Conan: Another Famous Detective

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.

In the past few days, in addition to accepting normal commissions, Akira Hanomiya's investigation of Kogoro Mouri has also slowly begun.

He and Mengyu started from two directions respectively.

Mengyu used her hacking skills to hack into the Metropolitan Police Department's system.

Nowadays, the Office of the Metropolitan Police Department is becoming more and more informatized, and many previous case materials have been imported into the system.

After simply deciphering the code, Mengyu quickly found out the information about Mouri Kogoro.

After graduating from the police academy, he was assigned to the traffic section, the search section 1, the third branch of the violent crime section, and was also transferred to the fire crime unit. He struggled all the way, and finally became the partner of Officer Megure.

In addition to basic information, cases that Mouri Kogoro had been involved in were also retrieved by Mengyu.

Not to mention, Uncle Maori has been a policeman for almost seven or eight years, and he has investigated quite a few cases.

However, Akira Hanomiya speculated that the opportunity for Uncle Mori to suddenly resign and become a detective should have been a case not long before that.

To be cautious, Mengyu screened the cases in the two years before Mouri Kogoro left his job, and filtered some petty theft cases again.

There are fewer than ten cases left.

But because details cannot be missed, every case requires reading through the lengthy case file.

This is still a lot of work.

At least in the past few days, Meng Yu and Yu Gongming haven't noticed anything unusual.

As for Hanamiya Akira, he was asking about the izakayas and small steel ball shops that Xiaolan and Conan Uncle Mouri often went to. After the racecourse, we went to those places to conduct visits and surveys.

He identified himself and asked Uncle Maori if he came here often and what his consumption here was.

Of course, it was not that the boss expressed doubts about Yu Gongming's inquiry. Yu Gongming made up a random reason, saying that his daughter asked him to investigate. His daughter Xiaolan was in charge of the family's money. She was afraid that her father would steal the family's money. Money to spend.

Those places were indeed frequented by Kogoro Mouri, and the boss was also familiar with Xiaolan. When he heard this reason, he looked very understanding and readily told Akira Hanamiya some information.

After getting this information, Yu Gongming found Xiaolan and Conan and asked them to recall the income that Uncle Maori can now earn by accepting commissions.

This is not an easy job.

The information given by the boss itself is relatively vague, and the time span is not long. After all, under normal circumstances, even regular customers cannot remember their consumption every time.

Fortunately, Xiaolan remembers quite clearly the commission fee for Kogoro Moori.

In order to implement the alcohol prohibition some time ago, Xiaolan strictly controlled every expenditure of Mouri Kogoro, and she would not leave out any commission fees for Moori Kogoro.

Xiaolan also recorded not only the amount in the saved power of attorney, but also the amount that the client later added due to Uncle Maori's outstanding performance.

Coupled with Conan's help in recalling, the income and expenditure of the Maori family in the past few months gradually unfolded before our eyes.

Conan looked at the printed income and expenditure statement in front of him, his eyes slightly solemn.

"It's strange that the commission fees and the expenses for messy things like horse racing are so close to each other. Not to mention how prosperous your and Xiaolan's lives were back then, but they didn't even go shopping or travel. It's strange. According to uncle's spending pattern, your family's economy should have collapsed long ago..." Yu Gongming commented.

Xiaolan was also a little surprised: "Although my father likes to bet on horses and play small steel balls, our family does not lack living expenses. I used to think that my father still knows how to measure, so although I don't like him playing these things, I don't like him too much." Stop...I didn’t expect that he spent so much money?”

"Then the question is, after investing almost all the commission fees in gambling activities, where does the living expenses come from? It can't be that Conan's foster care fees are used, right?"

"No! Dad has never touched the check given by his aunt!" Xiaolan shook her head.

"Obviously, uncle has extra income." Meng Yu said lightly.

"Extra income? What is it?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

"Is there a possibility that he is actually still receiving a salary from the Metropolitan Police Department?" Akira Hanomiya speculated.

Conan raised his eyebrows: "You're saying that my uncle is now an informant for the Metropolitan Police Department, and the extra income is equivalent to activity funds, right?"

"Yes." Yu Gongming nodded.

Meng Yu frowned: "But it's not easy to confirm this! I checked all the transfer records in uncle's passbook and bank card, and there are no abnormal transfers."

"In other words, uncle's extra income is likely to be paid directly in cash. As a detective, uncle often goes out alone and has too many opportunities to get cash."

"It's even possible that a passer-by touches the uncle and the cash has been delivered. If we follow the uncle for a long time, he may notice something unusual."

"It's not that there is no way." Yu Gongming said with a smile: "Do you think that if my uncle has been acting, then he will really be the kind of person who invests most of his income in gambling?"

Conan's eyes lit up: "What do you mean..."

Yu Gongming looked at Meng Yu with a smile: "It's up to you!"

Meng Yu nodded understandingly: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Um, who can explain to me what you were talking about just now?" Xiaolan raised her hand weakly.

"Let me tell you." Conan took the initiative to explain: "If uncle doesn't go betting on horse racing for pure entertainment, then the whereabouts of the money will be quite intriguing."

"The investigation department's whereabouts of the money may be able to give us more clues."

"That's it..." Xiaolan suddenly realized.

"By the way, has Uncle Maori behaved strangely recently?" Akira Yunomiya asked.

Xiaolan and Conan looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"At least when he was in the office, he was no different from usual. As for when he went out, he was not sure." Conan said.

Yu Gongming nodded: "Then continue to pay attention and contact us if you have any clues."

"Yeah!" Xiaolan and Conan both nodded.

"Okay, then we'll be there today..." Before Yu Gongming could finish his words, Conan's cell phone suddenly rang.

Conan took out his phone and looked at it, his expression changed slightly: "It's Sera calling!"

"Oh? What does she want to do?" Yu Gongming became interested.

"I'm curious too." Conan said and answered the phone.

"Hey! Sister Sera... eh? Invite us to your place as guests? Well... I see... I can't make the decision on this, eh! I'll contact you when there are results! Goodbye!"

Conan hung up the phone and said to several people: "" Seriang wants to invite us to her place as guests, and she also made a request. "
