Chapter 245 The Depressed Murderer
As close friends, Mr. Tsuji Hiroki and Mouri Kogoro are two completely different people.
He himself is a young and promising professional baseball player who is quite famous in society.
His family lived in a single-family villa with a trendy design. There were a row of cool and flamboyant sports cars and motorcycles parked in the garage of the villa, which visitors could see from a distance even before they got close to the door. The owner of this house is generous.
To describe it in a way that ordinary people who have never been contaminated by decadent moneyism can easily understand——
Apart from not committing any illegal crime, Mr. Tsuji Hiroki's living standard is similar to that of the protagonist in GTA5.
When I walked to the door again, before I had time to ring the doorbell, I heard a noise coming from the villa:
Noisy electronic music, messy disco dance steps, and many young men and women cheering wildly.
There seemed to be a lively party going on in the villa.
It's like bringing a nightclub to your home.
"Uncle Maori still knows such a friend?"
Lin Xinyi was a little surprised:
God knows how this trendy and unrestrained young rich man became friends with Mouri Kogoro, a middle-aged decadent uncle who is conservative and traditional at heart.
And this question was quickly answered:
As friends, Kogoro Mouri and Hiroki Tsuji indeed have common interests.
This commonality is also easy to notice:
As soon as Lin Xinyi and others walked into the living room, they saw Tsuji Hiroki hugging two hot and beautiful girls on the left and right, happily drinking rouge wine.
The young girls happily surrounded the handsome and wealthy Mr. Hiroki, and they got along extremely harmoniously.
Tsuji Hiroki is like the twelve-winged archangel in a magical story, with wings all around him.
"Mr. Kogoro, why are you here too!"
Tsuji Hiroki was very excited to meet old friends again.
He is indeed a brotherly friend, and he never forgets to let his friends enjoy it as soon as they meet:
"You came just in time!"
"There were many beautiful girls at the party I threw this time, better than last time."
"Ahem!"
Mouri Kogoro's face turned into the color of a pig's kidney.
He glanced guiltily at his daughter next to him with a murderous look in his eyes, and hurriedly introduced to his friend:
"This is my daughter Mao Lilan."
"Um, your daughter?"
Tsuji Hiroki immediately reacted:
"Last time, uh, Mr. Kogoro didn't come to the party last time. What a pity!"
Looking at the gloomy-looking Miss Mori, and the two equally unfamiliar faces with serious expressions, Lin Shinichi and Belmode, Tsuji Hiroki quickly realized that Kogoro was not here to attend the party.
"Ahem, if we have something to do, let's go to the room and talk."
He obviously also knew that his current appearance was not suitable to be shown in front of his friend's underage daughter.
So, Tsuji Hiroki put aside the Yingying Yanyan around him for the time being, and took everyone who came to visit to the study on the second floor of the villa.
"Mr. Mori, why did you come to see me?"
Tsuji Hiroki asked in confusion.
"Hiroki, you may be in danger."
When talking about business, Mouri Kogoro's tone became very serious.
He described in detail the consecutive attacks that occurred around him in the past two days, and also warned Tsuji Hiroki to pay attention to personal safety.
"Continuous attacks in numerical order?"
Tsuji Hiroki did not question Kogoro's words.
Especially when Lin Xinyi, who was traveling with him, revealed his identity and made him realize that this was the star management officer of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Even the famous administrator came to the door in person to issue a warning. The situation was obviously very serious.
"That's right. If the murderer's purpose is to take revenge on Mr. Maori, I may indeed become his target."
"If that's the case, then I'll just stay at home for the next two days!"
Under the insistence of Lin Shinichi and Kogoro, Tsuji Hiroki, who had not taken it seriously at first, finally followed the good advice and made a reassuring decision:
“I originally planned to fly a helicopter for fun tomorrow.”
"Now it seems that it is better not to engage in such dangerous activities for the time being."
He canceled his plan to fly the helicopter and said to Kogoro Mori:
"Mr. Kogoro, don't worry, I will pay more attention to you these two days."
"I will go abroad to participate in a baseball game the day after tomorrow. Even if the murderer really targets me, he will not be able to attack me."
After hearing Tsuji Hiroki's statement, everyone felt relieved a little.
The main purpose of their visit this time is to remind Tsuji Hiroki to pay attention to safety. Since he agrees to cooperate, everyone can rest assured:
"Then Mr. Tsuji, please pay attention to your safety, and we will leave first."
Lin Xinyi stood up to say goodbye to Tsuji Hiroki, and said with a serious look:
"The Metropolitan Police Department will send police officers to monitor and protect your home in the past two days. I hope you can understand, Mr. Tsuji."
"Um, does it need to go to this point?"
Tsuji Hiroki scratched his head helplessly:
"Okay, it's all up to you."
"correct."
He was about to send Lin Xinyi and others away, but something suddenly occurred to him:
"Mr. Kogoro, you happen to be here too."
"The party has just started tonight. Do you want to stay here? Um."
Seeing Miss Mori's strange look, Tsuji Hiroki's expression suddenly became more serious:
"Let's have a drink together."
"Mr. Kogoro, do you like drinking French wine?"
"It just so happens that I'm very familiar with the owner of a French restaurant. I can ask the bartender there to deliver wine at any time."
Seeing such warm hospitality from his friends, Mouri Kogoro suddenly became interested:
"It's okay to stay here and drink."
On the way here, he had already made a list of friends with whom he had a good relationship.
Next, the police only need to look for the people with numbers on the list and visit them one by one. There is indeed no need for Mouri Kogoro to follow them all the time.
Even if he stays here to attend the party at night, it won't delay anything.
"Dad." Mao Lilan's voice sounded faintly: "Do you really just want to stay here and drink?"
"Just drinking"
Really, he's never done anything outrageous.
It’s just drinking—drinking with your arms around the girl in the nightclub is considered simple drinking.
Due to financial problems and Xiaolan's control, he has not engaged in such purely recreational activities for a long time.
Mouri Kogoro struggled for a long time, but he was still reluctant to give up this rare opportunity: "Actually, I am mainly not worried about Hiroki's safety."
"So if I stay here to drink, I can also be his bodyguard."
"That's right!" Tsuji Hiroki enthusiastically put his arms around Moori Kogoro's shoulders: "With Mr. Kogoro escorting me, I can hold a party at home with peace of mind!"
"You guys." Mao Lilan closed her mouth angrily.
She stared straight at her lecherous father, who was already a little confused, but after a period of silence, she quietly sat back in her seat.
"Hey? Xiaolan, why are you sitting back again?"
Mouri Kogoro asked awkwardly.
"Dad, aren't you going to be a bodyguard for Mr. Hiroki here?"
Mao Lilan folded his arms and sat there with a golden sword, like a gatekeeper in a New Year painting:
"I'm here to help too!"
In the end, Lin Xinyi took Belmode back to the Metropolitan Police Department to continue participating in the investigation of this serial attack.
Both Maori and his daughter stayed at Tsuji Hiroki's party.
As soon as Mao Lilan stayed like this, the whole party changed.
What was originally a banquet for adults under the age of 18 suddenly turned into an ordinary drinking party at the level of parent guidance.
The beautiful ladies invited by Tsuji Hiroki all put on their coats and kept a very safe distance from the men present, especially Mouri Kogoro, who was guarding his daughter.
Mouri Kogoro could do nothing but drink sullenly with Tsuji Hiroki.
after awhile
Tsuji Hiroki answered the phone, and then smiled and said to Mouri Kogoro:
"Mr. Kogoro, the bartender I called is here."
"This time I specially asked him to prepare a lot of famous wines, so we can all try them together."
"Well" Mouri Kogoro was a little surprised: "Did you really invite the bartender over?"
"Isn't there nothing else to do?"
Tsuji Hiroki glanced helplessly at Miss Mori, who was sitting upright next to her:
There's this innocent underage girl staring at you
Apart from drinking some expensive wine, they couldn't do any more exciting entertainment.
"Sorry." Mouri Kogoro looked at his best friend with guilt in his eyes.
"It's okay." Tsuji Hiroki nodded in understanding: "That's why I'm not in a hurry to get married and have children."
The two men looked at each other and sighed deeply.
At this time, Tsuji Hiroki's servant had opened the door and introduced the restaurant bartender he invited.
The bartender, or sommelier, of this high-end restaurant is not an ordinary restaurant waiter.
They have a wealth of experience and knowledge in wine tasting and are considered masters in their professional fields.
However, in front of a wealthy man like Tsuji Hiroki who has deep pockets and a good relationship with the restaurant owner.
The master, who is rarely seen by ordinary people, has almost been reduced to a servant. He can be called to deliver wine to your door with just a phone call, and he can also do some live performances of wine tasting at parties.
But this time, the sommelier invited by Tsuji Hiroki was treated with extra courtesy as soon as he entered the door:
"Mr. Sawaki Fairy?"
Both Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan opened their eyes in surprise.
The sommelier invited by Hiroki Tsuji turned out to be an old acquaintance of their family, Mr. Heiji Sawaki.
"Mr. Kogoro, and Xiaolan?"
Seeing Maori and his daughter, Zekihei couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"Why are you here?"
"Eh?" Tsuji Hiroki was slightly startled: "So everyone knows each other? Haha, that's great!"
"So that's it." Mouri Kogoro also reacted: "Hiroki, the bartender you want to hire is Mr. Sawaki who works in the French restaurant we used to frequent!"
Several people exchanged pleasantries and introduced their relationships to each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Haha, actually Mr. Sawaki and I are also old friends."
"When I usually hold parties, I always invite him to do a wine tasting performance!"
Tsuji Hiroki smiled broadly.
However, he didn't notice that when he mentioned the 'wine tasting performance', Sawaki's eyes quietly turned sinister.
At this moment, a trace of ferocious murderous intent quietly flashed in the eyes of this middle-aged sommelier, who had a clear face, was well-dressed, and looked like a gentleman.
And this murderous intention disappeared in an instant, replaced by a gentle smile:
"By the way, Mr. Mori, Mr. Tsuji"
Sawaki Fair asked somewhat casually:
"When I entered the villa, I saw a police car parked at the door."
"What happened here?"
"Oh, don't worry."
Tsuji Hiroki replied with a relaxed expression:
"They were sent by the Metropolitan Police to protect me!"
"Recently, there was a madman outside attacking people related to Mr. Kogoro. I may be one of them."
"Because of this, I even canceled my helicopter flight tomorrow."
"But now the Metropolitan Police Department is monitoring and protecting me. I will go abroad to compete the day after tomorrow, so the murderer will definitely not be able to find me. Hahahaha."
He smiled without any scruples.
Sawaki's expression gradually became stiff:
I will leave the country the day after tomorrow.
There were people from the Metropolitan Police Department monitoring and protecting us for the past two days.
And not only will he not fly a helicopter tomorrow, he will also stay at home to avoid trouble.
"Damn it, how could this happen?"
Sawaki tried his best to smile, with murderous intent in his heart:
"How can I attack him?!"
The second update will be later
