Conan Rick's Investigator

People in the surrounding neighborhood have been saying recently that Zhibo Detective Agency has added a new detective, who is young, handsome, gentle, reliable, and most importantly, can take on commissions of all sizes.

I never have to go to the Maori Agency again and get the cold shoulder from Maori Detective just because the commission is too small!

Therefore, in the recent reputation of residents in the nearby blocks, Zhibo Detective Agency has surpassed Maori Detective Agency.

Just after opening, a client came to our store.

"Welcome, is there anything you would like to consult or entrust?"

Amuro showed a standard smile that she used when interacting with people, which made the middle-aged man outside feel a little flattered.

The man scratched his head. "Well... I came here because someone recommended me. I'd like to ask you to help me find a lost watch."

"Okay, please come in and we'll talk in detail."

Toru Amuro invited everyone to sit on the sofa and prepared tea himself.

Qin Zhibo also walked over from behind the desk and observed the middle-aged man who looked like a big-mouthed monkey.

Hideo Goda, 49 years old, shop owner, social credit score 1100.

The basic identity information seemed to be fine, so Qin Zhibo formally asked the man why he came.

It turned out that the watch the man was looking for was an old clockwork watch left by his wife who had passed away not long ago.

Although it is not worth much, it is very memorable because it was an engagement gift I gave to my wife.

"That watch should be somewhere at home now..."

"My wife comes to me in my dreams every night. She always asks..."

"What time is it now—what time is it now—"

Hu Tian's voice was low and he tried to imitate the ghost's voice in order to create a better atmosphere.

But Qin Zhibo and Amuro Toru were not moved at all, and the expressions on their faces seemed to say "Oh, so that's how it is..."

Looking at the two people's calm expressions, Hu Tian felt a little nervous, afraid that his commission would not impress the other party.

In fact, before coming here, Goda had casually visited some roadside detective agencies.

However, all the firms rejected the case on the grounds that the commission was too small. After all, it was just a matter of finding something at home, so it would not be appropriate to charge too much commission, but charging too little would mean a huge loss.

It wasn't until his neighbor told him about the nearby Tomohiro Detective Agency, where the young detectives were willing to accept any commission, no matter how small, that Goda's hope was rekindled.

After all, if the detective didn't show up, his next plan wouldn't be able to be implemented...

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and said solemnly, "We have accepted this commission, but we would also like to inform you of the firm's fee standards."

"The fee for finding items is based on the area and the type of item. If you're in Beika Town, the fee is 4 yen."

Generally speaking, it is easier to find a dead thing than a living thing.

But it's just the opposite here for Qin Zhibo. The price of finding items is exactly twice as high as that of finding pets.

Because when looking for a specific pet, there is usually a photo, and pets are unique, it is easier to find them using a missing object spell.

However, unless the item is extremely valuable, there are usually no photos and it is usually not unique, so it is difficult for the finding spell to work.

It is normal for the price to double.

Of course, there is no need for Qin Zhibo to explain these reasons one by one. The charging standards are set this way. It is up to you whether you accept it or not.

After hearing Qin Zhibo's high price, Hu Tian looked a little embarrassed and glanced at the watch on his wrist.

Although the price was a bit high, I gritted my teeth and accepted it for the sake of my plan.

"4 is 4..."

"Then please come to my house. My house is nearby..."

……

Goda's home is in an apartment building in a nearby block.

As soon as you enter the entrance hall, you will see a bottle of pink roses on the cabinet in the entrance hall.

Although today is Valentine's Day, judging from the wilting of the petals, this vase of flowers has been out for some time.

The apartment is about 70 square meters, which is not very large, but it is full of clutter, which makes it more difficult to find the watch.

In one of the largest rooms, thousands of videotapes lined the shelves.

There is also a 50-inch TV, which is considered an extremely large screen in this era. LD, DVD, AV amplifier, audio and other equipment are also available. The remote control alone can take up an entire desktop.

"I love watching movies, so I collected a lot of stuff about that..."

Before Goda could finish his introduction, a bell rang outside the door.

"Wait a moment, I'll go take a look..."

Hu Tian heard the sound and left.

Qin Zhibo was feeling a little excited, so he followed him to the corridor where he could see the door.

But when the door opened, the person standing outside was not Conan that Qin Zhibo was expecting.

This is a fat aunt wearing glasses. She has a short, thick and fat body and is wearing a pink woolen coat. Her mouth looks like a toad and has flaming red lips.

This extraordinary temperament and secure figure reminded Qin Zhibo of a famous figure in his previous life.

Eardrum massage, hearing care, professional rich woman... they all refer to her.

The fat lady came up and stretched out her hand, "Come on, are you ready?"

Hutian looked a little embarrassed and took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, "Finally, I have collected 500 million..."

The fat lady took the money and said rudely, "Five million? That's 500 million short."

Hu Tian quickly apologized and said, "If you don't have enough money, I can raise it after I sell this house."

The fat aunt then smiled brightly, "Oh, I don't mean to kick you out~"

"If so..."

Goda pulled out another videotape from his treasure-trove inner pocket. "Thank you very much for your time. I heard you were looking for this videotape of 'Sakura Sanjuro'. I finally found it..."

"Really?" The fat lady's eyes lit up and she immediately took the videotape from Hutian. "Then I'll just watch it on your big TV."

"Of course you're welcome, please..."

Before Hutian could finish his words, the fat lady had already changed into slippers as if she was back home.

"Shin..." There was a hint of embarrassment on Hu Tian's face, but he still said the second word.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing in the corridor, saw this and understood that the relationship between the two was that of a creditor and a borrower.

It seems that the people in Mihua also have simple customs, unlike the people in the future, where the creditor is like a grandson and the debtor is like a grandfather.

The fat lady passed by Qin Zhibo with an imposing manner, just glanced at him and did not introduce herself.

But when she walked next to Toru Amuro, the fat aunt's eyes lit up and she immediately became interested.

"Who is this……"

Without waiting for Goda to come up and introduce himself, Amuro Toru took the initiative to introduce himself with a smile: "My name is Amuro Toru, and I'm here to visit."

Toru Amuro has a strong sense of professional ethics and did not say that he is a detective, which would indirectly expose the client's commission.

Seeing Toru Amuro's confident smile as if bathed in sunshine, the fat aunt opened her eyes wider, and the word "heart-beating" was written on her face.

She paused for a moment before introducing herself: "My name is Izuki Eiko, and I'm the landlord of this entire apartment building."

"Handsome boy, are you interested in going out for dinner later?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo almost spit out laughter.

This elder sister is really lustful!

Amuro Toru, who was favored by the rich woman, was stunned for a moment, but then he adjusted his composure and responded with a polite smile.

"Thank you for your invitation, but I have other things to do next and don't have time to accept your invitation."

Aunt Izukui showed a skeptical look on her face and asked, "Today is a special day. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Amuro Toru still had a polite and gentle smile on his face and shook his head, "No."

"Then leave your contact information so we can communicate when we have time in the future."

"Actually, I don't just rent out this building. I also own some properties in other places..."

Aunt Izuki adheres to the spirit of "leave a message when someone passes by, and pluck feathers when a wild goose passes by", and she must get something from Amuro Toru.

He shows off his wealth without any scruples. This seems like he's going to be kept by someone!

And Toru Amuro did not refuse. He wrote down the phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to Aunt Dezuki.

Aunt Izuki took a look, carefully put the paper with the phone number written on it into her pocket, gave Amuro Toru a deep look, and went to her room to watch a movie alone.

This electric look made even Qin Zhibo, a bystander, shudder.

But as the recipient, Toru Amuro still had a smile on his face and looked calm.

For this, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but raise his hand and give Amuro Toru a thumbs up.

Amuro Toru was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong, teacher?"

Qin Zhibo couldn't think of anything else to say, so he could only express his admiration.

"You're really resistant to dirt..."

Amuro Toru glanced at the room where Aunt Izuki was and realized, "Is the teacher talking about that aunt?"

"I've dealt with people like this before, so I can handle them with ease."

Toru Amuro was not lying. One of his part-time jobs was as a nightclub bartender. His handsome appearance and unique skin color and hair made him the target of rich women more than once.

Even the bar owner has repeatedly advised Amuro Toru to debut as a gigolo, saying that he doesn't even need plastic surgery and can make a lot of money.

However, Toru Amuro is still relatively upright and did not fall for the sugar-coated bullets of rich women.

"And the phone number I left her was the teacher's..."

Another sentence from Toru Amuro startled Qin Zhibo.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true." Amuro Toru showed a harmless smile on his face.

Qin Zhibo was struck by lightning and was so frightened that he quickly took out his cell phone and turned it off in one go.

Looking at Qin Zhibo's reaction, Amuro Toru seemed to be thinking about something.

Is Qin Zhibo’s weakness rich women?

Chapter 706: A Proof Question (Two in One)

Afraid of rich women?

What kind of weakness is this?

Toru Amuro looked at Qin Zhibo with a complicated look in his eyes.

……

In the apartment building, Qin Zhibo and Amuro Toru officially began to search for the watch that belonged to Goda's dead wife.

Without a photo of the watch, it was difficult for Qin Zhibo to imagine an "old-fashioned golden clockwork watch" in his mind, which made it impossible to use the finding spell.

Helplessly, the two could only use the most primitive method to search in Hutian's home.

I searched everywhere, from the bedroom, the kitchen, the dining room, under the sofa, and inside the cabinets, but it was nowhere to be found.

In the middle of the meal, Hutian made sandwiches as a reward for the two detectives.

After busying himself in the kitchen for a while, Hutian brought out a few sandwiches.

"Actually, I've opened a coffee shop in Rice Flower Commercial Street before, and I'm quite confident in my craftsmanship."

"Please taste it..."

Toru Amuro first took a sandwich from the plate and put it in his mouth and started chewing.

“It tastes really good…”
