Chapter 352 Mōri Kogoro’s subordinates (Ch 352)

Wangyue did not return to his room, but went into Room 201. He planned to spend more time with Xiaoai.

Ai’s body is that of a child now, so even if she can’t do anything, it would be nice to just chat and watch TV together.

“Mr. Iide said that he became the owner of a cinema. You gave him the money, right?” The meaning of Ai’s words is very clear. It refers to the transaction with the god of death – exchanging life from others through money.

Mingmei placed the tea in front of Mochizuki and asked curiously, “How much money can you buy for how much life?” The two sisters also met Ide Toshiyuki today, and vaguely noticed that he had become a little more “mature”.

Obviously, Ide Toshiyuki must have made a deal with the god of death.

Mochizuki did not hide it. He took a sip of the tea and said, “One year of life for 10 million yen, a total of 5 years.”

“Only 10 million?” Xiao Ai and Ming Mei both widened their eyes and stared at Mochizuki, as if they couldn’t believe it.

Then, Xiao Ai looked at Wangyue with contempt, and said, “You are simply a profiteer!”

“Puff… cough cough cough!” Mochizuki almost spit out the tea in his mouth when Xiao Ai called him a profiteer. If he had spit, it would have sprayed directly on Xiao Ai’s face. Fortunately, Mochizuki forced himself to swallow the tea, but this time he choked.

“Why am I a profiteer?”

“Others buy their lifespans from you, and you sell them for 100 billion a year. You spend money to buy lifespans from others, but they only give you 10 million a year. That’s a price difference of 10,000 times!” Xiao Ai complained: “You are simply a profiteer among profiteers!”

Wangyue really couldn’t refute this statement because it was the fact.

“In fact, I also thought about offering more. I set the price at 100 million yuan at the beginning.” Wangyue said what was in his mind, “However, most people can’t make that much money in their lifetime. If I offer this price, the transaction target might regard the transaction as an opportunity for speculation. So I lowered the ratio a little bit.”

After hearing what Mochizuki said, Ai and Mingmei fell silent.

They knew it was true.

The average salary of white-collar workers is about 300,000 yen, which is about 3 million a year. However, they have time to rest in a year, which can be used to do many things. If you make a deal with the god of death, you will be taken away for a whole year, including your rest time. The price of 10 million is indeed more appropriate.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Do you want to go to the movies together tomorrow?” Mochizuki invited Ai.

Mingmei refused directly, while Xiaoai counted the movie tickets and said, “There are so many tickets that we can’t use them all. How about inviting those kids to come as well?”

“Kids, you mean Ayumu-ta and Mitsuhiko?”

“right.”

“That’s fine. I’ll call Conan and ask Dr. Agasa to notify the children.”

…

At eight o’clock in the evening, Wangyue left Xiaoai and planned to go somewhere.

When he was following the criminal during the day, Wang Yue found that a man with messy hair was also following him in a van, so he left a location mark on the man. Now he plans to go and see what happened to the man.

“He is neither a police officer nor a member of the Ghost Tiger Gang, so why is he following me?” Wang Yue thought to himself while flying. He estimated that this person’s target was not him, but the Ghost Tiger Gang.

Following the direction of the positioning mark, Mochizuki came to a dark road in Beika Town, and the van he had seen during the day was parked on the side of the road. “In the car?” Mochizuki walked straight through the car body and entered it.

The situation inside the car was beyond his expectations. The man who was driving during the day was indeed here, but there was another person in the car, Mochizuki’s future father-in-law – Kogoro Mori.

Wangyue felt like his brain was freezing.

What’s going on? Why is Uncle Maori here? What’s his relationship with this person?

“I can understand that he found out I was following him. After all, I followed him closely all the way, so it’s possible that he noticed me.” Sawabe tapped the steering wheel and muttered to himself, “But I can’t figure out how he set out later than me and knew what car the criminal drove and where he went.”

As soon as he heard this, Mochizuki knew that this person and Kogoro were discussing him.

Could it be that this person was following me…or was he following the criminal at the instigation of Kogoro?

“Did you really not see anyone else following the criminal, Sawabe?” Kogoro asked thoughtfully.

“I didn’t notice it.” Sawabe shook his head and answered expressionlessly, “Like you, I thought that it was Mochizuki’s companion who caught up with the criminal in advance and reported his location to Mochizuki… But I followed Mochizuki all the way and didn’t see any car that looked like it was driven by Mochizuki’s companion.”

After a long silence, Kogoro said, “I guess his companions left when Mochizuki caught up with the criminal.”

“Perhaps this is the only explanation.” Sawabe couldn’t think of any other more reasonable explanation.

Mochizuki was secretly surprised. This man named Sawabe called Kogoro the team leader? What faction did Kogoro join?

“Who is this Mochizuki?” Sawabe turned to look at Kogoro. “It shouldn’t be for no reason that you asked me to investigate his information before, team leader. There must be something strange about him that caught your attention. Mochizuki, male, from country Z, 18 years old. The correct pronunciation of his name is うつ (bou-getsu)…”

Listening to Zebu reciting his own file, Mochizuki was very surprised. Did they investigate me a long time ago? However, all they found were official information, which was inexplicably arranged when they traveled through time.

Kogoro had no idea that Mochizuki was eavesdropping next to 303. He calmly said, “I suspected at first that he had ulterior motives in approaching me, and later I found out that he did, but his target was my daughter…”

“Haha, now your daughter has been abducted by him, and you didn’t stop it. It seems that you trust him very much?” Sawabe laughed twice, which was a rare occasion.

Kogoro hesitated for a moment and said, “I can’t say I’m completely relieved. Although I can see that he is sincere to Xiaolan, he seems to be doing something dangerous. I know nothing about him.”

“What’s the meaning?”

“He’s with the guys from that organization.”

“who?”

“Miyano Akemi…I visited Mochizuki in the hospital last time.” Kogoro said this name.

Mochizuki was shocked. Kogoro actually knew about Mingmei’s existence? He also knew that Mingmei was a member of the organization?

“Is he a member of the organization?” Sawabe asked.

Kogoro shook his head. “No, I think he is more likely to be an undercover agent sent by some force into the organization. Because…”

“Why?”

“No, nothing.” Kogoro originally wanted to say: Because Mochizuki obviously already knows that Conan is Kudo Shinichi, but the organization still doesn’t know about this, so even if Mochizuki is a member of the organization, he is definitely not in the same mind as the organization.

But Kogoro didn’t say it out loud. He didn’t want to tell anyone about Conan.

Wangyue listened to their conversation and fell into deep thought.
