In the alley.

Outside a wooden door with a broken lock cylinder.

Two people, an old man and a young man, listened.

"The safe and the door lock on the outside looked obviously opened by force."

Inside, the voice of Mouri Kogoro came, "Mr. Asada, you just discovered it this morning, right?"

"Yes, because I stayed up all night last night and worked here until dawn."

The middle-aged lawyer is the owner of this firm, named Kimihiko Asada.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "So I think it was during the hour or two when I returned home to wash up this morning that the gangsters saw the opportunity and broke in and pried open the safe..."

"I see..." Mouri Kogoro nodded: "Then what exactly did you lose? I guess it's not cash or something, otherwise you should have called the police instead of making a special trip to entrust me as a detective.

"

Hearing this, Dr. Ali, who was leaning outside the door, was obviously relieved.

As long as you don't hire a lawyer to file a divorce lawsuit with Yingli...

He was just about to remind Ye Gengyi to leave quietly, but saw that the latter didn't seem to have this intention.

No way...

Dr. A Li suddenly remembered that when he and Xiao Ai went shopping yesterday evening, he heard her mention Ye Gengyi's case that afternoon.

Originally, Xiaolan's friend was going to go to Mouri Kogoro for a commission, but was intercepted midway by Ye Gengyi.

Hey hey... Could it be that this time you want to grab business directly in front of others?

Dr. A Li looked sideways.

Ye Gengyi noticed the sight and turned around, reading the other person's expression, but did not refute anything.

Mixing commission fees with Mouri Kogoro is also one of the ways to make money, but what surprised him slightly was the reasoning of this confused detective just now.

Because the lost item was not reported to the police but to a detective, it was initially determined that the assessed value of the lost item was higher than the commission fee, and it was not something suitable for most people to know.

This is a very normal logic,

But this matter seems very abnormal when it comes to Moori Kogoro.

Especially when the other party said it without thinking at all.

Could it be that...Conan wouldn't hide it if he wasn't around?

Ye Gengyi was very curious.

He made a silencing gesture to Dr. Ali and continued to listen.

In the room, the middle-aged lawyer was also shocked by Mouri Kogoro's thinking speed.

However, in his impression, the other party was always the famous detective, so he didn't seem too surprised after sighing with emotion.

Lawyer Asada took a deep breath and said: "As expected of Mr. Mori, what was stolen from the safe... was a suicide note."

Immediately afterwards, he began to talk about the family grievances of his deceased employer, Kotaro Tangqiao.

The Tangqiao chairman's first wife had passed away, and even though he still had two sons and one daughter, he actually planned to make a new will and distribute all his property to the man who had been his mistress and secretary for decades.

woman...

This Tangqiao chairman is very willful.

Upon hearing this, Ye Geng instantly thought of a picture.

In the hospital, Kotaro Tangqiao had an oxygen tube inserted into his nose. The doctor holding a case next to him said: "Give it a try, maybe there is hope of rescue."

The three children shook their heads decisively and said with unusual determination, "Just pull it out."

From this, it can be seen that the suspects in this suicide note theft incident should be among the three 'former' heirs.

So, at the same time that Ye Gengyi made his judgment, Maori Kogoro also gave a corresponding answer.

"It seems that if I want to find the real will, I have to meet the three 'former' heirs."

"Well, I think so too, Mr. Mori," Lawyer Asada stood up and said, "The three of them should be at the funeral held for Mr. Kotaro Tanghashi."

"It's impossible. That will may have been disposed of long ago."

Ye Geng opened the door and walked in, "Burn it, tear it into pieces and flush it directly into the sewer. Even if you hide it, there are not many ways to make that kind of thing disappear."

"This gentleman..."

"Young boy, and... Dr. Agasa?" Mouri Kogoro sat up from the sofa, with a look of surprise on his face, "Why are you here?"

"Uh..." Dr. Ali scratched his head in embarrassment, looking at a loss for words.

"I just happened to be passing by," Ye Gengyi said, turning to look at the lawyer who looked a little surprised, and said: "According to common sense, shouldn't there be a disaster recovery backup for things like wills?"

"Because Chairman Tangqiao entrusted me to handle it before he died, so... I haven't had time to make a backup for safekeeping." Lawyer Asada also knew that this was his own work error, and it was inevitable that he was a little resentful when he made this defense.

He was silent for a moment, then looked at Mouri Kogoro, "Um...Mr. Mouri, are these two your friends?"

"That's right..."

The friendship between Baijiu is pretty solid.

A certain servant did not rush to issue an eviction order, but looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Did you all...hear the conversation I just had with Lawyer Asada?"

"A little bit." Ye Gengyi said.

...how much is that?

Mouri Kogoro continued to be suspicious.

"As soon as we saw you getting out of the taxi, Maori, we followed you..." Dr. A Li was more honest.

A tool man: "..."

Lawyer Asada: "..."

(\\-_-)\\┯━┯

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

God steps on the horse a little bit...

Didn’t you hear everything?

Hearing this, both pairs of eyes looked at Ye Gengyi.

Ye Gengyi was unmoved and continued: "I would like to ask, how much commission fee did Mr. Maoli receive this time?"

What does this person want to do?

Lawyer Asada is vigilant and watching...

This simple lawyer didn't even think about intercepting the case in the middle.

He just thought that this young man, who was suspected to be a friend of the Maori detective, could judge that the will had been disposed of and wanted to persuade him that if the cost was not high, it would be better to refuse this commission.

hateful...

We absolutely cannot let him get what he wants!

"Well..." Lawyer Asada's thoughts were flowing. He decisively jumped in before a certain tool man spoke and said: "Since the two of you are friends of the Maori detective, you must have good reasoning skills. In this way... besides me

In addition to the 700,000 entrusted to Mr. Mori, we will add another 300,000 to make a total of 1 million. How about entrusting the three of us to help together?"

"You are so polite," Ye Geng glanced at the pen and paper on the table and said, "Do you want to sign the contract now? And... if the will is not found, how should the commission fee be calculated?"

"That... contract is unnecessary," Lawyer Asada gritted his teeth, "No matter whether it is successful or not, as long as you don't make any announcement to the public at that time, I will pay the commission fee and add another 100,000 for a total of 1.1 million... Sir, what do you think?

How about it?"

I lost Mr. Tangqiao's will. It's a good thing that I found it. If I didn't find it and the matter was publicized, the best result would be that his law firm would close down...

This young man is not simple, but if he could find a will, it would be a waste of money.

Lawyer Asada thought.

Dr. A Li: "!!!"

He did it, and what’s more, he actually did it!

Mouri Kogoro: "???"
Chapter completed!
