Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed

Japan Metropolitan Police Department.

A young policeman on night shift was about to take a nap, but was interrupted by a sudden email alert.

He frowned, feeling a little unhappy, but decided to check it out.

He clicked on the email and was surprised to find that it was a response to the task posted by the Metropolitan Police Department on the bounty hunter website.

He looked at the sender's name again - "Joker". He couldn't help but frowned even deeper, muttering in his heart: When did such a code-named bounty hunter appear in Japan?

With a hint of curiosity and doubt, he clicked on the attachment of the email. It was full of recording files, and each recording was carefully labeled with a name: [Bribing a Member of Parliament], [Kidnapping Plan 1], [Kidnapping Plan 2], [Blackmail Plan 1], [Blackmail Plan 2]...

He clicked on a recording casually, and after listening to it, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed his boss's number.

"What's up?"

"Hello, Mr. Murayama, it's me. The bounty mission of Onitsuka Society has been completed, and the information provided by the other party actually includes a kidnapping plan to be implemented tomorrow!" He reported anxiously.

"What?!" The boss's voice instantly rose several degrees, "I know, I'll come right over. Go and gather the others!"

"Yes!" The young policeman answered, and then threw himself into the intense preparations.

...

The next night, the bounty of Onitsuka Society was quietly deposited into the overseas bank account that Xiaobai had carefully prepared.

A full 2.5 million yen!

When Taro Jouno first saw the number, he was delighted, but then he frowned again: "Xiaobai, this amount seems to be wrong, right?"

Xiaobai smiled slightly and explained: "The other party said in the email that because the recording provided successfully prevented a kidnapping case, the rescued family gave an additional 1 million yen as a thank-you gift to express their gratitude."

"Oh, so that's it." Taro Jouno suddenly realized, but he always felt that this number was a bit subtle, as if it was a bit ironic. But then he thought about it again, making money, how could it be shabby, so he was relieved.

In the next ten days, perhaps because Conan had to go to school, or because there were too many events triggered recently, the "Death Halo" seemed to have entered a dormant period, and Conan was not involved in any events.

Taro Jouno was also happy to enjoy this tranquility. He helped in the cafe during the day and learned the craft of coffee making from Azusa Enomoto. At night, he was busy practicing his abilities. When there was a bounty, he completed the bounty task under the command of Xiaobai and tested his training results. His life was so comfortable.

During this period, the Boy Detective Team always loved to run to the Poirot Cafe after school, and played detective games and dress-up games with Xiaobai. They became regular customers of the cafe.

Since seeing Xiaobai's amazing dress-up, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko have been fascinated by dressing Xiaobai in various clothes. Every day, they brought some mini costumes and excitedly dressed Xiaobai.

Seeing this, Taro Jouno asked a few questions curiously. When he learned that these clothes were taken from the clothes of their Barbie dolls at home, he smiled and let them do whatever they wanted.

Of course, when the Junior Detectives visited the Polo Cafe, in addition to enjoying the fun of the game, they also ordered juice, cakes and other desserts so as not to occupy the seat without spending.

At first, Azusa Enomoto was worried that these little guys didn't have enough pocket money, but Taro Jouno quietly told her that these little guys were actually quite rich, so she happily accepted them as regular customers of the cafe.

On the third day, Mitsuru Mamiya arrived as scheduled and had a friendly negotiation with Taro Jouno on the coffee bean transaction at the Polo Cafe.

After some negotiations, the two sides finally determined the price of 5,000 yen per kilogram of coffee beans and finalized the first order of 500 kilograms.

Mitsuru Mamiya was very generous. Before seeing the actual coffee beans, he wrote a check for 2.5 million yen to Taro Jouno on the spot, and said that the coffee beans only needed to be delivered to his designated location within a week.

Taro Jouno took the check and fell silent. Why is it 250 again...

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he readily agreed to the deal considering the interests of the business.

After all, the cost of his coffee beans was only 800 yen per pound, excluding the emotional particle bonus of Xiaobai, and the selling price was as high as 5,000 yen per pound, with a profit margin of 525%, which was more profitable than doing bounty missions.

On the seventh day, Shiraishi Toshihiko, the president of Iroha Toy Company, came to the Poirot Coffee House and had a detailed discussion with Taro Jouno on the production order of Xiaobai dolls.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Taro Jouno sentPaid a 30% advance payment, a total of 900,000 yen.

Although he now has enough funds to pay the full amount, considering the unknown strength of the other party, he decided to proceed step by step according to the previously agreed process.

First pay a 30% advance payment, and then wait until the other party produces the sample, and pay 20% after the acceptance is satisfactory, and pay the remaining 50% after all are manufactured.

…

It was snowing heavily. After school, the five elementary school students of the Junior Detective Team jumped out of Teitan Elementary School and hurried to the Poirot Cafe.

"Let's go to Brother Taro's store to play!" Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko excitedly suggested.

"Good idea, I agree with both hands!" Kojima Motota raised his hand high.

"Hehe, I also brought a girl's festival costume this time. Xiaobai must look very good in it!" Yoshida Ayumi gently shook the small schoolbag on her shoulder, with a face full of expectation.

"When we play the detective game later, Conan, don't answer first. We have to use our brains!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya turned his head and looked at Conan seriously.

"You guys are slow, and you blame me for answering first?" Edogawa Conan rolled his eyes and teased.

"By the way, I saw Brother Taro and the people in the toy factory talking about making the same doll as Xiaobai. Do you think the doll will have the function of automatic dressing?" Yoshida Ayumi's eyes flashed with admiration.

"It shouldn't be, that's a mass-produced doll." Huiyuan Ai analyzed calmly.

The five people talked and laughed along the way, and didn't notice that a figure in a Porsche 356A parked next to them was staring at them with ill intentions.

"This game ends here!" The people in the car whispered to themselves.

"It's time to wake up from the dream and celebrate our reunion!"

"Use your favorite rose color to witness this moment!"

Gin sat in the car, his eyes fixed on Ai Haibara who was wearing a bright red coat. He quietly opened the door, a cigarette in his mouth, stared at the five people who were walking away with a sinister look, and muttered to himself: "Ah~ Shirley~"

Ai Haibara seemed to feel something, and turned back suddenly, but saw her nightmare all the time - Gin from the organization!

"Ah——!" Ai Haibara screamed, suddenly woke up from the dream, gasping for breath, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

Listening to the even snoring of Dr. Agasa next to her, Ai Haibara gradually calmed down. She touched her forehead and smiled bitterly: "I have a nightmare again."
