Chapter 87 Detective Maori

—————April 23, 3:50 p.m.————

—————Shimadzu Real Estate Co., Ltd., Head Office——————

Shimadzu Zangyuan, the president of Shimadzu Real Estate Co., Ltd., was flipping through the account book in his hand with some annoyance.

Originally, the foundation construction of the first phase of apartments in the Honichidai area had been completed by this time.

However, due to the existence of the local neighborhood committee, the construction was forced to stop.

If this continues and the construction of the first phase of apartments is delayed, it will become a major challenge to the capital chain.

“Tsk, Sanyuan, I heard that Gu Meimen couldn’t say a word when facing Xiang Yuanguang and being refuted?”

“Is that legendary rookie lawyer from Tokyo really that amazing?”

Shimazu Zangyuan looked at his secretary, and the secretary nodded without hesitation, and he whispered.

“The people who accompanied Kumimon to the briefing explained this.”

“In addition, he also pointed out that lawyer Xiang Yuan’s words were like a Category 8 typhoon, which was hard to resist.”

(A category eight typhoon… well, it should be a metaphor. It seems that this guy is really powerful.)
(It seems that entrusting all powers to Attorney Kumimon may not necessarily solve the crisis.)
(Is there any other way to make Xiang Yuanguang voluntarily withdraw from this commission?)
President Shimazu tapped the table, frowning, unable to think of any other solution for a moment.

The secretary Sanyuan next to him couldn’t come up with any good solution either. After all, they were not experts in this area.

Until this moment, the office door was pushed open with a bang——————

“Father, I have a plan that can restore Shimazu’s sight!”

The young master of Shimadzu Real Estate Co., Ltd., or rather Shimadzu Real Estate Corporation, strode in.

Shimazu Sae, 28 years old, is the only heir to the company, but he is not doing his job properly and is a headache for others.

“To deal with a big lawyer from Tokyo like Genguang, you must first understand his situation.”

“Did you know that there is a famous detective in Tokyo named Maori Kogoro?”

“We can ask him to come and investigate Xiang Yuanguang. He will definitely be able to get enough information!”

Shimazu Sae’s words surprised both the secretary and the president.

As the saying goes, intelligence is the foundation and prerequisite for all battles.

If we knew Xiang Yuanguang’s background, perhaps Xiang Yuanguang could be defeated.

“Okay, Sae, I’ll leave this matter to you. I trust you.”

President Shimazu nodded, and he was just about to ask his secretary to write a check for the operation funds.

Suddenly, the hand holding the check stopped, and he looked at Shimazu Sae hesitantly.

“Sai, tell me, have you broken up with that greedy woman?”

“…”

Shimazu Sae was silent for a moment, then he nodded.

“Of course, Father, I have broken up with her.”

President Shimazu nodded and said nothing more.

Watching his son leave the office with a check for 5 million yen.

He suddenly spoke to the secretary Sanyuan beside him.

“Go check Sae’s recent expenses and the status of the operation funds I’m giving him now.”

“You must not allow that kind of woman to always be around Sae! Do you understand?”

“Also, call Gu Meimen and ask him to resolve this incident quickly. Don’t let it go to the court!”

Secretary Sanyuan nodded and turned to leave.

Brush————

President Shimazu changed the direction of his chair out of habit, felt the sunlight coming in through the window, and nodded secretly.

When you are in a bad mood, get some sun exposure and you will feel much better immediately.

Sure enough, the right to light is a very important thing.

—————April 23, 8:15 p.m.——————————Hotel, a room——————

Xiang Yuanguang marked out everything he observed that afternoon on the residential distribution map.

Looking at the number of homes whose lighting was damaged, I recalled the number of people from the neighborhood committee who participated in the protest.

He couldn’t help but frown and disagreed with this.

There were only fourteen households that actually suffered lighting damage due to Shimadzu Corporation’s Phase I apartment design and were given adequate compensation.

But there were as many as fifty people who protested because their right to light was infringed.

“Sure enough, those guys just want to use this to extort compensation.”

“Yueshui, how are you doing? How’s the investigation going?”

Putting the pen aside, Xiang Genkou turned to look at Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Arita Ryosuke on the other side.

“As you guessed, Chairman Yamada has embezzled a lot of the neighborhood committee’s public funds.”

“And the three families that are shouting the loudest are the aunties who are trying to maintain their superficially luxurious lives.”

“On one side is a man who wants to collect extra fees because his son got into a fight at school.”

“The last party is a neighborhood committee official who is addicted to gambling and can barely make ends meet.”

“Well, they are just a gang of blackmailers.”

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, wearing headphones and sunglasses as usual, replied in a relaxed manner.

She slightly adjusted the audio of the radio at hand, and then continued to immerse herself in the world of music.

(Wow, can this guy really listen to music and me at the same time? He’s really trying to do two things at once.)
Hedgehog-head, who was only at the two-star level in logical thinking and reaction, was somewhat envious of the other detectives’ amazing abilities. He wondered if he would be able to be like these detectives and get any information easily one day.

Xiang Yuanguang turned the pen around in his hand before writing on the notebook, making a simple record.

“With this, all the preparations are complete.”

“Just tear open all the hidden things in front of you.”

“Everything will be solved naturally if it is put under the sun.”

“Ah, actually I don’t think it’s necessary to go through so much trouble. I have an idea.”

Arita Ryosuke suddenly came over and said with a smile.

“Isn’t it all OK if I just buy out Shimadzu and modify the first phase of the project proposal here?”

The hedgehog-head blinked his eyes. What kind of statement is this?

He replied unhappily.

“Does it matter just because you have money? Can you do whatever you want?”

“Sorry, if you have money you can do whatever you want.”

“However, I feel that you, Lawyer Xiang Yuan, cannot understand this feeling.”

Arita Ryosuke’s words immediately hurt Xiang Yuanguang’s heart.

The hedgehog-head’s hair drooped down. He sighed, walked to the window, and bathed in the evening breeze.

Suddenly, the flip phone in my pocket started ringing.

Xiang Yuanguang took out his flip phone, opened it, and saw that the caller was a very familiar name.

【Edogawa Conan】.

“I’m Xiang Yuanguang. What’s the matter… huh? Commission? Investigating me? Is this true or not?”

“Who is the client? The president of Shimadzu Corporation? I thought you were going to say Kumimon.”

Xiang Yuanguang looked at the dim street outside and replied casually.

“I see. When will you arrive at Honchitai tomorrow? I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

“…What do you mean I can do it alone? Do you really think I haven’t read the Building Standards Act?”

“Okay, okay, see you tomorrow.”
