Conan's other me

Chapter 48 Moths to the Flame ([-])

"Robbery, kidnapping, murder...Really, there seem to be more and more crimes recently."

One day, on the way home from school, Conan clasped his hands behind his head and complained to Fengbara beside him.

"Yeah, and it seems that you can touch them all."

"...Don't tell me I'm a catastrophe," Conan glanced at Fengyuan angrily, "Don't forget that you are me too—besides, I wasn't at the bank robbery yesterday."

"...Bank robbery?" Fengyuan paused.

"That's right, Mihua Bank was robbed of one billion yen. I only heard about it from Uncle Maori this morning."

"Are you there?"

"...Didn't I just say that I'm not here?" Conan glanced at Fengyuan inexplicably, "And yesterday we went on a treasure hunt with those little devils, you don't even forget this, do you?"

After a pause, Conan glanced at Fengyuan suspiciously again: "Are you sick?"

"...No. It's just that I was a little distracted just now." Fengyuan said, "I was thinking about what to eat for dinner."

Ayumi was going out with her parents after school this afternoon, so the Boy Detectives broke up early.

Seeing that it was still early for dinner, Conan went to Dr. Ali's house with Fengyuan to see if there were any useful inventions that were newly released.

The result is yes, but only half.

"Prisoner tracking glasses?" Conan looked at Dr. Ali in surprise.

"That's right!"

"I said, doctor, what do you think I'm wearing now?" Conan pointed to his glasses.

Really, Fengyuan seems to be out of shape, and the doctor seems to be out of shape, I don't know what's wrong...

"This is an improved version!" Dr. Ali proudly resolved Conan's doubts. "In the past, your tracking glasses could only track their own transmitters. But after the improvement, as long as any one of you places a transmitter, both glasses can track it."

"Just tap here lightly," the doctor pointed to the frame on the right side of the glasses in his hand, "you can switch the tracking target."

"Oh! That's not bad, Doctor."

Conan acknowledged this.

In this way, if he meets a guy like Tequila again, it will be easier to track him or the one who is not present in Fengbara.

"What's more," the doctor continued, "just tap three times in quick succession to turn on the transmitter in the glasses and let the other pair of glasses track it! How about it, am I amazing? Hahaha!"

Dr. Ali smiled triumphantly, and Conan took the new glasses from the doctor's hand with a black line on his face.

Conan glanced at it and changed it, then threw the old glasses on the table casually.

When Dr. Ali calmed down, Conan made a few more requests to see if the doctor could make them, and then planned to return to Xiaolan's house for dinner.

"I'll go with me too." Fengyuan also stood up.

Conan was a little surprised, Fengyuan seldom went to eat when Xiaolan needed to go to school.

"The doctor has been ordering fried chicken delivery for several days in a row." Fengyuan explained.

"Because the newly opened restaurant is really delicious." Dr. A Li said awkwardly.

The current food delivery industry is underdeveloped, and it is basically delivered by shop assistants or winery employees who have many jobs, so it is okay to order only one, but it is not only too troublesome to order two, but it will exceed the budget.

Conan gave Dr. Ari a look of "paying attention to your body", and then went to the Mori Detective Agency with Kaedehara.

Uncle Mori didn't mind, after all Fengyuan rarely came.

Compared with Conan who is there every day, Uncle Mori feels that Fengyuan's 1000 million living expenses are very worthwhile.

Xiaolan looked very happy.

She has always felt that the child is a little not close enough to her, which she feels is the first step in the child's opening up.

……

After the meal, when Uncle Maori felt a little bored, a commission came to the door.

The client is a rustic girl with double braids and big thick round glasses, but she still gives people a very cute feeling.

"Mr. Detective, please," she said anxiously, folded her hands on her chest, and leaned over to Uncle Mao Li, "help me find my father!"

"Okay… okay."

The girl looked about the same age as his own daughter, and looked very pitiful. Uncle Mao Li suddenly softened his heart.

Xiaolan couldn't help standing aside, listening worriedly.

So are Conan and Kaedehara.

"My father came to Tokyo to look for a job," the girl who claimed to be Hirota Masami explained the situation to Uncle Mori, "but I haven't heard from him for a long time. He also quit his job in the taxi company. Please ask the police to look for it, but they can't find it..."

"That's why you came to me..." Uncle Mao Li answered.

"Yes, I took a leave of absence from the school and came from Yamagata (county)..." Masami Hirota said in a low tone, "There is no other way but to ask the detective."

School... Sure enough, I'm the same age as Xiaolan.

Uncle Maori thought to himself, and responded, "Understood. I accept your commission!"

Once the entrustment was accepted, it officially entered the link of discussing details.

Masami Hirota took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Mori. On the photo was a smiling middle-aged man holding a cat in his arms. "This is my father, Kenzo Hirota," Masami Hirota said, "Height 1.7 meters, 48 ​​years old this year."

"Who is this cat?"

"That's my father's cat. It's name is [Quick]. My father likes cats very much, and he also has three cats [Di], [Hao], and [Wang]..."

Uncle Mori asked about the specific situation, but Conan lost interest in the commission.

Catching cheating and finding people are the two things that Uncle Maori is best at, and they are also the skills that Uncle Maori relies on for survival.On these two points, Conan even felt that Uncle Mori might not be inferior to him... After all, Uncle Maoli has a lot of experience.

So Conan became distracted, remembering that he hadn't tried the new tracking glasses yet.

"Hey, Kaedehara," Conan whispered, "Have you tried the new tracking glasses?"

Fengbara shook his head and continued to listen to the conversation between Uncle Mori and Masami Hirota.

Conan was a little surprised that Kaedehara was interested in such a boring event as finding someone, but he didn't think much about it because it was still related to detectives.

So, he planned to stick his transmitter on Xiaolan's body quietly, and let Fengyuan go back to see if it worked.

Just do what comes to mind.While Xiaolan was pouring tea for Ms. Masami Hirota, Conan sneaked past.

Then a foot slipped and fell on Masami Hirota.

"Hey! Brat!" Uncle Mao Li said dissatisfied.

Conan hurriedly got up and apologized, and looked for the missing transmitter by the way.

He soon discovered that the transmitter had accidentally stuck to the watch worn by Hirota Masami's right hand.

Just when Conan was hesitating whether to take it back, Masami Hirota couldn't help but shed tears.

"My mother passed away when I was a child...Dad is my only relative," Hirota Masami's voice trembled, with tears in his eyes, "If something happens to my father, then I..."

She couldn't help it anymore, covered her face and sobbed.
