The meal cost 700 yen. Narumi Kiyotaka estimated that 50,000 yen would not last long, and the commission must be solved as soon as possible. As a rookie detective, Narumi Kiyotaka obviously had no investigative experience, and the system did not give any prompts.
After much thought, Narumi Kiyotaka decided to investigate Mr. Seba as his client first. Starting from his interpersonal relationships, he might be able to find new clues.
The Internet has not yet become popular, how to investigate a person? How does Conan deal with this kind of problem? It seems to be calling Dr. Agasa or other friends, just like a humanoid search engine. However, he does not have such a tool, Narumi
Kiyotaka found that he was in a place he was unfamiliar with and couldn't do anything.
"Mr. Narumi, do you have any troubles?" Seeing Narumi Kiyotaka looking a little worried, Azusa Enomoto couldn't help but ask.
If it is in martial arts novels, hotel waiters usually have a function similar to asking questions. Aren't today's waiters equivalent to the waiters in the past? Narumi Kiyotaka asked: "Does Miss Enomoto know about the Seba family?"
Azusa Enomoto shook his head, "I don't know."
"Are you talking about the Seba Group?" Narumi Kiyotaka followed the sound and saw an old man who was reading a newspaper.
[Shigeyoshi Shitara, 70 years old, veteran employee of Rice Flower Construction, frequent visitor to Polo Coffee Shop...]
Narumi Kiyotaka nodded, "Mr. Shitara, does he know?"
"Our company happened to have business dealings with them before..." Shigeyoshi Shitara said slowly. Before the 1990s, the Seba Group was also a well-known large enterprise. Until the economic bubble burst, although it did not directly go bankrupt, it still
It was greatly affected. It is said that I owe a lot of money to the bank and I am still not out of the debt crisis.
No matter how Narumi Kiyotaka heard it, he felt that this was a company that was about to decline. Why did he still insist on holding a banquet at this time? Even if he was threatened, he would not give up? Are rich people so concerned about face?
"By the way, half a year ago, Sewa Group's president, Mr. Sewa Tatsutoku, seemed to have had an accident. One of his legs was injured, and it was even in the news." Shigeyoshi Shitara said.
The person who entrusted Narumi Kiyotaka to Narumi Kiyotaka was none other than Seba Tundoku. One of his legs was bandaged and it seemed that it had not yet recovered. It was a pity that he had no skills before, otherwise he might have been able to tell something.
After dinner, Narumi Kiyotaka chatted with Shigekichi Shitara again. Seeing that there was no other news, Narumi Kiyotaka said goodbye and left. It was already getting late, so he went to a convenience store to buy some daily necessities, newspapers and magazines. Narumi Kiyotaka returned directly.
Home.
When I got home, Narumi Kiyotaka's laziness broke out, and it was impossible to work overtime. I was unwilling to do it before, let alone now. I forgot about commissions for the time being, since there were still a few days left. The nightlife in Tokyo is very rich, but that
They all need money, so Narumi Kiyotaka can only rely on television, newspapers and magazines to relax.
Early the next morning, Narumi Kiyotaka habitually touched his mobile phone on the bedside. After a while, he finally realized that he seemed to have traveled through time, but his mobile phone did not follow him.
After washing up, Narumi Kiyotaka went to Polo Coffee Shop to have breakfast, "a cup of coffee and a sandwich!"
There was a newspaper on the bar. Narumi Kiyotaka was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. He glanced at the date on the newspaper and almost spat out, "What the hell? It was only Monday yesterday and today is Saturday? Did he sleep for five nights?"
sky?"
In order to confirm the date, he bought a newspaper yesterday, and he clearly remembered that it was Monday. He knew that the timeline in Conan was very confusing, and even forced someone to become a snake. But Kudo Shinichi has not yet become Conan, he has already
Are you starting to show off your power?
The banquet was being held today. Picking up the sandwich, Narumi Kiyotaka hurriedly stood up and left. The banquet was held at Seba Tsunoku's private villa. Although there was an address on the invitation, how to get to this address? You can check it online before traveling.
But where should I check now? Should I buy a map? After much deliberation, Narumi Kiyotaka decided to take a taxi and ask the driver to take him there directly.
It was early in the morning, and there were very few taxis. Narumi Kiyotaka waited for a long time before he found a car. After sitting for nearly an hour, the taxi finally arrived at Seba Suntoku's villa. Narumi Kiyotaka had long heard of taxis in Japan.
It was expensive, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive. I spent a full 20,000 yen, and my wallet was nearly half empty in an instant.
Taking out the invitation letter, Narumi Kiyotaka entered the villa smoothly. It seemed that the party had not started yet. Under the guidance of the servant, Narumi Kiyotaka quickly met the owner of the villa.
[Tundoku Seha, 65 years old, head of the Seha family...]
"Detective Narumi, I wonder if you have found anything in the past few days?" Sewa Tatsunoku asked, still sitting in the wheelchair.
How to answer? He traveled directly from Monday to Saturday without having time to investigate further? Narumi Kiyotaka seriously doubted whether the other party would directly send him to a mental hospital!
Narumi Kiyotaka said vaguely: "I already have some clues. I still need to take a look at the banquet."
A smile flashed across Seba Tundoku's face, and soon disappeared. Glancing at a middle-aged man next to him, Sewa Tundoku said: "This is my butler Yoshikawa. If you have any questions or needs, you can
Go to him directly! Detective Yoshikawa and Narumi are also guests today, so be sure to treat him well!"
After giving the instructions, Seba Tundoku left directly. Narumi Kiyotaka stared at Seba Tundoku's back thoughtfully. There was no trace of worry on the other person's face, as if he really thought it was just a prank.
"Do you need anything, Mr. Narumi?" Butler Yoshikawa asked.
Narumi Kiyotaka said: "Can I ask Butler Yoshikawa to help introduce the identities of the guests and their relationship with Mr. Seba." Skills are not omnipotent. They just make the best judgment possible based on various known information. And with so many guests, all of them
Looking at it with skills, it must be quite tiring.
In the following time, while receiving guests, Butler Yoshikawa introduced to Narumi Kiyotaka in a low voice, "This is the eldest young master of the Kurokawa family... This is the second young lady of the Mizushima family... This is the barrister of Baling Bank."
Sir...this is a famous doctor..."
Butler Yoshikawa didn't say much about the relationship between these people and Seha Tundoku, as if he was concerned about his master's privacy. Narumi Kiyotaka only knew that these people were family friends or business friends of the Seha family. As for whether there were any quarrels, one
A qualified housekeeper will definitely not disclose it casually.
Not long after, the banquet officially started, with exquisite food, elegant music, and everyone chatting and dancing. Narumi Kiyotaka had outstanding appearance, and women came to chat with him from time to time. In order to find out the news, Narumi Kiyotaka could only make a small sacrifice.
"Mr. Narumi is a good dancer and has a good figure. Are you interested in being my personal trainer?"
"Detective Narumi, are you free tonight? Something happened to be missing in my room. Can you help me investigate it?"
…
Suddenly there was a scream from upstairs, and Narumi Kiyotaka felt a chill in his heart, as if he was remembering a familiar BGM song!
