Stay away from Conan

Chapter 279 International Long Distance

In the morning after Valentine's Day, Haihara Ai, who had already woken up, waited until Gao Yuan got up first and went downstairs to make breakfast. Then he got up from the bed and quietly went to Gao Yuan's bedroom to take a look before washing up.

After seeing that the chocolates he gave had been opened and eaten, Haihara Ai couldn't help but smile lightly, then went back to the room and put on new clothes.

Today, Haibara Ai is wearing a pure white sweater, a lavender long-sleeved denim jacket, a black cotton pleated skirt, the hem of which just reaches the knees, and white shorts on her feet. socks.

The whole outfit makes Haihara Ai very cute today. The slightly long sleeves vaguely hide the "lover" bracelet on her wrist.

And Haiyuan Ai was obviously in a good mood. With light steps, she went downstairs to the living room to prepare for breakfast.

Sitting on the dining table in the living room, the news was playing on the LCD TV hanging on the wall. Haihara Ai looked at the plate of spaghetti on his seat. He directly picked up the fork on the table with his right hand and rolled it. After rolling the noodles, he lowered his head, lifted his temple hair with his left hand, and took a bite elegantly.

In this regard, Haiyuan Ai feels that such days are extremely comfortable.

Although the body has become smaller, because it is separated from the tissue, there is no need to worry so much anymore, and there is no need to continue to focus on drug development.

Compared to the past, perhaps this kind of life is the childhood of ordinary people.

Sitting opposite Haiyuan Ai, Gao Yuan, who had just finished breakfast, couldn't help but smile lightly when he looked at Haiyuan Ai who was wearing cute clothes and moving elegantly.

But when he thought about the return gift next month, Gao Yuan was inexplicably worried. After all, he didn't know how to return the gift after receiving "Giri Chocolate", but he felt that he couldn't do it hastily and had to think about it carefully.

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan shook his head helplessly. He felt rationally that it was more important to accept the commission quickly and make some money now than what would happen a month later.

So, Gao Yuan got up and took his plate to the kitchen to wash it, and then considered whether he should go out to find Mr. Kizui Hōro, the owner of the "Detective Agency" today, and ask if he had any commissions.

"Financial tycoon Daigoro Noguchi passed away yesterday. When Daigoro Noguchi was alive, in addition to the financial world, he also ran real estate, hotels and restaurants and other service industries, and was even involved in the entertainment and gambling industry. His ruthless methods were unparalleled in the industry. No one knows it, no one knows it.”

At this time, a piece of news was being broadcast on the TV screen, and a grand funeral was broadcast on the TV screen.

Listening to such reports, Gao Yuan, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, had some inexplicable thoughts - the death of a financial tycoon... wouldn't it cause any inheritance disputes?

"Huh? That person seemed to be at the party yesterday..."

Huihara Ai, who was still having breakfast, raised his head and glanced at the TV screen. He unexpectedly saw a familiar face on it and couldn't help but said with some surprise.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan walked out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and saw the picture on the TV screen. Then he felt inexplicably enlightened - yes, naturally this eldest lady was the only one who could attend such a funeral.

At the same time, a similar situation also occurred in the Poirot Café downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency——

"What's the financial world? It's just a loan shark!"

Looking at the report on the TV screen, Mouri Kogoro, who was having breakfast in the coffee shop, sneered at the content of the report.

"Hey? Uncle, do you know the inside story?"

Conan, who was still eating his sandwich, stopped and asked Mouri Kogoro.

"kindness."

Mouri Kogoro said with some disgust:

"He made usury loans and raised the interest to the highest level allowed by the law. When the store where the money was borrowed could not repay the loan, he forcibly took over the store. This was his favorite method. The hotels he allegedly ran and That’s how restaurants come about.”

Saying that, Mouri Kogoro frowned:

"For such a person, no one except his relatives will shed tears for him."

"Huh? He is obviously a super rich man, but he has to die so lonely."

Mao Lilan couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, while Conan looked at the TV screen in surprise:

"Sister Xiaolan, that person is not sister Yuanzi!"

On the screen, Suzuki Sonoko, also wearing mourning clothes, appeared in front of the incense burning table in the temple lobby with a serious and strange expression.

"Really!"

Xiaolan put down the coffee in her hand and couldn't help but be attracted by the TV picture:

"So, Sonoko did say when he left yesterday that he had to attend the funeral of an acquaintance on behalf of Uncle Jiroji. It turned out to be his funeral!"

"Really, how can a high school girl go through such a scene?"

Kogoro sighed a little at this.

"I heard that they went to buy a fifty-carat sapphire that was being auctioned in New York. Sonoko's parents also went there."

Xiaolan explained.

"Hey, he is indeed a rich man."

After hearing this, Kogoro said with great envy.

"Noguchi Daigoro's inheritance is estimated to be at least more than 2 billion yen, and diamonds account for most of it."

At this time, the reporter on the TV started reporting again.

"Noguchi Daigoro's estate will be inherited jointly by his daughter Noguchi Yuri from his first wife and his daughter Noguchi Miki from his second wife."

As the reporter explained, two young women in mourning clothes appeared on the screen. One is in his early twenties and the other is slightly older. Both of them are slim and have long flowing hair. They are rare beauties.

"When their mothers were alive, the relationship was notoriously bad. Of course, the relationship between the two daughters was also very bad. They often fought for the same things."

The on-site reporter said that he ended the on-site report and the camera moved back to the studio.

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but smile helplessly and thought to himself - it seems that there might be an inheritance dispute!

"Hey, the battle for inheritance is definitely sparking."

At this time, Kogoro seemed to be disgusted with Noguchi Daigoro himself, and Kogoro said with some gloating.

"There are billions of inheritances. This kind of thing shouldn't happen, right? Two people can become super rich immediately, right?"

Xiaolan said puzzledly.

"You really don't know the world. Rich people have a much stronger desire for money than ordinary people!"

Kogoro said.

"snort!"

Xiaolan was a little unhappy when Kogoro said this, and then retorted:

"But Yuanzi and Yuanzi's parents are not like this!"

"Fool!"

When Xiaolan said this, Kogoro also retorted:

"They are at a different level than these people. They are exceptions among exceptions!"

Just as she was talking, Xiaolan's cell phone rang loudly. The caller ID number started with "011", which was an international long distance call from the United States.

Xiaolan didn't quite understand what was going on for a moment, but she still answered the phone——

"Ah, it turns out to be Sonoko's father! What? Shinichi...Sorry, I haven't been able to contact you recently...Mr. Akechi? He should be here!"

Hearing what Xiaolan said, Conan couldn't help but be curious.

"What? Sonoko and Miss Noguchi Yuri were kidnapped together!"

Xiaolan was immediately surprised and shouted out:

"We are watching TV... The picture of Sonoko just appeared... Yes, the kidnapping was not mentioned on TV... What? The criminal said he was not allowed to call the police, so he issued a gag order to the media... I understand , I will contact Mr. Mingzhi immediately!”

With that said, Xiaolan hung up the phone, and then immediately dialed Mingzhi Gaoyuan's number...
