At noon the next day, Miyuki walked into a coffee shop near the school.She was wearing a blue T-shirt and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail.Although it is not very eye-catching, it can also be regarded as a more obvious dress. She glanced at her Mickey Mouse watch. It was a little short of five.Miyuki was a little uneasy, so she ordered another glass of orange juice.Maybe it was a tense relationship, she felt her throat was a little dry. Just after one o'clock, a man and a woman entered the cafe.Miyuki only took one look and knew that this was the person she wanted to meet.In such hot weather, men in black suits and women in black dresses are very conspicuous.Exactly the kind of dress that was agreed upon on the phone.

The man was wearing sunglasses, and when he saw Miyuki, he pushed the sunglasses up slightly with his index finger. "Is it Miss Miyuki?" the man asked.It's a very mellow sound.Seeing Meixing nodded, the two sat down opposite Meixing in silence. "So...you are detectives, right?" The two of them didn't answer Miyuki's question, but asked the waiter who came over for coffee.The woman's voice is also very beautiful, just like an announcer. "Is there anything you need?" the man asked.This seems to be the answer to Miyuki's question just now.

Miyuki came across such a "Detective Club" by accident.Dad went to the golf course that day, and he had to be found in an emergency, but he couldn't be contacted no matter what.So Miyuki looked up the phone number of the golf course in her father's phone book, and accidentally saw a phone number for "Detective Club", and accidentally knew that there was such a place. "I... I am the daughter of Chang Yangsuke..." Miyuki wanted to introduce herself first, but the male detective held out his right hand to stop her. "We already know something about you. So please tell me directly what you want us to investigate. I think it has something to do with your mother's death."

Miyuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Sure enough, I know it all. No wonder, it's already been published in the newspaper." "Even if it doesn't appear in the papers, we'll know. So what do you need us to do?" At this time, the waiter brought the coffee, and seeing the waiter turned away, Miyuki said, "Well...Actually, everyone has changed a little since that incident." "You are talking about..." "It's my father, my sister, and Aunt Dianzi. It's the three of them. I always feel that they are deliberately hiding something from me. When I'm not around, the three of them are talking quietly there, and if I say something related to the case They immediately interrupted and said something else.”

"Oh?" The male detective glanced at his companion sitting next to him, and then turned his gaze to Miyuki. "But maybe it's just something they adults want to talk about together, maybe they don't think it's necessary for children to know." Miyuki raised her voice a little, obviously she didn't want to be called a child by others, "It's not just that. What Dad said to the police is also a little inexplicable." Then Miyuki told the detectives about her classmates seeing her father at a time that did not match Yangsuke's testimony, and it seemed that her father was not with her aunt at that time.He also talked about how my father's leather shoes were neatly placed in the entrance on the day my mother was killed.

"If what you said is true, it's really unbelievable." The detective said so.But it was impossible to tell from his tone whether he was interested in Miyuki's question. "You think so too? So I would like to ask you to investigate, what exactly are Dad and the others hiding?" "But wouldn't it be better for you to tell the police?" "That can't be done!" This time her voice was louder, so that it attracted the attention of those around her.So Miyuki shrank her neck and lowered her voice: "Because of that, Dad and the others will be suspected. That's why I asked the detectives for help."

The detective folded his arms and looked up at the ceiling with his neck up.After a while, he said to Miyuki as if he had made a big decision: "Okay, let's do it this way. Let's investigate the whereabouts of these three people first. If there are any doubts, we will investigate further. How about it?" "Okay, I think so." "But what about the costs of the investigation? Are you going to have your father pay for it?" "Investigation fees... how much will it cost?" So the detective roughly stated an estimated amount. Miyuki put her hands on her cheeks and thought for a while, then said, "My new year's money is useless at all. I think it's almost enough with this money."

"New Year's money?" "Then please work hard." Miyuki stretched out her right hand. "Thank you then." The detective held Miyuki's hand as he spoke.
