It's just a grocery store.

Chapter 290 This is a ruthless person

The Mouri Detective Agency is usually as quiet as it is today, even Kogoro Mouri fell asleep on the table.

The TV was broadcasting a news story from half a year ago, in which a killer named Silver Fox was involved in a baby carriage overturning after completing a mission, resulting in the death of a little girl in the carriage.

The news host is now introducing that the road is the scene of the accident that happened half a year ago. Ling Cheng and Conan happened to have seen that case before.

It’s just because this case was indeed an accident, just as the news said. If I have to say something, I can only say that Silver Fox, who took action on the street, cannot escape responsibility.

Ling Cheng: "I don't think he can be caught. To be a killer, he must have some hidden abilities."

Conan: "Yeah, it's been half a year, there's not much hope."

As they were talking, the door of the detective agency was opened. It turned out to be a customer. Ling Cheng and Conan, who were chatting, immediately looked up and looked over with very dull eyes.

Xiaolan walked over and woke up Kogoro Mouri, then grabbed his hair and lifted him up to force him to turn on the computer.

Maori Kogoro was awake now, but still in a drowsy state.

"It's so noisy, can you please lower your voice a little?"

Xiaolan reminded him softly:

"You are still sleeping, and the guests are already here."

Ling Cheng jumped off the sofa, gave his seat to the guest, and ran over to sit opposite Conan.

The gentleman walked in directly, sat in the seat that Ling Cheng had just vacated, and took a deep breath. Maori Kogoro was sober now, and looked at the man with a panic expression for a moment.

The guest turned around and looked over.

"I'm really sorry to bother you."

Kogoro Mouri laughed awkwardly, stood up quickly, and then urged Ling Cheng and Conan, who were sitting on the sofa on the other side, to sit opposite the customer.

Ling Cheng was driven down and curled his lips, then lay back on the sofa to watch their conversation.

What followed was the usual questioning of the commission, and the man's commission was to find a killer and tell him not to kill him.

The reason turned out to be that the man in front of him hired a killer to kill him. When asked why he hired a killer, he began to explain.

Shio Bunzo: "Don't look at me like this. After all, I'm the president of the Tokyo branch of Kansai Real Estate Agency."

"Five days ago, when I went for a health checkup, they misdiagnosed a small stomach ulcer as stomach cancer."

The client, Mr. Chao, began to explain the cause and effect.

"When the doctors and nurses there told me what was happening, I was shocked to find out I had cancer."

The client lowered his head, and Maori Kogoro interrupted with a helpless look on his face:

"Could it be that you originally hired a professional killer to kill you?"

Kogoro Mouri immediately guessed what he hadn't finished saying. Ling Cheng turned to look at Conan, his face full of disbelief.

Ling Cheng: Wow, this uncle is awesome. Knowing he was going to die, he actually wanted to die early and be reborn. He even hired a killer. Where did he get the channels?

Conan also frowned. He did not agree with this approach. And why did he not want to die now and could not contact the killer he hired?

The client nodded at Maori Kogoro's speculation and repeated affirmatively:

"Yes, it's the Silver Fox!"

"silver fox!?"

Instead, Kogoro Mouri and others sitting opposite the client screamed and repeated Silver Fox's name. Isn't this the killer mentioned in the news just now?

Ling Cheng was surprised. How could such a coincidence happen? They had just been talking about this person, and now a client had asked them to find the killer.

"However, when I discovered this was a misunderstanding, I used all the connections and relationships that could help me with my work, and after much effort, I hoped to get in touch with Silver Fox."

"At first, whether it was sending money or contacting someone, I tried to spread the message as much as possible through the internet. By the time I finally got in touch with Silver Fox, a month had passed."

"That is to say, if I want to contact him again, it won't be that easy."

Ling Cheng: Haha, you are really patient. In this time, you would jump onto the rooftop and you wouldn’t know how many times you have been reincarnated.

Conan showed his half-moon eyes, Maori Kogoro nodded,

"I see. That's why you're looking for me, the famous detective Maori Kogoro. But, is what you said true? Are you just talking nonsense?"

As he spoke, Kogoro Mouri actually looked up and thought about this and that, as if he was trying to find the killer he was talking about. This attitude made the client opposite him so angry that he stood up and glared at him.

"What are you talking about? Don't you believe what I say?"

Kogoro Mouri realized that his behavior was inappropriate and tried to defend himself. Ling Cheng was watching the fun. Suddenly, Conan felt something and looked out the window. He saw someone on the roof of the opposite building.

Judging from the action, it was a sniper attack. Conan shouted, "Be careful!" and rushed over to knock the client down. Kogoro Mouri didn't know what was going on and was full of questions.

Only when the bullet broke the glass did he realize it and immediately turned around to knock Mao Lilan and Ling Cheng to the ground, not forgetting to remind them to lie down and not move.

"Damn it, that bastard Silver Fox."

Two more shots were fired, and Mr. Chao, who was knocked to the ground, stood up a little, while Conan crawled behind the sofa and slowly moved to the window step by step. He stood up to check after making sure it was safe.

Conan glanced around and found that there was no one on the rooftop opposite, so he made sure that everything was fine before speaking.

"I think it should be fine."

Only then did Kogoro Mouri let go of Ran Mouri and Ling Cheng. Ling Cheng sat up and rubbed his waist. The uncle had pounced too hard just now and bumped into him.

Moreover, he was pinned down and couldn't move at all, so Ling Cheng could only be protected obediently, and he became aware of the uncle's strength.

Although this uncle is a little confused, he is definitely not a loser. He is worthy of being a former criminal policeman and is still worth watching.

Kogoro Mouri got up and lay on the sofa, sighing. It was so thrilling just now. Xiaolan also sat up and found a wallet on the ground.

"What a beautiful wallet! What is this?"

Just as she was about to move closer to look at the photo above, the wallet was picked up by Mr. Chao, but his expression and tone suddenly became scary.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it."

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why her expression suddenly changed. Because her attitude change was too obvious, it also attracted the attention of Conan and Ling Cheng.

Kogoro Mouri looked at the window with heartache and was about to call the police, but was stopped by Mr. Chao, who said that he had hired the killer and the police should not intervene.

Ling Cheng pulled Mao Lilan, who hadn't reacted yet, aside and asked,

"Sister Xiaolan, what did you just see?"

Xiaolan, think about it.

"Just now, there was a photo of a little girl in the wallet. I think it might be his daughter, otherwise he wouldn't have put it in the wallet."

Ling Cheng nodded after listening, and then ran back over there. At this time, Mr. Chao was asking Maori Kogoro to bow while holding the table.

"Please, I'll take care of the compensation for your window."

Seeing him like this, Kogoro Mori could not say anything more and had to agree to the commission.
