicating that she didn't need to refute anything.
"In that case, I'd like to hear what happened to your manor."
Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa don't want to take the case, but Ichiro Takayanagi wants to see what's going on.
If I successfully solve the problem, I can also mock the two detectives when I come back. Why not?
"The beginning of the supernatural events was a nightmare the master had two years ago."
After hearing what Ichiro Takayanagi said, Kenzo Akatsuka knew that Ichiro Takayanagi was interested, so he immediately told him the beginning of the story.
"Nightmare? If it's a nightmare, everyone will take the bus. How can it cause supernatural events?"
That's something wrong, everyone has nightmares.
If everyone had sweet dreams, the world would be a very peaceful place.
Kenzo Akatsuka did not comment on what Ichiro Takayanagi said, but continued his story.
"The master woke up in the middle of the night with a strange noise that was unimaginable in the world, and he kept repeating words like 'It's a curse, I will be killed.'"
Chapter 691 You are really a famous detective
"Like you said, it was just a nightmare.
And the unimaginable strange sounds you mentioned must be made by humans when they are unconscious.
It’s definitely hard to reproduce after the fact, and that’s not something that’s hard to explain.”
It is normal and strange for humans to do something or make any sound when they are unconscious, and it is definitely impossible to do it again.
If the housekeeper wanted to use this as a supernatural event, there was obviously something wrong.
Faced with Ichiro Takayanagi's answer, Kenzo Akatsuka did not argue, but refuted it calmly.
"If that was all, we certainly wouldn't think it was caused by a paranormal event.
It is because of some subsequent events that make us feel this way.
For example, half a year after the old man had his nightmare, the brakes of the car he was riding in suddenly stopped working, and he almost had a serious traffic accident.
At this time, Akatsuka Kenzo talked about the first time, and then looked at the driver Katsushima Amae sitting next to him.
"Mian Yin, I'm right, right? You were the one driving for the master at that time."
"Yes, Butler Akatsuka is right.
I was so sorry for not noticing the brake fluid was leaking."
Although the master was not with them now, he always expressed his apologies at this time, just wanting the butler Akatsuka Kenzo to convey his attitude.
However, Kenzo Akatsuka would not do such a thing. Instead, he continued to explain to Ichiro Takayanagi.
"Because of the unexpected impact, the master's heart had problems, his eye sockets became sunken, and his hair turned completely white in a short period of time."
Kenzo Akatsuka was also a little nervous when he said these words. If the protagonist in the manor died, their work would experience certain fluctuations.
"Even if you say your master woke up in the middle of the night and made strange noises, and there was an incident where an accident almost happened, it can only be considered an accident no matter how you look at it."
What Akatsuka Kenzo and Watabiki Katsufumi said were completely accidents and could not be considered supernatural events at all.
"Mr. Gao Yanagi, you are right to think so, but when we receive a card like this, we will definitely think in a supernatural direction."
As Akatsuka Kenzo said this, he took out a folded card from his body and handed it to Takayanagi Ichiro.
After opening the card, Ichiro Takayanagi discovered that the text on the card was machine-typed.
"Before I wake up, please confess your sins and make amends. I am the soul of the fifth person."
The text on this card does have a bit of a supernatural tone, no wonder the people over there think it is a supernatural event.
"You didn't give this card to Maori Kogoro just now. If he saw this card, he might think it was a case."
“The reputation of Maori detectives is not very big now. I came here to invite Maori detectives only after listening to the recommendation of immunity.
It's just that Detective Maori was too arrogant and didn't take us seriously at all, so we had no intention of showing him the note.
And he claimed that he wouldn't care about supernatural events, so even if I brought it out, he certainly wouldn't be curious."
In response to Ichiro Takayanagi's question, Kenzo Akatsuka gave an explanation, saying that he was a relatively responsible butler.
At this time, Takayanagi Mihua also sat next to Takayanagi Ichiro, because she also felt that something seemed to be wrong.
"Then let me ask, when did this card appear in that manor?"
"It should have been in the early spring of last year, and it was dropped directly into the mailbox.
At first we thought it was a prank, but when I showed it to the master, even the lady was frightened this time."
"There's one more person?"
“Yes, and then about half a year later, the dining cabinet suddenly fell down in the middle of the night.
In addition, in the first half of this year, strange noises were heard from the room where only the master and his wife were present.
When Akatsuka Kenzo was telling these stories, his body was shaking. It seemed that he was quite panicked about the supernatural events.
"Then may I ask again, are there any particular dates for these strange things to happen, such as a fixed day?"
Takayanagi Ichiro's question made Akatsuka Kenzo stunned for a moment, and Takayanagi Mika sat up straight at this time.
He didn't expect that Ichiro Takayanagi really had professional investigative capabilities and asked all the most critical questions.
“Although I am the housekeeper of the manor, I don’t remember these things very clearly, but I do remember the immune cotton.
Because he is not only young, but also has a notebook filled with things. "
After Akatsuka Kenzo finished speaking, Takayanagi Ichiro's gaze fell on Watabiki Katsushi.
After being called out by Kenzo Akatsuka, I could only take out a small notebook from my body.
“The first time was on February 4th two years ago. The master had a nightmare, and on July 4th of the same year, the car had an accident.
I received a strange card on February 4th of the year ago, and on July 4th of the same year, the dining cabinet fell down.
On April 4th of this year, I heard strange noises in the house, and this was the weirdest thing that happened.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Young people are more thoughtful. Basically, the dates are just those few times."
After hearing what Katsushima Amaebiki said, Kenzo Akatsuka nodded quickly.
"You wrote down all these things?" Gao Liu Mihua sighed at this time.
The fact that she could write down all these things must have something to do with the matter; it was a woman's intuition.
"Yes, my memory is not very good, so I write everything down."
After saying this, Mian Yin Sheng Shi put the notebook back.
"Mr. Gao Liu, did you find anything after listening to our story?"
“I found that if you said the font printing was a little crooked, I could see it.
But it is impossible to find other clues in it, whether it is me or anyone else. "
"Mr. Takayanagi, you are really a great detective. You can even notice this little detail.
After I got the card, I felt that the font on it was a little crooked, but I kept it in my heart and didn't say it out loud. "
Ichiro Takayanagi said that he had no gains, but Kenzo Akatsuka praised Ichiro Takayanagi as a famous detective at this time.
He was even so excited that he wanted to go over and hold Takayanagi Ichiro's hand, but was gently pushed away by Takayanagi Ichiro.
Chapter 692 Other Workers in the Manor
In fact, at the very beginning, when Kenzo Akatsuka received this threatening card, he found something wrong.
The font above was slightly tilted, but he did not mention this discovery.
Because he has strong personal management skills, it is unlikely that others will believe him after he speaks out.
But now Takayanagi Ichiro, who is not a detective, can actually see the difference in the threatening letter at a glance.
