Chapter 143 The missing novelist "What is going on with this child's elders!"
Miyano Akemi suddenly spoke, her words full of resentment: "When you found her yesterday, she was lying in a pool of heavy rain... It's the same today, they are really irresponsible!"
Hearing this, Fujino looked at Miyano Akemi and couldn't help but be stunned.
Ever since Hun Lotus was born, she seemed to be kind and gentle.
This seemed to be the first time she had lost her temper.
Maybe it's because of Haihara Ai?
Right.
Although they have lost their memory, they are still sisters.
Some fetters are unstoppable.
Just like that, Miyano Akemi stayed at Fujino's bedside to take care of Haibara Ai who was still asleep all day long.
This time Haibara Ai's condition was even more serious than last time.
The two of them were busy working until noon, and Huihara Ai's body temperature returned to normal.
In a blink of an eye, the time came to the afternoon, approaching night.
"Ding dong!"
A doorbell rang.
"Are there any guests here?"
Miyano Akemi, who was taking care of Hui Yuan Ai by the bed, just wanted to get up when Fujino pushed her down again.
"This time period should be the principal."
Fujino stood up slowly, "Sister Mingmei, take a rest first, and I'll open the door."
After that, Fujino walked slowly to the detective agency on the second floor.
Just as Fujino left, Haibara Ai woke up from her dream.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar room.
She sat up slowly, covered her aching head, and then dropped a wet towel in front of her.
"You are still very weak, lie down first."
At this time, a familiar female voice came from my ear.
Hui Yuanai turned her head to look, and saw Fujino Akemi sitting beside the bed, who looked very much like her sister.
"Have you come back here before you know it..."
Hui Yuanai narrowed his eyes.
To be honest, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't figure out why she came back here...
Whether it's the woman who looks like his sister or the good guy who is a high school detective.
It gave her a strange feeling.
"Why are you back again?"
Miyano Akemi turned her gaze to Haibara Ai and wondered, "Did she get kicked out of that relative's house?!"
"no……"
Hui Yuanai shook his head and whispered, "I slipped out by myself."
"Sneaked out by yourself?"
Miyano Akemi frowned upon hearing this.
Could it be that he didn't adapt to the environment of relatives' home?
Should not be ah.
He must be unwilling to speak.
Thinking about it, Miyano Akemi continued: "Then do you know your parents' contact numbers? Let me help you contact them."
"my parents……"
Huiyuan paused for a moment before continuing to speak: "They are all dead."
Miyano Akemi was also taken aback when she heard the words, and then continued to ask: "Then do you have any other relatives, or any relatives?"
Ai Haibara shook her head.
Miyano Akemi was silent.
Inexplicably, she felt that the little girl in front of her had the same problem as her.
At least she has a brother who is not bad.
But this kid......
On the other side, Fujino had just arrived from the fourth floor to the third floor when he saw a young woman standing in front of the detective office in the corridor.
It was a young girl who looked about 20 years old. She had long brown hair and slightly squinted eyes. She was wearing a dark green dress, an off-white suit jacket, and was carrying a small handbag. Her appearance was very charming. , there is a delicate, subdued girlish feeling.
"Do you have anything to do with me, please?"
Looking away, Fujino asked the girl doubtfully.
The girl turned around when she heard the words, and after taking a look at Fujino, she asked suspiciously: "Excuse me, are you Detective Fujino?"
"Yes, I am."
"Actually, I have some things I want to entrust..."
After confirming that the other party was the client, Fujino warmly invited the girl into the detective agency.
Walking into the detective agency, the girl looked curiously at the simple and luxurious layout around her, and then followed Fujino to sit on the sofa for receiving guests.
"My name is Xinming Xiangbaoli."
The woman took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Fujino.
Fujino took the business card.
The overall layout of the business card is very simple and white. It contains the company where Shinami Kahoori currently works, his home address, and his contact number...
Well, it turns out this girl is ol.
But then again, he will have to make a business card someday.
Fujino put away his business card, glanced at Shinna Kahori who was sitting opposite, and asked doubtfully, "Are you the daughter of that best-selling novelist Shinna Rentaro?"
Shinname Kahoori nodded, "That is my father."
"Is that so..."
Fujino narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
If he remembered correctly, this should be the new name Rentaro in the mystery novelist's disappearance case.
His new name is Rentaro, a famous mystery novelist whose representative work is Detective Zuomonji.
Zuo Wenzi is a virtual detective who holds a wooden sword and wears all black. He likes to show off by taking out his wooden sword and speaking wise words.
Speaking of which, the role he played at the ski resort a while ago was that of detective Zuo Wenzi.
In fact, there is no need to act. The classic windbreaker and suit he usually wears are enough to resemble Zuo Wenzi.
And he also has the nickname Detective Zuo Wenwen.
But, he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, he has so many nicknames that he can't remember them all.
What kind of dark detective, Poirot in the Heisei era, detective Zuowen... and so on.
"It turns out to be Mr. Shinname's daughter."
After confirming the identity of the other party, Fujino poured a cup of black tea and got down to the topic: "I don't know if Miss Niina came to me with something to entrust."
Xinming Xiangbaoli lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "Actually, my father is missing."
"Mr. Shinname is missing?"
Fujino pushed the black tea to Xinming Xiangbaoli and asked plainly.
"Yes."
Niina Kahori picked up the black tea, took a sip and continued: "Not only my father, but my mother also disappeared. She only left a 'note to go out for a while' and left."
"When did they disappear?"
Fujino asked further.
After thinking for a moment, the new name Xiangbaoli replied: "The time of disappearance was about two months ago, August No. 12 of the week before the publication of the detective left text in the literary age."
"August "
Fujino took out his phone and glanced at today's time.
It is October , Saturday.
Well, the timeline of Ke Xue's world is still as weird as ever.
Putting the phone away, Fujino continued to ask Niina Kahori: "How did you find out that they were missing? Under normal circumstances, if you have been missing for two months and there has been no contact, even if you don't call the police, the people around you should also call the police, right?"
Although he knew some of the plot, he still had to ask for details.
After all, if there is a deviation from the memory, it will be embarrassing at that time.
"Normally that's the case."
Niina Kahori nodded in agreement and explained: "I also tried to call the police, but since there were no threatening phone calls, the editorial office also received manuscripts normally every week, so they advised me that I didn't need to worry at all. .”
"They haven't contacted me for two months. I've asked everyone I know, but no one knows their whereabouts... I'm really worried about them."
As he said that, tears welled up in Shinna Kabori's slightly narrowed eyes, "To be honest, I have been to other detective agencies, but their answers are all the same, and I found Fujino through many inquiries from acquaintances." Detective you here..."
Saying that, Niina Kahori raised his head and turned his tearful eyes to Fujino, his eyes full of expectation: "The only one who can help me now is you, Detective Fujino."
"Under normal circumstances, this matter is really not worth entrusting..."
"how so."
After getting the same answer, Niina Kahori lowered his head, his expression of disappointment revealed.
"But I'm different from those unprofessional detectives."
After giving it up, Fujino continued: "As long as it is an entrustment from the client, I will accept it. Even if you are not kidnapped, I will still help you find it."
"thank you very much!"
After receiving the answer that he accepted the commission, Niina Kahori bowed and thanked him.
"As for the entrustment fee... since the nature of this case has not yet been determined, the entrustment fee cannot be confirmed yet."
With that said, Fujino asked Niina Kahori: "After this commission is over, there should be no problem in determining the commission fee based on the nature of the case, right?"
"no problem!"
The new name, Xiangbaoli, immediately agreed.
It is not easy for her to find a detective to help with the investigation. The commission fee...
If the payment is based on the specific circumstances of the case, from her point of view, it is actually very reasonable.
Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with coming here after being introduced by an acquaintance.
After accepting the commission, Fujino planned to go to the editorial office with Niina Kahori.
He remembered that the editorial agency was the key to the breakthrough of this case.
"By the way, Miss Xinming, can you wait a moment?"
Fujino stood up from the sofa and explained: "I have to go upstairs to change my clothes, and I need to explain to my sister..."
"no problem."
Shinna Kabori nodded, and then Fujino returned to the fourth floor.
Bedroom on the fourth floor.
As soon as Fujino opened the door, he saw Akemi Miyano sitting beside the bed.
She held a bowl of porridge in her left hand, scooped it up with a spoon in her right hand, blew lightly, and then fed it to Hui Yuanai who was leaning on the bedside. Hui Yuanai's face was flushed, and she opened her mouth silently...
"Miss Mingmei, is she awake?"
Fujino walked into the bedroom.
"Well, I just woke up."
Miyano Akemi put the porridge on the bedside table beside her, "She probably hasn't eaten all day, so I warmed up some porridge."
"Is that so..."
Fujino took out a black suit from the closet, "You still have to go out so late."
Miyano Akemi looked at Fujino who took out the black suit, and asked curiously, "Is there any commission?"
Judging from this period of time, under normal circumstances, Fujino doesn't care about his attire when he goes out.
Only when conducting some commissioned investigations will he deliberately change into a suit.
"Well, I did receive an order just now."
Fujino took off his sportswear, revealing his white half-sleeves, and then put on a black suit. "The client is the daughter of a popular novelist, and she has entrusted me to find her missing father."
Before going out, Fujino did not forget to explain: "By the way, sister Mingmei, you can go to the convenience store to buy dinner. You shouldn't have to wait for me."
